Cette thèse porte sur la modélisation, l'analyse théorique et l'implémentation numérique d'algorithmes d'optimisation pour la résolution de problèmes inverses d'imagerie (par exemple, la reconstruction d'images en tomographie et la déconvolution d'images en microscopie) dans des espaces de Banach non standard. Elle est divisée en deux parties: dans la première, nous considérons le cadre des espaces de Lebesgue à exposant variable L^{p(cdot)} afin d'améliorer l'adaptabilité de la solution par rapport aux reconstructions obtenues dans le cas standard d'espaces d'Hilbert; dans la deuxième partie, nous considérons une modélisation dans l'espace des mesures de Radon pour éviter les biais dus à la discrétisation observés dans les méthodes de régularisation parcimonieuse. Plus en détail, la première partie explore à la fois des algorithmes d'optimisation lisse et non lisse dans les espaces L^{p(cdot)} réflexifs, qui sont des espaces de Banach dotés de la norme dite de Luxemburg. Comme premier résultat, nous fournissons une expression des cartes de dualité dans ces espaces, qui sont un ingrédient essentiel pour la conception d'algorithmes itératifs efficaces. Pour surmonter la non-séparabilité de la norme sous-jacente et les temps de calcul conséquents, nous étudions ensuite la classe des fonctions modulaires qui étendent directement la puissance (non homogène) p > 1 des normes L^p au cadre L^{p(cdot)}. En termes de fonctions modulaires, nous formulons des analogues des cartes duales qui sont plus adaptées aux algorithmes d'optimisation lisse et non lisse en raison de leur séparabilité. Nous étudions alors des algorithmes de descente de gradient (à la fois déterministes et stochastiques) basés sur les fonctions modulaires, ainsi que des algorithmes modulaires de gradient proximal dans L^{p(cdot)}, dont nous prouvons la convergence en termes des valeurs de la fonctionnelle. La flexibilité de ces espaces s'avère particulièrement avantageuse pour la modélisation de la parcimonie et les statistiques hétérogènes du signal/bruit, tout en restant efficace et stable d'un point de vue de l'optimisation. Nous validons cela numériquement de manière approfondie sur des problèmes inverses exemplaires en une/deux dimension(s) (déconvolution, débruitage mixte, tomographie). La deuxième partie de la thèse se concentre sur la formulation des problèmes inverses avec un bruit de Poisson formulés dans l'espace des mesures de Radon. Notre contribution consiste en la modélisation d'un modèle variationnel qui couple un terme de données de divergence de Kullback-Leibler avec la régularisation de la Variation Totale de la mesure souhaitée (une somme pondérée de Diracs) et une contrainte de non-négativité. Nous proposons une étude détaillée des conditions d'optimalité et du problème dual correspondant. Nous considérons une version améliorée de l'algorithme de Sliding Franke-Wolfe pour calculer la solution numérique du problème de manière efficace. Pour limiter la dépendance des résultats du choix du paramètre de régularisation, nous considérons une stratégie d'homotopie pour son ajustement automatique où à chaque itération algorithmique, on vérifie si un critère d'arrêt défini en termes du niveau de bruit est vérifié et on met à jour le paramètre de régularisation en conséquence. Plusieurs expériences numériques sont rapportées à la fois sur des données de microscopie de fluorescence simulées en 1D/2D et réelles en 3D
This thesis focuses on the modelling, the theoretical analysis and the numerical implementation of advanced optimisation algorithms for imaging inverse problems (e.g,., image reconstruction in computed tomography, image deconvolution in microscopy imaging) in non-standard Banach spaces. It is divided into two parts: in the former, the setting of Lebesgue spaces with a variable exponent map L^{p(cdot)} is considered to improve adaptivity of the solution with respect to standard Hilbert reconstructions; in the latter a modelling in the space of Radon measures is used to avoid the biases observed in sparse regularisation methods due to discretisation.In more detail, the first part explores both smooth and non-smooth optimisation algorithms in reflexive L^{p(cdot)} spaces, which are Banach spaces endowed with the so-called Luxemburg norm. As a first result, we provide an expression of the duality maps in those spaces, which are an essential ingredient for the design of effective iterative algorithms.To overcome the non-separability of the underlying norm and the consequent heavy computation times, we then study the class of modular functionals which directly extend the (non-homogeneous) p-power of L^p-norms to the general L^{p(cdot)}. In terms of the modular functions, we formulate handy analogues of duality maps, which are amenable for both smooth and non-smooth optimisation algorithms due to their separability. We thus study modular-based gradient descent (both in deterministic and in a stochastic setting) and modular-based proximal gradient algorithms in L^{p(cdot)}, and prove their convergence in function values. The spatial flexibility of such spaces proves to be particularly advantageous in addressing sparsity, edge-preserving and heterogeneous signal/noise statistics, while remaining efficient and stable from an optimisation perspective. We numerically validate this extensively on 1D/2D exemplar inverse problems (deconvolution, mixed denoising, CT reconstruction). The second part of the thesis focuses on off-the-grid Poisson inverse problems formulated within the space of Radon measures. Our contribution consists in the modelling of a variational model which couples a Kullback-Leibler data term with the Total Variation regularisation of the desired measure (that is, a weighted sum of Diracs) together with a non-negativity constraint. A detailed study of the optimality conditions and of the corresponding dual problem is carried out and an improved version of the Sliding Franke-Wolfe algorithm is used for computing the numerical solution efficiently. To mitigate the dependence of the results on the choice of the regularisation parameter, an homotopy strategy is proposed for its automatic tuning, where, at each algorithmic iteration checks whether an informed stopping criterion defined in terms of the noise level is verified and update the regularisation parameter accordingly. Several numerical experiments are reported on both simulated 2D and real 3D fluorescence microscopy data

