Let A = -Δ + V be a Schrödinger operator on ${ℝ}^d$, d ≥ 3, where V is a nonnegative potential satisfying the reverse Hölder inequality with an exponent q > d/2. We say that f is an element of $H_A^p$ if the maximal function $su{p}_{t>0}\left|T_{t}f\left(x\right)\right|$ belongs to $L^p\left({ℝ}^d\right)$, where ${T_t}_{t>0}$ is the semigroup generated by -A. It is proved that for d/(d+1) < p ≤ 1 the space $H_A^p$ admits a special atomic decomposition.

We address the problem of the existence of finite energy solitary waves for nonlinear Klein-Gordon or Schrödinger type equations $\Delta u-u+f\left(u\right)=0$ in ${ℝ}^N$, $u\in H^1\left({ℝ}^N\right)$, where $N\ge 2$. Under natural conditions on the nonlinearity $f$, we prove the existence of $\mathrm{𝑖𝑛𝑓𝑖𝑛𝑖𝑡𝑒𝑙𝑦𝑚𝑎𝑛𝑦𝑛𝑜𝑛𝑟𝑎𝑑𝑖𝑎𝑙𝑠𝑜𝑙𝑢𝑡𝑖𝑜𝑛𝑠}$ in any dimension $N\ge 2$. Our result complements earlier works of Bartsch and Willem $(N=4\mathrm{𝚘𝚛}N\ge 6)$ and Lorca-Ubilla $(N=5)$ where solutions invariant under the action of $O\left(2\right)\times O(N-2)$ are constructed. In contrast, the solutions we construct are invariant under the action of $D_k\times O(N-2)$ where $D_k\subset O\left(2\right)$ denotes the dihedral...

For a real number $q>1$ and a positive integer $m$, let $Y_m\left(q\right):=\left\{{\sum }_{i=0}^n{ϵ}_i{q}^i:{ϵ}_i\in \left\{0,\pm 1,...,\pm m\right\},n=0,1,...\right\}$. In this paper, we show that $Y_m\left(q\right)$ is dense in $ℝ$ if and only if $q<m+1$ and $q$ is not a Pisot number. This completes several previous results and answers an open question raised by Erdös, Joó and Komornik [8].

We give new results on square functions $${\parallel x\parallel }_F=\parallel {\left({\int }_0^{\infty }{\left|F\left(tA\right)x\right|}^2\frac{\mathrm{d}t}{t}\right)}^{1/2}{\parallel }_p$$ associated to a sectorial operator $A$ on $L^p$ for $1\&lt;p\&lt;\infty$. Under the assumption that $A$ is actually $R$-sectorial, we prove equivalences of the form $K^{-1}{\parallel x\parallel }_G\le {\parallel x\parallel }_F\le K{\parallel x\parallel }_G$ for suitable functions $F,G$. We also show that $A$ has a bounded $H^{\infty }$ functional calculus with respect to ${\parallel .\parallel }_F$. Then we apply our results to the study of conditions under which we have an estimate $\parallel {({\int }_0^{\infty }|C{\mathrm{e}}^{-tA}{\left(x\right)|}^2\mathrm{d}t{)}^{1/2}\parallel }_q\le M{\parallel x\parallel }_p$, when $-A$ generates a bounded semigroup ${\mathrm{e}}^{-tA}$ on $L^p$ and $C:D\left(A\right)\to L^q$ is a linear mapping.

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...

Let $\mu$ be a probability measure on $[0,1]$ which is invariant and ergodic for $T_a\left(x\right)=ax\mathrm{𝚖𝚘𝚍}1$, and $0<\mathrm{𝚍𝚒𝚖}\mu <1$. Let $f$ be a local diffeomorphism on some open set. We show that if $E\subseteq ℝ$ and $\left(f\mu \right){\left|{}_E\sim \mu \right|}_E$, then $f^{\text{'}}\left(x\right)\in \left\{\pm a^r:r\in \mathbb{Q}\right\}$ at $\mu$-a.e. point $x\in f^{-1}E$. In particular, if $g$ is a piecewise-analytic map preserving $\mu$ then there is an open $g$-invariant set $U$ containing supp $\mu$ such that $g\left|{}_U\right.$ is piecewise-linear with slopes which are rational powers of $a$. In a similar vein, for $\mu$ as above, if $b$ is another integer and $a,b$ are not powers of a common integer, and if $\nu$ is...

We present a novel approach for bounding the resolvent of $$H=-\Delta +i(A·\nabla +\nabla ·A)+V=:-\Delta +L1$$ for large energies. It is shown here that there exist a large integer $m$ and a large number ${\lambda }_0$ so that relative to the usual weighted $L^2$-norm, $$\parallel {\left(L{(-\Delta +(\lambda +i0))}^{-1}\right)}^m\parallel <\frac{1}{2}2$$ for all $\lambda >{\lambda }_0$. This requires suitable decay and smoothness conditions on $A,V$. The estimate (2) is trivial when $A=0$, but difficult for large $A$ since the gradient term exactly cancels the natural decay of the free resolvent. To obtain (2), we introduce a conical decomposition of the resolvent and...

Let $P\left(z\right)={\sum }_{\nu =0}^n{a}_{\nu }{z}^{\nu }$ be a polynomial of degree at most $n$ which does not vanish in the disk $\left|z\right|<1$, then for $1\le p<\infty$ and $R>1$, Boas and Rahman proved $${∥P\left(Rz\right)∥}_p\le ({∥R^n+z∥}_p/{∥1+z∥}_p){∥P∥}_p.$$ In this paper, we improve the above inequality for $0\le p<\infty$ by involving some of the coefficients of the polynomial $P\left(z\right)$. Analogous result for the class of polynomials $P\left(z\right)$ having no zero in $\left|z\right|>1$ is also given.

