On the Moser-Onofri and Prékopa-Leindler inequalities.

Alessandro Ghigi (2005)

Collectanea Mathematica

Using elementary convexity arguments involving the Legendre transformation and the Prékopa-Leindler inequality, we prove the sharp Moser-Onofri inequality, which says that1/16π ∫|∇φ|2 + 1/4π ∫ φ - log (1/4π ∫ eφ) ≥ 0for any funcion φ ∈ C∞(S2).

On the necessity of gaps

Hiroshi Matano, Paul Rabinowitz (2006)

Journal of the European Mathematical Society

Recent papers have studied the existence of phase transition solutions for Allen–Cahn type equations. These solutions are either single or multi-transition spatial heteroclinics or homoclinics between simpler equilibrium states. A sufficient condition for the construction of the multitransition solutions is that there are gaps in the ordered set of single transition solutions. In this paper we explore the necessity of these gap conditions.

On the nonlinear Neumann problem at resonance with critical Sobolev nonlinearity

J. Chabrowski, Shusen Yan (2002)

Colloquium Mathematicae

We consider the Neumann problem for the equation - Δ u - λ u = Q ( x ) | u | 2 * - 2 u , u ∈ H¹(Ω), where Q is a positive and continuous coefficient on Ω̅ and λ is a parameter between two consecutive eigenvalues λ k - 1 and λ k . Applying a min-max principle based on topological linking we prove the existence of a solution.

On the Paneitz energy on standard three sphere

Paul Yang, Meijun Zhu (2004)

ESAIM: Control, Optimisation and Calculus of Variations

We prove that the Paneitz energy on the standard three-sphere S 3 is bounded from below and extremal metrics must be conformally equivalent to the standard metric.

On the projective Finsler metrizability and the integrability of Rapcsák equation

Tamás Milkovszki, Zoltán Muzsnay (2017)

Czechoslovak Mathematical Journal

A. Rapcsák obtained necessary and sufficient conditions for the projective Finsler metrizability in terms of a second order partial differential system. In this paper we investigate the integrability of the Rapcsák system and the extended Rapcsák system, by using the Spencer version of the Cartan-Kähler theorem. We also consider the extended Rapcsák system completed with the curvature condition. We prove that in the non-isotropic case there is a nontrivial Spencer cohomology group in the sequences...
