Decay estimates for nonlinear nonlocal diffusion problems in the whole space

In this paper, we obtain bounds for the decay rate in the L ^r (? ^d )-norm for the solutions of a nonlocal and nonlinear evolution equation, namely, $$u_t \left( {x,t} \right) = \int_{\mathbb{R}^d } {K\left( {x,y} \right)\left| {u\left( {y,t} \right) - u\left( {x,t} \right)} \right|^{p - 2} \left( {u\left( {y,t} \right) - u\left( {x,t} \right)} \right)dy, x \in \mathbb{R}^d , t > 0.}$$ . We consider a kernel of the form K(x, y) = ψ(y?a(x)) + ψ(x?a(y)), where ψ is a bounded, nonnegative function supported in the unit ball and a is a linear function a(x) = Ax. To obtain the decay rates, we derive lower and upper bounds for the first eigenvalue of a nonlocal diffusion operator of the form $$T\left( u \right) = - \int_{\mathbb{R}^d } {K\left( {x,y} \right)\left| {u\left( y \right) - u\left( x \right)} \right|^{p - 2} \left( {u\left( y \right) - u\left( x \right)} \right)dy, 1 \leqslant p < \infty .}$$ . The upper and lower bounds that we obtain are sharp and provide an explicit expression for the first eigenvalue in the whole space ? ^d : $$\lambda _{1,p} \left( {\mathbb{R}^d } \right) = 2\left( {\int_{\mathbb{R}^d } {\psi \left( z \right)dz} } \right)\left| {\frac{1} {{\left| {\det A} \right|^{1/p} }} - 1} \right|^p .$$ Moreover, we deal with the p = ∞ eigenvalue problem, studying the limit of λ _1,p ^1/p as p→∞.     

Commutators of Marcinkiewicz integral with rough kernels on Sobolev spaces

In this paper, the authors give the boundedness of the commutator [b, ??_??,?? ] from the homogeneous Sobolev space $\dot L_\gamma ^p \left( {\mathbb{R}^n } \right)$ to the Lebesgue space L ^p (? ⁿ ) for 1 < p < ??, where ??_??,?? denotes the Marcinkiewicz integral with rough hypersingular kernel defined by $\mu _{\Omega ,\gamma } f\left( x \right) = \left( {\int_0^\infty {\left| {\int_{\left| {x - y} \right| \leqslant t} {\frac{{\Omega \left( {x - y} \right)}} {{\left| {x - y} \right|^{n - 1} }}f\left( y \right)dy} } \right|^2 \frac{{dt}} {{t^{3 + 2\gamma } }}} } \right)^{\frac{1} {2}} ,$ , with ?? ?? L ¹(S ^n?1) for $0 < \gamma < min\left\{ {\frac{n} {2},\frac{n} {p}} \right\}$ or ?? ?? L(log⁺ L) ^?? (S ^n?1) for $\left| {1 - \frac{2} {p}} \right| < \beta < 1\left( {0 < \gamma < \frac{n} {2}} \right)$ , respectively.     

Embeddings of weighted sobolev spaces and generalized Caffarelli-Kohn-Nirenberg inequalities

