Global classical solutions for reaction–diffusion systems with nonlinearities of exponential growth

The aim of this study is to prove global existence of classical solutions for systems of the form ${\frac{\partial u}{\partial t} -a \Delta u=-f(u,v)}The aim of this study is to prove global existence of classical solutions for systems of the form \frac?u?t -a Du=-f(u,v){\frac{\partial u}{\partial t} -a \Delta u=-f(u,v)} , \frac?v?t -b Dv=g(u,v){\frac{\partial v}{\partial t} -b \Delta v=g(u,v)} in (0, +∞) × Ω where Ω is an open bounded domain of class C ¹ in \mathbbRⁿ{\mathbb{R}^n}, a > 0, b > 0 and f, g are nonnegative continuously differentiable functions on [0, +∞) × [0, +∞) satisfying f (0, η) = 0, g(x,h) ￡ C j(x)e^ahb{g(\xi,\eta) \leq C \varphi(\xi)e^{\alpha {\eta^\beta}}} and g(ξ, η) ≤ ψ(η)f(ξ, η) for some constants C > 0, α > 0 and β ≥ 1 where j{\varphi} and ψ are any nonnegative continuously differentiable functions on [0, +∞) such that j(0)=0{\varphi(0)=0} and lim_{h? +￥}h^b-1y(h) = l{ \lim_{\eta \rightarrow +\infty}\eta^{\beta -1}\psi(\eta)= \ell} where ℓ is a nonnegative constant. The asymptotic behavior of the global solutions as t goes to +∞ is also studied. For this purpose, we use the appropriate techniques which are based on semigroups, energy estimates and Lyapunov functional methods.     

Inverse Scattering at Fixed Energy in de Sitter�CReissner�CNordstr?m Black Holes

In this paper, we consider massless Dirac fields propagating in the outer region of de Sitter–Reissner–Nordstr?m black holes. We show that the metric of such black holes is uniquely determined by the partial knowledge of the corresponding scattering matrix S(λ) at a fixed energy λ ≠ 0. More precisely, we consider the partial wave scattering matrices S(λ, n) (here λ ≠ 0 is the fixed energy and n ? \mathbbN^*{n \in \mathbb{N}^{*}} denotes the angular momentum) defined as the restrictions of the full scattering matrix on a well chosen basis of spin-weighted spherical harmonics. We prove that the mass M, the square of the charge Q ² and the cosmological constant Λ of a dS-RN black hole (and thus its metric) can be uniquely determined from the knowledge of either the transmission coefficients T(λ, n), or the reflexion coefficients R(λ, n) (resp. L(λ, n)), for all n ? L{n \in {\mathcal{L}}} where L{\mathcal{L}} is a subset of \mathbbN^*{\mathbb{N}^{*}} that satisfies the Müntz condition ?_{n ? L}\frac1n = +￥{\sum_{n \in{\mathcal{L}}}\frac{1}{n} = +\infty} . Our main tool consists in complexifying the angular momentum n and in studying the analytic properties of the “unphysical” scattering matrix S(λ, z) in the complex variable z. We show, in particular, that the quantities \frac1T(l,z){\frac{1}{T(\lambda,z)}}, \fracR(l,z)T(l,z){\frac{R(\lambda,z)}{T(\lambda,z)}} and \fracL(l,z)T(l,z){\frac{L(\lambda,z)}{T(\lambda,z)}} belong to the Nevanlinna class in the region ${\{z \in \mathbb{C}, Re(z) > 0 \}}${\{z \in \mathbb{C}, Re(z) > 0 \}} for which we have analytic uniqueness theorems at our disposal. Eventually, as a by-product of our method, we obtain reconstruction formulae for the surface gravities of the event and cosmological horizons of the black hole which have an important physical meaning in the Hawking effect.     

