Sobolev classes of Banach space-valued functions and quasiconformal mappings
2001
We give a definition for the class of Sobolev functions from a metric measure space into a Banach space. We give various characterizations of Sobolev classes and study the absolute continuity in measure of Sobolev mappings in the “borderline case”. We show under rather weak assumptions on the source space that quasisymmetric homeomorphisms belong to a Sobolev space of borderline degree; in particular, they are absolutely continuous. This leads to an analytic characterization of quasiconformal mappings between Ahlfors regular Loewner spaces akin to the classical Euclidean situation. As a consequence, we deduce that quasisymmetric maps respect the Cheeger differentials of Lipschitz functions …
Functional Calculus and Fredholm Criteria for Boundary Value Problems on Noncompact Manifolds
1992
A Boutet de Monvel type calculus is developed for boundary value problems on (possibly) noncompact manifolds. It is based on a class of weighted symbols and Sobolev spaces. If the underlying manifold is compact, one recovers the standard calculus. The following is proven:
Maximal function estimates and self-improvement results for Poincaré inequalities
2018
Our main result is an estimate for a sharp maximal function, which implies a Keith–Zhong type self-improvement property of Poincaré inequalities related to differentiable structures on metric measure spaces. As an application, we give structure independent representation for Sobolev norms and universality results for Sobolev spaces. peerReviewed
Quasihyperbolic boundary conditions and Poincaré domains
2002
We prove that a domain in ${\Bbb R}^n$ whose quasihyperbolic metric satisfies a logarithmic growth condition with coefficient $\beta\le 1$ is a (q,p)-\Poincare domain for all p and q satisfying $p\in[1,\infty)\cap(n-n\beta,n)$ and $q\in[p,\beta p^*)$ , where $p^*=np/(n-p)$ denotes the Sobolev conjugate exponent. An elementary example shows that the given ranges for p and q are sharp. The proof makes use of estimates for a variational capacity. When p=2 we give an application to the solvability of the Neumann problem on domains with irregular boundaries. We also discuss the relationship between this growth condition on the quasihyperbolic metric and the s-John condition.
Stochastic differential equations with coefficients in Sobolev spaces
2010
We consider It\^o SDE $\d X_t=\sum_{j=1}^m A_j(X_t) \d w_t^j + A_0(X_t) \d t$ on $\R^d$. The diffusion coefficients $A_1,..., A_m$ are supposed to be in the Sobolev space $W_\text{loc}^{1,p} (\R^d)$ with $p>d$, and to have linear growth; for the drift coefficient $A_0$, we consider two cases: (i) $A_0$ is continuous whose distributional divergence $\delta(A_0)$ w.r.t. the Gaussian measure $\gamma_d$ exists, (ii) $A_0$ has the Sobolev regularity $W_\text{loc}^{1,p'}$ for some $p'>1$. Assume $\int_{\R^d} \exp\big[\lambda_0\bigl(|\delta(A_0)| + \sum_{j=1}^m (|\delta(A_j)|^2 +|\nabla A_j|^2)\bigr)\big] \d\gamma_d0$, in the case (i), if the pathwise uniqueness of solutions holds, then the push-f…
Spectral invariance, ellipticity, and the Fredholm property for pseudodifferential operators on weighted Sobolev spaces
1992
The pseudodifferential operators with symbols in the Grushin classes \~S inf0 supρ,δ , 0 ≤ δ < ρ ≤ 1, of slowly varying symbols are shown to form spectrally invariant unital Frecher-*-algebras (Ψ*-algebras) in L(L 2(R n )) and in L(H γ st ) for weighted Sobolev spaces H infγ sup defined via a weight d function γ. In all cases, the Fredholm property of an operator can be characterized by uniform ellipticity of the symbol. This gives a converse to theorems of Grushin and Kumano-Ta-Taniguchi. Both, the spectrum and the Fredholm spectrum of an operator turn out to be independent of the choices of s, t and γ. The characterization of the Fredholm property by uniform ellipticity leads to an index …
Geometric Properties of Planar BV -Extension Domains
2009
We investigate geometric properties of those planar domains that are extension for functions with bounded variation.We start from a characterization of such domains given by Burago–Maz'ya and prove that a bounded, simply connected domain is a BV -extension domain if and only if its com- plement is quasiconvex. We further prove that the extension property is a bi-Lipschitz invariant and give applications to Sobolev extension domains.
On the continuity of discrete maximal operators in Sobolev spaces
2014
We investigate the continuity of discrete maximal operators in Sobolev space W 1;p (R n ). A counterexample is given as well as it is shown that the continuity follows under certain sucient assumptions. Especially, our research verifies that for the continuity in Sobolev spaces the role of the partition of the unity used in the construction of the maximal operator is very delicate.
Extensions and Imbeddings
1998
AbstractWe establish a connection between the Sobolev imbedding theorem and the extendability of Sobolev functions. As applications we give geometric criteria for extendability and give a result on the dependence of the extension property on the exponentp.
On approximation of a class of stochastic integrals and interpolation
2004
Given a diffusion Y = (Y_{t})_{t \in [0,T]} we give different equivalent conditions so that a stochastic integral has an L 2-approximation rate of n −η, {\rm \eta \in (0,1/2],} if one approximates by integrals over piece-wise constant integrands where equidistant time nets of cardinality n + 1 are used. In particular, we obtain assertions in terms of smoothness properties of g(Y T ) in the sense of Malliavin calculus. After optimizing over non-equidistant time-nets of cardinality n + 1 in case {\rm \eta > 0} , it turns out that one always obtains a rate of n^{ - 1/2}, which is optimal. This applies to all functions g obtained in an appropriate way by the real interpolation method between th…
