Entropy solutions of anisotropic elliptic nonlinear obstacle problem with measure data

We prove the existence of an entropy solution for a class of nonlinear anisotropic elliptic unilateral problem associated to the following equation $$\begin{aligned} -\sum _{i=1}^{N} \partial _i a_i(x,u, \nabla u) -\sum _{i=1}^{N}\partial _{i}\phi _{i}( u)=\mu , \end{aligned}$$where the right hand side $$\mu $$ belongs to $$L^{1}(\Omega )+ W^{-1, \vec {p'}}(\Omega )$$. The operator $$-\sum _{i=1}^{N} \partial _i a_i(x,u, \nabla u) $$ is a Leray–Lions anisotropic operator and $$\phi _{i} \in C^{0}({\mathbb {R}}, {\mathbb {R}})$$.     

Gabor frames by sampling and periodization

By sampling the window of a Gabor frame for belonging to Feichtinger’s algebra, , one obtains a Gabor frame for . In this article we present a survey of results by R. Orr and A.J.E.M. Janssen and extend their ideas to cover interrelations among Gabor frames for the four spaces , , and . Some new results about general dual windows with respect to sampling and periodization are presented as well. This theory is used to show a new result of the Kaiblinger type to construct an approximation to the canonical dual window of a Gabor frame for .      

Rate of convergence to a singular steady state of a supercritical parabolic equation

We study global positive solutions of a supercritical parabolic equation which converge to a steady state that is singular at x = 0. We determine the rate of convergence to the singular steady state in where B _ν(0) is a ball in with the center at the origin and radius ν.      

Sharp Estimates for the Global Attractor of Scalar Reaction–Diffusion Equations with a Wentzell Boundary Condition

In this paper, we derive optimal upper and lower bounds on the dimension of the attractor A_W\mathcal{A}_{\mathrm{W}} for scalar reaction–diffusion equations with a Wentzell (dynamic) boundary condition. We are also interested in obtaining explicit bounds on the constants involved in our asymptotic estimates, and to compare these bounds to previously known estimates for the dimension of the global attractor A_K\mathcal{A}_{K}, K∈{D,N,P}, of reaction–diffusion equations subject to Dirichlet, Neumann and periodic boundary conditions. The explicit estimates we obtain show that the dimension of the global attractor A_W\mathcal {A}_{\mathrm{W}} is of different order than the dimension of A_K\mathcal{A}_{K}, for each K∈{D,N,P}, in all space dimensions that are greater than or equal to three.     

Logarithmic Sobolev Inequalities of Diffusions for the L^2 Metric

Under the Bakry–Emery's -minoration condition, we establish the logarithmic Sobolev inequality for the Brownian motion with drift in the metric instead of the usual Cameron–Martin metric. The involved constant is sharp and does not explode for large time. This inequality with respect to the -metric provides us the gaussian concentration inequalities for the large time behavior of the diffusion. An erratum to this article can be found at     

Counter-examples to the Dunford–Schwartz pointwise ergodic theorem on $$\varvec{L^1+L^\infty }$$ L 1 + L ∞

Extending a result by Chilin and Litvinov, we show by construction that given any $$\sigma $$ -finite infinite measure space $$(\Omega ,\mathcal {A}, \mu )$$ and a function $$f\in L^1(\Omega )+L^\infty (\Omega )$$ with $$\mu (\{|f|>\varepsilon \})=\infty $$ for some $$\varepsilon >0$$ , there exists a Dunford–Schwartz operator T over $$(\Omega ,\mathcal {A}, \mu )$$ such that $$\frac{1}{N}\sum _{n=1}^N (T^nf)(x)$$ fails to converge for almost every $$x\in \Omega $$ . In addition, for each operator we construct, the set of functions for which pointwise convergence fails almost everywhere is residual in $$L^1(\Omega )+L^\infty (\Omega )$$ .     

