Let $$\mathcal{H}^{1,1} (T^1 )$$ denote the Hardy space of real-valued functions on the unit circle with weak derivatives in the usual real Hardy space $$\mathcal{H}^1 (T^1 )$$ . It is shown that when the weak derivative of a locally Lipschitz continuous function$f$has bounded variation on compact sets the Nemytskii operator$F$, defined by$F(u)=f·u$, maps $$\mathcal{H}^{1,1} (T^1 )$$ continuously into itself. A further condition sufficient for the continuous Fréchet differentiability of$F$is then added.

It is known that, unlike the one dimensional case it is not possible to find an upper bound for the zeros of an entire map from$C$^{$n$}to$C$^{$n$},$n$≥2, in terms of the growth of the map. However, if we only consider the “non-degenerate” zeros, that is, the zeros where the jacobian is not “too small”, it becomes possible. We give a new proof of this fact.

A new and fairly elementary proof is given of the result by B. Simon [S], that the potential in a Sturm-Liouville operator is determined by the asymptotics of the associated$m$-function near −∞. The proof given is based on relations between the classical transformation operators and the$m$-function.

We prove a Melin-Hörmander inequality for a Banach algebra of pseudo-differential operators whose calculus was developed by Sjöstrand. The main new difficulties in the proof are settled by a stationary phase method tailored to the low-regularity of the symbols.
