Discontinuous generalized double-almost-periodic functions on almost-complete-closed time scales
Boundary Value Problems volume 2019, Article number: 165 (2019)
Abstract
In this paper, we introduce the concept of almost-complete-closed time scales (ACCTS) that allows independent variables of functions to possess almost-periodicity under translations. For this new type of time scale, a class of piecewise functions with double-almost-periodicity is proposed and studied. Based on these, concepts of weighted pseudo-double-almost-periodic functions (WPDAP) in Banach spaces and a translation-almost-closed set are introduced. Further, we prove that the function space WPDAP0 affiliated to WPDAP is a translation-almost-closed set. Then, by introducing the concept of almost-uniform convergence for piecewise functions on ACCTS and using measure theory on time scales, some composition theorems of WPDAP and the completeness of the function space are proved.
1 Introduction
The theory of time scales was initiated by Hilger in 1988 [1] to unify continuous and discrete analysis, especially to combine different types of equations in hybrid domains such as \(\mathbb{T}=\mathbb{R}\), \(\mathbb{T}=q^{\mathbb{N}_{0}}:=\{q^{t}:t\in \mathbb{N}_{0} \text{ for } q>1\}\), \(\mathbb{T}=\overline{q^{\mathbb{Z}}}:=q^{ \mathbb{Z}}\cup \{0\}\), \(\mathbb{T}=h\mathbb{N}\) and \(\mathbb{T}= \mathbb{N}^{2}\), etc. Many works have been done in this research field (see [2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11]).
In 1927, H. Bohr developed a theory of almost-periodic functions and systems, based on this theory, almost-periodic phenomena were considered under the background of dynamic equations (see [12,13,14,15]). Since then, several different types of generalized almost-periodic functions and their related generalizations were introduced and studied and were applied to investigate the dynamical behavior of solutions with the properties of these functions (see [16,17,18,19,20,21,22,23]). Moreover, some important properties such as completeness of the function spaces and their invariance with respect to weights were established and proved (see [24,25,26]). Particularly, to unify the discussion of hybrid domains, the related problems of dynamic equations on time scales have been studied (see [27,28,29,30,31]). However, these results are based on the complete-closedness of time scales.
As is well known that most of time scales are almost-complete-closed rather than complete-closed, which will lead to the fuzziness of time scales, i.e., a time scale may approximate itself under a translation, but it will never coincide with itself. Many natural phenomena are in such a time variable structure, for instance, the time intervals of a round for a celestial body motion, the time intervals of recurrence of a tidal flood, etc. This phenomenon will cause a time approximation when almost-periodic problems are considered (see [32,33,34]). Hence, it is necessary to introduce and study functions on “almost-complete-closed” time scales.
Motivated by the above, in this paper, we conduct the further discussion of the almost-complete-closed time scales, based on this, we obtain some significant properties of weighted pseudo-double-almost-periodic functions in a Banach space and establish some composition theorems.
The organization of this paper is as follows. In Sect. 2, we collect some preliminary results concerning the theory of time scales and introduce the concept of almost-complete-closed time scales (ACCTS). Also some basic properties of ACCTS are obtained and some examples are given. In Sect. 3, we introduce the concept of almost-uniform convergence of piecewise functions on ACCTS. Then we define piecewise-continuous almost-periodic functions with double periodicity. Based on this, the concepts of weighted pseudo-double-almost-periodic functions (WPDAP) in Banach spaces and a translation-almost-closed set are introduced. Further, we prove that the function space WPDAP0 affiliated to WPDAP is a translation-almost-closed set. Then, by introducing the concept of almost-uniform convergence for piecewise functions on ACCTS and using measure theory on time scales, some composition theorems of WPDAP and the completeness of the function space are proved.
2 Almost-complete-closed time scales (ACCTS)
Before introducing the concept of almost-complete-closed time scales, the new concept of periodic time scales from [11] will be renamed as “complete-closed time scales” (CCTS) here.
Definition 2.1
([11])
We say \(\mathbb{T}\) is called a complete-closed time scale \(\mathrm{(CCTS)}\) if
We say \(\varPi _{0}\) is the complete-closedness translation number set of CCTS. Furthermore, we can describe it in detail as follows:
- \((a)\) :
-
if for any \(p>0\), there exists a number \(P>p\) and \(P\in \varPi _{0}\), we say \(\mathbb{T}\) is a positive-direction CCTS;
- \((b)\) :
-
if for any \(q<0\), there exists a number \(Q< q\) and \(Q\in \varPi _{0}\), we say \(\mathbb{T}\) is a negative-direction CCTS.
- \((c)\) :
-
if \(\pm \tau \in \varPi _{0}\), we say \(\mathbb{T}\) is a bi-direction CCTS;
- \((d)\) :
-
we say \(\mathbb{T}\) is an oriented-direction CCTS if \(\mathbb{T}\) is a positive-direction CCTS or a negative-direction CCTS.
Example 2.1
Consider the following oriented-direction CCTS:
One can observe that \(\mathbb{T}_{1}\) is a positive-direction CCTS and \(\mathbb{T}_{2}\) is a negative-direction CCTS with translation number \(a+b\), but they are not invariant under translations of time scales (i.e., periodic time scales) in the sense of Definition 1.1 from [10] because \(\inf \mathbb{T}_{1}= \sup \mathbb{T}_{2}=0\).
Remark 2.1
In fact, from [11], one can observe that CCTS can include the concept of periodic time scales which were first proposed by Kaufmann and Raffoul.
Remark 2.2
From Definition 2.1, if \(\mathbb{T}\) is a complete-closed time scale, i.e., there exists some \(\tau \neq 0\) such that \(\mathbb{T} ^{\tau }\subseteq \mathbb{T}\) (i.e., \((\mathbb{T}^{\tau })^{-\tau } \subseteq \mathbb{T}^{-\tau }\)), then one has \(\mathbb{T}\subseteq \mathbb{T}^{-\tau }\), i.e., \(\mathbb{T}\cap \mathbb{T}^{-\tau }= \mathbb{T}\), and vice versa.
According to Remark 2.2, one can obtain the following equivalent definition of CCTS immediately.
Definition 2.2
We say \(\mathbb{T}\) is called a complete-closed time scale \(\mathrm{(CCTS)}\) if
We say \(\tilde{\varPi }_{0}\) is the complete-closedness translation number set of CCTS.
Let \(\varPi :=\{\tau \in \mathbb{R}:\mathbb{T}_{\tau }\neq \emptyset \} \neq \{0\}\), where \(\mathbb{T}_{\tau }=\mathbb{T}\cap \mathbb{T}^{ \tau }\), \(\mathbb{T}^{\tau }:=\mathbb{T}+\tau =\{t+\tau :\forall t \in \mathbb{T}\}\).
In the following, we provide a lemma to guarantee that one can abstract a complete-closed time scale from an arbitrary time scale \(\mathbb{T}\).
Lemma 2.1
Let \(\widetilde{\varPi }\subseteq \varPi \) and \(\widetilde{\varPi }\notin \{\{0\},\emptyset \}\) be closed with respect to additive operation. If \(\bigcap_{\tau \in \widetilde{\varPi }}\mathbb{T}_{\tau } \notin \{\{0\},\emptyset \}\), then \(\bigcap_{\tau \in \widetilde{\varPi }}\mathbb{T}_{\tau }\) is a complete-closed time scale.
Proof
We consider the following family of sets \(\mathscr{C}= \{ \bigcap_{\tau \in A}\mathbb{T}_{\tau }:A\subset \widetilde{\varPi } \} \). Let \(\bigcap_{\tau \in \widetilde{\varPi }}\mathbb{T}_{\tau }:=\mathbb{T} _{0}\). Obviously, \(\mathbb{T}_{0}\neq \emptyset \) implies that \(\mathbb{T}_{0}\) is the minimal element in the family of sets \(\mathscr{C}\), and for any \(\tau _{0}\in \widetilde{\varPi }\), we obtain
Since \((\widetilde{\varPi },+)\) is closed with respect to additive operation, then \(\widetilde{\varPi }+\tau _{0}:=\{\tau +\tau _{0}: \forall \tau \in \widetilde{\varPi }\}\subseteq \tilde{\varPi }\). Hence, we obtain \(\bigcap_{\tau \in \widetilde{\varPi }}\mathbb{T}^{\tau +\tau _{0}}= \bigcap_{\tau \in \widetilde{\varPi }+\tau _{0}}\mathbb{T}^{\tau }\supseteq \bigcap_{\tau \in \widetilde{\varPi }}\mathbb{T}^{\tau }\supset \bigcap_{\tau \in \widetilde{\varPi }}\mathbb{T}_{\tau } \). Obviously, one can also observe that \(\mathbb{T}^{\tau _{0}}\supset \mathbb{T}_{\tau _{0}} \supset \bigcap_{\tau \in \widetilde{\varPi }}\mathbb{T}_{\tau }\), so it follows from (2.3) that \(\mathbb{T}_{0}\cap \mathbb{T}_{0}^{\tau _{0}}=\bigcap_{\tau \in \widetilde{\varPi }}\mathbb{T}_{\tau }=\mathbb{T} _{0}\), which implies that \(\bigcap_{\tau \in \widetilde{\varPi }}\mathbb{T} _{\tau }\) is a complete-closed time scale according to Definition 2.2. This completes the proof. □
From Lemma 2.1, we obtain the following corollary directly.
Corollary 2.1
Let \(\widetilde{\varPi }\subseteq \varPi \) and the pair \((\widetilde{\varPi },+)\) be an Abelian group. If \(\bigcap_{\tau \in \widetilde{\varPi }}\mathbb{T} _{\tau }\notin \{\{0\},\emptyset \}\), then \(\bigcap_{\tau \in \widetilde{\varPi }}\mathbb{T}_{\tau }\) is a bi-direction CCTS.
