Riesz Potentials and Liouville Operators on Fractals

An analogue to the theory of Riesz potentials and Liouville operators in R ⁿ for arbitrary fractal d-sets is developed. Corresponding function spaces agree with traces of Euclidean Besov spaces on fractals. By means of associated quadratic forms we construct strongly continuous semigroups with Liouville operators as infinitesimal generator. The case of Dirichlet forms is discussed separately. As an example of related pseudodifferential equations the fractional heat-type equation is solved.     

The S′-convolution with singular kernels in the Euclidean case and the product domain case

We characterize those tempered distributions which are S′-convolvable with a given class of singular convolution kernels. We study both, the Euclidean case and the product domain case. In the Euclidean case, we consider a class of kernels that includes Riesz kernels, Calderón–Zygmund singular convolution kernels, finite part distributions defined by hypersingular convolution kernels, and Hörmander multipliers. In the product domain case, we consider a class of singular kernels introduced by Fefferman and Stein as a generalization of the n-dimensional Hilbert kernel.     

On certain Riesz families in vector-valued de Branges-Rovnyak spaces

We obtain criteria for the Riesz basis property for families of reproducing kernels in vector-valued de Branges-Rovnyak spaces H(b). In particular, it is shown that in several situations the property implies a special form for the function b. We also study the completeness of a related family.     

Nonlocal time-multipoint problem for a class of evolution pseudodifferential equations

We prove the well-posed solvability of a nonlocal time-multipoint problem for evolution equations with pseudodifferential operators with analytic symbols and initial condition in the space of distributions of the type W′.     

Complex powers of hypoelliptic pseudodifferential operators

Complex powers of a class of hypoelliptic pseudodifferential operators in Rn, as well as their heat kernels are studied. An application to the Schatten-von Neumann property of pseudodifferential operators is given.     

Worst-case complexity bounds for algorithms in the theory of integral quadratic forms

The problem of factoring an integer and many other number-theoretic problems can be formulated in terms of binary quadratic Diophantine equations. This class of equations is also significant in complexity theory, subclasses of it having provided most of the natural examples of problems apparently intermediate in difficulty between P and NP-complete problems, as well as NP-complete problems [2, 3, 22, 26]. The theory of integral quadratic forms developed by Gauss gives some of the deepest known insights into the structure of classes of binary quadratic Diophantine equations. This paper establishes explicit polynomial worst-case running time bounds for algorithms to solve certain of the problems in this theory. These include algorithms to do the following: (1) reduce a given integral binary quadratic form; (2) quasi-reduce a given integral ternary quadratic form; (3) produce a form composed of two given integral binary quadratic forms; (4) calculate genus characters of a given integral binary quadratic form, when a complete prime factorization of its determinant D is given as input; (5) produce a form that is the square root under composition of a given form (when it exists), when a complete factorization of D and a quadratic nonresidue for each prime dividing D is given as input.     

Parabolic Type Equations and Markov Stochastic Processes on Adeles

In this paper we study the Cauchy problem for new classes of parabolic type pseudodifferential equations over the rings of finite adeles and adeles. We show that the adelic topology is metrizable and give an explicit metric. We find explicit representations of the fundamental solutions (the heat kernels). These fundamental solutions are transition functions of Markov processes which are adelic analogues of the Archimedean Brownian motion. We show that the Cauchy problems for these equations are well-posed and find explicit representations of the evolution semigroup and formulas for the solutions of homogeneous and non-homogeneous equations.     

Some applications of a galerkin-collocation method for boundary integral equations of the first kind

Here we apply the boundary integral method to several plane interior and exterior boundary value problems from conformal mapping, elasticity and fluid dynamics. These are reduced to equivalent boundary integral equations on the boundary curve which are Fredholm integral equations of the first kind having kernels with logarithmic singularities and defining strongly elliptic pseudodifferential operators of order - 1 which provide certain coercivity properties. The boundary integral equations are approximated by Galerkin's method using B-splines on the boundary curve in connection with an appropriate numerical quadrature, which yields a modified collocation scheme. We present a complete asymptotic error analysis for the fully discretized numerical equations which is based on superapproximation results for Galerkin's method, on consistency estimates and stability properties in connection with the illposedness of the first kind equations in L₂. We also present computational results of several numerical experiments revealing accuracy, efficiency and an amazing asymptotical agreement of the numerical with the theoretical errors. The method is used for computations of conformal mappings, exterior Stokes flows and slow viscous flows past elliptic obstacles.     

On Laplace and Stokes potentials

Integral equations associated with the basic boundary value problems for the Laplace and Stokes equations are considered. The integral operators for these integral equations are interpreted as the pseudodifferential operators, and their principal symbols are calculated. The symbols are obtained in terms of the principal curvatures and the coefficients of the first quadratic form of the boundary. As a consequence, the initial approximation is suggested for the iterative methods solving the integral equations. © 1998 by B. G. Teubner Stuttgart–John Wiley & Sons Ltd.     

Error Bounds for Solving Pseudodifferential Equations on Spheres by Collocation with Zonal Kernels

The problem of solving pseudodifferential equations on spheres by collocation with zonal kernels is considered and bounds for the approximation error are established. The bounds are given in terms of the maximum separation distance of the collocation points, the order of the pseudodifferential operator, and the smoothness of the employed zonal kernel. A by-product of the results is an improvement on the previously known convergence order estimates for Lagrange interpolation.     

