Asymptotic radial symmetry and growth estimates of positive solutions to weighted Hardy–Littlewood–Sobolev system of integral equations

In this article, we study the asymptotics of the positive solutions of the Euler–Lagrange system of the weighted Hardy–Littlewood–Sobolev in R ⁿ $$\begin{array}{ll} u(x) = \frac{1}{|x|^{\alpha}}\int\limits_{R^{n}} \frac{v(y)^q}{|y|^{\beta}|x-y|^{\lambda}} dy,\\ v(x) = \frac{1}{|x|^{\beta}}\int\limits_{R^{n}} \frac{u(y)^p}{|y|^{\alpha}|x-y|^{\lambda}} dy.\end{array}$$ A new iterative method is introduced to obtain the optimal weighted local integrability of u(x). By this new method, we establish the asymptotic estimates of the solutions around the origin and near infinity. With these new estimates, we complete the study of the asymptotic behavior of the solutions. We believe this new iterative method and the new type of the weighted local estimates can be used in many other cases.     

A note on approximation to the identity with iterated kernels

Пустьl ₁ иl ₂ — неотрицательные убывающие функции на (0, ∞). Допустим, что $$\int\limits_0^\infty {S^{n_i - 1} l_i (S)\left( {1 + \log + \frac{1}{{S^{n_i } l_i (S)}}} \right)dS}< \infty ,$$ , гдеn ₁ иn ₂ — натуральные числа. Тогда для каждой функции \(f \in L^1 (R^{n_1 + n_2 } )\) при почти всех (x₀, у₀) мы имеем $$\mathop {\lim }\limits_{\lambda \to \infty } \lambda ^{n_1 + n_2 } \int\limits_{R^{n_1 } } {\int\limits_{R^{n_2 } } {l_1 } } (\lambda |x|)l_2 (\lambda |y|)f(x_0 - x,y_0 - y)dx dy = f(x_0 ,y_0 )\int\limits_{R^{n_1 } } {\int\limits_{R^{n_2 } } {l_i (|x|)l_2 } } (|y|)dx dy.$$      

A saturation phenomenon for a nonlinear nonlocal eigenvalue problem

Given \(1\le q \le 2\) and \(\alpha \in \mathbb {R}\), we study the properties of the solutions of the minimum problem

$$\begin{aligned} \lambda (\alpha ,q)=\min \left\{ \dfrac{\displaystyle \int _{-1}^{1}|u'|^{2}dx+\alpha \left| \int _{-1}^{1}|u|^{q-1}u\, dx\right| ^{\frac{2}{q}}}{\displaystyle \int _{-1}^{1}|u|^{2}dx}, u\in H_{0}^{1}(-1,1),\,u\not \equiv 0\right\} . \end{aligned}$$

In particular, depending on \(\alpha \) and q, we show that the minimizers have constant sign up to a critical value of \(\alpha =\alpha _{q}\), and when \(\alpha >\alpha _{q}\) the minimizers are odd.

     

Symplectic mean curvature flow in CP 2

Let Σ be an immersed symplectic surface in CP ² with constant holomorphic sectional curvature k > 0. Suppose Σ evolves along the mean curvature flow in CP ². In this paper, we show that the symplectic mean curvature flow exists for long time and converges to a holomorphic curve if the initial surface satisfies ${|A|^2 \leq \lambda|H|^2 + \frac{2\lambda-1}{\lambda}k}$ and ${\cos\alpha\geq\sqrt{\frac{7\lambda-3}{3\lambda}}\left(\frac{1}{2} < \lambda\leq\frac{2}{3}\right) {\rm or} |A|^2\leq \frac{2}{3}|H|^2+\frac{4}{5}k\cos\alpha\, {\rm and} \cos\alpha\geq 1-\varepsilon}$ , for some ${\varepsilon}$ .     

Global integrability for minimizers of anisotropic functionals

We consider integral functionals in which the density has growth p _i with respect to ${\frac{\partial u}{\partial x_i}}$ , like in $$\int\limits_{\Omega}\left( \left| \frac{\partial u}{\partial x_1}(x) \right|^{p_1} + \left|\frac{\partial u}{\partial x_2}(x)\right|^{p_2} + \cdots + \left|\frac{\partial u}{\partial x_n}(x) \right|^{p_n} \right) dx.$$ We show that higher integrability of the boundary datum forces minimizer to be more integrable.     