We characterize all the real numbers a, b, c and 1 ?? p, q, r < ?? such that the weighted Sobolev space $$W_{\{ a,b\} }^{\{ q,q\} }({R^N}\backslash \{ 0\} ): = \{ u \in L_{loc}^1({R^N}\backslash \{ 0\} ):{\left| x \right|^{a/q}} \in {L^q}({R^{N),}}{\left| x \right|^{b/p}}\nabla u \in {({L^p}({R^N}))^N}\} $$ is continuously embedded into $${L^r}({R^N};{\left| x \right|^c}dx): = \{ u \in L_{loc}^1({R^N}\backslash \{ 0\} ):{\left| x \right|^{c/r}}u \in {L^r}({R^N})\} $$ with norm ??·?? _c,r . It turns out that, except when N ?? 2 and a = c = b ? p = ?N, such an embedding is equivalent to the multiplicative inequality $${\left\| u \right\|_{c,r}} \le C\left\| {\nabla u} \right\|_{b,p}^\theta \left\| u \right\|_{a,q}^{1 - \theta }$$ for some suitable ?? ?? [0, 1], which is often but not always unique. If a, b, c > ?N, then C ₀ ^?? (? ^N ) ? W _{a,b} ^(q,p) (? ^N {0}) ?? L ^r (? ^N ; |x| ^c dx) and such inequalities for u ?? C ₀ ^?? (? ^N ) are the well-known Caffarelli-Kohn-Nirenberg inequalities; but their generalization to W _{a,b} ^(q,p) (? ^N {0}) cannot be proved by a denseness argument. Without the assumption a, b, c > ?N, the inequalities are essentially new, even when u ?? C ₀ ^?? (? ^N {0}), although a few special cases are known, most notably the Hardy-type inequalities when p = q. In a different direction, the embedding theorem easily yields a generalization when the weights |x| ^a , |x| ^b and |x| ^c are replaced with more general weights w _a ,w _b and w _c , respectively, having multiple power-like singularities at finite distance and at infinity.     

Existence and Concentration of Bound States of a Class of Nonlinear SchrSdinger Equations in R2 with Potential Tending to Zero at Infinity

In this paper, we establish the existence and concentration of solutions of a class of nonlinear Schr?dinger equation $$- \varepsilon ^2 \Delta u_\varepsilon + V\left( x \right)u_\varepsilon = K\left( x \right)\left| {u_\varepsilon } \right|^{p - 2} u_\varepsilon e^{\alpha _0 \left| {u_\varepsilon } \right|^\gamma } , u_\varepsilon > 0, u_\varepsilon \in H^1 \left( {\mathbb{R}^2 } \right),$$ where 2 < p < ∞, α ₀ > 0, 0 < γ < 2. When the potential function V (x) decays at infinity like (1 + |x|)^?α with 0 < α ≤ 2 and K(x) > 0 are permitted to be unbounded under some necessary restrictions, we will show that a positive H ¹(?²)-solution u _? exists if it is assumed that the corresponding ground energy function G(ξ) of nonlinear Schr?dinger equation $- \Delta u + V\left( \xi \right)u = K\left( \xi \right)\left| u \right|^{p - 2} ue^{\alpha _0 \left| u \right|^\gamma }$ has local minimum points. Furthermore, the concentration property of u _? is also established as ? tends to zero.     

On the existence and smoothness of a generalized solution of a nonlinear differential equation with degeneration

Let Ω be an arbitrary open set in R _n , and let σ(x) and g _i (x), i = 1, 2, ..., n, be positive functions in Ω. We prove a embedding theorem of different metrics for the spaces W _p ^r (Ω, σ, $ \vec g $ ), where r ∈ N, p ≥ 1, and $ \vec g $ (x) = (g ₁(x), g ₂(x), ..., g _n (x)), with the norm $$ \left\| {u;W_p^r (\Omega ;\sigma ,\vec g)} \right\| = \left\{ {\left\| {u;L_{p,r}^r (\Omega ;\sigma ,\vec g)} \right\|^p + \left\| {u;L_{p,r}^0 (\Omega ;\sigma ,\vec g)} \right\|^p } \right\}^{{1 \mathord{\left/ {\vphantom {1 p}} \right. \kern-\nulldelimiterspace} p}} , $$ where $$ \left\| {u;L_{p,r}^m (\Omega ;\sigma ,\vec g)} \right\| = \left\{ {\sum\limits_{\left| k \right| = m} {\int\limits_\Omega {(\sigma (x)g_1^{k_1 - r} (x)g_2^{k_2 - r} (x) \cdots g_n^{k_n - r} (x)\left| {u^{(k)} (x)} \right|)^p dx} } } \right\}^{{1 \mathord{\left/ {\vphantom {1 p}} \right. \kern-\nulldelimiterspace} p}} , $$ We use this theorem to prove the existence and uniqueness of a minimizing element U(x) ∈ W _p ^r (Ω, σ, $ \vec g $ ) for the functional $$ \Phi (u) = \sum\limits_{\left| k \right| \leqslant r} {\frac{1} {{p_k }}\int\limits_\Omega {a_k (x)} \left| {u^{(k)} (x)} \right|^{p_k } } dx - \left\langle {F,u} \right\rangle , $$ where F is a given functional. We show that the function U(x) is a generalized solution of the corresponding nonlinear differential equation. For the case in which Ω is bounded, we study the differential properties of the generalized solution depending on the smoothness of the coefficients and the right-hand side of the equation.     

