On a construction of weak solutions to non-stationary Stokes type equations by minimizing variational functionals and their regularity

Hiroshi Kawabi (2005)

Commentationes Mathematicae Universitatis Carolinae

In this paper, we prove that the regularity property, in the sense of Gehring-Giaquinta-Modica, holds for weak solutions to non-stationary Stokes type equations. For the construction of solutions, Rothe's scheme is adopted by way of introducing variational functionals and of making use of their minimizers. Local estimates are carried out for time-discrete approximate solutions to achieve the higher integrability. These estimates for gradients do not depend on approximation.

On a Liouville type theorem for isotropic homogeneous fully nonlinear elliptic equations in dimension two

Jean Dolbeault, Régis Monneau (2003)

Annali della Scuola Normale Superiore di Pisa - Classe di Scienze

In this paper we establish a Liouville type theorem for fully nonlinear elliptic equations related to a conjecture of De Giorgi in 2 . We prove that if the level lines of a solution have bounded curvature, then these level lines are straight lines. As a consequence, the solution is one-dimensional. The method also provides a result on free boundary problems of Serrin type.

On a magnetic characterization of spectral minimal partitions

Bernard Helffer, Thomas Hoffmann-Ostenhof (2013)

Journal of the European Mathematical Society

Given a bounded open set Ω in n (or in a Riemannian manifold) and a partition of Ω by k open sets D j , we consider the quantity 𝚖𝚊𝚡 j λ ( D j ) where λ ( D j ) is the ground state energy of the Dirichlet realization of the Laplacian in D j . If we denote by k ( Ω ) the infimum over all the k -partitions of 𝚖𝚊𝚡 j λ ( D j ) , a minimal k -partition is then a partition which realizes the infimum. When k = 2 , we find the two nodal domains of a second eigenfunction, but the analysis of higher k ’s is non trivial and quite interesting. In this paper, we give...
