Nonlinear degenerate parabolic equations for Baouendi–Grushin operators

In this paper, we shall investigate the nonexistence of positive solutions for the following nonlinear parabolic partial differential equations: and Here, Ω is a Carnot–Carathéodory metric ball in R ^N and V ∈ L ¹_loc(Ω). The critical exponents m * and p * are found, and the nonexistence results are proved for m * ≤ m < 1 and p * ≤ p < 2. (© 2006 WILEY‐VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim)     

Weighted estimates for maximal multilinear commutators

Let T be a Calderón–Zygmund operator with regular kernel K and T * _b be the maximal multilinear commutator defined by . In this paper, the following weighted estimates for T * _b are discussed. Precisely, for 0 < p < ∞, ω ∈ A _∞ and b _j ∈ Osc equation/tex2gif-inf-5.gif, r_j ≥ 1, j = 1, … , m , there exists a positive constant C such that . For p = 1 and ω ∈ A ₁, the weighted weak L (log L )^1/r ‐type estimates are also established. Our theorems are parallel to the ones of the multilinear commutators of Calderón–Zygmund operators obtained in [18] and extend the main result in [14] essentially. (© 2006 WILEY‐VCH Verlag GmbH & Co.

Anti‐periodic solutions for evolution equations with mappings in the class (S+)

In this paper, we study the existence of anti‐periodic solutions for the first order evolution equation in a Hilbert space H, where G : H → ? is an even function such that ?G is a mapping of class (S₊) and f : ? → ? satisfies f(t + T) = –f(t) for any t ∈ ? with f(·) ∈ L²(0, T; H).

Certain classes of potentials for p ‐Laplacian to be non‐degenerate

Given a positive integer n and an exponent 1 ≤ α ≤ ∞. We will find explicitly the optimal bound r_n such that if the L^α norm of a potential q (t ) satisfies ‖q ‖equation/tex2gif-inf-2.gif < r_n then the n ^th Dirichlet eigenvalue of the onedimensional p ‐Laplacian with the potential q (t ): (|u ′|^{p –2} u ′)′ + (λ + q (t )) |u |^{p –2}u = 0 (1 < p < ∞) will be positive. Using these bounds, we will construct, for the Dirichlet, the Neumann, the periodic or the antiperiodic boundary conditions, certain classes of potentials q (t ) so that the p ‐Laplacian with the potential q (t ) is non‐degenerate, which means that the above equation with λ = 0 has only the trivial solution verifying the corresponding boundary condition.

On the Lp–Lq maximal regularity for Stokes equations with Robin boundary condition in a bounded domain

We obtain the L_p–L_q maximal regularity of the Stokes equations with Robin boundary condition in a bounded domain in ?ⁿ (n?2). The Robin condition consists of two conditions: v ? u=0 and αu+β(T(u, p)v – 〈T(u, p)v, v〉v)=h on the boundary of the domain with α, β?0 and α+β=1, where u and p denote a velocity vector and a pressure, T(u, p) the stress tensor for the Stokes flow and v the unit outer normal to the boundary of the domain. It presents the slip condition when β=1 and non‐slip one when α=1, respectively. The slip condition is appropriate for problems that involve free boundaries.

On weighted inequalities for martingale transform operators

For 1 < p < ∞, the almost surely finiteness of is a necessary and sufficient condition in order to have almost surely convergence of the sequences {E(f|?_n)} with f ∈ L^p(v dP). This condition is also equivalent to have weighted inequalities from L^p(v dP) into L^p(u dP) for some weight u for Doob's maximal function, square function and generalized Burkholder martingale transforms. Similarly, E(u|?₁) < ∞ turns out to be necessary and sufficient for the above weighted inequalities to hold for some v.     

Brooks-type theorems for choosability with separation

We consider the following type of problems. Given a graph G = (V, E) and lists L(v) of allowed colors for its vertices v ∈ V such that |L(v)| = p for all v ∈ V and |L(u) ∩ L(v)| ≤ c for all uv ∈ E, is it possible to find a “list coloring,” i.e., a color f(v) ∈ L(v) for each v ∈ V, so that f(u) ≠ f(v) for all uv ∈ E? We prove that every of maximum degree Δ admits a list coloring for every such list assignment, provided p ≥ . Apart from a multiplicative constant, the result is tight, as lists of length may be necessary. Moreover, for G = K_n (the complete graph on n vertices) and c = 1 (i.e., almost disjoint lists), the smallest value of p is shown to have asymptotics (1 + o(1)) . For planar graphs and c = 1, lists of length 4 suffice. ˜© 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. J Graph Theory 27: 43–49, 1998     