A Noncommutative Version of <Emphasis Type="Italic">H</Emphasis><Superscript><Emphasis Type="Italic">p</Emphasis></Superscript> and Characterizations of Subdiagonal Algebras

Let M{\mathcal M} be a σ-finite von Neumann algebra and \mathfrak A{\mathfrak A} a maximal subdiagonal algebra of M{\mathcal M} with respect to a faithful normal conditional expectation F{\Phi} . Based on Haagerup’s noncommutative L ^p space L^p(M){L^p(\mathcal M)} associated with M{\mathcal M} , we give a noncommutative version of H ^p space relative to \mathfrak A{\mathfrak A} . If h ₀ is the image of a faithful normal state j{\varphi} in L¹(M){L^1(\mathcal M)} such that j°F = j{\varphi\circ \Phi=\varphi} , then it is shown that the closure of {\mathfrak Ah₀^\frac1p}{\{\mathfrak Ah_0^{\frac1p}\}} in L^p(M){L^p(\mathcal M)} for 1 ≤ p < ∞ is independent of the choice of the state preserving F{\Phi} . Moreover, several characterizations for a subalgebra of the von Neumann algebra M{\mathcal M} to be a maximal subdiagonal algebra are given.

Smooth Universal Taylor Series

Let W í \Bbb C\Omega \subseteq {\Bbb C} be a simply connected domain in \Bbb C{\Bbb C} , such that {￥} è[ \Bbb C \[`(W)]]\{\infty\} \cup [ {\Bbb C} \setminus \bar{\Omega}] is connected. If g is holomorphic in Ω and every derivative of g extends continuously on [`(W)]\bar{\Omega} , then we write g ∈ A^∞ (Ω). For g ∈ A^∞ (Ω) and z ? [`(W)]\zeta \in \bar{\Omega} we denote S_N (g,z)(z) = ?^N_l=0\fracg^(l) (z)l ! (z-z)^lS_N (g,\zeta )(z)= \sum^{N}_{l=0}\frac{g^{(l)} (\zeta )}{l !} (z-\zeta )^l . We prove the existence of a function f ∈ A^∞(Ω), such that the following hold:

Life span of solutions of a weakly coupled parabolic system

We consider the Cauchy problem for the weakly coupled parabolic system ∂ _t w _λ−Δ w _λ = F(w _λ) in R ^N , where λ > 0, w _λ = (u _λ, v _λ), F(w _λ) = (v _λ ^p , u _λ ^q ) for some p, q ≥ 1, pq > 1, and w_l(0) = (lj₁, l^\fracq+1p+1j₂)w_{\lambda}(0) = ({\lambda}{\varphi}_1, {\lambda}^{\frac{q+1}{p+1}}{\varphi}_2), for some nonnegative functions φ₁, φ₂ ?\in C ₀(R ^N ). If (p, q) is sub-critical or either φ₁ or φ₂ has slow decay at ∞, w _λ blows up for all λ > 0. Under these conditions, we study the blowup of w _λ for λ small.     

A Remark on the Growth of the Denominators of Convergents

For log\frac1+?52 ￡ l_* ￡ l^* < ￥{\rm log}\frac{1+\sqrt{5}}{2}\leq \lambda_\ast \leq \lambda^\ast < \infty , let E(λ_*, λ^*) be the set {x ? [0,1): liminf_{n ? ￥}\fraclogq_n(x)n=l_*, limsup_{n ? ￥}\fraclogq_n(x)n=l^*}. \left\{x\in [0,1):\ \mathop{\lim\inf}_{n \rightarrow \infty}\frac{\log q_n(x)}{n}=\lambda_{\ast}, \mathop{\lim\sup}_{n \rightarrow \infty}\frac{\log q_n(x)}{n}=\lambda^{\ast}\right\}. It has been proved in [1] and [3] that E(λ_*, λ^*) is an uncountable set. In the present paper, we strengthen this result by showing that dimE(l_*, l^*) 3 \fracl_* -log\frac1+?522l^*\dim E(\lambda_{\ast}, \lambda^{\ast}) \ge \frac{\lambda_{\ast} -\log \frac{1+\sqrt{5}}{2}}{2\lambda^{\ast}}

