Pointwise inequalities of logarithmic type in Hardy-Hölder spaces

We prove some optimal logarithmic estimates in the Hardy space H ^∞(G) with Hölder regularity, where G is the open unit disk or an annular domain of ?. These estimates extend the results established by S.Chaabane and I.Feki in the Hardy-Sobolev space H ^k,∞ of the unit disk and those of I. Feki in the case of an annular domain. The proofs are based on a variant of Hardy-Landau-Littlewood inequality for Hölder functions. As an application of these estimates, we study the stability of both the Cauchy problem for the Laplace operator and the Robin inverse problem.     

Unique continuation for solutions to pde's; between hörmander's theorem and holmgren' theorem

We prove a new unique continuation result for solutions to partial differential equations, “interpolating” between Holmgren's Theorem and Hörmander's Theorem. More precisely, under some partial analyticity assumptions on the coefficients we obtain an intermediate unique continuation result which is in general weaker than Holmgren's Theorem (which applies to problems with analytic coefficients) but stronger than Hörmander's Theorem (which applies to problems with C¹ coefficients). Some applications to the wave and the Schroedinger equation are considered next. In particular we obtain a result conjectured by Hörmander, namely that for the wave equation with C¹ but time independent coefficients one has unique continutaion across any noncharacteristic surface.     

COMMUTATORS OF SINGULAR INTEGRAL OPERATORS WITH NON-SMOOTH KERNELS

Let T be a singular integral operator bounded on Lp(Rn) for some p, 1 ＜ p ＜∞. The authors give a sufficient condition on the kernel of T so that when b ∈BMO, the commutator [b, T](f) = T(bf) - bT(f) is bounded on the space Lp for all p, 1 ＜ p ＜∞.The condition of this paper is weaker than the usual pointwise Hormander condition.     

Hölder regularity for the time fractional Schrödinger equation

In this paper, we investigate the Hölder regularity of solutions to the time fractional Schrödinger equation of order 1<α<2, which interpolates between the Schrödinger and wave equations. This is inspired by Hirata and Miao's work which studied the fractional diffusion-wave equation. First, we give the asymptotic behavior for the oscillatory distributional kernels and their Bessel potentials by using Fourier analytic techniques. Then, the space regularity is derived by employing some results on singular Fourier multipliers. Using the asymptotic behavior for the above kernels, we prove the time regularity. Finally, we use mismatch estimates to prove the pointwise convergence to the initial data in Hölder spaces. In addition, we also prove Hölder regularity result for the Schrödinger equation.     

On the spectral synthesis property and its application to partial differential equations

LetM be a (n?1)-dimensional manifold inR ⁿ with non-vanishing Gaussian curvature. Using an estimate established in the early work of the author [4], we will improve the known result of Y. Domar on the weak spectral synthesis property by reducing the smoothness assumption upon the manifoldM. Also as an application of the method, a uniqueness property for partial differential equations with constant coefficients will be proved, which for some specific cases recovers or improves Hörmander's general result.     

Time regularity of the densities for the Navier–Stokes equations with noise

We prove that the density of the law of any finite-dimensional projection of solutions of the Navier–Stokes equations with noise in dimension three is Hölder continuous in time with values in the natural space L ¹. When considered with values in Besov spaces, Hölder continuity still holds. The Hölder exponents correspond, up to arbitrarily small corrections, to the expected, at least with the known regularity, diffusive scaling.     

Application of Interpolational Methods to the Study of Properties of Functions of Several Variables

In this paper, interpolation theorems for spaces of functions of several variables are used to generalize and refine Hörmander's theorem on the multipliers of the Fourier transform from L _p to L _q and the Hardy--Littlewood--Paley inequality for a class of multiple Fourier series in the multidimensional case.     

