Theory of control of “catastrophes” (Q4232298)

Let \(1<p\leq q<\infty\), \(Q\) is either \(\mathbb R^{n}\) or the unit cube in \( \mathbb R^{n}\), and \[ Tf(y)=\int_{Q}T(x,y)f(x)dx \] be an integral operator from \(L_{p}(Q)\) into \(L_{q}(Q)\). The authors study the influence of the distribution of the sanguinities of the kernel \(T(x,y)\) on the value of the norm \(\| T\| _{L_{2}\rightarrow L_{2}}\) and the spectral radius of the operator \(T\). The author obtains new estimates of the norm of the integral operator \(T\) in Lorentz and Lebesgue spaces. Some problems of minimization of the norm of \(T\) are considered in the paper.