We define and study a new family of Banach spaces, the J ames-Schreier spaces, cre- ated by combining key properties in the definitions of two important classical Banach spaces, namely James' quasi-reflexive space and Schreier's space. We explore both the Banach space and Banach algebra theory of these spaces. The new spaces inherit aspects of both parent spaces: our main results are that the J ames-Schreier spaces each have a shrinking basis, do not embed in a Banach space with an unconditional basis, and each of their closed, infinite-dimensional subspaces contains a copy of Co. As Banach sequence algebras each James-Schreier space has a bounded approx- imate identity and is weakly amenable but not amenable, and the bidual and multiplier - algebra are isometrically isomorphic. We approach our study of Banach sequence algebras from the point of view of Schauder basis theory, in particular looking at those Banach sequence algebras for which the unit vectors form an unconditional or shrinking basis. We finally show that for each Banach space X with an unconditional basis we may construct a James-like Banach sequence algebra j(X) with a bounded approximate identity, and give a condition on the shift operators acting on X which implies that j(X) will contain a copy of X as a complemented ideal and hence not be amenable.

Capítulo 1. Después de estudiar algunos preliminares sobre familias adecuadas de conjuntos, formulamos y probamos algunas equivalencias, cada una de ellas son una condición suficiente para que la familia defina un conjunto compacto de Gul'ko. Damos una caracterización de conjunto compacto de Gul'ko en términos de emparejamiento con un conjunto $\mathcal{K}$-analítico. Capítulo 2. Estudiamos propiedades de los espacios de Banach débilmente Lindelöf determinados no-separables. Damos una caracterización por medio de la existencia de un generador proyeccional full sobre él. Estudiamos algunos aspectos sobre sistemas biortogonales en espacios de Banach. Usando técnicas de resoluciones proyeccionales de la identidad, probamos una extensión de un resultado de Argyros y Mercourakis. Capítulo 3. En el espacio $(c_0(\Gamma),\|\cdot\|_\infty)$, con $\Gamma\in\mathbb{R}$, damos una norma equivalente estrictamente convexa. Capítulo 4. Consideramos una caracterización de los subespacios de espacios de Banach débilmente compactamente generados, en términos de una propiedad de cubrimiento de la bola unidad por medio de conjuntos $\epsilon$-débilmente compactos. Reemplazamos este concepto por otro más preciso que llamamos $\epsilon$-débilmente auto-compactos, este concepto permite una mejor descripción. Capítulo 5. Damos condiciones intrínsecas, necesarias y suficientes para que un espacio de Banach sea generado por $c_0(\Gamma)$ o $\ell_p(\Gamma)$ para $p\in(1,+\infty)$. Ofrecemos una nueva demostración de un resultado de Rosenthal, sobre operadores de $c_0(\Gamma)$ en un espacio de Banach.

