Conditioned brownian motion in simply connected planar domains
Conditions for bimodality of mixtures of two unimodal distributions are investigated in some special cases. Based on general characterizations, explicit criteria for the parameters are derived for mixtures of two Cauchy, logistic, Student, gamma, log-normal, Gumbel and other distributions.
We obtain logarithmic improvements for conditions for regularity of the Navier-Stokes equation, similar to those of Prodi-Serrin or Beale-Kato-Majda. Some of the proofs make use of a stochastic approach involving Feynman-Kac-like inequalities. As part of our methods, we give a different approach to a priori estimates of Foiaş, Guillopé and Temam.
