Types and Multiplicity of Solutions to Sturm–Liouville Boundary Value Problem
2015
We consider the second-order nonlinear boundary value problems (BVPs) with Sturm–Liouville boundary conditions. We define types of solutions and show that if there exist solutions of different types then there exist intermediate solutions also.
Varadhan estimates without probability: lower bound
2007
We translate in semi-group theory our proof of Varadhan estimates for subelliptic Laplacians which was using the theory of large deviations of Wentzel-Freidlin and the Malliavin Calculus of Bismut type.
Reconstruction from boundary measurements for less regular conductivities
2012
In this paper, following Nachman's idea and Haberman and Tataru's idea, we reconstruct $C^1$ conductivity $\gamma$ or Lipchitz conductivity $\gamma$ with small enough value of $|\nabla log\gamma|$ in a Lipschitz domain $\Omega$ from the Dirichlet-to-Neumann map $\Lambda_{\gamma}$. In the appendix the authors and R. M. Brown recover the gradient of a $C^1$-conductivity at the boundary of a Lipschitz domain from the Dirichlet-to-Neumann map $\Lambda_{\gamma}$.
Stability estimates for the magnetic Schr\"odinger operator with partial measurements
2020
In this article, we study stability estimates when recovering magnetic fields and electric potentials in a simply connected open subset in $R^n$ with $n \geq 3$, from measurements on open subsets of its boundary. This inverse problem is associated with a magnetic Schr\"odinger operator. Our estimates are quantitative versions of the uniqueness results obtained by D. Dos Santos Ferreira, C. E. Kenig, J. Sj\"ostrand and G. Uhlmann in [13]. The moduli of continuity are of logarithmic type.
Carleman estimates for sub-Laplacians on Carnot groups
2022
In this note, we establish a new Carleman estimate with singular weights for the sub-Laplacian on a Carnot group $\mathbb G$ for functions satisfying the discrepancy assumption in (2.16) below. We use such an estimate to derive a sharp vanishing order estimate for solutions to stationary Schr\"odinger equations.
Boundary regularity for degenerate and singular parabolic equations
2013
We characterise regular boundary points of the parabolic $p$-Laplacian in terms of a family of barriers, both when $p>2$ and $1<p<2$. Due to the fact that $p\not=2$, it turns out that one can multiply the $p$-Laplace operator by a positive constant, without affecting the regularity of a boundary point. By constructing suitable families of barriers, we give some simple geometric conditions that ensure the regularity of boundary points.
Reilly's type inequality for the Laplacian associated to a density related with shrinkers for MCF
2015
Let $(\bar{M},,e^\psi)$ be a Riemannian manifold with a density, and let $M$ be a closed $n$-dimensional submanifold of $\bar{M}$ with the induced metric and density. We give an upper bound on the first eigenvalue $\lambda_1$ of the closed eigenvalue problem for $\Delta_\psi$ (the Laplacian on $M$ associated to the density) in terms of the average of the norm of the vector ${\vec{H}}_{{\psi}} + {\bar \nabla}$ with respect to the volume form induced by the density, where ${\vec{H}}_{{\psi}}$ is the mean curvature of $M$ associated to the density $e^\psi$. When $\bar{M}=\Bbb R^{n+k}$ or $\bar{M}=S^{n+k-1}$, the equality between $\lambda_1$ and its bound implies that $e^\psi$ is a Gaussian den…
Spectra for Semiclassical Operators with Periodic Bicharacteristics in Dimension Two
2014
We study the distribution of eigenvalues for selfadjoint $h$--pseudodifferential operators in dimension two, arising as perturbations of selfadjoint operators with a periodic classical flow. When the strength $\varepsilon$ of the perturbation is $\ll h$, the spectrum displays a cluster structure, and assuming that $\varepsilon \gg h^2$ (or sometimes $\gg h^{N_0}$, for $N_0 >1$ large), we obtain a complete asymptotic description of the individual eigenvalues inside subclusters, corresponding to the regular values of the leading symbol of the perturbation, averaged along the flow.
Weyl law for semi-classical resonances with randomly perturbed potentials
2011
In this work we consider semi-classical Schr\"odinger operators with potentials supported in a bounded strictly convex subset ${\cal O}$ of ${\bf R}^n$ with smooth boundary. Letting $h$ denote the semi-classical parameter, we consider certain classes of small random perturbations and show that with probability very close to 1, the number of resonances in rectangles $[a,b]-i[0,ch^{2/3}[$, is equal to the number of eigenvalues in $[a,b]$ of the Dirichlet realization of the unperturbed operator in ${\cal O}$ up to a small remainder.
Fractional Laplacians and Levy flights in bounded domains
2018
We address L\'{e}vy-stable stochastic processes in bounded domains, with a focus on a discrimination between inequivalent proposals for what a boundary data-respecting fractional Laplacian (and thence the induced random process) should actually be. Versions considered are: restricted Dirichlet, spectral Dirichlet and regional (censored) fractional Laplacians. The affiliated random processes comprise: killed, reflected and conditioned L\'{e}vy flights, in particular those with an infinite life-time. The related concept of quasi-stationary distributions is briefly mentioned.
