Picard dimension of signed radial Kato measures

The Picard dimension dimμ of a signed local Kato measure μ on the punctured unit ball in R^d, d ≥ 2, is the cardinal number of the set of extremal rays of the convex cone of all continuous solutions u ≥ 0 of the time-independent SchrSdinger equation Δu -- uμ = 0 on the punctured ball 0 〈 ｜｜x｜｜ 〈 1, with vanishing boundary values on the sphere ｜｜x｜｜ = 1. Using potential theory associated with the Schrodinger operator we prove, in this paper, that the dimμ for a signed radial Kato measure is 0, 1 or ＋∞. In particular, we obtain the Picard dimension of locally Holder continuous functions P proved by Nakai and Tada by other methods.     

A new characterization of RBMO(<Emphasis Type="Italic">μ</Emphasis>) by John-Strömberg sharp maximal functions

Let μ be a nonnegative Radon measure on ? ^d which only satisfies μ (B(x, r)) ? C ₀ r ⁿ for all x ∈ ? ^d , r > 0, with some fixed constants C ₀ > 0 and n ∈ (0, d]. In this paper, a new characterization for the space RBMO(μ) of Tolsa in terms of the John-Strömberg sharp maximal function is established.     

Diophantine inequality involving binary forms

Let d ? 3 be an integer, and set r = 2^d?1 + 1 for 3 ? d ? 4, \(\tfrac{{17}}{{32}} \cdot 2^d + 1\) for 5 ? d ? 6, r = d²+d+1 for 7 ? d ? 8, and r = d²+d+2 for d ? 9, respectively. Suppose that Φ _i (x, y) ∈ ?[x, y] (1 ? i ? r) are homogeneous and nondegenerate binary forms of degree d. Suppose further that λ₁, λ₂,..., λ _r are nonzero real numbers with λ₁/λ₂ irrational, and λ₁Φ₁(x₁, y₁) + λ₂Φ₂(x₂, y₂) + · · · + λ _r Φ _r (x _r , y _r ) is indefinite. Then for any given real η and σ with 0 < σ < 2^2?d, it is proved that the inequality

$$\left| {\sum\limits_{i = 1}^r {{\lambda _i}\Phi {}_i\left( {{x_i},{y_i}} \right) + \eta } } \right| < {\left( {\mathop {\max \left\{ {\left| {{x_i}} \right|,\left| {{y_i}} \right|} \right\}}\limits_{1 \leqslant i \leqslant r} } \right)^{ - \sigma }}$$

has infinitely many solutions in integers x₁, x₂,..., x _r , y₁, y₂,..., y _r . This result constitutes an improvement upon that of B. Q. Xue.

     

A Remark on the Boundedness of Calderón–Zygmund Operators in Nony–homogeneous Spaces

Let μ be a Radon measure on Rd which may be non–doubling. The only condition satisfied by μ is that μ(B(x, r)) ≤ Cr ⁿ for all x ∈ ? ^d , r > 0 and some fixed 0 < n ≤ d. In this paper, the authors prove that the boundedness from H ¹(μ) into L ¹,^∞(μ) of a singular integral operator T with Calderón–Zygmund kernel of Hörmander type implies its L ²(μ)–boundedness.     

Asymptotic expansion of the solution of the initial value problem for a singularly perturbed ordinary differential equation

We consider the Cauchy problem for the nonlinear differential equation

$$\varepsilon \frac{{du}}{{dx}} = f(x,u),u(0,\varepsilon ) = R_0 ,$$

where ? > 0 is a small parameter, f(x, u) ∈ C ^∞ ([0, d] × ?), R ₀ > 0, and the following conditions are satisfied: f(x, u) = x ? u ^p + O(x ² + |xu| + |u|^p+1) as x, u → 0, where p ∈ ? \ {1} f(x, 0) > 0 for x > 0; f _u ²(x, u) < 0 for (x, u) ∈ [0, d] × (0, + ∞); Σ ₀ ^+∞ f _u ²(x, u) du = ?∞. We construct three asymptotic expansions (external, internal, and intermediate) and prove that the matched asymptotic expansion approximates the solution uniformly on the entire interval [0, d].

     

On power series representing solutions of the one-dimensional time-independent Schrödinger equation

For the equation χ″(x) = u(x)χ(x) with infinitely smooth u(x), the general solution χ(x) is found in the form of a power series. The coefficients of the series are expressed via all derivatives u ^(m)(y) of the function u(x) at a fixed point y. Examples of solutions for particular functions u(x) are considered.     

Vanishing power values of commutators with derivations

Let R be a prime ring of char R ≠ 2, let d be a nonzero derivation of R, and let ρ be a nonzero right ideal of R such that [[d(x)x ⁿ , d(y)] _m , [y, x] _s ] ^t = 0 for all x, y ? ρ, where n ≥ 1, m ≥ 0, s ≥ 0, and t ≥ 1 are fixed integers. If [ρ, ρ]ρ ≠ 0 then d(ρ)ρ = 0.     

