The mean curvature measure

Quiyi Dai, Neil S. Trudinger, Xu-Jia Wang (2012)

Journal of the European Mathematical Society

We assign a measure to an upper semicontinuous function which is subharmonic with respect to the mean curvature operator, so that it agrees with the mean curvature of its graph when the function is smooth. We prove that the measure is weakly continuous with respect to almost everywhere convergence. We also establish a sharp Harnack inequality for the minimal surface equation, which is crucial for our proof of the weak continuity. As an application we prove the existence of weak solutions to the...

The multiple layer potential for the biharmonic equation in n variables

Alberto Cialdea (1992)

Atti della Accademia Nazionale dei Lincei. Classe di Scienze Fisiche, Matematiche e Naturali. Rendiconti Lincei. Matematica e Applicazioni

The definition of multiple layer potential for the biharmonic equation in R n is given. In order to represent the solution of Dirichlet problem by means of such a potential, a singular integral system, whose symbol determinant identically vanishes, is considered. The concept of bilateral reduction is introduced and employed for investigating such a system.

The Neumann problem for the Laplace equation on general domains

Dagmar Medková (2007)

Czechoslovak Mathematical Journal

The solution of the weak Neumann problem for the Laplace equation with a distribution as a boundary condition is studied on a general open set G in the Euclidean space. It is shown that the solution of the problem is the sum of a constant and the Newtonian potential corresponding to a distribution with finite energy supported on G . If we look for a solution of the problem in this form we get a bounded linear operator. Under mild assumptions on G a necessary and sufficient condition for the solvability...

The Pluripolar Hull and the Fine Topology

Armen Edigarian (2005)

Bulletin of the Polish Academy of Sciences. Mathematics

We show that the projections of the pluripolar hull of the graph of an analytic function in a subdomain of the complex plane are open in the fine topology.

The Poincaré Inequality Does Not Improve with Blow-Up

Andrea Schioppa (2016)

Analysis and Geometry in Metric Spaces

For each β > 1 we construct a family Fβ of metric measure spaces which is closed under the operation of taking weak-tangents (i.e. blow-ups), and such that each element of Fβ admits a (1, P)-Poincaré inequality if and only if P > β.

The Poisson integral for a ball in spaces of constant curvature

Eleutherius Symeonidis (2003)

Commentationes Mathematicae Universitatis Carolinae

We present explicit expressions of the Poisson kernels for geodesic balls in the higher dimensional spheres and real hyperbolic spaces. As a consequence, the Dirichlet problem for the projective space is explicitly solved. Comparison of different expressions for the same Poisson kernel lead to interesting identities concerning special functions.
