In this paper we prove some improved Caffarelli-Kohn-Nirenberg inequalities and uncertainty principle for complex- and vector-valued functions on $\mathbb R^n$, which is a further study of the results in \cite{Dang-Deng-Qian}. In particular, we introduce an analogue of "phase derivative" for vector-valued functions. Moreover, using the introduced "phase derivative", we extend the extra-strong uncertainty principle to cases for complex- and vector-valued functions defined on $\mathbb S^n,n\geq 2.$

This paper systematically studies Hilbert boundary value problems for hyper monogenic functions on the hyperplane for the solutions being of any integer orders at the infinity, where the negative order cases are new even when restricted to the complex plane context. The explicit solution formulas are given and the solvability conditions are specified. The results are proved through using the Clifford symmetric extension method to reduce Hilbert boundary value problems to Riemann boundary value problems.

Independence analysis is an indispensable step before regression analysis to find out essential factors that influence the objects. With many applications in machine Learning, medical Learning and a variety of disciplines, statistical methods of measuring the relationship between random variables have been well studied in vector spaces. However, there are few methods developed to verify the relation between random elements in metric spaces. In this paper, we present a novel index called metric distributional discrepancy (MDD) to measure the dependence between a random element $X$ and a categorical variable $Y$, which is applicable to the medical image and genetic data. The metric distributional discrepancy statistics can be considered as the distance between the conditional distribution of $X$ given each class of $Y$ and the unconditional distribution of $X$. MDD enjoys some significant merits compared to other dependence-measures. For instance, MDD is zero if and only if $X$ and $Y$ are independent. MDD test is a distribution-free test since there is no assumption on the distribution of random elements. Furthermore, MDD test is robust to the data with heavy-tailed distribution and potential outliers. We demonstrate the validity of our theory and the property of the MDD test by several numerical experiments and real data analysis., Comment: 14 pages, 2 figures

In the Clifford algebra setting the present study develops three reproducing kernel Hilbert spaces of the Paley-Wiener type, namely the Paley-Wiener spaces, the Hardy spaces on strips, and the Bergman spaces on strips. In particular, we give spectrum characterizations and representation formulas of the functions in those spaces and estimation of their respective reproducing kernels.

It is known that adaptive Fourier decomposition (AFD) offers efficient rational approxima- tions to functions in the classical Hardy H2 spaces with significant applications. This study aims at rational approximation in Bergman, and more widely, in weighted Bergman spaces, the functions of which have more singularity than those in the Hardy spaces. Due to lack of an effective inner function theory, direct adaptation of the Hardy-space AFD is not performable. We, however, show that a pre-orthogonal method, being equivalent to AFD in the classical cases, is available for all weighted Bergman spaces. The theory in the Bergman spaces has equal force as AFD in the Hardy spaces. The methodology of approximation is via constructing the rational orthogonal systems of the Bergman type spaces, called Bergman space rational orthog- onal (BRO) system, that have the same role as the Takennaka-Malmquist (TM) system in the Hardy spaces. Subsequently, we prove a certain type direct sum decomposition of the Bergman spaces that reveals the orthogonal complement relation between the span of the BRO system and the zero-based invariant spaces. We provide a sequence of examples with different and ex- plicit singularities at the boundary along with a study on the inclusion relations of the weighted Bergman spaces. We finally present illustrative examples for effectiveness of the approximation.

In this paper, we study a class of boundary value problems (BVPs) with Robin conditions in some $L^p$ spaces for polyharmonic equation on Lipschitz domains. Utilizing polyharmonic fundamental solutions, these Robin BVPs are solved by the method of layer potentials. The crucial ingedients of our approach are the classical single layer potential and its higher order analog (which are called multi-layer $S$-potentials), and the main results generalize ones of second order (Laplacian) case to higher order (polyharmonic) case., Comment: 14 pages

In this paper we study symmetry properties of the Hilbert transformation of several real variables in the Clifford algebra setting. In order to describe the symmetry properties we introduce the group $r\mathrm{Spin}(n)+\mathbb{R}^n, r>0,$ which is essentially an extension of the ax+b group. The study concludes that the Hilbert transformation has certain characteristic symmetry properties in terms of $r\mathrm{Spin}(n)+\mathbb{R}^n.$ In the present paper, for $n=2$ and $3$ we obtain, explicitly, the induced spinor representations of the $r\mathrm{Spin}(n)+\mathbb{R}^n$ group. Then we decompose the natural representation of $r\mathrm{Spin}(n)+\mathbb{R}^n$ into the direct sum of some two irreducible spinor representations, by which we characterize the Hilbert transformation in $\mathbb{R}^3$ and $\mathbb{R}^2.$ Precisely, we show that a nontrivial skew operator is the Hilbert transformation if and only if it is invariant under the action of the $r\mathrm{Spin}(n)+\mathbb{R}^n, n=2,3,$ group.

