Explicit uniform bounds on integrals of Bessel functions and trace theorems for Fourier transforms

Explicit and partly sharp estimates are given of integrals over the square of Bessel functions with an integrable weight which can be singular at the origin. They are uniform with respect to the order of the Bessel functions and provide explicit bounds for some smoothing estimates as well as for the L² restrictions of Fourier transforms onto spheres in which are independent of the radius of the sphere. For more special weights these restrictions are shown to be Hölder continuous with a Hölder constant having this independence as well. To illustrate the use of these results a uniform resolvent estimate of the free Dirac operator with mass in dimensions is derived.     

Continuous dependence on data for bilocal difference equations

The continuous dependence on data is studied for a class of second order difference equations governed by a maximal monotone operator A in a Hilbert space. A nonhomogeneous term f appears in the equation and some bilocal boundary conditions a, b are added. One shows that the function which associates to {a, b, A, f} the solution of this boundary value problem is continuous in a specific sense. One uses the convergence of a sequence of operators in the sense of the resolvent. The problem studied here is the discrete variant of a problem from the continuous case.     

Exact controllability and continuous dependence of fractional neutral integro-differential equations with state-dependent delay

In the present paper, with the help of the resolvent operator and some analytic methods, the exact controllability and continuous dependence are investigated for a fractional neutral integro-differential equations with state-dependent delay. As an application, we also give one example to demonstrate our results.     

Maximum Norm Resolvent Estimates for Elliptic Finite Element Operators

We study a finite element approximation A _h, based on simplicial Lagrange elements, of a second order elliptic operator A under homogeneous Dirichlet boundary conditions in two and three dimensions, where h is thought of as a meshsize. The main result of the paper is a new resolvent estimate for the operator A _h in the L -norm. This estimate is uniform with respect to h for the case with at least quadratic elements. In the case with linear elements, the estimate contains on the right a factor proportional to (log log ), where = 1 or = in two or three dimensions, respectively.This revised version was published online in October 2005 with corrections to the Cover Date.     

Regular approximation of singular self-adjoint differential operators

Given a singular self-adjoint differential operator of order 2n with real coefficients we constructtwo sequences of regular self-adjoint differential expressions^r which converge to ina generalized sense of resolvent convergence. The first constructionis suitable when no information about the real resolvent setof is available. The second is suitablewhen we know a real point of the resolvent set of .The main application of this construction is in numerical solutionof singular differential equations.

Additive Kernels and Integral Representation of Potentials

Let P=(P _t ) _t>0 be a submarkovian semigroup of kernels on a measurable space (X,). An additive kernel of P is a kernel K from X into ]0,[ such that P _t K(x,A)=K(x,A+t) for every t>0,xX and every Borel subset A of ]0,[. It is proved in this paper that for every potential f of P, there exits an additive kernel K of P, unique (up to equivalence) such that f=K1=₀ K(,dt). This result is already well known for regular potentials of right processes. If U=(U _p ) _p>0 is a sub-Markovian resolvent of kernels on (X,), we give a notion of additive kernel of U and we prove a similar integral representation of potentials of U.     

S‐asymptotically ω‐periodic solutions for semilinear Volterra equations

We study S‐asymptotically ω‐periodic mild solutions of the semilinear Volterra equation u′(t)=(a* Au)(t)+f(t, u(t)), considered in a Banach space X, where A is the generator of an (exponentially) stable resolvent family. In particular, we extend the recent results for semilinear fractional integro‐differential equations considered in (Appl. Math. Lett. 2009; 22:865–870) and for semilinear Cauchy problems of first order given in (J. Math. Anal. Appl. 2008; 343(2): 1119–1130). Applications to integral equations arising in viscoelasticity theory are shown. Copyright © 2010 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
