Global s-solvability, global s-hypoellipticity and Diophantine phenomena

In this paper we consider the problem of global Gevrey solvability for a class of sublaplacians on a toruswith coefficients in the Gevrey class Gs(TN). For this class of operators we show that global Gevrey solvability and global Gevrey hypoellipticity are both equivalent to the condition that the coefficients satisfy a Diophantine condition.     

Global Solvability and Simultaneously Approximable Vectors

Local Solvability Of First Order Differential Operators Near A Critical Point,Operators With Quadratic Symbols And The Heisenberg Group

We study questions of solvability for operators of the form p(x,D)+b, where p(x,ξ) is a real quadratic form and b?C. As one consequence, we obtain a necessary and sufficient condition for the local solvability of operators of the form L= near the critical point x=0, and prove the existence of tempered fundamental solutions whenever L is locally solvable.Our analysis of these operators is largely based on recent results about the solvabilitiy of left–invariant second order differential operators on the Heisenberg group and a transference principle for the Schrödinger representation.

On global hypoellipticity of degenerate elliptic operators

We consider a class of degenerate elliptic operators on a torus and prove that global hypoellipticity is equivalent to an algebraic condition involving Liouville vectors and simultaneous approximability. For another class of operators we show that the zero order term may influence global hypoellipticity. Received August 13, 1997     

Solvability of a periodic boundary-value problem for systems of functional differential equations with cyclic matrices

We consider first-order systems of linear functional differential equations with regular operators. For families of systems of two equations we obtain the general necessary and sufficient conditions for the unique solvability of a periodic boundary-value problem. For families of systems of n linear functional differential equations with cyclic matrices we obtain effective necessary and sufficient conditions for the unique solvability of a periodic boundary-value problem.     

On estimates for solutions of elliptic boundary value problems in a layer

We consider boundary value problems for elliptic operators with constant coefficients in a layer, i.e., in a domain between two parallel planes. We assume that the Lopatinskii condition and the condition of the unique solvability of an auxiliary problem for an ordinary differential operator are satisfied. We prove theorems on the solvability and smoothness of solutions in Sobolev spaces with weight of exponential type.

Normal solvability of linear elliptic problemsRésolubilité normale des problèmes elliptiques linéaires

The paper is devoted to general linear elliptic problems in Hölder spaces. We consider unbounded domains and define limiting problems at infinity. We give a necessary and sufficient condition of normal solvability through uniqueness of solutions of limiting problems. We study a structure of spaces dual to Hölder spaces and specify the subspace of functionals, which provide the condition of normal solvability. This allows us to prove that for Fredholm operators all limiting operators are invertible. To cite this article: V. Volpert, A. Volpert, C. R. Acad. Sci. Paris, Ser. I 334 (2002) 457–462.     

Solvability of a nonlocal problem for a loaded parabolic-hyperbolic equation

For a mixed-type equation we study a problem with generalized fractional integrodifferentiation operators in the boundary condition. We prove its unique solvability under inequality-type conditions imposed on the known functions for various orders of fractional integrodifferentiation operators. We prove the existence of a solution to the problem by reducing the latter to a fractional differential equation.     

Correct solvability of Solonnikov–Eidel’man parabolic initial-value problems

We consider initial-value problems for a new class of systems of equations that combine the structures of Solonnikov parabolic systems and Eidel’man parabolic systems. We prove a theorem on the correct solvability of these problems in H?lder spaces of rapidly increasing functions and obtain an estimate for the norms of solutions via the corresponding norms of the right-hand sides of the problem. For the correctness of this estimate, the condition of the parabolicity of the system is not only sufficient but also necessary.     

Solvability of nonlinear integral equations and surjectivity of nonlinear Markov operators

In the present paper, we consider integral equations, which are associated with nonlinear Markov operators acting on an infinite-dimensional space. The solvability of these equations is examined by investigating nonlinear Markov operators. Notions of orthogonal preserving and surjective nonlinear Markov operators defined on infinite dimension are introduced, and their relations are studied, which will be used to prove the main results. We show that orthogonal preserving nonlinear Markov operators are not necessarily satisfied surjective property (unlike finite case). Thus, sufficient conditions for the operators to be surjective are described. Using these notions and results, we prove the solvability of Hammerstein equations in terms of surjective nonlinear Markov operators.     