Blow-up of critical norms for the 3-D Navier-Stokes equations

Let u =(uh, u3) be a smooth solution of the 3-D Navier-Stokes equations in R3× [0, T). It was proved that if u3 ∈ L∞(0, T;˙B-1+3/p p,q(R3)) for 3 p, q ∞ and uh∈ L∞(0, T; BMO-1(R3)) with uh(T) ∈ VMO-1(R3), then u can be extended beyond T. This result generalizes the recent result proved by Gallagher et al.(2016), which requires u ∈ L∞(0, T;˙B-1+3/pp,q(R3)). Our proof is based on a new interior regularity criterion in terms of one velocity component, which is independent of interest.     

On density of interpolation points,a Kadec-type theorem,and Saff's principle of contamination inL p-approximation

Letf ∈L _p (I) and denote byB _n,p (f) the polynomial of bestL _p-approximation tof of degreen (1<p<∞,I=[?1,1], the norm is weightedL _p-norm with an arbitrary positive weight). Extending a result proved by Saff and Shekhtman forp=2 we show that for every 1<p<∞ andf ∈L _p (I) (not a polynomial) points of sign change of the error functionf-B _n,p (f) are dense inI asn→∞.     

The phase transition in the cluster‐scaled model of a random graph

For 0 < p < 1 and q > 0 let G_q(n,p) denote the random graph with vertex set [n]={1,…,n} such that, for each graph G on [n] with e(G) edges and c(G) components, the probability that G_q(n,p)=G is proportional to . The first systematic study of G_q(n,p) was undertaken by 6 , who analyzed the phase transition phenomenon corresponding to the emergence of the giant component. In this paper we describe the structure of G_q(n,p) very close the critical threshold. © 2005 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. Random Struct. Alg., 2006     

On Jodeit’s multiplier extension theorems

Let Δ(x) = max {1 - ¦x¦, 0} for all x ∈ ?, and let ξ_[0,1) be the characteristic function of the interval 0 ≤x < 1. Two seminal theorems of M. Jodeit assert that A and ξ_[0,1) act as summability kernels convertingp-multipliers for Fourier series to multipliers forL ^P (?). The summability process corresponding to Δ extendsL ^P (T)-multipliers from ? to ? by linearity over the intervals [n, n + 1],n ∈ ?, when 1 ≤p < ∞, while the summability process corresponding to ξ_[0,1) extends L^P(T)-multipliers by constancy on the intervals [n, n + 1),n ∈ ?, when 1 <p < ∞. We describe how both these results have the following complete generalization: for 1 ≤p < ∞, an arbitrary compactly supported multiplier forL ^P (?) will act as a summability kernel forL ^P (T)-multipliers, transferring maximal estimates from L^P(T) to L^P(?). In particular, specialization of this maximal theorem to Jodeit’s summability kernel ξ_{[0, 1)} provides a quick structural way to recover the fact that the maximal partial sum operator on L^P(?), 1 <p < ∞, inherits strong type (p,p)-boundedness from the Carleson-Hunt Theorem for Fourier series. Another result of Jodeit treats summability kernels lacking compact support, and we show that this aspect of multiplier theory sets up a lively interplay with entire functions of exponential type and sampling methods for band limited distributions.     

Coefficient multipliers of mixed norm space in the ball

In the paper, we characterize the coefficient multiplier spaces of mixed norm spaces (H _p,q (φ₁), H _u,v (φ₂)) for the values of p, q, u, v in three cases: (i) 0 < p ≤ u ≤ ∞, 0 < q ≤ min(1, v) ≤ ∞. (ii) v = ∞, 0 < p ≤ u ≤ ∞, 1 ≤ u, q ≤ ∞. (iii) 1 ≤ v ≤ 2 ≤ q ≤ ∞, and 0 < p ≤ u ≤ ∞ or 1 ≤ p, u ≤ ∞. The first case extends the result of Blasco, Jevtić, and Pavlović in one variable. The third case generalizes partly the results of Jevtić, Jovanović, and Wojtaszczyk to higher dimensions. Dedicated to Professor Sheng GONG on the occasion of his 75th birthday     

Characterization of the absence of a spectral gapfor a class of periodic Jacobi operators

Let q ∈ {2, 3} and let 0 = s₀ < s₁ < … < s_q = T be integers. For m, n ∈ Z, we put ¯m,n = {j ∈ Z| m? j ? n}. We set l_j = s_j − s_j−1 for j ∈ 1, q. Given (p₁,, p_q) ∈ R^q, let b: Z → R be a periodic function of period T such that b(·) = p_j on s_j−1 + 1, s_j for each j ∈ 1, q. We study the spectral gaps of the Jacobi operator (Ju)(n) = u(n + 1) + u(n − 1) + b(n)u(n) acting on l²(Z). By [λ_2j , λ_2j−1] we denote the jth band of the spectrum of J counted from above for j ∈ 1, T. Suppose that p_m ≠ p_n for m ≠ n. We prove that the statements (i) and (ii) below are equivalent for λ ∈ R and i ∈ 1, T − 1.     

