On the limit Sobolev regularity for Dirichlet and Neumann problems on Lipschitz domains

We construct a bounded C¹ domain Ω in for which the regularity for the Dirichlet and Neumann problems for the Laplacian cannot be improved, that is, there exists f in such that the solution of in Ω and either on or on is contained in but not in for any . An analogous result holds for Sobolev spaces with .     

A Szegő limit theorem for translation‐invariant operators on polygons

We prove Szeg?‐type trace asymptotics for translation‐invariant operators on polygons. More precisely, consider a Fourier multiplier on with a sufficiently decaying, smooth symbol . Let be the interior of a polygon and, for , define its scaled version . Then we study the spectral asymptotics for the operator , the spatial restriction of A onto : for entire functions h with we provide a complete asymptotic expansion of as . These trace asymptotics consist of three terms that reflect the geometry of the polygon. If P is replaced by a domain with smooth boundary, a complete asymptotic expansion of the trace has been known for more than 30 years. However, for polygons the formula for the constant order term in the asymptotics is new. In particular, we show that each corner of the polygon produces an extra contribution; as a consequence, the constant order term exhibits an anomaly similar to the heat trace asymptotics for the Dirichlet Laplacian.     

Lindelöf theorems for monotone Sobolev functions in Orlicz spaces on uniform domains

In this paper, we are concerned with Lindelöf type theorems for monotone (in the sense of Lebesgue) Sobolev functions u on a uniform domain satisfying where ? denotes the gradient, denotes the distance from z to the boundary , φ is of log‐type and ω is a weight function satisfying the doubling condition.     

A note on the eigenvalues of p‐fractional Hardy–Sobolev operator with indefinite weight

In this article, we study the eigenvalues of p‐fractional Hardy operator where , , , and Ω is an unbounded domain in with Lipschitz boundary containing 0. The weight function V may change sign and may have singular points. We also show that the least positive eigenvalue is simple and it is uniquely associated to a nonnegative eigenfunction. Moreover, we proved that there exists a sequence of eigenvalues as .     

Localized peaking regimes for quasilinear parabolic equations

This paper deals with the asymptotic behavior as of all weak (energy) solutions of a class of equations with the following model representative: with prescribed global energy function Here , , , Ω is a bounded smooth domain, . Particularly, in the case it is proved that the solution u remains uniformly bounded as in an arbitrary subdomain and the sharp upper estimate of when has been obtained depending on and . In the case for all , sharp sufficient conditions on degeneration of near that guarantee the above mentioned boundedness for an arbitrary (even large) solution have been found and the sharp upper estimate of a final profile of the solution when has been obtained.     

Well‐posedness of the Laplacian on manifolds with boundary and bounded geometry

Let M be a Riemannian manifold with a smooth boundary. The main question we address in this article is: “When is the Laplace–Beltrami operator , , invertible?” We consider also the case of mixed boundary conditions. The study of this main question leads us to the class of manifolds with boundary and bounded geometry introduced by Schick (Math. Nachr. 223 (2001), 103–120). We thus begin with some needed results on the geometry of manifolds with boundary and bounded geometry. Let be an open and closed subset of the boundary of M. We say that has finite width if, by definition, M is a manifold with boundary and bounded geometry such that the distance from a point to is bounded uniformly in x (and hence, in particular, intersects all connected components of M). For manifolds with finite width, we prove a Poincaré inequality for functions vanishing on , thus generalizing an important result of Sakurai (Osaka J. Math, 2017). The Poincaré inequality then leads, as in the classical case to results on the spectrum of Δ with domain given by mixed boundary conditions, in particular, Δ is invertible for manifolds with finite width. The bounded geometry assumption then allows us to prove the well‐posedness of the Poisson problem with mixed boundary conditions in the higher Sobolev spaces , .     

A T1 theorem and Calderón–Zygmund operators in Campanato spaces on domains

Given a Lipschitz domain , a Calderón–Zygmund operator T and a modulus of continuity , we solve the problem when the truncated operator sends the Campanato space into itself. The solution is a T1 type sufficient and necessary condition for the characteristic function of D: To check the hypotheses of T1 theorem we need extra restrictions on both the boundary of D and the operator T. It is proved that the truncated Calderón–Zygmund operator with an even kernel is bounded on , provided D is a ‐smooth domain.     

Non‐autonomous forms and invariance

We generalize the Beurling–Deny–Ouhabaz criterion for parabolic evolution equations governed by forms to the non‐autonomous, non‐homogeneous and semilinear case. Let be Hilbert spaces such that V is continuously and densely embedded in H and let be the operator associated with a bounded H‐elliptic form for all . Suppose is closed and convex and the orthogonal projection onto . Given and , we investigate when the solution of the non‐autonomous evolutionary problem remains in and show that this is the case if for a.e. . Moreover, we examine necessity of this condition and apply this result to a semilinear problem.     

Recurrence of singularities for second order isotropic pseudodifferential operators

Let H be a self‐adjoint isotropic elliptic pseudodifferential operator of order 2. Denote by the solution of the Schrödinger equation with initial data . If u₀ is compactly supported the solution is smooth for small , but not for all t. We determine the wavefront set of in terms of the wavefront set of u₀ and the principal and subprincipal symbol of H.

In this paper, we study the following critical fractional Schrödinger–Poisson system where is a small parameter, and , is the fractional critical exponent for 3‐dimension, has a positive global minimum, and are positive and have global maximums. We obtain the existence of a positive ground state solution by using variational methods, and we determine a concrete set related to the potentials and Q as the concentration position of these ground state solutions as . Moreover, we consider some properties of these ground state solutions, such as convergence and decay estimate.

Optimal decay for plates with rotational inertia and memory

We study the asymptotic behavior of a linear plate equation with effects of rotational inertia and a fractional damping in the memory term: where and the kernel g is exponentially decreasing. The main result of this work is the polynomial decay of their solutions when . We prove that the solutions decay with the rate and also that the decay rate is optimal. Furthermore, when , we obtain the exponential decay of the solutions.     

Fractional Kirchhoff problem with critical indefinite nonlinearity

We study the existence and multiplicity of positive solutions for a family of fractional Kirchhoff equations with critical nonlinearity of the form where is a smooth bounded domain, and . Here M is the Kirchhoff coefficient and is the fractional critical Sobolev exponent. The parameter λ is positive and the is a real valued continuous function which is allowed to change sign. By using a variational approach based on the idea of Nehari manifold technique, we combine effects of a sublinear and a superlinear term to prove our main results.

The Tarski irredundant basis theorem and the finite soluble groups

Denote by and , respectively, the smallest and the largest cardinality of a minimal generating set of a finite group G. The Tarski irredundant basis theorem implies that for every k with there exist a minimal generating set , an index and in G such that is again a minimal generating set of G. In this case we say that is an immediate descendant of ω. There are several examples of minimal generating sets of cardinality smaller than which have no immediate descendant and so it appears an interesting problem to investigate under which conditions an immediate descendant exists. In this paper we discuss this problem in the case of finite soluble groups.

We remark that the existence of heteroclinic solutions is obtained without asymptotic or growth assumptions on the nonlinearities ? and f. Moreover, as far as we know, our main result is even new when , that is, for the equation