Applications of weighted estimates of Calderon’s commutators

The paper introduces singular integral operators of a new type defined in the space L ^p with the weight function on the complex plane. For these operators, norm estimates are derived. Namely, if V is a complex-valued function on the complex plane satisfying the condition |V(z) ? V(??)| ?? w|z ? ??| and F is an entire function, then we put $$P_F^* f(z) = \mathop {\sup }\limits_{\varepsilon > 0} \left| {\int\limits_{\left| {\zeta - z} \right| > \varepsilon } {F\left( {\frac{{V(\zeta ) - V(z)}} {{\zeta - z}}} \right)\frac{{f(\zeta )}} {{\left( {\zeta - z} \right)^2 }}d\sigma (\zeta )} } \right|.$$ It is shown that if the weight function ?? is a Muckenhoupt A _p weight for 1 < p < ??, then $$\left\| {P_F^* f} \right\|_{p,\omega } \leqslant C(F,w,p)\left\| f \right\|_{p,\omega } .$$ .     

Weak type (1,1) bounds for a Marcinkiewicz integral

In this paper, the two-dimensional Marcinkewicz integral introduced by Stein μ(f)(x)=(∫_0~x|∫_(|x-y|≤1) _(|x-y|)~(Ω(x-y))f(y)dy|~2t~(-3)dt)~2is shown to be of weak type (1,1) and weighted weak type (1,1) with respect to power weight |x|~" if- 1< α< 0, where Ω is homogeneous of degree 0. has mean value 0 and belongs to Llog~+L(S~1).     

Existence and uniqueness of solutions of nonlinear elliptic equations without growth conditions at infinity

In this paper, we consider the nonlinear elliptic problem $$ - \Delta u + {\left| u \right|^{p - 1}}u + {\left| {\nabla u} \right|^q} = f$$ in ? ^N , where p > 1 and q > 0. We show that if f ?? L _loc ^r (? ^N ) for suitable r ?? 1, then there exists a distributional solution of the equation, independently of the behavior of f at infinity. We also analyze the uniqueness of this solution in some cases.     

Regularity results for a class of obstacle problems in Heisenberg groups

We study regularity results for solutions u ∈ HW ^1,p (Ω) to the obstacle problem $$\int_\Omega \mathcal{A} \left( {x,\nabla _{\mathbb{H}^u } } \right)\nabla _\mathbb{H} \left( {v - u} \right)dx \geqslant 0 \forall v \in \mathcal{K}_{\psi ,u} \left( \Omega \right)$$ such that u ? ψ a.e. in Ω, where $xxx$ , in Heisenberg groups ? ⁿ . In particular, we obtain weak differentiability in the T-direction and horizontal estimates of Calderon-Zygmund type, i.e. $$\begin{gathered} T\psi \in HW_{loc}^{1,p} \left( \Omega \right) \Rightarrow Tu \in L_{loc}^p \left( \Omega \right), \hfill \\ \left| {\nabla _{\mathbb{H}\psi } } \right|^p \in L_{loc}^q \left( \Omega \right) \Rightarrow \left| {\nabla _{\mathbb{H}^u } } \right|^p \in L_{loc}^q \left( \Omega \right), \hfill \\ \end{gathered}$$ where 2 < p < 4, q > 1.     