On Li’s coefficients for the Rankin–Selberg <Emphasis Type="Italic">L</Emphasis>-functions

We define a generalized Li coefficient for the L-functions attached to the Rankin–Selberg convolution of two cuspidal unitary automorphic representations π and π ^′ of GL_m(\mathbbA_F)GL_{m}(\mathbb{A}_{F}) and GL_m^￠(\mathbbA_F)GL_{m^{\prime }}(\mathbb{A}_{F}) . Using the explicit formula, we obtain an arithmetic representation of the n th Li coefficient l_p,p^￠(n)\lambda _{\pi ,\pi ^{\prime }}(n) attached to L(s,p_f×[(p)\tilde]_f^￠)L(s,\pi _{f}\times \widetilde{\pi}_{f}^{\prime }) . Then, we deduce a full asymptotic expansion of the archimedean contribution to l_p,p^￠(n)\lambda _{\pi ,\pi ^{\prime }}(n) and investigate the contribution of the finite (non-archimedean) term. Under the generalized Riemann hypothesis (GRH) on non-trivial zeros of L(s,p_f×[(p)\tilde]_f^￠)L(s,\pi _{f}\times \widetilde{\pi}_{f}^{\prime }) , the nth Li coefficient l_p,p^￠(n)\lambda _{\pi ,\pi ^{\prime }}(n) is evaluated in a different way and it is shown that GRH implies the bound towards a generalized Ramanujan conjecture for the archimedean Langlands parameters μ _π (v,j) of π. Namely, we prove that under GRH for L(s,p_f×[(p)\tilde]_f)L(s,\pi _{f}\times \widetilde{\pi}_{f}) one has |Rem_p(v,j)| ￡ \frac14|\mathop {\mathrm {Re}}\mu_{\pi}(v,j)|\leq \frac{1}{4} for all archimedean places v at which π is unramified and all j=1,…,m.

Intertwining the geodesic flow and the Schr?dinger group on hyperbolic surfaces

We construct an explicit intertwining operator L{\mathcal L} between the Schr?dinger group e^{it \frac\triangle2}{e^{it \frac\triangle2}} and the geodesic flow on certain Hilbert spaces of symbols on the cotangent bundle T*X _Γ of a compact hyperbolic surface X _Γ = Γ\D. We also define Γ-invariant eigendistributions of the geodesic flow PS_{j, k, nj,-nk}{PS_{j, k, \nu_j,-\nu_k}} (Patterson-Sullivan distributions) out of pairs of \triangle{\triangle} -eigenfunctions, generalizing the diagonal case j = k treated in Anantharaman and Zelditch (Ann. Henri Poincaré 8(2):361–426, 2007). The operator L{\mathcal L} maps PS_{j, k, nj,-nk}{PS_{j, k, \nu_j,-\nu_k}} to the Wigner distribution W^G_j,k{W^{\Gamma}_{j,k}} studied in quantum chaos. We define Hilbert spaces H_PS{\mathcal H_{PS}} (whose dual is spanned by {PS_{j, k, nj,-nk}{PS_{j, k, \nu_j,-\nu_k}}}), resp. H_W{\mathcal H_W} (whose dual is spanned by {W^G_j,k}{\{W^{\Gamma}_{j,k}\}}), and show that L{\mathcal L} is a unitary isomorphism from H_W ? H_PS.{\mathcal H_{W} \to \mathcal H_{PS}.}     

