It is known that the fundamental solution to an elliptic differential equation with analytic coefficients exists, is determined up to the kernel of the differential operator, and has singularities on characteristics of the equation in ℂ2. In this paper we construct a representation of fundamental solution as a sum of functions, each of those has singularity on a single characteristic.
The Martin compactification of a bounded Lipschitz domain is shown to be for a large class of uniformly elliptic second order partial differential operators on .Let be an open Riemannian manifold and let be open relatively compact, connected, with Lipschitz boundary. Then is the Martin compactification of associated with the restriction to of the Laplace-Beltrami operator on . Consequently an open Riemannian manifold has at most one compactification which is a compact Riemannian...
We investigate the solvability of the linear Neumann problem (1.1) with L¹ data. The results are applied to obtain existence theorems for a semilinear Neumann problem.
Oscillation theorems are established for forced second order mixed-nonlinear elliptic differential equations ⎧ , ⎨ ⎩ under quite general conditions. These results are extensions of the recent results of Sun and Wong, [J. Math. Anal. Appl. 334 (2007)] and Zheng, Wang and Han [Appl. Math. Lett. 22 (2009)] for forced second order ordinary differential equations with...
Two generalizations of the notion of principal eigenvalue for elliptic operators in are examined in this paper. We prove several results comparing these two eigenvalues in various settings: general operators in dimension one; self-adjoint operators; and “limit periodic” operators. These results apply to questions of existence and uniqueness for some semilinear problems in the whole space. We also indicate several outstanding open problems and formulate some conjectures.
It is proved in [1],[2] that in odd dimensional spaces any uniform decay of the local energy implies that it must decay exponentially. We extend this to even dimensional spaces and to more general perturbations (including the transmission problem) showing that any uniform decay of the local energy implies that it must decay like O(t^(−2n) ), t ≫ 1 being the time and n being the space dimension.
A sharp integrability result for non-negative adjoint solutions to planar non-divergence elliptic equations is proved. A uniform estimate is also given for the Green's function.
In this paper we find the optimal regularity for viscosity solutions of the pseudo infinity Laplacian. We prove that the solutions are locally Lipschitz and show an example that proves that this result is optimal. We also show existence and uniqueness for the Dirichlet problem.
We prove some quantitatively sharp estimates concerning the Δ₂ and ∇₂ conditions for functions which generalize known ones. The sharp forms arise in the connection between Orlicz space theory and the theory of elliptic partial differential equations.
