Triebel-Lizorkin space boundedness of rough singular integrals associated to surfaces of revolution

We consider the boundedness of the rough singular integral operator T_(?,ψ,h) along a surface of revolution on the Triebel-Lizorkin space F~α_( p,q)(R~n) for ? ∈ H~1(~(Sn-1)) and ? ∈ Llog~+L(S~(n-1)) ∪_1q∞(B~((0,0))_q(S~(n-1))), respectively.     

Convergence and superconvergence analyses of HDG methods for time fractional diffusion problems

We study the hybridizable discontinuous Galerkin (HDG) method for the spatial discretization of time fractional diffusion models with Caputo derivative of order 0 < α < 1. For each time t ∈ [0, T], when the HDG approximations are taken to be piecewise polynomials of degree k ≥ 0 on the spatial domain Ω, the approximations to the exact solution u in the L _∞(0, T; L ₂(Ω))-norm and to ?u in the \(L_{\infty }(0, \textit {T}; \mathbf {L}_{2}({\Omega }))\)-norm are proven to converge with the rate h ^k+1 provided that u is sufficiently regular, where h is the maximum diameter of the elements of the mesh. Moreover, for k ≥ 1, we obtain a superconvergence result which allows us to compute, in an elementwise manner, a new approximation for u converging with a rate h ^k+2 (ignoring the logarithmic factor), for quasi-uniform spatial meshes. Numerical experiments validating the theoretical results are displayed.     

<Emphasis Type="Italic">L</Emphasis><Superscript>2</Superscript>(ℝ<Superscript><Emphasis Type="Italic">n</Emphasis></Superscript>) boundedness for Calderón commutator with rough variable kernel

For b ∈ Lip(?ⁿ); the Calderón commutator with variable kernel is defined by

$$[b,{T_1}]f(x) = p.v.\int_{{R n}} {\frac{{\Omega (x,x - y)}}{{|x - y{| {n + 1}}}}(b(x) - b(y))f(y)dy} $$

In this paper, we establish the L²(?ⁿ) boundedness for [b, T₁] with Ω(x, z′) ∈ L^∞(?ⁿ)-L^q(S^n-1) (q > 2(n-1)=n) satisfying certain cancellation conditions. Moreover, the exponent q > 2(n-1)/n is optimal. Our main result improves a previous result of Calderón.

     

Riesz basis property of system of root functions of second-order differential operator with involution

The properties of the root functions are studied for an arbitrary operator generated in L ₂(?1, 1) by the operation with involution of the form Lu = ?u″(x)+αu″(?x)+q(x)u(x)+ qν(x)u(ν(x)), where α ∈ (?1, 1), ν(x) is an absolutely continuous involution of the segment [?1, 1] and the coefficients q(x) and qν(x) are summable functions on (?1, 1). Necessary and sufficient conditions are obtained for the unconditional basis property in L ₂(?1, 1) for the system of the root functions of the operator.     

A tracing of the fractional temperature field

This paper is devoted to a study of L~q-tracing of the fractional temperature field u(t, x)—the weak solution of the fractional heat equation(?_t +(-?_x)~α)u(t, x) = g(t, x) in L~p(R_+~(1+n)) subject to the initial temperature u(0, x) = f(x) in L~p(R~n).     

Integral approximation of the characteristic function of an interval by trigonometric polynomials

We prove that the value E _n?1(χ _h ) _L of the best integral approximation of the characteristic function χ _h of an interval (?h, h) on the period [?π,π) by trigonometric polynomials of degree at most n ? 1 is expressed in terms of zeros of the Bernstein function cos {nt ? arccos[(2q ? (1 + q ²) cost)/(1 + q ² ? 2q cost)]}, t ∈ [0, π], q ∈ (?1,1). Here, the parameters q, h, and n are connected in a special way; in particular, q = sech ? tanh for h = π/n.     

Kolmogorov type inequalities for norms of Riesz derivatives of multivariate functions and some applications

Let L _∞,s ¹ (? ^m ) be the space of functions f ∈ L _∞(? ^m ) such that ?f/?x _i ∈ L _s (? ^{m) for each i = 1, ...,m} . New sharp Kolmogorov type inequalities are obtained for the norms of the Riesz derivatives ∥D ^α f∥_∞ of functions f ∈ L _∞,s ¹ (? ^m ). Stechkin’s problem on approximation of unbounded operators D ^α by bounded operators on the class of functions f ∈ L _∞,s ¹ (? ^m ) such that ∥?f∥ _s ≤ 1 and the problem of optimal recovery of the operator D ^α on elements from this class given with error δ are solved.     

