A Remark on Isometries of Absolutely Continuous Spaces

The purpose of this article is to study the isometries between vector-valued absolutely continuous function spaces, over compact subsets of the real line. Indeed, under certain conditions, it is shown that such isometries can be represented as a weighted composition operator.

A new method of proof of Filippov’s theorem based on the viability theorem

Filippov’s theorem implies that, given an absolutely continuous function y: [t 0; T] → ℝd and a set-valued map F(t, x) measurable in t and l(t)-Lipschitz in x, for any initial condition x 0, there exists a solution x(·) to the differential inclusion x′(t) ∈ F(t, x(t)) starting from x 0 at the time t 0 and satisfying the estimation $$\left| {x(t) - y(t)} \right| \leqslant r(t) = \left| {x_0 - y(t_0 )} \right|e^{\int_{t_0 }^t {l(s)ds} } + \int_{t_0 }^t \gamma (s)e^{\int_s^t {l(\tau )d\tau } } ds,$$ where the function γ(·) is the estimation of dist(y′(t), F(t, y(t))) ≤ γ(t). Setting P(t) = {x ∈ ℝn: |x −y(t)| ≤ r(t)}, we may formulate the conclusion in Filippov’s theorem as x(t) ∈ P(t). We calculate the contingent derivative DP(t, x)(1) and verify the tangential condition F(t, x) ∩ DP(t, x)(1) ≠ ø. It allows to obtain Filippov’s theorem from a viability result for tubes.

Fractional derivatives in spaces of generalized functions

We generalize the two forms of the fractional derivatives (in Riemann-Liouville and Caputo sense) to spaces of generalized functions using appropriate techniques such as the multiplication of absolutely continuous function by the Heaviside function, and the analytical continuation. As an application, we give the two forms of the fractional derivatives of discontinuous functions in spaces of distributions.

Wirtinger's Inequalities on Time Scales

This paper is devoted to the study of Wirtinger-type inequalities for the Lebesgue Δ-integral on an arbitrary time scale 𝕋. We prove a general inequality for a class of absolutely continuous functions on closed subintervals of an adequate subset of 𝕋. By using this expression and by assuming that 𝕋 is bounded, we deduce that a general inequality is valid for every absolutely continuous function on 𝕋 such that its Δ-derivative belongs to([a,b) ∩ 𝕋) and at most it vanishes on the boundary of 𝕋.
