By using a time slicing procedure, we represent the solution operator of a second-order parabolic pseudodifferential equation on $\R^n$ as an infinite product of zero-order pseudodifferential operators. A similar representation formula is proven for parabolic differential equations on a compact Riemannian manifold. Each operator in the multi-product is given by a simple explicit Ansatz. The proof is based on an effective use of the Weyl calculus and the Fefferman-Phong inequality.
The goal of the present paper is to present a new approach to the construction of asymptotic (approximating) solutions to parabolic PDE by using the characteristics.
In this article we study the Cauchy problem for a new class of parabolic-type pseudodifferential equations with variable coefficients for which the fundamental solutions are transition density functions of Markov processes in the four dimensional vector space over the field of p-adic numbers.
We give a short, simple proof of maximal regularity for linear parabolic evolution equations on manifolds with cylindrical ends by making use of pseudodifferential parametrices and the concept of R-boundedness for the resolvent.
We consider toroidal pseudodifferential operators with operator-valued symbols, their mapping properties and the generation of analytic semigroups on vector-valued Besov and Sobolev spaces. We show that a parabolic toroiodal pseudodifferential operator generates an analytic semigroup both on Banach space-valued Besov spaces and on Banach space-valued Sobolev spaces. Here, no condition on the Banach space is imposed. For the proof of the Sobolev space result, we establish a uniform estimate on the kernel which is given as an infinite parameter-dependent sum. An application to abstract non-auton…
In this paper a bisingular pseudodifferential calculus, along the lines of the one introduced by L. Rodino in [12], is developed in the global setting of a product of compact Lie groups. The approach follows that introduced by M. Ruzhansky and V. Turunen [13] (see also V. Fischer [5]), in that it exploits the harmonic analysis of the groups involved.
In this article a class of additive invariant positive selfadjoint pseudodifferential unbounded operators on $L^{2}(\mathbb{A}_{f})$, where $\mathbb{A}_{f}$ is the ring of finite adéles of the rational numbers, is considered to state a Cauchy problem of parabolic--type equations. These operators come from a set of additive invariant non-Archimedean metrics on $\mathbb{A}_{f}$. The fundamental solutions of these parabolic equations determines normal transition functions of Markov process on $\mathbb{A}_{f}$. Using the fractional Laplacian on the Archimedean place, $\mathbb{R}$, a class of parab…
The Volterra calculus is a simple and powerful pseudodifferential tool for inverting parabolic equations and it has also found many applications in geometric analysis. On the other hand, an important property in the theory of pseudodifferential operators is the asymptotic completeness, which allows us to construct parametrices modulo smoothing operators. In this paper we present new and fairly elementary proofs the asymptotic completeness of the Volterra calculus.
The goal in this paper is to demonstrate a new method for constructing global-in-time approximate (asymptotic) solutions of (pseudodifferential) parabolic equations with a small parameter. We show that, in the leading term, such a solution can be constructed by using characteristics, more precisely, by using solutions of the corresponding Hamiltonian system and without using any integral representation. For completeness, we also briefly describe the well-known scheme developed by V.P.Maslov for constructing global-in-time solutions.
We study the Cauchy problem for fully nonlinear (stochastic) parabolic partial differential equations. We provide both in deterministic and stochastic case the existence of a maximal defined solution for the problem and we provide suitable blow-up criterion. The key idea is the use of the paradifferential operator calculus in order to reduce the fully nonlinear problem into an abstract quasilinear (stochastic) parabolic equation. This allows us to use some recent results on abstract quasilinear (stochastic) evolution equations in Banach spaces. To do so, we analyse the properties of the paradi…
We study the asymptotic behavior of the counting function of tensor products of operators, in the cases where the factors are either pseudodifferential operators on closed manifolds, or pseudodifferential operators of Shubin type on $\mathbb{R}^n$, respectively. We obtain, in particular, the sharpness of the remainder term in the corresponding Weyl formulae, which we prove by means of the analysis of some explicit examples.
