Global solvability and global hypoellipticity in Gevrey classes for vector fields on the torus

Let $L=?/?t+{\sum }_{j=1}^N(a_j+i{b}_j)(t)?/?x_j$ be a vector field defined on the torus ${\mathbb{T}}^{N+1}?{\mathbb{R}}^{N+1}/2\pi {\mathbb{Z}}^{N+1}$, where $a_j$, $b_j$ are real-valued functions and belonging to the Gevrey class $G^s({\mathbb{T}}^1)$, $s>1$, for $j=1,\dots ,N$. We present a complete characterization for the s-global solvability and s-global hypoellipticity of L. Our results are linked to Diophantine properties of the coefficients and, also, connectedness of certain sublevel sets.     

Global solvability on the torus for certain classes of formally self-adjoint operators

In this paper we prove a necessary and sufficient condition for global solvability on the torus for two classes of formally self-adjoint operators. For the first class of operators we prove that global solvability is equivalent to an algebraic condition involving Liouville vectors and simultaneous approximability. For the second class of operators, when the coefficients are not identically zero, an independence condition on the coefficients is shown to be necessary and sufficient for global solvability.

Global solvability of real analytic complex vector fields in two variables

This paper deals with the global solvability of a complex vector field with real analytic coefficients in two real variables. The vector field is assumed to satisfy the Nirenberg-Treves condition (P) for local solvability. Normal forms for the vector field near the one-dimensional orbits are obtained and a generalization of the Riemann-Hilbert problem is considered.     

Global solvability for Kirchhoff equation in special classes of non-analytic functions

In this paper we derive the following two properties: the first one is a precise representation of WKB solution to the Cauchy problem of a linear wave equation with a variable coefficient with respect to time, and the second one is the global solvability for Kirchhoff equation in some special classes of nonreal-analytic functions, which is proved by grace of the first property.     

Global solvability for a class of overdetermined systems

In this work we consider systems of two smooth vector fields on the three-dimensional torus associated to a closed 1-form. We prove that, for such systems, the global solvability in the space of smooth functions is characterized by the property of all the sublevel and superlevel sets of a certain primitive of the 1-form being connected.     

Interiors of sets of vector fields with shadowing corresponding to certain classes of reparameterizations

The structure of the C ¹-interiors of sets of vector fields with various forms of the shadowing property is studied. The fundamental difference between the problem under consideration and its counterpart for discrete dynamical systems generated by diffeomorphisms is the reparameterization of shadowing orbits. Depending on the type of reparameterization, Lipschitz and oriented shadowing properties are distinguished. As is known, structurally stable vector fields have the Lipschitz shadowing property. Let X be a vector field, and let p and q be its points of rest or closed orbits. Suppose that the stable manifold of p and the unstable manifold of q have a nontransversal intersection point. It is shown that, in this case, the vector field X does not have the Lipschitz shadowing property. If one of the orbits p and q is closed, then X does not have the oriented shadowing property. These assertions imply that the C ¹-interior of the set of vector fields with the Lipschitz shadowing property coincides with the set of structurally stable vector fields. If the dimension of the manifold under consideration is at most 3, then a similar result is valid for the oriented shadowing property. We study the structure of the C ¹-interiors of sets of vector fields with various forms of the shadowing property. It is shown that, in the case of the Lipschitz shadowing property, it coincides with the set of structurally stable systems. For manifolds of dimension at most 3, a similar result is valid for the oriented shadowing property.     

Global s-solvability and global s-hypoellipticity for certain perturbations of zero order of systems of constant real vector fields

The main purpose of this paper is to show, in the two-dimensional torus, a necessary and sufficient condition in order to certain perturbations of zero order of a system of constant real vector fields to be globally s-solvable. We are also interested in studying its global s-hypoellipticity. We present connections between these global concepts and a priori estimates. We also present two applications of our results for systems of operators with variable coefficients.     

Necessary and sufficient conditions for the local solvability in hyperfunctions of a class of systems of complex vector fields

Summary A necessary and sufficient condition is proved for the validity of the Poincaré Lemma in degreeq1, in the differential complex attached to a locally integrable structure of codimension one, in spaces of hyperfunctions. The base manifold is only assumed to be smooth. The hyperfunctions are defined in the hypo-analytic structure associated to a smooth first integral Z. The condition is that the singular homology of the fibres of the map Z be trivial in dimensionq-1. By the approximation formula of [BT]|the germ of this fibration at a point is independent of the choice of the first integral Z.Oblatum 25-III-1994 & 19-X-1994The research of Cordaro was supported by CNPq Grant # 304825/89-1.

Methods for solving underdetermined systems

We compare some alternative methods for computing solutions of underdetermined linear systems, Ax=b. Each method involves solving an associated system with a different nonsingular coefficient matrix, . We obtain bounds on the condition numbers of these nonsingular matrices and test the methods on numerical examples. We discuss implications for computing eigenvector derivatives and make some recommendations.     

Existence of Gevrey approximate solutions for certain systems of linear vector fields applied to involutive systems of first-order nonlinear pdes

Given a Gs-involutive structure, (M,V), a Gevrey submanifold X⊂M which is maximally real and a Gevrey function u₀ on X we construct a Gevrey function u which extends u₀ and is a Gevrey approximate solution for V. We then use our construction to study Gevrey micro-local regularity of solutions, u∈C²(RN), of a system of nonlinear pdes of the form

     

Global analytic regularity for sums of squares of vector fields

We consider a class of operators in the form of a sum of squares of vector fields with real analytic coefficients on the torus and we show that the zero order term may influence their global analytic hypoellipticity. Also we extend a result of Cordaro-Himonas.
