Bounds and monotonicity for the generalized Robin problem

We consider the principal eigenvalue λ ₁^Ω(α) corresponding to Δu = λ (α) u in on ∂Ω, with α a fixed real, and 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.

Some Poincaré-type inequalities for functions of bounded deformation involving the deviatoric part of the symmetric gradient

It is proved that if Ω ⊂ Rⁿ {R^n}  is a bounded Lipschitz domain, then the inequality || u ||₁ \leqslant c(n)\textdiam( W)ò_W | e^D(u) | {\left\| u \right\|_1} \leqslant c(n){\text{diam}}\left( \Omega \right)\int\limits_\Omega {\left| {{\varepsilon^D}(u)} \right|} is valid for functions of bounded deformation vanishing on ∂Ω. Here e^D(u) {\varepsilon^D}(u) denotes the deviatoric part of the symmetric gradient and ò_W | e^D(u) | \int\limits_\Omega {\left| {{\varepsilon^D}(u)} \right|} stands for the total variation of the tensor-valued measure e^D(u) {\varepsilon^D}(u) . Further results concern possible extensions of this Poincaré-type inequality. Bibliography: 27 titles.     

Regularity of weak solutions to the Navier–Stokes equations in exterior domains

Let u be a weak solution of the Navier–Stokes equations in an exterior domain ${\Omega \subset \mathbb{R}^3}Let u be a weak solution of the Navier–Stokes equations in an exterior domain W ì \mathbbR³{\Omega \subset \mathbb{R}^3} and a time interval [0, T[ , 0 < T ≤ ∞, with initial value u ₀, external force f = div F, and satisfying the strong energy inequality. It is well known that global regularity for u is an unsolved problem unless we state additional conditions on the data u ₀ and f or on the solution u itself such as Serrin’s condition || u ||_{L^s(0,T; L^q(W))} < ￥{\| u \|_{L^s(0,T; L^q(\Omega))} < \infty} with 2 < s < ￥, \frac2s + \frac3q = 1{2 < s < \infty, \frac{2}{s} + \frac{3}{q} =1}. In this paper, we generalize results on local in time regularity for bounded domains, see Farwig et al. (Indiana Univ Math J 56:2111–2131, 2007; J Math Fluid Mech 11:1–14, 2008; Banach Center Publ 81:175–184, 2008), to exterior domains. If e.g. u fulfills Serrin’s condition in a left-side neighborhood of t or if the norm || u ||_{L^s￠(t-d,t; L^q(W))}{\| u \|_{L^{s'}(t-\delta,t; L^q(\Omega))}} converges to 0 sufficiently fast as δ → 0 + , where ${\frac{2}{s'} + \frac{3}{q} > 1}${\frac{2}{s'} + \frac{3}{q} > 1}, then u is regular at t. The same conclusion holds when the kinetic energy \frac12|| u(t) ||₂²{\frac{1}{2}\| u(t) \|_2^2} is locally H?lder continuous with exponent ${\alpha > \frac{1}{2}}${\alpha > \frac{1}{2}}.     

Punishing Factors for Finitely Connected Domains

Let Ω and Π be two finitely connected hyperbolic domains in the complex plane \Bbb C{\Bbb C} and let R(z, Ω) denote the hyperbolic radius of Ω at z and R(w, Π) the hyperbolic radius of Π at w. We consider functions f that are analytic in Ω and such that all values f(z) lie in the domain Π. This set of analytic functions is denoted by A(Ω, Π). We prove among other things that the quantities C_n(W,P) := sup_{f ? A(W,P)}sup_{z ? W}\frac|f⁽ⁿ⁾(z)| R(f(z),P)n! (R(z,W))ⁿC_n(\Omega,\Pi)\,:=\,\sup_{f\in A(\Omega,\Pi)}\sup_{z\in \Omega}\frac{\vert f^{(n)}(z)\vert\,R(f(z),\Pi)}{n!\,(R(z,\Omega))^n} are finite for all n ? \Bbb N{n \in {\Bbb N}} if and only if ∂Ω and ∂Π do not contain isolated points.     

Model problem for the motion of a compressible, viscous flow with the no-slip boundary condition

We consider the Navier–Stokes equations for the motion of a compressible, viscous, pressureless fluid in the domain W = \mathbbR³₊{\Omega = \mathbb{R}^3_+} with the no-slip boundary conditions. We construct a global in time, regular weak solution, provided that initial density ρ ₀ is bounded and the magnitude of the initial velocity u ₀ is suitably restricted in the norm ||?{r₀(·)}u₀(·)||_L²(W) + ||?u₀(·)||_L²(W){\|\sqrt{\rho_0(\cdot)}{\bf u}_0(\cdot)\|_{L^2(\Omega)} + \|\nabla{\bf u}_0(\cdot)\|_{L^2(\Omega)}}.     

Schlicht envelopes of holomorphy and topology

Let Ω be a domain in ${\mathbb{C}^{2}}Let Ω be a domain in \mathbbC²{\mathbb{C}^{2}}, and let p: [(W)\tilde]? \mathbbC²{\pi: \tilde{\Omega}\rightarrow \mathbb{C}^{2}} be its envelope of holomorphy. Also let W￠=p([(W)\tilde]){\Omega'=\pi(\tilde{\Omega})} with i: W\hookrightarrow W￠{i: \Omega \hookrightarrow \Omega'} the inclusion. We prove the following: if the induced map on fundamental groups i_*:p₁(W) ? p₁(W￠){i_{*}:\pi_{1}(\Omega) \rightarrow \pi_{1}(\Omega')} is a surjection, and if π is a covering map, then Ω has a schlicht envelope of holomorphy. We then relate this to earlier work of Fornaess and Zame.

We prove a Sobolev–Adams type embedding theorem M^{p( ·),q₁( ·),w₁( ·)}( W) ? M^{q( ·),q₂( ·),w₂( ·)}( W) {\mathcal{M}^{p\left( \cdot \right),{\theta_1}\left( \cdot \right),{\omega_1}\left( \cdot \right)}}\left( \Omega \right) \to {\mathcal{M}^{q\left( \cdot \right),{\theta_2}\left( \cdot \right),{\omega_2}\left( \cdot \right)}}\left( \Omega \right) for the potential type operator I ^α(·) of variable order. In all the cases, we do not impose any monotonicity type conditions on ω(x, r) with respect to r. Bibliography: 40 titles.     

Generalizations of Korn’s inequality based on gradient estimates in Orlicz spaces and applications to variational problems in 2D involving the trace free part of the symmetric gradient

We prove variants of Korn’s inequality involving the deviatoric part of the symmetric gradient of fields u:\mathbbR² é W? \mathbbR² u:{\mathbb{R}^2} \supset \Omega \to {\mathbb{R}^2} belonging to Orlicz–Sobolev classes. These inequalities are derived with the help of gradient estimates for the Poisson equation in Orlicz spaces. We apply these Korn type inequalities to variational integrals of the form

Problem with Critical Sobolev Exponent and with Weight

The authors consider the problem: -div(p▽u) = uq-1 λu, u > 0 inΩ, u = 0 on (?)Ω, whereΩis a bounded domain in Rn, n≥3, p :Ω→R is a given positive weight such that p∈H1 (Ω)∩C(Ω),λis a real constant and q = 2n/n-2, and study the effect of the behavior of p near its minima and the impact of the geometry of domain on the existence of solutions for the above problem.