(Almost) primitivity of Hecke L -functions

Let f be a cusp form of the Hecke space \frak M₀(l,k,e){\frak M}_0(\lambda,k,\epsilon) and let L _f be the normalized L-function associated to f. Recently it has been proved that L _f belongs to an axiomatically defined class of functions [`(S)]<sup>\sharp</sup>\bar{\cal S}^\sharp . We prove that when λ ≤ 2, L <sub>f</sub> is always almost primitive, i.e., that if L <sub>f</sub> is written as product of functions in [`(S)]^\sharp\bar{\cal S}^\sharp , then one factor, at least, has degree zeros and hence is a Dirichlet polynomial. Moreover, we prove that if l ? {?2,?3,2}\lambda\notin\{\sqrt{2},\sqrt{3},2\} then L _f is also primitive, i.e., that if L _f = F ₁ F ₂ then F ₁ (or F ₂) is constant; for l ? {?2,?3,2}\lambda\in\{\sqrt{2},\sqrt{3},2\} the factorization of non-primitive functions is studied and examples of non-primitive functions are given. At last, the subset of functions f for which L _f belongs to the more familiar extended Selberg class S^\sharp{\cal S}^\sharp is characterized and for these functions we obtain analogous conclusions about their (almost) primitivity in S^\sharp{\cal S}^\sharp .     

Arithmetic mean of differences of Dedekind sums

Recently, Girstmair and Schoissengeier studied the asymptotic behavior of the arithmetic mean of Dedekind sums \frac1j(N) ? _{0 ￡ m < Ngcd(m,N)=1} |S(m,N)|\frac{1}{\varphi(N)} \sum_{\mathop{\mathop{ 0 \le m< N}}\limits_{\gcd(m,N)=1}} \vert S(m,N)\vert , as N → ∞. In this paper we consider the arithmetic mean of weighted differences of Dedekind sums in the form A_h(Q)=\frac1?_{\fracaq ? FQ}h(\fracaq) ×?_{\fracaq ? FQ}h(\fracaq) |s(a^￠,q^￠)-s(a,q)|A_{h}(Q)=\frac{1}{\sum_{\frac{a}{q} \in {\cal F}_{Q}}h\left(\frac{a}{q}\right)} \times \sum_{\frac{a}{q} \in {\cal F}_{\!Q}}h\left(\frac{a}{q}\right) \vert s(a^{\prime},q^{\prime})-s(a,q)\vert , where h:[0,1] ? \Bbb Ch:[0,1] \rightarrow {\Bbb C} is a continuous function with ò₀¹ h(t)  d t 1 0\int_0^1 h(t) \, {\rm d} t \ne 0 , \fracaq{\frac{a}{q}} runs over F_Q{\cal F}_{\!Q} , the set of Farey fractions of order Q in the unit interval [0,1] and \fracaq < \fraca^￠q^￠{\frac{a}{q}}<\frac{a^{\prime}}{q^{\prime}} are consecutive elements of F_Q{\cal F}_{\!Q} . We show that the limit lim _Q→∞ A _h (Q) exists and is independent of h.     

Degenerate elliptic operators in one dimension

Let H be the symmetric second-order differential operator on L ₂(R) with domain ${C_c^\infty({\bf R})}Let H be the symmetric second-order differential operator on L ₂(R) with domain C_c^￥(R){C_c^\infty({\bf R})} and action Hj = -(c j^￠)^￠{H\varphi=-(c\,\varphi^{\prime})^{\prime}} where c ? W^1,2_loc(R){ c\in W^{1,2}_{\rm loc}({\bf R})} is a real function that is strictly positive on R\{0}{{\bf R}\backslash\{0\}} but with c(0) = 0. We give a complete characterization of the self-adjoint extensions and the submarkovian extensions of H. In particular if n = n₊ún_-{\nu=\nu_+\vee\nu_-} where n_±(x)=±ò^±1_±x c^-1{\nu_\pm(x)=\pm\int^{\pm 1}_{\pm x} c^{-1}} then H has a unique self-adjoint extension if and only if n ? L₂(0,1){\nu\not\in L_2(0,1)} and a unique submarkovian extension if and only if n ? L_￥(0,1){\nu\not\in L_\infty(0,1)}. In both cases, the corresponding semigroup leaves L ₂(0,∞) and L ₂(−∞,0) invariant. In addition, we prove that for a general non-negative c ? W^1,￥_loc(R){ c\in W^{1,\infty}_{\rm loc}({\bf R})} the corresponding operator H has a unique submarkovian extension.     

