Unique continuation property and Poincar�� inequality for higher order fractional Laplacians with applications in inverse problems
2020
We prove a unique continuation property for the fractional Laplacian $(-\Delta)^s$ when $s \in (-n/2,\infty)\setminus \mathbb{Z}$. In addition, we study Poincar\'e-type inequalities for the operator $(-\Delta)^s$ when $s\geq 0$. We apply the results to show that one can uniquely recover, up to a gauge, electric and magnetic potentials from the Dirichlet-to-Neumann map associated to the higher order fractional magnetic Schr\"odinger equation. We also study the higher order fractional Schr\"odinger equation with singular electric potential. In both cases, we obtain a Runge approximation property for the equation. Furthermore, we prove a uniqueness result for a partial data problem of the $d$-…
Multidimensional Borg–Levinson theorems for unbounded potentials
2018
We prove that the Dirichlet eigenvalues and Neumann boundary data of the corresponding eigenfunctions of the operator $-\Delta + q$, determine the potential $q$, when $q \in L^{n/2}(\Omega,\mathbb{R})$ and $n \geq 3$. We also consider the case of incomplete spectral data, in the sense that the above spectral data is unknown for some finite number of eigenvalues. In this case we prove that the potential $q$ is uniquely determined for $q \in L^p(\Omega,\mathbb{R})$ with $p=n/2$, for $n\geq4$ and $p>n/2$, for $n=3$.
Weyl's Theorems and Extensions of Bounded Linear Operators
2012
A bounded operator $T\in L(X)$, $X$ a Banach space, is said to satisfy Weyl's theorem if the set of all spectral points that do not belong to the Weyl spectrum coincides with the set of all isolated points of the spectrum which are eigenvalues and having finite multiplicity. In this article we give sufficient conditions for which Weyl's theorem for an extension $\overline T$ of $T$ (respectively, for $T$) entails that Weyl's theorem holds for $T$ (respectively, for $\overline T$).
Manifolds of quasiconformal mappings and the nonlinear Beltrami equation
2014
In this paper we show that the homeomorphic solutions to each nonlinear Beltrami equation $\partial_{\bar{z}} f = \mathcal{H}(z, \partial_{z} f)$ generate a two-dimensional manifold of quasiconformal mappings $\mathcal{F}_{\mathcal{H}} \subset W^{1,2}_{\mathrm{loc}}(\mathbb{C})$. Moreover, we show that under regularity assumptions on $\mathcal{H}$, the manifold $\mathcal{F}_{\mathcal{H}}$ defines the structure function $\mathcal{H}$ uniquely.
On $L^p$ resolvent estimates for Laplace-Beltrami operators on compact manifolds
2011
Abstract. In this article we prove Lp estimates for resolvents of Laplace–Beltrami operators on compact Riemannian manifolds, generalizing results of Kenig, Ruiz and Sogge (1987) in the Euclidean case and Shen (2001) for the torus. We follow Sogge (1988) and construct Hadamard's parametrix, then use classical boundedness results on integral operators with oscillatory kernels related to the Carleson and Sjölin condition. Our initial motivation was to obtain Lp Carleman estimates with limiting Carleman weights generalizing those of Jerison and Kenig (1985); we illustrate the pertinence of Lp resolvent estimates by showing the relation with Carleman estimates. Such estimates are useful in the …
Dirichlet approximation and universal Dirichlet series
2016
We characterize the uniform limits of Dirichlet polynomials on a right half plane. In the Dirichlet setting, we find approximation results, with respect to the Euclidean distance and {to} the chordal one as well, analogous to classical results of Runge, Mergelyan and Vitushkin. We also strengthen the notion of universal Dirichlet series.
Existence of minimizers for eigenvalues of the Dirichlet-Laplacian with a drift
2015
Abstract This paper deals with the eigenvalue problem for the operator L = − Δ − x ⋅ ∇ with Dirichlet boundary conditions. We are interested in proving the existence of a set minimizing any eigenvalue λ k of L under a suitable measure constraint suggested by the structure of the operator. More precisely we prove that for any c > 0 and k ∈ N the following minimization problem min { λ k ( Ω ) : Ω quasi-open set , ∫ Ω e | x | 2 / 2 d x ≤ c } has a solution.

Sign-indefinite second order differential operators on finite metric graphs
2012
The question of self-adjoint realizations of sign-indefinite second order differential operators is discussed in terms of a model problem. Operators of the type $-\frac{d}{dx} \sgn (x) \frac{d}{dx}$ are generalized to finite, not necessarily compact, metric graphs. All self-adjoint realizations are parametrized using methods from extension theory. The spectral and scattering theory of the self-adjoint realizations are studied in detail.
Optimal lower bounds for eigenvalues of linear and nonlinear Neumann problems
2013
In this paper we prove a sharp lower bound for the first non-trivial Neumann eigenvalue μ1(Ω) for the p-Laplace operator (p > 1) in a Lipschitz bounded domain Ω in ℝn. Our estimate does not require any convexity assumption on Ω and it involves the best isoperimetric constant relative to Ω. In a suitable class of convex planar domains, our bound turns out to be better than the one provided by the Payne—Weinberger inequality.
