Bilinear decompositions for the product space

In this paper, we improve a recent result by Li and Peng on products of functions in and , where is a Schrödinger operator with V satisfying an appropriate reverse Hölder inequality. More precisely, we prove that such products may be written as the sum of two continuous bilinear operators, one from into , the other one from into , where the space is the set of distributions f whose grand maximal function satisfies

In this note we study the property of unique continuation for solutions of , where V is in a function class of potentials including for . In particular, when , our result gives a unique continuation theorem for the fractional Schrödinger operator in the full range of α values.     

Uniqueness results for semilinear elliptic systems on

In this paper we establish uniqueness criteria for positive radially symmetric finite energy solutions of semilinear elliptic systems of the form As an application we consider the nonlinear Schrödinger system for and exponents q which satisfy in case and in case . Generalizing the results of Wei and Yao for we find new sufficient conditions and necessary conditions on such that precisely one positive solution exists. Our results dealing with the special case are optimal. Finally, an application to a multi‐component nonlinear Schrödinger system is given.

Let and let be a ‐quasicontinuous representative of a mapping in the Triebel‐Lizorkin space . We find an optimal value of such that for a.e. the Hausdorff dimension of is at most α. We construct examples to show that the value of β is optimal and we show that it does not increase once p goes below the critical value α.

Riesz minimal energy problems on ‐manifolds

In , , we study the constructive and numerical solution of minimizing the energy relative to the Riesz kernel , where , for the Gauss variational problem, considered for finitely many compact, mutually disjoint, boundaryless ‐dimensional ‐manifolds , , where , each being charged with Borel measures with the sign prescribed. We show that the Gauss variational problem over a convex set of Borel measures can alternatively be formulated as a minimum problem over the corresponding set of surface distributions belonging to the Sobolev–Slobodetski space , where and . An equivalent formulation leads in the case of two manifolds to a nonlinear system of boundary integral equations involving simple layer potential operators on Γ. A corresponding numerical method is based on the Galerkin–Bubnov discretization with piecewise constant boundary elements. Wavelet matrix compression is applied to sparsify the system matrix. Numerical results are presented to illustrate the approach.     

Semi‐classical resolvent estimates and regions free of resonances

We prove resolvent estimates for self‐adjoint operators of the form on , , where is a semi‐classical parameter and , , is a real‐valued potential. The potential is supposed to have very little regularity with respect to the radial variable, only. As a consequence, we obtain a region free of resonances in the case when V is of compact support.     

Nonlinear differential identities for cnoidal waves

This article presents a family of nonlinear differential identities for the spatially periodic function , which is essentially the Jacobian elliptic function with one non‐trivial parameter . More precisely, we show that this function fulfills equations of the form for all . We give explicit expressions for the coefficients and for given s. Moreover, we show that for any s the set of functions constitutes a basis for . By virtue of our formulas the problem of finding a periodic solution to any nonlinear wave equation reduces to a problem in the coefficients. A finite ansatz exactly solves the KdV equation (giving the well‐known cnoidal wave solution) and the Kawahara equation. An infinite ansatz is expected to be especially efficient if the equation to be solved can be considered a perturbation of the KdV equation.

Sobolev estimates for (pseudo)‐differential operators and applications

In this work we show that if is a linear differential operator of order ν with smooth complex coefficients in from a complex vector space E to a complex vector space F, the Sobolev a priori estimate holds locally at any point if and only if is elliptic and the constant coefficient homogeneous operator is canceling in the sense of Van Schaftingen for every which means that Here is the homogeneous part of order ν of and is the principal symbol of . This result implies and unifies the proofs of several estimates for complexes and pseudo‐complexes of operators of order one or higher proved recently by other methods as well as it extends —in the local setup— the characterization of Van Schaftingen to operators with variable coefficients.     

Boundedness in chemotaxis systems with rotational flux terms

We consider the chemotaxis system with rotation under no‐flux boundary conditions in the bounded domain , . Here the matrix‐valued function fulfills () for all with some nondecreasing function S₀ and is a nonnegative function with for all . Moreover, f satisfies for all with nondecreasing function f₀. It is shown that for the nonnegative initial data and with , if at least one of the following assumptions holds:

BMO spaces related to Laguerre semigroups

For the system of Laguerre functions we define a suitable BMO space from the atomic version of the Hardy space considered by Dziubański in 7 , where is the maximal operator of the heat semigroup associated to that Laguerre system. We prove boundedness of over a weighted version of that BMO, and we extend such result to other systems of Laguerre functions, namely and . To do that, we work with a more general family of weighted BMO‐like spaces that includes those associated to all of the above mentioned Laguerre systems. In this setting, we prove that the local versions of the Hardy‐Littlewood and the heat‐diffusion maximal operators turn to be bounded over such family of spaces for weights. This result plays a decisive role in proving the boundedness of Laguerre semigroup maximal operators.     

Pre‐Hilbert spaces with anomalous splitting and orthogonally‐closed subspace structures

Four classes of closed subspaces of an inner product space S that can naturally replace the lattice of projections in a Hilbert space are: the complete/cocomplete subspaces , the splitting subspaces , the quasi‐splitting subspaces and the orthogonally‐closed subspaces . It is well‐known that in general the algebraic structure of these families differ remarkably and they coalesce if and only if S is a Hilbert space. It is also known that when S is a hyperplane in its completion i.e. then and . On the other extreme, when i.e. then and . Motivated by this and in contrast to it, we show that in general the codimension of S in bears very little relation to the properties of these families. In particular, we show that the equalities and can hold for inner product spaces with arbitrary codimension in . At the end we also contribute to the study of the algebraic structure of by testing it for the Riesz interpolation property. We show that may fail to enjoy the Riesz interpolation property in both extreme situations when S is “very small” (i.e. and when S is ‘very big’ (i.e. .

Let be a Lebesgue‐almost everywhere positive function. We consider the Riemann‐Liouville operator of variable order defined by as an operator from to . Our first aim is to study its continuity properties. For example, we show that is always bounded (continuous) in provided that . Surprisingly, this becomes false for . In order to be bounded in L₁[0, 1], the function has to satisfy some additional assumptions. In the second, central part of this paper we investigate compactness properties of . We characterize functions for which is a compact operator and for certain classes of functions we provide order‐optimal bounds for the dyadic entropy numbers .
