Nonlinear Diffusion in Transparent Media
2021
Abstract We consider a prototypical nonlinear parabolic equation whose flux has three distinguished features: it is nonlinear with respect to both the unknown and its gradient, it is homogeneous, and it depends only on the direction of the gradient. For such equation, we obtain existence and uniqueness of entropy solutions to the Dirichlet problem, the homogeneous Neumann problem, and the Cauchy problem. Qualitative properties of solutions, such as finite speed of propagation and the occurrence of waiting-time phenomena, with sharp bounds, are shown. We also discuss the formation of jump discontinuities both at the boundary of the solutions’ support and in the bulk.
Multiple solutions for parametric double phase Dirichlet problems
2020
We consider a parametric double phase Dirichlet problem. Using variational tools together with suitable truncation and comparison techniques, we show that for all parametric values [Formula: see text] the problem has at least three nontrivial solutions, two of which have constant sign. Also, we identify the critical parameter [Formula: see text] precisely in terms of the spectrum of the [Formula: see text]-Laplacian.
Uniform rectifiability implies Varopoulos extensions
2020
We construct extensions of Varopolous type for functions $f \in \text{BMO}(E)$, for any uniformly rectifiable set $E$ of codimension one. More precisely, let $\Omega \subset \mathbb{R}^{n+1}$ be an open set satisfying the corkscrew condition, with an $n$-dimensional uniformly rectifiable boundary $\partial \Omega$, and let $\sigma := \mathcal{H}^n\lfloor_{\partial \Omega}$ denote the surface measure on $\partial \Omega$. We show that if $f \in \text{BMO}(\partial \Omega,d\sigma)$ with compact support on $\partial \Omega$, then there exists a smooth function $V$ in $\Omega$ such that $|\nabla V(Y)| \, dY$ is a Carleson measure with Carleson norm controlled by the BMO norm of $f$, and such th…
Three solutions to mixed boundary value problem driven by p(z)-Laplace operator
2021
We prove the existence of at least three weak solutions to a mixed Dirichlet–Neumann boundary value problem for equations driven by the p(z)-Laplace operator in the principal part. Our approach is variational and use three critical points theorems.
Fully representable and*-semisimple topological partial*-algebras
2012
We continue our study of topological partial *-algebras, focusing our attention to *-semisimple partial *-algebras, that is, those that possess a {multiplication core} and sufficiently many *-representations. We discuss the respective roles of invariant positive sesquilinear (ips) forms and representable continuous linear functionals and focus on the case where the two notions are completely interchangeable (fully representable partial *-algebras) with the scope of characterizing a *-semisimple partial *-algebra. Finally we describe various notions of bounded elements in such a partial *-algebra, in particular, those defined in terms of a positive cone (order bounded elements). The outcome …
On the Ball-Marsden-Slemrod obstruction for bilinear control systems
2019
International audience; In this paper we present an extension to the case of $L^1$-controls of a famous result by Ball--Marsden--Slemrod on the obstruction to the controllability of bilinear control systems in infinite dimensional spaces.
On Strong Convergence of Halpern’s Method for Quasi-Nonexpansive Mappings in Hilbert Spaces
2016
In this paper, we introduce a Halpern’s type method to approximate common fixed points of a nonexpansive mapping T and a strongly quasi-nonexpansive mappings S, defined in a Hilbert space, such that I − S is demiclosed at 0. The result shows as the same algorithm converges to different points, depending on the assumptions of the coefficients. Moreover, a numerical example of our iterative scheme is given.
Anti-concentration property for random digraphs and invertibility of their adjacency matrices
2016
Let Dn,dDn,d be the set of all directed d-regular graphs on n vertices. Let G be a graph chosen uniformly at random from Dn,dDn,d and M be its adjacency matrix. We show that M is invertible with probability at least View the MathML source1−Cln3d/d for C≤d≤cn/ln2nC≤d≤cn/ln2n, where c,Cc,C are positive absolute constants. To this end, we establish a few properties of directed d-regular graphs. One of them, a Littlewood–Offord-type anti-concentration property, is of independent interest: let J be a subset of vertices of G with |J|≤cn/d|J|≤cn/d. Let δiδi be the indicator of the event that the vertex i is connected to J and δ=(δ1,δ2,…,δn)∈{0,1}nδ=(δ1,δ2,…,δn)∈{0,1}n. Then δ is not concentrate…
Adjacent vertices can be hard to find by quantum walks
2018
Quantum walks have been useful for designing quantum algorithms that outperform their classical versions for a variety of search problems. Most of the papers, however, consider a search space containing a single marked element. We show that if the search space contains more than one marked element, their placement may drastically affect the performance of the search. More specifically, we study search by quantum walks on general graphs and show a wide class of configurations of marked vertices, for which search by quantum walk needs Ω(N) steps, that is, it has no speed-up over the classical exhaustive search. The demonstrated configurations occur for certain placements of two or more adjace…
Thin and fat sets for doubling measures in metric spaces
2011
We consider sets in uniformly perfect metric spaces which are null for every doubling measure of the space or which have positive measure for all doubling measures. These sets are called thin and fat, respectively. In our main results, we give sufficient conditions for certain cut-out sets being thin or fat.