We study the geometric classification of Banach spaces via Lipschitz, uniformly continuous, and coarse mappings. We prove that a Banach space which is uniformly homeomorphic to a linear quotient of lp is itself a linear quotient of lp when p<2. We show that a Banach space which is Lipschitz universal for all separable metric spaces cannot be asymptotically uniformly convex. Next we consider coarse embedding maps as defined by Gromov, and show that lp cannot coarsely embed into a Hilbert space when p> 2. We then build upon the method of this proof to show that a quasi-Banach space coarsely embeds into a Hilbert space if and only if it is isomorphic to a subspace of L0(??) for some probability space (Ω,B,??).

The notion of asymptotic structure of an infinite dimensional Banach space was introduced by Maurey, Milman and Tomczak-Jaegermann. The asymptotic structure consists of those finite dimensional spaces which can be found everywhere `at infinity'. These are defined as the spaces for which there is a winning strategy in a certain vector game. The above authors introduced the class of asymptotic $\ell_p$ spaces, which are the spaces having simplest possible asymptotic structure. Key examples of such spaces are Tsirelson's space and James' space. We prove some new properties of general asymptotic $\ell_p$ spaces and also compare the notion of asymptotic $\ell_2$ with other notions of asymptotic Hilbert space behaviour such as weak Hilbert and asymptotically Hilbertian. We study some properties of smooth functions defined on subsets of asymptotic $\ell_\infty$ spaces. Using these results we show that that an asymptotic $\ell_\infty$ space which has a suitably smooth norm is isomorphically polyhedral, and therefore admits an equivalent analytic norm. We give a sufficient condition for a generalized Orlicz space to be a stabilized asymptotic $\ell_\infty$ space, and hence obtain some new examples of asymptotic $\ell_\infty$ spaces. We also show that every generalized Orlicz space which is stabilized asymptotic $\ell_\infty$ is isomorphically polyhedral. In 1991 Gowers and Maurey constructed the first example of a space which did not contain an unconditional basic sequence. In fact their example had a stronger property, namely that it was hereditarily indecomposable. The space they constructed was `$\ell_1$-like' in the sense that for any $n$ successive vectors $x_1 < \ldots < x_n$, $\frac{1}{f(n)} \sum_{i=1}^n \| x_i \| \leq \| \sum_{i=1}^n x_i \| \leq \sum_{i=1}^n \| x_i \|,$ where $ f(n) = \log_2 (n+1) $. We present an adaptation of this construction to obtain, for each $ p \in (1, \infty)$, an hereditarily indecomposable Banach space, which is `$\ell_p$-like' in the sense described above. We give some sufficient conditions on the set of types, $\mathscr{T}(X)$, for a Banach space $X$ to contain almost isometric copies of $\ell_p$ (for some $p \in [1, \infty)$) or of $c_0$. These conditions involve compactness of certain subsets of $\mathscr{T}(X)$ in the strong topology. The proof of these results relies heavily on spreading model techniques. We give two examples of classes of spaces which satisfy these conditions. The first class of examples were introduced by Kalton, and have a structural property known as Property (M). The second class of examples are certain generalized Tsirelson spaces. We introduce the class of stopping time Banach spaces which generalize a space introduced by Rosenthal and first studied by Bang and Odell. We look at subspaces of these spaces which are generated by sequences of independent random variables and we show that they are isomorphic to (generalized) Orlicz spaces. We deduce also that every Orlicz space, $h_\phi$, embeds isomorphically in the stopping time Banach space of Rosenthal. We show also, by using a suitable independence condition, that stopping time Banach spaces also contain subspaces isomorphic to mixtures of Orlicz spaces.

Tensor products of Banach Spaces are studied. An introduction to tensor products is given. Some results concerning the reciprocal Dunford-Pettis Property due to Emmanuele are presented. Pelczyriski's property (V) and (V)-sets are studied. It will be shown that if X and Y are Banach spaces with property (V) and every integral operator from X into Y* is compact, then the (V)-subsets of (X⊗F)* are weak* sequentially compact. This in turn will be used to prove some stronger convergence results for (V)-subsets of C(Ω,X)*.