Averaging of systems of differential inclusions with slow and fast variables

We consider the system of differential inclusions

$$\dot x \in \mu F(t, x, y, \mu ), x(0) = x_0 , \dot y \in G(t, x, y, \mu ), y(0) = y_0 $$

, where F,G: D → Kυ (\(R^{m_1 } \)), Kυ (\(R^{m_2 } \)) are mappings into the sets of nonempty convex compact sets in the Euclidean spaces \(R^{m_1 } \) and \(R^{m_2 } \), respectively, D = R ₊ × \(R^{m_1 } \) × \(R^{m_2 } \) × [0, a], a > 0, and µ is a small parameter. The functions F and G and the right-hand side of the averaged problem \(\dot u\) ∈ µF ₀(u), u(0) = x ₀, F ₀(u) ∈ Kυ (\(R^{m_1 } \)), satisfy the one-sided Lipschitz condition with respect to the corresponding phase variables. Under these and some other conditions, we prove that, for each ? > 0, there exists a µ > 0 such that, for an arbitrary µ ∈ (0, µ₀] and any solution x _µ(·), y _µ(·) of the original problem, there exists a solution u _µ(·) of the averaged problem such that ∥x _µ(t) ? y _µ(t) ∥ ≤ ? for t ∈ [0, 1/µ]. Furthermore, for each solution u _µ(·)of the averaged problem, there exists a solution x _µ(·), y _µ(·) of the original problem with the same estimate.

     

Inverse problem with nonlocal observation of finding the coefficient multiplying <Emphasis Type="Italic">u</Emphasis> <Subscript> <Emphasis Type="Italic">t</Emphasis> </Subscript> in the parabolic equation

We study the inverse problem of the reconstruction of the coefficient ?(x, t) = ?⁰(x, t) + r(x) multiplying u_t in a nonstationary parabolic equation. Here ?⁰(x, t) ≥ ?⁰ > 0 is a given function, and r(x) ≥ 0 is an unknown function of the class L_∞(Ω). In addition to the initial and boundary conditions (the data of the direct problem), we pose the problem of nonlocal observation in the form ∫₀^Tu(x, t) dμ(t) = χ(x) with a known measure dμ(t) and a function χ(x). We separately consider the case dμ(t) = ω(t)dt of integral observation with a smooth function ω(t). We obtain sufficient conditions for the existence and uniqueness of the solution of the inverse problem, which have the form of ready-to-verify inequalities. We suggest an iterative procedure for finding the solution and prove its convergence. Examples of particular inverse problems for which the assumptions of our theorems hold are presented.     

Problem with analogs of the Frankl’ condition on a characteristic and the degeneration segment for an equation of mixed type with a singular coefficient

For the equation (sign y)|y| ^m u _xx +u _yy ?m(2y)^?1 u _y = 0, where m > 0, considered in some mixed domain, we prove existence and uniqueness theorems for the solution of the boundary value problem with an analog of the Frankl’ condition on a characteristic and on the degeneration segment of the equation.     

Solvability of Mixed Problems for the Klein–Gordon–Fock Equation in the Class <Emphasis Type="Italic">L</Emphasis><Subscript><Emphasis Type="Italic">p</Emphasis></Subscript> for <Emphasis Type="Italic">p</Emphasis> ≥ 1

We prove that the mixed problem for the Klein–Gordon–Fock equation u _tt (x, t) ? u _xx (x, t) + au(x, t) = 0, where a ≥ 0, in the rectangle Q _T = [0 ≤ x ≤ l] × [0 ≤ t ≤ T] with zero initial conditions and with the boundary conditions u(0, t) = μ(t) ∈ L _p [0, T ], u(l, t) = 0, has a unique generalized solution u(x, t) in the class L _p (Q _T ) for p ≥ 1. We construct the solution in explicit analytic form.     

Coverings over lax integrable equations and their nonlocal symmetries

We consider the three-dimensional rdDym equation u_ty = u_xu_xy ?u_yu_xx. Using the known Lax representation with a nonremovable parameter and two hierarchies of nonlocal conservation laws associated with it, we describe the algebras of nonlocal symmetries in the corresponding coverings.     

Singularly perturbed two-dimensional parabolic problem in the case of intersecting roots of the reduced equation

The singularly perturbed parabolic equation ?u _t + ε²Δu ? f(u, x, ε) = 0, x ∈ D ? ?², t > 0 with Robin conditions on the boundary of D is considered. The asymptotic stability as t → ∞ and the global domain of attraction are analyzed for the stationary solution whose limit as ε → 0 is a nonsmooth solution to the reduced equation f(u, x, 0) = 0 that consists of two intersecting roots of this equation.     

