We study the weighted heat trace asymptotics of an operator of Laplace type with Dirichlet boundary conditions where the weight function exhibits radial blowup. We give formulas for the first few terms in the expansion in terms of geometrical data.
We study new invariants of elliptic partial differential operators acting on sections of a vector bundle over a closed Riemannian manifold that we call the relativistic heat trace and the quantum heat traces. We obtain some reduction formulas expressing these new invariants in terms of some integral transforms of the usual classical heat trace and compute the asymptotics of these invariants. The coefficients of these asymptotic expansion are determined by the usual heat trace coefficients (which are locally computable) as well as by some new global invariants.
We study the heat content function, the heat trace function, and questions of isospectrality for the Laplacian with Dirichlet boundary conditions on a compact manifold with smooth boundary in the context of finite coverings and warped products.
We show in the smooth category that the heat trace asymptotics and the heat content asymptotics can be made to grow arbitrarily rapidly. In the real analytic context, however, this is not true and we establish universal bounds on their growth.
We study leading order singularities of the wave trace of the Aharonov--Bohm Hamiltonian on $\mathbf{R}^2$ with multiple solenoids under a generic assumption that no three solenoids are collinear. Then we apply our formula to get a lower bound of scattering resonances in a logarithmic neighborhood near the real axis.
This paper addresses the mathematical models for the heat-conduction equations and the Navier-Stokes equations via fractional derivatives without singular kernel.
We examine the local super trace asymptotics for the de Rham complex defined by an arbitrary super connection on the exterior algebra. We show, in contrast to the situation in which the connection in question is the Levi-Civita connection, that these invariants are generically non-zero in positive degree and that the critical term is not the Pfaffian.
Let (M,g) be a compact Riemannian manifold without boundary. Let D be a compact subdomain of M with smooth boundary. We examine the heat content asymptotics for the heat flow from D into M where both the initial temperature and the specific heat are permitted to have controlled singularities on the boundary of D. The operator driving the heat process is assumed to be an operator of Laplace type
This paper is devoted to study the asymptotic expansion of the heat trace of the Dirichlet-to-Neumann map for the thermoelastic equation on a Riemannian manifold with doundary. By providing a method we can obtain all the coefficients of the asymptotic expansion. In particular, we explicitly give the first two coefficients involving the volume and the total mean curvature of the boundary.
We study the asymptotic behavior of the heat content on a compact Riemannian manifold with boundary and with singular specific heat and singular initial temperature distributions imposing Robin boundary conditions. Assuming the existence of a complete asymptotic series we determine the first three terms in that series. In addition to the general setting, the interval is studied in detail as are recursion relations among the coefficients and the relationship between the Dirichlet and Robin settings.
We study the weighted heat trace asymptotics of an operator of Laplace type with mixed boundary conditions where the weight function exhibits radial blowup. We give formulas for the first three boundary terms in the expansion in terms of geometrical data.
For manifolds with boundary, we define an extension of Wodzicki's noncommutative residue to boundary value problems in Boutet de Monvel's calculus. We show that this residue can be recovered with the help of heat kernel expansions and explore its relation to Dixmier's trace.
We study the initial trace problem for positive solutions of semilinear heat equations with strong absorption. We show that in general this initial trace is an outer regular Borel measure. We emphasize in particular the case where $u$ satisfies (E) $\partial_t u-Δu+t^α|u|^{q-1}u=0$, with $q>1$ and $α>-1$ and prove that in the subcritical case $1
We consider a quantum graph where the operator contains a potential. We show that this operator admits a heat kernel. Under some assumptions on the potential, this heat kernel admits an asymptotic expansion at t=0 with coefficients that depend on the potential in a universal way. These coefficients are spectral invariants, we compute the first few of them.
We show that, in odd dimensions, any real valued, bounded potential of compact support has at least one scattering resonance. For dimensions three and higher this was previously known only for sufficiently smooth potentials. The proof is based on an inverse result, which states that the trace of the associated heat kernel has an appropriate asymptotic expansion if and only if the potential is smooth.
The aim of this article is to study the noncontrollability of the heat equation with double singular potential at an interior point and on the boundary of the domain.
We study the asymptotic behaviour of the heat content on a compact Riemannian manifold with boundary and with singular specific heat and singular initial temperature distributions. Assuming the existence of a complete asymptotic series we determine the first three terms in that series. In addition to the general setting, the interval is studied in detail.
We consider the case of scattering of several obstacles in $\mathbb{R}^d$ for $d \geq 2$ for the Laplace operator $Δ$ with Dirichlet boundary conditions imposed on the obstacles. In the case of two obstacles, we have the Laplace operators $Δ_1$ and $Δ_2$ obtained by imposing Dirichlet boundary conditions only on one of the objects. The relative trace operator $g(Δ) - g(Δ_1) - g(Δ_2) + g(Δ_0)$ was introduced in [18] and shown to be trace-class for a large class of functions $g$, including certrain functions of polynomial growth. When $g$ is sufficiently regular at zero and fast decaying at infi…
In this note we consider a heat trace expansion on a manifold with wedge-like singularity. We show that there are two terms in the expansion that contain information about the presence of the singularity, namely the logarithmic term $ct^{-1/2}\log t$ and the half power term $bt^{-1/2}$. We also give a geometric expression for $c$.