Toeplitz Operators on Generalized Bergman Spaces

We consider the weighted Bergman spaces HL²(\mathbb B^d, m_l){\mathcal {H}L^{2}(\mathbb {B}^{d}, \mu_{\lambda})}, where we set dm_l(z) = c_l(1-|z|²)^l dt(z){d\mu_{\lambda}(z) = c_{\lambda}(1-|z|^2)^{\lambda} d\tau(z)}, with τ being the hyperbolic volume measure. These spaces are nonzero if and only if λ > d. For 0 < λ ≤ d, spaces with the same formula for the reproducing kernel can be defined using a Sobolev-type norm. We define Toeplitz operators on these generalized Bergman spaces and investigate their properties. Specifically, we describe classes of symbols for which the corresponding Toeplitz operators can be defined as bounded operators or as a Hilbert–Schmidt operators on the generalized Bergman spaces.     

Commutators of BMO functions and degenerate Schr?dinger operators with certain nonnegative potentials

Let Lf(x)=-\frac1w?_i,j ?_i(a_i,j(·)?_jf)(x)+V(x)f(x){\mathcal{L}f(x)=-\frac{1}{\omega}\sum_{i,j} \partial_i(a_{i,j}(\cdot)\partial_jf)(x)+V(x)f(x)} with the non-negative potential V belonging to reverse H?lder class with respect to the measure ω(x)dx, where ω(x) satisfies the A ₂ condition of Muckenhoupt and a _i,j (x) is a real symmetric matrix satisfying l^-1w(x)|x|² ￡ ?ⁿ_i,j=1a_i,j(x)x_ix_j ￡ lw(x)|x|².{\lambda^{-1}\omega(x)|\xi|^2\le \sum^n_{i,j=1}a_{i,j}(x)\xi_i\xi_j\le\lambda\omega(x)|\xi|^2. } We obtain some estimates for V^aL^-a{V^{\alpha}\mathcal{L}^{-\alpha}} on the weighted L ^p spaces and we study the weighted L ^p boundedness of the commutator [b, V^a L^-a]{[b, V^{\alpha} \mathcal{L}^{-\alpha}]} when b ? BMO_w{b\in BMO_\omega} and 0 < α ≤ 1.     

Fully developed laminar slip and no-slip flow in rough microtubes

The effect of surface roughness on developed laminar flow in microtubes is investigated. The tube boundary is defined by r=R[1+e sin( lq)]{r=R\left[{1+\varepsilon\, {\rm sin}\left( {\lambda \theta }\right)}\right]}, with R representing the reference radius and e{\varepsilon} and λ the roughness parameters. The momentum equation is solved using Fourier–Galerkin–Tau method with slip at the boundary. A novel semi-analytical method is developed to predict friction factor and pressure drop in corrugated rough microtubes for continuum flow and slip flow that are not restricted to small values of el{\varepsilon \lambda } . The analytical solution collapses onto the perturbation solution ofDuan and Muzychka (J. Fluids Eng., 130:031102, 2008) for small enough values of el{\varepsilon \lambda } .     

Inequalities for irregular Gabor frames

In [C.K. Chui and X.L. Shi, Inequalities of Littlewood-Paley type for frames and wavelets, SIAM J. Math. Anal., 24 (1993), 263–277], the authors proved that if {e^imbxg(x-na): m,n ? \Bbb Z}\{e^{imbx}g(x-na): m,n\in{\Bbb Z}\} is a Gabor frame for L²(\Bbb R)L^2({\Bbb R}) with frame bounds A and B, then the following two inequalities hold: A ￡ \frac2pb?_{n ? \Bbb Z}|g(x-na)|² ￡ B,     a.e.A\le \frac{2\pi}{b}\sum_{n\in{\Bbb Z}}\vert g(x-na)\vert^2\le B, \quad a.e. and A ￡ \frac1a?_{m ? \Bbb Z}|[^(g)](w-mb)|² ￡ B,     a.e.A\le \frac{1}{a}\sum_{m\in{\Bbb Z}}\vert \hat{g}(\omega-mb)\vert^2\le B, \quad a.e. . In this paper, we show that similar inequalities hold for multi-generated irregular Gabor frames of the form è_{1 ￡ k ￡ r}{e^{iáx, l?}g_k(x-m): m ? D_k, l ? L_k }\bigcup_{1\le k\le r}\{e^{i\langle x, \lambda\rangle}g_{k}(x-\mu):\, \mu\in \Delta_k, \lambda\in\Lambda_k \} , where Δ _k and Λ _k are arbitrary sequences of points in \Bbb R^d{\Bbb R}^d and g_k ? L²(\Bbb R^d)g_k\in{L^2{(\Bbb R}^d)} , 1 ≤ k ≤ r.     