Equiconvergence of expansions in multiple Fourier series and in fourier integrals with “lacunary sequences of partial sums”

We investigate the equiconvergence on T^N = [?π, π)^N of expansions in multiple trigonometric Fourier series and in the Fourier integrals of functions f ∈ L_p(T^N) and g ∈ L_p(R^N), p > 1, N ≥ 3, g(x) = f(x) on T^N, in the case where the “partial sums” of these expansions, i.e., S_n(x; f) and J_α(x; g), respectively, have “numbers” n ∈ Z^N and α ∈ R^N (n_j = [α_j], j = 1,..., N, [t] is the integral part of t ∈ R¹) containing N ? 1 components which are elements of “lacunary sequences.”     

On an approach to the analysis of asymptotic properties of solutions of first-order ordinary delay differential equations

For the first-order ordinary delay differential equation

$$u'(t) + p(t)u(r(t)) = 0,$$

where p ∈ L _loc(?₊; ?₊), τ ∈ C(?₊; ?₊), τ(t) ≤ t for t ∈ ?₊, lim_t→+∞ τ(t) = +∞, and ?₊:= [0, ∞), we obtain new criteria for the existence of sign-definite and oscillating solutions, thus generalizing some earlier-known results.

     

Obstructions to the uniform stability of a <Emphasis Type="Italic">C</Emphasis><Subscript>0</Subscript>-semigroup

Let T _t : X → X be a C ₀-semigroup with generator A. We prove that if the abscissa of uniform boundedness of the resolvent s ₀(A) is greater than zero then for each nondecreasing function h(s): ?₊ → R ₊ there are x′ ∈ X′ and x ∈ X satisfying ∫ ₀ ^∞ h(|〈x′, T _x x〉|)dt = ∞. If i? ∩ Sp(A) ≠ Ø then such x may be taken in D(A ^∞).     

Bessel Property of the System of Root Functions of a Second-Order Singular Operator on an Interval

For the system of root functions of an operator defined by the differential operation ?u″ + p(x)u′ + q(x)u, x ∈ G = (0, 1), with complex-valued singular coefficients, sufficient conditions for the Bessel property in the space L₂(G) are obtained and a theorem on the unconditional basis property is proved. It is assumed that the functions p(x) and q(x) locally belong to the spaces L₂ and W₂^?1, respectively, and may have singularities at the endpoints of G such that q(x) = q_R(x) +q′S(x) and the functions q_S(x), p(x), q ₂ ^S (x)w(x), p²(x)w(x), and q_R(x)w(x) are integrable on the whole interval G, where w(x) = x(1 ? x).     

Magnetic Bi-harmonic differential operators on Riemannian manifolds and the separation problem

In this paper we obtain sufficient conditions for the bi-harmonic differential operator A = Δ_E² + q to be separated in the space L² (M) on a complete Riemannian manifold (M,g) with metric g, where Δ_E is the magnetic Laplacian onM and q ≥ 0 is a locally square integrable function on M. Recall that, in the terminology of Everitt and Giertz, the differential operator A is said to be separated in L² (M) if for all u ∈ L² (M) such that Au ∈ L² (M) we have Δ_E²u ∈ L² (M) and qu ∈ L² (M).     

Global Well-posedness of the Stochastic Generalized Kuramoto-Sivashinsky Equation with Multiplicative Noise

Global well-posedness of the initial-boundary value problem for the stochastic generalized Kuramoto- Sivashinsky equation in a bounded domain D with a multiplicative noise is studied. It is shown that under suitable sufficient conditions, for any initial data u₀ ∈ L₂(D × Ω), this problem has a unique global solution u in the space L₂(Ω, C([0, T], L₂(D))) for any T >0, and the solution map u₀ ? u is Lipschitz continuous.     

Fujita type conditions to heat equation with variable source

This paper studies heat equation with variable exponent u _t = Δu + u^p(x) + u ^q in ? ^N × (0, T), where p(x) is a nonnegative continuous, bounded function, 0 < p_? = inf p(x) ≤ p(x) ≤ sup p(x) = p₊. It is easy to understand for the problem that all nontrivial nonnegative solutions must be global if and only if max {p₊, q} ≤ 1. Based on the interaction between the two sources with fixed and variable exponents in the model, some Fujita type conditions are determined that that all nontrivial nonnegative solutions blow up in finite time if 0 < q ≤ 1 with p₊ > 1, or 1 < q < 1 + \(\frac{2}{N}\). In addition, if q > 1 + \(\frac{2}{N}\), then (i) all solutions blow up in finite time with 0 < p_? ≤ p₊ ≤ 1 + \(\frac{2}{N}\); (ii) there are both global and nonglobal solutions for p_? > 1 + \(\frac{2}{N}\); and (iii) there are functions p(x) such that all solutions blow up in finite time, and also functions p(x) such that the problem possesses global solutions when p_? < 1 + \(\frac{2}{N}\) < p₊.     

