Elton's near unconditionality and quasi-greediness for largest coefficients are two properties of bases that made their appearance in functional analysis from very different areas of research. One of our aims in this note is to show that, oddly enough, they are connected to the extent that they are equivalent notions. We take advantage of this new description of the former property to further the study of the threshold function associated with near unconditionality. Finally, we make a contribution to the isometric theory of greedy bases by characterizing those bases that are 1-quasi-greedy for largest coefficients., F.

In nonlinear greedy approximation theory, bidemocratic bases have traditionally played the role of dualizing democratic, greedy, quasi-greedy, or almost greedy bases. In this article we shift the viewpoint and study them for their own sake, just as we would with any other kind of greedy-type bases. In particular we show that bidemocratic bases need not be quasi-greedy, despite the fact that they retain a strong unconditionality flavor which brings them very close to being quasi-greedy. Our constructive approach gives that for each 1 < p < infinity the space L-p has a bidemocratic basis which is not quasi-greedy. We also present a novel method for constructing conditional quasi-greedy bases which are bidemocratic, and provide a characterization of bidemocratic bases in terms of the new concepts of truncation quasi-greediness and partially demo-cratic bases., F.

Our goal in this paper is to advance the state of the art of
the topic of uniqueness of unconditional basis. To that end
we establish general conditions on a pair (X, Y) formed by a
quasi-Banach space X and a Banach space Y which guarantee that every unconditional basis of their direct sum X ⊕ Y
splits into unconditional bases of each summand. As application of our methods we obtain that, among others, the spaces
Hp(Td) ⊕ T (2) and Hp(Td) ⊕ 2, for p ∈ (0, 1) and d ∈ N,
have a unique unconditional basis (up to equivalence and permutation)., F.

We find general conditions under which Lipschitz-free spaces over metric spaces are isomorphic to their infinite direct _1-sum and exhibit several applications. As examples of such applications we have that Lipschitz-free spaces over balls and spheres of the same finite dimensions are isomorphic, that the Lipschitz-free space over Zd is isomorphic to its _1-sum, or that the Lipschitz-free space over any snowflake of a doubling metric space is isomorphic to l1. Moreover, following new ideas of Bruè et al. from [J. Funct. Anal. 280 (2021), pp. 108868, 21] we provide an elementary self-contained proof that Lipschitz-free spaces over doubling metric spaces are complemented in Lipschitz-free spaces over their superspaces and they have BAP. Everything, including the results about doubling metric spaces, is explored in the more comprehensive setting of p-Banach spaces, which allows us to appreciate the similarities and differences of the theory between the cases p < 1 and p = 1., The first author acknowledges the support of the Spanish Ministry for Science and Innovation under Grant PID2019-107701GB-I00 for Operators, lattices, and structure of Banach spaces and the support of the Spanish Ministry for Science, Innovation, and Universities under Grant PGC2018-095366-B-I00 for Análisis Vectorial, Multilineal y Aproximación.

We provide a new extension of Pitt’s theorem for compact operators between quasi-Banach lattices which permits to describe unconditional bases of finite direct sums of Banach spaces X1 · · · Xn as direct sums of unconditional bases of their summands. The general splitting principle we obtain yields, in particular, that if each Xi has a unique unconditional basis (up to equivalence and permutation), then X1 · · · Xn has a unique unconditional basis too. Among the novel applications of our techniques to the structure of Banach and quasi-Banach spaces we have that the space ℓ2⊕T(2) has a unique unconditional basis., F.

We prove that if the squares of two unconditional bases are equivalent up to a permutation, then the bases themselves are permutatively equivalent. This settles a twenty-five year-old question raised by Casazza and Kalton in [13]. Solving this problem provides a new paradigm to study the uniqueness of unconditional basis in the general framework of quasi-Banach spaces. Multiple examples are given to illustrate how to put in practice this theoretical scheme. Among the main applications of this principle we obtain the uniqueness of unconditional basis up to permutation of finite sums of spaces with this property, as well as the first addition to the scant list of the known Banach spaces with a unique unconditional bases up to permutation since [14]., Both authors supported by the Spanish Ministry for Science, Innovation, and Universities, Grant PGC2018-095366-B-I00 for Análisis Vectorial, Multilineal y Approximación.

The purpose of this paper is to quantify the size of the Lebesgue constants (𝑳𝑚)∞
𝑚=1 associated with the thresholding
greedy algorithm in terms of a new generation of parameters that modulate accurately some features of a general
basis. This fine tuning of constants allows us to provide an answer to the question raised by Temlyakov in 2011 to
find a natural sequence of greedy-type parameters for arbitrary bases in Banach (or quasi-Banach) spaces which
combined linearly with the sequence of unconditionality parameters (𝒌𝑚)∞
𝑚=1 determines the growth of (𝑳𝑚)∞
𝑚=1.

