Asymptotic behavior for coupled abstract evolution equations with one infinite memory

In this paper, we consider two coupled abstract linear evolution equations with one infinite memory acting on the first equation. Our work is motivated by the recent results of [42], where the authors considered the case of two wave equations with one convolution kernel converging exponentially to zero at infinity, and proved the lack of exponential decay. On the other hand, the authors of [42] proved that the solutions decay polynomially at infinity with a decay rate depending on the regularity of the initial data. Under a boundedness condition on the past history data, we prove that the stability of our abstract system holds for convolution kernels having much weaker decay rates than the exponential one. The general and precise decay estimate of solution we obtain depends on the growth of the convolution kernel at infinity, the regularity of the initial data, and the connection between the operators describing the considered equations. We also present various applications to some distributed coupled systems such as wave-wave, Petrovsky-Petrovsky, wave-Petrovsky, and elasticity-elasticity.     

On a mathematical model of age‐cycle length structured cell population with non‐compact boundary conditions

This work deals with a mathematical model of an age‐cycle length structured cell population. Each cell is distinguished by its age and its cycle length. The cellular mitosis is mathematically described by non‐compact boundary conditions. We prove then that this mathematical model is governed by a positive C₀‐semigroup.

Harris-type results on geometric and subgeometric convergence to equilibrium for stochastic semigroups

We provide simple and constructive proofs of Harris-type theorems on the existence and uniqueness of an equilibrium and the speed of equilibration of discrete-time and continuous-time stochastic semigroups. Our results apply both to cases where the relaxation speed is exponential (also called geometric) and to those with no spectral gap, with non-exponential speeds (also called subgeometric). We give constructive estimates in the subgeometric case and discrete-time statements which seem both to be new. The method of proof also differs from previous works, based on semigroup and interpolation arguments, valid for both geometric and subgeometric cases with essentially the same ideas. In particular, we present very simple new proofs of the geometric case.     

Norm-ideal perturbations of one-parameter semigroups and applications

The notion of equivalence classes of generators of one-parameter semigroups based on the convergence of the Dyson expansion can be traced back to the seminal work of Hille and Phillips, who in Chapter XIII of the 1957 edition of their Functional Analysis monograph, developed the theory in minute detail. Following their approach of regarding the Dyson expansion as a central object, in the first part of this paper we examine a general framework for perturbation of generators relative to the Schatten-von Neumann ideals on Hilbert spaces. This allows us to develop a graded family of equivalence relations on generators, which refine the classical notion and provide stronger-than-expected properties of convergence for the tail of the perturbation series. We then show how this framework realises in the context of non-self-adjoint Schrödinger operators.     

The fractional porous medium equation on manifolds with conical singularities II

This is the second of a series of two papers that studies the fractional porous medium equation, ${\partial }_{t}u+{(-\mathrm{\Delta })}^{\sigma }{(|u|}^{m-1}u)=0$ with $m>0$ and $\sigma \in (0,1]$, posed on a Riemannian manifold with isolated conical singularities. The first aim of the article is to derive some useful properties for the Mellin–Sobolev spaces including the Rellich–Kondrachov theorem and Sobolev–Poincaré, Nash and Super Poincaré type inequalities. The second part of the article is devoted to the study the Markovian extensions of the conical Laplacian operator and its fractional powers. Then based on the obtained results, we establish existence and uniqueness of a global strong solution for $L_{\infty }-$initial data and all $m>0$. We further investigate a number of properties of the solutions, including comparison principle, $L_p-$contraction and conservation of mass. Our approach is quite general and thus is applicable to a variety of similar problems on manifolds with more general singularities.
