We show the existence of weak solutions in the extended sense of the Cauchy problem for the cubic fourth order nonlinear Schrödinger equation with the initial data $u_0\in X$, where $X\in \{M_{2,q}^s\left(ℝ\right),H^{\sigma }\left(𝕋\right),H^{s_1}\left(ℝ\right)+H^{s_2}\left(𝕋\right)\}$ and $q\in [1,2]$, $s\ge 0$, or $\sigma \ge 0$, or $s_2\ge s_1\ge 0$. Moreover, if $M_{2,q}^s\left(ℝ\right)\hookrightarrow L^3\left(ℝ\right)$, or if $\sigma \ge \frac{1}{6}$, or if $s_1\ge \frac{1}{6}$ and $s_2>\frac{1}{2}$ we show that the Cauchy problem is unconditionally wellposed in $X$. Similar results hold true for all higher order nonlinear Schrödinger equations and mixed order NLS due to a factorization property of the corresponding phase factors. For the proof we employ the normal...

We consider the Navier-Stokes equations in unbounded domains $\Omega \subseteq {ℝ}^n$ of uniform $C^{1,1}$-type. We construct mild solutions for initial values in certain extrapolation spaces associated to the Stokes operator on these domains. Here we rely on recent results due to Farwig, Kozono and Sohr, the fact that the Stokes operator has a bounded $H^{\infty }$-calculus on such domains, and use a general form of Kato’s method. We also obtain information on the corresponding pressure term.

We investigate the $L_p$-spectrum of linear operators defined consistently on $L_p\left(\Omega \right)$ for p₀ ≤ p ≤ p₁, where (Ω,μ) is an arbitrary σ-finite measure space and 1 ≤ p₀ < p₁ ≤ ∞. We prove p-independence of the $L_p$-spectrum assuming weighted norm estimates. The assumptions are formulated in terms of a measurable semi-metric d on (Ω,μ); the balls with respect to this semi-metric are required to satisfy a subexponential volume growth condition. We show how previous results on $L_p$-spectral independence can be treated...

Given a strongly continuous semigroup ${\left(S\left(t\right)\right)}_{t\ge 0}$ on a Banach space X with generator A and an element f ∈ D(A²) satisfying $\left|\right|S\left(t\right)f\left|\right|\le e^{-\omega t}\left|\right|f\left|\right|$ and $\left|\right|S\left(t\right)A²f\left|\right|\le e^{-\omega t}\left|\right|A²f\left|\right|$ for all t ≥ 0 and some ω > 0, we derive a Landau type inequality for ||Af|| in terms of ||f|| and ||A²f||. This inequality improves on the usual Landau inequality that holds in the case ω = 0.

We give criteria for domination of strongly continuous semigroups in ordered Banach spaces that are not necessarily lattices, and thus obtain generalizations of certain results known in the lattice case. We give applications to semigroups generated by differential operators in function spaces which are not lattices.

We prove the existence of functions $f\in A\left(𝔻\right)$, the Fourier series of which being universally divergent on countable subsets of $𝕋=\partial 𝔻$. The proof is based on a uniform estimate of the Taylor polynomials of Landau’s extremal functions on $𝕋\setminus \left\{1\right\}$.

In ordered Banach algebras, we introduce eventually and asymptotically positive elements. We give conditions for the following spectral properties: the spectral radius belongs to the spectrum (Perron--Frobenius property); the spectral radius is the only element in the peripheral spectrum; there are positive (approximate) eigenvectors for the spectral radius. Recently such types of results have been shown for operators on Banach lattices. Our results can be viewed as a complement, since our structural...

We introduce various classes of distribution semigroups distinguished by their behavior at the origin. We relate them to quasi-distribution semigroups and integrated semigroups. A class of such semigroups, called strong distribution semigroups, is characterized through the value at the origin in the sense of Łojasiewicz. It contains smooth distribution semigroups as a subclass. Moreover, the analysis of the behavior at the origin involves intrinsic structural results for semigroups. To this purpose,...
