On the continuity of heat potentials
The backward Euler algorithm for the multidimensional nonhomogeneous heat equation is analyzed, based on the finite element method. The existence and uniqueness of the numerical solution is investigated. Also, the convergence of the numerical solutions is studied.
We first introduce the notion of microdifferential operators of WKB type and then develop their exact WKB analysis using microlocal analysis; a recursive way of constructing a WKB solution for such an operator is given through the symbol calculus of microdifferential operators, and their local structure near their turning points is discussed by a Weierstrass-type division theorem for such operators. A detailed study of the Berk-Book equation is given in Appendix.
We investigate the existence of solutions for the Dirichlet problem including the generalized balance of a membrane equation. We present a duality theory and variational principle for this problem. As one of the consequences of the duality we obtain some numerical results which give a measure of a duality gap between the primal and dual functional for approximate solutions.
The existence of nontrivial solutions is considered for the fractional Schrödinger-Poisson system with double quasi-linear terms: where is the fractional Laplacian for , with and . Under assumptions on and , we prove the existence of positive solutions and negative solutions for the above system by using perturbation method and the mountain pass theorem.
We show that the number of derivatives of a non negative 2-order symbol needed to establish the classical Fefferman-Phong inequality is bounded by improving thus the bound obtained recently by N. Lerner and Y. Morimoto. In the case of symbols of type , we show that this number is bounded by ; more precisely, for a non negative symbol , the Fefferman-Phong inequality holds if are bounded for, roughly, . To obtain such results and others, we first prove an abstract result which says that...

We describe qualitative behaviour of solutions of the Gross-Pitaevskii equation in 2D in terms of motion of vortices and radiation. To this end we introduce the notion of the intervortex energy. We develop a rather general adiabatic theory of motion of well separated vortices and present the method of effective action which gives a fairly straightforward justification of this theory. Finally we mention briefly two special situations where we are able to obtain rather detailed picture of the vortex...