Regularity of weak solutions to the Navier–Stokes equations in exterior domains

Let u be a weak solution of the Navier–Stokes equations in an exterior domain ${\Omega \subset \mathbb{R}^3}Let u be a weak solution of the Navier–Stokes equations in an exterior domain W ì \mathbbR³{\Omega \subset \mathbb{R}^3} and a time interval [0, T[ , 0 < T ≤ ∞, with initial value u ₀, external force f = div F, and satisfying the strong energy inequality. It is well known that global regularity for u is an unsolved problem unless we state additional conditions on the data u ₀ and f or on the solution u itself such as Serrin’s condition || u ||_{L^s(0,T; L^q(W))} < ￥{\| u \|_{L^s(0,T; L^q(\Omega))} < \infty} with 2 < s < ￥, \frac2s + \frac3q = 1{2 < s < \infty, \frac{2}{s} + \frac{3}{q} =1}. In this paper, we generalize results on local in time regularity for bounded domains, see Farwig et al. (Indiana Univ Math J 56:2111–2131, 2007; J Math Fluid Mech 11:1–14, 2008; Banach Center Publ 81:175–184, 2008), to exterior domains. If e.g. u fulfills Serrin’s condition in a left-side neighborhood of t or if the norm || u ||_{L^s￠(t-d,t; L^q(W))}{\| u \|_{L^{s'}(t-\delta,t; L^q(\Omega))}} converges to 0 sufficiently fast as δ → 0 + , where ${\frac{2}{s'} + \frac{3}{q} > 1}${\frac{2}{s'} + \frac{3}{q} > 1}, then u is regular at t. The same conclusion holds when the kinetic energy \frac12|| u(t) ||₂²{\frac{1}{2}\| u(t) \|_2^2} is locally H?lder continuous with exponent ${\alpha > \frac{1}{2}}${\alpha > \frac{1}{2}}.     

Isometric Equivalence of Integration Operators

We are interested in the isometric equivalence problem for the Cesàro operator C(f) (z) = \frac1z ò₀^zf(x) \frac11-xd x{C(f) (z) =\frac{1}{z} \int_{0}^{z}f(\xi) \frac{1}{1-\xi}d \xi} and an operator T_g(f)(z)=\frac1zò₀^zf(x) g^￠(x) d x{T_{g}(f)(z)=\frac{1}{z}\int_{0}^{z}f(\xi) g^{\prime}(\xi) d \xi}, where g is an analytic function on the disc, on the Hardy and Bergman spaces. Then we generalize this to the isometric equivalence problem of two operators T_g1{T_{g_{1}}} and T_g2{T_{g_{2}}} on the Hardy space and Bergman space. We show that the operators T_g1{T_{g_{1}}} and T_g2{T_{g_{2}}} satisfy T_g1U₁=U₂T_g2{T_{g_{1}}U_{1}=U_{2}T_{g_{2}}} on H ^p , 1 ≤ p < ∞, p ≠ 2 if and only if g₂(z) = lg₁(e^iqz){g_{2}(z) =\lambda g_{1}(e^{i\theta}z) }, where λ is a modulus one constant and U _i , i = 1, 2 are surjective isometries of the Hardy Space. This is analogous to the Campbell-Wright result on isometrically equivalence of composition operators on the Hardy space.
