Explosive solutions of elliptic equations with absorption and nonlinear gradient term

Letf be a non-decreasing C¹-function such that andF(t)/f ² a(t)→ 0 ast → ∞, whereF(t)=∫ ₀ ^t f(s) ds anda ∈ (0, 2]. We prove the existence of positive large solutions to the equationΔu +q(x)|Δu| ^a =p(x)f(u) in a smooth bounded domain Ω ⊂R^N, provided thatp, q are non-negative continuous functions so that any zero ofp is surrounded by a surface strictly included in Ω on whichp is positive. Under additional hypotheses onp we deduce the existence of solutions if Ω is unbounded.     

Fast diffusion flow on manifolds of nonpositive curvature

We consider the fast diffusion equation (FDE) u _t = Δu ^m (0 < m < 1) on a nonparabolic Riemannian manifold M. Existence of weak solutions holds. Then we show that the validity of Euclidean–type Sobolev inequalities implies that certain L ^p −L ^q smoothing effects of the type ∥u(t)∥ _q ≤ Ct ^−α ∥u ₀∥^γ _p , the case q = ∞ being included. The converse holds if m is sufficiently close to one. We then consider the case in which the manifold has the addition gap property min σ(−Δ) > 0. In that case solutions vanish in finite time, and we estimate from below and from above the extinction time.      

On statistical convergence of vector-valued sequences associated with multiplier sequences

We introduce vector-valued sequence spaces w _∞(F, Q, p, u), w ₁(F, Q, p, u), w ₀(F, Q, p, u), S _u ^q , and S _0u ^q using a sequence of modulus functions and a multiplier sequence u = (u _k ) of nonzero complex numbers. We give some relations for these sequence spaces. It is also shown that if a sequence is strongly u _q -Cesàro summable with respect to the modulus function, then it is u _q -statistically convergent.

On the measure of noncompactness of linear operators in spaces of strongly α-summable and bounded sequences

In this paper, we characterize classes of matrix transformations from BK spaces into spaces of bounded sequences and their subclasses of infinite matrices that define compact operators. Furthermore, using these results and the solvability of certain infinite linear systems we give necessary and sufficient conditions for A to be a compact operator on spaces that are strongly α-bounded or summable.

Global Existence and Nonexistence for a Strongly Coupled Parabolic System with Nonlinear Boundary Conditions

This paper deals with the strongly coupled parabolic system ut = v^m△u, vt = u^n△v, （x, t） ∈Ω × （0,T） subject to nonlinear boundary conditions 偏du/偏dη = u^αv^p, 偏du/偏dη= u^qv^β, （x, t） ∈ 偏dΩ × （0, T）, where Ω 包含 RN is a bounded domain, m, n are positive constants and α,β, p, q are nonnegative constants. Global existence and nonexistence of the positive solution of the above problem are studied and a new criterion is established. It is proved that the positive solution of the above problem exists globally if and only if α 〈 1,β 〈 1 and （m ＋p）（n ＋ q） ≤ （1 - α）（1 -β）.     

On some new generalized difference sequence spaces defined by a sequence of moduli

In this paper, we define the new generalized difference sequence spaces [V, λ, F, p, q]₀(Δ _v ^m ), [V, λ, F, p, q]₁(Δ _v ^m ) and [V, λ, F, p, q]_∞(Δ _v ^m ). We also study some inclusion relations between these spaces.     

Large solutions for equations involving the p-Laplacian and singular weights

In this paper we consider the boundary blow-up problem Δ_pu = a(x)u^q in a smooth bounded domain Ω of \mathbbR^N{\mathbb{R}}^N, with u = +∞ on ∂Ω. Here D_pu = div(|?u|^p-2?u)\Delta_{p}u = {\rm div}(|\nabla u|^{p-2}\nabla u) is the well-known p-Laplacian operator with p > 1, q > p − 1, and a(x) is a nonnegative weight function which can be singular on ∂Ω. Our results include existence, uniqueness and exact boundary behavior of positive solutions.     

Strongly 1-Bounded Von Neumann Algebras

Suppose F is a finite tuple of selfadjoint elements in a tracial von Neumann algebra M. For α > 0, F is α-bounded if where is the free packing α-entropy of F introduced in [J3]. M is said to be strongly 1-bounded if M has a 1-bounded finite tuple of selfadjoint generators F such that there exists an with . It is shown that if M is strongly 1-bounded, then any finite tuple of selfadjoint generators G for M is 1-bounded and δ₀(G) ≤ 1; consequently, a strongly 1-bounded von Neumann algebra is not isomorphic to an interpolated free group factor and δ₀ is an invariant for these algebras. Examples of strongly 1-bounded von Neumann algebras include (separable) II ₁-factors which have property Γ, have Cartan subalgebras, are non-prime, or the group von Neumann algebras of . If M and N are strongly 1-bounded and M ∩ N is diffuse, then the von Neumann algebra generated by M and N is strongly 1-bounded. In particular, a free product of two strongly 1-bounded von Neumann algebras with amalgamation over a common, diffuse von Neumann subalgebra is strongly 1-bounded. It is also shown that a II ₁-factor generated by the normalizer of a strongly 1-bounded von Neumann subalgebra is strongly 1-bounded.

