Solvability of inhomogeneous boundary-value problems for fourth-order differential equations

We consider a Cauchy-type boundary-value problem, a problem with three boundary conditions, and the Dirichlet problem for a general typeless fourth-order differential equation with constant complex coefficients and nonzero right-hand side in a bounded domain Ω ⊂ R ² with smooth boundary. By the method of the Green formula, the theory of extensions of differential operators, and the theory of L-traces (i.e., traces associated with the differential operation L), we establish necessary and sufficient (for elliptic operators) conditions of the solvability of each of these problems in the space H ^m (Ω), m ≥ 4.     

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 Compact Solvability of Differentials of an Elliptic Differential Complex

We find sufficient conditions for compact solvability of differentials of an elliptic differential complex on a noncompact Riemannian manifold. As the main example we consider the de Rham complex of differential forms on a manifold with cylindrical ends.     

Smooth Compactly Supported Solutions of Some Underdetermined Elliptic PDE,with Gluing Applications

We give sufficient conditions for some underdetermined elliptic PDE of any order to construct smooth compactly supported solutions. In particular we show that two smooth elements in the kernel of certain underdetermined linear elliptic operators P can be glued in a chosen region in order to obtain a new smooth solution. This new solution is exactly equal to the initial elements outside the gluing region. This result completely contrasts with the usual unique continuation for determined or overdetermined elliptic operators. As a corollary we obtain compactly supported solutions in the kernel of P and also solutions vanishing in a chosen relatively compact open region. We apply the result for natural geometric and physics contexts such as divergence free fields or TT-tensors.     

Normal solvability and the noetherictty of elliptic operators in spaces of functions on Rn,part I

One considers differential operators, elliptic in the Petrovskii sense, whose coefficients are defined and bounded in the entire space ⁿ. One finds necessary and sufficient conditions for their Noethericity and normal solvability with a finite-dimensional kernel in Holder spaces.Translated from Zapiski Nauchnykh Seminarov Leningradskogo Otdeleniya Matematicheskogo Instituta im.

Global solvability for first order real linear partial differential operators

F. Treves, in [17], using a notion of convexity of sets with respect to operators due to B. Malgrange and a theorem of C. Harvey, characterized globally solvable linear partial differential operators on C^∞(X), for an open subset X of Rn.Let P=L+c be a linear partial differential operator with real coefficients on a C^∞ manifold X, where L is a vector field and c is a function. If L has no critical points, J. Duistermaat and L. Hörmander, in [2], proved five equivalent conditions for global solvability of P on C^∞(X).Based on Harvey-Treves's result we prove sufficient conditions for the global solvability of P on C^∞(X), in the spirit of geometrical Duistermaat-Hörmander's characterizations, when L is zero at precisely one point. For this case, additional non-resonance type conditions on the value of c at the equilibrium point are necessary.     

Maximum Principles for Boundary-Degenerate Second Order Linear Elliptic Differential Operators

We prove weak and strong maximum principles, including a Hopf lemma, for C ² subsolutions to equations defined by linear, second-order, linear, elliptic partial differential operators whose principal symbols vanish along a portion of the domain boundary. The boundary regularity property of the C ² subsolutions along this boundary vanishing locus ensures that these maximum principles hold irrespective of the sign of the Fichera function. Boundary conditions need only be prescribed on the complement in the domain boundary of the principal symbol's vanishing locus. We obtain uniqueness and a priori maximum principle estimates for C ² solutions to boundary value and obstacle problems defined by these boundary-degenerate elliptic operators with partial Dirichlet or Neumann boundary conditions. We also prove weak maximum principles and uniqueness for W ^{1, 2} solutions to the corresponding variational equations and inequalities defined with the aide of weighted Sobolev spaces. The domain is allowed to be unbounded when the operator coefficients and solutions obey certain growth conditions.

