A New Proof of Okaji’s Theorem for a Class of Sum of Squares Operators

Paulo D. Cordaro, Nicholas Hanges (2009)

Annales de l’institut Fourier

Let P be a linear partial differential operator with analytic coefficients. We assume that P is of the form “sum of squares”, satisfying Hörmander’s bracket condition. Let q be a characteristic point for P . We assume that q lies on a symplectic Poisson stratum of codimension two. General results of Okaji show that P is analytic hypoelliptic at q . 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 new two-dimensional shallow water model including pressure effects and slow varying bottom topography

Stefania Ferrari, Fausto Saleri (2004)

ESAIM: Mathematical Modelling and Numerical Analysis - Modélisation Mathématique et Analyse Numérique

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...

A non elliptic spectral problem related to the analysis of superconducting micro-strip lines

Anne-Sophie Bonnet-Bendhia, Karim Ramdani (2002)

ESAIM: Mathematical Modelling and Numerical Analysis - Modélisation Mathématique et Analyse Numérique

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 conditions...

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...