For the Schrödinger operator $-Δ_\rm{g}+V$ on a complete Riemannian manifold with real valued potential $V$ of compact support, we establish a sharp equivalence between Sobolev regularity of $V$ and the existence of finite-order asymptotic expansions as $t\rightarrow 0$ of the relative trace of the Schrödinger heat kernel. As an application, we generalize a result of Sà Barreto and Zworski, concerning the existence of resonances on compact metric perturbations of Euclidean space, to the case of bounded measurable potentials.
In this paper we study the small time asymptotics for the heat kernel on a sub-Riemannian manifold, using a perturbative approach. We then explicitly compute, in the case of a 3D contact structure, the first two coefficients of the small time asymptotics expansion of the heat kernel on the diagonal, expressing them in terms of the two basic functional invariants $χ$ and $κ$ defined on a 3D contact structure.
We show the existence and the uniqueness of initial traces of nonnegative solutions to a semilinear heat equation on a half space of ${\mathbb R}^N$ under the zero Dirichlet boundary condition. Furthermore, we obtain necessary conditions and sufficient conditions on the initial data for the solvability of the corresponding Cauchy--Dirichlet problem. Our necessary conditions and sufficient conditions are sharp and enable us to find optimal singularities of initial data for the solvability of the Cauchy--Dirichlet problem.
We derive a detailed asymptotic expansion of the heat trace for the Laplace-Beltrami operator on functions on manifolds with conic singularities, using the Singular Asymptotics Lemma of Jochen Bruening and Robert T. Seeley [BS]. In the subsequent paper we investigate how the terms in the expansion reflect the geometry of the manifold.
In this paper we focus on the null controllability problem for the heat equation with the so-called inverse square potential and a memory term. To this aim, we first establish the null controllability for a nonhomogeneous singular heat equation by a new Carleman inequality with weights which do not blow up at t=0. Then the null controllability property is proved for the singular heat equation with memory under a condition on the kernel, by means of Kakutani's fixed-point Theorem.
We study the asymptotic behavior of the heat trace coefficients $a_n$ as n tends to infinity for the scalar Laplacian in the context of locally symmetric spaces. We show that if the Plancherel measure of a noncompact type symmetric space is polynomial, then these coefficients decay like 1/n!. On the other hand, for even dimensional locally rank 1-symmetric spaces, one has $|a_n|$ grows like C^n* n! for some C>0; we conjecture this is the case in general if the associated Plancherel measure is not polynomial. These examples show that growth estimates conjectured by Berry and Howls are sharp. We…
In this paper we consider the heat equation with a strongly singular potential and show that it has a very weak solution. Our analysis is devoted to general hypoelliptic operators and is developed in the setting of graded Lie groups. The current work continues and extends a previous work , where the classical heat equation on $\mathbb R^n$ was considered.
I prove the existence of small time heat expansion for the Laplace operator on an analytic hypersurface with an isolated singularity. First we obtain a local parametrization of the hypersurface near the singularity. We introduce the notion of quasihomogeneous tangent cone. Then perturb the parametrization of the cone employing a Newton scheme and obtain a parametrization with functions of specific form. These allow us to obtain local models for the Laplace operator near the singularity. These are operators with irregular singularities. We derive the estimates required by singular asymptotics.
We study the existence of global-in-time solutions for a nonlinear heat equation with nonlocal diffusion, power nonlinearity and suitably small data (either compared pointwisely to the singular solution or in the norm of a critical Morrey space). Then, asymptotics of subcritical solutions is determined. These results are compared with conditions on the initial data leading to a finite time blowup.
We consider the heat equation with a superlinear absorption term $\partial_{t} u-Δu= -u^{p}$ in $\mathbb{R}^n$ and study the existence and nonexistence of nonnegative solutions with an $m$-dimensional time-dependent singular set, where $n-m\geq 3$. First, we prove that if $p\geq (n-m)/(n-m-2)$, then there is no singular solution. We next prove that, if $1<p<(n-m)/(n-m-2)$, then there are two types of singular solution. Moreover, we show the uniqueness of the solutions and specify the exact behavior of the solutions near the singular set.
Motivated by the theory of bi-singular pseudodifferential operators, we introduce a two dimensional version of the Adler-Manin trace. Our construction is rather general in the sense that it involves a twist afforded by an algebra automorphism. That is, starting from an algebra equipped with an automorphism, two twisted derivations, and a twisted invariant trace, we construct an algebra of formal twisted pseudodifferential symbols and define a noncommutative residue. Also, we provide related examples.
In this paper, we extend the results of [1] by proving exponential asymptotic $H^1$-convergence of solutions to a one-dimensional singular heat equation with $L^2$-source term that describe evolution of viscous thin liquid sheets while considered in the Lagrange coordinates. Furthermore, we extend this asymptotic convergence result to the case of a time inhomogeneous source. This study has also independent interest for the porous medium equation theory.