In this paper we obtain new estimates for bilinear pseudodifferential operators with symbol in the class $BS_{1,1}^m$, when both arguments belong to Triebel-Lizorkin spaces of the type $F_{p,q}^{n/p}(\mathbb{R}^n)$. The inequalities are obtained as a consequence of a refinement of the classical Sobolev embedding $F^{n/p}_{p,q}(\mathbb{R}^n)\hookrightarrow\mathrm{bmo}(\mathbb{R}^n)$, where we replace $\mathrm{bmo}(\mathbb{R}^n)$ by an appropriate subspace which contains $L^\infty(\mathbb{R}^n)$. As an application, we study the product of functions on $F_{p,q}^{n/p}(\mathbb{R}^n)$ when $1<p<\inf…
In this paper we investigate the zero-relaxation limit of the following multi-D semilinear hyperbolic system in pseudodifferential form: W_{t}(x,t) + (1/epsilon) A(x,D) W(x,t) = (1/epsilon^2) B(x,W(x,t)) + (1/epsilon) D(W(x,t)) + E(W(x,t)). We analyse the singular convergence, as epsilon tends to 0, in the case which leads to a limit system of parabolic type. The analysis is carried out by using the following steps: (i) We single out algebraic ``structure conditions'' on the full system, motivated by formal asymptotics, by some examples of discrete velocity models in kinetic theories. (ii) We …
In this article, we shall construct the resolvent of Laplacian at high energies near the spectrum on non-product conic manifolds with a single cone tip. Microlocally, the resolvent kernel is the sum of b-pseudodifferential operators, scattering pseudodifferential operators and intersecting Legendrian distributions. As an application, we shall establish Strichartz estimates for Schrödinger equations on non-compact manifolds with multiple non-product conic singularities.
Boundedness properties for pseudodifferential operators with symbols in the bilinear Hörmander classes of sufficiently negative order are proved. The results are obtained in the scale of Lebesgue spaces and, in some cases, end-point estimates involving weak-type spaces and BMO are provided as well. From the Lebesgue space estimates, Sobolev ones are then easily obtained using functional calculus and interpolation. In addition, it is shown that, in contrast with the linear case, operators associated with symbols of order zero may fail to be bounded on products of Lebesgue spaces.
Classically, Gohberg-type Lemmas provide lower bounds for the distance of suitable pseudodifferential operators acting in a Hilbert space to the ideal of compact operators, in terms of "the behavior of the symbol at infinity". In this article the pseudodifferential operators are associated to a compact Abelian group $X$ and an important role is played by its Pontryagin dual $\widehat X$. Hörmander-type classes of symbols are not always available; they will be replaced by crossed product $C^*$-algebras involving a vanishing oscillation condition, which anyway is more general even in the particu…
For operators belonging either to a class of global bisingular pseudodifferential operators on $R^m \times R^n$ or to a class of bisingular pseudodifferential operators on a product $M \times N$ of two closed smooth manifolds, we show the equivalence of their ellipticity (defined by the invertibility of certain associated homogeneous principal symbols) and their Fredholm mapping property in associated scales of Sobolev spaces. We also prove the spectral invariance of these operator classes and then extend these results to the even larger classes of Toeplitz type operators.
In this paper we study the Cauchy problem for new classes of parabolic type pseudodifferential equations over the rings of finite adeles and adeles. We show that the adelic topology is metrizable and give an explicit metric. We find explicit representations of the fundamental solutions (the heat kernels). These fundamental solutions are transition functions of Markov processes which are adelic analogues of the Archimedean Brownian motion. We show that the Cauchy problems for these equations are well-posed and find explicit representations of the evolution semigroup and formulas for the solutio…
We prove a product estimate that allows to estimate the quadratic first order nonlinearity of the harmonic map flow in the $L^p$ norm. Then the parabolic analogue of Weyl's lemma for the Lapace operator is established. Both results are applied to prove regularity for the heat flow by parabolic bootstrapping.