Asymptotic expansion of the solution of the initial value problem for a singularly perturbed ordinary differential equation

We consider the Cauchy problem for the nonlinear differential equation

$$\varepsilon \frac{{du}}{{dx}} = f(x,u),u(0,\varepsilon ) = R_0 ,$$

where ? > 0 is a small parameter, f(x, u) ∈ C ^∞ ([0, d] × ?), R ₀ > 0, and the following conditions are satisfied: f(x, u) = x ? u ^p + O(x ² + |xu| + |u|^p+1) as x, u → 0, where p ∈ ? \ {1} f(x, 0) > 0 for x > 0; f _u ²(x, u) < 0 for (x, u) ∈ [0, d] × (0, + ∞); Σ ₀ ^+∞ f _u ²(x, u) du = ?∞. We construct three asymptotic expansions (external, internal, and intermediate) and prove that the matched asymptotic expansion approximates the solution uniformly on the entire interval [0, d].

     

Every graph is (2,3)-choosable

A total weighting of a graph G is a mapping ? that assigns to each element z ∈ V (G)∪E(G) a weight ?(z). A total weighting ? is proper if for any two adjacent vertices u and v, ∑ _e∈E(u) ?(e)+?(u)≠∑ _e∈E(v) ?(e)+?(v). This paper proves that if each edge e is given a set L(e) of 3 permissible weights, and each vertex v is given a set L(v) of 2 permissible weights, then G has a proper total weighting ? with ?(z) ∈ L(z) for each element z ∈ V (G)∪E(G).     

On multiple zeros of a partial theta function

We consider the partial theta function θ(q, x) := ∑_j=0^∞q^j(j+1)/2x^j, where x ∈ ? is a variable and q ∈ ?, 0 < |q| < 1, is a parameter. We show that, for any fixed q, if ζ is a multiple zero of the function θ(q, · ), then |ζ| ≤ 8¹¹.     

Polynomial dynamical systems and the Korteweg—de Vries equation

We explicitly construct polynomial vector fields L_k, k = 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, on the complex linear space C⁶ with coordinates X = (x₂, x₃, x₄) and Z = (z₄, z₅, z₆). The fields L_k are linearly independent outside their discriminant variety Δ ? C⁶ and are tangent to this variety. We describe a polynomial Lie algebra of the fields L_k and the structure of the polynomial ring C[X,Z] as a graded module with two generators x₂ and z₄ over this algebra. The fields L₁ and L₃ commute. Any polynomial P(X,Z) ∈ C[X,Z] determines a hyperelliptic function P(X,Z)(u₁, u₃) of genus 2, where u₁ and u₃ are the coordinates of trajectories of the fields L₁ and L₃. The function 2x₂(u₁, u₃) is a two-zone solution of the Korteweg–de Vries hierarchy, and ?z₄(u₁, u₃)/?u₁ = ?x₂(u₁, u₃)/?u₃.     

On the equiconvergence rate of trigonometric series expansions and eigenfunction expansions for the Sturm-Liouville operator with a distributional potential

We study the Sturm-Liouville operator L = ?d ²/dx ² + q(x) in the space L ₂[0, π] with the Dirichlet boundary conditions. We assume that the potential has the form q(x) = u′(x), u ∈ W ₂ ^θ [0, π], 0 < θ < 1/2. We consider the problem on the uniform (on the entire interval [0, π]) equiconvergence of the expansion of a function f(x) in a series in the system of root functions of the operator L with its Fourier expansion in the system of sines. We show that if the antiderivative u(x) of the potential belongs to any of the spaces W ₂ ^θ [0, π], 0 < θ < 1/2, then the equiconvergence rate can be estimated uniformly over the ball u(x) ∈ B _R = {v(x) ∈ W ₂ ^θ [0, π] | ∥v∥_{W 2} ^θ ≤ R} for any function f(x) ∈ L ₂[0, π].

We prove that, given a sequence {ak}_k=1^∞ with a_k ↓ 0 and {ak}_k=1^∞ ? l₂, reals 0 < ε < 1 and p ∈ [1, 2], and f ∈ L^p(0, 1), we can find f ∈ L^p(0, 1) with mes{f ≠ f < ε whose nonzero Fourier–Walsh coefficients c_k(f) are such that |c_k(f)| = a_k for k ∈ spec(f).
