Isotropic stochastic flow of homeomorphisms on Sd for the critical Sobolev exponent

2006

Abstract In this work, we shall deal with the critical Sobolev isotropic Brownian flows on the sphere S d . Based on previous works by O. Raimond and LeJan and Raimond (see [O. Raimond, Ann. Inst. H. Poincare 35 (1999) 313–354] and [Y. LeJan, O. Raimond, Ann. of Prob. 30 (2002) 826–873], we prove that the associated flows are flows of homeomorphisms.

Bi-Sobolev extensions

2022

We give a full characterization of circle homeomorphisms which admit a homeomorphic extension to the unit disk with finite bi-Sobolev norm. As a special case, a bi-conformal variant of the famous Beurling-Ahlfors extension theorem is obtained. Furthermore we show that the existing extension techniques such as applying either the harmonic or the Beurling-Ahlfors operator work poorly in the degenerated setting. This also gives an affirmative answer to a question of Karafyllia and Ntalampekos.

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 .

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

Let Ω ⊂ R n, n ≥ 4, be a domain and 1 ≤ p 0 on a set of positive measure and Jf < 0 on a set of positive measure. It follows that there are no diffeomorphisms (or piecewise affine homeomorphisms) fk such that fk → f in W1,p . peerReviewed

Gradient Estimate for Solutions to Poisson Equations in Metric Measure Spaces

2011

Let $(X,d)$ be a complete, pathwise connected metric measure space with locally Ahlfors $Q$-regular measure $\mu$, where $Q>1$. Suppose that $(X,d,\mu)$ supports a (local) $(1,2)$-Poincar\'e inequality and a suitable curvature lower bound. For the Poisson equation $\Delta u=f$ on $(X,d,\mu)$, Moser-Trudinger and Sobolev inequalities are established for the gradient of $u$. The local H\"older continuity with optimal exponent of solutions is obtained.

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…
