Carathéodory operator of differential forms (Q357671): Difference between revisions

The article deals with some generalizations of results about the superposition operator \(T(\omega)(x) = f(x,\omega(x))\) (\(f(x,\omega):\;\Omega \times {\mathbb R} \to {\mathbb R}\)) between function spaces with values in \({\mathbb R}\) to the case of operators between function spaces whose values are differential forms. More exactly, the authors consider the operator generated by the function \(f:\;\Omega \times \wedge^l \to \wedge^l\), where \(\Omega\) is an open set in \({\mathbb R}^N\), \(\wedge^l\) the space of differential \(l\)-forms over \({\mathbb R}^N\); this operator is defined by the formula \[ T\omega(s) = \sum_I f_I(s,\omega) \, dx_I \qquad \bigg(\omega = \sum_I \omega_I(x) \, dx_I\bigg).\tag{*} \] The main results are: (1) an analogue of the Carathéodory theorem about the continuity of \(T\) with respect to the convergence in measure, (2) an analogue of the Krasnosel'skij theorems about the conditions under which \(T\) is an operator between \(L^{p_1}\) and \(L^{p_2}\) and continuity and boundedness of \(T\) between these spaces. Reviewer's remark. The definition (*) is not completely clear; if \(f_I(s,\omega)\) means \(f_I(x,\ldots,\omega_I(x),\ldots)\), then the authors' results are vector analogues of the Carathéodory and Krasnosel'skij theorems and well-known.
