Let K be a bounded, open convex set in euclidean n-space Rn, symmetric in the origin 0. Further let L be a lattice in Rn containing 0 and put extended over all positive real numbers ui for which uiK contains i linearly independent points of L. Denote the Jordan content of K by V(K) and the determinant of L by d(L). Minkowski's second inequality in the geometry of numbers states that Minkowski's original proof has been simplified by Weyl [6] and Cassels [7] and a different proof hasbeen given by Davenport [1].

The main object of this paper is to prove the following:Theorem. Let f1, … ,fk be linearly independent continuous functions on a compact space. Then for 1 ≤ s ≤ k there exist real numbers aij, 1 ≤ i ≤ s, 1 ≤ j ≤ k, with {aij, 1 ≤ i, j ≤ s} n-singular, and a discrete probability measure ε*on, such that(a) the functions gi = Σj=1kaijfj 1 ≤ i ≤ s, are orthonormal (ε*) to the fj for s < j ≤ k;(b)The result in the case s = k was first proved in (2). The result when s < k, which because of the orthogonality condition of (a) is more general than that when s = k, was proved in (1) under a restriction which will be discussed in § 3. The present proof does not require this ad hoc restriction, and is more direct in approach than the method of (2) (although involving as much technical detail as the latter in the case when the latter applies).

Consider the first-order retarded differential equation $$\begin{eqnarray}x^{\prime }(t)+p(t)x({\it\tau}(t))=0,\quad t\geqslant t_{0},\end{eqnarray}$$ where $p(t)\geqslant 0$ and ${\it\tau}(t)$ is a function of positive real numbers such that ${\it\tau}(t)\leqslant t$ for $t\geqslant t_{0}$, and $\lim _{t\rightarrow \infty }{\it\tau}(t)=\infty$. Under the assumption that the retarded argument is non-monotone, a new oscillation criterion, involving $\liminf$, is established when the well-known oscillation condition $$\begin{eqnarray}\liminf _{t\rightarrow \infty }\int _{{\it\tau}(t)}^{t}p(s)\,ds>\frac{1}{e}\end{eqnarray}$$ is not satisfied. An example illustrating the result is also given.

Let E be a Banach space. The averaging interval AI(E) is defined as the set of positive real numbers α, with the following property: For each n ∈ ℕ and for all (not necessarily distinct) x1, x2, … xn ∈ E with ∥x1∥ = ∥x2∥ = … = ∥xn∥ = 1, there is an x ∈ E, ∥x∥ = 1, such thatIt follows immediately, that AI(E) is a (perhaps empty) interval included in the closed interval [1,2]. For example in this paper it is shown that AI(E) = {α} for some 1 < α < 2, if E has finite dimension. Furthermore a complete discussion of AI(C(X)) is given, where C(X) denotes the Banach space of real valued continuous functions on a compact Hausdorff space X. Also a Banach space E is found, such that AI(E) = [1,2].

Ulam Stability Problem

Let$G$be a commutative group and$\mathbb{C}$the field of complex numbers,$\mathbb{R}^{+}$the set of positive real numbers and$f,g,h,k:G\times \mathbb{R}^{+}\rightarrow \mathbb{C}$. In this paper, we first consider the Levi-Civitá functional inequality$$\begin{eqnarray}\displaystyle |f(x+y,t+s)-g(x,t)h(y,s)-k(y,s)|\leq {\rm\Phi}(t,s),\quad x,y\in G,t,s>0, & & \displaystyle \nonumber\end{eqnarray}$$where${\rm\Phi}:\mathbb{R}^{+}\times \mathbb{R}^{+}\rightarrow \mathbb{R}^{+}$is a symmetric decreasing function in the sense that${\rm\Phi}(t_{2},s_{2})\leq {\rm\Phi}(t_{1},s_{1})$for all$0<t_{1}\leq t_{2}$and$0<s_{1}\leq s_{2}$. As an application, we solve the Hyers–Ulam stability problem of the Levi-Civitá functional equation$$\begin{eqnarray}\displaystyle u\circ S-v\otimes w-k\circ {\rm\Pi}\in {\mathcal{D}}_{L^{\infty }}^{\prime }(\mathbb{R}^{2n})\quad [\text{respectively}\;{\mathcal{A}}_{L^{\infty }}^{\prime }(\mathbb{R}^{2n})] & & \displaystyle \nonumber\end{eqnarray}$$in the space of Gelfand hyperfunctions, where$u,v,w,k$are Gelfand hyperfunctions,$S(x,y)=x+y,{\rm\Pi}(x,y)=y,x,y\in \mathbb{R}^{n}$, and$\circ$,$\otimes$,${\mathcal{D}}_{L^{\infty }}^{\prime }(\mathbb{R}^{2n})$and${\mathcal{A}}_{L^{\infty }}^{\prime }(\mathbb{R}^{2n})$denote pullback, tensor product and the spaces of bounded distributions and bounded hyperfunctions, respectively.

If A = (am, n) is a regular matrix, then for any sequence x = {xn}, Am(x) will denote the transform and A-lim x denotes if that limit exists. We shall denote by the set of bounded sequences which are summed by A. If B is another regular matrix with then we say that B is b-stronger than A. In that case B must be b-consistent with A (see (4) and (6)), i.e. if thenIf {μn} is a sequence of positive real numbers with we say that A and B are (μn)-consistent if every sequencer x = {xn} satisfying xn = 0(μn) which is summed by both A and B is summed to the same value by both matrices. A finite set of matrices A1, A2, …, AN is said to be simultaneously (μn)-inconsistent (b-consistent) if whenever is summed by Ai with (i = l, 2, …, N) then implies that The set of sequences, is denoted by

Let G be a locally compact abelian group, with character group Ĝ. Let ψ be an arbitrary continuous real-valued homomorphism defined on Ĝ. For f in LP(G), 1 < p ≤ 2, letwhere 1[−ν, ν] is the indicator function of the interval [ − ν, ν ], and I is an unbounded increasing sequence of positive real numbers. Then there is a constant Mp, independent of f, such that ‖M#f‖p ≤ Mp ‖f‖p. Consequently, the pointwise limit of the function exists, almost everywhere on G, as ν tends to infinity. Using this result and a generalised version of Riesz's theorem on conjugate functions, we obtain a pointwise inversion for Fourier transforms of functions on Ra × Tb, where a and b are nonnegative integers, and on various other locally compact abelian groups.