Existence and concentration behavior of sign-changing solutions for quasilinear Schrödinger equations

We consider the quasilinear Schrödinger equations of the form ?ε²Δu + V(x)u ? ε²Δ(u²)u = g(u), x∈ R^N, where ε > 0 is a small parameter, the nonlinearity g(u) ∈ C¹(R) is an odd function with subcritical growth and V(x) is a positive Hölder continuous function which is bounded from below, away from zero, and inf_ΛV(x) < inf?_ΛV(x) for some open bounded subset Λ of R^N. We prove that there is an ε₀ > 0 such that for all ε ∈ (0, ε₀], the above mentioned problem possesses a sign-changing solution uε which exhibits concentration profile around the local minimum point of V(x) as ε → 0⁺.     

Finite time extinction of super-Brownian motions with deterministic catalyst

In this paper we consider a super-Brownian motion X with branching mechanism k(x)zα, where k(x) > 0 is a bounded Holder continuous function on Rd and infx∈Rd k(x) = 0. We prove that if k(x) ≥ //x// -l(0 ≤l < ∞) for sufficiently large x, then X has compact support property, and for dimension d = 1, if k(x) ≥exp(-l‖x‖)(0≤l < ∞) for sufficiently large x, then X also has compact support property. The maximal order of k(x) for finite time extinction is different between d = 1, d = 2 and d ≥ 3: it is O(‖x‖-(α+1)) in one dimension, O(‖x‖-2(log‖x‖)-(α+1) ) in two dimensions, and O(‖x‖2) in higher dimensions. These growth orders also turn out to be the maximum order for the nonexistence of a positive solution for 1/2Δu =k(x)uα.     

On iterative methods for solving equations with covering mappings

In this paper we propose an iterative method for solving the equation Υ(x, x) = y, where the mapping Υ acts in metric spaces and is covering in the first argument and Lipschitzian in the second one. Each subsequent element x _i+1 of the sequence of iterations is defined by the previous one as a solution to the equation Υ(x, x _i) = y _i, where y _i can be an arbitrary point sufficiently close to y. Conditions for convergence and error estimates are obtained. The method proposed is an iterative development of the Arutyunov method for finding coincidence points of mappings. In order to determine x _i+1 in practical implementation of the method in linear normed spaces, it is proposed to perform one step by using the Newton–Kantorovich method. The thus-obtained method of solving the equation of the form Υ(x, u) = ψ(x) ? φ(u) coincides with the iterative method proposed by A.I. Zinchenko,M.A. Krasnosel’skii, and I.A. Kusakin.     

LIE SYMMETRY ANALYSIS AND PAINLEVE ANALYSIS OF THE NEW （2＋1）-DIMENSIONAL KdV EQUATION

Lie point symmetries associated with the new （2＋1）-dimensional KdV equation ut ＋ 3uxuy ＋ uxxy = 0 are investigated. Some similarity reductions are derived by solving the corresponding characteristic equations. Painlevé analysis for this equation is also presented and the soliton solution is obtained directly from the Bǎcklund transformation.     

Partial Gaussian Bounds for Degenerate Differential Operators

Let S be the semigroup on \(L_2({{\bf R}}^d)\) generated by a degenerate elliptic operator, formally equal to \(- \sum \partial_k \, c_{kl} \, \partial_l\), where the coefficients c _kl are real bounded measurable and the matrix C(x)?=?(c _kl (x)) is symmetric and positive semi-definite for all x?∈?R ^d . Let Ω???R ^d be a bounded Lipschitz domain and μ?>?0. Suppose that C(x)?≥?μ I for all x?∈?Ω. We show that the operator P _Ω S _t P _Ω has a kernel satisfying Gaussian bounds and Gaussian Hölder bounds, where P _Ω is the projection of \(L_2({{\bf R}}^d)\) onto L ₂(Ω). Similar results are for the operators u ? χ S _t (χ u), where \(\chi \in C_{\rm b}^\infty({{\bf R}}^d)\) and C(x)?≥?μI for all \(x \in {\mathop{\rm supp}} \chi\).     

Cauchy problem for the Korteweg-de Vries equation in the case of a nonsmooth unbounded initial function

In the strip П = (?1, 0) × ?, we establish the existence of solutions of the Cauchy problem for the Korteweg-de Vries equation u _t + u _xxx + uu _x = 0 with initial condition either 1) u(?1, x) = ?xθ(x), or 2) u(?1, x) = ?xθ(?x), where θ is the Heaviside function. The solutions constructed in this paper are infinitely smooth for t ∈ (?1, 0) and rapidly decreasing as x → +∞. For the case of the first initial condition, we also establish uniqueness in a certain class. Similar special solutions of the KdV equation arise in the study of the asymptotic behavior with respect to small dispersion of the solutions of certain model problems in a neighborhood of lines of weak discontinuity.     

On the curve of critical exponents for nonlinear elliptic problems in the case of a zero mass

For semilinear elliptic equations ?Δu = λ|u| ^p?2 u?|u| ^q?2 u, boundary value problems in bounded and unbounded domains are considered. In the plane of exponents p × q, the so-called curves of critical exponents are defined that divide this plane into domains with qualitatively different properties of the boundary value problems and the corresponding parabolic equations. New solvability conditions for boundary value problems, conditions for the stability and instability of stationary solutions, and conditions for the existence of global solutions to parabolic equations are found.