Example 2.2
Let \(\mathbb{T}= \{-2k,2k+1,k\in \mathbb{N} \}\cup \{ \frac{2}{3},\frac{3}{4},\frac{n}{n+1},n\in \mathbb{Z}^{+}\}\). For this time scale, we obtain \(\varPi ^{*}=\{\tilde{\varPi }_{1},\tilde{\varPi }_{2}, \tilde{\varPi }_{2},\tilde{\varPi }_{4}\}\subset \varPi \), where
We calculate that
and \(\tilde{\varPi }_{2}\) is not closed with respect to additive operation. Hence, \(\tilde{\varPi }_{1}\), \(\tilde{\varPi }_{2}\) does not satisfy Lemma 2.1. Further,
and \(\tilde{\varPi }_{3}\) and \(\tilde{\varPi }_{4}\) are closed with respect to additive operation, and according to Lemma 2.1, we obtain \(\bigcap_{\tau \in \tilde{\varPi }_{3}}\mathbb{T}_{\tau }\) and \(\bigcap_{\tau \in \tilde{\varPi }_{4}}\mathbb{T}_{\tau }\) are CCTS. In fact, through calculation, for any \(\tau _{3}\in \tilde{\varPi }_{4}\) and \(\tau _{4}\in \tilde{\varPi }_{3}\), one can easily obtain that \(\mathbb{T}_{1*}^{\tau _{3}}\subseteq \mathbb{T}_{1*}\) and \(\mathbb{T}_{2*}^{\tau _{4}}\subseteq \mathbb{T}_{2*}\).
Example 2.3
Let \(\mathbb{T}= (\bigcup_{k=-\infty }^{+\infty }[2k,2k+1] )\cup \{2n+1+\frac{n}{n+1},n\in \mathbb{Z}^{+} \}\cup \{2n+ \frac{n}{1-n},n\in \mathbb{Z}^{-} \}\). For this time scale, we obtain \(\varPi ^{*}=\{\tilde{\varPi }_{1},\tilde{\varPi }_{2},\tilde{\varPi }_{3} \}\subset \varPi \), where
We calculate that
and \(\tilde{\varPi }_{1}\) is an Abelian group. According to Corollary 2.1, \(\bigcap_{\tau \in \tilde{\varPi }_{1}}\mathbb{T}_{\tau }\) is a bi-direction CCTS. In fact, through calculation, we see that \(\bigcap_{\tau \in \tilde{\varPi }_{1}}\mathbb{T}_{\tau }\) is actually a bi-direction CCTS.
Let τ be a number and \(A_{\tau }^{\varepsilon }\) be a subset of \(\mathbb{R}\), A̅ denotes the closure of the set A, and we set the time scales:
and define the distance between two time scales, \(\overline{ \mathbb{T}\backslash A_{\tau }^{\varepsilon }}\) and \(\mathbb{T}^{ \tau }\), by
where I is an infinite index set while
Definition 2.3
([33])
We say that \(\mathbb{T}\) is an almost-complete-closed time scale \(\mathrm{(ACCTS)}\) if for any given \(\varepsilon _{1}>0\), there exist a constant \(l(\varepsilon _{1})>0\) such that each interval of length \(l(\varepsilon _{1})\) contains a \(\tau (\varepsilon _{1})\) and sets \(A_{\tau }^{\varepsilon _{1}}\) such that
i.e., for any \(\varepsilon _{1}>0\), the following set
is relatively dense in Π. Here, τ is called the \(\varepsilon _{1}\)-translation number of \(\mathbb{T}\), \(l(\varepsilon _{1})\) is called the inclusion length of \(\mathrm{E}\{\mathbb{T}, \varepsilon _{1}\}\), and \(\mathrm{E}\{\mathbb{T},\varepsilon _{1}\}\) the \(\varepsilon _{1}\)-translation set of \(\mathbb{T}\), \(A_{\tau }^{ \varepsilon _{1}}\) is called the \(\varepsilon _{1}\)-improper set of \(\mathbb{T}\), \(\mathscr{R}_{\mathbb{T}}(\tau ,\varepsilon _{1}):= \mathbb{T}\cap (\bigcup_{\tau \in \varPi _{\varepsilon _{1}}}\overline{ \mathbb{T}^{-\tau }\backslash A_{-\tau }^{\varepsilon _{1}}})\) the \(\varepsilon _{1}\)-main region of \(\mathbb{T}\), where \(A_{-\tau }^{ \varepsilon _{1}}=(A_{\tau }^{\varepsilon _{1}})^{-\tau }:=\{a-\tau :a \in A_{\tau }^{\varepsilon _{1}}\}\). Furthermore, we can describe it in detail as follows:
- \((a)\) :
-
if for any \(p>0\), there exists a number \(P>p\) and \(\tau \in \mathrm{E}\{\mathbb{T},\varepsilon _{1}\}\cap (P,+\infty )\), then we say \(\mathbb{T}\) is a positive-direction ACCTS;
- \((b)\) :
-
if for any \(q<0\), there exists a number \(Q< q\) and \(\tau \in \mathrm{E}\{\mathbb{T},\varepsilon _{1}\}\cap (-\infty ,Q)\), then we say \(\mathbb{T}\) is a negative-direction ACCTS;
- \((c)\) :
-
for any \(p>0\), \(q<0\), there exist numbers \(Q< q\), \(P>p\) and \(\pm \tau \in \mathrm{E}\{\mathbb{T},\varepsilon _{1}\}\cap ((- \infty ,Q)\cup (P,+\infty ) )\), then we say \(\mathbb{T}\) is a bi-direction ACCTS;
- \((d)\) :
-
we say \(\mathbb{T}\) is an oriented-direction ACCTS if \(\mathbb{T}\) is a positive-direction ACCTS or a negative-direction ACCTS.
Remark 2.3
Definition 2.3 generalizes Definition 2.1. In fact, if we let \(\varepsilon _{1}\rightarrow 0\) in Definition 2.3, then there exists \(A_{\tau }^{0}=\mathbb{T}\backslash \mathbb{T}^{\tau }\) such that \(d(\mathbb{T}\backslash A_{\tau }^{0},\mathbb{T}^{\tau })=0\), which implies that \(\mathbb{T}^{\tau }\subseteq \mathbb{T}\). In fact, one can observe that if \(\mathbb{T}=\mathbb{T}^{\tau }\), then the 0-improper set \(A_{\tau }^{0}=\emptyset \), i.e., \(\mathbb{T}\) is a bi-direction CCTS; if \(\mathbb{T}^{\tau }\subset \mathbb{T}\), then \(A_{\tau }^{0}=\mathbb{T}\backslash \mathbb{T}^{\tau }\neq \emptyset \), i.e., \(\mathbb{T}\) is an oriented-direction CCTS.
Next, we provide some sufficient and necessary conditions to guarantee that a time scale is bi-direction CCTS or ACCTS.
Lemma 2.2
A time scale is a bi-direction CCTS if and only if there exists a 0-improper set \(A_{\tau }^{0}\) such that \(A_{\tau }^{0}= \emptyset \).
Proof
If \(\mathbb{T}\) is a bi-direction CCTS, then there exists a set \(\tilde{\varPi }_{0}=\{\tau \in \mathbb{R}: \mathbb{T}^{\tau }\cup \mathbb{T}^{-\tau }\subseteq \mathbb{T}\}\neq \{0\}\), so \(\mathbb{T} ^{\tau }\subseteq \mathbb{T}\). For any \(t\in \mathbb{T}\), we have \(t-\tau \in \mathbb{T}^{-\tau }\subseteq \mathbb{T}\), thus, \(t\in \mathbb{T}^{\tau }\), so we obtain \(\mathbb{T}\subseteq \mathbb{T}^{\tau }\). Hence, \(\mathbb{T}=\mathbb{T}^{\tau }\). From Definition 2.3, we can take the 0-improper set \(A_{\tau }^{0}= \mathbb{T}\backslash \mathbb{T}^{\tau }=\emptyset \).
From Definition 2.3, if the 0-improper set of \(\mathbb{T}\) is empty, i.e., \(A_{\tau }^{0}=\emptyset \), then \(d(\mathbb{T}, \mathbb{T}^{\tau })=0\) with \(\tau \neq 0\), which implies that \(\mathbb{T}=\mathbb{T}^{\tau }\), so for any \(t\in \mathbb{T}\), we have \(t+\tau \in \mathbb{T}^{\tau }=\mathbb{T}\), i.e., \(t\in \mathbb{T} ^{-\tau }\), thus, \(\mathbb{T}\subseteq \mathbb{T}^{-\tau }\). Furthermore, for any \(t\in \mathbb{T}^{-\tau }\), we have \(t+\tau \in \mathbb{T}=\mathbb{T}^{\tau }\), so \(t\in \mathbb{T}\), i.e., \(\mathbb{T}^{-\tau }\subseteq \mathbb{T}\). Hence, \(\mathbb{T}= \mathbb{T}^{-\tau }\), i.e., \(\mathbb{T}\) is a bi-direction CCTS. This completes the proof. □
Lemma 2.3
A time scale is an almost-periodic time scale if and only if there exists ε-improper set \(A_{\tau }^{\varepsilon }\) such that \(\mu _{\Delta }(A_{\tau }^{\varepsilon })<\varepsilon \).
Proof
Assume that there exists the ε-improper set of \(\mathbb{T}\) such that \(\mu _{\Delta }(A_{\tau }^{\varepsilon })< \varepsilon \), and we can take \(A_{\tau }^{\varepsilon }=\mathbb{T} \backslash \mathbb{T}^{\tau }\), then it follows from \(d(\mathbb{T} \backslash A_{\tau }^{\varepsilon },\mathbb{T}^{\tau })<\varepsilon \) that \(d(\mathbb{T},\mathbb{T}^{\tau })=\max \{d(\mathbb{T}\backslash A_{\tau }^{\varepsilon },\mathbb{T}^{\tau }), \mu _{\Delta }(A_{\tau } ^{\varepsilon }) \}<\varepsilon \), i.e., \(\mathbb{T}\) is an almost-periodic time scale.
If \(\mathbb{T}\) is an almost-periodic time scale, for any \(\tau \in \varPi _{\varepsilon }\), let \(A_{\tau }^{\varepsilon }=\mathbb{T} \backslash \mathbb{T}^{\tau }\), and we can obtain \(\mu _{\Delta }(A _{\tau }^{\varepsilon })\leq d(\mathbb{T},\mathbb{T}^{\tau })<\varepsilon \). This completes the proof. □
Lemma 2.4
A time scale is an oriented-direction ACCTS if and only if there exists a ε-improper set \(A_{\tau }^{\varepsilon }\) such that \(\mu _{\Delta }(A_{\tau }^{\varepsilon })>0\).
Proof
If a time scale is ACCTS, from Definition 2.3, we can obtain that \(\mu _{\Delta }(A_{\tau }^{\varepsilon })\geq 0\). By Lemma 2.2, one can take \(A_{\tau }^{0}=\emptyset \) such that \(\mu _{\Delta }(A_{\tau }^{0})=0\) if and only if \(\mathbb{T}\) is bi-direction CCTS. Hence, there exists an ε-improper set \(A_{\tau }^{\varepsilon }\) such that \(\mu _{\Delta }(A_{\tau }^{\varepsilon })>0\) if a time scale is ACCTS.
