英文摘要：

We establish Luzin $N$ and Morse-Sard properties for $BV_2$-functions defined on open domains in the plane. Using these results we prove that almost all level sets are finite disjoint unions of Lipschitz arcs whose tangent vectors are of bounded variation. In the case of $W^{2,1}$-functions we strengthen the conclusion and show that almost all level sets are finite disjoint unions of $C^1$-arcs whose tangent vectors are absolutely continuous.

On the Morse-Sard property and level sets of $W^{n,1}$ Sobolev functions on ${\mathbb R}^n$

We establish Luzin N and Morse--Sard properties for functions from the Sobolev space $W^{n,1}({\mathbb R}^{n})$. Using these results we prove that almost all level sets are finite disjoint unions of $C^1$--smooth compact manifolds of dimension $n-1$. These results remain valid also within the larger space of functions of bounded variation $BV_{n}({\mathbb R}^{n})$. For the proofs we establish and use some new results on Luzin--type approximation of Sobolev and BV--functions by $C^k$--functions, where the exceptional sets have small Hausdorff content.

The Morse-Sard theorem revisited

Let $n, m, k$ be positive integers with $k=n-m+1$. We establish an abstract Morse-Sard-type theorem which allows us to deduce, on the one hand, a previous result of De Pascale's for Sobolev $W^{k,p}_{\textrm{loc}}(\mathbb{R}^n, \mathbb{R}^m)$ functions with $p>n$ and, on the other hand, also the following new result: if $f\in C^{k-1}(\mathbb{R}^n, \mathbb{R}^m)$ satisfies $$\limsup_{h\to 0}\frac{|D^{k-1}f(x+h)-D^{k-1}f(x)|}{|h|}<\infty$$ for every $x\in\mathbb{R}^n$ (that is, $D^{k-1}f$ is a Stepanov function), then the set of critical values of $f$ is Lebesgue-null in $\mathbb{R}^m$. In the c…

Morse--Sard theorem and Luzin $N$-property: a new synthesis result for Sobolev spaces

For a regular (in a sense) mapping $v:\mathbb{R}^n \to \mathbb{R}^d$ we study the following problem: {\sl let $S$ be a subset of $m$-critical a set $\tilde Z_{v,m}=\{{\rm rank} \nabla v\le m\}$ and the equality $\mathcal{H}^τ(S)=0$ (or the inequality $\mathcal{H}^τ(S)<\infty$) holds for some $τ>0$. Does it imply that $\mathcal{H}^σ(v(S))=0$ for some $σ=σ(τ,m)$?} (Here $\mathcal{H}^τ$ means the $τ$-dimensional Hausdorff measure.) For the classical classes $C^k$-smooth and $C^{k+α}$-Holder mappings this problem was solved in the papers by Bates and Moreira. We solve the problem for Sobolev $W^k_…

On some universal Morse-Sard type Theorem

The classical Morse--Sard theorem claims that for a mapping $v:\mathbb R^n\to\mathbb R^{m+1}$ of class $C^k$ the measure of critical values $v(Z_{v,m})$ is zero under condition $k\ge n-m$. Here the critical set, or $m$-critical set is defined as $Z_{v,m} = \{ x \in \mathbb R^n : \, {\rm rank}\,\nabla v(x)\le m \}$. Further Dubovitski\uı in 1957 and independently Federer and Dubovitski\uı in 1967 found some elegant extensions of this theorem to the case of other (e.g., lower) smoothness assumptions. They also established the sharpness of their results within the $C^k$ category. Here we formulat…

Sign changing solution of the hardy-sobolev-maz'ya equation

In this article we will study the existence, multiplicity and Morse index of sign changing solutions for the Hardy-Sobolev-Maz'ya(HSM) equation in bounded domain and involving critical growth. We obtain infinitely many sign changing solutions for HSM equation. We also establish an estimate on the Morse index for the sign changing solutions.

Monotone Sobolev functions in planar domains: level sets and smooth approximation

We prove that almost every level set of a Sobolev function in a planar domain consists of points, Jordan curves, or homeomorphic copies of an interval. For monotone Sobolev functions in the plane we have the stronger conclusion that almost every level set is an embedded $1$-dimensional topological submanifold of the plane. Here monotonicity is in the sense of Lebesgue: the maximum and minimum of the function in an open set are attained at the boundary. Our result is an analog of Sard's theorem, which asserts that for a $C^2$-smooth function in a planar domain almost every value is a regular va…

On Luzin N-property and uncertainty principle for the Sobolev mappings

We study Luzin N-property with respect to the Hausdorff measures for Sobolev spaces W^k_p(R^n,R^d). We prove that such N-property holds except for one critical dimensional value t_*=n-(k-1)p; for this critical value the N-property fails in general, and we constructed the corresponding nontrivial counterexample (based on the theory of lacunary Fourier series). Nevertheless, this N-property holds if we assume in addition that the highest k-derivatives belongs to the Lorentz space L_{p,1} instead of L_p. We extend these results to the case of fractional Sobolev spaces as well. Also, we establish …

On the ellipticity of operators associated with Morse-Smale diffeomorphisms

We consider the operator algebra generated by pseudodifferential operators on a closed smooth surface and shift operator induced by a Morse--Smale diffeomorphism of this surface. Elements in this algebra are considered as operators in the scale of Sobolev spaces and the aim of this paper is to describe how Fredholm property of a given operator depends on the Sobolev smoothness exponent $s$.

Generic Morse-Smale property for the parabolic equation on the circle

In this paper, we show that, for scalar reaction-diffusion equations $u_t=u_{xx}+f(x,u,u_x)$ on the circle $S^1$, the Morse-Smale property is generic with respect to the non-linearity $f$. In \cite{CR}, Czaja and Rocha have proved that any connecting orbit, which connects two hyperbolic periodic orbits, is transverse and that there does not exist any homoclinic orbit, connecting a hyperbolic periodic orbit to itself. In \cite{JR}, we have shown that, generically with respect to the non-linearity $f$, all the equilibria and periodic orbits are hyperbolic. Here we complete these results by showi…

Lojasiewicz-Simon gradient inequalities for analytic and Morse-Bott functions on Banach spaces

We prove several abstract versions of the Lojasiewicz-Simon gradient inequality for an analytic functional on a Banach space that generalize previous abstract versions of this inequality, weakening their hypotheses and, in particular, the well-known infinite-dimensional version of the gradient inequality due to Lojasiewicz proved by Simon (1983). We also prove that the optimal exponent of the Lojasiewicz-Simon gradient inequality is obtained when the functional is Morse-Bott, improving on similar results due to Chill (2003, 2006), Haraux and Jendoubi (2007), and Simon (1996). In our article ar…
