NEW PROOFS OF THE DECAY ESTIMATE WITH SHARP RATE OF THE GLOBAL WEAK SOLUTION OF THE n-DIMENSIONAL INCOMPRESSIBLE NAVIER-STOKES EQUATIONS

Consider the Cauchy problem for the n-dimensional incompressible NavierStokes equations:??tu-α△u+(u·?)u+?p = f(x, t), with the initial condition u(x, 0) = u0(x) and with the incompressible conditions ? · u = 0, ? · f = 0 and ? · u0= 0. The spatial dimension n ≥ 2.Suppose that the initial function u0∈ L1(Rn) ∩ L2(Rn) and the external force f ∈ L1(Rn× R+) ∩ L1(R+, L2(Rn)). It is well known that there holds the decay estimate with sharp rate:(1 + t)1+n/2∫Rn|u(x, t)|2 dx ≤ C, for all time t 0, where the dimension n ≥ 2, C 0 is a positive constant, independent of u and(x, t).The main purpose of this paper is to provide two independent proofs of the decay estimate with sharp rate, both are complete, systematic, simplified proofs, under a weaker condition on the external force. The ideas and methods introduced in this paper may have strong influence on the decay estimates with sharp rates of the global weak solutions or the global smooth solutions of similar equations, such as the n-dimensional magnetohydrodynamics equations, where the dimension n ≥ 2.

WEIGHTED ESTIMATES WITH GENERAL WEIGHTS FOR MULTILINEAR CALDERON-ZYGMUND OPERATORS

In this paper, some weighted estimates with general weights are established for the m-linear Caldern-Zygmund operator and the corresponding maximal operator. It is proved that, if p1 , ··· , pm ∈ [1, ∞] and p ∈ (0, ∞) with 1/p = ∑m k=1 1/pk , then for any weight w, integer ■with 1 ≤■≤ m, these operators are bounded from L p 1 (Rn , MBw) ×···× Lp■(Rn , MBw) × Lp +1 (Rn , Mw) ×···× Lp m (Rn , Mw) to Lp, ∞ (R n , w) or L p (R n , w), where B is a Young function and M B is the maximal operator associated with B.     

Weighted inequalities for fractional type operators with some homogeneous kernels

In this paper, we study integral operators of the form Tαf(x)=∫Rn|x-A1y|-α1 ··· |x-Amy|-αmf(y)dy,where Ai are certain invertible matrices, αi 0, 1 ≤ i ≤ m, α1 + ··· + αm = n-α, 0 ≤α n. For 1/q = 1/p-α/n , we obtain the Lp (Rn, wp)-Lq(Rn, wq) boundedness for weights w in A(p, q) satisfying that there exists c 0 such that w(Aix) ≤ cw(x), a.e. x ∈ Rn , 1 ≤ i ≤ m.Moreover, we obtain theappropriate weighted BMO and weak type estimates for certain weights satisfying the above inequality. We also give a Coifman type estimate for these operators.     

A note on the multilinear singular integral operators

Lp(Rn) boundedness is considered for the multilinear singular integral operator defined by TAf(x) = ∫Rn Ω(x - y)/|x - y|n 1 (A(x) - A(y) - (△)A(y)(x - y))f(y)dy,where Ω is homogeneous of degree zero, integrable on the unit sphere and has vanishing moment of order one. A has derivatives of order one in BMO(Rn). We give a smoothness condition which is fairly weaker than that Ω∈ Lipα(Sn-1) (0 ＜α≤ 1) and implies the Lp(Rn) (1 ＜ p ＜ oo) boundedness for the operator TA. Some endpoint estimates are also established.     

