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

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.     

Determinants of classical SG‐pseudodifferential operators

We introduce a generalized trace functional TR in the spirit of Kontsevich and Vishik's canonical trace for classical SG‐pseudodifferential operators on and suitable manifolds, using a finite‐part integral regularization technique. This allows us to define a zeta‐regularized determinant for parameter‐elliptic operators , , . For , the asymptotics of as and of as are derived. For suitable pairs we show that coincides with the so‐called relative determinant .     

On convolution in weighted ‐spaces

A distributional generalization of Young's inequality was stated by L. Schwartz. It asserts that convolution yields a continuous bilinear map if A generalization to the weighted ‐spaces in the form was given by N. Ortner and the author in 1989. By means of interpolation theory, we improve this result with respect to the image space under certain restrictions on μ and ν. This implies limit relations in for the Poisson kernel and yields a solution of the Dirichlet problem for the half‐space with boundary values in the space By this we generalize a former result of J. Alvarez, M. Guzmán‐Partida and S. Pérez‐Esteva referring to the special case of      

Volume estimates for sections of certain convex bodies

This paper deals with volume estimates for hyperplane sections of the simplex and for m‐codimensional sections of powers of m‐dimensional Euclidean balls. In the first part we consider sections through the centroid of the n‐dimensional regular simplex. We state a volume formula and give a lower bound for the volume of sections through the centroid. In the second part we study the extremal volumes of m‐codimensional sections “perpendicular” to of unit balls in the space for all . We give volume formulas and use them to show that the normal vector (1, 0, …, 0) yields the minimal volume. Furthermore we give an upper bound for the ‐dimensional volumes for natural numbers . This bound is asymptotically attained for the normal vector as .

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.
