Non-local fractional derivatives. Discrete and continuous

We prove maximum and comparison principles for fractional discrete derivatives in the integers. Regularity results when the space is a mesh of length $h$, and approximation theorems to the continuous fractional derivatives are shown. When the functions are good enough, these approximation procedures give a measure of the order of approximation. These results also allows us to prove the coincidence, for good enough functions, of the Marchaud and Gr\"unwald-Letnikov derivatives in every point and the speed of convergence to the Gr\"unwald-Letnikov derivative. The fractional discrete derivative will be also described as a Neumann-Dirichlet operator defined by a semi-discrete extension problem. Some operators related to the Harmonic Analysis associated to the discrete derivative will be also considered, in particular their behavior in the Lebesgue spaces $\ell^p(\mathbb{Z}).

Discrete Hölder spaces and their characterization via semigroups associated with the discrete Laplacian and kernel estimates

In this paper, we characterize the discrete Hölder spaces by means of the heat and Poisson semigroups associated with the discrete Laplacian. These characterizations allow us to get regularity properties of fractional powers of the discrete Laplacian and the Bessel potentials along these spaces and also in the discrete Zygmund spaces in a more direct way than using the pointwise definition of the spaces. To obtain our results, it has been crucial to get boundedness properties of the heat and Poisson kernels and their derivatives in both space and time variables. We believe that these estimates are also of independent interest

The quasi-static plasmonic problem for polyhedra

We characterize the essential spectrum of the plasmonic problem for polyhedra in $\mathbb{R}^3$. The description is particularly simple for convex polyhedra and permittivities $\epsilon < - 1$. The plasmonic problem is interpreted as a spectral problem through a boundary integral operator, the direct value of the double layer potential, also known as the Neumann--Poincar\'e operator. We therefore study the spectral structure of the the double layer potential for polyhedral cones and polyhedra.Comment: 31 pages, 2 figure

Non-local fractional derivatives. Discrete and continuous

We prove maximum and comparison principles for the discrete fractional derivatives in the integers. Regularity results when the space is a mesh of length h, and approximation theorems to the continuous fractional derivatives are shown. When the functions are good enough (Hölder continuous), these approximation procedures give a measure of the order of approximation. These results also allow us to prove the coincidence, for Hölder continuous functions, of the Marchaud and Grünwald–Letnikov derivatives in every point and the speed of convergence to the Grünwald–Letnikov derivative. The discrete fractional derivative will be also described as a Neumann–Dirichlet operator defined by a semi-discrete extension problem. Some operators related to the Harmonic Analysis associated to the discrete derivative will be also considered, in particular their behavior in the Lebesgue spaces lp(Z)

In this paper we establish $L^p$-boundedness properties for variation operators defined by semigroups associated with Fourier-Bessel expansions

The Hardy-Littlewood property and maximal operators associated with the inverse Gauss measure

In this paper we characterize the Banach lattices with the Hardy-Littlewood property by using maximal operators defined by semigroups of operators associated with the inverse Gauss measure.Comment: 37 page
