Generalized solutions to Cauchy problems

This paper continues previous attempts to find a convenient mathematical setting in which linear and nonlinear Cauchy problems have a unique global solution, that reduces to a classical solution when the latter exists.With 1 Figure     

Existence of solutions to Hamilton-Jacobi functional differential equations

This paper deals with the Cauchy problem for nonlinear first order partial functional differential equations. The unknown function is the functional variable in the equation and the partial derivatives appear in a classical sense. A theorem on the local existence of a generalized solution is proved. The initial problem is transformed into a system of functional integral equations for an unknown function and for their partial derivatives with respect to spatial variables. The existence of solutions of this system is proved by using a method of successive approximations. A method of bicharacteristics and integral inequalities are applied.     

Strong solutions for differential equations in abstract spaces

Let (E,F) be a locally convex space. We denote the bounded elements of E by . In this paper, we prove that if B_Eb is relatively compact with respect to the F topology and f:I×E_b→E_b is a measurable family of F-continuous maps then for each x₀∈E_b there exists a norm-differentiable, (i.e. differentiable with respect to the ∥·∥_F norm) local solution to the initial valued problem u_t(t)=f(t,u(t)), u(t₀)=x₀. All of this machinery is developed to study the Lipschitz stability of a nonlinear differential equation involving the Hardy-Littlewood maximal operator.

For example, solutions of such equations are Hölder continuous in the space variables.The author is an Alexander von Humboldt Stiftung fellow     

Approximation of viscosity solutions of elliptic partial differential equations on minimal grids

Summary. We obtain estimates on the minimal size of an equally spaced grid which can be used to construct monotone and consistent approximations to elliptic problems. The estimates are given in terms of the ellipticity of the equation. This problem is related to diophantine approximations, see the Appendix written by W. M. Schmidt. Received January 10, 1995     

Successive approximations of solutions to stochastic functional differential equations

In the present paper, by means of the successive approximations method, the local or global existence and uniqueness theorems for a stochastic functional differential equation of the Ito type are proved.     

Systems of partial differential equations of mixed hyperbolic-parabolic type

We prove the global existence and uniqueness of solutions of certain mixed hyperbolic-parabolic systems of partial differential equations in one space dimension with initial data that is assumed to be pointwise bounded with possibly large oscillation and with small total energy. The systems we consider are general enough to include the Navier-Stokes equations of compressible flow, the equations of compressible MHD, models of chemical combustion, and others. In particular, the application of our results to the MHD system gives an existence result which is new.     

Existence of global solutions for second order impulsive abstract partial differential equations

In this paper, we study the existence of global solutions for a class of second order impulsive abstract functional differential equations. The results are obtained by using Leray-Schauder’s Alternative fixed point theorem. An application is provided to illustrate the theory.     

Viscosity solutions to second order partial differential equations on Riemannian manifolds

We prove comparison, uniqueness and existence results for viscosity solutions to a wide class of fully nonlinear second order partial differential equations F(x,u,du,d²u)=0 defined on a finite-dimensional Riemannian manifold M. Finest results (with hypothesis that require the function F to be degenerate elliptic, that is nonincreasing in the second order derivative variable, and uniformly continuous with respect to the variable x) are obtained under the assumption that M has nonnegative sectional curvature, while, if one additionally requires F to depend on d²u in a uniformly continuous manner, then comparison results are established with no restrictive assumptions on curvature.     

Global weighted estimates for the gradient of solutions to nonlinear elliptic equations

We consider nonlinear elliptic equations of p  -Laplacian type that are not necessarily of variation form when the nonlinearity is allowed to be discontinuous and the boundary of the domain can go beyond the Lipschitz category. Under smallness in the BMO nonlinearity and sufficient flatness of the Reifenberg domain, we obtain the global weighted L^q$L^q$ estimates with q∈(p,∞)$q\in (p,\infty )$ for the gradient of weak solutions.     

Multisummability of formal solutions to the Cauchy problem for some linear partial differential equations

The paper considers the Cauchy problem for linear partial differential equations of non-Kowalevskian type in the complex domain. It is shown that if the Cauchy data are entire functions of a suitable order, the problem has a formal solution which is multisummable. The precise bound of the admissible order of entire functions is described in terms of the Newton polygon of the equation.     

Division problem and partial differential equations with constant coefficients in Colombeau's space of new generalized functions

We study the problem of division in Colombeau's space of new generalized functions in the associated sense: more precisely we solve the equation of the formF·G _p H with adequate assumptions onF. By using the Fourier transformation we construct, by simple methods, the solution in the p-associated sense of a partial differential equation with constant coefficients.     

Expansion of the boundaries of the solutions of the linear Volterra integral equations with convolution kernel

We solve a certain differential equation and system of integral equations. As applications, we characterize holomorphic symbols of commuting Toeplitz operators on the pluriharmonic Bergman space. In addition, pluriharmonic symbols of normal Toeplitz operators are characterized. Also, zero semi-commutators for certain classes of Toeplitz operators are characterized.This research is partially supported by KOSEF(98-0701-03-01-5).     

Existence of solutions to BVP for linear differential-functional equations of elliptic type

We consider a homogeneous boundary value problem for a linear partial differential-functional equation of elliptic type. We prove the existence of a unique solution to such problem in a Sobolev space.     

Compact almost automorphic solutions to integral equations with infinite delay

Given a∈L¹(R) and the generator A of an L¹-integrable resolvent family of linear bounded operators defined on a Banach space X, we prove the existence of compact almost automorphic solutions of the semilinear integral equation for each f:R×X→X compact almost automorphic in t, for each x∈X, and satisfying Lipschitz and Hölder type conditions. In the scalar linear case, we prove that a∈L¹(R) positive, nonincreasing and log-convex is sufficient to obtain the existence of compact almost automorphic solutions.     

The structure of spaces of quasianalytic functions of Roumieu type

It is shown that spaces of quasianalytic ultradifferentiable functions of Roumieu type ℰ_{w}(Ω), on an open convex set , satisfy some new (Ω) -type linear topological invariants. Some consequences for the splitting of short exact sequences of these spaces as well as for the structure of the spaces are derived. In particular, Fréchet quotients of ℰ_{w}(Ω) have property (), while dual Fréchet quotients have property () of Vogt. The work of P. Domański was supported by Committee of Scientific Research (KBN), Poland, grant P03A 022 25.     

Generalized stochastic evolution equations

An approach to generalized stochastic evolution equations is presented which is based on a generalized Ito formula. This allows the consideration of interesting examples which are stochastic generalizations of evolution equations of mixed type or second order in time hyperbolic equations. It includes more standard material involving a Gelfand triple of spaces as a special case. Several examples are given which illustrate the use of the abstract theory presented.
