We show in two dimensions that if $Kf={\int }_{ℝ₊²}k(x,y)f\left(y\right)dy$, $k(x,y)=\left(e^{i{x}^a·y^b}\right){/\left(\right|x-y|}^{\eta })$, p = 4/(2+η), a ≥ b ≥ 1̅ = (1,1), $v_p\left(y\right)=y^{(p/p^{\text{'}})(1̅-b/a)}$, then ${\left|\right|Kf\left|\right|}_p{\le C\left|\right|f\left|\right|}_{p,v_p}$ if η + α₁ + α₂ < 2, ${\alpha }_j=1-b_j/a_j$, j = 1,2. Our methods apply in all dimensions and also for more general kernels.

The second order linear differential equation $${\left(p\left(x\right)y^{\text{'}}\right)}^{\text{'}}+q\left(x\right)y=0,x\in (0,x_0]$$ is considered, where $p$, $q\in C^1(0,x_0]$, $p\left(x\right)>0$, $q\left(x\right)>0$ for $x\in (0,x_0]$. Sufficient conditions are established for every nontrivial solutions to be nonrectifiable oscillatory near $x=0$ without the Hartman–Wintner condition.

Let d > 0 be a positive real number and n ≥ 1 a positive integer and define the operator $S_d$ and its associated global maximal operator $S*{*}_d$ by $\left(S_{d}f\right)(x,t)=1/\left(2\pi \right)ⁿ{\int }_{ℝⁿ}{e}^{ix·\xi }{e}^{{it\left|\xi \right|}^d}f̂\left(\xi \right)d\xi$, f ∈ (ℝⁿ), x ∈ ℝⁿ, t ∈ ℝ, $(S*{*}_{d}f)\left(x\right)=su{p}_{t\in ℝ}|1/\left(2\pi \right)ⁿ{\int }_{ℝⁿ}{e}^{ix·\xi }{e}^{{it\left|\xi \right|}^d}f̂\left(\xi \right)d\xi |$, f ∈ (ℝⁿ), x ∈ ℝⁿ, where f̂ is the Fourier transform of f and (ℝⁿ) is the Schwartz class of rapidly decreasing functions. If d = 2, $S_{d}f$ is the solution to the initial value problem for the free Schrödinger equation (cf. (1.3) in this paper). We prove that for radial functions f ∈ (ℝⁿ), if n ≥ 3, 0 < d ≤ 2, and p ≥...

We study the Cauchy problem for the 3D MHD system with damping terms ${\epsilon \left|u\right|}^{\alpha -1}u$ and ${\delta \left|b\right|}^{\beta -1}b$ (ε, δ > 0 and α, β ≥ 1), and show that the strong solution exists globally for any α, β > 3. This improves the previous results significantly.

We extend a result of the second author [27, Theorem 1.1] to dimensions $d\ge 3$ which relates the size of $L^p$-norms of eigenfunctions for $2<p<2(d+1)/d-1$ to the amount of $L^2$-mass in shrinking tubes about unit-length geodesics. The proof uses bilinear oscillatory integral estimates of Lee [22] and a variable coefficient variant of an "$ϵ$ removal lemma" of Tao and Vargas [35]. We also use Hörmander’s [20] $L^2$ oscillatory integral theorem and the Cartan–Hadamard theorem to show that, under the assumption of nonpositive...

As observed by Yamazaki, the third component $b_3$ of the magnetic field can be estimated by the corresponding component $u_3$ of the velocity field in $L^{\lambda }$ $(2\le \lambda \le 6)$ norm. This leads him to establish regularity criterion involving $u_3,j_3$ or $u_3,{\omega }_3$. Noticing that $\lambda$ can be greater than 6 in this paper, we can improve previous results.

This paper is concerned with the oscillatory behavior of the damped half-linear oscillator ${\left(a\left(t\right){\phi }_p\left(x^{\text{'}}\right)\right)}^{\text{'}}+b\left(t\right){\phi }_p\left(x^{\text{'}}\right)+c\left(t\right){\phi }_p\left(x\right)=0$, where ${\phi }_p\left(x\right)={\left|x\right|}^{p-1}\mathrm{sgn}x$ for $x\in ℝ$ and $p>1$. A sufficient condition is established for oscillation of all nontrivial solutions of the damped half-linear oscillator under the integral averaging conditions. The main result can be given by using a generalized Young’s inequality and the Riccati type technique. Some examples are included to illustrate the result. Especially, an example which asserts that all nontrivial...

If the second order problem $\ddot{u}+\dot{u}+Au=f$ has $L^p$ maximal regularity for some $p\in (1,\mathrm{\infty })$, then it has $L^p$ maximal regularity for every $p\in (1,\mathrm{\infty })$.

