我们研究各向异性椭圆方程$-Δ_p^H u = g(u)$。近期，Esposito、Riey、Sciunzi和Vuono在文献\cite{ERSV2022}中，于$(H_M)$条件下引入了一种各向异性Kelvin变换，其中$H(ξ)=\sqrt{\langle Mξ,ξ\rangle}$，$M$为正定对称矩阵。本文指出，在$(H_M)$假设下，Finsler $p$-Laplacian算子与经典$p$-Laplacian算子经线性变换后是等价的。这一等价性为推导文献\cite{ERSV2022}中的核心结论提供了更直接的途径。尽管这一等价性十分关键且值得关注，但据我们所知，现有文献尚未明确提及这一点。
英文摘要：
We investigate the anisotropic elliptic equation $-Δ_p^H u = g(u)$. Recently, Esposito, Riey, Sciunzi, and Vuono introduced an anisotropic Kelvin transform in their work \cite{ERSV2022} under the $(H_M)$ condition, where $H(ξ)=\sqrt{\langle Mξ,ξ\rangle}$ with a positive definite symmetric matrix $M$. Here, we emphasize that under the $(H_M)$ assumption, the Finsler $p$-Laplacian and the classical $p$-Laplacian operator are equivalent following a linear transformation. This equivalence offers us a more direct route to derive the pivotal findings presented in \cite{ERSV2022}. While this equivalence is crucial and noteworthy, to our knowledge, it has not been explicitly stated in the current literature.
We prove two bounds for the first Robin eigenvalue of the Finsler Laplacian with negative boundary parameter in the planar case. In the constant area problem, we show that the Wulff shape is the maximizer only for values which are close to 0 of the boundary parameter and, in the fixed perimeter case, that the Wulff shape maximizes the first eigenvalue for all values of the parameter.
Let Ωbe a bounded connected, open set of \R^n with Lipschitz boundary. Let F be a suitable norm in \R^n and let Δ_F u be the so-colled Finsler Laplacian. In this paper we prove two inequalities for the first eigenvalue of Δ_F with Robin boundary conditions involving a positive function β. As a consequence of our result we obtain the asymptotic behavior of this eigenvalue when βis a positive constant which goes to zero.
By using Bochner technique and gradient estimate, we give the lower bound estimates of the first eigenvalue of Finsler-Laplacian on Finsler manifolds. These results generalize the corresponding famous theorems in the Riemannian geometry.
We consider a partially overdetermined problem for anisotropic $N$-Laplace equations in a convex cone $Σ$ intersected with the exterior of a bounded domain $Ω$ in $\mathbb{R}^N$, $N\geq 2$. Under a prescribed logarithmic condition at infinity, we prove a rigidity result by showing that the existence of a solution implies that $Σ\capΩ$ must be the intersection of the Wulff shape and $Σ$. Our approach is based on a Pohozaev-type identity and the characterization of minimizers of the anisotropic isoperimetric inequality inside convex cones.
We prove a rigidity result for the anisotropic Laplacian. More precisely, the domain of the problem is bounded by an unknown surface supporting a Dirichlet condition together with a Neumann-type condition which is not translation-invariant. Using a comparison argument, we show that the domain is in fact a Wulff shape. We also consider the more general case when the unknown surface is required to have its boundary on a given conical surface: in such a case, the domain of the problem is bounded by the unknown surface and by a portion of the given conical surface, which supports a homogeneous Neu…
In this paper we prove existence results and asymptotic behavior for strong solutions $u\in W^{2,2}_{\textrm{loc}}(Ω)$ of the nonlinear elliptic problem \begin{equation} \tag{P} \label{abstr} \left\{ \begin{array}{ll} -Δ_{H}u+H(\nabla u)^{q}+λu=f&\text{in }Ω,\\ u\rightarrow +\infty &\text{on }\partialΩ, \end{array} \right. \end{equation} where $H$ is a suitable norm of $\mathbb R^{n}$, $Ω$ is a bounded domain, $Δ_{H}$ is the Finsler Laplacian, $1<q\le 2$, $λ>0$ and $f$ is a suitable function in $L^{\infty}_{\textrm{loc}}$. Furthermore, we are interested in the behavior of the solutions when $λ…
We prove existence of harmonic coordinates for the nonlinear Laplacian of a Finsler manifold and apply them in a proof of the Myers--Steenrod theorem for Finsler manifolds. Different from the Riemannian case, these coordinates are not suitable for studying optimal regularity of the fundamental tensor, nevertheless, we obtain some partial results in this direction when the Finsler metric is Berwald.
