Leggett-Williams norm-type theorems for coincidences

We study the existence of positive solutions to the operator equation Lx = Nx, where L is a linear Fredholm mapping of index zero and N is a nonlinear operator. Using the properties of cones in Banach spaces and Leray-Schauder degree for completely continuous operators, k-set contractions and condensing mappings, we obtain some refinements of the results established in [3] and [14].

Ergodic theory and iterative solution of linear operator equations

In this paper we consider the problem of approximating solutions of linear operator equations of the type u-Tu=f. The main tools are Dotson's extension of the Eberlein ergodic theorem to affine mappings and the DeMoivre-Laplace theorem of probability theory. The main results are applied to obtain theorems on the iterative approximation of solutions of linear operator equations in Hilbert space and the approximation in L ^ρ norm of solutions of a certain functional equation in the space L ^∞     

On Iterations of Non–Negative Operators and Their Applications to Elliptic Systems

Let H₀, H₁ be Hilbert spaces and L : H₀ → H₁ be a linear bounded operator with ∥L∥ ≤ 1. Then L*L is a bounded linear self–adjoint non–negative operator in the Hilbert space H₀ and one can use the Neumann series Σ^∞_v=0(I — L*L)^v L*f in order to stud solvabilit of the operator equation Lu = f. In particular, applying this method to the ill–posed Cauch problem for solutions to an elliptic system Pu = 0 of linear PDE's of order p with smoothcoefficients we obtain solvabilit conditions and representation formulae for solutions of the problem in Hardy spaces whenever these solutions exist. For the Cauch–Riemann system in ℂ the summands of the Neumann series are iterations of the Cauch type integral.     

Approximate source conditions in Tikhonov–Phillips regularization and consequences for inverse problems with multiplication operators

The object of this paper is threefold. First, we investigate in a Hilbert space setting the utility of approximate source conditions in the method of Tikhonov–Phillips regularization for linear ill‐posed operator equations. We introduce distance functions measuring the violation of canonical source conditions and derive convergence rates for regularized solutions based on those functions. Moreover, such distance functions are verified for simple multiplication operators in L²(0, 1). The second aim of this paper is to emphasize that multiplication operators play some interesting role in inverse problem theory. In this context, we give examples of non‐linear inverse problems in natural sciences and stochastic finance that can be written as non‐linear operator equations in L²(0, 1), for which the forward operator is a composition of a linear integration operator and a non‐linear superposition operator. The Fréchet derivative of such a forward operator is a composition of a compact integration and a non‐compact multiplication operator. If the multiplier function defining the multiplication operator has zeros, then for the linearization an additional ill‐posedness factor arises. By considering the structure of canonical source conditions for the linearized problem it could be expected that different decay rates of multiplier functions near a zero, for example the decay as a power or as an exponential function, would lead to completely different ill‐posedness situations. As third we apply the results on approximate source conditions to such composite linear problems in L²(0, 1) and indicate that only integrals of multiplier functions and not the specific character of the decay of multiplier functions in a neighbourhood of a zero determine the convergence behaviour of regularized solutions.

Exponential decay for distributed bilinear control systems with damping

Let Ω be a bounded open domain in ℝ ^N ,A an unbounded, selfadjoint, positive and coercive linear operator onL ² (Ω). We consider feedback stabilization for the distributed bilinear control systemy″(t)+Ay(t)+Dy′(t)+u(t)By(t)=0, whereD andB are linear bounded operators fromL ²(Ω) toL ²(Ω). Under suitable assumptions onB andD, a nonlinear feedback ensuring uniform exponential decay of solutions is given. Various applications to vibrating processes are presented.

Regularization with differential operators. I. General theory

The method of regularization is used to obtain least squares solutions of the linear equation Kx = y, where K is a bounded linear operator from one Hilbert space into another and the regularizing operator L is a closed densely defined linear operator. Existence, uniqueness, and convergence analyses are developed. An application is given to the special case when K is a first kind integral operator and L is an nth order differential operator in the Hilbert space L²[a, b].

Semi‐linear wave models with power non‐linearity and scale‐invariant time‐dependent mass and dissipation,II

This paper is a continuation of our recent paper 8 . We will consider the semi‐linear Cauchy problem for wave models with scale‐invariant time‐dependent mass and dissipation and power non‐linearity. The goal is to study the interplay between the coefficients of the mass and the dissipation term to prove global existence (in time) of small data energy solutions assuming suitable regularity on the L² scale with additional L¹ regularity for the data. In order to deal with this L² regularity in the non‐linear part, we will develop and employ some tools from Harmonic Analysis.     