In this paper, we study the heat equation with an irregular spatially dependent thermal conductivity coefficient. We prove that it has a solution in an appropriate very weak sense. Moreover, the uniqueness result and consistency with the classical solution if the latter exists are shown. Indeed, we allow the coefficient to be a distribution with a toy example of a Delta-function.
We consider solutions of the linear heat equation in $\mathbb{R}^N$ with isolated singularities. It is assumed that the position of a singular point depends on time and is Hölder continuous with the exponent $α\in (0,1)$. We show that any isolated singularity is removable if it is weaker than a certain order depending on $α$. We also show the optimality of the removability condition by showing the existence of a solution with a nonremovable singularity. These results are applied to the case where the singular point behaves like a fractional Brownian motion with the Hurst exponent $H \in (0,1/2…
Let $-λ_j$ be the eigenvalues of the Laplace operator on the unit disk with Dirichlet conditions. The distribution $h(t) = \sum_j e^{i\sqrtλ_j t}$ is the trace of the solution operator of the wave equation on the disk. It is well known that $h$ has isolated singularities at the lengths of the reflecting geodesics. In particular, $h$ is singular at $t_k$, the perimeter of the regular inscribed polygon with $k$ sides. Evidently, $t_k < 2π$, the perimeter of the circle, and $t_k$ tends to $2π$. In this paper, we show that $h(t)$ is infinitely differentiable as $t$ tends to $2π$ from the right.
In this paper, we consider the heat equation with strongly singular potentials and prove that it has a "very weak solution". Moreover, we show the uniqueness and consistency results in some appropriate sense. The cases of positive and negative potentials are studied. Numerical simulations are done: one suggests so-called "laser heating and cooling" effects depending on a sign of the potential. The latter is justified by physical observations.
We analyze controllability properties for the one-dimensional heat equation with singular inverse-square potential $$ u_t-u_{xx}-\fracμ{x^2}u=0,\;\;\; (x,t)\in(0,1)\times(0,T).$$ For any $μ<1/4$, we prove that the equation is null controllable through a boundary control $f\in H^1(0,T)$ acting at the singularity point $x=0$. This result is obtained employing the moment method by Fattorini and Russell.
We derive the dynamic boundary condition for the heat equation as a limit of boundary layer problems. We study convergence of their weak and strong solutions as the width of the layer tends to zero. We also discuss $Γ$-convergence of the functionals generating these flows. Our analysis of strong solutions depends on a new version of the Reilly identity.
We obtain left and right continuous embeddings for the domains of the complex powers of sectorial $\mathbb{B}$-elliptic cone differential operators. We apply this result to the heat equation on manifolds with conical singularities and provide asymptotic expansions of the unique solution close to the conical points. We further show that the decomposition of the solution in terms of asymptotics spaces, i.e. finite dimensional spaces that describe the domains of the integer powers of the Laplacian and determined by the local geometry around the singularity, is preserved under the evolution.
We study the existence and regularity of solutions to the Cauchy problem for the inhomogeneous heat equation on compact Riemannian manifolds with conical singularities. We introduce weighted Hölder and Sobolev spaces with discrete asymptotics and we prove existence and maximal regularity of solutions to the Cauchy problem for the inhomogeneous heat equation, when the free term lies in a weighted parabolic Hölder or Sobolev space with discrete asymptotics. This generalizes a result previously obtained by Coriasco, Schrohe, and Seiler (Thm. 7.2 in Math. Z. 244 (2003), 235--269) by different mean…
Nonlinear heat equations in two dimensions with singular initial data are studied. In recent works nonlinearities with exponential growth of Trudinger-Moser type have been shown to manifest critical behavior: well-posedness in the subcritical case and non-existence for certain supercritical data. In this article we propose a specific model nonlinearity with Trudinger-Moser growth for which we obtain surprisingly complete results: a) for initial data strictly below a certain singular threshold function $\widetilde u$ the problem is well-posed, b) for initial data above this threshold function $…
This paper concerns with the heat equation in the half-space $\mathbb{R}_{+}^{n}$ with nonlinearity and singular potential on the boundary $\partial\mathbb{R}_{+}^{n}$. We develop a well-posedness theory (without using Kato and Hardy inequalities) that allows us to consider critical potentials with infinite many singularities and anisotropy. Motivated by potential profiles of interest, the analysis is performed in weak $L^{p}$-spaces in which we prove key linear estimates for some boundary operators arising from the Duhamel integral formulation in $\mathbb{R}_{+}^{n}$. Moreover, we investigate…
This article is devoted to the analysis of control properties for a heat equation with singular potential $μ/δ^2$, defined on a bounded $C^2$ domain $Ω\subset\mathbb{R}^N$, where $δ$ is the distance to the boundary function. More precisely, we show that for any $μ\leq 1/4$ the system is exactly null controllable using a distributed control located in any open subset of $Ω$, while for $μ>1/4$ there is no way of preventing the solutions of the equation from blowing-up. The result is obtained applying a new Carleman estimate.
