The Exponential Matrix: an explicit formula by an elementary method

Abstract

We show an explicit formula, with a quite easy deduction, for the exponential matrix $e^{tA}$ of a real square matrix $A$ of order $n\times n$. The elementary method developed requires neither Jordan canonical form, nor eigenvectors, nor resolution of linear systems of differential equations, nor resolution of linear systems with constant coefficients, nor matrix inversion, nor complex integration, nor functional analysis. The basic tools are power series and the method of partial fraction decomposition. Two examples are given. A proof of one well-known stability result is given.

Weighted inequalities in ergodic theory via transference

We first extend Calderón's transfer principle to weighted spaces in various different settings under suitable assumptions. Then we apply our results for some inequalities on the real line obtained by the author to prove corresponding inequalities in ergodic theory and ergodic $H^1$ spaces as well.

Wavelet resolution and Sobolev regularity of Calderón-Zygmund operators on domains

Given a uniform domain $Ω\subset {\mathbb R}^d$, we resolve each element of a suitably defined class of Calderòn-Zygmund (CZ) singular integrals on $Ω$ as the linear combination of Triebel wavelet operators and paraproduct terms. Our resolution formula entails a testing type characterization, loosely in the vein of the David-Journé theorem, of weighted Sobolev space bounds in terms of Triebel-Lizorkin and tree Carleson measure norms of the paraproduct symbols, which is new already in the case $Ω={\mathbb R}^d$ with Lebesgue measure. Our characterization covers the case of compressions to $Ω$ of global CZ operators, extending and sharpening past results of Prats and Tolsa for the convolution case. The weighted estimates we obtain, particularized to the Beurling operator on a Lipschitz domain with normal to the boundary in the corresponding sharp Besov class, may be used to deduce quantitative estimates for quasiregular mappings with dilatation in the Sobolev space $W^{1,p}(Ω)$, $p>2$.