If there exists an ε-improper set \(A_{\tau }^{\varepsilon }\) such that \(\mu _{\Delta }(A_{\tau }^{\varepsilon })>0\), according to Definition 2.3, \(\mathbb{T}\) is an oriented-direction ACCTS. This completes the proof. □
Remark 2.4
From the types of time scales introduced in the literature [11], we provide a new inclusion relation of time scales (see Fig. 1).
3 Weighted piecewise pseudo-double-almost-periodic functions
Throughout this paper, by using the same notations and definitions in Sect. 3 in [33], we will establish some fundamental results of WPDAP and WPDAP0.
In what follows, we shall assume that \(\mathbb{T}\) is an almost-complete-closed time scale and denote by \(\mathbb{X}\) a Banach space; let \(\mathfrak{B}\) be the set consisting of all sequences \(\{t_{k}\}_{k\in \mathbb{Z}}\) such that \(\theta =\inf_{k\in \mathbb{Z}}(t_{k+1}-t_{k})>0\). For \(\{t_{k}\}_{k\in \mathbb{Z}}\in \mathfrak{B}\), let \(\operatorname{BPC}_{\mathit{rd}}(\mathbb{T},\mathbb{X})\) be the space formed by all bounded rd-piecewise continuous functions \(\phi :\mathbb{T}\rightarrow \mathbb{X}\) such that \(\phi (\cdot )\) is continuous at t for any \(t\notin \{t_{k}\}_{k \in \mathbb{Z}}\) and \(\phi (t_{k})=\phi (t_{k}^{-})\) for all \(k\in \mathbb{Z}\); let Ω be a set of \(\mathbb{X}\) and \(\operatorname{BPC}_{\mathit{rd}}(\mathbb{T}\times \varOmega ,\mathbb{X})\) be the space formed by all bounded piecewise continuous functions \(\phi : \mathbb{T}\times \varOmega \rightarrow \mathbb{X}\) such that for any \(x\in \varOmega \), \(\phi (\cdot ,x)\in \operatorname{BPC}_{\mathit{rd}}( \mathbb{T},\mathbb{X})\) and for any \(t\in \mathbb{T}\), \(\phi (t,\cdot )\) is continuous at \(x\in \varOmega \).
Definition 3.1
([33])
We say \(\varphi :\mathbb{T}\rightarrow \mathbb{X}\) is rd-piecewise continuous with respect to a sequence \(\{t_{k}\}\subset \mathbb{T}\) which satisfy \(t_{k}< t_{k+1}\), \(k\in \mathbb{Z}\), if \(\varphi (t)\) is continuous on \([t_{k},t_{k+1})_{\mathbb{T}}\) and rd-continuous on \(\mathbb{T}\backslash \{t_{k}\}\). Further, \([t_{k},t_{k+1})_{ \mathbb{T}}\) are called intervals of continuity of the function \(\varphi (t)\).
Similarly, one can define a class of ld-piecewise continuous functions. For convenience, we denote the space of all rd-piecewise continuous functions \(\operatorname{PC}_{ \mathit{rd}}(\mathbb{T},\mathbb{X})\) and \(\operatorname{PC}_{\mathit{rd}} ^{\varepsilon }(\mathbb{T},\mathbb{X}):=\{f\vert _{\mathscr{R}_{\mathbb{T}}( \tau ,\varepsilon )}:f\in \operatorname{PC}_{\mathit{rd}}(\mathbb{T}, \mathbb{X})\}\).
Now, we introduce some definitions which will be used to introduce the concept of weighted piecewise pseudo-double-almost-periodic functions on ACCTS. Let \(\mathfrak{B}^{\varepsilon }= \{\{t_{k_{i},\varepsilon }\}\subset \{t_{k}\}:t_{k_{i}}\in \mathscr{R}_{\mathbb{T}}(\tau , \varepsilon ), t_{k_{i},\varepsilon }< t_{k_{i+1},\varepsilon }, i \in \mathbb{Z}, \lim_{i\rightarrow \infty }t_{k_{i},\varepsilon }=\infty \} \).
Definition 3.2
([33])
Let \(\{t_{k_{i},\varepsilon }\}\in \mathfrak{B}^{\varepsilon }\), \(i \in \mathbb{Z}\). We say \(\{t_{k_{i},\varepsilon }^{j}\}\) is a ε-derived sequence of \(\{t_{k_{i},\varepsilon }\}\) where \(t_{k_{i},\varepsilon }^{j}=t_{{k_{i+j},\varepsilon }}-t_{k_{i}, \varepsilon }\), \(i,j\in \mathbb{Z} \).
Definition 3.3
([33])
For any \(\varepsilon _{2}>\varepsilon _{1}>0\), let \(\varGamma \subset \varPi _{\varepsilon _{1}}\) be a set of real numbers and \(\{t_{k_{i}, \varepsilon _{1}}\}\in \mathfrak{B}^{\varepsilon _{1}}\). We say \(\{t_{k_{i},\varepsilon _{1}}^{j}\}\), \(i,j\in \mathbb{Z}\) is equipotentially double-almost-periodic on an almost-complete-closed time scale \(\mathbb{T}\) if for \(r\in \varGamma \), there exists at least one integer q such that
In the following, we introduce the concept of piecewise continuous double-almost-periodic functions on ACCTS:
Definition 3.4
([33])
Let \(\mathbb{T}\) be an almost-complete-closed time scale and assume that \(\{t_{k_{i},\varepsilon _{1}}\}\in \mathfrak{B}^{\varepsilon _{1}}\) satisfying the \(\varepsilon _{1}\)-derived sequence \(\{t_{k_{i}, \varepsilon _{1}}^{j}\}\), \(i,j\in \mathbb{Z}\), is equipotentially almost-periodic. We call a function \(\varphi \in \operatorname{PC}_{ \mathit{rd}}^{\varepsilon _{1}}(\mathbb{T},\mathbb{R}^{n})\) double-almost-periodic if:
-
(i)
for any \(\varepsilon >0\), there is a positive number \(\delta =\delta (\varepsilon )\) such that if the points \(t^{\prime }\) and \(t^{\prime \prime }\) belong to the same interval of continuity and \(t^{\prime },t^{\prime \prime } \in \mathscr{R}_{\mathbb{T}}(\tau ,\varepsilon _{1})\backslash \mathfrak{B}^{\varepsilon _{1}}\), \(\vert t^{\prime }-t^{\prime \prime }\vert <\delta \), then \(\Vert \varphi (t^{\prime })-\varphi (t^{\prime \prime })\Vert <\varepsilon \);
-
(ii)
for any \(\varepsilon _{2}>\varepsilon _{1}>0\), there is a relatively dense set Γ of \(\varepsilon _{2}\)-almost-periods such that if \(\tau \in \varGamma \subset \varPi _{\varepsilon _{1}}\), then \(\Vert \varphi (t+\tau )-\varphi (t)\Vert <\varepsilon _{2}\) for all \(t\in \mathscr{R}_{\mathbb{T}}(\tau ,\varepsilon _{1})\) which satisfy the condition \(\vert t-t_{k_{i},\varepsilon _{1}}\vert >\varepsilon _{2}\), \(i\in \mathbb{Z}\).
We denote by \(\operatorname{DAP}(\mathbb{T},\mathbb{X})\) the space of all rd-piecewise double-almost-periodic functions. Obviously, for any fixed \(\varepsilon >0\), the space \(\operatorname{DAP}^{\varepsilon }( \mathbb{T},\mathbb{X}):=\{f\vert _{\mathscr{R}_{\mathbb{T}}(\tau ,\varepsilon )}:f\in \operatorname{DAP}(\mathbb{T},\mathbb{X})\}\) endowed with norm \(\Vert \phi \Vert _{\varepsilon }= \sup_{t\in \mathscr{R}_{\mathbb{T}}(\tau ,\varepsilon )}\Vert \phi (t)\Vert \) for any \(\phi \in \operatorname{DAP}^{\varepsilon }(\mathbb{T},\mathbb{X})\) is a Banach space. We also denote by \(\operatorname{UPC}(\mathbb{T}, \mathbb{X})\) the space of all functions \(\phi \in \operatorname{PC}_{ \mathit{rd}}(\mathbb{T},\mathbb{X})\) such that ϕ satisfies the condition (i) in Definition 3.4 and \(\operatorname{UPC}^{\varepsilon }(\mathbb{T},\mathbb{X}):=\{f\vert _{\mathscr{R}_{\mathbb{T}}(\tau ,\varepsilon )}:f\in \operatorname{UPC}(\mathbb{T},\mathbb{X})\}\). Now \(\operatorname{BPC}_{ \mathit{rd}}(\mathbb{T},\mathbb{X})\) denotes the space of all bounded rd-piecewise functions and \(\operatorname{BPC}^{\varepsilon } _{\mathit{rd}}(\mathbb{T},\mathbb{X}):=\{f\vert _{\mathscr{R}_{\mathbb{T}}( \tau ,\varepsilon )}:f\in \operatorname{BPC}_{\mathit{rd}}(\mathbb{T}, \mathbb{X})\}\).
Similarly, we can also introduce the concept of uniformly piecewise double-almost-periodic functions on almost-complete-closed time scales as follows:
Definition 3.5
([33])
Let \(\mathbb{T}\) be an almost-complete-closed time scale and assume that \(\{t_{k_{i},\varepsilon _{1}}\}\in \mathfrak{B}^{\varepsilon _{1}}\) satisfying the \(\varepsilon _{1}\)-derived sequence \(\{t_{k_{i}, \varepsilon _{1}}^{j}\}\), \(i,j\in \mathbb{Z}\), is equipotentially double-almost-periodic. We call a function \(f\in \operatorname{PC}_{ \mathit{rd}}^{\varepsilon _{1}}(\mathbb{T}\times \varOmega ,\mathbb{X})\) rd-piecewise double-almost-periodic in t uniformly in \(x\in \varOmega \) if:
-
(i)
for each compact set \(K\subseteq \varOmega \), \(\{f(\cdot ,x):x \in K\}\) is uniformly bounded;
-
(ii)
for any \(\varepsilon >0\), there is a positive number \(\delta =\delta (\varepsilon )\) such that if the points \(t^{\prime }\) and \(t^{\prime \prime }\) belong to the same interval of continuity and \(t^{\prime },t^{\prime \prime } \in \mathscr{R}_{\mathbb{T}}(\tau ,\varepsilon _{1})\backslash \mathfrak{B}^{\varepsilon _{1}}\), \(\vert t^{\prime }-t^{\prime \prime }\vert <\delta \), then \(\Vert f(t^{\prime },x)-f(t^{\prime \prime },x)\Vert <\varepsilon \) for all \(x\in K\);
-
(iii)
for any \(\varepsilon _{2}>\varepsilon _{1}>0\), there is relative dense set Γ of \(\varepsilon _{2}\)-almost-periods such that if \(\tau \in \varGamma \subset \varPi _{\varepsilon _{1}}\), then \(\Vert f(t+\tau ,x)-f(t,x)\Vert <\varepsilon _{2}\) for all \(t\in \mathscr{R} _{\mathbb{T}}(\tau ,\varepsilon _{1})\), \(x\in K\), which satisfy the condition \(\vert t-t_{k_{i},\varepsilon _{1}}\vert >\varepsilon _{2}\), \(i\in \mathbb{Z}\).
