Interpolated measures with bounded density in metric spaces satisfying the curvature-dimension conditions of Sturm
2011
We construct geodesics in the Wasserstein space of probability measure along which all the measures have an upper bound on their density that is determined by the densities of the endpoints of the geodesic. Using these geodesics we show that a local Poincar\'e inequality and the measure contraction property follow from the Ricci curvature bounds defined by Sturm. We also show for a large class of convex functionals that a local Poincar\'e inequality is implied by the weak displacement convexity of the functional.
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.
Quantitative Properties on the Steady States to A Schr\"odinger-Poisson-Slater System
2014
A relatively complete picture on the steady states of the following Schr$\ddot{o}$dinger-Poisson-Slater (SPS) system \[ \begin{cases} -\Delta Q+Q=VQ-C_{S}Q^{2}, & Q>0\text{ in }\mathbb{R}^{3}\\ Q(x)\to0, & \mbox{as }x\to\infty,\\ -\Delta V=Q^{2}, & \text{in }\mathbb{R}^{3}\\ V(x)\to0 & \mbox{as }x\to\infty. \end{cases} \] is given in this paper: existence, uniqueness, regularity and asymptotic behavior at infinity, where $C_{S}>0$ is a constant. To the author's knowledge, this is the first uniqueness result on SPS system.
A sharp lower bound for some neumann eigenvalues of the hermite operator
2013
This paper deals with the Neumann eigenvalue problem for the Hermite operator defined in a convex, possibly unbounded, planar domain $\Omega$, having one axis of symmetry passing through the origin. We prove a sharp lower bound for the first eigenvalue $\mu_1^{odd}(\Omega)$ with an associated eigenfunction odd with respect to the axis of symmetry. Such an estimate involves the first eigenvalue of the corresponding one-dimensional problem. As an immediate consequence, in the class of domains for which $\mu_1(\Omega)=\mu_1^{odd}(\Omega)$, we get an explicit lower bound for the difference between $\mu(\Omega)$ and the first Neumann eigenvalue of any strip.
Free boundary methods and non-scattering phenomena
2021
We study a question arising in inverse scattering theory: given a penetrable obstacle, does there exist an incident wave that does not scatter? We show that every penetrable obstacle with real-analytic boundary admits such an incident wave. At zero frequency, we use quadrature domains to show that there are also obstacles with inward cusps having this property. In the converse direction, under a nonvanishing condition for the incident wave, we show that there is a dichotomy for boundary points of any penetrable obstacle having this property: either the boundary is regular, or the complement of the obstacle has to be very thin near the point. These facts are proved by invoking results from t…
Rates of convergence to equilibrium for collisionless kinetic equations in slab geometry
2017
This work deals with free transport equations with partly diffuse stochastic boundary operators in slab geometry. Such equations are governed by stochastic semigroups in $L^{1}$ spaces$.\ $We prove convergence to equilibrium at the rate $O\left( t^{-\frac{k}{2(k+1)+1}}\right) \ (t\rightarrow +\infty )$ for $L^{1}$ initial data $g$ in a suitable subspace of the domain of the generator $T$ where $k\in \mathbb{N}$ depends on the properties of the boundary operators near the tangential velocities to the slab. This result is derived from a quantified version of Ingham's tauberian theorem by showing that $F_{g}(s):=\lim_{\varepsilon \rightarrow 0_{+}}\left( is+\varepsilon -T\right) ^{-1}g$ exists…
Robustness of the Gaussian concentration inequality and the Brunn–Minkowski inequality
2016
We provide a sharp quantitative version of the Gaussian concentration inequality: for every $r>0$, the difference between the measure of the $r$-enlargement of a given set and the $r$-enlargement of a half-space controls the square of the measure of the symmetric difference between the set and a suitable half-space. We also prove a similar estimate in the Euclidean setting for the enlargement with a general convex set. This is equivalent to the stability of the Brunn-Minkowski inequality for the Minkowski sum between a convex set and a generic one.
On the second-order regularity of solutions to the parabolic p-Laplace equation
2022
AbstractIn this paper, we study the second-order Sobolev regularity of solutions to the parabolic p-Laplace equation. For any p-parabolic function u, we show that $$D(\left| Du\right| ^{\frac{p-2+s}{2}}Du)$$ D ( D u p - 2 + s 2 D u ) exists as a function and belongs to $$L^{2}_{\text {loc}}$$ L loc 2 with $$s>-1$$ s > - 1 and $$1<p<\infty $$ 1 < p < ∞ . The range of s is sharp.
Zero viscosity limit of the Oseen equations in a channel
2001
Oseen equations in the channel are considered. We give an explicit solution formula in terms of the inverse heat operators and of projection operators. This solution formula is used for the analysis of the behavior of the Oseen equations in the zero viscosity limit. We prove that the solution of Oseen equations converges in W1,2 to the solution of the linearized Euler equations outside the boundary layer and to the solution of the linearized Prandtl equations inside the boundary layer. © 2001 Society for Industrial and Applied Mathematics.
Cheeger-harmonic functions in metric measure spaces revisited
2013
Let $(X,d,\mu)$ be a complete metric measure space, with $\mu$ a locally doubling measure, that supports a local weak $L^2$-Poincar\'e inequality. By assuming a heat semigroup type curvature condition, we prove that Cheeger-harmonic functions are Lipschitz continuous on $(X,d,\mu)$. Gradient estimates for Cheeger-harmonic functions and solutions to a class of non-linear Poisson type equations are presented.
