Decomposition and removability properties of John domains

In this paper we characterize John domains in terms of John domain decomposition property. In addition, we also show that a domain D in ℔ ⁿ is a John domain if and only if D\P is a John domain, where P is a subset of D containing finitely many points of D. The best possibility and an application of the second result are also discussed.     

A criterion for the unique determination of domains in Euclidean spaces by the metrics of their boundaries induced by the intrinsic metrics of the domains

We say that a domain U ⊂ ℝ ⁿ is uniquely determined by the relative metric (which is the extension by continuity of the intrinsic metric of the domain on its boundary) of its Hausdorff boundary if any domain V ⊂ ℝ ⁿ such that its Hausdorff boundary is isometric in the relative metric to the Hausdorff boundary of U, is isometric to U in the Euclidean metric. In this paper, we obtain the necessary and sufficient conditions for the uniqueness of determination of a domain by the relative metric of its Hausdorff boundary.     

Ascending Nets of Prüfer V-Multiplication Domains

Abstract

Let D be an integral domain, S ? D a multiplicative set such that aD _S  ∩ D is a principal ideal for each a ∈ D and let D ^(S) = ? _s∈S D[X/s]. It is known that if D is a Prüfer v-multiplication domain (resp., generalized GCD domain, GCD domain), then so is D ^(S) respectively. When D is a Noetherian domain, we obtain a similar result for the power series analog D ^((S)) = ? _s∈S D[[X/s]] of D ^(S). Our approach takes care simultaneously of both cases D ^(S) and D ^((S)).     

Bounds and monotonicity for the generalized Robin problem

We consider the principal eigenvalue λ ₁^Ω(α) corresponding to Δu = λ (α) u in W, \frac?u?v = au \Omega, \frac{\partial u}{\partial v} = \alpha u on ∂Ω, with α a fixed real, and W ì Rⁿ\Omega \subset {\mathcal{R}}^n a C ^0,1 bounded domain. If α > 0 and small, we derive bounds for λ ₁^Ω(α) in terms of a Stekloff-type eigenvalue; while for α > 0 large we study the behavior of its growth in terms of maximum curvature. We analyze how domain monotonicity of the principal eigenvalue depends on the geometry of the domain, and prove that domains which exhibit domain monotonicity for every α are calibrable. We conjecture that a domain has the domain monotonicity property for some α if and only if it is calibrable.     

<Emphasis Type="Italic">C</Emphasis><Superscript>1,<Emphasis Type="Italic">α</Emphasis></Superscript> Theory for the Prescribed Mean Curvature Equation with Dirichlet Data

In this work we study solutions of the prescribed mean curvature equation over a general domain that do not necessarily attain the given boundary data. With such a solution we can naturally associate a current with support in the closed cylinder above the domain and with boundary given by the prescribed boundary data and which inherits a natural minimizing property. Our main result is that its support is a C ^1,α manifold-with-boundary, with boundary equal to the prescribed boundary data, provided that both the initial domain and the prescribed boundary data are of class C ^1,α .     

On Local ☆-Completely Integrally Closed Domains

Let ☆ be a star operation on an integral domain R. The domain R is a ☆-CICD if (AA ^?1)^☆ = R for all nonzero (fractional) ideals A of R. In this article, we prove that, if the maximal ideal of a local ☆-CICD is a ☆-ideal, then R is ☆-principal ideal domain. We also establish that any ☆-CICD R is locally a PID when ☆ is induced by the localizations at prime ideals of R.     

Envelope of holomorphy of a tube domain over a complex Lie group

According to S. Bochner [6, 7]: IfD =B +iℝ ⁿ is a tube domain in ℂ ⁿ , where B is a domain in ℝ ⁿ , and if [(B)\tilde]\tilde B is the convex envelope of B, then any holomorphic function on D extends to the tube domain [(D)\tilde] = [(B)\tilde] + i\mathbbRⁿ \tilde D = \tilde B + i\mathbb{R}^n , which is a univalent envelope of holomorphy of D. We give a generalization of this result to (nonunivalent) tube domains over a complex Lie group which admit a closed sub-group as a real form. Application: If (V, φ) is a tube domain over ℂ ⁿ and if B is the convex envelope of ϕ(V)∩ℝ ⁿ in ℝ ⁿ , then [(V)\tilde] = B + i\mathbbRⁿ \tilde V = B + i\mathbb{R}^n is an envelope of holomorphy of (V, φ).     

An integral operator related to the Stokes system in exterior domains

Consider a bounded domain Ω in ?³ with C²-boundary ?Ω. In [1] the Stokes problem in the exterior domain ?³/Ω , with resolvent parameter [λ??\] ? [∞,0], is solved by using the method of integral equations. However, for estimating the corresponding solutions in L^p norms, it turns out that a certain operator defined on the spaces L^r(?Ω)³, for r ?]1, ∞[, has to be evaluated in the norm of L^r(?Ω)³. This estimate is proved in the present paper.     

A MODIFIED UPWIND DIFFERENCE SCHEME FOR NONLINEAR PARABOLIC EQUATIONS IN A VARIABLE DOMAIN

The nonlinear parabolic equations in a variable domain are considered. A modified up-wind difference scheme is given in the variable domain. Stability in l norm and error estimate in norm are obtained.     