Dirichlet problems for the quasilinear second order subelliptic equations

In this paper, we study the Dirichlet problems for the following quasilinear second order sub-elliptic equation, $$\left\{ {\begin{array}{*{20}c} {\sum\limits_{i,j = 1}^m {X_i^* (A_{i,j} (x,u)X_j u) + \sum\limits_{j = 1}^m {B_j (x,u)X_j u + C(x,u) = 0in\Omega ,} } } \\ {u = \varphi on\partial \Omega ,} \\ \end{array} } \right.$$ whereX={X ₁, ...,X _m } is a system of real smooth vector fields which satisfies the Hörmander's condition,A _i,j ,B _j ,C ∈C ^∞( $\bar \Omega$ ×R) and (A _i,j (x,z)) is a positive definite matrix. We have proved the existence and the maximal regularity of solutions in the “non-isotropic” Hölder space associated with the system of vector fieldsX.     

Schauder theory for Dirichlet elliptic operators in divergence form

Let A be a strongly elliptic operator of order 2m in divergence form with Hölder continuous coefficients of exponent ${\sigma \in (0,1)}$ defined in a uniformly C ^1+σ domain Ω of ${\mathbb{R}^n}$ . Regarding A as an operator from the Hölder space of order m +  σ associated with the Dirichlet data to the Hölder space of order ?m +  σ, we show that the inverse (A ? λ)^?1 exists for λ in a suitable angular region of the complex plane and estimate its operator norms. As an application, we give a regularity theorem for elliptic equations.     

The Regularity Problems with Data in Hardy–Sobolev Spaces for Singular Schrödinger Equation in Lipschitz Domains

Let the nonnegative singular potential V belong to the reverse Hölder class \({\mathcal B}_n\) on \({\mathbb R}^n\), and let (n???1)/n?p?≤?2, we establish the solvability and derivative estimates for the solutions to the Neumann problem and the regularity problem of the Schrödinger equation ??Δu?+?Vu?=?0 in a connected Lipschitz domain Ω, with boundary data in the Hardy space \(H^p(\partial \Omega)\) and the modified Hardy–Sobolev space \(H_{1, V}^p(\partial \Omega)\) related to the potential V. To deal with the H ^p regularity problem, we construct a new characterization of the atomic decomposition for \(H_{1, V}^p(\partial \Omega)\) space. The invertibility of the boundary layer potentials on Hardy spaces and Hölder spaces are shown in this paper.     

Interior C 2,α Regularity for Potential Functions in Optimal Transportation

In this paper we study the continuity of second derivatives of solutions to the Monge–Ampère equation arising in optimal transportation. We obtain Hölder and more general continuity estimates for second derivatives, when the inhomogeneous term is Hölder and Dini continuous, together with corresponding regularity results for potentials.     

The complex Monge–Ampère equation on weakly pseudoconvex domains

We show here a “weak” Hölder regularity up to the boundary of the solution to the Dirichlet problem for the complex Monge–Ampère equation with data in the $L^p$ space and Ω satisfying an f-property. The f-property is a potential-theoretical condition that holds for all pseudoconvex domains of finite type and many examples of infinite-type ones.     

Characterization of pseudodifferential operators in Hölder-Zygmund spaces

We consider pseudodifferential operators with symbols of the Hörmander class S _{1, δ} ^m , 0 ≤ δ < 1, in Hölder-Zygmund spaces on ? ⁿ and obtain a Beals-type characterization of such operators. By way of application, we show that the inverse of a pseudodifferential operator invertible in a Hölder-Zygmund space is itself a pseudodifferential operator, and hence, the spectra of a pseudodifferential operator in the space L ₂ and in the Hölder-Zygmund spaces coincide as sets.     