We study the dependence of the first eigenvalue of the Finsler $p$-Laplacian and the corresponding eigenfunctions upon perturbation of the domain and we generalize a few results known for the standard $p$-Laplacian. In particular, we prove a Frechét differentiability result for the eigenvalues, we compute the corresponding Hadamard formulas and we prove a continuity result for the eigenfunctions. Finally, we briefly discuss a well-known overdetermined problem and we show how to deduce the Rellich-Pohozaev identity for the Finsler $p$-Laplacian from the Hadamard formula.
We study regularity of the Finsler $γ$-Laplacian, a general class of degenerate elliptic PDEs which naturally appear in anisotropic geometric problems. Precisely, given any strictly convex family of $C^{1}$-norms $\{ ρ_{x}\}$ on $\mathbb{R}^{n}$ and $γ> 1$, we consider the $W^{1,γ}(Ω)$ solutions of the anisotropic PDE $$ \displaystyle \int_Ω \left \langle ρ_{x}(Du)^{γ-1} (D ρ_{x})(Du), D φ\right \rangle = \int_Ω \vec{F} \cdot D φ+ f φ\qquad \forall φ\in W^{1,γ^{\prime}}_{0}(Ω). $$ Under the mild assumption $|ξ|^{-1} ρ_{x}( ξ) \in [ν, Λ]$ for all $(x,ξ) \in Ω\times \mathbb{R}^{n}$ and some $0 <…
In this paper we are concerned with the least energy solutions to the Lane-Emden problem driven by an anisotropic operator, so-called the Finsler $N$-Laplacian, on a bounded domain in $\mathbb{R}^N$. We prove several asymptotic formulae as the nonlinear exponent gets large.
In this paper, we propose a variational approach based on optimal transportation to study the existence and unicity of solution for a class of parabolic equations involving $q(x)$-Laplacian operator \begin{equation*}\label{equation variable q(x)} \frac{\partial ρ(t,x)}{\partial t}=div_x\left(ρ(t,x)|\nabla_x G^{'}(ρ(t,x))|^{q(x)-2}\nabla_x G^{'}(ρ(t,x)) \right) .\end{equation*} The variational approach requires the setting of new tools such as appropiate distance on the probability space and an introduction of a Finsler metric in this space. The class of parabolic equations is derived as the fl…
We prove the Bochner-Weitzenboeck formula for the (nonlinear) Laplacian on general Finsler manifolds and derive Li-Yau type gradient estimates as well as parabolic Harnack inequalities. Moreover, we deduce Bakry-Emery gradient estimates. All these estimates depend on lower bounds for the weighted flag Ricci tensor.
Suppose $F: \mathbb{R}^{N} \rightarrow [0, +\infty)$ be a convex function of class $C^{2}(\mathbb{R}^{N} \backslash \{0\})$ which is even and positively homogeneous of degree 1. We denote $γ_1=\inf\limits_{u\in W^{1, N}_{0}(Ω)\backslash \{0\}}\frac{\int_ΩF^{N}(\nabla u)dx}{\| u\|_p^N},$ and define the norm $\|u\|_{N,F,γ, p}=\bigg(\int_ΩF^{N}(\nabla u)dx-γ\| u\|_p^N\bigg)^{\frac{1}{N}}.$ Let $Ω\subset \mathbb{R}^{N}(N\geq 2)$ be a smooth bounded domain. Then for $p> 1$ and $0\leq γ<γ_1$, we have $$ \sup_{u\in W^{1, N}_{0}(Ω), \|u\|_{N,F,γ, p}\leq 1}\int_Ωe^{λ|u|^{\frac{N}{N-1}}}dx<+\infty, $$ w…
In this paper, we study some potential theoretic aspects of the eikonal and infinity Laplace operator on a Finsler manifold $M$. Our main result shows that the forward completeness of $M$ can be detected in terms of Liouville properties and maximum principles at infinity for subsolutions of suitable inequalities, including $Δ^N_\infty u \ge g(u)$. Also, an $\infty$-capacity criterion and a viscosity version of Ekeland principle are proved to be equivalent to the forward completeness of $M$. Part of the proof hinges on a new boundary-to-interior Lipschitz estimate for solutions of $Δ^N_\infty u…
In this paper, we prove a sharp lower bound of the first (nonzero) eigenvalue of Finsler-Laplacian with the Neumann boundary condition. Equivalently, we prove an optimal anisotropic Poincaré inequality for convex domains, which generalizes the result of Payne-Weinberger. A lower bound of the first (nonzero) eigenvalue of Finsler-Laplacian with the Dirichlet boundary condition is also proved.
