P-regularity and weights for operators between Lp-spaces

We explore the connection between p-regular operators on Banach function spaces and weighted p-estimates. In particular, our results focus on the following problem. Given finite measure spaces µ and ν, let T be an operator defined from a Banach function space X(ν) and taking values on L(vdµ) for v in certain family of weights V ⊂ L(µ) we analyze the existence of a bounded family of weights W ⊂ L(ν) such that for every v ∈ V there is w ∈ W in such a way that T: L(wdν) → L(vdµ) is continuous uniformly on V. A condition for the existence of such a family is given in terms of p-regularity of the integration map associated to a certain vector measure induced by the operator T.E. A.

The pp-Daugavet property for function spaces

A natural extension of the Daugavet property for $p$-convex Banach function spaces and related classes is analysed. As an application, we extend the arguments given in the setting of the Daugavet property to show that no reflexive space falls into this class

Una aplicación didáctica de la modelización matemática: control de velocidad de vehículos en vías rurales

[EN] In this paper a didactic model for the control of the speed of the vehicles in a road is presented. Based on empirical assumptions, the model provides an answer to the problem of finding the best road from the point of view of the time that is needed for going from the top of a hill to a certain point in the valley under the assumption that certain restrictions for the speed are imposed. Thus, we construct a simple model for representing the time dependence of the traffic in a road as an exercise of mathematical modelling adequate for a basic level of a civil engineering career.[ES] En este artículo presentamos un modelo didáctico para el control de la velocidad de los vehículos en una carretera. Basado en supuestos empíricos, el modelo da una respuesta al problema de encontrar el mejor trazado de carretera desde el punto de vista del tiempo que se necesita para ir desde la cima de una colina a un cierto punto en el valle, respetando las limitaciones de velocidad necesarias. Así, construimos un modelo simple para representar la dependencia temporal del tráfico en una carretera como un ejercicio de modelización matemático para un nivel básico de una carrera de ingeniería civil.Juan, M.; Sánchez-Pérez, E.

Compactness properties of bounded subsets of spaces of vector measure integrable functions and factorization of operators

[EN] Using compactness properties of bounded subsets of spaces of vector measure integrable functions and a representation theorem for q-convex Banach lattices, we prove a domination theorem for operators between Banach lattices. We generalize in this way several classical factorization results for operators between these spaces, as psumming operators.The authors acknowledge the support of the Generalitat Valenciana, Spain, grant GV04B-371, the Spanish Ministry of Science and Technology, Plan Nacional I+D+I , grant BFM2003-02302; and the support of the Universidad Polit´ecnica de Valencia, under grant 2003-4114 for Interdisciplinary Research Projects.Garcia-Raffi, LM.; Sánchez-Pérez, E.

Multipole interaction between atoms and their photonic environment

Macroscopic field quantization is presented for a nondispersive photonic dielectric environment, both in the absence and presence of guest atoms. Starting with a minimal-coupling Lagrangian, a careful look at functional derivatives shows how to obtain Maxwell's equations before and after choosing a suitable gauge. A Hamiltonian is derived with a multipolar interaction between the guest atoms and the electromagnetic field. Canonical variables and fields are determined and in particular the field canonically conjugate to the vector potential is identified by functional differentiation as minus the full displacement field. An important result is that inside the dielectric a dipole couples to a field that is neither the (transverse) electric nor the macroscopic displacement field. The dielectric function is different from the bulk dielectric function at the position of the dipole, so that local-field effects must be taken into account.Comment: 17 pages, to be published in Physical Review

Factorization of strongly (p,sigma)-continuous multilinear operators

We introduce the new ideal of strongly-continuous linear operators in order to study the adjoints of the -absolutely continuous linear operators. Starting from this ideal we build a new multi-ideal by using the composition method. We prove the corresponding Pietsch domination theorem and we present a representation of this multi-ideal by a tensor norm. A factorization theorem characterizing the corresponding multi-ideal - which is also new for the linear case - is given. When applied to the case of the Cohen strongly -summing operators, this result gives also a new factorization theorem.D.

Absolutely continuous multilinear operators

We introduce the new class of the (p;p1,...,pm; s)-absolutely continuous operators, that is defined using a summability property that provides the multilinear version of the (p, s)-absolutely continuous operators. We give an analogue of the Pietsch domination theorem and a multilinear version of the associated factorization theorem that holds for (p, s)-absolutely continuous operators, obtaining in this way a rich factorization theory. We present also a tensor norm which represents this multi-ideal by trace duality. As an application, we show that (p; p1, . . . , pm; s)-absolutely continuous multilinear operators are compact under some requirements. Applications to factorization of linear maps on Banach function spaces through interpolation spaces are also given.EL-Hadj Dahia acknowledges with thanks the support of the Ministere de l'Enseignament Superieur et de la Recherche Scientifique (Algeria) under grant 555/PGRS/C.U.K.M.

Investigating the nutritional advice and support given to colorectal cancer survivors in the UK: is it fit for purpose and does it address their needs?

Background The present study assessed the quantity and quality of nutritional advice and support given to colorectal cancer survivors in the UK. Methods A descriptive cross‐sectional survey was completed by 75 colorectal cancer survivors recruited through social media and bowel cancer support groups in the UK. The survey consisted of open‐ended and closed questions that aimed to explore the nutritional needs, nutritional advice given and other sources of information accessed by colorectal cancer survivors. Results Sixty‐nine percent of respondents reported that they did not receive any nutritional advice or support from their healthcare team throughout diagnosis, treatment and post‐treatment. Colorectal cancer survivors accessed nutritional advice from a variety of sources, mainly cancer charity websites. Respondents expressed their desire for individualised advice relating to their nutritional problems. Conclusions The results obtained in the present study indicate that a high proportion of colorectal cancer patients are not receiving the nutritional support that they need to overcome nutritional difficulties. There is an urgent need to improve clinical practice to ensure colorectal patients receive nutritional advice that is both consistent between healthcare professionals and personalised throughout each stage of diagnosis, treatment and post‐treatment
