H1/2 maps with values into the circle : minimal connections, lifting, and the Ginzburg–Landau equation
In this note, we verify the conjecture of Barron, Evans and Jensen [3] regarding the characterization of viscosity solutions of general Aronsson equations in terms of the properties of associated forward and backwards Hamilton-Jacobi flows. A special case of this result is analogous to the characterization of infinity harmonic functions in terms of convexity and concavity of the functions and , respectively.
We apply general Hardy type inequalities, recently obtained by the author. As a consequence we obtain a family of Hardy-Poincaré inequalities with certain constants, contributing to the question about precise constants in such inequalities posed in [3]. We confirm optimality of some constants obtained in [3] and [8]. Furthermore, we give constants for generalized inequalities with the proof of their optimality.
This paper is concerned with the Hölder regularity of viscosity solutions of second-order, fully non-linear elliptic integro-differential equations. Our results rely on two key ingredients: first we assume that, at each point of the domain, either the equation is strictly elliptic in the classical fully non-linear sense, or (and this is the most original part of our work) the equation is strictly elliptic in a non-local non-linear sense we make precise. Next we impose some regularity and growth...
We study the asymptotic behaviour of the following nonlinear problem: in a domain Ωh of whose boundary ∂Ωh contains an oscillating part with respect to h when h tends to ∞. The oscillating boundary is defined by a set of cylinders with axis 0xn that are h-1-periodically distributed. We prove that the limit problem in the domain corresponding to the oscillating boundary identifies with a diffusion operator with respect to xn coupled with an algebraic problem for the limit fluxes.