The Self-similar Solution to Some Nonlinear Integro-differential Equations Corresponding to Fractional Order Time Derivative

In this paper we study the self-similar solution to a class of nonlinear integro-differential equations which correspond to fractional order time derivative and interpolate nonlinear heat and wave equation. Using the space-time estimates which were established by Hirata and Miao in [1] we prove the global existence of self-similar solution of Cauchy problem for the nonlinear integro-differential equation in C＊（[0,∞];B^8pp,∞（R^n）.     

Maximal dissipativity for degenerate Kolmogorov operators

In this paper we are interested in studying the properties of an elliptic degenerate operator N₀ in the space L^p of with respect to an invariant measure μ. The existence of μ is proven under suitable conditions on coefficients of the operator. We prove that the closure of N₀ is m-dissipative in      

Convergence to Diffusion Waves for Nonlinear Evolution Equations with Ellipticity and Damping, and with Different End States

In this paper, we consider the global existence and the asymptotic behavior of solutions to the Cauchy problem for the following nonlinear evolution equations with ellipticity and dissipative effects： {ψt=-（1-α）ψ-θx＋αψxx, θt=-（1-α）θ＋νψx＋（ψθ）x＋αθxx（E） with initial data （ψ,θ）（x,0）=（ψ0（x）,θ0（x））→（ψ±,θ±）as x→±∞ where α and ν are positive constants such that α 〈 1, ν 〈 4α（1 - α）. Under the assumption that ｜ψ＋ - ψ-｜ ＋ ｜θ＋ - θ-｜ is sufficiently small, we show the global existence of the solutions to Cauchy problem （E） and （I） if the initial data is a small perturbation. And the decay rates of the solutions with exponential rates also are obtained. The analysis is based on the energy method.

Spectral order and isotonic differential operators of Laguerre–Pólya type

The spectral order on R ⁿ induces a natural partial ordering on the manifold of monic hyperbolic polynomials of degree n. We show that all differential operators of Laguerre–Pólya type preserve the spectral order. We also establish a global monotony property for infinite families of deformations of these operators parametrized by the space ℓ^∞ of real bounded sequences. As a consequence, we deduce that the monoid of linear operators that preserve averages of zero sets and hyperbolicity consists only of differential operators of Laguerre–Pólya type which are both extensive and isotonic. In particular, these results imply that any hyperbolic polynomial is the global minimum of its -orbit and that Appell polynomials are characterized by a global minimum property with respect to the spectral order.

On separating the submajorization order into majorization and pointwise inequality

As is known, the Hardy–Littlewood–Pólya submajorization preorder among integrable real-valued functions separates into the concatenation of pointwise inequality and majorization, in this order, i.e., if $$ x\prec \prec y$$ , then there is a z with $$x\le z\prec y$$ . Submajorization also separates, in the other order, into majorization and inequality, i.e., if $$x\prec \prec y$$ , then there is a w with $$x\prec w\le y$$ and, as is shown here, such a w can be chosen to be nonnegative if both x and y are. It is also shown that the former separation result (existence of z) can be deduced from the latter one (existence of w) by using a doubly stochastic operator on the Banach space $$L^{\varrho }\left( T\right) $$ , where T is a finite measure space and $$\varrho \in \left[ 1,+\infty \right] $$ . The results are applied to a $$\prec \prec $$ -isotone real-valued function C on the nonnegative cone $$ L_{+}^{\varrho }\left( T\right) $$ and to its positive-part extension to all of $$L^{\varrho }\left( T\right) $$ , defined by $$C^{\dagger }\left( y\right) =C\left( y^{+}\right) $$ , whose economic interpretation, when $$ C\left( y\right) $$ is the joint cost of producing quantities $$\left( y\left( t\right) \right) _{t\in T}$$ of a spectrum of commodities, is that of adding free disposal to the technology.     

