The Lévy laplacian and differential operators of 2-nd order in Hilbert spaces

Roman Lávička (1998)

Commentationes Mathematicae Universitatis Carolinae

We shall show that every differential operator of 2-nd order in a real separable Hilbert space can be decomposed into a regular and an irregular operator. Then we shall characterize irregular operators and differential operators satisfying the maximum principle. Results obtained for the Lévy laplacian in [3] will be generalized for irregular differential operators satisfying the maximum principle.

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...