The definition of semi-hyperbolic dynamical systems generated by Lipschitz continuous and not necessarily invertible mappings in Banach spaces is presented in this thesis. Like hyperbolic mappings, they involve a splitting into stable and unstable spaces, but a slight leakage from the strict invariance of the spaces is possible and the unstable subspaces are assumed to be finite dimensional. Bi-shadowing is a combination of the concepts of shadowing and inverse shadowing and is usually used to compare pseudo-trajectories calculated by a computer with the true trajectories. In this thesis, the concept of bi-shadowing in a Banach space is defined and proved for semi-hyperbolic dynamical systems generated by Lipschitz mappings. As an application to the concept of bishadowing, linear delay differential equations are shown to be bi-shadowing with respect to pseudo-trajectories generated by nonlinear small perturbations of the linear delay equation. This shows robustness of solutions of the linear delay equation with respect to small nonlinear perturbations. Complicated dynamical behaviour is often a consequence of the expansivity of a dynamical system. Semi-hyperbolic dynamical systems generated by Lipschitz mappings on a Banach space are shown to be exponentially expansive, and explicit rates of expansion are determined. The result is applied to a nonsmooth noninvertible system generated by delay differential equation. It is shown that semi-hyperbolic mappings are locally φ-contracting, where -0 is the Hausdorff measure of noncompactness, and that a linear operator is semi-hyperbolic if and only if it is φ-contracting and has no spectral values on the unit circle. The definition of φ-bi-shadowing is given and it is shown that semi-hyperbolic mappings in Banach spaces are φ-bi-shadowing with respect to locally condensing continuous comparison mappings. The result is applied to linear delay differential equations of neutral type with nonsmooth perturbations. Finally, it is shown that a small delay perturbation of an ordinary differential equation with a homoclinic trajectory is ‘chaotic’.

Our aim in this research was to study monotone operators in Banach spaces. In particular, the most important concept in this theory, the maximal monotone operators. Here we make an attempt to describe most of the important results and concepts on maximal monotone operators and how they all tie together. We will take a brief look at subdifferentials, which generalize the notion of a derivative. The subdifferential is a maximal monotone operator and it has proved to be of fundamental importance for the study of maximal monotone operators. The theory of maximal monotone operators is somewhat complete in reflexive Banach spaces. However, in nonreflexive Banach spaces it is still to be developed fully. As such, here we will describe most of the important results about maximal monotone operators in Banach spaces and we will distinguish between the reflexive Banach spaces and nonreflexive Banach spaces when a property is known to hold only in reflexive Banach spaces. In the latter case, we will state what the corresponding situation is in nonreflexive Banach spaces and we will give counter examples whenever such a result is known to fail in nonreflexive Banach spaces. The representations of monotone operators by convex functions have found to be extremely useful for the study of maximal monotone operators and it has generated a lot of interest of late. We will discuss some of those key representations and their properties. We will also demonstrate how these representations could be utilized to obtain results about maximal monotone operators. We have included a discussion about the very important Rockafellar sum theorem and some its generalizations. This key result and its generalizations have only been proved in reflexive Banach spaces. We will also discuss several special cases where the Rockafellar sum theorem is known to be true in nonreflexive Banach spaces. The subclasses which provide a basis for the study of monotone operators in nonreflexive Banach spaces are also discussed here

We define a universal Fréchet set S of a Banach space Y as a subset containing a point of Fréchet differentiability of every Lipschitz function g : Y -> R. We prove a sufficient condition for S to be a universal Fréchet set and use this to construct new examples of such sets. The strongest such result says that in a non-zero Banach space Y with separable dual one can find a universal Fréchet set S ⊆ Y that is closed, bounded and has Hausdorff dimension one.

The central idea in this thesis is the introduction of a new isometric invariant of a Banach space. This is Property AI-I. A Banach space has Property AI-I if whenever a finite metric space almost-isometrically embeds into the space, it isometrically embeds. To study this property we introduce two further properties that can be thought of as finite metric variants of Dvoretzky's Theorem and Krivine's Theorem. We say that a Banach space satisfies the Finite Isometric Dvoretzky Property (FIDP) if it contains every finite subset of $\ell_2$ isometrically. We say that a Banach space has the Finite Isometric Krivine Property (FIKP) if whenever $\ell_p$ is finitely representable in the space then it contains every subset of $\ell_p$ isometrically. We show that every infinite-dimensional Banach space \emph{nearly} has FIDP and every Banach space nearly has FIKP. We then use convexity arguments to demonstrate that not every Banach space has FIKP, and thus we can exhibit classes of Banach spaces that fail to have Property AI-I. The methods used break down when one attempts to prove that there is a Banach space without FIDP and we conjecture that every infinite-dimensional Banach space has Property FIDP.