Now, let U be the set of all functions \(\rho :\mathbb{T}\rightarrow (0,\infty )\) which are positive and locally Δ-integrable over \(\mathbb{T}\) and let \(U^{\varepsilon }:= \{\rho \vert _{\mathscr{R} _{\mathbb{T}}(\tau ,\varepsilon )}:\rho \in U\}\). For a given \(r_{1},r_{2}\in \mathscr{R}_{\mathbb{T}}(\tau ,\varepsilon )\), \(r _{2}>r_{1}\), we set
for each \(\tilde{\rho }\in U^{\varepsilon }\). Let \(D_{r}:=r_{2}-r_{1}\) and \(\tilde{U}_{\infty }^{\varepsilon }:= \{\tilde{\rho }\in U ^{\varepsilon }:\lim_{D_{r}\rightarrow \infty }m(r_{1},r_{2}, \tilde{\rho })=\infty \} \),
It is clear that for any \(\varepsilon >0\), \(U_{B}^{\varepsilon } \subset U_{\infty }^{\varepsilon }\subset U^{\varepsilon }\). Now, for \(\tilde{\rho }\in U_{\infty }^{\varepsilon }\), by (3.1), we define
Similarly, we define
We are now ready to introduce the sets \(\operatorname{WPDAP}^{\varepsilon }( \mathbb{T},\tilde{\rho })\) and \(\operatorname{WPDAP}^{\varepsilon }( \mathbb{T}\times \mathbb{X},\tilde{\rho })\) of weighted pseudo-double-almost-periodic functions on ACCTS:
Theorem 3.1
For any \(r\in \varPi _{\varepsilon }\) and a set \(\{t_{n}\}:=\varLambda ^{*} \subset [t_{0}-r,t_{0}+r)_{\mathbb{T}}\), where \(t_{0}\in \mathbb{T}\), there exists \(C_{1}(\varLambda ^{*}), C_{2}(\varLambda ^{*})>0\) such that
where \(\underline{\tilde{\rho }}(t_{j})=\inf \{\tilde{\rho }(t):t \in [t_{j},t_{j+1})_{\mathbb{T}} \}\) and \(\bar{\tilde{\rho }}(t _{j})=\sup \{\tilde{\rho }(t):t\in [t_{j},t_{j+1})_{\mathbb{T}} \}\).
Proof
Since \(\tilde{\rho }:\mathbb{T}\rightarrow (0,\infty )\) is locally Δ-integrable over \(\mathbb{T}\), then there exists a partition \(\varLambda ^{*}\) as follows
such that
Denote \(\delta (\varLambda ^{*}):=\inf (t_{j+1}-t_{j})\), then
which implies that
so, obviously, we have
This completes the proof. □
Definition 3.6
In Theorem 3.1, the finite set \(\varLambda ^{*}\) is said to be a discretization partition of \(m(r,\tilde{\rho },t_{0})\) and \(\sum_{t_{j}\in [t_{0}-r,t_{0}+r)_{\mathbb{T}}}\underline{ \tilde{\rho }}(t_{j})\) and \(\sum_{t_{j}\in [t_{0}-r,t_{0}+r)_{ \mathbb{T}}}\bar{\tilde{\rho }}(t_{j})\) are called the equivalent discrete weights under the discretization partition \(\varLambda ^{*}\).
Lemma 3.1
Let \(\phi \in \operatorname{BPC}^{\varepsilon _{1}}_{\mathit{rd}}(\mathbb{T}, \mathbb{X})\). Then, \(\phi \in \operatorname{WPDAP}^{\varepsilon _{1}}_{0}( \mathbb{T},\tilde{\rho })\) where \(\tilde{\rho }\in U_{\infty }^{ \varepsilon _{1}}\) if and only if for every \(\varepsilon _{2}> \varepsilon _{1}>0\),
and \(M_{r_{1},r_{2},\varepsilon _{2}}(\phi ):= \{t\in [r_{1},r_{2}]_{ \mathscr{R}_{\mathbb{T}}(\tau ,\varepsilon _{1})}:\Vert \phi (t)\Vert \geq \varepsilon _{2} \}\).
Proof
\((a)\) Necessity. For contradiction, suppose that there exist \(\varepsilon _{2}^{0}>\varepsilon _{1}^{0}>0\) such that
Then, there exists \(\delta >0\) such that
where \(r_{1}^{n_{1}}\leq \lceil r_{n_{1}}\rceil :=n_{1}\), \(r_{2}^{n_{2}} \geq \lfloor r_{2}^{n_{2}}\rfloor :=n_{2}\) and \(r_{1}^{n_{1}}\leq r _{2}^{n_{2}}\), \(r_{1}^{n_{1}},r_{2}^{n_{2}}\in \mathscr{R}_{\mathbb{T}}( \tau ,\varepsilon _{1}^{0})\).
Thus, we have
and this contradicts the assumption.
\((b)\) Sufficiency. Let \(M:= \sup_{t\in \mathscr{R}_{\mathbb{T}}(\tau ,\varepsilon _{1})}\Vert \phi (t) \Vert <\infty \). Assume that
Then, for every \(\varepsilon _{2}>\varepsilon _{1}>0\), there exists \(r_{0}>0\) such that for every \(D_{r}>r_{0}\),
Now, we have
Therefore, it follows that
that is, \(\phi \in \operatorname{WPDAP}^{\varepsilon _{1}}_{0}(\mathbb{T}, \tilde{\rho })\). This completes the proof. □
From the proof of Lemma 3.1, the following corollary is immediate.
Corollary 3.1
Let \(\phi \in \operatorname{BPC}^{\varepsilon _{1}}_{\mathit{rd}}(\mathbb{T}, \mathbb{X})\). Then, \(\phi \in \operatorname{WPDAP}^{\varepsilon _{1}}_{0}( \mathbb{T},\tilde{\rho })\) where \(\rho \in U_{\infty }^{\varepsilon _{1}}\) if and only if for every \(\varepsilon _{2}>\varepsilon _{1}>0\),
and \(M_{r_{1},r_{2},\varepsilon _{2}}(\phi ):= \{t\in [r_{1},r_{2}]_{ \mathscr{R}_{\mathbb{T}}(\tau ,\varepsilon _{1})}:\Vert \phi (t)\Vert \geq \varepsilon _{2} \}\).
Lemma 3.2
Let \(\mathbb{T}\) be an almost-complete-closed time scale. Then, \(\operatorname{WPDAP}^{\varepsilon }_{0}(\mathbb{T},\tilde{\rho })\) is a translation-almost-closed set of \(\operatorname{BPC}^{\varepsilon }_{ \mathit{rd}}(\mathbb{T},\mathbb{X})\) if \(\tilde{\rho }\in U^{\varepsilon }_{\infty }\), i.e., \(\phi (t+s):=\theta _{s}\phi \in \operatorname{WPDAP} ^{\varepsilon }_{0}(\mathbb{T},\tilde{\rho })\), \(t\in \mathscr{R}_{ \mathbb{T}}(\tau ,\varepsilon )\), \(s\in \varPi _{\varepsilon }\), if \(\tilde{\rho }\in U_{\infty }^{\varepsilon }\).
Proof
For \(\phi \in \operatorname{WPDAP}^{\varepsilon _{1}}_{0}(\mathbb{T}, \tilde{\rho })\), \(\varepsilon _{2}>\varepsilon _{1}>0\), \(r_{1},r_{2} \in \mathscr{R}_{\mathbb{T}}(\tau ,\varepsilon _{1})\), we have
where \(\tilde{r}_{1},\tilde{r}_{2}\in \mathscr{R}_{\mathbb{T}}(\tau , \varepsilon _{1})\) and \(\tilde{r}_{1}< r_{1}+s\) and \(\tilde{r}_{2}>r _{2}+s\). Let \(D_{\tilde{r}}:=\tilde{r}_{2}-\tilde{r}_{1}\), so \(D_{r}\rightarrow +\infty \) implies \(D_{\tilde{r}}\rightarrow +\infty \).
Hence, it follows that
Since \(\phi \in \operatorname{WPDAP}^{\varepsilon _{1}}_{0}(\mathbb{T}, \tilde{\rho })\), from Lemma 3.1, we have
Further, \(\lim_{D_{r}\rightarrow \infty }{\frac{m(\tilde{r} _{1},\tilde{r}_{2},\tilde{\rho })}{m(r_{1},r_{2},\tilde{\rho })}}=1\), and thus
Again, using Lemma 3.1, one finds \(\theta _{s}\phi \in \operatorname{WPDAP}^{\varepsilon _{1}}_{0}(\mathbb{T},\tilde{\rho })\). This completes the proof. □
Let \(T,P\in \mathfrak{B}^{\varepsilon }\) and let \(s_{\varepsilon }(T \cup P):\mathfrak{B}^{\varepsilon }\rightarrow \mathfrak{B}^{\varepsilon }\) be a map such that the set \(s_{\varepsilon }(T\cup P)\) forms a strictly increasing sequence for any fixed \(\varepsilon >0\). Let \(D\subset \mathscr{R}_{\mathbb{T}}(\tau ,\varepsilon )\), and we introduce the notations \(D^{\xi }=\{t+\xi :t\in D\}\), \(F_{\xi }(D)=D \cap D^{\xi }\). We denote by \(\tilde{\phi }= (\varphi (t),T )\) the element from the space \(\operatorname{PC}_{\mathit{rd}}^{\varepsilon }( \mathbb{T},\mathbb{X})\times \mathfrak{B}^{\varepsilon }\), and for every sequence of real numbers \(\{s_{n}\}\), \(n=1,2,\ldots \) with \(\theta _{s _{n}}\tilde{\phi }\), we consider the sets \(\{\varphi (t+s_{n}),T^{-s _{n}}\}\subset \operatorname{PC}_{\mathit{rd}}^{\varepsilon }\times \mathfrak{B}^{\varepsilon }\), where \(T^{-s_{n}}=\{t_{k_{i}}-s_{n}: i\in \mathbb{Z}, n=1,2,\ldots \} \).