Finite energy solutions of self‐adjoint elliptic mixed boundary value problems

This paper describes existence, uniqueness and special eigenfunction representations of H¹‐solutions of second order, self‐adjoint, elliptic equations with both interior and boundary source terms. The equations are posed on bounded regions with Dirichlet conditions on part of the boundary and Neumann conditions on the complement. The system is decomposed into separate problems defined on orthogonal subspaces of H¹(Ω). One problem involves the equation with the interior source term and the Neumann data. The other problem just involves the homogeneous equation with Dirichlet data. Spectral representations of the solution operators for each of these problems are found. The solutions are described using bases that are, respectively, eigenfunctions of the differential operator with mixed null boundary conditions, and certain mixed Steklov eigenfunctions. These series converge strongly in H¹(Ω). Necessary and sufficient conditions for the Dirichlet part of the boundary data to have a finite energy extension are described. The solutions for a problem that models a cylindrical capacitor is found explicitly. Copyright © 2009 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

M ‐elliptic pseudo‐differential operators on L p (ℝn )

We construct the minimal and maximal extensions in L ^p (?ⁿ ), 1 < p < ∞, for M ‐elliptic pseudo‐differential operators initiated by Garello and Morando. We prove that they are equal and determine the domains of the minimal, and hence maximal, extensions of M ‐elliptic pseudo‐differential operators. For M ‐elliptic pseudodifferential operators with constant coefficients, the spectra and essential spectra are computed. An application to quantization is given. (© 2006 WILEY‐VCH Verlag GmbH & Co.

B-evolutions and sobolev equations

We apply the results on B-evolutions as developed by Sauer to the Sobolev equation ?^t:(Mu)+Lu=0 with initial condition Mu∣_{t = 0} = y and homogeneous boundaryconditions. M and L are uniformly strongly elliptic differential operators. Results on admissible initial conditions for strong solutions are obtained and compared to those of Fichera and Showalter.     

Regular boundary value problems for complete second order elliptic differential-operator equations in UMD Banach spaces

We consider coerciveness and Fredholmness of nonlocal boundary value problems for complete second order elliptic differential-operator equations in UMD Banach spaces. In some special cases, the main coefficients of the boundary conditions may be bounded operators and not only complex numbers. Then, we prove an isomorphism, in particular, maximal L _p -regularity, of the problem with a linear parameter in the equation. In both cases, the boundary conditions may also contain unbounded operators in perturbation terms. Finally, application to regular nonlocal boundary value problems for elliptic equations of the second order in non-smooth domains are presented. Equations and boundary conditions may contain differential-integral parts. The spaces of solvability are Sobolev type spaces W _p,q ^2,2. The first author is a member of G.N.A.M.P.A. and the paper fits the 60% research program of G.N.A.M.P.A.-I.N.D.A.M.; The third author was supported by the Israel Ministry of Absorption.     

On the Compactness Theorem for Differential Forms

Kichenassamy found conditions under which the space W _p ^k of differential forms on a closed manifold M embeds compactly in the space F _p ^k of currents on M. We give a version of Kichenassamy's theorem for an arbitrary Banach complex and, in particular, for an elliptic differential complex on a closed manifold.     

On the global solvability in Gevrey classes on the n-dimensional torus

Let P be a linear partial differential operator with coefficients in the Gevrey class G^s(Tⁿ), where Tⁿ is the n-dimensional torus and s?1. We prove a necessary condition for the s-global solvability of P on Tⁿ. We also apply this result to give a complete characterization for the s-global solvability for a class of formally self-adjoint operators with nonconstant coefficients.     

Gevrey vectors of multi-quasi-elliptic systems

We show that the multi-quasi-ellipticity is a necessary and sufficient condition for the property of elliptic iterates to hold for multi-quasi-homogenous differential operators.

Existence of solutions for some non‐Fredholm integro‐differential equations with the bi‐Laplacian

We prove the existence of solutions for some semilinear elliptic equations in the appropriate H⁴ spaces using the fixed‐point technique where the elliptic equation contains fourth‐order differential operators with and without Fredholm property, generalizing the previous results.     

Local solvability for semilinear Fuchsian equations

We consider a semilinear elliptic operator P on a manifold B with a conical singular point. We assume P is Fuchs type in the linear part and has a non–linear lower order therms. Using the Schauder fixed point theorem, we prove the local solvability of P near the conical point in the weighted Sobolev spaces.     

Necessary and sufficient conditions for discrete and differential inclusions of elliptic type

This paper deals for the first time with the Dirichlet problem for discrete (PD), discrete approximation problem on a uniform grid and differential (PC) inclusions of elliptic type. In the form of Euler-Lagrange inclusion necessary and sufficient conditions for optimality are derived for the problems under consideration on the basis of new concepts of locally adjoint mappings. The results obtained are generalized to the multidimensional case with a second order elliptic operator.
