Approximation of W1, Sobolev homeomorphism by diffeomorphisms and the signs of the Jacobian

2018

Abstract Let Ω ⊂ R n , n ≥ 4 , be a domain and 1 ≤ p [ n / 2 ] , where [ a ] stands for the integer part of a. We construct a homeomorphism f ∈ W 1 , p ( ( − 1 , 1 ) n , R n ) such that J f = det ⁡ D f > 0 on a set of positive measure and J f 0 on a set of positive measure. It follows that there are no diffeomorphisms (or piecewise affine homeomorphisms) f k such that f k → f in W 1 , p .

Boundedness and spectral invariance for standard pseudodifferential operators on anisotropically weighted LP-Sobolev spaces

1990

It is shown that pseudodifferential operators with symbols in the standard classes S ρ,δ m (ℝn) define bounded maps between large classes of weighted LP-Sobolev spaces where the growth of the weight does not have to be isotropic. Moreover, the spectrum is independent of the choice of the space.

ENTROPY SOLUTIONS IN THE STUDY OF ANTIPLANE SHEAR DEFORMATIONS FOR ELASTIC SOLIDS

2000

The concept of entropy solution was recently introduced in the study of Dirichlet problems for elliptic equations and extended for parabolic equations with nonlinear boundary conditions. The aim of this paper is to use the method of entropy solutions in the study of a new problem which arise in the theory of elasticity. More precisely, we consider here the infinitesimal antiplane shear deformation of a cylindrical elastic body subjected to given forces and in a frictional contact with a rigid foundation. The elastic constitutive law is physically nonlinear and the friction is described by a static law. We present a variational formulation of the model and prove the existence and the uniquen…

In this article we apply the S(M, g)–calculus of L. Hormander and, in particular, results concerning the spectral invariance of the algebra of operators of order zero in ℒ(L2(ℝn)) to study generators of Feller semigroups. The core of the article is the proof of the invertibility of λ Id + P for a strongly elliptic operator P in Ψ(M, g) and suitable weight functions M and metrics g. The proof depends highly on precise estimates of the remainder term in asymptotic expansions of the product symbol in Weyl and Kohn–Nirenberg quantization. Due to the Hille–Yosida–Ray theorem and a theorem of Courrege, the result concerning the invertibility of λ Id + P is applicable to obtain sufficient conditio…

Mappings of finite distortion: Monotonicity and continuity

2001

We study mappings f = ( f1, ..., fn) : Ω → Rn in the Sobolev space W loc (Ω,R n), where Ω is a connected, open subset of Rn with n ≥ 2. Thus, for almost every x ∈ Ω, we can speak of the linear transformation D f(x) : Rn → Rn, called differential of f at x. Its norm is defined by |D f(x)| = sup{|D f(x)h| : h ∈ Sn−1}. We shall often identify D f(x) with its matrix, and denote by J(x, f ) = det D f(x) the Jacobian determinant. Thus, using the language of differential forms, we can write

On the regularity of the Hardy-Littlewood maximal operator on subdomains of ℝn

2010

AbstractWe establish the continuity of the Hardy-Littlewood maximal operator on W1,p(Ω), where Ω ⊂ ℝn is an arbitrary subdomain and 1 < p < ∞. Moreover, boundedness and continuity of the same operator is proved on the Triebel-Lizorkin spaces Fps,q (Ω) for 1 < p,q < ∞ and 0 < s < 1.

Norm continuity and related notions for semigroups on Banach spaces

1996

We find some conditions on a c0-semigroup on a Banach space and its resolvent connected with the norm continuity of the semigroup. We use them to get characterizations of norm continuous, eventually norm continuous and eventually compact semigroups on Hilbert spaces in terms of the growth of the resolvent of their generator.

Estimates of maximal functions measuring local smoothness

1999

Letη be a nondecreasing function on (0, 1] such thatη(t)/t decreases andη(+0)=0. Letf ∈L(I n ) (I≡[0,1]. Set $${\mathcal{N}}_\eta f(x) = \sup \frac{1}{{\left| Q \right|\eta (\left| Q \right|^{1/n} )}} \smallint _Q \left| {f(t) - f(x)} \right|dt,$$ , where the supremum is taken over all cubes containing the pointx. Forη=t α (0<α≤1) this definition was given by A.Calderon. In the paper we prove estimates of the maximal functions $${\mathcal{N}}_\eta f$$ , along with some embedding theorems. In particular, we prove the following Sobolev type inequality: if $$1 \leqslant p< q< \infty , \theta \equiv n(1/p - 1/q)< 1, and \eta (t) \leqslant t^\theta \sigma (t),$$ , then $$\parallel {\mathcal{N}}_…

Locally Supported Wavelets on Manifolds with Applications to the 2D Sphere

1999

Abstract In this paper we present a construction principle for locally supported wavelets on manifolds once a multiresolution analysis is given. The wavelets provide a stable (or unconditional) basis for a scale of Sobolev spaces H s , 0 ≤ s ≤ s . We examine a fast wavelet transform with almost optimal complexity. For the two-dimensional sphere we construct a multiresolution analysis generated by continuous splines that are bilinear with respect to some special spherical grid. In our approach the poles are not exceptional points concerning the approximation power or the stability of the wavelet basis. Finally we present some numerical applications to singularity detection and the analysis o…
