For a positive integer \(m\) and a finite non-negative Borel measure \(\mu\) on the unit circle, we study the Hadamard multipliers of higher order weighted Dirichlet-type spaces \(\mathcal H_{\mu, m}\). We show that if \(\alpha\gt\frac{1}{2}\), then for any \(f\) in \(\mathcal H_{\mu, m}\) the sequence of generalized Cesaro sums \(\{\sigma_n^{\alpha}[f]\}\) converges to \(f\). We further show that if \(\alpha=\frac{1}{2}\) then for the Dirac delta measure supported at any point on the unit circle, the previous statement breaks down for every positive integer \(m\).

In this paper, we consider, and make precise, a certain extension of the Radon-Nikodym derivative operator, to functions which are additive, but not necessarily sigma-additive, on a subset of a given sigma-algebra. We give applications to probability theory; in particular, to the study of \(\mu\)-Brownian motion, to stochastic calculus via generalized It�-integrals, and their adjoints (in the form of generalized stochastic derivatives), to systems of transition probability operators indexed by families of measures \(\mu\), and to adjoints of composition operators.

We prove uniqueness of positive solutions for the problem \[-\Delta_{p}u=\lambda f(u)\text{ in }\Omega,\ u=0\text{ on }\partial \Omega,\] where \(1\lt p\lt 2\) and \(p\) is close to 2, \(\Omega\) is bounded domain in \(\mathbb{R}^{n}\) with smooth boundary \(\partial \Omega\), \(f:[0,\infty)\rightarrow [0,\infty )\) with \(f(z)\sim z^{\beta }\) at \(\infty\) for some \(\beta \in (0,1)\), and \(\lambda\) is a large parameter. The monotonicity assumption on \(f\) is not required even for \(u\) large.

This article is devoted to deduce the expression of the Green's function related to a general constant coefficients fractional difference equation coupled to Dirichlet conditions. In this case, due to the points where some of the fractional operators are applied, we are in presence of an implicit fractional difference equation. So, due to such a property, it is more complicated to calculate and manage the expression of the Green's function than in the explicit case studied in a previous work of the authors. Contrary to the explicit case, where it is shown that the Green's function is constructed as finite sums, the Green's function constructed here is an infinite series. This fact makes necessary to impose more restrictive assumptions on the parameters that appear in the equation. The expression of the Green's function will be deduced from the Laplace transform on the time scales of the integers. We point out that, despite the implicit character of the considered equation, we can have an explicit expression of the solution by means of the expression of the Green's function. These two facts are not incompatible. Even more, this method allows us to have an explicit expression of the solution of an implicit problem. Finally, we prove two existence results for nonlinear problems, via suitable fixed point theorems.

We generalize certain well known orthogonal decompositions of model spaces and obtain similar decompositions for the wider class of shifted model spaces, allowing us to establish conditions for near invariance of the latter with respect to certain operators which include, as a particular case, the backward shift \(S^*\). In doing so, we illustrate the usefulness of obtaining appropriate decompositions and, in connection with this, we prove some results on model spaces which are of independent interest. We show moreover how the invariance properties of the kernel of an operator \(T\), with respect to another operator, follow from certain commutation relations between the two operators involved.

The occasion for this survey article was the 70th birthday of Jan Stochel, professor at Jagiellonian University, former head of the Chair of Functional Analysis and a prominent member of the Krak�w school of operator theory. In the course of his mathematical career, he has dealt, among other things, with various aspects of functional analysis, single and multivariable operator theory, the theory of moments, the theory of orthogonal polynomials, the theory of reproducing kernel Hilbert spaces, and mathematical aspects of quantum mechanics.
