We consider a homogenization problem associated with quasi-crystalline multiple inte- grals of the form uε ∈ Lp(Ω;Rd) 7→ ˆΩ fR x, xε,uε(x) dx, where uε is subject to constant-coefficient linear partial differential constraints. The quasi-crystalline structure of the underlying composite is encoded in the dependence on the second variable of the Lagrangian, fR, and is modeled via the cut-and-project scheme that interprets the heterogeneous microstructure to be homogenized as an irrational subspace of a higher-dimensional space. A key step in our analysis is the characterization of the quasi-crystalline two-scale limits of sequences of the vector fields uε that are in the kernel of a given constant-coefficient linear partial differential operator, A, that is, Auε = 0. Our results provide a generalization of related ones in the literature concerning the A = curl case to more general differential operators A with constant coefficients, and without coercivity assumptions on the Lagrangian fR.

Inequivalent representations of the dual space
Abstract. We show that there exist inequivalent representations of the dual space of C[0, 1] and of Lp[Rn] for p ∈ [1, ∞). We also show how these inequivalent representations reveal new and important results for both the operator and the geometric structure of these spaces. For example, if A is a proper closed subspace of C[0, 1], there always exists a closed subspace A⊥ (with the same definition as for L2[0, 1]) such that A∩A⊥ = {0} and A⊕A⊥ = C[0, 1]. Thus, the geometry of C[0, 1] can be viewed from a completely new perspective. At the operator level, we prove that every bounded linear operator A on C[0, 1] has a uniquely defined adjoint A∗ defined on C[0, 1], and both can be extended to bounded linear operators on L2[0, 1]. This leads to a polar decomposition and a spectral theorem for operators on the space. The same results also apply to Lp[Rn]. Another unexpected result is a proof of the Baire one approximation property (every closed densely defined linear operator on C[0, 1] is the limit of a sequence of bounded linear operators). A fundamental implication of this paper is that the use of inequivalent representations of the dual space is a powerful new tool for functional analysis.

We study integral operators on the space of square-integrable functions from a compact set, X, to a separableHilbert space,H. The kernel of such an operator takes values in the ideal of Hilbert–Schmidt operators on H.We establish regularity conditions on the kernel under which the associated integral operator is trace class. First, we extend Mercer’s theorem to operator-valued kernels by proving that a continuous, nonnegative-definite, Hermitian symmetric kernel defines a trace class integral operator on L2(X; H) under an additional assumption. Second, we show that a general operator-valued kernel that is defined on a compact set and that is Hölder continuous with Hölder exponent greater than a half is trace class provided that the operator-valued kernel is essentially bounded as a mapping into the space of trace class operators on H. Finally, when dim H < ∞, we show that an analogous result also holds for matrix-valued kernels on the real line, provided that an additional exponential decay assumption holds.more » « less

Time-evolution of partial differential equations is the key to model several dynamical processes, events forecasting but the operators associated with such problems are non-linear. We propose a Padé approximation based exponential neural operator scheme for efficiently learning the map between a given initial condition and activities at a later time. The multiwavelets bases are used for space discretization. By explicitly embedding the exponential operators in the model, we reduce the training parameters and make it more data-efficient which is essential in dealing with scarce real-world datasets. The Padé exponential operator uses a to model the non-linearity compared to recent neural operators that rely on using multiple linear operator layers in succession. We show theoretically that the gradients associated with the recurrent Padé network are bounded across the recurrent horizon. We perform experiments on non-linear systems such as Korteweg-de Vries (KdV) and Kuramoto–Sivashinsky (KS) equations to show that the proposed approach achieves the best performance and at the same time is data-efficient. We also show that urgent real-world problems like Epidemic forecasting (for example, COVID-19) can be formulated as a 2D time-varying operator problem. The proposed Padé exponential operators yield better prediction results ( better MAE than best neural operator (non-neural operator deep learning model)) compared to state-of-the-art forecasting models.more » « less

A realization is a triple, (A,b,c), consisting of a d−tuple, A=(A1,⋯,Ad), d∈N, of bounded linear operators on a separable, complex Hilbert space, H, and vectors b,c∈H. Any such realization defines an analytic non-commutative (NC) function in an open neighbourhood of the origin, 0:=(0,⋯,0), of the NC universe of d−tuples of square matrices of any fixed size. For example, a univariate realization, i.e., where A is a single bounded linear operator, defines a holomorphic function of a single complex variable, z, in an open neighbourhood of the origin via the realization formula b∗(I−zA)−1c . It is well known that an NC function has a finite-dimensional realization if and only if it is a non-commutative rational function that is defined at 0 . Such finite realizations contain valuable information about the NC rational functions they generate. By extending to infinite-dimensional realizations, we construct, study and characterize more general classes of analytic NC functions. In particular, we show that an NC function is (uniformly) entire if and only if it has a jointly compact and quasinilpotent realization. Restricting our results to one variable shows that a formal Taylor series extends globally to an entire or meromorphic function in the complex plane, C, if and only if it has a realization whose component operator is compact and quasinilpotent, or compact, respectively. This motivates our definition of the field of global (uniformly) meromorphic NC functions as the field of fractions generated by NC rational expressions in the ring of NC functions with jointly compact realizations. This definition recovers the field of meromorphic functions in C when restricted to one variable.more » « less