Energies,group-invariant kernels and numerical integration on compact manifolds

The purpose of this paper is to derive quadrature estimates on compact, homogeneous manifolds embedded in Euclidean spaces, via energy functionals associated with a class of group-invariant kernels which are generalizations of zonal kernels on the spheres or radial kernels in euclidean spaces. Our results apply, in particular, to weighted Riesz kernels defined on spheres and certain projective spaces. Our energy functionals describe both uniform and perturbed uniform distribution of quadrature point sets.     

On the number of solutions of a type of one-dimensional pseudodifferential equations in Sobolev-Slobodetsky space

The paper considers homogeneous, one-dimensional pseudodifferential equations of nonnegative order with symbols of the form Σ _i=1 ^N th(k _i x + ω _i )A _i (ξ). Using a relationship between such equations and the systems of singular equations, some estimates for the number of solutions of pseudodifferential equations in the Sobolev-Slobodetsky space are obtained.     

Bessel Potential Operators for Canonical Lipschitz Domains

We construct convolution operators which define isomorphisms between SOBOLEV spaces of distributions supported on a canonical LIPSCHITZ domain. These operators are used for reduction of order of WIENER -HOPF equations or pseudodifferential equations on a canonical LIPSCHITZ domain.     

Evolution equations for the probabilistic generalization of the Voigt profile function

The spectrum profile that emerges in molecular spectroscopy and atmospheric radiative transfer as the combined effect of Doppler and pressure broadenings is known as the Voigt profile function. Because of its convolution integral representation, the Voigt profile can be interpreted as the probability density function of the sum of two independent random variables with Gaussian density (due to the Doppler effect) and Lorentzian density (due to the pressure effect). Since these densities belong to the class of symmetric Lévy stable distributions, a probabilistic generalization is proposed as the convolution of two arbitrary symmetric Lévy densities. We study the case when the widths of the distributions considered depend on a scale factor τ that is representative of spatial inhomogeneity or temporal non-stationarity. The evolution equations for this probabilistic generalization of the Voigt function are here introduced and interpreted as generalized diffusion equations containing two Riesz space-fractional derivatives, thus classified as space-fractional diffusion equations of double order.     

Solvability of a type of one-dimensional pseudodifferential operators

The paper suggests an approach to one-dimensional pseudodifferential equations of nonnegative order, whose symbols are of the form A ₁(ξ) + th(kx + ω)A ₂(ξ). The method is based on reduction of the considered pseudodifferential equation to an integral equation. Some integral representations of solutions are found.     

On differential inclusions with additive generalized functions

We study a space of potentials on the n-dimensional Euclidean space that are constructed on the basis of rearrangement-invariant spaces (RISs) by means of convolutions with kernels of general form. These spaces include the classical spaces of Bessel and Riesz potentials as particular cases. We examine the integral properties of the potentials and find necessary and sufficient conditions for their embedding in an RIS. Optimal RISs for such embeddings are also described.     

Analytic semigroups of pseudodifferential operators on vector-valued Sobolev spaces

In this paper we study continuity and invertibility of pseudodifferential operators with non-regular Banach space valued symbols. The corresponding pseudodifferential operators generate analytic semigroups on the Sobolev spaces W _p ^k (? ⁿ , E) with k ∈ ?₀, 1 ≤ p ≤ ∞. Here E is an arbitrary Banach space. We also apply the theory to solve non-autonomous parabolic pseudodifferential equations in Sobolev spaces.     

Non-Archimedean Pseudodifferential Operators and Feller Semigroups

In this article we study a large class of non-Archimedean pseudodifferential operators whose symbols are negative definite functions.We prove that these operators extend to generators of Feller semigroups. In order to study these operators, we introduce a new class of anisotropic Sobolev spaces, which are the natural domains for the operators considered here.We also study the Cauchy problem for certain pseudodifferential equations.     

Quasimodular forms and automorphic pseudodifferential operators of mixed weight

Jacobi-like forms for a discrete subgroup \(\Gamma \) of \(SL(2, \mathbb R)\) are formal power series which generalize Jacobi forms, and they are in one-to-one correspondence with automorphic pseudodifferential operators for \(\Gamma \). The well-known Cohen–Kuznetsov lifting of a modular form f provides a Jacobi-like form and therefore an automorphic pseudodifferential operator associated to f. Given a pair \((\lambda , \mu )\) of integers, automorphic pseudodifferential operators can be extended to those of mixed weight. We show that each coefficient of an automorphic pseudodifferential operator of mixed weight is a quasimodular form and prove the existence of a lifting of Cohen–Kuznetsov type for each quasimodular form.     

Vector valued Riesz distributions on Euclidian Jordan algebras

Let V be a Euclidean Jordan algebra, Гthe associated symmetric cone and G be the identity component of the linear automorphism group of Г.In this paper we associate to a certain class of spherical representations (ρ, ɛ) of G certain ɛ-valued Riesz distributions generalizing the classical scalar valued Riesz distributions on V. Our construction is motivated by the analytic theory of unitary highest weight representations where it permits to study certain holomorphic families of operator valued Riesz distributions whose positive definiteness corresponds to the unitarity of a representation of the automorphism group of the associated tube domain Г +iV.