Bilinear pseudodifferential operators with symbols in the bilinear analog of all the Hörmander classes are considered and the possibility of a symbolic calculus for the transposes of the operators in such classes is investigated. Precise results about which classes are closed under transposition and can be characterized in terms of asymptotic expansions are presented. This work extends the results for more limited classes studied before in the literature and, hence, allows the use of the symbolic calculus (when it exists) as an alternative way to recover the boundedness on products of Lebesgue…
First, we reconsider the magnetic pseudodifferential calculus and show that for a large class of non-decaying symbols, their corresponding magnetic pseudodifferential operators can be represented, up to a global gauge transform, as generalized Hofstadter-like, bounded matrices. As a by-product, we prove a Calderón-Vaillancourt type result. Second, we make use of this matrix representation and prove sharp results on the spectrum location when the magnetic field strength $b$ varies. Namely, when the operators are self-adjoint, we show that their spectrum (as a set) is at least $1/2$-Hölder conti…
We present in this paper the construction of a pseudodifferential calculus on smooth non-compact manifolds associated to a globally defined and coordinate independant complete symbol calculus, that generalizes the standard pseudodifferential calculus on $\R^n$. We consider the case of manifolds $M$ with linearization in the sense of Bokobza-Haggiag, such that the associated (abstract) exponential map provides global diffeomorphisms of $M$ with $\R^n$ at any point. Cartan--Hadamard manifolds are special cases of such manifolds. The abstract exponential map encodes a notion of infinity on the ma…
We produce, on general homogeneous groups, an analogue of the usual Hörmander pseudodifferential calculus on Euclidean space, at least as far as products and adjoints are concerned. In contrast to earlier works, we do not limit ourselves to analogues of classical symbols, nor to the Heisenberg group. The key technique is to understand ``multipliers'' of any given order j, and the operators of convolution with their inverse Fourier transforms, which we here call convolution operators of order j. (Here a ``multiplier'' is an analogue of a Hörmander-type symbol a(x,ξ), which is independent of x.)…
A mild formulation for stochastic parabolic Anderson model with time-homogeneous Gaussian potential suggests a way of defining a solution to obtain its optimal regularity. Two different interpretations in the equation or in the mild formulation are possible with usual pathwise product and the Wick product: the usual pathwise interpretation is mainly discussed. We emphasize that a modified version of parabolic Schauder estimates is a key idea for the existence and uniqueness of a mild solution. In particular, the mild formulation is crucial to investigate a relation between the equation with us…
We characterize the groupoids for which an operator is Fredholm if, and only if, its principal symbol and all its boundary restrictions are invertible. A groupoid with this property is called {\em Fredholm}. Using results on the Effros-Hahn conjecture, we show that an almost amenable, Hausdorff, second countable groupoid is Fredholm. Many groupoids, and hence many pseudodifferential operators appearing in practice, fit into this framework. In particular, one can use these results to characterize the Fredholm operators on manifolds with cylindrical and poly-cylindrical ends, on manifolds that a…
We define the equivariant family index of a family of elliptic operators invariant with respect to the free action of a bundle $\GR$ of Lie groups. If the fibers of $\GR \to B$ are simply-connected solvable, we then compute the Chern character of the (equivariant family) index, the result being given by an Atiyah-Singer type formula. We also study traces on the corresponding algebras of pseudodifferential operators and obtain a local index formula for such families of invariant operators, using the Fedosov product. For topologically non-trivial bundles we have to use methods of non-commutative…
One can argue that on flat space $\mathbb{R}^d$ the Weyl quantization is the most natural choice and that it has the best properties (e.g. symplectic covariance, real symbols correspond to Hermitian operators). On a generic manifold, there is no distinguished quantization, and a quantization is typically defined chart-wise. Here we introduce a quantization that, we believe, has the best properties for studying natural operators on pseudo-Riemannian manifolds. It is a generalization of the Weyl quantization - we call it the balanced geodesic Weyl quantization. Among other things, we prove that …
We perform a time-frequency analysis of Fourier multipliers and, more generally, pseudodifferential operators with symbols of Gevrey, analytic and ultra-analytic regularity. As an application we show that Gabor frames, which provide optimally sparse decompositions for Schroedinger-type propagators, reveal to be an even more efficient tool for representing solutions to a wide class of evolution operators with constant coefficients, including weakly hyperbolic and parabolic-type operators. Besides the class of operators, the main novelty of the paper is the proof of super-exponential (as opposit…
