Complex powers and non-compact manifolds
2002
We study the complex powers $A^{z}$ of an elliptic, strictly positive pseudodifferential operator $A$ using an axiomatic method that combines the approaches of Guillemin and Seeley. In particular, we introduce a class of algebras, ``extended Weyl algebras,'' whose definition was inspired by Guillemin's paper on the subject. An extended Weyl algebra can be thought of as an algebra of ``abstract pseudodifferential operators.'' Many algebras of pseudodifferential operators are extended Weyl algebras. Several results typical for algebras of pseudodifferential operators (asymptotic completeness, construction of Sobolev spaces, boundedness between apropriate Sobolev spaces, >...) generalize to…
Duality theory for multi-marginal optimal transport with repulsive costs in metric spaces
2018
In this paper we extend the duality theory of the multi-marginal optimal transport problem for cost functions depending on a decreasing function of the distance (not necessarily bounded). This class of cost functions appears in the context of SCE Density Functional Theory introduced in "Strong-interaction limit of density-functional theory" by M. Seidl.
Positive solutions for singular double phase problems
2021
Abstract We study the existence of positive solutions for a class of double phase Dirichlet equations which have the combined effects of a singular term and of a parametric superlinear term. The differential operator of the equation is the sum of a p-Laplacian and of a weighted q-Laplacian ( q p ) with discontinuous weight. Using the Nehari method, we show that for all small values of the parameter λ > 0 , the equation has at least two positive solutions.
A two-phase problem with Robin conditions on the free boundary
2020
We study for the first time a two-phase free boundary problem in which the solution satisfies a Robin boundary condition. We consider the case in which the solution is continuous across the free boundary and we prove an existence and a regularity result for minimizers of the associated variational problem. Finally, in the appendix, we give an example of a class of Steiner symmetric minimizers. peerReviewed
Local minimizers and gamma-convergence for nonlocal perimeters in Carnot groups
2020
We prove the local minimality of halfspaces in Carnot groups for a class of nonlocal functionals usually addressed as nonlocal perimeters. Moreover, in a class of Carnot groups in which the De Giorgi's rectifiability Theorem holds, we provide a lower bound for the $\Gamma$-liminf of the rescaled energy in terms of the horizontal perimeter.
Positivity, complex FIOs, and Toeplitz operators
2018
International audience; We establish a characterization of complex linear canonical transformations that are positive with respect to a pair of strictly plurisubharmonic quadratic weights. As an application, we show that the boundedness of a class of Toeplitz operators on the Bargmann space is implied by the boundedness of their Weyl symbols.
The linearized Calderón problem on complex manifolds
2019
International audience; In this note we show that on any compact subdomain of a Kähler manifold that admits sufficiently many global holomorphic functions , the products of harmonic functions form a complete set. This gives a positive answer to the linearized anisotropic Calderón problem on a class of complex manifolds that includes compact subdomains of Stein manifolds and sufficiently small subdomains of Kähler manifolds. Some of these manifolds do not admit limiting Carleman weights, and thus cannot by treated by standard methods for the Calderón problem in higher dimensions. The argument is based on constructing Morse holo-morphic functions with approximately prescribed critical points.…
Classification and non-existence results for weak solutions to quasilinear elliptic equations with Neumann or Robin boundary conditions
2021
Abstract We classify positive solutions to a class of quasilinear equations with Neumann or Robin boundary conditions in convex domains. Our main tool is an integral formula involving the trace of some relevant quantities for the problem. Under a suitable condition on the nonlinearity, a relevant consequence of our results is that we can extend to weak solutions a celebrated result obtained for stable solutions by Casten and Holland and by Matano.
Singular solutions to p-Laplacian type equations
1999
We construct singular solutions to equations $div\mathcal{A}(x,\nabla u) = 0,$ similar to the p-Laplacian, that tend to ∞ on a given closed set of p-capacity zero. Moreover, we show that every Gδ-set of vanishing p-capacity is the infinity set of some A-superharmonic function.
A numerical study of attraction/repulsion collective behavior models: 3D particle analyses and 1D kinetic simulations
2013
39p; International audience; We study at particle and kinetic level a collective behavior model based on three phenomena: self-propulsion, friction (Rayleigh effect) and an attractive/repulsive (Morse) potential rescaled so that the total mass of the system remains constant independently of the number of particles N . In the first part of the paper, we introduce the particle model: the agents are numbered and described by their position and velocity. We iden- tify five parameters that govern the possible asymptotic states for this system (clumps, spheres, dispersion, mills, rigid-body rotation, flocks) and perform a numerical analysis on the 3D setting. Then, in the second part of the paper…
