In this note, we verify the conjecture of Barron, Evans and Jensen [3] regarding the characterization of viscosity solutions of general Aronsson equations in terms of the properties of associated forward and backwards Hamilton-Jacobi flows. A special case of this result is analogous to the characterization of infinity harmonic functions in terms of convexity and concavity of the functions and , respectively.
We establish trace theorems for function spaces defined on general Ahlfors regular metric spaces Z. The results cover the Triebel-Lizorkin spaces and the Besov spaces for smoothness indices s < 1, as well as the first order Hajłasz-Sobolev space M1,p(Z). They generalize the classical results from the Euclidean setting, since the traces of these function spaces onto any closed Ahlfors regular subset F ⊂ Z are Besov spaces defined intrinsically on F. Our method employs the definitions of the function...
The objective of our note is to prove that, at least for a convex domain, the ground state of the p-Laplacian operator
Δpu = div (|∇u|p-2 ∇u)
is a superharmonic function, provided that 2 ≤ p ≤ ∞. The ground state of Δp is the positive solution with boundary values zero of the equation
div(|∇u|p-2 ∇u) + λ |u|p-2 u = 0
in the bounded domain Ω in the n-dimensional...
Let and be the unit circle and the unit disc in the plane and let us denote by the algebra of the complex-valued continuous functions on which are traces of functions in the Sobolev class . On we define the following norm where is the harmonic extension of to . We prove that every isomorphism of the functional algebra is a quasitsymmetric change of variables on .
For each S ∈ L(E) (with E a Banach space) the operator R(S) ∈ L(E**/E) is defined by R(S)(x** + E) = S**x** + E(x** ∈ E**). We study mapping properties of the correspondence S → R(S), which provides a representation R of the weak Calkin algebra L(E)/W(E) (here W(E) denotes the weakly compact operators on E). Our results display strongly varying behaviour of R. For instance, there are no non-zero compact operators in Im(R) in the case of and C(0,1), but R(L(E)/W(E)) identifies isometrically with...