A weighted Hardy inequality and nonexistence of positive solutions

In this article, we prove that the following weighted Hardy inequality $$\begin{array}{ll}\big(\frac{|{d-p}|}{p}\big)^{p}\, \int\limits_{\Omega}\, \frac{|{u}|^{p}}{|{x}|^{p}}\;d\mu \\ \quad \quad \le \int\limits_{\Omega}\,|{\nabla u}|^{p}\;d\mu+ \big(\frac{|{d-p}|}{p}\big)^{p-1}\,\textrm{sgn}(d-p)\,\int\limits_{\Omega}|{u}|^{p}\,\frac{(x^{t}Ax)^{p/2}}{|{x}|^{p}}\; d\mu \quad \quad \quad (1) \end{array}$$ holds with optimal Hardy constant ${\big(\frac{|d-p|}{p}\big)^{p}}$ for all ${u \in W^{1,p}_{\mu,0}(\Omega)}$ if the dimension d ≥ 2, 1 < p < d, and for all ${u \in W^{1,p}_{\mu,0}(\Omega{\setminus}\{0\})}$ if p > d ≥ 1. Here we assume that Ω is an open subset of ${\mathbb{R}^{d}}$ with ${0 \in \Omega}$ , A is a real d × d-symmetric positive definite matrix, c > 0, and $$ d \mu: = \rho(x) \,dx \qquad \textrm{with} \quad \rho(x) = c \cdot \exp(-\frac{1}{p}(x^{t}Ax)^{p/2}), \quad x \in\Omega.\quad \quad (2) $$ If p > d ≥ 1, then we can deduce from (1) a weighted Poincaré inequality on ${W^{1,p}_{\mu,0}(\Omega \setminus\{0\})}$ . Due to the optimality of the Hardy constant in (1), we can establish the nonexistence (locally in time) of positive weak solutions of a p-Kolmogorov parabolic equation perturbed by a singular potential in dimension d = 1, for 1 < p <  + ∞, and when Ω =  ]0, + ∞[.     

On the best constants in the Khintchine inequality for Steinhaus variables

Let S _j : (Ω, P) → S ¹ ? ? be an i.i.d. sequence of Steinhaus random variables, i.e. variables which are uniformly distributed on the circle S ¹. We determine the best constants a _p in the Khintchine-type inequality $${a_p}{\left\| x \right\|_2} \leqslant {\left( {{\text{E}}{{\left| {\sum\limits_{j = 1}^n {{x_j}{S_j}} } \right|}^p}} \right)^{1/p}} \leqslant {\left\| x \right\|_2};{\text{ }}x = ({x_j})_{j = 1}^n \in {{\Bbb C}^n}$$ for 0 < p < 1, verifying a conjecture of U. Haagerup that $${a_p} = \min \left( {\Gamma {{\left( {\frac{p}{2} + 1} \right)}^{1/p}},\sqrt 2 {{\left( {{{\Gamma \left( {\frac{{p + 1}}{2}} \right)} \mathord{\left/ {\vphantom {{\Gamma \left( {\frac{{p + 1}}{2}} \right)} {\left[ {\Gamma \left( {\frac{p}{2} + 1} \right)\sqrt \pi } \right]}}} \right. \kern-\nulldelimiterspace} {\left[ {\Gamma \left( {\frac{p}{2} + 1} \right)\sqrt \pi } \right]}}} \right)}^{1/p}}} \right)$$ . Both expressions are equal for p = p ₀ }~ 0.4756. For p ≥ 1 the best constants a _p have been known for some time. The result implies for a norm 1 sequence x ∈ ? ⁿ , ‖x‖₂ = 1, that $${\text{E}}\ln \left| {\frac{{{S_1} + {S_2}}}{{\sqrt 2 }}} \right| \leqslant {\text{E}}\ln \left| {\sum\limits_{j = 1}^n {{x_j}{S_j}} } \right|$$ , answering a question of A. Baernstein and R. Culverhouse.     

