Boundary regularity and compactness for overdetermined problems

Ivan Blank, Henrik Shahgholian (2003)

Annali della Scuola Normale Superiore di Pisa - Classe di Scienze

Similarity:

Let $D$ be either the unit ball $B_{1} (0)$ or the half ball $B_{1}^{+} (0),$ let $f$ be a strictly positive and continuous function, and let $u$ and $Ω \subset D$ solve the following overdetermined problem: $Δ u (x) = χ_{_{Ω}} (x) f (x) in D, 0 \in \partial Ω, u = | \nabla u | = 0 in Ω^{c},$ where $χ_{_{Ω}}$ denotes the characteristic function of $Ω,$ $Ω^{c}$ denotes the set $D ∖ Ω,$ and the equation is satisfied in the sense of distributions. When $D = B_{1}^{+} (0),$ then we impose in addition that $u (x) \equiv 0 on {(x^{'}, x_{n}) | x_{n} = 0} .$ We show that a fairly mild thickness assumption on $Ω^{c}$ will ensure enough compactness on...

A remark on the local Lipschitz continuity of vector hysteresis operators

Pavel Krejčí (2001)

Applications of Mathematics

Similarity:

It is known that the vector stop operator with a convex closed characteristic $Z$ of class $C^{1}$ is locally Lipschitz continuous in the space of absolutely continuous functions if the unit outward normal mapping $n$ is Lipschitz continuous on the boundary $\partial Z$ of $Z$ . We prove that in the regular case, this condition is also necessary.

Biseparating maps on generalized Lipschitz spaces

Denny H. Leung (2010)

Studia Mathematica

Similarity:

Let X, Y be complete metric spaces and E, F be Banach spaces. A bijective linear operator from a space of E-valued functions on X to a space of F-valued functions on Y is said to be biseparating if f and g are disjoint if and only if Tf and Tg are disjoint. We introduce the class of generalized Lipschitz spaces, which includes as special cases the classes of Lipschitz, little Lipschitz and uniformly continuous functions. Linear biseparating maps between generalized Lipschitz spaces are...

Morrey regularity and continuity results for almost minimizers of asymptotically convex integrals

Mikil Foss, Antonia Passarelli di Napoli, Anna Verde (2008)

Applicationes Mathematicae

Similarity:

In a recent paper [Forum Math., 2008] the authors established some global, up to the boundary of a domain Ω ⊂ ℝⁿ, continuity and Morrey regularity results for almost minimizers of functionals of the form $u \mapsto \int_{Ω} g (x, u (x), \nabla u (x)) d x$ . The main assumptions for these results are that g is asymptotically convex and that it satisfies some growth conditions. In this article, we present a specialized but significant version of this general result. The primary purpose of this paper is provide several applications of this...

Singular points of order $k$ of Clarke regular and arbitrary functions

Luděk Zajíček (2012)

Commentationes Mathematicae Universitatis Carolinae

Similarity:

Let $X$ be a separable Banach space and $f$ a locally Lipschitz real function on $X$ . For $k \in ℕ$ , let $Σ_{k} (f)$ be the set of points $x \in X$ , at which the Clarke subdifferential $\partial^{C} f (x)$ is at least $k$ -dimensional. It is well-known that if $f$ is convex or semiconvex (semiconcave), then $Σ_{k} (f)$ can be covered by countably many Lipschitz surfaces of codimension $k$ . We show that this result holds even for each Clarke regular function (and so also for each approximately convex function). Motivated by a resent result of A.D. Ioffe,...

A Lipschitz function which is $C^{\infty}$ on a.e. line need not be generically differentiable

Luděk Zajíček (2013)

Colloquium Mathematicae

Similarity:

We construct a Lipschitz function f on X = ℝ ² such that, for each 0 ≠ v ∈ X, the function f is $C^{\infty}$ smooth on a.e. line parallel to v and f is Gâteaux non-differentiable at all points of X except a first category set. Consequently, the same holds if X (with dimX > 1) is an arbitrary Banach space and “a.e.” has any usual “measure sense”. This example gives an answer to a natural question concerning the author’s recent study of linearly essentially smooth functions (which generalize essentially...

Lipschitz extensions of convex-valued maps

Similarity:

Si dimostra che ogni funzione multivoca lipschitziana con costante di Lipschitz $M$ , definita su un sottoinsieme di uno spazio di Hilbert $H$ a valori compatti e convessi in $\mathbb{R}^{n}$ , può essere estesa su tutto $H$ ad una funzione multivoca lipschitziana con costante minore di 7 nM. In generale, non esistono invece estensioni aventi la stessa costante di Lipschitz $M$ .

Lipschitz and uniform embeddings into $ℓ_{\infty}$

N. J. Kalton (2011)

Fundamenta Mathematicae

Similarity:

We show that there is no uniformly continuous selection of the quotient map $Q : ℓ_{\infty} \to ℓ_{\infty} / c ₀$ relative to the unit ball. We use this to construct an answer to a problem of Benyamini and Lindenstrauss; there is a Banach space X such that there is a no Lipschitz retraction of X** onto X; in fact there is no uniformly continuous retraction from $B_{X * *}$ onto $B_{X}$ .

Convex approximation of an inhomogeneous anisotropic functional

The numerical minimization of the functional $F (u) = \int_{Ω} ϕ (x, ν_{u}) |D u| + \int_{\partial Ω} μ u d H^{n - 1} - \int_{Ω} κ u d x$ , $u \in B V (Ω; \{- 1, 1\})$ is addressed. The function $ϕ$ is continuous, has linear growth, and is convex and positively homogeneous of degree one in the second variable. We prove that $F$ can be equivalently minimized on the convex set $B V (Ω; [- 1, 1])$ and then regularized with a sequence ${\{F_{ϵ} (u)\}}_{ϵ}$ , of stricdy convex functionals defined on $B V (Ω; [- 1, 1])$ . Then both $F$ and $F_{ϵ}$ , can be discretized by continuous linear finite elements. The convexity property of the functionals on $B V (Ω; [- 1, 1])$ is useful in the numerical...
