Long-time behavior of stable-like processes

In this paper, we consider a long-time behavior of stable-like processes. A stable-like process is a Feller process given by the symbol p(x,ξ)=−iβ(x)ξ+γ(x)|ξ|^α(x)$p(x,\xi )=-i\beta \left(x\right)\xi +\gamma \left(x\right){\left|\xi \right|}^{\alpha \left(x\right)}$, where α(x)∈(0,2)$\alpha \left(x\right)\in (0,2)$, β(x)∈R$\beta \left(x\right)\in \mathbb{R}$ and γ(x)∈(0,∞)$\gamma \left(x\right)\in (0,\infty )$. More precisely, we give sufficient conditions for recurrence, transience and ergodicity of stable-like processes in terms of the stability function α(x)$\alpha \left(x\right)$, the drift function β(x)$\beta \left(x\right)$ and the scaling function γ(x)$\gamma \left(x\right)$. Further, as a special case of these results we give a new proof for the recurrence and transience property of one-dimensional symmetric stable Lévy processes with the index of stability α≠1$\alpha \ne 1$.     

Regularity results for fully nonlinear parabolic integro-differential operators

In this paper, we consider the regularity theory for fully nonlinear parabolic integro-differential equations with symmetric kernels. We are able to find parabolic versions of Alexandrov–Backelman–Pucci estimate with $0<\sigma <2$ . And we show a Harnack inequality, Hölder regularity, and $C^{1,\alpha }$ -regularity of the solutions by obtaining decay estimates of their level sets.

The Dirichlet problem for stable-like operators and related probabilistic representations

We study stochastic differential equations with jumps with no diffusion part, governed by a large class of stable-like operators, which may contain a drift term. For this class of operators, we establish the regularity of solutions to the Dirichlet problem up to the boundary as well as the usual stochastic characterization of these solutions. We also establish key connections between the recurrence properties of the jump process and the associated nonlocal partial differential operator. Provided that the process is positive (Harris) recurrent, we also show that the mean hitting time of a ball is a viscosity solution of an exterior Dirichlet problem.     

Regularity results for fully nonlinear integro-differential operators with nonsymmetric positive kernels

In this paper, we consider fully nonlinear integro-differential equations with possibly nonsymmetric kernels. We are able to find different versions of Alexandroff–Backelman–Pucci estimate corresponding to the full class ${\mathcal {S}^{\mathfrak {L}_0}}$ of uniformly elliptic nonlinear equations with 1?<?σ?<?2 (subcritical case) and to their subclass ${\mathcal {S}_{\eta}^{\mathfrak {L}_0}}$ with 0?<?σ?≤ 1. We show that ${\mathcal {S}_{\eta}^{\mathfrak {L}_0}}$ still includes a large number of nonlinear operators as well as linear operators. And we show a Harnack inequality, H?lder regularity, and C ^1,α -regularity of the solutions by obtaining decay estimates of their level sets in each cases.     

The Regularity for Solutions of Variational Inequalities

The regularity for solutions of elliptic equations is rather perfectly solved. But it does not so perfect for that of elliptic variational inequalities. In literature only different special situations are considered. Now the boundedness, C^{0,λ} continuity and C^{1,α} regularity are proved for solutions of one-sided obstacle problems under more general structural conditions, in which the growth orders of u are permitted to reach the critical exponents and the growth order ϒ of the gradient in D is permitted to be super critical as 1 < p < n.     

Regularity for quasi-linear degenerate elliptic equations with VMO coefficients

In this paper we establish an interior regularity of weak solution for quasi-linear degenerate elliptic equations under the subcritical growth if its coefficient matrix A（x, u） satisfies a VMO condition in the variable x uniformly with respect to all u, and the lower order item B（x, u, △↓u） satisfies the subcritical growth （1.2）. In particular, when F（x） ∈ L^q（Ω） and f（x） ∈ L^γ（Ω） with q,γ 〉 for any 1 〈 p 〈 ＋∞, we obtain interior HSlder continuity of any weak solution of （1.1） u with an index κ = min{1 - n/q, 1 - n/γ}.     