Next, we introduce the convergent form of piecewise functions on almost-complete-closed time scales:
Definition 3.7
(Almost-uniform convergence for piecewise functions)
Let \(\mathbb{T}\) be an almost-complete-closed time scale. The sequence \(\{\tilde{\phi }_{n}\}\), \(\tilde{\phi }_{n}= (\varphi _{n}(t),T_{n} )\in \operatorname{PC}_{\mathit{rd}}^{\varepsilon _{1}}(\mathbb{T}, \mathbb{X})\times \mathfrak{B}^{\varepsilon _{1}}\) is almost-convergent to ϕ̃, \(\tilde{\phi }= (\varphi (t),T )\), \((\varphi (t),T )\in \operatorname{PC}_{\mathit{rd}}^{\varepsilon _{1}}(\mathbb{T},\mathbb{X})\times \mathfrak{B}^{\varepsilon _{1}}\) if and only if for any \(\varepsilon _{2}>\varepsilon _{1}>0\) there exists \(n_{0}>0\) such that \(n\geq n_{0}\) implies
uniformly for \(t\in \mathscr{R}_{\mathbb{T}}(\tau ,\varepsilon _{1}) \backslash F_{\varepsilon _{2}} (s_{\varepsilon _{1}}(T_{n}\cup T) )\), here \(\tilde{d}(\cdot ,\cdot )\) is an arbitrary distance in \(\mathfrak{B}^{\varepsilon _{1}}\).
Remark 3.1
The convergence described by Definition 3.7 is a distinct convergence form on ACCTS, which will contribute to studying approximation of functions under the time scale that is almost the same as each other under translations. Traditionally, researchers analyze functions on complete-closed time scales, which provides no difficulties in introducing and studying functions, especially for some important and basic functions like almost-periodic functions, almost-automorphic functions, and so on, because such functions are defined by their translations on the domain and their domain is at least a complete-closed time scale. However, in the Introduction part of this paper and recent works [32,33,34], ACCTS are a class of necessary and important time variable forms that exist. Obviously, if we let \(\varepsilon _{1}\rightarrow 0\) in Definition 3.7, then one can easily obtain the convergence form for piecewise functions on CCTS.
In view of Definition 3.7, we now introduce the second definition of piecewise continuous double-almost-periodic functions on ACCTS:
Definition 3.8
Let \(\mathbb{T}\) be an almost-complete-closed time scale. The function \(\varphi \in \operatorname{PC}^{\varepsilon }_{\mathit{rd}}(\mathbb{T}, \mathbb{X})\) is said to be rd-piecewise continuous double-almost-periodic with respect to a sequence from the set \(T\in \mathfrak{B}^{\varepsilon }\) if for every sequence of real numbers \(\{s_{m}^{\prime }\}\subset \varPi _{\varepsilon }\) there exists a subsequence \(\{s_{n}\}\), \(s_{n}=s_{m_{n}}^{\prime }\) and a sequence \(\{A_{-s_{n}}\}\) such that the limit set \(\mathbb{T}_{0}\) of \(\{\mathbb{T}^{-s_{n}}\backslash A_{-s_{n}}\}\) exists and \(\theta _{s_{n}}\tilde{\phi }\) is uniformly convergent on \(\operatorname{PC}_{\mathit{rd}}(\mathbb{T}_{0},\mathbb{X}) \times \mathfrak{B}_{0}\), where \(\mathfrak{B}_{0}:=\mathbb{T}_{0} \cap \mathfrak{B}\).
From Definition 3.8, two lemmas below are immediate:
Lemma 3.3
Let \(\phi \in \operatorname{DAP}^{\varepsilon }(\mathbb{T},\mathbb{X})\), then for any \(\varepsilon >0\), the almost-range of ϕ, \(\phi ( \mathscr{R}_{\mathbb{T}}(\tau ,\varepsilon ) )\), is a relatively compact subset of \(\mathbb{X}\).
Lemma 3.4
If \(f=g+\phi \) with \(g\in \operatorname{DAP}^{\varepsilon }(\mathbb{T}, \mathbb{X})\), and \(\phi \in \operatorname{WPDAP}^{\varepsilon }_{0}( \mathbb{T},\rho )\), where \(\tilde{\rho }\in U_{\infty }^{\varepsilon }\), then \(g (\mathscr{R}_{\mathbb{T}}(\tau ,\varepsilon ) ) \subset \overline{f (\mathscr{R}_{\mathbb{T}}(\tau ,\varepsilon ) )}\).
Lemma 3.5
For any \(\varepsilon >0\), one can decompose a weighted piecewise pseudo-double-almost-periodic function according to \(\operatorname{DAP}^{ \varepsilon }\oplus \operatorname{WPDAP}^{\varepsilon }_{0}\) which is unique for any \(\tilde{\rho }\in U_{\infty }^{\varepsilon }\).
Proof
Assume that \(f=g_{1}+\phi _{1}\) and \(f=g_{2}+\phi _{2}\). Then, \((g_{1}-g_{2})+(\phi _{1}-\phi _{2})=0\). Since \(g_{1}-g_{2}\in \operatorname{DAP}^{\varepsilon }(\mathbb{T},\mathbb{X})\), and \(\phi _{1}- \phi _{2}\in \operatorname{WPDAP}^{\varepsilon }_{0}(\mathbb{T}, \tilde{\rho })\), we find that \(g_{1}-g_{2}=0\). Consequently, \(\phi _{1}-\phi _{2}=0\), i.e., \(\phi _{1}=\phi _{2}\). This completes the proof. □
Theorem 3.2
For \(\tilde{\rho }\in U^{\varepsilon }_{\infty }\), \((\operatorname{WPDAP} ^{\varepsilon }(\mathbb{T},\tilde{\rho }),\Vert \cdot \Vert _{\varepsilon })\) is a Banach space for any \(\varepsilon >0\).
Proof
Assume that \(\{f_{n}\}_{n\in \mathbb{N}}\) is a Cauchy sequence in \(\operatorname{WPDAP}^{\varepsilon }(\mathbb{T},\tilde{\rho })\). We can write \(f_{n}=g_{n}+\phi _{n}\) uniquely. Using Lemma 3.4, we have \(\Vert g_{p}-g_{q}\Vert _{\varepsilon }\leq \Vert f_{p}-f_{q}\Vert _{\varepsilon }\), from which we deduce that \(\{g_{n}\}_{n\in \mathbb{N}}\) is a Cauchy sequence in \(\operatorname{DAP}^{\varepsilon }(\mathbb{T},\mathbb{X})\). Hence, \(\phi _{n}=f_{n}-g_{n}\) is a Cauchy sequence in \(\operatorname{WPDAP}^{ \varepsilon }_{0}(\mathbb{T},\tilde{\rho })\). Thus, \(g_{n}\rightarrow g\in \operatorname{DAP}^{\varepsilon }(\mathbb{T},\mathbb{X})\), \(\phi _{n} \rightarrow \phi \in \operatorname{WPDAP}^{\varepsilon }_{0}(\mathbb{T}, \tilde{\rho })\), and finally, \(f_{n}\rightarrow g+\phi \in \operatorname{WPDAP}^{\varepsilon }(\mathbb{T},\tilde{\rho })\). This completes the proof. □
Definition 3.9
Let \(\tilde{\rho }_{1},\tilde{\rho }_{2}\in U^{\varepsilon }_{\infty }\). We say that \(\tilde{\rho }_{1}\) is ε-equivalent to \(\tilde{\rho }_{2}\), written as \(\tilde{\rho }_{1}\sim ^{\varepsilon } \tilde{\rho }_{2}\), if \(\tilde{\rho }_{1}/\tilde{\rho }_{2}\in U_{B} ^{\varepsilon }\).
Theorem 3.3
Let \(\tilde{\rho }_{1},\tilde{\rho }_{2}\in U_{\infty }^{\varepsilon }\). If \(\tilde{\rho }_{1}\sim ^{\varepsilon }\tilde{\rho }_{2}\), then \(\operatorname{WPDAP}^{\varepsilon }(\mathbb{T},\tilde{\rho }_{1})= \operatorname{WPDAP}^{\varepsilon }(\mathbb{T},\tilde{\rho }_{2})\).
Proof
Assume that \(\tilde{\rho }_{1}\sim ^{\varepsilon }\tilde{\rho }_{2}\). Then, there exist \(a,b>0\) such that \(a\tilde{\rho }_{1}\leq \tilde{\rho }_{2}\leq b\tilde{\rho }_{1}\). Thus, for any \(r_{1},r_{2} \in \mathscr{R}_{\mathbb{T}}(\tau ,\varepsilon )\), we have \(am(r_{1},r _{2},\tilde{\rho }_{1})\leq m(r_{1},r_{2},\tilde{\rho }_{2})\leq bm(r _{1},r_{2},\tilde{\rho }_{1}) \), and
This completes the proof. □
Lemma 3.6
If \(g\in \operatorname{DAP}^{\varepsilon }(\mathbb{T}\times \mathbb{X}, \mathbb{X})\) and \(\alpha \in \operatorname{DAP}^{\varepsilon }(\mathbb{T}, \mathbb{X})\), then \(G(t):=g (\cdot ,\alpha (\cdot ) )\in \operatorname{DAP}^{\varepsilon }(\mathbb{T},\mathbb{X})\).
