Microlocal hypoellipticity of linear partial differential operators with generalized functions as coefficients

We investigate microlocal properties of partial differential operators with generalized functions as coefficients. The main result is an extension of a corresponding (microlocalized) distribution theoretic result on operators with smooth hypoelliptic symbols. Methodological novelties and technical refinements appear embedded into classical strategies of proof in order to cope with most delicate interferences by non-smooth lower order terms. We include simplified conditions which are applicable in special cases of interest.

     

On differential equations with interval coefficients

In this study, a new approach is developed to solve the initial value problem for interval linear differential equations. In the considered problem, the coefficients and the initial values are constant intervals. In the developed approach, there is no need to define a derivative for interval-valued functions. All derivatives used in the approach are classical derivatives of real functions. The reason for this is that the solution of the problem is defined as a bunch of real functions. Such a solution concept is compatible also with the robust stability concept. Sufficient conditions are provided for the solution to be expressed analytically. In addition, on a numerical example, the solution obtained by the proposed approach is compared with the solution obtained by the generalized Hukuhara differentiability. It is shown that the proposed approach gives a new type of solution. The main advantage of the proposed approach is that the solution to the considered interval initial value problem exists and is unique, as in the real case.     

Remarks on some families of fractional-order differential equations

The main purpose of this note is to draw the reader's attention towards some errors and omissions in a recent work involving solutions of some families of fractional-order differential equations, which was published in this Journal (see, for details, [Tomovski ?, Hilfer R, Srivastava HM. Fractional and operational calculus with generalized fractional derivative operators and Mittag–Leffler type functions. Integral Transforms Spec Funct. 2010;21:797–814]). Several relevant remarks and observations on some other related recent developments on this subject are also presented.     

Spectral functions of singular differential operators with matricial coefficients

We study the asymptotic behavior of the Harish-Chandra function associated to a singular second order differential operator with matricial coefficients. The study is based on a detailed analysis of the asymptotic behavior of some eigenvectors of the operator from which results on the asymptotic behavior of the spectral function and the scattering matrix are derived.     

Degenerate stochastic differential equations with Hölder continuous coefficients and super-Markov chains

We consider the operator

acting on functions in . We prove uniqueness of the martingale problem for this degenerate operator under suitable nonnegativity and regularity conditions on and . In contrast to previous work, the need only be nonnegative on the boundary rather than strictly positive, at the expense of the and being Hölder continuous. Applications to super-Markov chains are given. The proof follows Stroock and Varadhan's perturbation argument, but the underlying function space is now a weighted Hölder space and each component of the constant coefficient process being perturbed is the square of a Bessel process.

     

Asymptotic expansions for singular differential operators with matricial coefficients

This paper presents a detailed analysis of the asymptotic expansion, in terms of Bessel functions, for some eigenfunctions of a singular second-order differential operator with matrix coefficients. In application, we recover the asymptotic behavior of the associated Harish-Chandra function and interesting approximations at infinity of the related spectral function and scattering matrix.     

Inheritance of surjectivity for partial differential operators on spaces of real analytic functions

For an open set let A(Ω) be the space of real analytic functions on Ω. Improving our previous results, we prove a new quantitative characterization of the linear partial differential operators P(D) which are surjective on A(Ω). This implies that P(D) is surjective on if P(D) is surjective on A(Ω) for some Ω≠∅. Further inheritance properties for the surjectivity of P(D) on A(Ω) are also obtained.     

Generalized wave polynomials and transmutations related to perturbed Bessel equations

The transmutation (transformation) operator associated with the perturbed Bessel equation is considered. It is shown that its integral kernel can be uniformly approximated by linear combinations of constructed here generalized wave polynomials, solutions of a singular hyperbolic partial differential equation arising in relation with the transmutation kernel. As a corollary of this result an approximation of the regular solution of the perturbed Bessel equation is proposed with corresponding estimates independent of the spectral parameter.     

