Partial regularity of stable solutions to the supercritical equations and its applications

We prove the partial regularity of stable solutions of supercritical elliptic equations. As an application, we prove that any smooth stable entire solution to supercritical equations with p$p$ in a suitable range is radially symmetric.     

Notes on generalized information functions

Solutions of functional equations, connected with deviations (divergences, inaccuracies) and with inset entropies of degree , are supplemented and completed. No regularity assumptions are made.     

Local real analyticity of solutions for sums of squares of non-linear vector fields

We consider quasilinear partial differential equations whose linearizations have a symplectic characteristic variety of codimension 2. We consider in detail a model case of a sum of squares of (non-linear) vector fields: with a positive definite, real analytic function h(.,.,.) and prove that moderately smooth solutions u must be real analytic locally where the right-hand side is. The techniques even in this case are new and we consider only this model in this first paper in order to avoid detailed consideration of the first author's complicated localization of high powers of ∂/∂t introduced in Proc. Nat. Acad. Sci. USA 75 (1980) 3027; Acta Mathematica 145, 177.     

The regularity for nonlinear parabolic systems of p-Laplacian type with critical growth

We study the Hölder regularity of weak solutions to the evolutionary p  -Laplacian system with critical growth on the gradient. We establish a natural criterion for proving that a small solution and its gradient are locally Hölder continuous almost everywhere. Actually our regularity result recovers the classical result in the case p=2$p=2$ [16] and can be applied to study the regularity of the heat flow for m-dimensional H-systems as well as the m-harmonic flow.     

Regularization and general methods in the theory of functional equations

Summary The aim of this paper is to give a survey of two fields of the theory of non-iterated functional equations with two variables. One is the application of new, general methods of functional analysis, harmonic analysis and other topics to get a unified treatment of several kinds of equations. The other includes general regularity results for non-iterated functional equations with two variables.     

Optimal uniqueness theorems and exact blow-up rates of large solutions

In this paper, we prove some optimal uniqueness results for large solutions of a canonical class of semilinear equations under minimal regularity conditions on the weight function in front of the non-linearity and combine these results with the localization method introduced in [López-Gómez, The boundary blow-up rate of large solutions, J. Differential Equations 195 (2003) 25-45] to prove that any large solution L of Δu=a(x)u^p, p>1, a>0, must satisfy

     

Higher regularity for free boundary and tangential derivative problems and global solutions to regular reflections for the unsteady transonic small disturbance (UTSD) equations

We establish C^2,α$C^{2,\alpha }$-estimates for solutions of a class of quasilinear elliptic equations with free boundary and tangential derivative boundary problems. Using this regularity result we show the existence of global solutions to regular shock reflections for the unsteady transonic small disturbance (UTSD) equation. We also present Lipschitz estimates near the degenerate Dirichlet boundary (the sonic boundary) for the UTSD equation.     

A unified proof on the partial regularity for suitable weak solutions of non-stationary and stationary Navier–Stokes equations

The partial regularity of the suitable weak solutions to the Navier–Stokes equations in Rⁿ${\mathbb{R}}^n$ with n=2,3,4$n=2,3,4$ and the stationary Navier–Stokes equations in Rⁿ${\mathbb{R}}^n$ for n=2,3,4,5,6$n=2,3,4,5,6$ are investigated in this paper. Using some elementary observation of these equations together with De Giorgi iteration method, we present a unified proof on the results of Caffarelli, Kohn and Nirenberg [1], Struwe [17], Dong and Du [5], and Dong and Strain [7]. Particularly, we obtain the partial regularity of the suitable weak solutions to the 4d non-stationary Navier–Stokes equations, which improves the previous result of [5], where Dong and Du studied the partial regularity of smooth solutions of the 4d Navier–Stokes equations at the first blow-up time.     

Gradient regularity for elliptic equations in the Heisenberg group

We give dimension-free regularity conditions for a class of possibly degenerate sub-elliptic equations in the Heisenberg group exhibiting super-quadratic growth in the horizontal gradient; this solves an issue raised in [J.J. Manfredi, G. Mingione, Regularity results for quasilinear elliptic equations in the Heisenberg group, Math. Ann. 339 (2007) 485-544], where only dimension dependent bounds for the growth exponent are given. We also obtain explicit a priori local regularity estimates, and cover the case of the horizontal p-Laplacean operator, extending some regularity proven in [A. Domokos, J.J. Manfredi, C1,α-regularity for p-harmonic functions in the Heisenberg group for p near 2, in: Contemp. Math., vol. 370, 2005, pp. 17-23]. In turn, using some recent techniques of Caffarelli and Peral [L. Caffarelli, I. Peral, On W1,p estimates for elliptic equations in divergence form, Comm. Pure Appl. Math. 51 (1998) 1-21], the a priori estimates found are shown to imply the suitable local Calderón-Zygmund theory for the related class of non-homogeneous, possibly degenerate equations involving discontinuous coefficients. These last results extend to the sub-elliptic setting a few classical non-linear Euclidean results [T. Iwaniec, Projections onto gradient fields and Lp-estimates for degenerated elliptic operators, Studia Math. 75 (1983) 293-312; E. DiBenedetto, J.J. Manfredi, On the higher integrability of the gradient of weak solutions of certain degenerate elliptic systems, Amer. J. Math. 115 (1993) 1107-1134], and to the non-linear case estimates of the same nature that were available in the sub-elliptic setting only for solutions to linear equations.     

Mean-value type functional equations

Summary In this work the following two conjectures concerning mean-value type functional equations are proved: then-dimensional octahedron and cube equations are equivalent (conjectured by D. Z. Djokovi and H. Haruki), and the continuous solutions of these equations on ⁿ are linear combinations of a given harmonic polynomial (conjectured by H. Haruki).     

Gevrey class regularity for quasi-linear sub-elliptic equations of second order

In this work we study the Gevrey regularity of solutions to a general class of second order quasi-linear equations. Under some kind of sub-ellipticity conditions, we obtain the Gevrey regularity of weak solutions to these equations.     

Itô's formula in UMD Banach spaces and regularity of solutions of the Zakai equation

Using the theory of stochastic integration for processes with values in a UMD Banach space developed recently by the authors, an Itô formula is proved which is applied to prove the existence of strong solutions for a class of stochastic evolution equations in UMD Banach spaces. The abstract results are applied to prove regularity in space and time of the solutions of the Zakai equation.     

Self-similar solutions and large time asymptotics for the dissipative quasi-geostrophic equation

We analyze the well-posedness of the initial value problem for the dissipative quasi-geostrophic equations in the subcritical case. Mild solutions are obtained in several spaces with the right homogeneity to allow the existence of self-similar solutions. While the only small self-similar solution in the strong space is the null solution, infinitely many self-similar solutions do exist in weak- spaces and in a recently introduced [7] space of tempered distributions. The asymptotic stability of solutions is obtained in both spaces, and as a consequence, a criterion of self-similarity persistence at large times is obtained.

A higher-dimensional partial Legendre transform, and regularity of degenerate Monge-Ampère equations

In dimension n?3, we define a generalization of the classical two-dimensional partial Legendre transform, that reduces interior regularity of the generalized Monge-Ampère equation to regularity of a divergence form quasilinear system of special form. This is then used to obtain smoothness of C^2,1 solutions, having n-1 nonvanishing principal curvatures, to certain subelliptic Monge-Ampère equations in dimension n?3. A corollary is that if k?0 vanishes only at nondegenerate critical points, then a C^2,1 convex solution u is smooth if and only if the symmetric function of degree n-1 of the principal curvatures of u is positive, and moreover, u fails to be when not smooth.
