Hölder estimates for solutions of the Cauchy problem for the porous medium equation with external forces

We study the interior Hölder regularity problem for weak solutions of the porous medium equation with external forces. Since the porous medium equation is the typical example of degenerate parabolic equations, Hölder regularity is a delicate matter and does not follow by classical methods. Caffrelli-Friedman, and Caffarelli-Vazquez-Wolansky showed Hölder regularity for the model equation without external forces. DiBenedetto and Friedman showed the Hölder continuity of weak solutions with some integrability conditions of the external forces but they did not obtain the quantitative estimates. The quantitative estimates are important for studying the perturbation problem of the porous medium equation. We obtain the scale invariant Hölder estimates for weak solutions of the porous medium equations with the external forces. As a particular case, we recover the well known Hölder estimates for the linear heat equation.     

On the extension of Hölder maps with values in spaces of continuous functions

We study the isometric extension problem for Hölder maps from subsets of any Banach space intoc ₀ or into a space of continuous functions. For a Banach spaceX, we prove that anyα-Hölder map, with 0<α ≤1, from a subset ofX intoc ₀ can be isometrically extended toX if and only ifX is finite dimensional. For a finite dimensional normed spaceX and for a compact metric spaceK, we prove that the set ofα’s for which allα-Hölder maps from a subset ofX intoC(K) can be extended isometrically is either (0, 1] or (0, 1) and we give examples of both occurrences. We also prove that for any metric spaceX, the above described set ofα’s does not depend onK, but only on finiteness ofK.

Exceptional case of the linear conjugation problem in weighted Hölder classes

We study the linear conjugation problem for the case in which the coefficient of the problem may have finitely many zeros and/or pole singularities on the contour. All studies are carried out in weighted H¨older classes with complex weight. We obtain a closed-form expression for the solution and the solvability conditions.

Ergodicity of scalar stochastic differential equations with Hölder continuous coefficients

It is well-known that for a one dimensional stochastic differential equation driven by Brownian noise, with coefficient functions satisfying the assumptions of the Yamada–Watanabe theorem (Yamada and Watanabe, 1971, [31,32]) and the Feller test for explosions (Feller, 1951, 1954), there exists a unique stationary distribution with respect to the Markov semigroup of transition probabilities. We consider systems on a restricted domain $D$ of the phase space $\mathbb{R}$ and study the rate of convergence to the stationary distribution. Using a geometrical approach that uses the so called free energy function on the density function space, we prove that the density functions, which are solutions of the Fokker–Planck equation, converge to the stationary density function exponentially under the Kullback–Leibler divergence, thus also in the total variation norm. The results show that there is a relation between the Bakry–Émery curvature dimension condition and the dissipativity condition of the transformed system under the Fisher–Lamperti transformation. Several applications are discussed, including the Cox–Ingersoll–Ross model and the Ait-Sahalia model in finance and the Wright–Fisher model in population genetics.     

Area formulas for classes of Hölder continuous mappings of Carnot groups

We prove area formulas for classes of the mappings that are Hölder continuous in the sub-Riemannian sense and defined on nilpotent graded groups. Moreover, in one of the model cases, we establish an area formula for calculating the initial measure and a measure close to it.     

On local classical solutions to the Cauchy problem of the two-dimensional barotropic compressible Navier–Stokes equations with vacuum

This paper concerns the Cauchy problem of the barotropic compressible Navier–Stokes equations on the whole two-dimensional space with vacuum as far field density. In particular, the initial density can have compact support. When the shear and the bulk viscosities are a positive constant and a power function of the density respectively, it is proved that the two-dimensional Cauchy problem of the compressible Navier–Stokes equations admits a unique local strong solution provided the initial density decays not too slow at infinity. Moreover, if the initial data satisfy some additional regularity and compatibility conditions, the strong solution becomes a classical one.     

On the Cauchy problem for systems —Parabolic systems—

The author proposes the definition of thep-parabolic system, which is stable under the similar transformations, using thep-determinant of the matrix of differential operators. The relation between thep-parabolic systems andH ^∞ well-posedness is considered. To the memory of Lamberto Cattabriga     

On the asymptotics of solutions to the second initial boundary value problem for Schrödinger systems in domains with conical points

In this paper, for the second initial boundary value problem for Schrödinger systems, we obtain a performance of generalized solutions in a neighborhood of conical points on the boundary of the base of infinite cylinders. The main result are asymptotic formulas for generalized solutions in case the associated spectrum problem has more than one eigenvalue in the strip considered.     

Hölder continuity for continuous solutions of the singular minimal surface equation with arbitrary zero set

In this paper we prove the following theorem: Let \(\Omega \subset \mathbb {R}^{n}\) be a bounded open set, \(\psi \in C_{c}^{2}(\mathbb {R}^{n})\), \(\psi > 0\) on \(\partial \Omega \), be given boundary values and u a nonnegative solution to the problem

$$\begin{aligned}&u \in C^{0}(\overline{\Omega }) \cap C^{2}(\{u> 0\}) \\&u = \psi \quad \text { on } \; \partial \Omega \\&{\text {div}} \left( \frac{Du}{\sqrt{1 + |Du|^{2}}}\right) = \frac{\alpha }{u \sqrt{1 + |Du|^{2}}} \quad \text { in } \; \{u > 0\} \end{aligned}$$

where \(\alpha > 0\) is a given constant. Then \(u \in C^{0, \frac{1}{2}} (\overline{\Omega })\). Furthermore we prove strict mean convexity of the free boundary \(\partial \{u = 0\}\) provided \(\partial \{u = 0\}\) is assumed to be of class \(C^{2}\) and \(\alpha \ge 1\).