Reverse generalized Bessel matrix differential equation,polynomial solutions,and their properties

This paper is devoted to the study of reverse generalized Bessel matrix polynomials (RGBMPs) within complex analysis. This study is assumed to be a generalization and improvement of the scalar case into the matrix setting. We give a definition of the reverse generalized Bessel matrix polynomials Θ_n(A; B; z), , for parameter (square) matrices A and B, and provide a second‐order matrix differential equations satisfied by these polynomials. Subsequently, a Rodrigues‐type formula, a matrix recurrence relationship, and a pseudo‐generating function are then developed for RGBMPs. © 2013 The Authors Mathematical Methods in the Applied Sciences Published by John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

Left and right generalized Drazin invertible operators

In this paper, we define and study the left and the right generalized Drazin inverse of bounded operators in a Banach space. We show that the left (resp. the right) generalized Drazin inverse is a sum of a left invertible (resp. a right invertible) operator and a quasi-nilpotent one. In particular, we define the left and the right generalized Drazin spectra of a bounded operator and also show that these sets are compact in the complex plane and invariant under additive commuting quasi-nilpotent perturbations. Furthermore, we prove that a bounded operator is left generalized Drazin invertible if and only if its adjoint is right generalized Drazin invertible. An equivalent definition of the pseudo-Fredholm operators in terms of the left generalized Drazin invertible operators is also given. Our obtained results are used to investigate some relationships between the left and right generalized Drazin spectra and other spectra founded in Fredholm theory.     

The finite element-Galerkin method for singular self-adjoint differential equations

We investigate the finite element-Galerkin method for singular self-adjoint second-order differential expressions. The weak formulation of the problem involves integration by parts, which allows the use of the usual piecewise linear functions. Our analysis shows that the method produces the solution corresponding to a particular self-adjoint realization of the differential expression. We also propose two algorithms to approximate the solution of any self-adjoint realization. Numerical examples are given to illustrate the analysis as well as the proposed algorithms.     

A positive radial product formula for the Dunkl kernel

It is an open conjecture that generalized Bessel functions associated with root systems have a positive product formula for nonnegative multiplicity parameters of the associated Dunkl operators. In this paper, a partial result towards this conjecture is proven, namely a positive radial product formula for the non-symmetric counterpart of the generalized Bessel function, the Dunkl kernel. Radial here means that one of the factors in the product formula is replaced by its mean over a sphere. The key to this product formula is a positivity result for the Dunkl-type spherical mean operator. It can also be interpreted in the sense that the Dunkl-type generalized translation of radial functions is positivity-preserving. As an application, we construct Dunkl-type homogeneous Markov processes associated with radial probability distributions.

     

Resolvents of operators and partial functional differential equations with nonautonomous past

To a backward evolution family on a Banach space X we associate an abstract differential operator G through the integral equation on a Banach space of X-valued functions on . We compute the resolvent of the restriction of this operator to a smaller domain to obtain a generator. We then apply the results to prove existence, exponential stability and exponential dichotomy of solutions to partial functional equations with nonautonomous past as discussed in [S. Brendle, R. Nagel, Dist. Contin. Dynam. Systems 8 (2002) 953-966]. Our main tools are spectral mapping theorems for evolution semigroups and hyperbolicity criteria.     

Integral operators commuting with dilations and rotations in generalized Morrey-type spaces

We find conditions for the boundedness of integral operators $K$ commuting with dilations and rotations in a local generalized Morrey space. We also show that under the same conditions, these operators preserve the subspace of such Morrey space, known as vanishing Morrey space. We also give necessary conditions for the boundedness when the kernel is non-negative. In the case of classical Morrey spaces, the obtained sufficient and necessary conditions coincide with each other. In the one-dimensional case, we also obtain similar results for global Morrey spaces. In the case of radial kernels, we also obtain stronger estimates of $Kf$ via spherical means of $f$. We demonstrate the efficiency of the obtained conditions for a variety of examples such as weighted Hardy operators, weighted Hilbert operator, their multidimensional versions, and others.     

Completeness of eigenfunctions of one class of pencils of differential operators with constant coefficients

In spaces of functions square summable on finite intervals we study the simple completeness of the system of eigen- and associated functions for the pencil of ordinary differential operators generated by a differential expression with constant coefficients (we assume that the roots of the corresponding characteristic equation lie on one and the same ray) and specific semisplitting homogeneous boundary value conditions.
