We give a collection of 16 examples which show that compositions \(g\) \(\circ\) \(f\) of well-behaved functions \(f\) and \(g\) can be badly behaved. Remarkably, in 10 of the 16 examples it suffices to take as outer function \(g\) simply a power-type or characteristic function. Such a collection of examples may serve as a source of exercises for a calculus course.
In this note, we give a sufficient condition for the existence of Hölder-type solutions to a class of fractional initial value problems involving Caputo derivatives. Since imposing (classical or general) global Lipschitz conditions on the nonlinear operators involved leads to degeneracy phenomena, the main emphasis is put on local Lipschitz conditions or fixed point principles of Schauder and Darbo type. To this end, we study continuity and boundedness conditions for linear Riemann-Liouville operators and nonlinear Nemytskij operators in Hölder spaces of integral type which have much better properties than classical Hölder spaces.
Functions of bounded variation are most important in many fields of mathematics. This thesis investigates spaces of functions of bounded variation with one variable of various types, compares them to other classical function spaces and reveals natural “habitats” of BV-functions. New and almost comprehensive results concerning mapping properties like surjectivity and injectivity, several kinds of continuity and compactness of both linear and nonlinear operators between such spaces are given. A new theory about different types of convergence of sequences of such operators is presented in full detail and applied to a new proof for the continuity of the composition operator in the classical BV-space. The abstract results serve as ingredients to solve Hammerstein and Volterra integral equations using fixed point theory. Many criteria guaranteeing the existence and uniqueness of solutions in BV-type spaces are given and later applied to solve boundary and initial value problems in a nonclassical setting.
A big emphasis is put on a clear and detailed discussion. Many pictures and synoptic tables help to visualize and summarize the most important ideas. Over 160 examples and counterexamples illustrate the many abstract results and how delicate some of them are.
