Harmonic analysis on fractal spaces
Medolla e Setti [6] studiano l'andamento della diffusione del calore generata dal Laplaciano discreto su un albero omogeneo e dimostrano che il calore è asintoticamente concentrato in «anelli» che viaggiano verso l'infinito a velocità lineare e la cui larghezza divisa per tende all'infinito, dove è il tempo. Qui si spiega come un risultato più preciso si ottiene come corollario della legge dei grandi numeri e del teorema del limite centrale per la passeggiata aleatoria sull'albero. Inoltre,...
We prove two-sided estimates of heat kernels on non-parabolic Riemannian manifolds with ends, assuming that the heat kernel on each end separately satisfies the Li-Yau estimate.
Let τ be the first hitting time of the point 1 by the geometric Brownian motion X(t) = x exp(B(t) - 2μt) with drift μ ≥ 0 starting from x > 1. Here B(t) is the Brownian motion starting from 0 with EB²(t) = 2t. We provide an integral formula for the density function of the stopped exponential functional and determine its asymptotic behaviour at infinity. Although we basically rely on methods developed in [BGS], the present paper covers the case of arbitrary drifts μ ≥ 0 and provides a significant...
In this paper, a singular semi-linear parabolic PDE with locally periodic coefficients is homogenized. We substantially weaken previous assumptions on the coefficients. In particular, we prove new ergodic theorems. We show that in such a weak setting on the coefficients, the proper statement of the homogenization property concerns viscosity solutions, though we need a bounded Lipschitz terminal condition.
This paper deals with homogenization of second order divergence form parabolic operators with locally stationary coefficients. Roughly speaking, locally stationary coefficients have two evolution scales: both an almost constant microscopic one and a smoothly varying macroscopic one. The homogenization procedure aims to give a macroscopic approximation that takes into account the microscopic heterogeneities. This paper follows [Probab. Theory Related Fields (2009)] and improves this latter work by...