Hardy spaces H_L~p(R~n) associated with operators satisfying k-Davies-Gaffney estimates

Let L be a one-to-one operator of type ω having a bounded H∞ functional calculus and satisfying the k-Davies-Gaffney estimates with k ∈ N. In this paper, the authors introduce the Hardy space HLp(Rn) with p ∈ (0, 1] associated with L in terms of square functions defined via {e-t2kL}t>0 and establish their molecular and generalized square function characterizations. Typical examples of such operators include the 2k-order divergence form homogeneous elliptic operator L1 with complex bounded measurable coefficients and the 2k-order Schrdinger type operator L2 := (-Δ)k + Vk, where Δ is the Laplacian and 0≤V∈Llock(Rn). Moreover, as an application, for i ∈ {1, 2}, the authors prove that the associated Riesz transform ▽k(Li-1/2) is bounded from HLip (Rn) to Hp(Rn) for p ∈ (n/(n + k), 1] and establish the Riesz transform characterizations of HL1p (Rn) for p ∈ (rn/(n + kr), 1] if {e-tL1 }t>0 satisfies the Lr-L2 k-off-diagonal estimates with r ∈ (1, 2]. These results when k := 1 and L := L1 are known.     

Local Hardy spaces of Musielak-Orlicz type and their applications

Letφ:R n × [0,∞) → [0,∞) be a function such that φ(x,·) is an Orlicz function and (·,t) ∈ A ∞loc (Rn) (the class of local weights introduced by Rychkov).In this paper,the authors introduce a local Musielak-Orlicz Hardy space hφ(Rn) by the local grand maximal function,and a local BMO-type space bmoφ(Rn) which is further proved to be the dual space of hφ(Rn).As an application,the authors prove that the class of pointwise multipliers for the local BMO-type space bmo φ (Rn),characterized by Nakai and Yabuta,is just the dual of L 1 (Rn) + h Φ 0 (Rn),where φ is an increasing function on (0,∞) satisfying some additional growth conditions and Φ 0 a Musielak-Orlicz function induced by φ.Characterizations of hφ(Rn),including the atoms,the local vertical and the local nontangential maximal functions,are presented.Using the atomic characterization,the authors prove the existence of finite atomic decompositions achieving the norm in some dense subspaces of hφ(Rn),from which,the authors further deduce some criterions for the boundedness on hφ(Rn) of some sublinear operators.Finally,the authors show that the local Riesz transforms and some pseudo-differential operators are bounded on hφ(Rn).     

L P boundedness of area function associated with operators on product spaces

Let L be the infinitesimal generator of an analytic semigroup on L2 (Rn) with suitable upper bounds on its heat kernels. Assume that L has a bounded holomorphic functional calculus on L2(Rn). In this paper,we define the Littlewood- Paley g function associated with L on Rn × Rn, denoted by GL(f)(x1, x2), and decomposition, we prove that ‖SL(f)‖p ≈‖GL(f)‖p ≈‖f‖p for 1 ＜ p ＜∞.     

A note on certain square functions on product spaces

We study certain square functions on product spaces Rn × Rm, whose integral kernels are obtained from kernels which are homogeneous in each factor Rn and Rm and locally in L(log L) away from Rn × {0} and {0} × Rm by means of polynomial distortions in the radial variable. As a model case, we obtain that the Marcinkiewicz integral operator is bounded on Lp(Rn × Rm)(P > 1) for Ω∈ e Llog L(Sn-1 × Sm-1) satisfying the cancellation condition.     

On a Rayleigh-Faber-Krahn Inequality for the Regional Fractional Laplacian

We study a Rayleigh-Faber-Krahn inequality for regional fractional Laplacian operators. In particular, we show that there exists a compactly supported nonnegative Sobolev function u0 that attains the infimum(which will be a positive real number) of the set■.Unlike the corresponding problem for the usual fractional Laplacian, where the domain of the integration is Rn×Rn, symmetrization techniques may not apply here. Our approach is instead based on the direct method and new a priori diameter estimates. We also present several remaining open questions concerning the regularity and shape of the minimizers, and the form of the Euler-Lagrange equations.     