Boundary properties for several singular integral operators in real Clifford analysis

On the basis of the Cauchy integral formulas for regular and biregular functions, we define some Cauchy-type singular integral operators. Then we discuss the Hlder continuous property of some singular integral operators with one integral variable. Then we divide a singular integral operator with two variables into three parts and prove its Hlder continuous property on the boundary.     

Spectral properties of non-local differential operators

In this article we consider the spectral properties of a class of non-local operators that arise from the study of non-local reaction-diffusion equations. Such equations are used to model a variety of physical and biological systems with examples ranging from Ohmic heating to population dynamics. The operators studied here are bounded perturbations of linear (local) differential operators. The non-local perturbation is in the form of an integral term. It is shown here that the spectral properties of these non-local operators can differ considerably from those of their local counterpart. Multiplicities of eigenvalues are studied and new oscillation results for the associated eigenfunctions are presented. These results highlight problems with certain similar results and provide an alternative formulation. Finally, the stability of steady states of associated non-local reaction-diffusion equations is discussed.     

Regularity and separation from potential barriers for a non-local phase-field system

We show that solutions of a two-phase model involving a non-local interactive term become more regular immediately after the moment they separate from the pure phases. This result allows us to prove stronger convergence to equilibria. A new proof of the separation property is also given.     

Regularity results for sub-Riemannian geodesics

Regularity for a class of strongly degenerate quasilinear operators

We prove a Harnack inequality and regularity for solutions of a quasilinear strongly degenerate elliptic equation. We assume the coefficients of the structure conditions to belong to suitable Stummel–Kato classes.     

Regularity results for degenerate elliptic systems

We prove regularity results for certain degenerate quasilinear elliptic systems with coefficients which depend on two different weights. By using Sobolev- and Poincaré inequalities due to Chanillo and Wheeden [S. Chanillo, R.L. Wheeden, Weighted Poincaré and Sobolev inequalities and estimates for weighted Peano maximal functions, Amer. J. Math. 107 (1985) 1191–1226; S. Chanillo, R.L. Wheeden, Harnack's inequality and mean-value inequalities for solutions of degenerate elliptic equations, Comm. Partial Differential Equations 11 (1986) 1111–1134] we derive a new weak Harnack inequality and adapt an idea due to L. Caffarelli [L.A. Caffarelli, Regularity theorems for weak solutions of some nonlinear systems, Comm. Pure Appl. Math. 35 (1982) 833–838] to prove a priori estimates for bounded weak solutions. For example we show that every bounded weak solution of the system −Dα(aαβ(x,u,∇u)Dβui)=0$-D_{\alpha }(a^{\alpha \beta }(x,u,\mathrm{\nabla }u)D_{\beta }{u}^i)=0$ with |x|²|ξ|²?aαβξαξβ?τ|x||ξ|²${|x|}^2{|\xi |}^2?a^{\alpha \beta }{\xi }_{\alpha }{\xi }_{\beta }?{|x|}^{\tau }{|\xi |}^2$, |x|<1$|x|<1$, τ∈(1,2)$\tau \in (1,2)$ is Hölder continuous. Furthermore we derive a Liouville theorem for entire solutions of the above systems.     

Regularity results for real analytic homotopies

Summary In this paper, we study two main features of the homotopy curves which we follow when we use the homotopy method for solving the zeros of analytic maps. First, we prove that near the solution the curve behaves nicely. Secondly, we prove that the set of starting points which give smooth homotopy curves is open and dense. The second property is of particular importance in computer implementation.This research was supported by the National Science Foundation under Grants MCS 78-02420 (Li) and MCS-7818858 (Mallet-Paret) and MCS-7818221 (Yorke), by the Army Research office under Grant DAAG-29-80-C-0040 (Li and Yorke)
