Averaging for partial differential equations whose coefficients are perturbed by jump-like Markov processes

Weak convergence in the sense of distributions of the solutions of parabolic-type partial differential equations with periodic rapidly oscillating coefficients perturbed by jump-like Markov processes that function in rapid time with finite state set is considered. The weak compactness of the measures generated by the solutions of the equations is proved and the weak convergence to a unique solution of the Martingale problem that satisfies a stochastic partial differential equation is demonstrated.Translated from Ukrainskii Matematicheskii Zhurnal, Vol. 44, No. 10, pp. 1367–1375, October, 1992.     

Weak compactness in

We characterize weak compactness and weak conditional compactness of subsets of in terms of regular methods of summability. We also study when these results still hold using only convergence in the sense of Cesàro.

The relationship betweenweak compactness and compactness of these composition operatorsand general homomorphisms is also discussed. 2000 MathematicsSubject Classification 46J15 (primary), 46E15, 46G20 (secondary).     

Measures of weak noncompactness in Banach spaces

Measures of weak noncompactness are formulae that quantify different characterizations of weak compactness in Banach spaces: we deal here with De Blasi's measure ω and the measure of double limits γ inspired by Grothendieck's characterization of weak compactness. Moreover for bounded sets H of a Banach space E we consider the worst distance k(H) of the weak^∗-closure in the bidual of H to E and the worst distance ck(H) of the sets of weak^∗-cluster points in the bidual of sequences in H to E. We prove the inequalities

     

Global Existence and Asymptotic Limits of Weak Solutions of the Bipolar Hydrodynamic Model for Semiconductors

For the case of the adiabatic exponents being larger than , we establish the global existence of entropy weak solutions of the Cauchy problem to the bipolar hydrodynamic model for semiconductors. Using the theory of compensated compactness, we hence give finally a complete answer on the related existence problems with the -law pressure relation. A new kind of singular limit of the modified entropy weak solution is discussed. To some extent, the limit of this sort can provide some information about the uniform boundedness of the scaled solution sequences. The quasineutral-relaxation limit of the entropy weak solutions is also investigated.     

A note about Volterra operators on weighted Banach spaces of entire functions

We characterize boundedness, compactness and weak compactness of Volterra operators acting between different weighted Banach spaces of entire functions with sup‐norms in terms of the symbol g; thus we complement recent work by Bassallote, Contreras, Hernández‐Mancera, Martín and Paul 3 for spaces of holomorphic functions on the disc and by Constantin and Peláez 16 for reflexive weighted Fock spaces.     

On a Laplace Transform Based Metric for Probabilities on a Hilbert Space

Let D be a closed subset of a real separable Hilbert space H. Let (D) denote the set of all Borel probability measures on D and (D) the set of all probabilities with integrable Laplace transform. A metric d, based on the Laplace transform, is defined on (D). Topological properties, viz., separability, connectedness, completeness, compactness and local compactness, of (D, d are investigated, and the d-topology is compared with the topology of weak convergence.     

Compact and weakly compact composition operators from the Bloch space into Möbius invariant spaces

We obtain exhaustive results and treat in a unified way the question of boundedness, compactness, and weak compactness of composition operators from the Bloch space into any space from a large family of conformally invariant spaces that includes the classical spaces like BMOA  , _Qα$Q_{\alpha }$, and analytic Besov spaces B^p$B^p$. In particular, by combining techniques from both complex and functional analysis, we prove that in this setting weak compactness is equivalent to compactness. For the operators into the corresponding “small” spaces we also characterize the boundedness and show that it is equivalent to compactness.     

Pullback Attractors of Nonautonomous and Stochastic Multivalued Dynamical Systems

In this paper we study the existence of pullback global attractors for multivalued processes generated by differential inclusions. First, we define multivalued dynamical processes, prove abstract results on the existence of -limit sets and global attractors, and study their topological properties (compactness, connectedness). Further, we apply the abstract results to nonautonomous differential inclusions of the reaction–diffusion type in which the forcing term can grow polynomially in time, and to stochastic differential inclusions as well.     

A weak Grothendieck compactness principle for Banach spaces with a symmetric basis

The Grothendieck compactness principle states that every norm compact subset of a Banach space is contained in the closed convex hull of a norm null sequence. In Dowling et al. (J Funct Anal 263(5):1378–1381, 2012), an analogue of the Grothendieck compactness principle for the weak topology was used to characterize Banach spaces with the Schur property. Using a different analogue of the Grothendieck compactness principle for the weak topology, a characterization of the Banach spaces with a symmetric basis that are not isomorphic to $\ell ^1$ and do not contain a subspace isomorphic to $c_0$ is given. As a corollary, it is shown that, in the Lorentz space $d(w,1)$ , every weakly compact set is contained in the closed convex hull of the rearrangement invariant hull of a norm null sequence.     