The aim of this thesis is to provide a survey of the topic of composition operators on spaces of (equivalence classes of) measurable functions and attempt to unify some of the most important results contained in the literature. A large class of these spaces can be equipped with norms turning them into Banach lattices. These spaces are called Banach function spaces and examples include the Lebesgue, Lorentz, Orlicz and Orlicz-Lorentz spaces.

[EN] The Ph.D. thesis "Weighted Banach Spaces of harmonic functions" presented here, treats several topics of functional analysis such as weights, composition operators, Fréchet and Gâteaux differentiability of the norm and isomorphism classes. The work is divided into four chapters that are preceded by one in which we introduce the notation and the well-known properties that we use in the proofs in the rest of the chapters. In the first chapter we study Banach spaces of harmonic functions on open sets of R^d endowed with weighted supremun norms. We define the harmonic associated weight, we explain its properties, we compare it with the holomorphic associated weight introduced by Bierstedt, Bonet and Taskinen, and we find differences and conditions under which they are exactly the same and conditions under which they are equivalent. The second chapter is devoted to the analysis of composition operators with holomorphic symbol between weighted Banach spaces of pluriharmonic functions. We characterize the continuity, the compactness and the essential norm of composition operators among these spaces in terms of their weights, thus extending the results of Bonet, Taskinen, Lindström, Wolf, Contreras, Montes and others for composition operators between spaces of holomorphic functions. We prove that for each value of the interval [0,1] there is a composition operator between weighted spaces of harmonic functions such that its essential norm attains this value. Most of the contents of Chapters 1 and 2 have been published by E. Jordá and the author in [48]. The third chapter is related with the study of Gâteaux and Fréchet differentiability of the norm. The \v{S}mulyan criterion states that the norm of a real Banach space X is Gâteaux differentiable at x\inX if and only if there exists x^* in the unit ball of the dual of X weak^* exposed by x and the norm is Fréchet differentiable at x if and only if x^* is weak^* strongly exposed in the unit ball of the dual of X by x. We show that in this criterion the unit ball of the dual of X can be replaced by a smaller convenient set, and we apply this extended criterion to characterize the points of Gâteaux and Fréchet differentiability of the norm of some spaces of harmonic functions and continuous functions with vector values. Starting from these results we get an easy proof of the theorem about the Gâteaux differentiability of the norm for spaces of compact linear operators announced by Heinrich and published without proof. Moreover, these results allow us to obtain applications to classical Banach spaces as the space H^\infty of bounded holomorphic functions in the disc and the algebra A(\overline{\D}) of continuous functions on \overline{\D} which are holomorphic on \D. The content of this chapter has been included by E. Jordá and the author in [47]. Finally, in the forth chapter we show that for any open set U of R^d and weight v on U, the space hv0(U) of harmonic functions such that multiplied by the weight vanishes at the boundary on U is almost isometric to a closed subspace of c0, extending a theorem due to Bonet and Wolf for the spaces of holomorphic functions Hv0(U) on open sets U of C^d. Likewise, we also study the geometry of these weighted spaces inspired by a work of Boyd and Rueda, examining topics such as the v-boundary and v-peak points and we give the conditions that provide examples where hv0(U) cannot be isometric to c0. For a balanced open set U of R^d, some geometrical conditions in U and convexity in the weight v ensure that hv0(U) is not rotund. These results have been published by E. Jordá and the author [46].
[ES] La presente memoria, "Espacios de Banach ponderados de funciones armónicas ", trata diversos tópicos del análisis funcional, como son las funciones peso, los operadores de composición, la diferenciabilidad Fréchet y Gâteaux de la norma y las clases de isomorfismos. El trabajo está dividido en cuatro capítulos precedidos de uno inicial en el que introducimos la notación y las propiedades conocidas que usamos en las demostraciones del resto de capítulos. En el primer capítulo estudiamos espacios de Banach de funciones armónicas en conjuntos abiertos de R^d dotados de normas del supremo ponderadas. Definimos el peso asociado armónico, explicamos sus propiedades, lo comparamos con el peso asociado holomorfo introducido por Bierstedt, Bonet y Taskinen, y encontramos diferencias y condiciones para que sean exactamente iguales y condiciones para que sean equivalentes. El capítulo segundo está dedicado al análisis de los operadores de composición con símbolo holomorfo entre espacios de Banach ponderados de funciones pluriarmónicas. Caracterizamos la continuidad, la compacidad y la norma esencial de operadores de composición entre estos espacios en términos de los pesos, extendiendo los resultados de Bonet, Taskinen, Lindström, Wolf, Contreras, Montes y otros para operadores de composición entre espacios de funciones holomorfas. Probamos que para todo valor del intervalo [0,1] existe un operador de composición sobre espacios ponderados de funciones armónicas tal que su norma esencial alcanza dicho valor. La mayoría de los contenidos de los capítulos 1 y 2 han sido publicados por E. Jordá y la autora en [48]. El capítulo tercero está