Fractional Gaussian estimates and holomorphy of semigroups

Let $$\Omega \subset {\mathbb {R}}^N$$ be an arbitrary open set, $$0<s<1$$ and denote by $$(e^{-t(-\Delta )_{{{\mathbb {R}}}^N}^s})_{t\ge 0}$$ the semigroup on $$L^2({{\mathbb {R}}}^N)$$ generated by the fractional Laplace operator. In the first part of the paper, we show that if T is a self-adjoint semigroup on $$L^2(\Omega )$$ satisfying a fractional Gaussian estimate in the sense that $$|T(t)f|\le Me^{-bt(-\Delta )_{{{\mathbb {R}}}^N}^s}|f|$$, $$0\le t \le 1$$, $$f\in L^2(\Omega )$$, for some constants $$M\ge 1$$ and $$b\ge 0$$, then T defines a bounded holomorphic semigroup of angle $$\frac{\pi }{2}$$ that interpolates on $$L^p(\Omega )$$, $$1\le p<\infty $$. Using a duality argument, we prove that the same result also holds on the space of continuous functions. In the second part, we apply the above results to the realization of fractional order operators with the exterior Dirichlet conditions.     

Injectivity of real polynomial maps and Łojasiewicz exponents at infinity

In this paper we give a lower bound for the Łojasiewicz exponent at infinity of a special class of polynomial maps , s ≥ 1. As a consequence, we detect a class of polynomial maps that are global diffeomorphisms if their Jacobian determinant never vanishes. Work supported by DGICYT Grant BFM2003–02037/MATE.

On Pairs of Dual Consequence Operations

In the paper, the authors discuss two kinds of consequence operations characterized axiomatically. The first one are consequence operations of the type Cn ⁺ that, in the intuitive sense, are infallible operations, always leading from accepted (true) sentences of a deductive system to accepted (true) sentences of the deductive system (see Tarski in Monatshefte für Mathematik und Physik 37:361–404, 1930, Comptes Rendus des Séances De la Société des Sciences et des Lettres de Varsovie 23:22–29, 1930; Pogorzelski and Słupecki in Stud Logic 9:163–176, 1960, Stud Logic 10:77–95, 1960). The second kind are dual consequence operations of the type Cn ⁻ that can be regarded as anti-infallible operations leading from non-accepted (rejected, false) sentences of a deductive system to non-accepted (rejected, false) sentences of the system (see Słupecki in Funkcja Łukasiewicza, 33–40, 1959; Wybraniec-Skardowska in Teoria zdań odrzuconych, 5–131, Zeszyty Naukowe Wyższej Szkoły Inżynierskiej w Opolu, Seria Matematyka 4(81):35–61, 1983, Ann Pure Appl Logic 127:243–266, 2004, in On the notion and function of rejected propositions, 179–202, 2005). The operations of the types Cn ⁺ and Cn ⁻ can be ordinary finitistic consequence operations or unit consequence operations. A deductive system can be characterized in two ways by the following triple:

The Cauchy Problem for the Generalized Korteweg-de Vries-Benjamin-Ono Equation with Low Regularity Data

The Cauchy problem of the generalized Korteweg-de Vries-Benjamin-Ono equation is considered, and low regularity and limit behavior of the solutions are obtained. For k = 1, local well- posedness is obtained for data in H^s（R）（s 〉 -3/4）. For k = 2, local result for data in H^S（R）（s 〉1/4） is obtained. For k = 3, local result for data in H^S（R）（s 〉 -1/6） is obtained. Moreover, the solutions of generalized Korteweg-de Vries-Benjamin-Ono equation converge to the solutions of KdV equation if the term of Benjamin-Ono equation tends to zero.

Hardy spaces estimates for a class of multilinear homogeneous operators

It is proved that a class of multilinear singular integral operators with homogeneous kernels are bounded operators from the product spaces to the Hardy spacesH ^r , (ℝ ⁿ ) and the weak Hardy spaceH ^r,∞ (ℝ ⁿ . As an application of this result, the L ^p ,(ℝ ⁿ ) boundedness of a class of commutator for the singular integral with homogeneous kernels is obtained.