Sharp nonexistence results of prescribed L 2-norm solutions for some class of Schrödinger–Poisson and quasi-linear equations

In this paper, we study the existence of minimizers for $$F(u) = \frac{1}{2} \int_{\mathbb{R}^3} |\nabla u|^{2} {\rm d}x + \frac{1}{4} \int_{\mathbb{R}^3} \int_{\mathbb{R}^3} \frac{| u(x)|^2 | u(y)|^2}{| x-y|} {\rm d}x{\rm d}y-\frac{1}{p} \int_{\mathbb{R}^3}|u|^p {\rm d}x$$ on the constraint $$S(c) = \{u \in H^1(\mathbb{R}^3) : \int_{\mathbb{R}^3}|u|^2 {\rm d}x = c\}$$ , where c >  0 is a given parameter. In the range ${p \in [3,\frac{10}{3}]}$ , we explicit a threshold value of c >  0 separating existence and nonexistence of minimizers. We also derive a nonexistence result of critical points of F(u) restricted to S(c) when c >  0 is sufficiently small. Finally, as a by-product of our approaches, we extend some results of Colin et al. (Nonlinearity 23(6):1353–1385, 2010) where a constrained minimization problem, associated with a quasi-linear equation, is considered.     

Critical points for functionals with quasilinear singular Euler–Lagrange equations

For a bounded, open subset Ω of ${\mathbb{R}^{N}}$ with N > 2, and a measurable function a(x) satisfying 0 < α ≤ a(x) ≤ β, a.e. ${x \in \Omega}$ , we study the existence of positive solutions of the Euler–Lagrange equation associated to the non-differentiable functional $$\begin{array}{ll}J(v) = \frac{1}{2} \int \limits_{\Omega} [a(x)+|v|^{\gamma}]| \nabla v|^{2}- \frac{1}{p} \int \limits_{\Omega}(v_{+})^p,\end{array}$$ if γ > 0 and p > 1. Special emphasis is placed on the case ${2^{*} < p < \frac{2^{*}}{2} ( \gamma +2 )}$ .     

A weighted Hardy inequality and nonexistence of positive solutions

In this article, we prove that the following weighted Hardy inequality $$\begin{array}{ll}\big(\frac{|{d-p}|}{p}\big)^{p}\, \int\limits_{\Omega}\, \frac{|{u}|^{p}}{|{x}|^{p}}\;d\mu \\ \quad \quad \le \int\limits_{\Omega}\,|{\nabla u}|^{p}\;d\mu+ \big(\frac{|{d-p}|}{p}\big)^{p-1}\,\textrm{sgn}(d-p)\,\int\limits_{\Omega}|{u}|^{p}\,\frac{(x^{t}Ax)^{p/2}}{|{x}|^{p}}\; d\mu \quad \quad \quad (1) \end{array}$$ holds with optimal Hardy constant ${\big(\frac{|d-p|}{p}\big)^{p}}$ for all ${u \in W^{1,p}_{\mu,0}(\Omega)}$ if the dimension d ≥ 2, 1 < p < d, and for all ${u \in W^{1,p}_{\mu,0}(\Omega{\setminus}\{0\})}$ if p > d ≥ 1. Here we assume that Ω is an open subset of ${\mathbb{R}^{d}}$ with ${0 \in \Omega}$ , A is a real d × d-symmetric positive definite matrix, c > 0, and $$ d \mu: = \rho(x) \,dx \qquad \textrm{with} \quad \rho(x) = c \cdot \exp(-\frac{1}{p}(x^{t}Ax)^{p/2}), \quad x \in\Omega.\quad \quad (2) $$ If p > d ≥ 1, then we can deduce from (1) a weighted Poincaré inequality on ${W^{1,p}_{\mu,0}(\Omega \setminus\{0\})}$ . Due to the optimality of the Hardy constant in (1), we can establish the nonexistence (locally in time) of positive weak solutions of a p-Kolmogorov parabolic equation perturbed by a singular potential in dimension d = 1, for 1 < p <  + ∞, and when Ω =  ]0, + ∞[.     