The Cauchy Problem for Shilov Parabolic Equations

We establish well-posed solvability of the Cauchy problem for the Shilov parabolic equations with time-dependent coefficients whose initial data are tempered distributions. For a certain class of equations we state necessary and sufficient conditions for unique solvability of the Cauchy problem whose properties with respect to the spatial variable are typical for a fundamental solution. The results are characterized only by the order and the parabolicity exponent.     

The Cauchy problem for the dissipative Boussinesq equation

This work is devoted to the solvability and finite time blow-up of solutions of the Cauchy problem for the dissipative Boussinesq equation in all space dimension. We prove the existence and uniqueness of local mild solutions in the phase space by means of the contraction mapping principle. By establishing the time-space estimates of the corresponding Green operators, we obtain the continuation principle. Under some restriction on the initial data, we further study the results on existence and uniqueness of global solutions and finite time blow-up of solutions with the initial energy at three different level. Moreover, the sufficient and necessary conditions of finite time blow-up of solutions are given.     

Oblique derivative problem for nonlinear elliptic discontinuous operators in the plane with quadratic growth

Our aim is to study the oblique derivative problem for a class of nonlinear differential operators in the plane with quadratic growth. We assume the discontinuous operators to satisfy Carathéodory's condition and a suitable ellipticity condition. Under some geometrical conditions we prove strong solvability of the problem under consideration. The main tool in the proof is Leray-Schauder fixed point theorem, that reduces the solvability of the problem to the establishment of a priori estimate, by means of a step by step procedure.     

Quasielliptic operators and Sobolev type equations

We consider a class of matrix quasielliptic operators on the n-dimensional space. For these operators, we establish the isomorphism properties in some special scales of weighted Sobolev spaces. Basing on these properties, we prove the unique solvability of the initial value problem for a class of Sobolev type equations.     

On the reconstruction of a convolution perturbation of the Sturm-Liouville operator from the spectrum

We consider the sum of the Sturm-Liouville operator and a convolution operator. We study the inverse problem of reconstructing the convolution operator from the spectrum. This problem is reduced to a nonlinear integral equation with a singularity. We prove the global solvability of this nonlinear equation, which permits one to show that the asymptotics of the spectrum is a necessary and sufficient condition for the solvability of the inverse problem. The proof is constructive.     

A study of a numerical algorithm for a nonlinear transport model

For a nonlinear transport model, we propose a simple and economical two-step algorithm that decreases the dimension of the system of nonlinear equations, as compared with implicit difference schemes. We prove theorems on necessary conditions for stability with respect to the initial data for the nonlinear problem and theorems on sufficient conditions for stability in the case of the linearized model. We also obtain theorems on approximation of the integral conservation law on a grid. The necessary condition obtained is a condition on the coefficients of the differential equation (which singles out an admissible class of equations) but not a condition on the ratio of the grid steps.

Invertibility of Bergman Toeplitz operators with harmonic polynomial symbols

Let p be an analytic polynomial on the unit disk. We obtain a necessary and sufficient condition for Toeplitz operators with the symbol z + p to be invertible on the Bergman space when all coefficients of p are real numbers. Furthermore, we establish several necessary and sufficient, easy-to-check conditions for Toeplitz operators with the symbol z + p to be invertible on the Bergman space when some coefficients of p are complex numbers.     

Regularity and solvability of linear differential operators in Gevrey spaces

We are interested in the following question: when regularity properties of a linear differential operator imply solvability of its transpose in the sense of Gevrey ultradistributions? This question is studied for a class of abstract operators that contains the usual differential operators with real‐analytic coefficients. We obtain a new proof of a global result on compact manifolds (global Gevrey hypoellipticity implying global solvability of the transpose), as well as some results in the non‐compact case by means of the so‐called property of non‐confinement of singularities. We provide applications to Hörmander operators, to operators of constant strength and to locally integrable systems of vector fields. We also analyze a conjecture stated in a recent paper of Malaspina and Nicola, which asserts that, in differential complexes naturally arising from locally integrable structures, local solvability in the sense of ultradistributions implies local solvability in the sense of distributions. We establish the validity of the conjecture when the cotangent structure bundle is spanned by the differential of a single first integral.
