A new proof of Harnack's inequality for elliptic partial differential equations in divergence form.
In this paper, we present a new proof of the celebrated theorem of Kellerer, stating that every integrable process, which increases in the convex order, has the same one-dimensional marginals as a martingale. Our proof proceeds by approximations, and calls upon martingales constructed as solutions of stochastic differential equations. It relies on a uniqueness result, due to Pierre, for a Fokker-Planck equation.

Let be a linear partial differential operator with analytic coefficients. We assume that is of the form “sum of squares”, satisfying Hörmander’s bracket condition. Let be a characteristic point for . We assume that lies on a symplectic Poisson stratum of codimension two. General results of Okaji show that is analytic hypoelliptic at . Hence Okaji has established the validity of Treves’ conjecture in the codimension two case. Our goal here is to give a simple, self-contained proof of...
A regularity criterion for strong solutions of the Ericksen-Leslie equations is established in terms of both the pressure and orientation field in homogeneous multiplier spaces.
The motion of an incompressible fluid confined to a shallow basin with a slightly varying bottom topography is considered. Coriolis force, surface wind and pressure stresses, together with bottom and lateral friction stresses are taken into account. We introduce appropriate scalings into a three-dimensional anisotropic eddy viscosity model; after averaging on the vertical direction and considering some asymptotic assumptions, we obtain a two-dimensional model, which approximates the three-dimensional...

This paper is devoted to the spectral analysis of a non elliptic operator , deriving from the study of superconducting micro-strip lines. Once a sufficient condition for the self-adjointness of operator has been derived, we determine its continuous spectrum. Then, we show that is unbounded from below and that it has a sequence of negative eigenvalues tending to . Using the Min-Max principle, a characterization of its positive eigenvalues is given. Thanks to this characterization, some conditions...
This paper is devoted to the spectral analysis of a non elliptic operator A , deriving from the study of superconducting micro-strip lines. Once a sufficient condition for the self-adjointness of operator A has been derived, we determine its continuous spectrum. Then, we show that A is unbounded from below and that it has a sequence of negative eigenvalues tending to -∞. Using the Min-Max principle, a characterization of its positive eigenvalues is given. Thanks to this characterization, some...