In this paper we study the Hilbert transformations over $L^2(\mathbb{R})$ and $L^2(\mathbb{T})$ from the viewpoint of symmetry. For a linear operator over $L^2(\mathbb{R})$ commutative with the ax+b group we show that the operator is of the form $\lambda I+\eta H, $ where $I$ and $H$ are the identity operator and Hilbert transformation respectively, and $\lambda,\eta$ are complex numbers. In the related literature this result was proved through first invoking the boundedness result of the operator, proved though a big machinery. In our setting the boundedness is a consequence of the boundedness of the Hilbert transformation. The methodology that we use is Gelfand-Naimark's representation of the ax+b group. Furthermore we prove a similar result on the unit circle. Although there does not exist a group like ax+b on the unit circle, we construct a semigroup to play the same symmetry role for the Hilbert transformations over the circle $L^2(\mathbb{T}).$

This article studies the Fourier spectrum characterization of functions in the Clifford algebra-valued Hardy spaces $H^p(\mathbf R^{n+1}_+), 1\leq p\leq \infty.$ Namely, for $f\in L^p(\mathbf R^n)$, Clifford algebra-valued, $f$ is further the non-tangential boundary limit of some function in $H^p(\mathbf R^{n+1}_+),$ $1\leq p\leq \infty,$ if and only if $\hat{f}=\chi_+\hat{f},$ where $\chi_+(\underline{\xi})=\frac{1}{2}(1+i\frac{\underline \xi}{|\underline \xi|}),$ where the Fourier transformation and the above relation are suitably interpreted (for some cases in the distribution sense). These results further develop the relevant context of Alan McIntosh. As a particular case of our results, the vector-valued Clifford Hardy space functions are identical with the conjugate harmonic systems in the work of Stein and Weiss. The latter proved the corresponding results in terms of the single integral form for the cases $1\leq p<\infty.$

We prove that a $IR n+1$-valued vector field on IR n is the sum of the traces of two harmonic gradients, one in each component of $IR n+1 \ IR n$ , and of a $IR n$-valued divergence free vector field. We apply this to the description of vanishing potentials in divergence form. The results are stated in terms of Clifford Hardy spaces, the structure of which is important for our study., Comment: to appear in Transactions of the American Mathematical Society

We introduce a one-parameter family of transforms, $U^t_{(m)}$, $t>0$, from the Hilbert space of Clifford algebra valued square integrable functions on the $m$--dimensional sphere, $L^2(S^{m},d\sigma_{m})\otimes \mathbb{C}_{m+1}$, to the Hilbert spaces, ${\mathcal M}L^2(\mathbb{R}^{m+1} \setminus \{0\},d\mu_t)$, of monogenic functions on $\mathbb{R}^{m+1}\setminus \{0\}$ which are square integrable with respect to appropriate measures, $d\mu_t$. We prove that these transforms are unitary isomorphisms of the Hilbert spaces and are extensions of the Segal-Bargman coherent state transform, $U_{(1)} : L^2(S^{1},d\sigma_{1}) \longrightarrow {\mathcal H}L^2({\mathbb{C} \setminus \{0\}},d\mu)$, to higher dimensional spheres in the context of Clifford analysis. In Clifford analysis it is natural to replace the analytic continuation from $S^m$ to $S^m_{\mathbb{C}}$ as in \cite{Ha1, St, HM} by the Cauchy--Kowalewski extension from $S^m$ to $\mathbb{R}^{m+1}\setminus \{0\}$. One then obtains a unitary isomorphism from an $L^2$--Hilbert space to an Hilbert space of solutions of the Dirac equation, that is to a Hilbert space of monogenic functions., Comment: 13 pages