Proof
Let \(T=\{t_{k_{i},\varepsilon }\}\subset \mathfrak{B}^{\varepsilon }\), \(\tilde{\phi }=(g(t,x),T)\in \operatorname{DAP}^{\varepsilon }(\mathbb{T} \times \mathbb{X},\mathbb{X})\times \mathfrak{B}^{\varepsilon }\), and from every sequence \(\{s_{n}\}_{n=1}^{\infty }\subset \varPi _{\varepsilon }\), we can extract a subsequence \(\{\tau _{n}\}_{n=1}^{\infty }\) and a sequence \(\{A_{-\tau _{n}}\}\) such that the limit set \(\mathbb{T}_{0}\) of \(\{\mathbb{T}^{-\tau _{n}}\backslash A_{-\tau _{n}}\}\) exists and
uniformly exists on \(\operatorname{PC}_{\mathit{rd}}^{\varepsilon }( \mathbb{T}_{0}\times \mathbb{X},\mathbb{X})\times \mathfrak{B}^{ \varepsilon }\). Since \(\alpha \in \operatorname{DAP}^{\varepsilon }( \mathbb{T},\mathbb{X})\), we can extract \(\{\tau _{n}^{\prime }\}\subset \{ \tau _{n}\}\) such that
Hence, \(G\in \operatorname{DAP}^{\varepsilon }(\mathbb{T},\mathbb{X})\). This completes the proof. □
Theorem 3.4
Let \(f=g+\phi \in \operatorname{WPDAP}^{\varepsilon }(\mathbb{T}\times \mathbb{X},\tilde{\rho })\), where \(g\in \operatorname{DAP}^{\varepsilon }( \mathbb{T}\times \mathbb{X},\mathbb{X})\), \(\phi \in \operatorname{WPDAP} ^{\varepsilon }_{0}(\mathbb{T}\times \mathbb{X},\tilde{\rho })\), \(\tilde{\rho }\in U_{\infty }^{\varepsilon }\) and the following conditions hold:
-
(i)
\(\{f(t,x):t\in \mathscr{R}_{\mathbb{T}}(\tau ,\varepsilon ),x\in K \}\) is bounded for every bounded subset \(K\subseteq \varOmega \).
-
(ii)
\(f(t,\cdot )\), \(g(t,\cdot )\) are uniformly continuous in each bounded subset of Ω uniformly in \(t\in \mathscr{R}_{ \mathbb{T}}(\tau ,\varepsilon )\).
Then, \(f (\cdot ,h(\cdot ) )\in \operatorname{WPDAP}^{\varepsilon }( \mathbb{T},\tilde{\rho })\) if \(h\in \operatorname{WPDAP}^{\varepsilon }( \mathbb{T},\tilde{\rho })\) and \(h (\mathscr{R}_{\mathbb{T}}(\tau , \varepsilon ) )\subset \varOmega \).
Proof
For any \(\varepsilon _{1}>0\), we have \(f=g+\phi \), where \(g\in \operatorname{DAP}^{\varepsilon _{1}}(\mathbb{T}\times \mathbb{X},\mathbb{X})\) and \(\phi \in \operatorname{WPDAP}^{\varepsilon _{1}}_{0}(\mathbb{T}\times \mathbb{X},\tilde{\rho })\) and \(h=\phi _{1}+\phi _{2}\), where \(\phi _{1}\in \operatorname{DAP}^{\varepsilon _{1}}(\mathbb{T},\mathbb{X})\) and \(\phi _{2}\in \operatorname{WPDAP}^{\varepsilon _{1}}_{0}(\mathbb{T}, \tilde{\rho })\). Hence, the function \(f (\cdot ,h(\cdot ) )\) can be decomposed as
By Lemma 3.6, \(g(\cdot ,\phi _{1}(\cdot ))\in \operatorname{DAP}^{ \varepsilon _{1}}(\mathbb{T},\mathbb{X})\). Now, consider the function
Clearly, \(\varPsi \in \operatorname{BPC}^{\varepsilon _{1}}_{\mathit{rd}}( \mathbb{T},\mathbb{X})\). For Ψ to be in \(\operatorname{WPDAP}^{ \varepsilon _{1}}_{0}(\mathbb{T},\tilde{\rho })\), for any \(\varepsilon _{2}>\varepsilon _{1}>0\), it is sufficient to show that
Let K be a bounded subset of Ω such that \(\phi ( \mathscr{R}_{\mathbb{T}}(\tau ,\varepsilon _{1}) )\subseteq K\), \(\phi _{1} (\mathscr{R}_{\mathbb{T}}(\tau ,\varepsilon _{1}) )\subseteq K\). From (ii), \(f(t,\cdot )\) is uniformly continuous in \(\phi _{1} (\mathscr{R}_{\mathbb{T}}(\tau ,\varepsilon _{1}) )\) uniformly in \(t\in \mathscr{R}_{\mathbb{T}}(\tau ,\varepsilon _{1})\). Hence, for a given \(\varepsilon _{2}>\varepsilon _{1}>0\), there exists \(\delta _{\varepsilon _{2}}>0\) such that \(y_{1},y_{2}\in K\) and \(\Vert y_{1}-y_{2}\Vert <\delta _{\varepsilon _{2}}\) implies that
Thus, for each \(t\in \mathscr{R}_{\mathbb{T}}(\tau ,\varepsilon _{1})\), \(\Vert \phi _{2}(t)\Vert <\delta _{\varepsilon _{2}}\) implies that uniformly in \(t\in \mathscr{R}_{\mathbb{T}}(\tau ,\varepsilon _{1})\),
where \(\phi _{2}(t)=h(t)-\phi _{1}(t)\). For \(r_{1},r_{2}\in \mathscr{R} _{\mathbb{T}}(\tau ,\varepsilon _{1})\), \(r_{2}>r_{1}\), let \(M_{r_{1},r _{2},\delta _{\varepsilon _{2}}}(\phi _{2})=\{t\in [r_{1}, r_{2}]_{ \mathscr{R}_{\mathbb{T}}(\tau ,\varepsilon _{1})}:\Vert \phi _{2}\Vert \geq \delta _{\varepsilon _{2}}\}\), and we obtain
Now, since \(\phi _{2}\in \operatorname{WPDAP}^{\varepsilon _{1}}_{0}( \mathbb{T},\tilde{\rho })\), Lemma 3.1 yields that
which confirms that \(\varPsi \in \operatorname{WPDAP}^{\varepsilon _{1}}_{0}( \mathbb{T},\tilde{\rho })\).
Finally, we will show that \(\phi (\cdot ,\phi _{1}(\cdot ) ) \in \operatorname{WPDAP}^{\varepsilon _{1}}_{0}(\mathbb{T},\tilde{\rho })\). Note that \(f=g+\phi \) and \(g(t,\cdot )\) is uniformly continuous in \(\phi _{1} (\mathscr{R}_{\mathbb{T}}(\tau ,\varepsilon _{1}) )\) uniformly in \(t\in \mathscr{R}_{\mathbb{T}}(\tau ,\varepsilon _{1})\). By assumption (ii), \(f(t,\cdot )\) is uniformly continuous in \(\phi _{1} (\mathscr{R}_{\mathbb{T}}(\tau ,\varepsilon _{1}) )\) uniformly in \(t\in \mathscr{R}_{\mathbb{T}}(\tau ,\varepsilon _{1})\), so is ϕ. Since \(\phi _{1} (\mathscr{R}_{\mathbb{T}}(\tau , \varepsilon _{1}) )\) is relatively compact in \(\mathbb{X}\), for \({\frac{\varepsilon _{2}}{2}}>\varepsilon _{1}>0\), there exists \(\delta _{\varepsilon _{2}}>0\) such that \(\phi _{1} (\mathscr{R}_{ \mathbb{T}}(\tau ,\varepsilon _{1}) )\subset \bigcup_{k=1}^{m}B_{k} ^{\varepsilon _{2}}\), where \(B_{k}^{\varepsilon _{2}}=\{x\in \mathbb{X}: \Vert x-x_{k}\Vert <\delta _{\varepsilon _{2}}\}\) for some \(x_{k}\in \phi _{1} (\mathscr{R}_{\mathbb{T}}(\tau ,\varepsilon _{1}) )\), and
It is easy to see that the set \(U_{k}^{\varepsilon _{2}}:= \{t \in \mathscr{R}_{\mathbb{T}}(\tau ,\varepsilon _{1}):\phi _{1}(t)\in B _{k}^{\varepsilon _{2}} \}\) is open and for any \(r_{1},r_{2}\in \mathscr{R}_{\mathbb{T}}(\tau ,\varepsilon _{1})\), we have \([r_{1},r _{2}]_{\mathscr{R}_{\mathbb{T}}(\tau ,\varepsilon _{1})}\subseteq \bigcup_{k=1}^{m}U_{k}^{\varepsilon _{2}}\). We define \(V_{1}^{ \varepsilon _{2}}=U_{1}^{\varepsilon _{2}}\), \(V_{k}^{\varepsilon _{2}}=U _{k}^{\varepsilon _{2}}\backslash \bigcup_{i=1}^{k-1}U_{i}^{\varepsilon _{2}}\), \(2\leq k\leq m \). Then, it is clear that \(V_{i}^{\varepsilon _{2}}\cap V_{j}^{\varepsilon _{2}}\neq \emptyset \) if \(i\neq j\), \(1\leq i,j\leq m\). Thus, we have
Now, in view of (3.2), it follows that
Thus, we obtain
Since \(\phi \in \operatorname{WPDAP}^{\varepsilon _{1}}_{0}(\mathbb{T}\times \mathbb{X},\tilde{\rho })\) and
from Lemma 3.1 it follows that
Hence, \(\phi (\cdot ,\phi _{1}(\cdot ) )\in \operatorname{WPDAP}_{0} ^{\varepsilon _{1}}(\mathbb{T},\tilde{\rho })\). This completes the proof. □
From Theorem 3.4 the following corollary is immediate:
Corollary 3.2
Let \(f=g+\phi \in \operatorname{WPDAP}^{\varepsilon }(\mathbb{T}, \tilde{\rho })\), where \(\rho \in U_{\infty }^{\varepsilon }\). Assume that f and g are Lipschitz in \(x\in \mathbb{X}\) uniformly in \(t\in \mathscr{R}_{\mathbb{T}}(\tau ,\varepsilon )\). Then, \(f ( \cdot ,h(\cdot ) )\in \operatorname{WPDAP}^{\varepsilon }(\mathbb{T}, \tilde{\rho })\) if \(h\in \operatorname{WPDAP}^{\varepsilon }(\mathbb{T}, \tilde{\rho })\).
Next, we prove the following two lemmas which are useful in establishing our main results.
Lemma 3.7
If \(\varphi (t)\) is double-almost-periodic on ACCTS and for any \(\varepsilon >0\), \(\inf_{i}t_{k_{i},\varepsilon }^{q}= \theta _{\varepsilon }>0\), then \(\{\varphi (t_{k_{i},\varepsilon })\}\) is a double-almost-periodic sequence for \(\{t_{k_{i},\varepsilon }\} \subset \mathfrak{B}^{\varepsilon }\).
