Degeneracy in the Blasius problem.
The present paper is concerned with the study of the differential operator Au(x):=α(x)u”(x)+β(x)u’(x) in the space C([0,1)] and of its adjoint Bv(x):=((αv)’(x)-β(x)v(x))’ in the space , where α(x):=x(1-x)/2 (0≤x≤1). A careful analysis of their main properties is carried out in view of some generation results available in [6, 12, 20] and [25]. In addition, we introduce and study two different kinds of Beta-type operators as a generalization of similar operators defined in [18]. Among the corresponding...
A special case of G-equivariant degree is defined, where G = ℤ₂, and the action is determined by an involution given by T(u,v) = (u,-v). The presented construction is self-contained. It is also shown that two T-equivariant gradient maps are T-homotopic iff they are gradient T-homotopic. This is an equivariant generalization of the result due to Parusiński.
We construct a degree theory for Vanishing Mean Oscillation functions in metric spaces, following some ideas of Brezis & Nirenberg. The underlying sets of our metric spaces are bounded open subsets of and their boundaries. Then, we apply our results in order to analyze the surjectivity properties of the -harmonic extensions of VMO vector-valued functions. The operators we are dealing with are second order linear differential operators sum of squares of vector fields satisfying the hypoellipticity...
We show that if (Tₙ) is a hypercyclic sequence of linear operators on a locally convex space and (Sₙ) is a sequence of linear operators such that the image of each orbit under every linear functional is non-dense then the sequence (Tₙ + Sₙ) has dense range. Furthermore, it is proved that if T,S are commuting linear operators in such a way that T is hypercyclic and all orbits under S satisfy the above non-denseness property then T - S has dense range. Corresponding statements for operators and sequences...
The Bishop-Phelps Theorem states that the set of (bounded and linear) functionals on a Banach space that attain their norms is dense in the dual. In the complex case, Lomonosov proved that there may be a closed, convex and bounded subset C of a Banach space such that the set of functionals whose maximum modulus is attained on C is not dense in the dual. This paper contains a survey of versions for operators, multilinear forms and polynomials of the Bishop-Phelps Theorem. Lindenstrauss provided examples...
In a former paper we describe the geometric properties of the space of continuous functions with values in the space of operators acting on a Hilbert space. In particular we show that dent B(L(H)) = ext B(L(H)) if dim H < 8 and card K < 8 and dent B(L(H)) = 0 if dim H < 8 or card K = 8, and x-ext C(K,L(H)) = ext C(K,L(H)).
The realization of an elliptic operator A under suitable boundary conditions is considered and the dependence of the square-root of A from the various conditions is studied.