Radial symmetry results for systems of integral equations on {\Omega\subset {\mathbb{R}}^n}

The main purpose of this paper is to investigate positive solutions of the following system of integral equations with weight Riesz potential on Ω: $$\left\{\begin{array}{ll} u(x)=\int\limits_{\Omega}{|x|^{-\alpha}|x-y|^{-\mu}|y|^{-\beta}}{u^a(y)v^b(y)}dy,\\ v(x)=\int\limits_{\Omega}{|x|^{-\gamma}|x-y|^{-\nu}|y|^{-\kappa}}{u^c(y)v^d(y)}dy,\\ \end{array} \right.$$ where a, b, c, d, α, β, γ, κ, μ, ν are constants. With the method of moving planes, we establish the symmetry of both the solution and the bounded C ¹ domain Ω if u and v are constants on ?Ω. Moreover, we also give a symmetry result for systems of integral equations with weight Riesz potential on exterior domains.     

Rellich inequalities with weights

Let Ω be a cone in ${\mathbb {R}^{n}}$ with n ≥? 2. For every fixed ${\alpha \in \mathbb {R}}$ we find the best constant in the Rellich inequality ${\int\nolimits_{\Omega}|x|^{\alpha}|\Delta u|^{2}dx \ge C\int\nolimits_{\Omega}|x|^{\alpha-4}|u|^{2}dx}$ for ${u \in C^{2}_{c}(\overline\Omega\setminus\{0\})}$ . We also estimate the best constant for the same inequality on ${C^{2}_{c}(\Omega)}$ . Moreover we show improved Rellich inequalities with remainder terms involving logarithmic weights on cone-like domains.

Asymptotic properties for the loglog laws under positive association

Let {X _n : n ?? 1} be a strictly stationary sequence of positively associated random variables with mean zero and finite variance. Set $S_n = \sum\limits_{k = 1}^n {X_k }$ , $Mn = \mathop {\max }\limits_{k \leqslant n} \left| {S_k } \right|$ , n ?? 1. Suppose that $0 < \sigma ^2 = EX_1^2 + 2\sum\limits_{k = 2}^\infty {EX_1 X_k < \infty }$ . In this paper, we prove that if E|X ₁|^2+?? < for some ?? ?? (0, 1], and $\sum\limits_{j = n + 1}^\infty {Cov\left( {X_1 ,X_j } \right) = O\left( {n^{ - \alpha } } \right)}$ for some ?? > 1, then for any b > ?1/2 $$\mathop {\lim }\limits_{\varepsilon \searrow 0} \varepsilon ^{2b + 1} \sum\limits_{n = 1}^\infty {\frac{{(\log \log n)^{b - 1/2} }} {{n^{3/2} \log n}}} E\left\{ {M_n - \sigma \varepsilon \sqrt {2n\log \log n} } \right\}_ + = \frac{{2^{ - 1/2 - b} E\left| N \right|^{2(b + 1)} }} {{(b + 1)(2b + 1)}}\sum\limits_{k = 0}^\infty {\frac{{( - 1)^k }} {{(2k + 1)^{2(b + 1)} }}}$$ and $$\mathop {\lim }\limits_{\varepsilon \nearrow \infty } \varepsilon ^{ - 2(b + 1)} \sum\limits_{n = 1}^\infty {\frac{{(\log \log n)^b }} {{n^{3/2} \log n}}E\left\{ {\sigma \varepsilon \sqrt {\frac{{\pi ^2 n}} {{8\log \log n}}} - M_n } \right\}} _ + = \frac{{\Gamma (b + 1/2)}} {{\sqrt 2 (b + 1)}}\sum\limits_{k = 0}^\infty {\frac{{( - 1)^k }} {{(2k + 1)^{2b + 2} }}} ,$$ where x ₊ = max{x, 0}, N is a standard normal random variable, and ??(·) is a Gamma function.     