Our aim is to establish Sobolev type inequalities for fractional maximal functions $M_{ℍ,\nu }f$ and Riesz potentials $I_{ℍ,\alpha }f$ in weighted Morrey spaces of variable exponent on the half space $ℍ$. We also obtain Sobolev type inequalities for a $C^1$ function on $ℍ$. As an application, we obtain Sobolev type inequality for double phase functionals with variable exponents $\Phi (x,t)=t^{p\left(x\right)}+{\left(b\left(x\right)t\right)}^{q\left(x\right)}$, where $p(·)$ and $q(·)$ satisfy log-Hölder conditions, $p\left(x\right)<q\left(x\right)$ for $x\in ℍ$, and $b(·)$ is nonnegative and Hölder continuous of order $\theta \in (0,1]$.

For a function $f\in L_{loc}^p\left(ℝⁿ\right)$ the notion of p-mean variation of order 1, ${₁}^p(f,ℝⁿ)$ is defined. It generalizes the concept of F. Riesz variation of functions on the real line ℝ¹ to ℝⁿ, n > 1. The characterisation of the Sobolev space $W^{1,p}\left(ℝⁿ\right)$ in terms of ${₁}^p(f,ℝⁿ)$ is directly related to the characterisation of $W^{1,p}\left(ℝⁿ\right)$ by Lipschitz type pointwise inequalities of Bojarski, Hajłasz and Strzelecki and to the Bourgain-Brezis-Mironescu approach.

Let ${}_s$ be the family of open rectangles in the plane ℝ² with a side of angle s to the x-axis. We say that a set S of directions is an R-set if there exists a function f ∈ L¹(ℝ²) such that the basis ${}_s$ differentiates the integral of f if s ∉ S, and $D{̅}_{s}f\left(x\right)=limsu{p}_{diam\left(R\right)\to 0,x\in R{\in }_s}{\left|R\right|}^{-1}{\int }_{R}f=\infty$ almost everywhere if s ∈ S. If the condition $D{̅}_{s}f\left(x\right)=\infty$ holds on a set of positive measure (instead of a.e.) we say that S is a WR-set. It is proved that S is an R-set (resp. a WR-set) if and only if it is a $G_{\delta }$ (resp. a $G_{\delta \sigma }$).

We prove some optimal estimates of Hölder-logarithmic type in the Hardy-Sobolev spaces $H^{k,p}\left(G\right)$, where $k\in {\mathbb{N}}^{*}$, $1\le p\le \infty$ and $G$ is either the open unit disk $𝔻$ or the annular domain $G_s$, $0<s<1$ of the complex space $ℂ$. More precisely, we study the behavior on the interior of $G$ of any function $f$ belonging to the unit ball of the Hardy-Sobolev spaces $H^{k,p}\left(G\right)$ from its behavior on any open connected subset $I$ of the boundary $\partial G$ of $G$ with respect to the $L^1$-norm. Our results can be viewed as an improvement and generalization of...

The main purpose of this article is to give a generalization of the logarithmic-type estimate in the Hardy-Sobolev spaces $H^{k,p}\left(G\right)$; $k\in {\mathbb{N}}^{*}$, $1\le p\le \infty$ and $G$ is the open unit disk or the annulus of the complex space $ℂ$.

The notion of maximal non-pseudovaluation subring of an integral domain is introduced and studied. Let $R\subset S$ be an extension of domains. Then $R$ is called a maximal non-pseudovaluation subring of $S$ if $R$ is not a pseudovaluation subring of $S$, and for any ring $T$ such that $R\subset T\subset S$, $T$ is a pseudovaluation subring of $S$. We show that if $S$ is not local, then there no such $T$ exists between $R$ and $S$. We also characterize maximal non-pseudovaluation subrings of a local integral domain.

The distributional $k$-dimensional Jacobian of a map $u$ in the Sobolev space $W^{1,k-1}$ which takes values in the sphere $S^{k-1}$ can be viewed as the boundary of a rectifiable current of codimension $k$ carried by (part of) the singularity of $u$ which is topologically relevant. The main purpose of this paper is to investigate the range of the Jacobian operator; in particular, we show that any boundary $M$ of codimension $k$ can be realized as Jacobian of a Sobolev map valued in $S^{k-1}$. In case $M$ is polyhedral, the...

