Some Remarks on Vector Potentials for Maxwell's Equations in Space-Time Carnot Groups

Annalisa BaldiBruno Franchi — 2012

Bollettino dell'Unione Matematica Italiana

In this paper we prove a Γ -convergence result for time-depending variational functionals in a space-time Carnot group × 𝔾 arising in the study of Maxwell's equations in the group. Indeed, a Carnot groups 𝔾 (a connected simply connected nilpotent stratified Lie group) can be endowed with a complex of ``intrinsic'' differential forms that provide the natural setting for a class of ``intrinsic'' Maxwell's equations. Our main results states precisely that a the vector potentials of a solution of Maxwell's...

De Giorgi’s Theorem, for a Class of Strongly Degenerate Elliptic Equations

Bruno FranchiErmanno Lanconelli — 1982

Atti della Accademia Nazionale dei Lincei. Classe di Scienze Fisiche, Matematiche e Naturali. Rendiconti Lincei. Matematica e Applicazioni

In questa Nota enunciamo, per una classe di equazioni ellittiche del secondo ordine «fortemente degeneri» a coefficienti misurabili, un teorema di hölderianità delle soluzioni deboli che estende il ben noto risultato di De Giorgi e Nash. Tale risuJtato discende dalle proprietà geometriche di opportune famiglie di sfere associate agli operatori.

Gehring's lemma for metrics and higher integrability of the gradient for minimizers of noncoercive variational functionals

Bruno FranchiFrancesco Serra Cassano — 1996

Studia Mathematica

We prove a higher integrability result - similar to Gehring's lemma - for the metric space associated with a family of Lipschitz continuous vector fields by means of sub-unit curves. Applications are given to show the higher integrability of the gradient of minimizers of some noncoercive variational functionals.

Existence and properties of the Green function for a class of degenerate parabolic equations.

José C. FernandesBruno Franchi — 1996

Revista Matemática Iberoamericana

It is known that degenerate parabolic equations exhibit somehow different phenomena when we compare them with their elliptic counterparts. Thus, the problem of existence and properties of the Green function for degenerate parabolic boundary value problems is not completely solved, even after the contributions of [GN] and [GW4], in the sense that the existence problem is still open, even if the a priori estimates proved in [GN] will be crucial in our approach (...).

Esistenza e unicità degli stati fondamentali per equazioni ellittiche quasilineari

Bruno FranchiErmanno LanconelliJames Serrin — 1985

Atti della Accademia Nazionale dei Lincei. Classe di Scienze Fisiche, Matematiche e Naturali. Rendiconti Lincei. Matematica e Applicazioni

In this paper we describe some existence and uniqueness theorems for radial ground states of a class of quasilinear elliptic equations. In particular, the mean curvature operator and the degenerate Laplace operator are considered.

Courbure et sous-ensembles de courbes rectifiables dans le groupe de Heisenberg

Fausto FerrariBruno FranchiHervé Pajot

Séminaire Équations aux dérivées partielles

Nous présentons une condition suffisante pour qu’un compact dans le groupe de Heisenberg (muni de sa structure de Carnot-Carathéodory) soit contenu dans une courbe rectifiable. Cette condition est aussi nécessaire dans le cas de courbes régulières (en particulier, des géodésiques) et elle est inspirée du lemme géométrique faible du à Peter Jones dans le cas euclidien. Cette note repose sur l’exposé fait par le troisième auteur (au Séminaire X-EDP) et décrit les principaux résultats de l’article...

In questa nota diamo alcuni risultati su di una classe di problemi al contorno per equazioni ellittiche a coefficienti polinomiali in un semispazio. Si stabilisce 1'esistenza di una parametrice destra e di una parametrice sinistra del problema; si stabiliscono inoltre stime a priori del problema e di quello aggiunto.

B V spaces and rectifiability for Carnot-Carathéodory metrics: an introduction

Franchi, Bruno — 2003

Nonlinear Analysis, Function Spaces and Applications

This paper is meant as a (short and partial) introduction to the study of the geometry of Carnot groups and, more generally, of Carnot-Carathéodory spaces associated with a family of Lipschitz continuous vector fields. My personal interest in this field goes back to a series of joint papers with E. Lanconelli, where this notion was exploited for the study of pointwise regularity of weak solutions to degenerate elliptic partial differential equations. As stated in the title, here we are mainly concerned...

Differentiability and Approximate Differentiability for Intrinsic Lipschitz Functions in Carnot Groups and a Rademacher Theorem

Bruno FranchiMarco MarchiRaul Paolo Serapioni — 2014

Analysis and Geometry in Metric Spaces

A Carnot group G is a connected, simply connected, nilpotent Lie group with stratified Lie algebra. We study intrinsic Lipschitz graphs and intrinsic differentiable graphs within Carnot groups. Both seem to be the natural analogues inside Carnot groups of the corresponding Euclidean notions. Here ‘natural’ is meant to stress that the intrinsic notions depend only on the structure of the algebra of G. We prove that one codimensional intrinsic Lipschitz graphs are sets with locally finite G-perimeter....

Representation formulas and weighted Poincaré inequalities for Hörmander vector fields

Bruno FranchiGuozhen LuRichard L. Wheeden — 1995

Annales de l'institut Fourier

We derive weighted Poincaré inequalities for vector fields which satisfy the Hörmander condition, including new results in the unweighted case. We also derive a new integral representation formula for a function in terms of the vector fields applied to the function. As a corollary of the L 1 versions of Poincaré’s inequality, we obtain relative isoperimetric inequalities.

Two-weight Sobolev-Poincaré inequalities and Harnack inequality for a class of degenerate elliptic operators

Bruno FranchiCristian E. GutiérrezRichard L. Wheeden — 1994

Atti della Accademia Nazionale dei Lincei. Classe di Scienze Fisiche, Matematiche e Naturali. Rendiconti Lincei. Matematica e Applicazioni

In this Note we prove a two-weight Sobolev-Poincaré inequality for the function spaces associated with a Grushin type operator. Conditions on the weights are formulated in terms of a strong A weight with respect to the metric associated with the operator. Roughly speaking, the strong A condition provides relationships between line and solid integrals of the weight. Then, this result is applied in order to prove Harnack's inequality for positive weak solutions of some degenerate elliptic equations....