relacionado con el estudio de la diferenciabilidad Gâteaux y Fréchet de la norma. El criterio de \v{S}mulyan establece que la norma de un espacio de Banach real X es Gâteaux diferenciable en x\in X si y sólo si existe x^* en la bola unidad del dual de X débil expuesto por x y la norma es Fréchet diferenciable en x si y sólo si x^*es débil fuertemente expuesto en la bola unidad del dual de X por x. Mostramos que en este criterio la bola del dual de X puede ser reemplazada por un conjunto conveniente más pequeño, y aplicamos este criterio extendido para caracterizar los puntos de diferenciabilidad Gâteaux y Fréchet de la norma de algunos espacios de funciones armónicas y continuas con valores vectoriales. A partir de estos resultados conseguimos una prueba sencilla del teorema sobre la diferenciabilidad Gâteaux de la norma de espacios de operadores lineales compactos enunciado por Heinrich y publicado sin la prueba. Además, éstos nos permiten obtener aplicaciones para espacios de Banach clásicos como H^\infty de funciones holomorfas acotadas en el disco y A(\overline{\D}) de funciones continuas en \overline{\D} que son holomorfas en \D. Los contenidos de este capítulo han sido incluidos por E. Jordá y la autora en [47]. Finalmente, en el capítulo cuarto mostramos que para cualquier abierto U contenido en R^d y cualquier peso v en U, el espacio hv0(U), de funciones armónicas tales que multiplicadas por el peso desaparecen en el infinito de U, es casi isométrico a un subespacio cerrado de c0, extendiendo un teorema debido a Bonet y Wolf para los espacios de funciones holomorfas Hv0(U) en abiertos U de C^d. Así mismo, inspirados por un trabajo de Boyd y Rueda también estudiamos la geometría de estos espacios ponderados examinando tópicos como la v-frontera y los puntos v-peak y damos las condiciones que proporcionan ejemplos donde hv0(U) no puede ser isométrico a c0. Para un conjunto abierto equilibrado U de R^d, algunas condiciones geométricas en U y sobre convexidad en el peso v aseguran que hv0(U) no es rotundo. Estos resultados han sido publicados por E. Jordá y la autora en [46].
[CAT] La present memòria, "Espais de Banach ponderats de funcions harmòniques", tracta diversos tòpics de l'anàlisi funcional, com són les funcions pes, els operadors de composició, la diferenciabilitat Fréchet i Gâteaux de la norma i les clases d'isomorfismes. El treball està dividit en quatre capítols precedits d'un d'inicial en què introduïm la notació i les propietats conegudes que fem servir en les demostracions de la resta de capítols. En el primer capítol estudiem espais de Banach de funcions harmòniques en conjunts oberts de R^d dotats de normes del suprem ponderades. Definim el pes associat harmònic, expliquem les seues propietats, el comparem amb el pes associat holomorf introduït per Bierstedt, Bonet i Taskinen, i trobem diferències i condicions perquè siguen exactament iguals i condicions perquè siguen equivalents. El capítol segon està dedicat a l'anàlisi dels operadors de composició amb símbol holomorf entre espais de Banach ponderats de funcions pluriharmòniques. Caracteritzem la continuïtat, la compacitat i la norma essencial d'operadors de composició entre aquests espais en termes dels pesos, estenent els resultats de Bonet, Taskinen, Lindström, Wolf, Contreras, Montes i altres per a operadors de composició entre espais de funcions holomorfes. Provem que per a tot valor de l'interval [0,1] hi ha un operador de composició sobre espais ponderats de funcions harmòniques tal que la seua norma essencial arriba aquest valor. La majoria dels continguts dels capítols 1 i 2 han estat publicats per E. Jordá i l'autora en [48]. El capítol tercer està relacionat amb l'estudi de la diferenciabilitat Gâteaux y Fréchet de la norma. El criteri de \v{S}mulyan estableix que la norma d'un espai de Banach real X és Gâteaux diferenciable en x\inX si i només si existeix x^* a la bola unitat del dual de X feble exposat per x i la norma és Fréchet diferenciable en x si i només si x^* és feble fortament exposat a la bola unitat del dual de X per x. Mostrem que en aquest criteri la bola del dual de X pot ser substituïda per un conjunt convenient més petit, i apliquem aquest criteri estès per caracteritzar els punts de diferenciabilitat Gâteaux i Fréchet de la norma d'alguns espais de funcions harmòniques i contínues amb valors vectorials. A partir d'aquests resultats aconseguim una prova senzilla del teorema sobre la diferenciabilitat Gâteaux de la norma d'espais d'operadors lineals compactes enunciat per Heinrich i publicat sense la prova. A més, aquests ens permeten obtenir aplicacions per a espais de Banach clàssics com l'espai H^\infty de funcions holomorfes acotades en el disc i l'àlgebra A(\overline{\D}) de funcions contínues en \overline{\D} que són holomorfes en \D. Els continguts d'aquest capítol han estat inclosos per E. Jordá i l'autora en [47]. Finalment, en el capítol quart mostrem que per a qualsevol conjunt obert U de R^d i qualsevol pes v en U, l'espai hv0(U), de funcions harmòniques tals que multiplicades pel pes desapareixen en el infinit d'U, és gairebé isomètric a un subespai tancat de c0, estenent un teorema degut a Bonet y Wolf per als espais de funcions holomorfes Hv0(U) en oberts U de C^d. Així mateix, inspirats per un treball de Boyd i Rueda també estudiem la geometria d'aquests espais ponderats examinant tòpics com la v-frontera i els punts v-peak i donem les condicions que proporcionen exemples on hv0(U) no pot ser isomètric a c0. Per a un conjunt obert equilibrat U de R^d, algunes condicions geomètriques en U i sobre convexitat en el pes v asseguren que hv0(U) no és rotund. Aquests resultats han estat publicats per E. Jordá i l'autora en [46].

