Generalization of tangential trace spaces of H(curl,Ω) for curvilinear Lipschitz polyhedral domains Ω

For curvilinear Lipschitz polyhedral domains Ω, explicit characterizations of the tangential trace spaces of H ¹(Ω) are presented. These extend the original characterizations given by Buffa and Ciarlet that hold on Lipschitz polyhedral domains with plane faces. The tangential trace spaces of H ¹(Ω) are fundamental for the definition, analysis and intuitive understanding of the trace spaces of H ( curl ,Ω) and therefore, more general characterizations of the latter are obtained at the same time.

Higher integrability for nonlinear elliptic equations with variable growth and discontinuous coefficients

In this paper, based on the theory of variable exponent spaces, we study the higher integrability for a class of nonlinear elliptic equations with variable growth and discontinuous coefficients. Under suitable assumptions, we obtain a local gradient estimate in Orlicz space for weak solution.     

C0-estimates and smoothness of solutions to the parabolic equation defined by Kimura operators

Kimura diffusions serve as a stochastic model for the evolution of gene frequencies in population genetics. Their infinitesimal generator is an elliptic differential operator whose second-order coefficients matrix degenerates on the boundary of the domain. In this article, we consider the inhomogeneous initial-value problem defined by generators of Kimura diffusions, and we establish $C^0$-estimates, which allows us to prove that solutions to the inhomogeneous initial-value problem are smooth up to the boundary of the domain where the operator degenerates, even when the initial data is only assumed to be continuous.     

Volumes of unit balls of mixed sequence spaces

The volume of the unit ball of the Lebesgue sequence space is very well known since the times of Dirichlet. We calculate the volume of the unit ball of the mixed norm , whose special cases are nowadays popular in machine learning under the name of group Lasso. We give two proofs of the main results, one in the spirit of Dirichlet, the other one using polarization identities. The result is given by a closed formula involving the gamma function, only slightly more complicated than the one of Dirichlet. We consider the real as well as the complex case. We also consider the anisotropic unit balls. We close by an overview of open problems.     

On the global existence and time decay estimates in critical spaces for the Navier–Stokes–Poisson system

We are concerned with the study of the Cauchy problem for the Navier–Stokes–Poisson system in the critical regularity framework. In the case of a repulsive potential, we first establish the unique global solvability in any dimension for small perturbations of a linearly stable constant state. Next, under a suitable additional condition involving only the low frequencies of the data and in the L²‐critical framework (for simplicity), we exhibit optimal decay estimates for the constructed global solutions, which are similar to those of the barotropic compressible Navier–Stokes system. Our results rely on new a priori estimates for the linearized Navier–Stokes–Poisson system about a stable constant equilibrium, and on a refined time‐weighted energy functional.     

How do the positive embeddings of Banach lattices depend on the αth derivatives of K?

Let K and S be locally compact Hausdorff spaces and X be an abstract space. Suppose that T is a positive Banach lattice isomorphism from into . Then for each ordinal α the cardinalities of the αth derivatives and satisfy the following inequality Moreover, if then is a continuous image of a subset of which can be taken closed when K is compact. The first statement of this result for is a vector‐valued extension of a Cengiz's theorem and the second one is vector‐valued version of a Holsztyński's theorem. A simple example shows that the number is sharp in these vector‐valued theorems.     

Entropy numbers in ‐Banach spaces

Let X be a quasi‐Banach space, Y be a γ‐Banach space and T be a bounded linear operator from X into Y . In this paper, we prove that the first outer entropy number of T lies between and ; more precisely, , and the constant is sharp. Moreover, we show that there exist a Banach space X ₀, a γ‐Banach space Y ₀ and a bounded linear operator such that for all positive integers k . Finally, the paper also provides two‐sided estimates for entropy numbers of embeddings between finite dimensional symmetric γ‐Banach spaces.     

On slice hyperholomorphic fractional Hardy spaces

In this paper we introduce and study the fractional Hardy spaces of the half space and of the unit ball in the quaternionic setting. In particular, we discuss their properties of invariance and of factorization in terms of functions in the Hardy space of the half space in the first case, and in terms of a suitable reproducing kernel Hilbert space in the case of the unit ball.     

A fresh approach to the Paley–Wiener theorem for Mellin transforms and the Mellin–Hardy spaces

Here we give a new approach to the Paley–Wiener theorem in a Mellin analysis setting which avoids the use of the Riemann surface of the logarithm and analytical branches and is based on new concepts of polar‐analytic function in the Mellin setting and Mellin–Bernstein spaces. A notion of Hardy spaces in the Mellin setting is also given along with applications to exponential sampling formulas of optical physics.     

On Burenkov's extension operator preserving Sobolev–Morrey spaces on Lipschitz domains

We prove that Burenkov's extension operator preserves Sobolev spaces built on general Morrey spaces, including classical Morrey spaces. The analysis concerns bounded and unbounded open sets with Lipschitz boundaries in the n‐dimensional Euclidean space.