Compactness notions in fuzzy neighborhood spaces

In the class of fuzzy neighborhood spaces we demonstrate which implications hold and give counterexamples to the implications which do not hold between the notions of compactness, -compactness, strong compactness and ultra compactness.     

Nonlinear anisotropic parabolic equations in with locally integrable data

Our approach is based on the anisotropic Sobolev inequality, a smoothness, and compactness results. Copyright © 2012 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

Convergence of difference schemes with high resolution for conservation laws

We are concerned with the convergence of Lax-Wendroff type schemes with high resolution to the entropy solutions for conservation laws. These schemes include the original Lax-Wendroff scheme proposed by Lax and Wendroff in 1960 and its two step versions-the Richtmyer scheme and the MacCormack scheme. For the convex scalar conservation laws with algebraic growth flux functions, we prove the convergence of these schemes to the weak solutions satisfying appropriate entropy inequalities. The proof is based on detailed estimates of the approximate solutions, compactness estimates of the corresponding entropy dissipation measures, and some compensated compactness frameworks. Then these techniques are generalized to study the convergence problem for the nonconvex scalar case and the hyperbolic systems of conservation laws.

     

Analysis aspects of Willmore surfaces

A new formulation for the Euler–Lagrange equation of the Willmore functional for immersed surfaces in ℝ ^m is given as a nonlinear elliptic equation in divergence form, with non-linearities comprising only Jacobians. Letting be the mean curvature vector of the surface, our new formulation reads , where is a well-defined locally invertible self-adjoint elliptic operator. Several consequences are studied. In particular, the long standing open problem asking for a meaning to the Willmore Euler–Lagrange equation for immersions having only L ²-bounded second fundamental form is now solved. The regularity of weak Willmore immersions with L ²-bounded second fundamental form is also established. Its proof relies on the discovery of conservation laws which are preserved under weak convergence. A weak compactness result for Willmore surfaces with energy less than 8π (the Li–Yau condition ensuring the surface is embedded) is proved, via a point removability result established for Wilmore surfaces in ℝ ^m , thereby extending to arbitrary codimension the main result in [KS3]. Finally, from this point-removability result, the strong compactness of Willmore tori below the energy level 8π is proved both in dimension 3 (this had already been settled in [KS3]) and in dimension 4.     

Asymptotic behavior of the solutions to the damped compressible Euler equations with vacuum

The asymptotic behavior of solutions of the damped compressible Euler equations is conjectured to obey to the famous porous media equations (PMES). The previous works on this topic concern the case away from vacuum where the system is strictly hyperbolic. In present paper, we prove that the L^∞ entropy weak solution with vacuum, obtained by the compensated compactness theory, converges strongly in space to the unique similarity solution of the related PME, as time goes to infinity.     

Weak convergences of probability measures: A uniform principle

We consider a set of probability measures on a locally compact separable metric space. It is shown that a necessary and sufficient condition for (relative) sequential compactness of in various weak topologies (among which the vague, weak and setwise topologies) has the same simple form; i.e. a uniform principle has to hold in . We also extend this uniform principle to some Köthe function spaces.

     

Space of Ricci Flows I

In this paper, we study the moduli spaces of m‐dimensional, κ‐noncollapsed Ricci flow solutions with bounded $\int |Rm|^{{m}/{2}}$ and bounded scalar curvature. We show a weak compactness theorem for such moduli spaces and apply it to study the estimates of isoperimetric constants, the Kähler‐Ricci flows, and the moduli spaces of gradient shrinking solitons. © 2012 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.     

Convergence of the regularized short pulse equation to the short pulse one

We consider the regularized short‐pulse equation, which contains nonlinear dispersive effects. We prove that as the diffusion parameter tends to zero, the solutions of the dispersive equation converge to discontinuous weak solutions of the short‐pulse one. The proof relies on deriving suitable a priori estimates together with an application of the compensated compactness method in the setting.     

Orthogonalkompakte Teilmengen topologischer Vektorverbände

The criterion of Dunford-Pettis for weak compactness in Banach lattices of L¹() type can be derived from a characterisation of weak sequentially complete topological vector lattices. This can be done by introducing a concept which reduces to uniform integrability in the L¹() case ([1], [8]). In other cases suitable choice of the topology leads to definitions given by [4], [9], [11] and [12]. It is shown in this paper that the orthogonally compact subsets of a Banach lattice are characterized as those relatively weakly compact sets on which the norm and the order topology agree.