A continuous convex function on an open interval of the real line is differentiable everywhere except on a countable subset of its domain. There has been interest in the problem of characterizing those Banach spaces where the continuous functions exhibit similar differentiability properties. In this paper we show that if a Banach space E has property (H*) and B_E• is weak* sequentially compact, then E is an Asplund space. In the case where the space is weakly compactly generated, it is shown that property (H*) is equivalent for the space to admit an equivalent Frechet differentiable norm. Moreover, we define the SH* spaces, show that every SH* space is an Asplund space, and show that every weakly sequentially complete SH* space is reflexive. Also, we study the relation between property (H*) and the asymptotic norming property (ANP). By a slight modification of the ANP we define the ANP*, and show that if the dual of a Banach spaces has the ANP*-I then the space admits an equivalent Fréchet differentiability norm, and that the ANP*-II is equivalent to the space having property (H*) and the closed unit ball of the dual is weak* sequentially compact. Also, we show that in the dual of a weakly countably determined Banach space all the ANP-K'S are equivalent, and they are equivalent for the predual to have property (H*).

The purpose of this paper is to explore certain properties of Banach spaces. The first chapter begins with basic definitions, includes examples of Banach spaces, and concludes with some properties of continuous linear functionals. In the second chapter, dimension is discussed; then one version of the Hahn-Banach Theorem is presented. The third chapter focuses on dual spaces and includes an example using co, RI, and e'. The role of locally convex spaces is also explored in this chapter. In the fourth chapter, several more theorems concerning dual spaces and related topologies are presented. The final chapter focuses on reflexive spaces. In the main theorem, the relation between compactness and reflexivity is examined. The paper concludes with an example of a non-reflexive space.

