We show that smooth maps are$C$^{1}-dense among$C$^{1}volume-preserving maps.

Weighted weak type estimates are proved for some maximal operators on the weighted Hardy spaces$H$_{ω}^{$p$}(0 <$p$< 1, ω ∈$A$_{1}) (0<p<1, ω∞A_{1}); in particular, weighted weak type endpoint estimates are obtained for the maximal operators arising from the Bochner-Riesz means and the spherical means on$H$_{ω}^{$p$}.

In this paper we study the ($L$^{$p$}($u$^{$p$}),$L$^{$q$}($v$^{$q$})) boundedness of the higher order commutators$T$_{$Ω,α,b$}^{$m$}and$M$_{$Ω,α,b$}^{$m$}formed by the fractional integral operator$T$_{$Ω,α$}, the fractional maximal operator$M$_{$Ω,α$}, and a function$b(x)$in BMO($v$), respectively.

Inequalities of the form $$\sum\nolimits_{k = 0}^\infty {|\hat f(m_k )|/(k + 1) \leqslant C||f||_1 } $$ for all$f$∈$H$^{1}, where {$m$_{$k$}} are special subsequences of natural numbers, are investigated in the vector-valued setting. It is proved that Hardy's inequality and the generalized Hardy inequality are equivalent for vector valued Hardy spaces defined in terms ff atoms and that they actually characterize$B$-convexity. It is also shown that for 1<$q$<∞ and 0<α<∞ the space$X=H$(1,$q$,γa) consisting of analytic functions on the unit disc such that $$\int_0^1 {(1 - r)^{q\alpha - 1} M_1^q (f,r) dr< \infty } $$ satisfies the previous inequality for vector valued functions in$H$^{1}($X$), defined as the space of$X$-valued Bochner integrable functions on the torus whose negative Fourier coefficients vanish, for the case {$m$_{$k$}}={2^{k}} but not for {$m$_{$k$}}={$k$^{$a$}} for any α ∈ N.

In this paper we study the spectral counting function for the weighted$p$-laplacian in one dimension. First, we prove that all the eigenvalues can be obtained by a minimax characterization and then we show the existence of a Weyl-type leading term. Finally we find estimates for the remainder term.
