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…
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.
Appearances of pseudo-bosons from Black-Scholes equation
2016
It is a well known fact that the Black-Scholes equation admits an alternative representation as a Schr\"odinger equation expressed in terms of a non self-adjoint hamiltonian. We show how {\em pseudo-bosons}, linear or not, naturally arise in this context, and how they can be used in the computation of the pricing kernel.
Resonances over a potential well in an island
2020
In this paper we study the distribution of scattering resonances for a multidimensional semi-classical Schr\"odinger operator, associated to a potential well in an island at energies close to the maximal one that limits the separation of the well and the surrounding sea.
A Parametric Dirichlet Problem for Systems of Quasilinear Elliptic Equations With Gradient Dependence
2016
The aim of this article is to study the Dirichlet boundary value problem for systems of equations involving the (pi, qi) -Laplacian operators and parameters μi≥0 (i = 1,2) in the principal part. Another main point is that the nonlinearities in the reaction terms are allowed to depend on both the solution and its gradient. We prove results ensuring existence, uniqueness, and asymptotic behavior with respect to the parameters.
A quantitative reverse Faber-Krahn inequality for the first Robin eigenvalue with negative boundary parameter
2021
The aim of this paper is to prove a quantitative form of a reverse Faber-Krahn type inequality for the first Robin Laplacian eigenvalueλβwith negative boundary parameter among convex sets of prescribed perimeter. In that framework, the ball is the only maximizer forλβand the distance from the optimal set is considered in terms of Hausdorff distance. The key point of our stategy is to prove a quantitative reverse Faber-Krahn inequality for the first eigenvalue of a Steklov-type problem related to the original Robin problem.
Singular Double Phase Problems with Convection
2020
We consider a nonlinear Dirichlet problem driven by the sum of a $p$ -Laplacian and of a $q$ -Laplacian (double phase equation). In the reaction we have the combined effects of a singular term and of a gradient dependent term (convection) which is locally defined. Using a mixture of variational and topological methods, together with suitable truncation and comparison techniques, we prove the existence of a positive smooth solution.
An upper bound for nonlinear eigenvalues on convex domains by means of the isoperimetric deficit
2010
We prove an upper bound for the first Dirichlet eigenvalue of the p-Laplacian operator on convex domains. The result implies a sharp inequality where, for any convex set, the Faber-Krahn deficit is dominated by the isoperimetric deficit.
On Boundary Value Problems for ϕ-Laplacian on the Semi-Infinite Interval
2017
The Dirichlet problem and the problem with functional boundary condition for ϕ-Laplacian on the semi-infinite interval are studied as well as solutions between the lower and upper functions.
Positive solutions for singular (p, 2)-equations
2019
We consider a nonlinear nonparametric Dirichlet problem driven by the sum of a p-Laplacian and of a Laplacian (a (p, 2)-equation) and a reaction which involves a singular term and a $$(p-1)$$ -superlinear perturbation. Using variational tools and suitable truncation and comparison techniques, we show that the problem has two positive smooth solutions.