Sard's theorem for mappings in Hölder and Sobolev spaces

We prove various generalizations of classical Sard's theorem to mappings f:M ^m →N ⁿ between manifolds in Hölder and Sobolev classes. It turns out that if f ∈ C ^k,λ (M ^m ,N ⁿ ), then—for arbitrary k and λ—one can obtain estimates of the Hausdorff measure of the set of critical points in a typical level set f ^?1(y). The classical theorem of Sard holds true for f ∈ C ^k with sufficiently large k, i.e., k>max(m?n,0); our estimates contain Sard's theorem (and improvements due to Dubovitskii and Bates) as special cases. For Sobolev mappings between manifolds, we describe the structure of f ^?1(y).     

Local well-posedness of lower regularity solutions for the incompressible viscoelastic fluid system

In the present paper,the local well-posedness of the incompressible viscoelastic fluid system in the whole space is proved under the following assumption on the initial data:the deformation tensor is Hlder continuous and the velocity is Lp integrable,pd,where d is the space dimension.     

A Generalization of Hörmander's Inequality-I

We give sufficient conditions to generalize Hörmander's inequality to the case of operators with multiple characteristics of order higher than two     

Partial regularity of solution to generalized Navier-Stokes problem

In the presented work, we study the regularity of solutions to the generalized Navier-Stokes problem up to a C ² boundary in dimensions two and three. The point of our generalization is an assumption that a deviatoric part of a stress tensor depends on a shear rate and on a pressure. We focus on estimates of the Hausdorff measure of a singular set which is defined as a complement of a set where a solution is Hölder continuous. We use so-called indirect approach to show partial regularity, for dimension 2 we get even an empty set of singular points.     

Estimations of Hölder Regularities and Direction of Singularity by Hart Smith and Curvelet Transforms

Using Hart Smith’s and curvelet transforms, new necessary and new sufficient conditions for an L ²(?²) function to possess Hölder regularity, uniform and pointwise, with exponent α>0 are given. Similar to the characterization of Hölder regularity by the continuous wavelet transform, the conditions here are in terms of bounds of the transforms across fine scales. However, due to the parabolic scaling, the sufficient and necessary conditions differ in both the uniform and pointwise cases. We also investigate square-integrable functions with sufficiently smooth background. Specifically, sufficient and necessary conditions, which include the special case with 1-dimensional singularity line, are derived for pointwise Hölder exponent. Inside their “cones” of influence, these conditions are practically the same, giving near-characterization of direction of singularity.     

Continuous Gaussian Multifractional Processes with Random Pointwise Hölder Regularity

Let {X(t)} _t∈? be an arbitrary centered Gaussian process whose trajectories are, with probability 1, continuous nowhere differentiable functions. It follows from a classical result, derived from zero-one law, that, with probability 1, the trajectories of X have the same global Hölder regularity over any compact interval, i.e. the uniform Hölder exponent does not depend on the choice of a trajectory. A similar phenomenon occurs with their local Hölder regularity measured through the local Hölder exponent. Therefore, it seems natural to ask the following question: Does such a phenomenon also occur with their pointwise Hölder regularity measured through the pointwise Hölder exponent? In this article, using the framework of multifractional processes, we construct a family of counterexamples showing that the answer to this question is not always positive.     

Regularized Versions of Continuous Newton's Method and Continuous Modified Newton's Method Under General Source Conditions

Regularized versions of continuous analogues of Newton's method and modified Newton's method for obtaining approximate solutions to a nonlinear ill-posed operator equation of the form F(u) = f, where F is a monotone operator defined from a Hilbert space H into itself, have been studied in the literature. For such methods, error estimates are available only under Hölder-type source conditions on the solution. In this paper, presenting the background materials systematically, we derive error estimates under a general source condition. For the special case of the regularized modified Newton's method under a Hölder-type source condition, we also carry out error analysis by replacing the monotonicity of F by a weaker assumption. This analysis facilitates inclusion of certain examples of parameter identification problems, which was not possible otherwise. Moreover, an a priori stopping rule is considered when we have a noisy data f _δ instead of f. This rule yields not only convergence of the regularized approximations to the exact solution as the noise level δ tends to zero but also provides convergence rates that are optimal under the source conditions considered.