Determination of a Domain in Complex Space by its Automorphism Group

We consider results, both in one complex variable and several, which show that the algebraic or geometric structure of the automorphism group of a domain z can determine that domain. The domains considered include Ω = B, the unit ball in C ⁿ , and Ω = C ⁿ . Various illustrative examples are provided.     

Sufficient conditions for second order L2-convergence of the fractional step theta method

We consider the fractional step theta time stepping procedure for the non-stationary incompressible linear Stokes equations in a cylindrical domain (0, T) × Ω, where Ω is a bounded domain in ℝⁿ. Using energy estimates and assuming a certain degree of regularity for the data, we show second order L²-convergence. (© 2012 Wiley-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim)     

Enveloppes polynômiales d'ensembles compacts invariants

We consider the following problem: let V^? be a finite dimensional vector space, and U be a compact group of ?‐linear automorphisms of V^?. The polynomial envelope of a compact set Q ? V^? is defined as where ??(V^?) denotes the space of holomorphic polynomial functions on V^?. The problem is to determine the polynomial envelope of a compact set which is U‐invariant. We solve the problem when U is the isotropy subgroup at the origin of the automorphism group of a bounded symmetric domain of tube type. The case of a domain of type II has been solved by C. Sacré [1992], and, for a domain of type IV, it has been solved by L. Bou Attour [1993]. (© 2004 WILEY‐VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim)     

On proper holomorphic self-maps of generalized complex ellipsoids

The purpose of this paper is to prove that every proper holomorphic self-mapping of a Reinhardt domain Ω in C ⁿ which is a generalization of a complex ellipsoid is biholomorphic. The main novelty of our result is that Ω is a domain in C ⁿ such that it is allowed to have a boundary point at which the Levi determinant has infinite order of vanishing.     

W2, p estimates of the heat equation in Ω⊂ℝn and the restrictions on ∂Ω

This is an alternative approach of finding the W^{2, p} estimates of the heat equation in a domain, Ω??ⁿ. Methods used in (Acta Math. Sin. 2003; 19 (2):381–396) are expanded to the case of a bounded domain. As a result, milder restrictions are applied to ?Ω than previously required by using the classical singular integral approach.

Analysis and convergence of a MAC-like scheme for the generalized Stokes problem

We introduce a MAC-like scheme (a covolume method on rectangular grids) for approximating the generalized Stokes problem on an axiparallel domain. Two staggered grids are used in the derivation of the discretization. The velocity is approximated by conforming bilinears over rectangular elements, and the pressure by piecewise constants over macro-rectangular elements. The error in the velocity in the H¹ norm and the pressure in the L² norm are shown to be of first order, provided that the exact velocity is in H² and the exact pressure in H¹, and that the partition family of the domain is regular. © 1997 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.     

A quasiconformal dynamic property of the disk

It is known that every conformai embedding of the disk into the extended complex plane possesses a r²-quasiconformal extension across eachr-level line (the r²-property of a domain). We show here that this is a characteristic property of the disk: any simply connected domain which is not a disk does not admit ther ²-property.

A remark on level curves for domains convex in one direction † ‡

Let D be a plane domain which is convex in the v-direction, i.e.t the intersection of D with each vertical line is connected (or empty). It has been an open question whether level curves of a domain convex in the v-direction bound a domain with the same property. In this note we construct an example which settles the question in the negative.Closely related is a family ? of analytic functions g in the unit disk with the property that g(0) = 0 and Re{(1 - z²)g(z)/z} ? 0. For univalent functions we show that membership in ? is essentially characterized by the geometric condition that Im g(eⁱ⁰)? 0 for a.e. ? ? (0, ?) and Im g(eⁱ⁰)? 0 for a.e. We conclude with a coefficient theorem     

Enclosed convex hypersurfaces with maximal affine area

In this paper we study the regularity of closed, convex surfaces which achieve maximal affine area among all the closed, convex surfaces enclosed in a given domain in the Euclidean 3-space. We prove the C^1,α regularity for general domains and C^1,1 regularity if the domain is uniformly convex. This work is supported by the Australian Research Council.

Persistence of bounded solutions of parabolic equations under domain perturbation

The aim of this paper is to study the behavior of bounded solutions of parabolic equations on the whole real line under perturbation of the underlying domain. We give the convergence of bounded solutions of linear parabolic equations in the L ² and the L ^p -settings. For the L ^p -theory, we also prove the H?lder regularity of bounded solutions with respect to time. In addition, we study the persistence of a class of bounded solutions which decay to zero at t → ±∞ of semilinear parabolic equations under domain perturbation.     

Potential type operators and transmission problems for strongly elliptic second-order systems in Lipschitz domains

We consider a strongly elliptic second-order system in a bounded n-dimensional domain Ω⁺ with Lipschitz boundary Γ, n ≥ 2. The smoothness assumptions on the coefficients are minimized. For convenience, we assume that the domain is contained in the standard torus $ \mathbb{T}^n $ \mathbb{T}^n . In previous papers, we obtained results on the unique solvability of the Dirichlet and Neumann problems in the spaces H _p ^σ and B _p ^σ without use of surface potentials. In the present paper, using the approach proposed by Costabel and McLean, we define surface potentials and discuss their properties assuming that the Dirichlet and Neumann problems in Ω⁺ and the complementing domain Ω⁻ are uniquely solvable. In particular, we prove the invertibility of the integral single layer operator and the hypersingular operator in Besov spaces on Γ. We describe some of their spectral properties as well as those of the corresponding transmission problems.
