In [9], the author considers a sequence of invertible maps $T_i:S¹\to S¹$ which exchange the positions of adjacent intervals on the unit circle, and defines as Aₙ the image of the set 0 ≤ x ≤ 1/2 under the action of Tₙ ∘ ... ∘ T₁, (1) Aₙ = (Tₙ ∘ ... ∘ T₁)x₁ ≤ 1/2. Then, if Aₙ is mixed up to scale h, it is proved that (2) ${\sum }_{i=1}^n(Tot.Var.(T_i-I)+Tot.Var.(T_i^{-1}-I))\ge Clog1/h$. We prove that (1) holds for general quasi incompressible invertible BV maps on ℝ, and that this estimate implies that the map Tₙ ∘ ... ∘ T₁ belongs to the Besov space $B^{0,1,1}$, and its norm is bounded...

We study the asymptotic behavior of $\lambda v_{\lambda }$ as $\lambda \to 0^{+}$, where $v_{\lambda }$ is the viscosity solution of the following Hamilton-Jacobi-Isaacs equation (infinite horizon case)$$\lambda v_{\lambda }+H(x,D{v}_{\lambda })=0,$$with$$H(x,p):=\underset{b\in B}{min}\underset{a\in A}{max}\{-f(x,a,b)·p-l(x,a,b)\}.$$We discuss the cases in which the state of the system is required to stay in an $n$-dimensional torus, called periodic boundary conditions, or in the closure of a bounded connected domain $\Omega \subset {ℝ}^n$ with sufficiently smooth boundary. As far as the latter is concerned, we treat both the case of the Neumann boundary conditions (reflection on the boundary)...

We study the microlocal analyticity of solutions $u$ of the nonlinear equation$$u_t=f(x,t,u,u_x)$$where $f(x,t,{\zeta }_0,\zeta )$ is complex-valued, real analytic in all its arguments and holomorphic in $({\zeta }_0,\zeta )$. We show that if the function $u$ is a $C^2$ solution, $\sigma \in \text{Char}{L}^u$ and $\frac{1}{i}\sigma \left([L^u,\overline{L^u}]\right)\<0$ or if $u$ is a $C^3$ solution, $\sigma \in \text{Char}{L}^u$, $\sigma \left([L^u,\overline{L^u}]\right)=0$, and $\sigma \left([L^u,[L^u,\overline{L^u}]]\right)\ne 0$, then $\sigma \notin W{F}_{a}u$. Here $W{F}_{a}u$ denotes the analytic wave-front set of $u$ and Char$L^u$ is the characteristic set of the linearized operator. When $m=1$, we prove a more general result involving the repeated brackets of $L^u$ and $\overline{L^u}$ of any order.