A Generalized Analytic Operator-Valued Function Space Integral and a Related Integral Equation

We introduce a generalized Wiener measure associated with a Gaussian Markov process and define a generalized analytic operator-valued function space integral as a bounded linear operator from L _p into L _p^\prime (1<p ≤ 2) by the analytic continuation of the generalized Wiener integral. We prove the existence of the integral for certain functionals which involve some Borel measures. Also we show that the generalized analytic operator-valued function space integral satisfies an integral equation related to the generalized Schr?dinger equation. The resulting theorems extend the theory of operator-valued function space integrals substantially and previous theorems about these integrals are generalized by our results.

Nonlinear boundary value problems and operators TT1

We consider nonlinear boundary value problems of the type $\text{L? + N? = 0}$ for the existence of solutions. It is assumed that L is a 2nth-order linear differential operator in the real Hilbert space S = L²[a, b] which admits a decomposition of the form $\text{L =}{}^{\mathrm{TT1}}$ where T is an nth-order linear differential operator and N is a nonlinear operator defined on a subspace of S. The decomposition of L induces a natural decomposition of the generalized inverse of L. Using the method of “alternative problems,” we split the boundary value problem into an equivalent system of two equations. The theory of monotone operators and the theory of nonlinear Hammerstein equations are then utilized to consider the solvability of the equivalent system.     

Weighted Hardy's inequality and the Kolmogorov equation perturbed by an inverse-square potential

In this article, we give necessary and sufficient conditions for the existence of a weak solution of a Kolmogorov equation perturbed by an inverse-square potential. More precisely, using a weighted Hardy's inequality with respect to an invariant measure μ, we show the existence of the semigroup solution of the parabolic problem corresponding to a generalized Ornstein–Uhlenbeck operator perturbed by an inverse-square potential in L ²(? ^N ,?μ). In the case of the classical Ornstein–Uhlenbeck operator we obtain nonexistence of positive exponentially bounded solutions of the parabolic problem if the coefficient of the inverse-square function is too large.     

Morse homology for the heat flow – Linear theory

Consider the linear parabolic partial differential equation ${\mathcal {D}}_u\xi =0$ which arises by linearizing the heat flow on the loop space of a Riemannian manifold M. The solutions are vector fields along infinite cylinders u in M. For these solutions we establish regularity and a priori estimates. We show that for nondegenerate asymptotic boundary conditions the solutions decay exponentially in L² in forward and backward time. In this case ${\mathcal {D}}_u$ viewed as linear operator from the parabolic Sobolev space ${\mathcal {W}}^{1,p}$ to L^p is Fredholm whenever p > 1. We close with an L^p estimate for products of first order terms which is a crucial ingredient in the sequel 13 to prove regularity and the implicit function theorem. The results of the present text are the base to construct in 13 an algebraic chain complex whose homology represents the homology of the loop space.     

Divergence L 2-Coercivity Inequalities

This paper derives sharp L ²-coercivity inequalities for the divergence operator on bounded Lipschitz regions in ? ⁿ . They hold for fields in H(div,Ω) that are orthogonal to N(div). The optimal constants in the inequality are defined by a variational principle and are identified as the least eigenvalue of a nonstandard boundary value problem for a linear biharmonic type operator. The dependence of the optimal constant under dilations of the region is described and a generalization that involves weighted surface integrals is also proved. When n = 2, this also yields a similar coercivity result for the curl operator.     

N-group neutron transport theory: A criticality problem in slab geometry

The steady-state equation for N-group neutron transport in slab geometry is written as an integral equation. A spectral analysis is made of the integral operator and related to the criticality problem. The method depends on a representation for the resolvent kernel for a subcritical slab and on analytic continuation in a complex parameter to characterize eigenvalues in terms of singularities of the resolvent. The analytic continuation is based on a bifurcation analysis of some nonlinear matrix integral equations whose solutions provide a matrix Wiener-Hopf factorization of the Fourier transform of the kernel of the transport operator.     

含有p拉普拉斯算子方程的解的存在性研究

By using the perturbation theories on sums of ranges for nonlinear accretive mappings of Calvert and Gupta (1978), the abstract result on the existence of a solution u ∈ Lp (Ω) to nonlinear equations involving p-Laplacian operator △p, where 2N/N 1 ＜ p ＜ ∞ and N (≥ 1 )denotes the dimension of RN,is studied. The equation discussed and the methods shown in the paper are continuation and complement to the corresponding results of Li and Zhen's previous papers. To obtain the result ,some new techniques are used.     

A damped hyerbolic equation with critical exponent

The aim of this paper is twofold. First, we initiate a detailed study of the so-called X^s _θ spaces attached to a partial differential operator. This include localization, duality, microlocal representation, subelliptic estimates, solvability and L^p (L^q ) estimates. Secondly, we obtain some theorems on the unique continuation of solutions to semilinear second order hyperbolic equations across strongly pseudo-convex surfaces. These results are proved using some new L^p → L^q Carleman estimates, derived using the X^s _θ spaces. Our theorems cover the subcritical case; in the critical case, the problem remains open. Similar results hold for higher order partial differential operators, provided that characteristic set satisfies a curvature conditions.
