Dans cet article, on introduit pour certaines classes d’opérateurs pseudo-différentiels à caractéristiques multiples des invariants, définis en chaque point caractéristique, permettant d’exprimer des conditions nécessaires ou suffisantes d’hypoellipticité ; une formule explicite est donnée permettant de les calculer dans un système de coordonnées.
We prove that any zero solution of a hypoelliptic partial differential operator can be expanded in a generalized Laurent series near a point singularity if and only if the operator is semielliptic. Moreover, the coefficients may be calculated by means of a Cauchy integral type formula. In particular, we obtain explicit expansions for the solutions of the heat equation near a point singularity. To prove the necessity of semiellipticity, we additionally assume that the index of hypoellipticity with...
In this paper, we are interested in a diffusion process based on a gradient descent. The process is non Markov and has a memory term which is built as a weighted average of the drift term all along the past of the trajectory. For this type of diffusion, we study the long time behaviour of the process in terms of the memory. We exhibit some conditions for the long-time stability of the dynamical system and then provide, when stable, some convergence properties of the occupation measures and of the...
We give a short overview of sub-Laplacians on Carnot groups starting from a result by Caccioppoli dated 1934. Then we show that sub-Laplacians on Carnot groups of step one arise in studying curvature problems for manifolds. We restrict our presentation to the cases of the Webster-Tanaka curvature problem for the sphere and of the Levi-curvature equation for strictly pseudoconvex functions.