Schur Convexity for Two Classes of Symmetric Functions and Their Applications

For x =(x1, x2, ···, xn) ∈ Rn+∪ Rn-, the symmetric functions Fn(x, r) and Gn(x, r) are defined by r1 + xFij n(x, r) = Fn(x1, x2, ···, xn; r) =x1≤iij1i2···ir ≤n j=1and r1- xGij n(x, r) = Gn(x1, x2, ···, xn; r) =,x1≤i1i2···ir ≤n j=1ij respectively, where r = 1, 2, ···, n, and i1, i2, ···, in are positive integers. In this paper,the Schur convexity of Fn(x, r) and Gn(x, r) are discussed. As applications, by a bijective transformation of independent variable for a Schur convex function, the authors obtain Schur convexity for some other symmetric functions, which subsumes the main results in recent literature; and by use of the theory of majorization establish some inequalities. In particular, the authors derive from the results of this paper the Weierstrass inequalities and the Ky Fan's inequality, and give a generalization of Safta's conjecture in the n-dimensional space and others.     

一类振荡奇异积分算子在Triebel-Lizorkin空间的有界性

The boundedness on Triebel-Lizorkin spaces of oscillatory singular integral operator T in the form ei|x|aΩ(x)|x|-n is studied,where a∈R,a≠0,1 and Ω∈L1(Sn-1) is homogeneous of degree zero and satisfies certain cancellation condition.When kernel Ω(x′)∈Llog L(Sn-1),the α,qp(Rn) boundedness of the above operator is obtained.Meanwhile,when Ω(x) satisfies L1-Dini condition,the above operator Tis bounded on 0,11(Rn).     

ON THE COMMUTATORS OF SINGULAR INTEGRAL OPERATORS

Lp(Rn) (1＜p＜∞) boundedness and a weak type endpoint estimate are considered for the commutators of singular integral operators. A condition on the associated kernel is given under which the L2(Rn) boundedness of the singular integral operators implies the Lp(Rn) boundedness (1＜p＜∞) and the weak type (H1(Rn), L1(Rn))boundedness for the corresponding commutators. A new interpolation theorem is also established.     

LOCAL REGULARITY RESULT IN OBSTACLE PROBLEMS

We obtain a local regularity result for solutions to Kψ,θ-obstacle problem of A-harmonic equation divA(x,u(x),▽u(x))=0,where A:Ω× R×Rn → Rn is a Carath'eodory function satisfying some coercivity and growth conditions with the natural exponent 1pn,the obstacle function ψ≥0,and the boundary data θ∈W1,p(?).     

Perturbation Theory for Solutions to Second Order Elliptic Operators with Complex Coefficients and the L p Dirichlet Problem

We establish a Dahlberg-type perturbation theorem for second order divergence form elliptic operators with complex coefficients. In our previous paper, we showed the following result: If L_0 = div A~0(x)? + B~0(x) · ? is a p-elliptic operator satisfying the assumptions of Theorem 1.1 then the LpDirichlet problem for the operator L_0 is solvable in the upper half-space Rn+. In this paper we prove that the Lpsolvability is stable under small perturbations of L_0. That is if L_1 is another divergence form elliptic operator with complex coefficients and the coefficients of the operators L_0 and L_1 are sufficiently close in the sense of Carleson measures, then the LpDirichlet problem for the operator L_1 is solvable for the same value of p. As a corollary we obtain a new result on Lpsolvability of the Dirichlet problem for operators of the form L = div A(x)? + B(x) · ? where the matrix A satisfies weaker Carleson condition(expressed in term of oscillation of coefficients). In particular the coefficients of A need no longer be differentiable and instead satisfy a Carleson condition that controls the oscillation of the matrix A over Whitney boxes. This result in the real case has been established by Dindoˇs,Petermichl and Pipher.     

