The Asymptotics of the Heat Semigroup for a General Bounded Domain with Mixed Boundary Conditions

Abstract Small-time asymptotics of the trace of the heat semigroup where {μ _ν } are the eigenvalues of the negative Laplacian in the (x ¹, x ²)-plane, is studied for a general bunded domain Ω with a smooth boundary ∂Ω, where a finite number of Dirichlet, Neumann and Robin boundary conditions, on the piecewise smooth parts Γ _i (i = 1, ..., n) of ∂Ω such that , are considered. Some geometrical properties associated with Ω are determined.

The authors consider the problem: -div(p▽u) = uq-1 λu, u > 0 inΩ, u = 0 on (?)Ω, whereΩis a bounded domain in Rn, n≥3, p :Ω→R is a given positive weight such that p∈H1 (Ω)∩C(Ω),λis a real constant and q = 2n/n-2, and study the effect of the behavior of p near its minima and the impact of the geometry of domain on the existence of solutions for the above problem.     

Some remarks on the identity between a variational integral and its relaxed functional

Summary Letf: (x, z)∈R ⁿ×Rⁿ→f(x, z)∈[0, +∞] be measurable inx and convex inz.

A Robin boundary problem with Hardy potential and critical nonlinearities

Let Ω be a bounded domain with a smooth C ² boundary in ℝⁿ (n ≥ 3), 0 ∈ , and υ denote the unit outward normal to ∂Ω. In this paper, we are concerned with the following class of boundary value problems:

Sharp estimates for\bar \partial on convex domains of finite typeon convex domains of finite type

Let Ω be a bounded convex domain in C _n , with smooth boundary of finite typem. The equation is solved in Ω with sharp estimates: iff has bounded coefficients, the coefficients of our solutionu are in the Lipschitz space Λ. Optimal estimates are also given when data have coefficients belonging toL ^p(Ω),p≥1. We solve the -equation by means of integral operators whose kernels are not based on the choice of a “good” support function. Weighted kernels are used; in order to reflect the geometry ofbΩ, we introduce a weight expressed in terms of the Bergman kernel of Ω.     

Multigrid methods for the computation of singular solutions and stress intensity factors II: Crack singularities

We consider the Poisson equation −Δu=f with homogeneous Dirichlet boundary condition on a two-dimensional polygonal domain Ω with cracks. Multigrid methods for the computation of singular solutions and stress intensity factors using piecewise linear functions are analyzed. The convergence rate for the stress intensity factors is whenfεL ²(Ω) and whenfεH ¹(Ω). The convergence rate in the energy norm is in the first case and in the second case. The costs of these multigrid methods are proportional to the number of elements in the triangulation. The general case wherefεH ^m (Ω) is also discussed.

Remarks on the local regularity of the\overline \partial

Summary Let Ω⊂⊂C ⁿ be a pseudo-convex domain with smooth real-analytic boundarybΩ; the local regularity in of the is then strictly related not only with the subellipticity of such problem, but also with certain geometric conditions onbΩ: ifn=2 and α is a (0,1)-form, such relations are equivalences.

Asymptotic behaviour of the phase in non-smooth obstacle scattering

In this paper, we study the asymptotic behaviour of the scattering phases(λ) of the Dirichlet Laplacian associated with obstacle , where Ω is a bounded open subset of ℝ ⁿ (n≥2) with non-smooth boundary ∂Ω and connected complement Ω _e =ℝ ⁿ . We can prove that if Ω satisfies a certain geometrical condition, then

Localization type Berezin-Toeplitz

Let II be a bounded symmetric domain, ω ⇉ I a bounded subdomain, and let denote the weighted Bergman space of holomorphic square integrable functions on I.

Commutators of integral operators with variable kernels on Hardy spaces

LetT _Ω,α (0 ≤ α< n) be the singular and fractional integrals with variable kernel Ω(x, z), and [b, T_Ω,α] be the commutator generated by T_Ω,α and a Lipschitz functionb. In this paper, the authors study the boundedness of [b, T_Ω,α] on the Hardy spaces, under some assumptions such as theL ^r -Dini condition. Similar results and the weak type estimates at the end-point cases are also given for the homogeneous convolution operators . The smoothness conditions imposed on are weaker than the corresponding known results.     

Concentration and influences

Consider the discrete cube Ω={0,1} ^N , provided with the uniform probabilityP. We denote byd(x, A) the Hamming distance of a pointx of Ω and a subsetA of Ω. We define the influenceI(A) of theith coordinate onA as follows. Forx in Ω, consider the pointT _i (x) obtained by changing the value of theith coordinate. Then We prove that we always have Since it is easy to see that , this recovers the well known fact that ∫_Ω d(x, A)dP(x) is at most of order whenP(A)≥1/2. The new information is that ∫_Ω d(x, A)dP(x) can be of order only ifA reassembles the Hamming ball {x; ∑_1≤N x _i ≥N/2}.

We consider the Neumann eigenvalue problem for the Laplace operator in the open subset (Ω) of , where is a Lipschitz continuous homeomorphism of Ω onto (Ω). Then we prove a result of real analytic dependence for symmetric functions of the eigenvalues upon variation of . This paper represents an extension of a part of the work performed by P.D. Lamberti in his PhD Thesis at the University of Padova under the guidance of M. Lanza de Cristoforis.

The conformal radius as a function and its gradient image

Let Ω be a domain in with three or more boundary points in andR(w, Ω) the conformal, resp. hyperbolic radius of Ω at the pointw ε Ω/{∞}. We give a unified proof and some generalizations of a number of known theorems that are concerned with the geometry of the surface in the case that the Jacobian of ∇R(w, Ω), the gradient ofR, is nonegative on Ω. We discuss the function ∇R(w, Ω) in some detail, since it plays a central role in our considerations. In particular, we prove that ∇R(w, Ω) is a diffeomorphism of Ω for four different types of domains. This work was supported by a grant of the Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft for F. G.