Fractional integrals, potential operators and two-weight, weak type norm inequalities on spaces of homogeneous type

We prove two-weight, weak type norm inequalities for potential operators and fractional integrals defined on spaces of homogeneous type. We show that the operators in question are bounded from L^p(v) to L^q,∞(u), 1<p?q<∞, provided the pair of weights (u,v) verifies a Muckenhoupt condition with a “power-bump” on the weight u.     

Factorization of operator valued Lp for 0 ≤ p < 1

In [5], it is proved that a bounded linear operator u, from a Banach space Y into an L_p(S, ν) factors through L_p1 (S, ν) for some p₁ > 1, if Y* is of finite cotype; (S, ν) is a probability space for p = 0, and any measure space for 0 < p < 1. In this paper, we generalize this result to uv, where u : Y → L_p(S, ν) and v : X → Y are linear operators such that v* is of finite Ka?in cotype. This result gives also a new proof of Grothendieck's theorem. (© 2004 WILEY‐VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim)     

Higher order commutators for a class of rough operators

In this paper we study the (L ^p (u ^p ),L ^q (v ^q )) boundedness of the higher order commutatorsT _Ω,α,b ^m andM _Ω,α,b ^m formed by the fractional integral operatorT _Ω,α , the fractional maximal operatorM _Ω,α , and a functionb(x) in BMO(v), respectively. Our results imporve and extend the corresponding results obtained by Segovia and Torrea in 1993 [9]. The project was supported by NNSF of China.     

On generalized energy equality of the Navier-Stokes equations

We show that for every initial dataa εL ²(Ω) there exists a weak solutionu of the Navier-Stokes equations satisfying the generalized energy inequality introduced by Caffarelli-Kohn-Nirenberg forn=3. We also show that if a weak solutionu εL ^s (0,T;L ^q (Ω)) with 2/q + 2/s ≤ 1 and 3/q + 1/s ≤ 1 forn=3, or 2/q + 2/s ≤ 1 andq ≥ 4 forn ≥ 4, thenu satisfies both the generalized and the usual energy equalities. Moreover we show that the generalized energy equality holds only under the local hypothesis thatu εL ^s (ε, T; L ^q (K)) for all compact setsK ⊂ ⊂ Ω and all 0 <ε <T with the same (q, s) as above when 3 ≤n ≤ 10.     

On the boundedness of classical operators on weighted lorentz spaces

Conditions on weightsu(·),v(·) are given so that a classical operatorT sends the weighted Lorentz spaceL ^Lrs (vdx) intoL ^pq (udx). HereT is either a fractional maximal operatorM _α or a fractional integral operatorI _α or a Calderón-Zygmund operator. A characterization of this boundedness is obtained forM _α andI _α when the weights have some usual properties and max(r, s) ≤ min(p, q).     

On the Theory of <Emphasis Type="Italic">L</Emphasis><Subscript><Emphasis Type="Italic">p</Emphasis></Subscript>(<Emphasis Type="Italic">L</Emphasis><Subscript><Emphasis Type="Italic">q</Emphasis></Subscript>)-Banach Lattices

Given 1≤ p,q < ∞, let BL_pL_q be the class of all Banach lattices X such that X is isometrically lattice isomorphic to a band in some L_p(L_q)-Banach lattice. We show that the range of a positive contractive projection on any BL_pL_q-Banach lattice is itself in BL_pL_q. It is a consequence of this theorem and previous results that BL_pL_q is first-order axiomatizable in the language of Banach lattices. By studying the pavings of arbitrary BL_pL_q-Banach lattices by finite dimensional sublattices that are themselves in this class, we give an explicit set of axioms for BL_pL_q. We also consider the class of all sublattices of L_p(L_q)-Banach lattices; for this class (when p/q is not an integer) we give a set of axioms that are similar to Krivine’s well-known axioms for the subspaces of L_p-Banach spaces (when p/2 is not an integer). We also extend this result to the limiting case q = ∞.