Direct Constructions of Hyperplanes of Dual Polar Spaces Arising from Embeddings

Let e be one of the following full projective embeddings of a finite dual polar space Δ of rank n ≥ 2: (i) The Grassmann-embedding of the symplectic dual polar space Δ ≅ DW(2n – 1, q); (ii) the Grassmann-embedding of the Hermitian dual polar space Δ ≅ DH(2n – 1, q ²); (iii) the spin-embedding of the orthogonal dual polar space Δ ≅ DQ(2n, q); (iv) the spin-embedding of the orthogonal dual polar space Δ ≅DQ ⁻(2n + 1, q). Let H_e{\mathcal{H}_{e}} denote the set of all hyperplanes of Δ arising from the embedding e. We give a method for constructing the hyperplanes of H_e{\mathcal{H}_{e}} without implementing the embedding e and discuss (possible) applications of the given construction.     

Sum of sequence spaces and matrix transformations mapping in s α 0 ((Δ ? λ I ) h ) + s β ( c ) ((Δ ? μ I ) l )

We deal with the sum of sequence spaces. Then we apply these results to characterize matrix transformations mapping between s ^h,l (λ, μ) = s _α ⁰((Δ − λI) ^h ) + s _β ^(c)((Δ − μI) ^l ) and s _γ . Among other things the aim of this paper is to reduce the set (s ^h,l (λ, μ), s _γ to a set of the form S _τ,γ .      

Initial trace for a porous medium equation: I. The strong absorption case

We study the equation (E): u_t−Δu^m+u^q=0, (m, q>0) in Δ×ℝ₊, in a regular bounded open set Ω, or the whole space. We first prove that when 0<m<q, distributional solutions of (E) have an initial trace which is a Borel measure, then we study existence and uniqueness results with measure initial data.

In this paper we define the sequence space ℓ _M (Δ _υ ^m , p, q, s) on a seminormed complex linear space, by using a sequence of Orlicz functions. We study some algebraic and topological properties. We prove some inclusion relations involving ℓ _M (Δ _υ ^m , p, q, s). spaces     

Asymptotic behavior of solutions to viscous conservation laws with slowly varying external forces

This paper considers the existence and large time behavior of solutions to the convection-diffusion equation u _t −Δu+b(x)·∇(u|u| ^{q −1})=f(x, t) in ℝ ⁿ ×[0,∞), where f(x, t) is slowly decaying and q≥1+1/n (or in some particular cases q≥1). The initial condition u ₀ is supposed to be in an appropriate L ^p space. Uniform and nonuniform decay of the solutions will be established depending on the data and the forcing term.This work is partially supported by an AMO Grant     

Large solutions of elliptic equations with a weakly superlinear nonlinearity

This paper studies the asymptotic behavior near the boundary for large solutions of the semilinear equation Δu + au = b(x)f(u) in a smooth bounded domain Ω of ℝ^N with N ≥ 2, where a is a real parameter and b is a nonnegative smooth function on . We assume that f(u) behaves like u(ln u)^α as u → ∞, for some α > 2. It turns out that this case is more difficult to handle than those where f(u) grows like u ^p (p > 1) or faster at infinity. Under suitable conditions on the weight function b(x), which may vanish on ∂Ω, we obtain the first order expansion of the large solutions near the boundary. We also obtain some uniqueness results.

Bivariate spline interpolation with optimal approximation order

Let Δ be a triangulation of some polygonal domain Ω ⊂ R² and let S_q^r(Δ) denote the space of all bivariate polynomial splines of smoothness r and degree q with respect to Δ. We develop the first Hermite-type interpolation scheme for S _q ^r (Δ), q ≥ 3r + 2, whose approximation error is bounded above by Kh ^q +1, where h is the maximal diameter of the triangles in Δ, and the constant K only depends on the smallest angle of the triangulation and is independent of near-degenerate edges and near-singular vertices. Moreover, the fundamental functions of our scheme are minimally supported and form a locally linearly independent basis for a superspline subspace of S _q ^r (Δ). This shows that the optimal approximation order can be achieved by using minimally supported splines. Our method of proof is completely different from the quasi-interpolation techniques for the study of the approximation power of bivariate splines developed in [7] and [18].     

Strongly almost (<Emphasis Type="Italic">ω, λ, q</Emphasis>)-summable sequences

The purpose of this paper is to introduce the spaces of sequences that are strongly almost (ω, λ, q)-summable with respect to a modulus function. We give some relations related to these sequence spaces. It is also shown that if a sequence is strongly (ω, λ, q)-summable with respect to a modulus function, then it is S(λ _q )-statistically convergent.     

Hausdorff operator of special kind on <Emphasis Type="Italic">p</Emphasis>-adic field and <Emphasis Type="Italic">BMO</Emphasis>-type spaces

For Hausdorff operator with generating function having support in the unit ball of p-adic field ℚ _p we give sufficient and necessary conditions of its boundedness in BMO-type spaces: BLO(ℚ _p ⁿ ), Q _r ^α,q (ℚ _p ⁿ ) and BMO _r ^α,q (ℚ _p ⁿ ). Some embedding relations between these spaces and Besov spaces are established.     

Best N Term Approximation Spaces for Tensor Product Wavelet Bases

We consider best N term approximation using anisotropic tensor product wavelet bases ("sparse grids"). We introduce a tensor product structure ⊗_q on certain quasi-Banach spaces. We prove that the approximation spaces A^α_q(L₂) and A^α_q(H¹) equal tensor products of Besov spaces B^α_q(L_q), e.g., A^α_q(L₂([0,1]^d)) = B^α_q(L_q([0,1])) ⊗_q · ⊗_q B^α_{q · ·}(L_q([0,1])). Solutions to elliptic partial differential equations on polygonal/polyhedral domains belong to these new scales of Besov spaces.