"A natural process in examining properties of Banach spaces is to see if a Banach space can be decomposed into simpler Banach spaces; in other words, to see if a Banach space has complemented subspaces. This thesis concentrates on three main aspects of this problem: norm of projections of a Banach space onto its finite dimensional subspaces; a class of Banach spaces, each of which has a large number of infinite dimensional complemented subspaces; and methods of finding Banach spaces which have uncomplemented subspaces, where the subspaces and the quotient spaces are chosen as well-known classical sequence spaces (finding non-trivial twisted sums)." --Abstract.

This paper examines several questions regarding Banach spaces, completeness and compactness of Banach spaces, dual spaces and weak and weak* topologies. Examples of completeness and isometries are given using the c₀ and 𝓁ᴰ spaces. The Hahn-Banach extension theorem is presented, along with some applications. General theory about finite and infinite dimensional normed linear spaces is the bulk of the second chapter. A proof of the uniform boundedness principle is also given. Chapter three talks in detail about dual spaces and weak and weak* topologies. An embedding proof and proofs involving weak and weak compactness are also given. The Cauchy-Bunyakowski-Schwarz inequality and Alaoglu's theorem are also proven.

The principal objects of study in this thesis are arbitrary spectral families, E, on a complex Banach space X. The central theme is the relationship between the geometry of X and the p-variation of E. We show that provided X is super- reflexive, then given any E, there exists a value 1 · p < 1, depending only on E and X, such that var p(E) < 1. If X is uniformly smooth we provide an explicit range of such values p, which depends only on E and the modulus of convexity of X*, delta X*(.).

A set S in a Banach space X is called a universal differentiability set if S contains a point of differentiability of every Lipschitz function f : X -> R. The present thesis investigates the nature of such sets. We uncover examples of exceptionally small universal differentiability sets and prove that all universal differentiability sets satisfy certain strong structural conditions. Later, we expand our focus to properties of more general absolutely continuous functions.

In this thesis we build on the theory concerning the metric geometry of relatively hyperbolic and mapping class groups, especially with respect to the difficulty of embedding such groups into Banach spaces. In Chapter 3 (joint with Alessandro Sisto) we construct simple embeddings of closed graph manifold groups into a product of three metric trees, answering positively a conjecture of Smirnov concerning the Assouad-Nagata dimension of such spaces. Consequently, we obtain optimal embeddings of such spaces into certain Banach spaces. The ideas here have been extended to other closed three-manifolds and to higher dimensional analogues of graph manifolds. In Chapter 4 we give an explicit method of embedding relatively hyperbolic groups into certain Banach spaces, which yields optimal bounds on the compression exponent of such groups relative to their peripheral subgroups. From this we deduce that the fundamental group of every closed three-manifold has Hilbert compression exponent one. In Chapter 5 we prove that relatively hyperbolic spaces with a tree-graded quasi-isometry representative can be characterised by a relative version of Manning's bottleneck property. This applies to the Bestvina-Bromberg-Fujiwara quasi-trees of spaces, yielding an embedding of each mapping class group of a closed surface into a finite product of simplicial trees. From this we obtain explicit embeddings of mapping class groups into certain Banach spaces and deduce that these groups have finite Assouad-Nagata dimension. It also applies to relatively hyperbolic groups, proving that such groups have finite Assouad-Nagata dimension if and only if each peripheral subgroup does.

Function spaces have been a useful tool in probing the convergence of sequences of functions. The theory seems to have been triggered off by the works of Ascoli [36], Arzelà [37] and Hadamard [38]. In this thesis, we consider the space of continuous functions from a topological space X into the reals R, which we denote C(X).

The main theme of the thesis is the study of continuity and approximation problems, involving matrix-valued and vector-valued Hardy spaces on the unit disc ID and its boundary T in the complex plane. The first part of the thesis looks at the factorization of square matrix-valued boundary functions, beginning with spectral factorization in Chapter 2. Then ideas involving approximations with inner and outer functions are used to solve a matrix analogue of the Douglas-Rudin problem in Chapter 3. In both cases, considerable considerable extra difficulties are created by the noncommutativity of matrix multiplication. More specifically, we show that the matrix spectral factorization mapping is sequentially continuous from LP to H2p (where 1