Certain algebra norms on the algebra of functions on a two-point set are defined and used to construct a new family of parametric algebra norms on the space CC(K) of continuous complex-valued functions on a compact Hausdorff space. As a by-product of our work we transfer our construction to uniform algebras to obtain a new collection of norms with special properties., The research of F. Albiac and O.

We continue the study initiated in Albiac and Wojtaszczyk (2006) of properties related to greedy bases in the case when the constants involved are sharp, i.e., in the case when they are equal to 1. Our main goal here is to provide an example of a Banach space with a basis that satisfies Property (A) but fails to be 1-suppression unconditional, thus settling Problem 4.4 from Albiac and Ansorena (2017). In particular, our construction demonstrates that bases with Property (A) need not be 1-greedy even with the additional assumption that they are unconditional and symmetric. We also exhibit a finite-dimensional counterpart of this example, and show that, at least in the finite-dimensional setting, Property (A) does not pass to the dual. As a by-product of our arguments, we prove that a symmetric basis is unconditional if and only if it is total, thus generalizing the well-known result that symmetric Schauder bases are unconditional., The research of F.

The general problem addressed in this work is the development of a systematic study of the thresholding greedy algorithm for general biorthogonal systems in quasi-Banach spaces from a functional-analytic point of view. If (Formula Presented) is a biorthogonal system in X then for each x ∈ X we have a formal expansion (Formula Presented). The thresholding greedy algorithm (with threshold ε > 0) applied to x is formally defined as (Formula Presented). The properties of this operator give rise to the different classes of greedy-type bases. We revisit the concepts of greedy, quasi-greedy, and almost greedy bases in this comprehensive framework and provide the (non-trivial) extensions of the corresponding characterizations of those types of bases. As a by-product of our work, new properties arise, and the relations among them are carefully discussed., F.

Addendum en https://hdl.handle.net/2454/45133, This paper is devoted to providing a unifying approach to the study of the uniqueness of unconditional bases, up to equivalence and permutation, of infinite direct sums of quasi-Banach spaces. Our new approach to this type of problem permits to show that a wide class of vector-valued sequence spaces have a unique unconditional basis up to a permutation. In particular, solving a problem from Albiac and Leránoz (J Math Anal Appl 374(2):394-401, 2011. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jmaa.2010.09.048) we show that if X is quasi-Banach space with a strongly absolute unconditional basis then the infinite direct sum -1(X) has a unique unconditional basis up to a permutation, even without knowing whether X has a unique unconditional basis or not. Applications to the uniqueness of unconditional structure of infinite direct sums of non-locally convex Orlicz and Lorentz sequence spaces, among other classical spaces, are also obtained as a by-product of our work., F.

We investigate a way to turn an arbitrary (usually, unbounded) metric space M into a bounded metric space B in such a way that the corresponding Lipschitz-free spaces F(M) and F(B) are isomorphic. The construction we provide is functorial in a weak sense and has the advantage of being explicit. Apart from its intrinsic theoretical interest, it has many applications in that it allows to transfer many arguments valid for Lipschitz-free spaces over bounded spaces to Lipschitz-free spaces over unbounded spaces. Furthermore, we show that with a slightly modified pointwise multiplication, the space Lip(0)(M) of scalar-valued Lipschitz functions vanishing at zero over any (unbounded) pointed metric space is a Banach algebra with its canonical Lipschitz norm., This work was supported by the Spanish Ministry for Science and Innovation [PID2019-107701GBI00 for Operators, lattices, and structure of Banach spaces to F.A.]; the Spanish Ministry for Science, Innovation, and Universities [PGC2018-095366-B-I00 for Analisis Vectorial, Multilineal, y Aproximacion to F.A. and J.L.A.]; the Charles University Research program [UNCE/SCI/023 to M.C.]; and the GAC.

Our aim in this article is to contribute to the theory of Lipschitz free p-spaces for 0 < p ≤ 1 over the Euclidean spaces Rd and Zd. To that end, on one hand we show that Fp(Rd) admits a Schauder basis for every p ∈ 2 (0, 1], thus generalizing the corresponding result for the case p = 1 by H_ajek and Perneck_a [20, Theorem 3.1] and answering in the positive a question that was raised in [3]. Explicit formulas for the bases of both Fp(Rd) and its isomorphic space Fp([0, 1]d) are given. On the other hand we show that the well-known fact that F(Z) is isomorphic to l1 does not extend to the case when p < 1, that is, Fp(Z) is not isomorphic to lp when 0 < p < 1., F.