Let ${ℒ}_1=-\Delta +V$ be a Schrödinger operator and let ${ℒ}_2={(-\Delta )}^2+V^2$ be a Schrödinger type operator on ${ℝ}^n$ $(n\ge 5)$, where $V\ne 0$ is a nonnegative potential belonging to certain reverse Hölder class $B_s$ for $s\ge n/2$. The Hardy type space $H_{{ℒ}_2}^1$ is defined in terms of the maximal function with respect to the semigroup $\left\{{\mathrm{e}}^{-t{ℒ}_2}\right\}$ and it is identical to the Hardy space $H_{{ℒ}_1}^1$ established by Dziubański and Zienkiewicz. In this article, we prove the $L^p$-boundedness of the commutator ${ℛ}_b=bℛf-ℛ\left(bf\right)$ generated by the Riesz transform $ℛ={\nabla }^2{ℒ}_2^{-1/2}$, where $b\in {\mathrm{BMO}}_{\theta }\left(\rho \right)$, which is larger...

We consider functions $u\in W_0^{m,1}\left(\Omega \right)$, where $\Omega \subset {ℝ}^N$ is a smooth bounded domain, and $m\ge 2$ is an integer. For all $j\ge 0,1\le k\le m-1$, such that $1\le j+k\le m$, we prove that $\frac{{\partial }^{i}u\left(x\right)}{d{\left(x\right)}^{m-j-k}}\in W_0^{k,1}\left(\Omega \right)$ with $∥{\partial }^k{\left(\frac{{\partial }^{i}u\left(x\right)}{d{\left(x\right)}^{m-j-k}}\right)}_{L^1\left(\Omega \right)}\le C∥u∥{}_{W^{m,1}\left(\Omega \right)}$, where $d$ is a smooth positive function which coincides with dist$(x,\partial \Omega )$ near $\partial \Omega$, and ${\partial }^l$ denotes any partial differential operator of order $l$.

We consider the linear Schrödinger equation under periodic boundary conditions, driven by a random force and damped by a quasilinear damping: $$\frac{\mathrm{d}}{\mathrm{d}t}u+\mathrm{i}\left(-\Delta +V\left(x\right)\right)u=\nu \left(\Delta u-{\gamma }_R{\left|u\right|}^{2p}u-\mathrm{i}{\gamma }_I{\left|u\right|}^{2q}u\right)+\sqrt{\nu }\eta (t,x).(*)$$ The force $\eta$ is white in time and smooth in $x$; the potential $V\left(x\right)$ is typical. We are concerned with the limiting, as $\nu \to 0$, behaviour of solutions on long time-intervals $0\le t\le {\nu }^{-1}T$, and with behaviour of these solutions under the double limit $t\to \infty$ and $\nu \to 0$. We show that these two limiting behaviours may be described in terms of solutions for the($*$) which is a well...

We prove an estimate for the difference of two solutions of the Schrödinger map equation for maps from $T^1$ to $S^2.$ This estimate yields some continuity properties of the flow map for the topology of $L^2(T^1,S^2)$, provided one takes its quotient by the continuous group action of $T^1$ given by translations. We also prove that without taking this quotient, for any $t\&gt;0$ the flow map at time $t$ is discontinuous as a map from ${𝒞}^{\infty }(T^1,S^2)$, equipped with the weak topology of $H^{1/2},$ to the space of distributions ${\left({𝒞}^{\infty }(T^1,{ℝ}^3)\right)}^{*}.$ The argument relies...

We consider a singularly perturbed elliptic equation ${ϵ}^2\Delta u-V\left(x\right)u+f\left(u\right)=0,u\left(x\right)>0$ on ${ℝ}^N$, ${\mathrm{𝚕𝚒𝚖}}_{\left|x\right|\to \infty }u\left(x\right)=0$, where $V\left(x\right)>0$ for any $x\in {ℝ}^N$. The singularly perturbed problem has corresponding limiting problems $\Delta U-cU+f\left(U\right)=0,U\left(x\right)>0$ on ${ℝ}^N$, ${\mathrm{𝚕𝚒𝚖}}_{\left|x\right|\to \infty }U\left(x\right)=0,c>0$. Berestycki-Lions found almost necessary and sufficient conditions on nonlinearity $f$ for existence of a solution of the limiting problem. There have been endeavors to construct solutions of the singularly perturbed problem concentrating around structurally stable critical points of potential $V$ under possibly general conditions...

The aim of this paper is to establish an existence and uniqueness result for a class of the set functional differential equations of neutral type$$\left\{\begin{array}{c}{D}_{H}X\left(t\right)=F(t,X_t,D_H{X}_t),\hfill \\ {X|}_{[-r,0]}=\Psi ,\hfill \end{array}\right.$$ where $F:[0,b]\times {𝒞}_0\times {𝔏}_0^1\to K_c\left(E\right)$ is a given function, $K_c\left(E\right)$ is the family of all nonempty compact and convex subsets of a separable Banach space $E$, ${𝒞}_0$ denotes the space of all continuous set-valued functions $X$ from $[-r,0]$ into $K_c\left(E\right)$, ${𝔏}_0^1$ is the space of all integrally bounded set-valued functions $X:[-r,0]\to K_c\left(E\right)$, $\Psi \in {𝒞}_0$ and $D_H$ is the Hukuhara derivative. The continuous dependence of solutions on initial...