This paper deals with the quasilinear parabolic-elliptic chemotaxis system with logistic source and nonlinear production, \begin{equation*} \begin{cases} u_t=\nabla \cdot (D(u) \nabla u) - \nabla \cdot (S(u)\nabla v) + λu - μu^κ, & x\inΩ,\ t>0, \\[1mm] 0=Δv - \overline{M_f}(t) + f(u), & x\inΩ,\ t>0, \end{cases} \end{equation*} where $λ>0$, $μ>0$, $κ>1$ and $\overline{M_f}(t):=\frac{1}{|Ω|}\int_Ω f(u(x,t))\,dx$, and $D$, $S$ and $f$ are functions generalizing the prototypes \begin{align*} D(u)=(u+1)^{m-1},\quad S(u)=u(u+1)^{α-1}\quad\mbox{and}\quad f(u)=u^\ell \end{align*} with $m\in\mathbb{R}$…
Aim of this paper is to extend the continuous dependence estimates proved in \cite{JK1} to quasi-monotone systems of fully nonlinear second-order parabolic equations. As by-product of these estimates, we get an Hölder estimate for bounded solutions of systems and a rate of convergence estimate for the vanishing viscosity approximation. In the second part of the paper we employ similar techniques to study the periodic homogenization of quasi-monotone systems of fully nonlinear second-order uniformly parabolic equations. Finally, some examples are discussed.
In this article, we consider a semilinear pseudo parabolic heat equation with the nonlinearity which is the product of logarithmic and polynomial functions. Here we prove the global existence of solution to the problem for arbitrary dimension $n \geq 1$ and power index $p>1$. Asymptotic behaviour of the solution has been addressed at different energy levels. Moreover, we prove that the global solution indeed decays with an exponential rate. Finally, sufficient conditions are provided under which blow up of solutions take place.

In Hörmander inner product spaces, we investigate initial-boundary value problems for an arbitrary second order parabolic partial differential equation and the Dirichlet or a general first-order boundary conditions. We prove that the operators corresponding to these problems are isomorphisms between appropriate Hörmander spaces. The regularity of the functions which form these spaces is characterized by a pair of number parameters and a function parameter varying regularly at infinity in the sense of Karamata. Owing to this function parameter, the Hörmander spaces describe the regularity of fu…
We study the Cauchy problem for the semilinear heat equation with the singular potential, called the Hardy-Sobolev parabolic equation, in the energy space. The aim of this paper is to determine a necessary and sufficient condition on initial data below or at the ground state, under which the behavior of solutions is completely dichotomized. More precisely, the solution exists globally in time and its energy decays to zero in time, or it blows up in finite or infinite time. The result on the dichotomy for the corresponding Dirichlet problem is also shown as a by-product via comparison principle…
We study a class of linear parabolic equations in divergence form with degenerate coefficients on the upper half space. Specifically, the equations are considered in $(-\infty, T) \times \mathbb{R}^d_+$, where $\mathbb{R}^d_+ = \{x \in \mathbb{R}^d\,:\, x_d>0\}$ and $T\in {(-\infty, \infty]}$ is given, and the diffusion matrices are the product of $x_d$ and bounded uniformly elliptic matrices, which are degenerate at $\{x_d=0\}$. As such, our class of equations resembles well the corresponding class of degenerate viscous Hamilton-Jacobi equations. We obtain wellposedness results and regularity…
We consider a mixed type boundary value problem for a class of degenerate parabolic-hyperbolic equations. Namely, we consider a Cartesian product domain and split its boundary into two parts. In one of them we impose a Dirichlet boundary condition; in the other, we impose a Neumann condition. We apply a normal trace formula for $L^2$-divergence-measure fields to prove a new strong trace property in the part of the boundary where the Neumann condition is imposed. We prove existence and uniqueness of the entropy solution. This is a revised corrected version of the paper published in Arch.\ Ratio…
In this paper, we determine the convergence speed of an upscaling of a pseudo-parabolic system containing drift terms with scale separation of size $ε\ll 1$. Both the upscaling and convergence speed determination exploit a natural spatial-temporal decomposition, which splits the pseudo-parabolic system into a spatial elliptic partial differential equation and a temporal ordinary differential equation. We extend the applicability to space-time domains that are a product of spatial and temporal domains, such as a time-independent perforated spatial domain. Finally, for special cases we show conv…
The stochastic parabolic equations with random potentials, driving forces and initial conditions are considered. The Wick product is used to give sense to the product of two generalized stochastic processes, and the existence and uniqueness of solutions are proved via the chaos expansion method from white noise analysis. The estimates on coefficients in the chaos expansion form of the solutions are provided.
