Wave Factorization of Elliptic Symbols

We introduce a definition of the wave factorization of symbols of elliptic pseudodifferential operators and demonstrate applications of the wave factorization to the analysis of pseudodifferential equations in cones.     

Spline qualocation methods for variable-coefficient elliptic equations on curves

Summary. Here the stability and convergence results of oqualocation methods providing additional orders of convergence are extended from the special class of pseudodifferential equations with constant coefficient symbols to general classical pseudodifferential equations of strongly and of oddly elliptic type. The analysis exploits localization in the form of frozen coefficients, pseudohomogeneous asymptotic symbol representation of classical pseudodifferential operators, a decisive commutator property of the qualocation projection and requires qualocation rules which provide sufficiently many additional degrees of precision for the numerical integration of smooth remainders. Numerical examples show the predicted high orders of convergence. Received January 29, 1998 / Published online: June 29, 1999     

Pseudodifferential operators with real analytic symbols and approximation methods for pseudodifferential equations

This paper introduces some methods (including an approximation method) for investigating pseudodifferential equations and related problems (Cauchy problems, boundary value problems,…) based on the technique of pseudodifferential operators with real analytic symbols.     

Riesz kernels and pseudodifferential operators attached to quadratic forms over p-adic fields

We study pseudodifferential equations and Riesz kernels attached to certain quadratic forms over p-adic fields. We attach to an elliptic quadratic form of dimension two or four a family of distributions depending on a complex parameter, the Riesz kernels, and show that these distributions form an Abelian group under convolution. This result implies the existence of fundamental solutions for certain pseudodifferential equations like in the classical case.     

On the invertibility of infinite-dimensional pseudodifferential operators

We obtain the conditions of one-valued solvability of some infinite-dimensional pseudodifferential equations and construct some classes of invertible pseudodifferential operators with symbols depending on two arguments.Translated from Sovremennaya Matematika i Ee Prilozheniya (Contemporary Mathematics and Its Applications), Vol. 9, Suzdal Conference-3, 2003.     

Some boundary value problems for pseudodifferential equations with degeneration

Boundary value problems for a new class of degenerate pseudodifferential equations containing a variable-symbol degenerate pseudodifferential operator based on a special integral transform and the first derivative with respect to one of the variables are studied. Existence theorems for these problems are proved. A priori estimates for their solutions are obtained in special weighted spaces similar to Sobolev ones.     

Gain of regularity for semilinear Schrödinger equations

We discuss local existence and gain of regularity for semilinear Schr?dinger equations which generally cause loss of derivatives. We prove our results by advanced energy estimates. More precisely, block diagonalization and Doi's transformation, together with symbol smoothing for pseudodifferential operators with nonsmooth coefficients, apply to systems of Schr?dinger-type equations. In particular, the sharp G?rding inequality for pseudodifferential operators whose coefficients are twice continuously differentiable, plays a crucial role in our proof.

Interaction between thermoelastic and scalar oscillation fields

Three-dimensional mathematical problems of the interaction between thermoelastic and scalar oscillation fields in a general physically anisotropic case are studied by the boundary integral equation methods. Uniqueness and existence theorems are proved by the reduction of the original interface problems to equivalent systems of boundary pseudodifferential equations. In the non-resonance case the invertibility of the corresponding matrix pseudodifferential operators in appropriate functional spaces is shown on the basis of the generalized Sommerfeld-Kupradze type thermoradiation conditions for anisotropic bodies. In the resonance case the co-kernels of the pseudodifferential operators are analysed and the efficient conditions of solvability of the original interface problems are established.     

Non-Archimedean Pseudodifferential Operators and Feller Semigroups

In this article we study a large class of non-Archimedean pseudodifferential operators whose symbols are negative definite functions.We prove that these operators extend to generators of Feller semigroups. In order to study these operators, we introduce a new class of anisotropic Sobolev spaces, which are the natural domains for the operators considered here.We also study the Cauchy problem for certain pseudodifferential equations.     

Error Bounds for Solving Pseudodifferential Equations on Spheres by Collocation with Zonal Kernels

The problem of solving pseudodifferential equations on spheres by collocation with zonal kernels is considered and bounds for the approximation error are established. The bounds are given in terms of the maximum separation distance of the collocation points, the order of the pseudodifferential operator, and the smoothness of the employed zonal kernel. A by-product of the results is an improvement on the previously known convergence order estimates for Lagrange interpolation.     

