Littlewood-Paley Theory on Spaces of Homogeneous Type and the Classical Function Spaces
by Yongsheng Han, Eric T. Sawyer
1994 · American Mathematical Soc.
In this work, Han and Sawyer extend Littlewood-Paley theory, Besov spaces, and Triebel-Lizorkin spaces to the general setting of a space of homogeneous type. For this purpose, they establish a suitable analogue of the Calder 'on reproducing formula and use it to extend classical results on atomic decomposition, interpolation, and T1 and Tb theorems. Some new results in the classical setting are also obtained: atomic decompositions with vanishing b-moment, and Littlewood-Paley characterizations of Besov and Triebel-Lizorkin spaces with only half the usual smoothness and cancellation conditions on the approximate identity.
The armaments of chemical and biological warfare (CBW), as Eric Coddy shows in this introduction for the concerned layman, are now widely held not just by nation-states, but by terrorist and criminal enterprises. The weapons themselves are relatively inexpensive and very easy to hide, and organizations of just a few dozen people are capable of deploying potentially devastating attacks with them. While in the twentieth century most of our arms-control effort focused, rightly, on nuclear arsenals, in the twenty-first century CBW will almost certainly require just as much attention. This book defines the basics of CBW for the concerned citizen, including non-alarmist scientific descriptions of the weapons and their antidotes, methods of deployment and defensive response, and the likelihood in the current global political climate of additional proliferation.