We study a non-autonomous parabolic equation with almost-periodic, rapidly oscillating principal part and nonlinear interactions. We associate to the equation a skew-product semiflow and, for a special class of nonlinearities, we define the Conley index of an isolated invariant set. As the frequency of the oscillations tends to infinity, we prove that every isolated invariant set of the averaged autonomous equation can be continued to an isolated invariant set of the skew-product semiflow associated to the non-autonomous equation. Finally, we illustrate some examples in which the Conley index …
We are considering the asimptotic behavior as $t\to\infty$ of solutions of the Cauchy problem for parabolic second order equations with time periodic coefficients. The problem is reduced to considering degenerate time-homogeneous diffusion processes on the product of a unit circle and Euclidean space.
In this paper we establish a scale invariant Harnack inequality for the fractional powers of parabolic operators $(\partial_t - \mathscr{L})^s$, $0<s<1$, where $\mathscr{L}$ is the infinitesimal generator of a class of symmetric semigroups. As a by-product we also obtain a similar result for the nonlocal operators $(-\mathscr{L})^s$. Our focus is on non-Euclidean situations.
We apply functional analytical and variational methods in order to study well-posedness and qualitative properties of evolution equations on product Hilbert spaces. To this aim we introduce an algebraic formalism for matrices of sesquilinear mappings. We apply our results to parabolic problems of different nature: a coupled diffusive system arising in neurobiology, a strongly damped wave equation, a heat equation with dynamic boundary conditions, and a general semilinear Hodgkin--Huxley sytem.
We propose a simple construction of the solution to the continuum parabolic Anderson model on $\mathbf{R}^2$ which does not rely on any elaborate arguments and makes extensive use of the linearity of the equation. A logarithmic renormalisation is required to counterbalance the divergent product appearing in the equation. Furthermore, we use time-dependent weights in our spaces of distributions in order to construct the solution on the unbounded space $\mathbf{R}^2$.
This article focuses on parabolic equations with rough diffusion coefficients which are ill-posed in the classical sense of distributions due to the presence of a singular forcing. Inspired by the philosophy of rough paths and regularity structures, we introduce a notion of modelled distribution which is suitable in this context. We prove two general tools for reconstruction and integration, as well as a product lemma which is tailor made for the reconstruction of the rough diffusion operator. This yields a partially automated deterministic theory, which we apply to obtain an existence and uni…
For a Dirac-type operator D with a spectral boundary condition, the associated heat operator trace has an expansion in powers and log-powers of t. Some of the log-coefficients vanish in the Atiyah-Patodi-Singer product case. We here investigate the effect of perturbations of D, by use of a pseudodifferential parameter-dependent calculus for boundary problems. It is shown that the first k log-terms are stable under perturbations of D vanishing to order k at the boundary (and the nonlocal power coefficients behind them are only locally perturbed). For perturbations of D from the APS product case…