Bessel Potential Operators for Canonical Lipschitz Domains

We construct convolution operators which define isomorphisms between SOBOLEV spaces of distributions supported on a canonical LIPSCHITZ domain. These operators are used for reduction of order of WIENER -HOPF equations or pseudodifferential equations on a canonical LIPSCHITZ domain.     

Multidimensional ultrametric pseudodifferential equations

We develop an analysis of wavelets and pseudodifferential operators on multidimensional ultrametric spaces which are defined as products of locally compact ultrametric spaces. We introduce bases of wavelets, spaces of generalized functions and the space D′₀(X) of generalized functions on a multidimensional ultrametric space. We also consider some family of pseudodifferential operators on multidimensional ultrametric spaces. The notions of Cauchy problem for ultrametric pseudodifferential equations and of ultrametric characteristics are introduced. We prove an existence theorem and describe all solutions for the Cauchy problem (an analog of the Kovalevskaya theorem).     

Well-posedness of general nonlocal nonhomogeneous boundary value problems for pseudodifferential equations with partial derivatives

In the article we study the questions of well-posedness of general nonlocal boundary value problems for pseudodifferential equations in the Besov-type limit spaces.     

Pseudodifferential operators in the theory of multiphase,multi-rate flows

This paper shows that for mechanical systems, the dimension of whose base space is larger than time (there also exist spatial coordinates), the system of equations defining the evolution of the system must be a hyperbolic system of pseudodifferential equations.     

Pseudodifferential Multi-Product Representation of the Solution Operator of a Parabolic Equation

By using a time slicing procedure, we represent the solution operator of a second-order parabolic pseudodifferential equation on ? ⁿ as an infinite product of zero-order pseudodifferential operators. A similar representation formula is proven for parabolic differential equations on a compact Riemannian manifold. Each operator in the multi-product is given by a simple explicit Ansatz. The proof is based on an effective use of the Weyl calculus and the Fefferman-Phong inequality.     

A spline collocation method for parabolic pseudodifferential equations

The purpose of this paper is to examine a boundary element collocation method for some parabolic pseudodifferential equations. The basic model problem for our investigation is the two-dimensional heat conduction problem with vanishing initial condition and a given Neumann or Dirichlet type boundary condition. Certain choices of the representation formula for the heat potential yield boundary integral equations of the first kind, namely the single layer and the hypersingular heat operator equations. Both of these operators, in particular, are covered by the class of parabolic pseudodifferential operators under consideration. Moreover, the spatial domain is allowed to have a general smooth boundary curve. As trial functions the tensor products of the smoothest spline functions of odd degree (space) and continuous piecewise linear splines (time) are used. Stability and convergence of the method is proved in some appropriate anisotropic Sobolev spaces.     

Convergence estimates of Galerkin-wavelet solutions to a Cauchy problem for a class of periodic pseudodifferential equations

A class of Cauchy problems for interesting complicated periodic pseudodifferential equations is considered. By the Galerkin-wavelet method and with weak solutions one can find sufficient conditions to establish convergence estimates of weak Galerkin-wavelet solutions to a Cauchy problem for this class of equations.

     

Boundary value problems for complete partial differential equations of variable order

We prove the well-posedness of new boundary value problems for partially pseudodifferential complete nonclassical equations of variable order in space variables with higher derivatives of odd order in time.     

On the asymptotic completeness of the Volterra calculus

The Volterra calculus is a simple and powerful pseudodifferential tool for inverting parabolic equations which has found many applications in geometric analysis. An important property in the theory of pseudodifferential operators is asymptotic completeness, which allows the construction of parametrices modulo smoothing operators. In this paper, we present new and fairly elementary proofs of the asymptotic completeness of the Volterra calculus.

The canonic operator (real case)

We examine homogeneous partial differential and pseudodifferential equations containing a large parameter and the Schrödinger and Helmholtz equations analogous to them in their properties. We present a canonic operator method which permits us to construct asymptotic solutions in the large for such classes of equations. In the paper we present as well the necessary information on analytical mechanics and on the theory of Lagrange manifolds.
