An Application of the Duality Method to the Regularity of Membrane Problems with Friction

Duality is applied to study the regularity of solutions to membrane problems with friction. The method consists of the characterization of the regularity of the subdifferentials of the friction functional. Then the regularity of a solution reduces to the regularity of a solution to a related elliptic boundary value problem or to that of an obstacle problem without friction.     

On the regularity of discrete linear systems

In this paper we have introduced a new regularity coefficient of time varying discrete linear system. On the base of this coefficient we have characterized the regularity of homogeneous discrete time varying linear systems by nonhomogeneous ones. Moreover we provided bounds for the regularity coefficient in terms of the existing in the literature regularity coefficients.

Metric Regularity of the Sum of Multifunctions and Applications

The metric regularity of multifunctions plays a crucial role in modern variational analysis and optimization. This property is a key to study the stability of solutions of generalized equations. Many practical problems lead to generalized equations associated to the sum of multifunctions. This paper is devoted to study the metric regularity of the sum of multifunctions. As the sum of closed multifunctions is not necessarily closed, almost all known results in the literature on the metric regularity for one multifunction (which is assumed usually to be closed) fail to imply regularity properties of the sum of multifunctions. To avoid this difficulty, we use an approach based on the metric regularity of so-called epigraphical multifunctions and the theory of error bounds to study the metric regularity of the sum of two multifunctions, as well as some related important properties of variational systems. Firstly, we establish the metric regularity of the sum of a regular multifunction and a pseudo-Lipschitz multifunction with a suitable Lipschitz modulus. These results subsume some recent results by Durea and Strugariu. Secondly, we derive coderivative characterizations of the metric regularity of epigraphical multifunctions associated with the sum of multifunctions. Applications to the study of the behavior of solutions of variational systems are reported.     

On the weak regularity of semigroup rings

Sufficient conditions are obtained under which the semigroup ring of a semigroup, in particular, of an inverse semigroup, is weakly regular. For some inverse semigroups and some orthodox semigroups, the necessary and sufficient conditions for the weak regularity of the semigroup rings are found. A problem is mentioned especially which is much more difficult for weak regularity than for regularity. Only a partial solution of this problem is given for weak regularity.     

Regularity of the Maxwell equations in heterogeneous media and Lipschitz domains

This note establishes regularity estimates for the solution of the Maxwell equations in Lipschitz domains with non-smooth coefficients and minimal regularity assumptions. The argumentation relies on elliptic regularity estimates for the Poisson problem with non-smooth coefficients.     

Asymptotic Behaviour of the Castelnuovo-Mumford Regularity

In this paper the asymptotic behavior of the Castelnuovo$ndash;Mumford regularity of powers of a homogeneous ideal I is studied. It is shown that there is a linear bound for the regularity of the powers I whose slope is the maximum degree of a homogeneous generator of I, and that the regularity of I is a linear function for large n. Similar results hold for the integral closures of the powers of I. On the other hand we give examples of ideal for which the regularity of the saturated powers is asymptotically not a linear function, not even a linear function with periodic coefficients.     

On the regularity of weak solutions to the magnetohydrodynamic equations

In this paper, we study the regularity of weak solution to the incompressible magnetohydrodynamic equations. We obtain some sufficient conditions for regularity of weak solutions to the magnetohydrodynamic equations, which is similar to that of incompressible Navier-Stokes equations. Moreover, our results demonstrate that the velocity field of the fluid plays a more dominant role than the magnetic field does on the regularity of solution to the magneto-hydrodynamic equations.     

On the regularity of optimal controls

We outline some recent results on the regularity of optimal controls. We formulate the general regularity problem for open-loop and closed-loop controls, and explain how results for the open-loop case have implications for the closed-loop case as well. We then describe a number of results on the regularity of open-loop controls.Partially supported by a fellowship from the Alfred P.

On the regularity criteria for weak solutions to the magnetohydrodynamic equations

We study the regularity criteria for weak solutions to the incompressible magnetohydrodynamic equations. Some regularity criteria are obtained for weak solutions to the magnetohydrodynamic equations, which generalize the results in [C. He, Z. Xin, On the regularity of solutions to the magneto-hydrodynamic equations, J. Differential Equations 213 (2) (2005) 235-254]. Our results reveal that the velocity field of the fluid plays a more dominant role than the magnetic field does on the regularity of solutions to the magnetohydrodynamic equations.

A Discrete Phenomenon in the C and Analytic Regularity of the Blow-Up Curve of Solutions to the Liouville Equation in One Space Dimension

We give a complete discussion of the C^∞ or analytic regularity of blow-up curves for Cauchy problems or some mixed problems for the Liouville equation in one space dimension. In the case of mixed problems, the regularity results depend on the boundary condition: actually, we show the existence of a sequence of boundary conditions for which the regularity of the blow-up curve is better than in the general case.     

Estimate for the second-order derivatives of solutions to boundary-value problems of the theory of non-Newtonian liquids

The boundary regularity of solutions to some boundary-value problems describing stationary flow of generalized Newtonian liquids is studied. The dissipative potential is of quadratic growth at infinity. We prove that the second-order derivatives of the solution are pth power summable functions, where p is greater than two. The partial regularity of the strain velocity tensor is established. In the two-dimensional case, the complete regularity of the strain velocity tensor is also proved. Bibliography: 14 titles.

On the regularity of the critical point infinity of definitizable operators

In this note necessary and sufficient conditions for the regularity of the critical point infinity of a definitizable operator A are given. Using these criteria it is proved that the regularity of the critical point infinity is preserved under some additive perturbations as well as for some operators which are related to A. Applications to indefinite Sturm-Liouville problems are indicated.

Interior regularity of weak solutions to the perturbed Navier-Stokes equations

In this paper we establish interior regularity for weak solutions and partial regularity for suitable weak solutions of the perturbed Navier-Stokes system, which can be regarded as generalizations of the results in L. Caffarelli, R. Kohn, L. Nirenberg: Partial regularity of suitable weak solutions of the Navier-Stokes equations, Commun. Pure. Appl. Math. 35 (1982), 771–831, and S. Takahashi, On interior regularity criteria for weak solutions of the Navier-Stokes equations, Manuscr. Math. 69 (1990), 237–254.     

Regularity estimates for the solution and the free boundary of the obstacle problem for the fractional Laplacian

We use a characterization of the fractional Laplacian as a Dirichlet to Neumann operator for an appropriate differential equation to study its obstacle problem. We write an equivalent characterization as a thin obstacle problem. In this way we are able to apply local type arguments to obtain sharp regularity estimates for the solution and study the regularity of the free boundary.     

Regularity up to the boundary of solutions to boundary-value problems of the theory of generalized Newtonian liquids

Boundary-value problems describing the stationary flow of a generalized Newtonian liquid are considered. The regularity of solutions to such problems is studied near the boundary. The W ₂ ² -estimate for a solution and the partial regularity of the strain velocity tensor are established. In the two-dimensional case, the complete regularity of the strain velocity tensor is also proved. Bibliography: 12 titles. Translated fromProblemy Matematicheskogo Analiza, No. 16. 1997, pp. 239–265.