Proof
For \(\varepsilon _{1}>0\), we construct a sequence \(\{t_{k_{i}, \varepsilon _{1}}^{\prime }\}\subset \mathscr{R}_{\mathbb{T}}(\tau , \varepsilon _{1})\) satisfying the condition
where \(i\in \mathbb{Z}\). For \(\varepsilon _{2}>\varepsilon _{1}>0\), we choose numbers \(r\in \varPi _{\varepsilon _{1}}\), \(q\in \mathbb{Z}\) such that \(\Vert \varphi (t+r)-\varphi (t)\Vert <\varepsilon _{2}\) and \(\vert t_{k_{i}, \varepsilon _{1}}^{q}-r\vert <\nu \), \(0<\nu <\varepsilon _{2}\), for all \(\vert t-t_{k_{i},\varepsilon _{1}}^{\prime }\vert >\varepsilon _{2}\), \(t\in \mathscr{R} _{\mathbb{T}}(\tau ,\varepsilon _{1})\), \(i\in \mathbb{Z}\). Since \(-\nu < t_{k_{i+q},\varepsilon _{1}}-t_{k_{i},\varepsilon _{1}}-r<\nu \) in view of (3.3), we find that \(0<2\varepsilon _{2}-\nu \leq t_{k _{i+q},\varepsilon _{1}}-t_{k_{i},\varepsilon _{1}}^{\prime }-r<2\varepsilon _{2}+\nu <3\varepsilon _{2}\). Thus, if \(t^{\prime }\), \(t^{\prime \prime }\) belong to the same interval of continuity with \(\vert t^{\prime }-t^{\prime \prime }\vert <3\varepsilon _{2}\) then \(\Vert \varphi (t^{\prime })-\varphi (t^{\prime \prime })\Vert < o(3\varepsilon _{2})\). Now, assuming that \(2o(3\varepsilon _{2})+\varepsilon _{2}<\varepsilon _{2} ^{\prime }<\theta _{\varepsilon _{1}}\), we find
This completes the proof. □
Lemma 3.8
A necessary and sufficient condition for a bounded sequence \(\{a_{n}\}\) to be in \(\operatorname{WPDAP}^{\varepsilon }_{0}(\mathbb{Z}, \tilde{\rho })\) is that there exist a uniformly continuous function \(f\in \operatorname{WPDAP}^{\varepsilon }_{0}(\mathbb{T},\tilde{\rho })\) and a discretization partition \(\{t_{n}\}\subset \mathscr{R}_{\mathbb{T}}( \tau ,\varepsilon )\) such that \(f(t_{n})=a_{n}\), \(n\in \mathbb{Z}\), \(\tilde{\rho }\in U_{B}^{\varepsilon }\).
Proof
Necessity. Let \(r_{1},r_{2}\in \mathscr{R}_{\mathbb{T}}(\tau ,\varepsilon )\), \(r_{2}>r_{1}\), and we partition the interval \([r_{1},r_{2}]_{ \mathscr{R}_{\mathbb{T}}(\tau ,\varepsilon )}\) as follows:
Denote \(\xi =\max_{j}\{r_{j+1}-r_{j}\}\), and define a function
It is obviously uniformly continuous on \(\mathscr{R}_{\mathbb{T}}( \tau ,\varepsilon )\). To show \(f\in \operatorname{WPDAP}_{0}^{\varepsilon }( \mathbb{T},\tilde{\rho })\) it suffice to note that
where \(\bar{\tilde{\rho }}(t_{j})=\sup \{\tilde{\rho }(t):t\in [r _{j},r_{j+1} )_{\mathscr{R}_{\mathbb{T}}(\tau ,\varepsilon )}\}\) and \(\bar{\rho }=\sup_{t\in \mathscr{R}_{\mathbb{T}}(\tau ,\varepsilon )} \tilde{\rho }(t)\).
Sufficiency. For any \(t_{n_{1}}< t_{n_{2}}\), we partition the interval \([t_{n_{1}},t_{n_{2}}]_{\mathscr{R}_{\mathbb{T}}(\tau ,\varepsilon _{1})}\) as follows:
Let \(1>\varepsilon _{2}>\varepsilon _{1}>0\), there exists a \(\delta _{\varepsilon _{2}}>0\) such that for \(t\in (t_{j}- \delta _{\varepsilon _{2}},t_{j})_{\mathscr{R}_{\mathbb{T}}(\tau , \varepsilon _{1})}\), \(j\in \mathbb{Z}\) and \(n_{1}\leq j\leq n_{2}\), we have
Hence,
which implies that
From (3.4) and \(f\in \operatorname{WPDAP}^{\varepsilon _{1}}_{0}( \mathbb{T},\tilde{\rho })\), it follows that \(f(t_{n})=a_{n}\in \operatorname{WPDAP}^{\varepsilon _{1}}_{0}(\mathbb{Z},\tilde{\rho })\). This completes the proof. □
From Lemma 3.8, we have the following result directly:
Theorem 3.5
A necessary and sufficient condition for a bounded sequence \(\{a_{n}\}\) to be in \(\operatorname{WPDAP}^{\varepsilon }(\mathbb{Z}, \tilde{\rho })\) is that there exist a uniformly continuous function \(f\in \operatorname{WPDAP}^{\varepsilon }(\mathbb{T},\tilde{\rho })\) and a discretization partition \(\{t_{n}\}\subset \mathscr{R}_{\mathbb{T}}( \tau ,\varepsilon )\) such that \(f(t_{n})=a_{n}\), \(n\in \mathbb{Z}\), \(\tilde{\rho }\in U^{\varepsilon }_{B}\).
Theorem 3.6
Assume that \(\rho \in U^{\varepsilon }_{\infty }\) and the sequence of vector-valued functions \(\{I_{k}\}_{k\in \mathbb{Z}}\) is weighted pseudo-almost-periodic, i.e., for any \(x\in \varOmega \), \(\{I_{k}(x),k \in \mathbb{Z}\}\) is weighted pseudo-almost-periodic sequence. Suppose that \(\{I_{k}(x):k\in \mathbb{Z},x\in K\}\) is bounded for every bounded subset \(K\subseteq \varOmega \), \(I_{k}(x)\) is uniformly continuous in \(x\in \varOmega \) uniformly in \(k\in \mathbb{Z}\). If \(h\in \operatorname{WPDAP}^{\varepsilon }(\mathbb{T},\tilde{\rho })\cap \operatorname{UPC}^{\varepsilon }(\mathbb{T},\mathbb{X})\) such that \(h (\mathscr{R}_{\mathbb{T}}(\tau ,\varepsilon ) )\subset \varOmega \), then \(I_{k} (h(t_{k_{i},\varepsilon }) )\) is weighted pseudo-double-almost-periodic.
Proof
Fix \(h\in \operatorname{WPDAP}^{\varepsilon }(\mathbb{T},\tilde{\rho }) \cap \operatorname{UPC}^{\varepsilon }(\mathbb{T},\mathbb{X})\). First we will show that \(h(t_{k_{i},\varepsilon })\) is weighted pseudo-double-almost-periodic. Since \(h=\phi _{1}+\phi _{2}\), where \(\phi _{1}\in \operatorname{DAP}^{\varepsilon }(\mathbb{T},\mathbb{X})\) and \(\phi _{2}\in \operatorname{WPDAP}^{\varepsilon }_{0}(\mathbb{T}, \tilde{\rho })\), it follows from Lemma 3.7 that the sequence \(\phi _{1}(t_{k_{i},\varepsilon })\) is double-almost-periodic. To show \(h(t_{k_{i},\varepsilon })\) is weighted pseudo-double-almost-periodic, we need to show that \(\phi _{2}(t_{k_{i},\varepsilon })\in \operatorname{WPDAP}^{\varepsilon }_{0}(\mathbb{Z},\tilde{\rho })\). From the assumption, \(h,\phi _{1}\in \operatorname{UPC}^{\varepsilon }(\mathbb{T}, \mathbb{X})\), so is \(\phi _{2}\).
For any \(t_{k_{n_{1}}},t_{k_{n_{2}}}\in \mathfrak{B}^{\varepsilon _{1}}\), we partition the interval \([t_{k_{n_{1}}},t_{k_{n_{2}}}]_{\mathscr{R} _{\mathbb{T}}(\tau ,\varepsilon _{1})}\), and we repeat the same proof process of Sufficiency for Lemma 3.8, so we have \(\phi _{2}(t _{k_{i},\varepsilon _{1}})\in \operatorname{WPDAP}_{0}^{\varepsilon _{1}}( \mathbb{Z},\tilde{\rho })\). Hence, \(h(t_{k_{i},\varepsilon _{1}})\) is weighted pseudo-double-almost-periodic.
Next, we will show that \(I_{k} (h(t_{k_{i},\varepsilon }) )\) is weighted pseudo-double-almost-periodic. Let
where ξ is as in Lemma 3.8. Since \(\{I_{n}\}\) is weighted pseudo-almost-periodic sequence and \(\{h(t_{n})\}\) is weighted pseudo-double-almost-periodic sequence, by Lemma 3.8 and Theorem 3.5, it follows that \(I\in \operatorname{WPDAP}^{\varepsilon }( \mathbb{T}\times \varOmega ,\tilde{\rho })\), \(\varPhi _{0}\in \operatorname{WPDAP} ^{\varepsilon }(\mathbb{T},\tilde{\rho })\). For every \(t\in \mathscr{R}_{\mathbb{T}}(\tau ,\varepsilon )\), there exists a integer \(k_{n_{1}}\leq n\leq k_{n_{2}}\), \(n\in \mathbb{Z}\) such that \(\vert t-r_{n}\vert \leq \xi \), and hence
Since \(\{I_{n}(x):k_{n_{1}}\leq n\leq k_{n_{2}}, n\in \mathbb{Z},x \in K\}\) is bounded for every bounded set \(K\subseteq \varOmega \), \(\{I(t,x):t\in \mathscr{R}_{\mathbb{T}}(\tau ,\varepsilon ),x \in K \}\) is bounded for every bounded set \(K\subseteq \varOmega \). For every \(x_{1},x_{2}\in \varOmega \), we have
From the fact that \(I_{k}(x)\) is uniformly continuous in \(x\in \varOmega \) uniformly in \(k\in \mathbb{Z}\), it follows that \(I(t,x)\) is uniformly continuous in \(x\in \varOmega \) uniformly in \(t\in \mathscr{R}_{ \mathbb{T}}(\tau ,\varepsilon )\). Thus, by Theorem 3.4, \(I (\cdot ,\varPhi _{0}(\cdot ) )\in \operatorname{WPDAP}^{\varepsilon }( \mathbb{T},\mathbb{X})\). Again, using Lemma 3.8 and Theorem 3.5, we find that \(I (t_{k_{i},\varepsilon },\varPhi _{0}(t _{k_{i},\varepsilon }) )\) is a weighted pseudo-double-almost-periodic sequence, that is, \(I_{k} (h(t_{k_{i},\varepsilon }) )\) is weighted pseudo-double-almost-periodic. This completes the proof. □
From Theorem 3.6, the following corollary follows:
Corollary 3.3
Assume that the sequence of vector-valued functions \(\{I_{k}\}_{k \in \mathbb{Z}}\) is weighted pseudo-almost-periodic, \(\rho \in U_{B} ^{\varepsilon }\), if there is a number \(L>0\) such that
for all \(x,y\in \varOmega \), \(k\in \mathbb{Z}\), if \(h\in \operatorname{WPDAP} ^{\varepsilon }(\mathbb{T},\rho )\cap \operatorname{UPC}^{\varepsilon }( \mathbb{T},\rho )\) such that \(h (\mathscr{R}_{\mathbb{T}}(\tau , \varepsilon ) )\subset \varOmega \), then \(I_{k}(h(t_{k_{i},\varepsilon }))\) is weighted pseudo-double-almost-periodic.
