On global existence of solutions to a cross-diffusion system

We consider a strongly coupled nonlinear parabolic system which arises in population dynamics in n-dimensional domains (n?1). We prove the global existence of classical solutions to the system for n<10.     

Necessary and Sufficient Conditions for the Boundedness of the Riesz Potential in Local Morrey-type Spaces

The problem of the boundedness of the Riesz potential I _α , 0 < α < n, in local Morrey-type spaces is reduced to the boundedness of the Hardy operator in weighted L _p -spaces on the cone of non-negative non-increasing functions. This allows obtaining sufficient conditions for the boundedness in local Morrey-type spaces for all admissible values of the parameters. Moreover, for a certain range of the parameters, these sufficient conditions coincide with the necessary ones. V. Guliyev’s research was partially supported by the grant of the Azerbaijan-U. S.

The LIL for <Emphasis Type="Italic">U</Emphasis>-Statistics in Hilbert Spaces

We give necessary and sufficient conditions for the (bounded) law of the iterated logarithm for U-statistics in Hilbert spaces. As a tool we also develop moment and tail estimates for canonical Hilbert-space valued U-statistics of arbitrary order, which are of independent interest. R.

Carleman estimates and unique continuation property for the anisotropic differential-operator equations

The unique continuation theorems for the anisotropic partial differential-operator equations with variable coeffcients in Banach-valued Lp-spaces are studied.To obtain the uniform maximal regularity and the Carleman type estimates for parameter depended differential-operator equations,the suffcient conditions are founded.By using these facts,the unique continuation properties are established.In the application part,the unique continuation properties and Carleman estimates for finite or infinite systems of quasielliptic partial differential equations are studied.     

Measures on double or resonant eigenvalues for linear Schrödinger operator

In this paper we consider linear Schrödinger operator with double or resonant eigenvalues. The main result is the bound of the measure (in a suitable space of functions) of the potentials leading to such double or resonant eigenvalues. Namely we present measure type estimates evaluating neighborhoods of the so-called double or resonant set.     

A posteriori error estimates by recovered gradients in parabolic finite element equations

This paper considers a posteriori error estimates by averaged gradients in second order parabolic problems. Fully discrete schemes are treated. The theory from the elliptic case as to when such estimates are asymptotically exact, on an element, is carried over to the error on an element at a given time. The basic principle is that the elliptic theory can be extended to the parabolic problems provided the time-step error is smaller than the space-discretization error. Numerical illustrations confirming the theoretical results are given. Our results are not practical in the sense that various constants can not be estimated realistically. They are conceptual in nature. AMS subject classification (2000)  65M60, 65M20, 65M15     

Spectral radius, index estimates for Schrödinger operators and geometric applications

In this paper we study the existence of a first zero and the oscillatory behavior of solutions of the ordinary differential equation ^′(vz^′)+Avz=0, where A, v are functions arising from geometry. In particular, we introduce a new technique to estimate the distance between two consecutive zeros. These results are applied in the setting of complete Riemannian manifolds: in particular, we prove index bounds for certain Schrödinger operators, and an estimate of the growth of the spectral radius of the Laplacian outside compact sets when the volume growth is faster than exponential. Applications to the geometry of complete minimal hypersurfaces of Euclidean space, to minimal surfaces and to the Yamabe problem are discussed.

On the spatial blow-up and decay for some nonlinear parabolic equations with nonlinear boundary conditions

In this note we investigate the spatial behavior of several nonlinear parabolic equations with nonlinear boundary conditions. Under suitable conditions on the nonlinear terms we prove that the solutions either cease to exist for a finite value of the spatial variable or else they decay algebraically. The main tool used is the weighted energy method. Our results can be applied to several situations concerning heat conduction. Received: April 4, 2004; revised: September 20, 2004     

A Phragmèn-Lindelöf principle for the thermoelastic cylinder of variable cross-section

We consider a non-prismatic cylinder consisting of an anisotropic, compressible, inhomogeneous thermoelastic material, subject to either null tractions or null displacements on the lateral boundary and loaded by a self-equilibrated force system at one end. We show that the mean square cross-sectional measures of the temperature and the coupled displacement—temperature either grow faster than an exponentially increasing function of axial distance or decrease faster than a decaying exponential function of axial distance. We thus establish a Phragmèn-Lindelöf principle for the thermoelastic cylinder of variable cross-section.

Sommario Viene considerato un cilindro non-prismatico costituito da un materiale termoelastico, anisotropo, comprimibile ed omogeneo. Il cilindro é soggetto a zero trazioni o zero dislocamenti sul limite laterale ed é caricato su uno dei termini con un sistema autoequilibrilata delle forze. Mostriamo che il valore medio quadratico della temperatura e dell'accoppiata della temperatura ed il dislocamento cresce più veloce che una funzione esponenziale crescente della distanza assiale o diminuisce più veloce che una funzione esponenziale declinante della distanza assiale. Viene stabilito un principio di Phragmèn-Lindelöf per il cilindro termoelastico di sezione trasversale variabile.
