ON A HYPER HILBERT TRANSFORM＊＊＊＊

The authors define the directional hyper Hilbert transform and give ita mixed norm estimate. The similar conclusions for the directional fractional integral of one dimension are also obtained in this paper. As an application of the above results, the authors give the Lp-boundedness for a class of the hyper singular integrals and the fractional integrals with variable kernel. Moreover, as another application of the above results, the authors prove the dimension free estimate for the hyper Riesz transform. This is an extension of the related result obtained by Stein.     

Quantitative Stability of the Brunn-Minkowski Inequality for Sets of Equal Volume

The authors prove a quantitative stability result for the Brunn-Minkowski inequality on sets of equal volume:If |A| =|B| ＞ 0 and |A + B|1/n =(2 + δ)|A|1/n for some small δ,then,up to a translation,both A and B are close (in terms of δ) to a convex set K.Although this result was already proved by the authors in a previous paper,the present paper provides a more elementary proof that the authors believe has its own interest.Also,the result here provides a stronger estimate for the stability exponent than the previous result of the authors.     

Homogenization of Elliptic Problems with Neumann Boundary Conditions in Non-smooth Domains

We consider a family of second-order elliptic operators {L_ε} in divergence form with rapidly oscillating and periodic coefficients in Lipschitz and convex domains in R~n. We are able to show that the uniform W~(1,p) estimate of second order elliptic systems holds for 2n/(n+1)-δ p 2n/(n-1)+ δ where δ 0 is independent of ε and the ranges are sharp for n = 2, 3. And for elliptic equations in Lipschitz domains, the W~(1,p) estimate is true for 3/2-δ p 3 + δ if n ≥ 4, similar estimate was extended to convex domains for 1 p ∞.     

Carleman Estimates for Parabolic Equations with Nonhomogeneous Boundary Conditions

The authors prove a new Carleman estimate for general linear second order parabolic equation with nonhomogeneous boundary conditions. On the basis of this estimate, improved Carleman estimates for the Stokes system and for a system of parabolic equations with a penalty term are obtained. This system can be viewed as an approximation of the Stokes system.     

Quantitative Stability of the Brunn-Minkowski Inequality for Sets of Equal Volume(Dedicated to Professor Haim Brezis on the occasion of his 70th birthday)

The authors prove a quantitative stability result for the Brunn-Minkowski inequality on sets of equal volume: If |A| = |B| 0 and |A + B|~(1/n) =(2 + δ)|A|~(1/n) for some small δ, then, up to a translation, both A and B are close(in terms of δ) to a convex set K.Although this result was already proved by the authors in a previous paper, the present paper provides a more elementary proof that the authors believe has its own interest. Also,the result here provides a stronger estimate for the stability exponent than the previous result of the authors.     

CRITICAL EXTINCTION EXPONENTS FOR POLYTROPIC FILTRATION EQUATIONS WITH NONLOCAL SOURCE AND ABSORPTION

In this article,by applying the super-solution and sub-solution methods,instead of energy estimate methods,the authors investigate the critical extinction exponents for a polytropic filtration equation with a nonlocal source and an absorption term,and give a classification of the exponents and coefficients for the solutions to vanish in finite time or not,which improve one of our results(Applicable Analysis,92(2013),636-650) and the results of Zheng et al(Math.Meth.Appl.Sci.,36(2013),730-743).     

THE KACANOV METHOD FOR A NONLINEAR VARIATIONAL INEQUALITY OF THE SECOND KIND ARISING IN ELASTOPLASTICITY

The authors first prove a convergence result on the Ka(?)anov method for solving generalnonlinear variational inequalities of the second kind and then apply the Kacanov method tosolve a nonlinear variational inequality of the second kind arising in elastoplasticity. In additionto the convergence result, an a posteriori error estimate is shown for the Kacanov iterates. Ineach step of the Ka(?)anov iteration, one has a (linear) variational inequality of the secondkind, which can be solved by using a regularization technique. The Ka(?)anov iteration andthe regularization technique together provide approximations which can be readily computednumerically. An a posteriori error estimate is derived for the combined effect of the Ka(?)anoviteration and the regularization.     

Proper Submanifolds in Product Manifolds

The authors obtain various versions of the Omori-Yau's maximum principle on complete properly immersed submanifolds with controlled mean curvature in certain product manifolds,in complete Riemannian manifolds whose k-Ricci curvature has strong quadratic decay,and also obtain a maximum principle for mean curvature flow of complete manifolds with bounded mean curvature.Using the generalized maximum principle,an estimate on the mean curvature of properly immersed submanifolds with bounded projection in N1 in the product manifold N1 ×N2 is given.Other applications of the generalized maximum principle are also given.     

Stability of Inverse Problems for Ultrahyperbolic Equations

In this paper, the authors consider inverse problems of determining a coefficient or a source term in an ultrahyperbolic equation by some lateral boundary data. The authors prove Hlder estimates which are global and local and the key tool is Carleman estimate.     

Recovering of Damping Coefficients for a System of Coupled Wave Equations with Neumann Boundary Conditions: Uniqueness and Stability

The authors study the inverse problem of recovering damping coefficients for two coupled hyperbolic PDEs with Neumann boundary conditions by means of an additional measurement of Dirichlet boundary traces of the two solutions on a suitable, explicit subportion Γ1 of the boundary Γ, and over a computable time interval T > 0. Under sharp conditions on Γ0 = ΓnΓ1, T > 0, the uniqueness and stability of the damping coefficients are established. The proof uses critically the Carleman estimate due to Lasiecka et al. in 2000, together with a convenient tactical route “post-Carleman estimates” suggested by Isakov in 2006.

Homogenization of a parabolic equation in perforated domain with Dirichlet boundary condition

In this article, we study the homogenization of the family of parabolic equations over periodically perforated domains . Here, Ω_ɛ = ΩS _ε is a periodically perforated domain andd _ε is a sequence of positive numbers which goes to zero. We obtain the homogenized equation. The homogenization of the equations on a fixed domain and also the case of perforated domain with Neumann boundary condition was studied by the authors. The homogenization for a fixed domain and has been done by Jian. We also obtain certain corrector results to improve the weak convergence.