On Stability of Pseudo-Conformal Blowup for L 2-critical Hartree NLS

We consider L ²-critical focusing nonlinear Schrödinger equations with Hartree type nonlinearity $i \partial_{t} u = - \Delta u - \left(\Phi \ast |u|^2 \right) u \quad {\rm in}\, \mathbb {R}^4,$ where Φ(x) is a perturbation of the convolution kernel |x|^?2. Despite the lack of pseudo-conformal invariance for this equation, we prove the existence of critical mass finite-time blowup solutions u(t, x) that exhibit the pseudo-conformal blowup rate $\| \nabla u(t) \|_{L^2_x}\sim \frac{1}{|t|} \quad {\rm as}\, t \nearrow 0.$ Furthermore, we prove the finite-codimensional stability of this conformal blow up, by extending the nonlinear wave operator construction by Bourgain and Wang (see Bourgain and Wang in Ann. Scuola Norm Sup Pisa Cl Sci (4) 25(1–2), 197–215, 1997/1998) to L ²-critical Hartree NLS.     

Multiple solvability of certain elliptic problems with critical nonlinearity exponents

It is proved that the problem $$\mathop {\sum\nolimits_{i = 1}^v {\nabla _i (|\nabla u|^{p - 2} \nabla _i u)^ - |u|^{p * - 1} u + \lambda |u|^{p - 2} u = 0 in \Omega .} }\limits_{n = 0 on \partial \Omega .}$$ where Ω ?R ^N a singly-connected region with an “odd” boundary, N > p, and p^* = Np/(N ? p) is a critical Sobolev exponent, has, under the appropriate conditions on λ, q, and N, no less than (2N+2) nontrivial solutions in \(\mathop W\limits^0 _{p^1 } (\Omega )\) .     

Estimates of maximal functions measuring local smoothness

Letη be a nondecreasing function on (0, 1] such thatη(t)/t decreases andη(+0)=0. Letf ∈L(I ⁿ ) (I≡[0,1]. Set $${\mathcal{N}}_\eta f(x) = \sup \frac{1}{{\left| Q \right|\eta (\left| Q \right|^{1/n} )}} \smallint _Q \left| {f(t) - f(x)} \right|dt,$$ , where the supremum is taken over all cubes containing the pointx. Forη=t ^α (0<α≤1) this definition was given by A.Calderón. In the paper we prove estimates of the maximal functions ${\mathcal{N}}_\eta f$ , along with some embedding theorems. In particular, we prove the following Sobolev type inequality: if $$1 \leqslant p< q< \infty , \theta \equiv n(1/p - 1/q)< 1, and \eta (t) \leqslant t^\theta \sigma (t),$$ , then $$\parallel {\mathcal{N}}_\sigma {f} {\parallel_{q,p}} \leqslant c \parallel {\mathcal{N}}_\eta {f} {\parallel_p} .$$ . Furthermore, we obtain estimates of ${\mathcal{N}}_\eta f$ in terms of theL ^p -modulus of continuity off. We find sharp conditions for ${\mathcal{N}}_\eta f$ to belong toL ^p (I ⁿ ) and the Orlicz class?(L), too.     

Strong approximation of Riesz means at critical index on Hp(T) (0<p≤1)