The half-linear differential equation $$\left(\right|u^{\text{'}}{|}^{\alpha }\mathrm{sgn}{u}^{\text{'}}{)}^{\text{'}}=\alpha ({\lambda }^{\alpha +1}+b\left(t\right)){\left|u\right|}^{\alpha }\mathrm{sgn}u,t\ge t_0,$$ is considered, where $\alpha$ and $\lambda$ are positive constants and $b\left(t\right)$ is a real-valued continuous function on $[t_0,\infty )$. It is proved that, under a mild integral smallness condition of $b\left(t\right)$ which is weaker than the absolutely integrable condition of $b\left(t\right)$, the above equation has a nonoscillatory solution $u_0\left(t\right)$ such that $u_0\left(t\right)\sim {\mathrm{e}}^{-\lambda t}$ and $u_0^{\text{'}}\left(t\right)\sim -\lambda {\mathrm{e}}^{-\lambda t}$ ($t\to \infty$), and a nonoscillatory solution $u_1\left(t\right)$ such that $u_1\left(t\right)\sim {\mathrm{e}}^{\lambda t}$ and $u_1^{\text{'}}\left(t\right)\sim \lambda {\mathrm{e}}^{\lambda t}$ ($t\to \infty$).

Starting from Giaquinta’s counterexample [12] we introduce the class of splitting functionals being of $(p,q)$-growth with exponents $p\le q\&lt;\infty$ and show for the scalar case that locally bounded local minimizers are of class $C^{1,\mu }$. Note that to our knowledge the only $C^{1,\mu }$-results without imposing a relation between $p$ and $q$ concern the case of two independent variables as it is outlined in Marcellini’s paper [15], Theorem A, and later on in the work of Fusco and Sbordone [10], Theorem 4.2.

Let $\Omega$ be a bounded domain of class $C^2$ in $ℝ$N and let $K$ be a compact subset of $\partial \Omega$. Assume that $q\ge (N+1)/\left(N-1\right)$ and denote by $U_K$ the maximal solution of $-\Delta u+u^q=0$ in $\Omega$ which vanishes on $\partial \Omega \setminus K$. We obtain sharp upper and lower estimates for $U_K$ in terms of the Bessel capacity $C_{2/q,q^{\text{'}}}$ and prove that $U_K$ is $\sigma$-moderate. In addition we describe the precise asymptotic behavior of $U_K$ at points $\sigma \in K$, which depends on the “density” of $K$ at $\sigma$, measured in terms of the capacity $C_{2/q,q^{\text{'}}}$.

Let ${\left(F_n\right)}_{n\in \mathbb{N}}$ be a sequence of non-decreasing functions from $[0,+\infty )$ into $[0,+\infty )$. Under some suitable hypotheses of ${\left(F_n\right)}_{n\in \mathbb{N}}$, we will prove that if $g\in L^p\left({ℝ}^N\right)$, $1<p<+\infty$, satisfies ${lim\; inf}_{n\to \infty }{\int }_{{ℝ}^N}{\int }_{{ℝ}^N}{F}_n{\left(\right|g\left(x\right)-g\left(y\right)\left|\right)/|x-y|}^{N+p}dxdy<+\infty$, then $g\in W^{1,p}\left({ℝ}^N\right)$ and moreover ${lim}_{n\to \infty }{\int }_{{ℝ}^N}{\int }_{{ℝ}^N}{F}_n{\left(\right|g\left(x\right)-g\left(y\right)\left|\right)/|x-y|}^{N+p}dxdy=K_{N,p}{\int }_{{ℝ}^N}{\left|\nabla g\left(x\right)\right|}^{p}dx$, where $K_{N,p}$ is a positive constant depending only on $N$ and $p$. This extends some results in J. Bourgain and H-M. Nguyen [A new characterization of Sobolev spaces, C. R. Acad Sci. Paris, Ser. 343 (2006) 75-80] and H-M. Nguyen [Some new characterizations of Sobolev spaces, J. Funct. Anal. 237 (2006) 689-720]. We also present some...

We consider the quasilinear equation ${\Delta }_{p}u+K\left(\right|x\left|\right)u^q=0$, and present the proof of the local existence of positive radial solutions near $0$ under suitable conditions on $K$. Moreover, we provide a priori estimates of positive radial solutions near $\infty$ when $r^{-\ell }K\left(r\right)$ for $\ell \ge -p$ is bounded near $\infty$.

Let Y be a Banach space and let $S\subset L_p$ be a subspace of an $L_p$ space, for some p ∈ (1,∞). We consider two operators B and C acting on S and Y respectively and satisfying the so-called maximal regularity property. Let ℬ and be their natural extensions to $S\left(Y\right)\subset L_p\left(Y\right)$. We investigate conditions that imply that ℬ + is closed and has the maximal regularity property. Extending theorems of Lamberton and Weis, we show in particular that this holds if Y is a UMD Banach lattice and $e^{-tB}$ is a positive contraction...