In the following, we show a criterion for a relatively compact set in \(\operatorname{PC}^{\varepsilon }_{\mathit{rd}}(\mathbb{T},\mathbb{X})\).
Let \(\tilde{h}_{0}:\mathbb{T}\rightarrow \mathbb{R}\) be a continuous function such that \(\tilde{h}_{0}(t)\geq 1\) for all \(t\in \mathbb{T}\) and \(\tilde{h}_{0}(t)\rightarrow \infty \) as \(\vert t\vert \rightarrow \infty \). Then, the space
endowed with the norm \(\Vert \phi \Vert ^{\varepsilon }_{h_{0}}=\sup_{t\in \mathscr{R}_{\mathbb{T}}(\tau ,\varepsilon )}{\frac{\Vert \phi (t)\Vert }{h_{0}(t)}}\) is a Banach space, where \(h_{0}(t)=\tilde{h} _{0}\vert _{\mathscr{R}_{\mathbb{T}}(\tau ,\varepsilon )}\).
Theorem 3.7
A set \(\mathbb{B}\subseteq \operatorname{PC}^{\varepsilon }_{h_{0}}( \mathbb{T},\mathbb{X})\) is relatively compact if and only if
-
(1)
\(\lim_{\vert t\vert \rightarrow \infty }{\frac{\Vert \phi (t)\Vert }{h_{0}(t)}}=0\) uniformly for \(\phi \in \mathbb{B}\).
-
(2)
\(\mathbb{B}_{t}=\{\phi (t):\phi \in \mathbb{B}\}\) is relatively compact in \(\mathbb{X}\) for every \(t\in \mathscr{R}_{ \mathbb{T}}(\tau ,\varepsilon )\).
-
(3)
The set \(\mathbb{B}\) is equicontinuous on each interval \((t_{k_{i},\varepsilon },t_{k_{i+1},\varepsilon })_{\mathscr{R}_{ \mathbb{T}}(\tau ,\varepsilon )}\), \(i\in \mathbb{Z}\).
Proof
Let \(\operatorname{PC}^{0,\varepsilon }_{\mathit{rd}}(\mathbb{T},\mathbb{X})= \{\phi \in \operatorname{PC}^{\varepsilon }_{\mathit{rd}}(\mathbb{T}, \mathbb{X}):\lim_{\vert t\vert \rightarrow \infty }\Vert \phi (t)\Vert =0\}\). It is clear that \(\operatorname{PC}_{\mathit{rd}}^{0,\varepsilon }(\mathbb{T}, \mathbb{X})\) is isometrically isomorphic with the space \(\operatorname{PC} _{h_{0}}^{\varepsilon }(\mathbb{T},\mathbb{X})\). In order to prove Lemma 3.7, we only need to show that \(\mathbb{B}^{*}\subseteq \operatorname{PC}_{\mathit{rd}}^{0,\varepsilon }(\mathbb{T},\mathbb{X})\) is a relatively compact set if and only if
- \((a)\) :
-
\(\lim_{\vert t\vert \rightarrow \infty }\Vert f(t)\Vert =0\) uniformly for \(f\in \mathbb{B}^{*}\).
- \((b)\) :
-
\(\mathbb{B}^{*}_{t}=\{f(t):f\in \mathbb{B}^{*}\}\) is relatively compact in \(\mathbb{X}\) for every \(t\in \mathscr{R}_{ \mathbb{T}}(\tau ,\varepsilon )\).
- \((c)\) :
-
The set \(\mathbb{B}^{*}\) is equicontinuous on each interval \((t_{k_{i},\varepsilon },t_{k_{i+1},\varepsilon })_{\mathscr{R}_{ \mathbb{T}}(\tau ,\varepsilon )}\), \(i\in \mathbb{Z}\).
Sufficiency. By \((a)\), for any \(\varepsilon _{2}>\varepsilon _{1}>0\), there exists \(\delta _{1}^{\varepsilon _{2}}>0\) such that
By \((c)\), for the above \(\varepsilon _{2}\), there exists \(\delta :0< \delta _{\varepsilon _{2}}<\delta _{1}^{\varepsilon _{2}}\), such that \(t^{\prime },t^{\prime \prime }\in (t_{k_{i},\varepsilon _{1}},t_{k_{i+1},\varepsilon _{1}})_{\mathscr{R}_{\mathbb{T}}(\tau ,\varepsilon _{1})}\), \(i\in \mathbb{Z}\), \(\vert t^{\prime }-t^{\prime \prime }\vert <\delta _{\varepsilon _{2}}\) implies
For the interval \([-\delta _{1}^{\varepsilon _{2}},\delta _{1}^{ \varepsilon _{2}}]_{\mathscr{R}_{\mathbb{T}}(\tau ,\varepsilon _{1})}\), there exists a set
such that \(\vert t-s_{j}\vert <\delta _{\varepsilon _{2}}\) and
For any sequence \(\{f_{k}:k\geq 1\}\subseteq \mathbb{B}^{*}\), by \((b)\), we can extract a subsequence that converges at each point \(t\in \mathscr{R}_{\mathbb{T}}(\tau ,\varepsilon _{1})\). Since S is finite, for the above \(\varepsilon _{2}>\varepsilon _{1}>0\), there exists \(n_{0}\in \mathbb{N}\) such that for all \(m,n\geq n_{0}\),
Hence, for \(t\in [-\delta _{1}^{\varepsilon _{2}},\delta _{1}^{ \varepsilon _{2}}]_{\mathscr{R}_{\mathbb{T}}(\tau ,\varepsilon _{1})}\), by (3.6) and (3.7), it follows that
For \(\vert t\vert >\delta _{1}^{\varepsilon _{2}}\), by (3.5), we have
Thus, \(\{f_{k}:k\geq 1\}\) is almost-uniformly convergent on \(\mathscr{R}_{\mathbb{T}}(\tau ,\varepsilon _{1})\), and hence \(\mathbb{B}^{*}\subseteq \operatorname{PC}_{\mathit{rd}}^{0,\varepsilon _{1}}( \mathbb{T}, \mathbb{X})\) is a relatively compact set.
Necessity. Since \(\mathbb{B}^{*}\subseteq \operatorname{PC}_{\mathit{rd}} ^{0,\varepsilon _{1}}(\mathbb{T},\mathbb{X})\) is relatively compact, for any \(\varepsilon _{2}>\varepsilon _{1}>0\), there exist a finite number of functions \(f_{1},f_{2},\ldots,f_{m}\) of \(\mathbb{B}^{*}\) such that
This finite set of functions \(f_{1},f_{2},\ldots,f_{m}\) is equicontinuous, that is, for the above \(\varepsilon _{2}>\varepsilon _{1}>0\), there exists a number \(\delta _{2}^{\varepsilon _{2}}>0\) such that for any \(t^{\prime },t^{\prime \prime }\in (t_{k_{i},\varepsilon _{1}},t_{k_{i+1}, \varepsilon _{1}})_{\mathscr{R}_{\mathbb{T}}(\tau ,\varepsilon _{1})}\), \(i\in \mathbb{Z}\), \(\vert t^{\prime }-t^{\prime \prime }\vert <\delta _{2}^{\varepsilon _{2}}\) implies that \(\Vert f_{j}(t^{\prime })-f_{j}(t^{\prime \prime })\Vert <\varepsilon _{2}\). Now, using (3.8), for any \(f\in \mathbb{B}^{*}\), we have
which shows \((c)\). Since \(f_{j}\in \mathbb{B}^{*}\), for the above \(\varepsilon _{2}>\varepsilon _{1}>0\), there exist numbers \(\nu _{j}^{ \varepsilon _{2}}>0\) such that
Let \(\delta _{3}^{\varepsilon _{2}}=\max \{\nu _{1}^{\varepsilon _{2}},\ldots,\nu _{m}^{\varepsilon _{2}}\}\). Then by (3.8) and (3.9), for any \(f\in \mathbb{B}^{*}\), it follows that
which shows \((a)\). Since \(\mathbb{B}^{*}\) is relatively compact, for any sequence \(\{f_{k}:k\geq 1\}\subseteq \mathbb{B}^{*}\), there exists a subsequence that converges almost-uniformly on \(\mathscr{R}_{ \mathbb{T}}(\tau ,\varepsilon _{1})\). Fix \(t\in \mathscr{R}_{ \mathbb{T}}(\tau ,\varepsilon _{1})\), in the sequence \(\{f_{k}(t):k \geq 1\}\subseteq \mathbb{X}\), there exists a convergent subsequence. Therefore, for fixed \(t\in \mathscr{R}_{\mathbb{T}}(\tau ,\varepsilon _{1})\), the set \(\{f(t):f\in \mathbb{B}^{*}\}\) is relatively compact, which shows \((b)\). This completes the proof. □
Remark 3.2
The applications of weighted piecewise double-almost-periodic functions on impulsive evolution equations were investigated in the literature [33]. Moreover, the first results of some biological dynamic models, economic dynamic models, and neural networks with double-almost-periodicity were established in Sect. 4 of [33] and also in [34].
4 Conclusion
This paper introduces the concept of ACCTS and establishes a type of functions with double-almost-periodicity. Then, by introducing the concept of almost-uniform convergence for piecewise functions on ACCTS and using measure theory on time scales, some composition theorems of WPDAP and the completeness of the function space are obtained. The basic results established in this paper can be applied to study weighted pseudo-double-almost-periodic solutions for impulsive dynamic equations or other types of mathematical dynamic models in the real world.
