The Jordan decomposition states that a function f : R → R is of bounded variation if and only if it can be written as the difference of two monotone increasing functions. In this paper we generalize this property to real valued BV functions of many variables, extending naturally the concept of monotone function. Our result is an extension of a result obtained by Alberti, Bianchini and Crippa. A...

We show that for every Lebesgue measurable function f : [0, 1] → R there exists a compact set C of Hausdorff dimension 1/2 such that f is of bounded variation on C, and there exist compact sets Cα of Hausdorff dimension 1−α such that f is Hölder-α on Cα (0 < α < 1). These answer questions of M. Elekes, which were open even for continuous functions f . Our proof goes by defining a discrete Hausd...

A major obstacle in extending the theory of well-bounded operators to cover operators whose spectrum is not necessarily real has been the lack of a suitable variation norm applicable to functions defined on an arbitrary nonempty compact subset σ of the plane. In this paper we define a new Banach algebra BV (σ) of functions of bounded variation on such a set and show that the function theoretic ...

(i) The integral of a non-negative extended real-valued measurabele function f on R d is given by R d f (x)dx = sup g R d g(x)dx where the supremum is taken over all bounded functions 0 ≤ g ≤ f which are bounded and supported on a set of finite measure. (ii) First suppose α < −n, and define a strictly decreasing sequence x m 0. We define step functions g n as follows. Define the sets A m = B xm...

Combining rearrangement techniques with Gromov’s proof (via optimal mass transportation) of the 1-Sobolev inequality, we prove a sharp quantitative version of the anisotropic Sobolev inequality on BV (R). As a corollary of this result, we also deduce a sharp stability estimate for the anisotropic 1-log-Sobolev inequality.

Abstract. A lower bound on the misclassification probability for a finite number of classes is obtained in terms of the total variation norms of the differences between the sub-distributions over the classes. This bound, which is shown to be exact in a certain rather strong sense, is based on an exact upper bound on the difference between the maximum and the mean of a finite set of real numbers...

We introduce the Bounded Axiom A Forcing Axiom(BAAFA). It turns out that it is equiconsistent with the existence of a regular Σ2-correct cardinal and hence also equiconsistent with BPFA. Furthermore we show that, if consistent, it does not imply the Bounded Proper Forcing Axiom(BPFA).

In this paper, we discuss some properties of joint spectral {radius(jsr)} and  generalized spectral radius(gsr)  for a finite set of upper triangular matrices with entries in a Banach algebra and represent relation between geometric and joint/generalized spectral radius. Some of these are in scalar matrices, but  some are different. For example for a bounded set of scalar matrices,$Sigma$, $r_*...

This paper shows that realised power variation and its extension called realised bipower variation that we introduce here is somewhat robust to rare jumps. We demonstrate that in special cases realised bipower variation estimate integrated variance in stochastic volatility models, thus providing a model free and consistent alternative to realised variance. Its robustness property means that if ...