One of the main results of the article Gelfand theory for real Banach algebras, recently published in [Rev R Acad Cienc Exactas Fís Nat Ser A Mat RACSAM 114(4):163, 2020] is Proposition 4.1, which establishes that the norm inequality ||a2||≤ ||a2+ b2|| for a, b∈ A is sufficient for a commutative real Banach algebra A with a unit to be isomorphic to the space CR(K) of continuous real-valued functions on a compact Hausdorff space K. Moreover, in this proposition is also shown that if the above condition (which involves all the operations of the algebra) holds, then the real-algebra isomorphism given by the Gelfand transform preserves the norm of squares. A very natural question springing from the above-mentioned result is whether an isomorphism of A onto CR(K) is always norm-preserving of squares. This note is devoted to providing a negative answer to this problem. To that end, we construct algebra norms on spaces CR(K) which are (1 + ϵ) -equivalent to the sup-norm and with the norm of the identity function equal to 1, where the norm of every nonconstant function is different from the standard sup-norm. We also provide examples of two-dimensional normed real algebras A where ||a2|| ≤ k|| a2+ b2|| for all a, b∈ A, for some k>1 , but the inequality fails for k= 1., The first two authors acknowledge the support from the Spanish Ministry for Science, Innovation, and Universities under Grant PGC2018-095366-B-I00 for Análisis Vectorial, Multilineal y Aproximación.

The list of known Banach spaces whose linear geometry determines the (nonlinear) democracy functions of their quasi-greedy bases to the extent that they end up being democratic, reduces to c0, ℓ2, and all separable L1-spaces. Oddly enough, these are the only Banach spaces that, when they have an unconditional basis, it is unique. Our aim in this paper is to study the connection between quasi-greediness and democracy of bases in non-locally convex spaces. We prove that all quasi-greedy bases in ℓp for 0<p<1 (which also has a unique unconditional basis) are democratic with fundamental function of the same order as (m1/p)∞m=1. The methods we develop allow us to obtain even more, namely that the same occurs in any separable Lp-space, 0<p<1, with the bounded approximation property., F.

We study a new class of bases, weaker than quasi-greedy bases, which retain their unconditionality properties and can provide the same optimality for the thresholding greedy algorithm. We measure how far these bases are from being unconditional and use this concept to give a new characterization of nearly unconditional bases., F.

We show how to construct non-locally convex quasi-Banach spaces X whose dual separates the points of a dense subspace of X but does not separate the points of X. Our examples connect with a question raised by Pietsch (Rev Mat Complut 22(1):209-226, 2009) and shed light into the unexplored class of quasi-Banach spaces with nontrivial dual which do not have sufficiently many functionals to separate the points of the space., Fernando Albiac acknowledges the support of the Spanish Ministry for Economy and Competitivity under Grant MTM2016-76808-P and the Spanish Ministry for Science and Innovation under Grant PID2019-107701GB-I00 for Operators, lattices, and structure of Banach spaces.

We prove that the sequence spaces lp ⊕ lq and the spaces of infinite matrices lp(lq ), lq l(p) and ( ∞ n=1 n lp)lq , which are isomorphic to certain Besov spaces, have an almost greedy basis whenever 0 < p < 1 < q < ∞. More precisely, we custom-build almost greedy bases in such a way that the Lebesgue parameters grow in a prescribed manner. Our arguments critically depend on the extension of the Dilworth–Kalton– Kutzarova method from Dilworth et al. (Stud Math 159(1):67–101, 2003), which was originally designed for constructing almost greedy bases in Banach spaces, to make it valid for direct sums of mixed-normed spaces with nonlocally convex components. Additionally, we prove that the fundamental functions of all almost greedy bases of these spaces grow as (ml/q )∞ m=l., Open Access funding provided by Universidad Pública de Navarra. F.

We show that every unconditional basis in a finite direct sum ⊕p∈Aℓp , with A ⊂ (0,∞], splits into unconditional bases of each summand. This settles a 40 years old question raised in 'A. Ortyński, Unconditional bases in ℓp ⊕ ℓq, 0< p < q <1, Math. Nachr. 103 (1981), 109–116'. As an application we obtain that for any A ⊂ (0,1] finite, the spaces Z = ⊕p∈A ℓp,Z ⊕ ℓ2, and Z ⊕ c0 have a unique unconditional basis up to permutation., Both authors were supported by the Spanish Ministry for Science, Innovation, and Universities, Grant PGC2018-095366-B-I00 for ‘Análisis Vectorial, Multilineal y Approximación’.
