Let $A$ be a closed set of $M\simeq {\mathbb{R}}^n$, whose conormai cones $x+y_x^{*}\left(A\right)$, $x\in A$, have locally empty intersection. We first show in §1 that $\text{dist}\left(x,A\right)$, $x\in M\setminus A$ is a $C^1$ function. We then represent the n microfunctions of ${\mathcal{C}}_{A|X}$, $X\simeq {\mathbb{C}}^n$, using cohomology groups of ${\mathcal{O}}_X$ of degree 1. By the results of § 1-3, we are able to prove in §4 that the sections of ${\left.{\mathcal{C}}_{A|X}\right|}_{{\dot{\pi }}^{-1}\left(x_0\right)}$, $x_0\in \partial A$, satisfy the principle of the analytic continuation in the complex integral manifolds of ${\left\{H\left({\varphi }_i^C\right)\right\}}_{i=1,\mathrm{\dots },m}$, $\left\{{\varphi }_i\right\}$ being a base for the linear hull of ${\gamma }_{x_0}^{*}\left(A\right)$ in $T_{x_0}^{*}M$; in particular we get ${\left.{\mathrm{\Gamma }}_{A\times {}_{M}T{}^{*}{}_{M}X}\left({\mathcal{C}}_{A|X}\right)\right|}_{\partial A\times {}_M\dot{T}{}^{*}{}_{M}X}=0$. When $A$is a half space with $C^{\omega }$-boundary,...

We apply Cartan’s method of equivalence to find a Bäcklund autotransformation for the tangent covering of the universal hierarchy equation. The transformation provides a recursion operator for symmetries of this equation.

In this talk we extend to Gevrey-s obstacles with $1\le s\<3$ a result on the poles free zone due to J. Sjöstrand [8] for the analytic case.

In Albano-Cannarsa [1] the authors proved that, under some conditions, the singularities of the semiconcave viscosity solutions of the Hamilton-Jacobi equation propagate along generalized characteristics. In this note we will provide a simple proof of this interesting result.

We consider a solution u of the homogeneous Dirichlet problem for a class of nonlinear elliptic equations in the form A(u) = g(x,u) + f, where the principal term is a Leray-Lions operator defined on W01,p (Ω). The function g(x,u) satisfies suitable growth assumptions, but no sign hypothesis on it is assumed. We prove that the rearrangement of u can be estimated by the solution of a problem whose data are radially symmetric.

We study a two-particle quantum system given by a test particle interacting in three dimensions with a harmonic oscillator through a zero-range potential. We give a rigorous meaning to the Schrödinger operator associated with the system by applying the theory of quadratic forms and defining suitable families of self-adjoint operators. Finally we fully characterize the spectral properties of such operators.

We characterize the autonomous, divergence-free vector fields $b$ on the plane such that the Cauchy problem for the continuity equation ${\partial }_{t}u+\frac{.}{\dot{}}\left(bu\right)=0$ admits a unique bounded solution (in the weak sense) for every bounded initial datum; the characterization is given in terms of a property of Sard type for the potential $f$ associated to $b$. As a corollary we obtain uniqueness under the assumption that the curl of $b$ is a measure. This result can be extended to certain non-autonomous vector fields $b$ with bounded divergence....

It is proved that there can exist at most one solution of the homogeneous Dirichlet problem for the stationary Navier-Stokes equations in 3-dimensional space which is approximable by a given consistent and regular approximation scheme.
