    The Lusin area function and local admissible convergence of harmonic functions on homogeneous trees

    Full text link
    We prove admissible convergence to the boundary of functions that are harmonic on a subset of a homogeneous tree by means of a discrete Green formula and an analogue of the Lusin area function

    Approximate identities on some homogeneous Banach spaces

    Full text link
    We study the geometric and approximation properties of Marcinkiewicz spaces and Stepanoff spaces, 1p<1 \leq p < \infty, as well as others where translations are not isometric but bounded (the bounded pp-mean spaces) or even unbounded (\Mean0). We construct a function ff that belongs to these spaces and has the unusual and unexpected property that all approximate identities ϕεf\phi_\varepsilon*f converge to ff pointwise but they never converge in norm

    We establish a potential theoretic approach to the study of twist points in the boundary of simply connected planar domains

    A potential theoretic approach to twisting

    No full text
    This paper introduces a geometric, potential theoretic approach to the study of twist point in the boundary of a planar domain. It introduces a map h from a domain D to harmonic functions such that, when z tends to a boundary point w, the limit behaviour of h determines if w is a twist point or is sectorially accessible. The construction is based only on potential-theoretic methods and does not use the Riemann mapping theorem

    Function Spaces with Bounded Lp Means and Their Continuous Functionals

    Full text link
    This paper studies typical Banach and complete seminormed spaces of locally summable functions and their continuous functionals. Such spaces were introduced long ago as a natural environment to study almost periodic functions (Besicovitch, 1932; Bohr and Fölner, 1944) and are defined by boundedness of suitable Lp means. The supremum of such means defines a norm (or a seminorm, in the case of the full Marcinkiewicz space) that makes the respective spaces complete. Part of this paper is a review of the topological vector space structure, inclusion relations, and convolution operators. Then we expand and improve the deep theory due to Lau of representation of continuous functional and extreme points of the unit balls, adapt these results to Stepanoff spaces, and present interesting examples of discontinuous functionals that depend only on asymptotic values

    Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis

    Full text link
    The present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