A LIPSCHITZ ESTIMATE FOR MULTILINEAR OSCILLATORY SINGULAR INTEGRALS WITH ROUGH KERNELS

In this paper, for the multilinear oscillatory singular integral operators TA1,A2,..,Ar defined by (x) where P(x,y) is a nontrivial and real-valued polynomial defined on Rn × Rn, Ω(x) is homogeneous of degree zero on Rn, As(x) has derivatives of order ms in ∧βs (0 ＜βs ＜1),Rms 1 (As; x, y) denotes the (ms 1)-st remainder of the Taylor series of As at x expended about y(s=1,2,…,r),M=∑rs=1ms, the author proves that if 0<β=∑rs=1βs<1, and Ω∈ Lq(Sn-1) for some q ＞ 1/(1 - β), then for any p ∈ (1, ∞), and some appropriate 0 ＜ β ＜ 1, TA1,A2,…,Ar is bounded on Lp(Rn).     

Rough singular integrals associated with surfaces of Van der Corput type简

In this paper,the authors establish the Lp-mapping properties for a class of singular integrals along surfaces in Rn of the form {φ(|u|)u : u ∈ Rn} as well as the related maximal operators provided that the function φ satisfies certain oscillatory integral estimates of Van der Corput type,and the integral kernels are given by the radial function h ∈Δγ(R+) for γ 1 and the sphere function Ω∈ Fβ(Sn.1) for some β 0,which is distinct from H1(Sn.1).     

Weighted norm inequalities for the commutators of multilinear singular integral operators

In this paper, the authors consider the weighted estimates for the commutators of multilinear Calderón-Zygmund operators.By introducing an operator which shifts the commutation, and establishing the weighted estimates for this new operator, the authors prove that, if p₁ ∈ （1,∞）, p₂,…,p_m ∈(1,∞], p ∈ （0,∞） with 1/p =Σ1≤k≤ m 1/pk, then for any weight w, the commutators of m-linear Galderón-Zygmund operator are bounded from L^P1（Rⁿ,M_l（logL）^σw）× p2（Rn,M^w）×...×Lpm（Rn,Mw） to Lp（Rn,w）with σ to be a constant depending only on p₁ and the order of commutator     

Tail estimates for one-dimensional non-nearest-neighbor random walk in random environment

Suppose that the integers are assigned i.i.d. random variables {(β gx , . . . , β 1x , α x )} (each taking values in the unit interval and the sum of them being 1), which serve as an environment. This environment defines a random walk {X n } (called RWRE) which, when at x, moves one step of length 1 to the right with probability α x and one step of length k to the left with probability β kx for 1≤ k≤ g. For certain environment distributions, we determine the almost-sure asymptotic speed of the RWRE and show that the chance of the RWRE deviating below this speed has a polynomial rate of decay. This is the generalization of the results by Dembo, Peres and Zeitouni in 1996. In the proof we use a large deviation result for the product of random matrices and some tail estimates and moment estimates for the total population size in a multi-type branching process with random environment.     

A Class of Constrained Inverse Eigenproblem and Associated Approximation Problem for Symmetric Reflexive Matrices

Let S∈Rn×n be a symmetric and nontrival involution matrix. We say that A∈E R n×n is a symmetric reflexive matrix if AT = A and SAS = A. Let S R r n×n(S)={A|A= AT,A = SAS, A∈Rn×n}. This paper discusses the following two problems. The first one is as follows. Given Z∈Rn×m (m < n),∧= diag(λ1,...,λm)∈Rm×m, andα,β∈R withα<β. Find a subset (?)(Z,∧,α,β) of SRrn×n(S) such that AZ = Z∧holds for any A∈(?)(Z,∧,α,β) and the remaining eigenvaluesλm 1 ,...,λn of A are located in the interval [α,β], Moreover, for a given B∈Rn×n, the second problem is to find AB∈(?)(Z,∧,α,β) such that where ||.|| is the Frobenius norm. Using the properties of symmetric reflexive matrices, the two problems are essentially decomposed into the same kind of subproblems for two real symmetric matrices with smaller dimensions, and then the expressions of the general solution for the two problems are derived.
