On improved regularity of weak solutions of some degenerate,Anisotropic elliptic systems

Summary We consider a (possibly) vector-valued function u: R^N, Rⁿ, minimizing the integral , 2-2/(n*1)<p<2, whereD _i u=u/x _i or some more general functional retaining the same behaviour, we prove higher integrability for Du: D₁ u,..., D_n–1 u L^p/(p-1) and D_nu L²; this result allows us to get existence of second weak derivatives: D(D₁ u),...,D(D_n–1u)L² and D(D_n u) L _p.This work has been supported by MURST and GNAFA-CNR.     

Impulsive fractional boundary value problem with <Emphasis Type="Italic">p</Emphasis>-Laplace operator

In the present paper, we deal with the existence and multiplicity of solutions for the following impulsive fractional boundary value problem

$$\begin{aligned} {_{t}}D_{T}^{\alpha }\left( \left| {_{0}}D_{t}^{\alpha }u(t)\right| ^{p-2}{_{0}}D_{t}^{\alpha }u(t)\right) + a(t)|u(t)|^{p-2}u(t)= & {} f(t,u(t)),\;\;t\ne t_j,\;\;\hbox {a.e.}\;\;t\in [0,T],\\ \Delta \left( {_{t}}I_{T}^{1-\alpha }\left( \left| {_{0}}D_{t}^{\alpha }u(t_j)\right| ^{p-2}{_{0}}D_{t}^{\alpha }u(t_j)\right) \right)= & {} I_j(u(t_j))\;\;j=1,2,\ldots ,n,\\ u(0)= & {} u(T) = 0. \end{aligned}$$

where \(\alpha \in (1/p, 1]\), \(1<p<\infty \), \(0 = t_0<t_1< t_2< \cdots< t_n < t_{n+1} = T\), \(f:[0,T]\times \mathbb {R} \rightarrow \mathbb {R}\) and \(I_j : \mathbb {R} \rightarrow \mathbb {R}\), \(j = 1, \ldots , n\), are continuous functions, \(a\in C[0,T]\) and

$$\begin{aligned} \Delta \left( {_{t}}I_{T}^{1-\alpha }\left( \left| {_{0}}D_{t}^{\alpha }u(t_j)\right| ^{p-2}{_{0}}D_{t}^{\alpha }u(t_j)\right) \right)= & {} {_{t}}I_{T}^{1-\alpha }\left( \left| {_{0}}D_{t}^{\alpha }u\left( t_j^+\right) \right| ^{p-2}{_{0}}D_{t}^{\alpha }u\left( t_j^+\right) \right) \\&- {_{t}}I_{T}^{1-\alpha }\left( \left| {_{0}}D_{t}^{\alpha }u(t_j^-)\right| ^{p-2}{_{0}}D_{t}^{\alpha }u\left( t_j^-\right) \right) ,\\ {_{t}}I_{T}^{1-\alpha }\left( \left| {_{0}}D_{t}^{\alpha }u\left( t_j^+\right) \right| ^{p-2}{_{0}}D_{t}^{\alpha }u\left( t_j^+\right) \right)= & {} \lim _{t \rightarrow t_j^+} {_{t}}I_{T}^{1-\alpha }\left( \left| {_{0}}D_{t}^{\alpha }u(t)\right| ^{p-2}{_{0}}D_{t}^{\alpha }u(t)\right) ,\\ {_{t}}I_{T}^{1-\alpha }\left( \left| {_{0}}D_{t}^{\alpha }u(t_j^-)\right| ^{p-2}{_{0}}D_{t}^{\alpha }u(t_j^-)\right)= & {} \lim _{t\rightarrow t_j^-}{_{t}}I_{T}^{1-\alpha }\left( \left| {_{0}}D_{t}^{\alpha }u(t)\right| ^{p-2}{_{0}}D_{t}^{\alpha }u(t)\right) . \end{aligned}$$

By using variational methods and critical point theory, we give some criteria to guarantee that the above-mentioned impulsive problems have at least one weak solution and a sequences of weak solutions.

Some Poincaré-type inequalities for functions of bounded deformation involving the deviatoric part of the symmetric gradient

It is proved that if Ω ⊂ Rⁿ {R^n}  is a bounded Lipschitz domain, then the inequality || u ||₁ \leqslant c(n)\textdiam( W)ò_W | e^D(u) | {\left\| u \right\|_1} \leqslant c(n){\text{diam}}\left( \Omega \right)\int\limits_\Omega {\left| {{\varepsilon^D}(u)} \right|} is valid for functions of bounded deformation vanishing on ∂Ω. Here e^D(u) {\varepsilon^D}(u) denotes the deviatoric part of the symmetric gradient and ò_W | e^D(u) | \int\limits_\Omega {\left| {{\varepsilon^D}(u)} \right|} stands for the total variation of the tensor-valued measure e^D(u) {\varepsilon^D}(u) . Further results concern possible extensions of this Poincaré-type inequality. Bibliography: 27 titles.

