Application of coupling methods to the Neumann eigenvalue problem

Summary By using coupling methods, some lower bounds are obtained for the first Neumann eigenvalue on Riemannian manifolds. This method is new and the results improve some known estimates. An example shows that our estimates can be sharp.Research supported in part by the Foundation of Beijing Normal University     

Stability estimates for decompositions of the composition of Gaussian and Poisson distributions

Stability estimates are obtained for decompositions of the composition of Gaussian and Poisson distribution functions which are sharp in the sense of order in the uniform metric; also obtained are two-sided stability estimates of decompositions of these distribution functions in the Levi metric, which are in some sense close to the sharp ones.Translated from Zapiski Nauchnykh Seminarov Leningradskogo Otdeleniya Matematicheskogo Instituta im.

Eigenvalue estimate on complete noncompact Riemannian manifolds and applications

We obtain some sharp estimates on the first eigenvalues of complete noncompact Riemannian manifolds under assumptions of volume growth. Using these estimates we study hypersurfaces with constant mean curvature and give some estimates on the mean curvatures.

     

Weighted isoperimetric inequalities in warped product manifolds

We prove some sharp isoperimetric type inequalities in warped product manifolds, or more generally, multiply warped product manifolds. We also relate them to inequalities involving the higher order mean-curvature integrals. Applications include some sharp eigenvalue estimates, Pólya-Szegö inequality, Faber-Krahn inequality, Sobolev inequality and some sharp geometric inequalities in some warped product spaces.     

Sharp bounds for fractional one-sided operators

In this paper,we characterize the sharp boundedness of the one-sided fractional maximal function for one-weight and two-weight inequalities.Also a new two-weight testing condition for the one-sided fractional maximal function is introduced extending the work of Martín-Reyes and de la Torre.Improving some extrapolation result for the one-sided case,we get weak sharp bounded estimates for one-sided fractional maximal function and weak and strong sharp bounded estimates for one-sided fractional integral.

Sharp three sphere inequality for perturbations of a product of two second order elliptic operators and stability for the Cauchy problem for the anisotropic plate equation

We prove a sharp three sphere inequality for solutions to third order perturbations of a product of two second order elliptic operators with real coefficients. Then we derive various kinds of quantitative estimates of unique continuation for the anisotropic plate equation. Among these, we prove a stability estimate for the Cauchy problem for such an equation and we illustrate some applications to the size estimates of an unknown inclusion made of different material that might be present in the plate. The paper is self-contained and the Carleman estimate, from which the sharp three sphere inequality is derived, is proved in an elementary and direct way based on standard integration by parts.     

Estimates of the first Dirichlet eigenvalue by using diffusion processes

Summary In this note, we adopt a probabilistic method for estimating the first Dirichlet eigenvalue. The results improve or contain some known ones, especially for large dimension. Moreover, our estimates are sharp for some typical cases.Research supported in part by NSFC and the State Education Commission of China

Gradient estimates below the duality exponent

We show sharp local a priori estimates and regularity results for possibly degenerate non-linear elliptic problems, with data not lying in the natural dual space. We provide a precise non-linear potential theoretic analog of classical potential theory results due to Adams (Duke Math J 42:765–778, 1975) and Adams and Lewis (Studia Math 74:169–182, 1982), concerning Morrey spaces imbedding/regularity properties. For this we introduce a technique allowing for a “non-local representation” of solutions via Riesz potentials, in turn yielding optimal local estimates simultaneously in both rearrangement and non-rearrangement invariant function spaces. In fact we also derive sharp estimates in Lorentz spaces, covering borderline cases which remained open for some while.     

Two-sided estimates for constants in the Marcinkiewicz inequalities

For symmetric independent random values, sharp estimates for constants in the Marcinkiewicz inequalities are derived. Estimates of the left-hand and right-hand constants are roughly equivalent. Similar estimates for selfnormalized sums and new comparative estimates of increasing for some symmetric polynomial are derived as well. Bibliography: 14 titles.

General estimate of the first eigenvalue on manifolds

Ten sharp lower estimates of the first non-trivial eigenvalue of Laplacian on compact Riemannian manifolds are reviewed and compared. An improved variational formula, a general common estimate, and a new sharp one are added. The best lower estimates are now updated. The new estimates provide a global picture of what one can expect by our approach.

Uniformly locally univalent harmonic mappings associated with the pre-Schwarzian norm

In this paper, we consider the class of uniformly locally univalent harmonic mappings in the unit disk and build a relationship between its pre-Schwarzian norm and uniformly hyperbolic radius. Also, we establish eight ways of characterizing uniformly locally univalent sense-preserving harmonic mappings. We also present some sharp distortions and growth estimates and investigate their connections with Hardy spaces. Finally, we study subordination principles of norm estimates.     

Sharp inequalities for approximations of convolution classes on the real line as the limit case of inequalities for periodic convolutions

We establish sharp estimates for the best approximations of convolution classes by entire functions of exponential type. To obtain these estimates, we propose a new method for testing Nikol’ski?-type conditions which is based on kernel periodization with an arbitrarily large period and ensuing passage to the limit. As particular cases, we obtain sharp estimates for approximation of convolution classes with variation diminishing kernels and generalized Bernoulli and Poisson kernels.     

Convexity estimates for the solutions of a class of semi-linear elliptic equations

In this paper, we are concerned with convexity estimates for solutions of a class of semi-linear elliptic equations involving the Laplacian with power-type nonlinearities. We consider auxiliary curvature functions which attain their minimum values on the boundary and then establish lower bound convexity estimates for the solutions. Then we give two applications of these convexity estimates. We use the deformation method to prove a theorem concerning the strictly power concavity properties of the smooth solutions to these semi-linear elliptic equations. Finally, we give a sharp lower bound estimate of the Gaussian curvature for the solution surface of some specific equation by the curvatures of the domain's boundary.