Low Mach number limit of multidimensional steady flows on the airfoil problem

Given $$\alpha >0$$, we establish the following two supercritical Moser–Trudinger inequalities $$\begin{aligned} \mathop {\sup }\limits _{ u \in W^{1,n}_{0,\mathrm{rad}}(B): \int _B |\nabla u|^n dx \le 1 } \int _B \exp \big ( (\alpha _n + |x|^\alpha ) |u|^{\frac{n}{n-1}} \big ) dx < +\infty \end{aligned}$$and $$\begin{aligned} \mathop {\sup }\limits _{ u\in W^{1,n}_{0,\mathrm{rad}}(B): \int _B |\nabla u|^n dx \le 1 } \int _B \exp \big ( \alpha _n |u|^{\frac{n}{n-1} + |x|^\alpha } \big ) dx < +\infty , \end{aligned}$$where $$W^{1,n}_{0,\mathrm{rad}}(B)$$ is the usual Sobolev spaces of radially symmetric functions on B in $${\mathbb {R}}^n$$ with $$n\ge 2$$. Without restricting to the class of functions $$W^{1,n}_{0,\mathrm{rad}}(B)$$, we should emphasize that the above inequalities fail in $$W^{1,n}_{0}(B)$$. Questions concerning the sharpness of the above inequalities as well as the existence of the optimal functions are also studied. To illustrate the finding, an application to a class of boundary value problems on balls is presented. This is the second part in a set of our works concerning functional inequalities in the supercritical regime.     

Die Ungleichungen von Vietoris

The inequalities $$P_{k,l} = \frac{1}{{B(l + 1,k)}}\int\limits_0^{l/(k + l)} {x^l (1 - x)^{k - 1} dx = I_{l/(k + l)} (l + 1,k)< \frac{1}{2}}$$ and $$\Phi _{k,l,\mu } = \frac{1}{{B(k,k\mu + 1)}}\int\limits_0^1 {x^{k - 1} (1 - x)^{k\mu } I_x (l + 1,l\mu )dx< \frac{1}{2}}$$ are shown to be valid for any positive real numbersk, l, μ.     

Solvability of the Dirichlet problem for degenerate quasilinear elliptic equations

In a bounded domain of the n -dimensional (n?2) space one considers a class of degenerate quasilinear elliptic equations, whose model is the equation $$\sum\limits_{i = 1}^n {\frac{{\partial F}}{{\partial x_i }}} (a^{\ell _i } (u)\left| {u_{x_i } } \right|^{m_i - 2} u_{x_i } ) = f(x),$$ where x =(x₁,..., x_r), l_i?0, m_i>1, the function f is summable with some power, the nonnegative continuous function a(u) vanishes at a finite number of points and satisfies \(\frac{{lim}}{{\left| u \right| \to \infty }}a(u) > 0\) . One proves the existence of bounded generalized solutions with a finite integral $$\int\limits_\Omega {\sum\limits_{i = 1}^n {a^{\ell _i } (u)\left| {u_{x_i } } \right|^{m_i } dx} }$$ of the Dirichlet problem with zero boundary conditions.     

Continua of local minimizers in a non-smooth model of phase transitions

In this paper, we study critical points of the functional $$J_{\epsilon}(u):=\frac{\epsilon^2}{2} \int\limits_0^1|u_x|^2{\rm {d}}x+\int\limits_0^1F(u){\rm {d}}x, u \,\in W^{1,2}{(0,1)}, \quad \quad \quad(1)$$ where ${F : \mathbb {R}\rightarrow \mathbb {R}}$ is assumed to be a double-well potential. This functional represents the total free energy in models of phase transition and allows for the study of interesting phenomena such as slow dynamics. In particular, we consider a non-classical choice for F modeled on ${F(u)=|1-u^2|^{\alpha}}$ where 1?<????<?2. The discontinuity in F??? at ±1 leads to the existence of multiple continua of critical points that are not present in the classical case ${F \in C^2}$ . We prove that the interior points of these continua are local minima. The energy of these local minimizers is strictly greater than the global minimum of ${J_{\epsilon}}$ . In particular, the existence of these continua leads to an alternative explanation for the slow dynamics observed in phase transition models.