Eigenvalue problems for quasilinear elliptic systems with limiting nonlinearity

In this paper, we consider a class of quasilinear elliptic eigenvalue problems with limiting nonlinearity. First, we use the concentration-compactness principle to get the existence of a minimum uεH ₀ ¹ (ω,R ^N ) of the minimization problem \(I_{\lambda _0 } = \inf \{ \smallint _\Omega (a_{\alpha \beta } (x)g_{ij} (u)D_\alpha u^i D_\beta u^j + h(x)|u|^2 )|u \in H_0^1 (\Omega ,R^N ),\smallint _\Omega |u|^{2n/(n - 2)} = \lambda _0 \} ;\) then we apply the reverse Hölder inequality to prove thatuεL ^∞ (ω, R ^N ).

Summary LetS _i have the Wishart distributionW _p(∑_i,n_i) fori=1,2. An asymptotic expansion of the distribution of for large n=n₁+n₂ is derived, when∑ ₁∑ ₂ ⁻¹ =I+n^−1/2θ, based on an asymptotic solution of the system of partial differential equations for the hypergeometric function₂ F ₁, obtained recently by Muirhead [2]. Another asymptotic formula is also applied to the distributions of −2 log λ and −log|S ₂(S ₁+S ₂)⁻¹| under fixed∑ ₁∑ ₂ ⁻¹ , which gives the earlier results by Nagao [4]. Some useful asymptotic formulas for₁ F ₁ were investigated by Sugiura [7].     

Convergence rates of the LIL for random fields in Hilbert spaces

Considering the positive d-dimensional lattice point Z ₊ ^d (d ≥ 2) with partial ordering ≤, let {X _k: k ∈ Z ₊ ^d } be i.i.d. random variables taking values in a real separable Hilbert space (H, ‖ · ‖) with mean zero and covariance operator Σ, and set $ S_n = \sum\limits_{k \leqslant n} {X_k } $ S_n = \sum\limits_{k \leqslant n} {X_k } , n ∈ Z ₊ ^d . Let σ _i ², i ≥ 1, be the eigenvalues of Σ arranged in the non-increasing order and taking into account the multiplicities. Let l be the dimension of the corresponding eigenspace, and denote the largest eigenvalue of Σ by σ ². Let logx = ln(x ∨ e), x ≥ 0. This paper studies the convergence rates for $ \sum\limits_n {\frac{{\left( {\log \log \left| n \right|} \right)^b }} {{\left| n \right|\log \left| n \right|}}} P\left( {\left\| {S_n } \right\| \geqslant \sigma \varepsilon \sqrt {2\left| n \right|\log \log \left| n \right|} } \right) $ \sum\limits_n {\frac{{\left( {\log \log \left| n \right|} \right)^b }} {{\left| n \right|\log \left| n \right|}}} P\left( {\left\| {S_n } \right\| \geqslant \sigma \varepsilon \sqrt {2\left| n \right|\log \log \left| n \right|} } \right) .

On a class of nonlinear problems involving a p(x)-Laplace type operator

We study the boundary value problem in Ω, u = 0 on ∂Ω, where Ω is a smooth bounded domain in ℝ ^N . Our attention is focused on two cases when , where m(x) = max{p ₁(x), p ₂(x)} for any x ∈ or m(x) < q(x) < N · m(x)/(N − m(x)) for any x ∈ . In the former case we show the existence of infinitely many weak solutions for any λ > 0. In the latter we prove that if λ is large enough then there exists a nontrivial weak solution. Our approach relies on the variable exponent theory of generalized Lebesgue-Sobolev spaces, combined with a ℤ₂-symmetric version for even functionals of the Mountain Pass Theorem and some adequate variational methods.

Complete moment and integral convergence for sums of negatively associated random variables

For a sequence of identically distributed negatively associated random variables {Xn; n ≥ 1} with partial sums Sn = ∑i=1^n Xi, n ≥ 1, refinements are presented of the classical Baum-Katz and Lai complete convergence theorems. More specifically, necessary and sufficient moment conditions are provided for complete moment convergence of the form ∑n≥n0 n^r-2-1/pq anE（max1≤k≤n｜Sk｜^1/q-∈bn^1/qp）^＋〈∞to hold where r 〉 1, q 〉 0 and either n0 = 1,0 〈 p 〈 2, an = 1,bn = n or n0 = 3,p = 2, an = 1 （log n） ^1/2q, bn=n log n. These results extend results of Chow and of Li and Spataru from the indepen- dent and identically distributed case to the identically distributed negatively associated setting. The complete moment convergence is also shown to be equivalent to a form of complete integral convergence.
