Superharmonic functions are locally renormalized solutions

2011

Abstract We show that different notions of solutions to measure data problems involving p-Laplace type operators and nonnegative source measures are locally essentially equivalent. As an application we characterize singular solutions of multidimensional Riccati type partial differential equations.

Polar Sets in a Nonlinear Potential Theory

1988

In this lecture we discuss nonlinear potential theory based on “A-super-harmonic functions”; the theory can be viewed as a (nonlinear) extension of the classical study of superharmonic functions in ℝn.

Harnack's inequality for p-harmonic functions via stochastic games

2013

We give a proof of asymptotic Lipschitz continuity of p-harmonious functions, that are tug-of-war game analogies of ordinary p-harmonic functions. This result is used to obtain a new proof of Lipsc...

Superconductive and insulating inclusions for linear and non-linear conductivity equations

2015

We detect an inclusion with infinite conductivity from boundary measurements represented by the Dirichlet-to-Neumann map for the conductivity equation. We use both the enclosure method and the probe method. We use the enclosure method to prove partial results when the underlying equation is the quasilinear $p$-Laplace equation. Further, we rigorously treat the forward problem for the partial differential equation $\operatorname{div}(\sigma\lvert\nabla u\rvert^{p-2}\nabla u)=0$ where the measurable conductivity $\sigma\colon\Omega\to[0,\infty]$ is zero or infinity in large sets and $1<p<\infty$.

Improved Bounds for Hermite–Hadamard Inequalities in Higher Dimensions

2019

Let $\Omega \subset \mathbb{R}^n$ be a convex domain and let $f:\Omega \rightarrow \mathbb{R}$ be a positive, subharmonic function (i.e. $\Delta f \geq 0$). Then $$ \frac{1}{|\Omega|} \int_{\Omega}{f dx} \leq \frac{c_n}{ |\partial \Omega| } \int_{\partial \Omega}{ f d\sigma},$$ where $c_n \leq 2n^{3/2}$. This inequality was previously only known for convex functions with a much larger constant. We also show that the optimal constant satisfies $c_n \geq n-1$. As a byproduct, we establish a sharp geometric inequality for two convex domains where one contains the other $ \Omega_2 \subset \Omega_1 \subset \mathbb{R}^n$: $$ \frac{|\partial \Omega_1|}{|\Omega_1|} \frac{| \Omega_2|}{|\partial \Ome…

The Poisson embedding approach to the Calderón problem

2020

We introduce a new approach to the anisotropic Calder\'on problem, based on a map called Poisson embedding that identifies the points of a Riemannian manifold with distributions on its boundary. We give a new uniqueness result for a large class of Calder\'on type inverse problems for quasilinear equations in the real analytic case. The approach also leads to a new proof of the result by Lassas and Uhlmann (2001) solving the Calder\'on problem on real analytic Riemannian manifolds. The proof uses the Poisson embedding to determine the harmonic functions in the manifold up to a harmonic morphism. The method also involves various Runge approximation results for linear elliptic equations.

Cheeger-harmonic functions in metric measure spaces revisited

2014

Abstract Let ( X , d , μ ) be a complete metric measure space, with μ a locally doubling measure, that supports a local weak L 2 -Poincare inequality. By assuming a heat semigroup type curvature condition, we prove that Cheeger-harmonic functions are Lipschitz continuous on ( X , d , μ ) . Gradient estimates for Cheeger-harmonic functions and solutions to a class of non-linear Poisson type equations are presented.

Functions of One Variable

2019

A classical result of Fatou gives that every bounded holomorphic function on the disc has radial limits for almost every point in the torus, and the limit function belongs to the Hardy space H_\infty of the torus. This property is no longer true when we consider vector-valued functions. The Banach spaces X for which this property is satisfied are said to have the analytic Radon-Nikodym property (ARNP). Some important equivalent reformulations of ARNP are studied in this chapter. Among others, X has ARNP if and only if each X-valued H_p- function f on the disc has radial limits almost everywhere on the torus (and not only H_\infty-functions). Even more, in this case each such f has non-tange…