This paper is a continuation of [3]. Suppose f∈H^p(T), 0σ _r ^σ f,σ=1/p?1. When p=1, it is just the partial Fourier sums S_kf. In this paper we establish the sharp estimations on the degree of approximation: $$\left\{ { - \frac{1}{{logR}}\int\limits_1^R {\left\| {\sigma _r^\delta f - f} \right\|_{H^p (T)}^p \frac{{dr}}{r}} } \right\}^{1/p} \leqq C{\mathbf{ }}{}_p\omega \left( {f,{\mathbf{ }}( - \frac{1}{{logR}})^{1/p} } \right)_{H^p (T)} ,0< p< 1,$$ and \(\frac{1}{{\log L}}\sum\limits_{k - 1}^L {\frac{{\left\| {S_k f - f} \right\|_H 1_{(T)} }}{k} \leqq Cp\omega (f; - \frac{1}{{\log L}})_H 1_{(T)} } \) Where $$\omega (f,{\mathbf{ }}h)_{H^p (T)} \begin{array}{*{20}c} { = Sup} \\ {0 \leqq \left| u \right| \leqq h} \\ \end{array} \left\| {f( \cdot + u) - f( \cdot )} \right\|_{H^p (T).} $$ .     

Infinitely many small solutions for the p(x)-Laplacian operator with nonlinear boundary conditions

In this paper, we prove the existence of infinitely many small solutions to the following quasilinear elliptic equation ?Δ _p(x) u +  |u| ^p(x)-2 u =  f (x, u) in a smooth bounded domain Ω of ${\mathbb{R}^N}$ with nonlinear boundary conditions ${|\nabla u|^{p-2}\frac{\partial u}{\partial\nu} = |u|^{{q(x)-2}}u}$ . We also assume that ${\{q(x) = p^\ast(x)\}\neq \emptyset}$ , where p*(x) =  Np(x)/(N ? p(x)) is the critical Sobolev exponent for variable exponents. The proof is based on a new version of the symmetric mountain-pass lemma due to Kajikiya, and property of these solutions is also obtained.     

New Orlicz variants of Hardy type inequalities with power, power-logarithmic, and power-exponential weights

We obtain Hardy type inequalities $$\int_0^\infty {M\left( {\omega \left( r \right)\left| {u\left( r \right)} \right|} \right)\rho \left( r \right)dr} \leqslant C_1 \int_0^\infty {M\left( {\left| {u\left( r \right)} \right|} \right)\rho \left( r \right)dr + C_2 \int_0^\infty {M\left( {\left| {u'\left( r \right)} \right|} \right)\rho \left( r \right)dr,} }$$ and their Orlicz-norm counterparts $$\left\| {\omega u} \right\|_{L^M (\mathbb{R}_ + ,\rho )} \leqslant \tilde C_1 \left\| u \right\|_{L^M (\mathbb{R}_ + ,\rho )} + \tilde C_2 \left\| {u'} \right\|_{L^M (\mathbb{R}_ + ,\rho )} ,$$ with an N-function M, power, power-logarithmic and power-exponential weights ??, ??, holding on suitable dilation invariant supersets of C ₀ ^?? (?₊). Maximal sets of admissible functions u are described. This paper is based on authors?? earlier abstract results and applies them to particular classes of weights.     

Hausdorff dimension of Lebesgue sets for W α p classes on metric spaces

Let (X, μ, d) be a space of homogeneous type, where d and p are a metric and a measure, respectively, related to each other by the doubling condition with γ > 0. Let W _α ^p (X) be generalized Sobolev classes, let Cap_{α p} (where p > 1 and 0 < α ≤ 1) be the corresponding capacity, and let dim_H be the Hausdorff dimension. We show that the capacity Cap_{α p} is related to the Hausdorff dimension; we also prove that, for each function u ∈ W _α/p (X), p > 1, 0 < a < γ/p, there exists a set E ? X such that dim _H (E) ≤ γ - αp, the limit $$\mathop {\lim }\limits_{r \to + 0} \frac{1}{{\mu (B(x,r))}}\int_{B(x,r)} {u d\mu = u * (x)} $$ exists for each x ∈ X\E, and moreover $$\mathop {\lim }\limits_{r \to + 0} \frac{1}{{\mu (B(x,r))}}\int_{B(x,r)} {\left| {u - u * (x)} \right|^q d\mu = 0, \frac{1}{q} = \frac{1}{p} - \frac{\alpha }{\gamma }.} $$ .