We prove the Bochner-Weitzenböck formula for the (nonlinear) Laplacian on general Finsler manifolds and derive Li-Yau type gradient estimates as well as parabolic Harnack inequalities. Moreover, we deduce Bakry-Émery gradient estimates. All these estimates depend on lower bounds for the weighted flag Ricci tensor.
In this paper, we give some properties and remarks of the new fractional Sobolev spaces with variable exponents. We also study the eigenvalue problem involving the new fractional $p(\cdot)$-Laplacian.
We study some properties of Laplacian eigenvalues with negative Robin boundary conditions. We will show some monotonicity properties on annuli of the first eigenvalue by means of shape optimization techniques.
This paper is concerned with the Minkowski convolution of viscosity solutions of fully nonlinear parabolic equations. We adopt this convolution to compare viscosity solutions of initial-boundary value problems in different domains. As a consequence, we can for instance obtain parabolic power concavity of solutions to a general class of parabolic equations. Our results apply to the Pucci operator, the normalized $q$-Laplacians with $1<q\leq\infty$, the Finsler Laplacian and more general quasilinear operators.
We prove nonlinear lower bounds and commutator estimates for the Dirichlet fractional Laplacian in bounded domains. The applications include bounds for linear drift-diffusion equations with nonlocal dissipation and global existence of weak solutions of critical surface quasi-geostrophic equations.
We show how nonlocal boundary conditions of Robin type can be encoded in the pointwise expression of the fractional operator. Notably, the fractional Laplacian of functions satisfying homogeneous nonlocal Neumann conditions can be expressed as a regional operator with a kernel having logarithmic behaviour at the boundary.
We study a singular or degenerate equation in non-divergence form modeled by the $p$-Laplacian, $$-|Du|^γ\left(Δu+(p-2)Δ_\infty^N u\right)=f\ \ \ \ \text{in}\ \ \ Ω.$$ We investigate local $C^{1,α}$ regularity of viscosity solutions in the full range $γ>-1$ and $p>1$, and provide local $W^{2,2}$ estimates in the restricted cases where $p$ is close to 2 and $γ$ is close to 0.
Locally bounded, local weak solutions to a special class of quasilinear, anisotropic, $p$-Laplacian type elliptic equations, are shown to be locally Hölder continuous. Homogeneous local upper bounds are established for local weak solutions to a general class of quasilinear anisotropic equations.
We investigate the $p-$Laplace heat equation $u_t-Δ_p u=ζ(t)f(u)$ on a bounded smooth domain $Ω\subset\mathbb{R}^N$. Using differential inequalities arguments, we prove blow-up results under suitable conditions on $ζ, f$, and the initial data $u_0$. We also give an upper bound for the blow-up time in each case.
In this note we give three counter-examples which show that the Maximum Principle generally fails for classical solutions of a system and a single equation related to the $\infty$-Laplacian. The first is the tangential part of the $\infty$-Laplace system and the second is the scalar $\infty$-Laplace equation perturbed by a linear gradient term. The interpretations of the Maximum Principle for the system are that of the Convex Hull Property and also of the Maximum Principle of the modulus of the solution.
We compute critical groups of variational functionals arising from quasilinear elliptic boundary value problems with jumping nonlinearities, when the asymptotic limits of the equation lie in various regions of the plane that are separated by certain curves of the Fucik spectrum. As an application some existence and multiplicity results are established via Morse theoretic and perturbation arguments.
We consider the problem of minimising the $k$th eigenvalue, $k \geq 2$, of the ($p$-)Laplacian with Robin boundary conditions with respect to all domains in $\mathbb{R}^N$ of given volume $M$. When $k=2$, we prove that the second eigenvalue of the $p$-Laplacian is minimised by the domain consisting of the disjoint union of two balls of equal volume, and that this is the unique domain with this property. For $p=2$ and $k \geq 3$, we prove that in many cases a minimiser cannot be independent of the value of the constant $α$ in the boundary condition, or equivalently of the volume $M$. We obtain …
We study the homogeneous Boltzmann equation with the fractional Laplacian term. Working on the Fourier side we solve the resulting integral equation, and improve a previous result by Y.-K. Cho. We replace the initial data space with a certain space $\mathcal{M}^α$ introduced by Morimoto, Wang, and Yang. This space precisely captures the Fourier image of probability measures with bounded fractional moments, providing a more natural initial condition. We show existence of a unique global solution, in addition to the expected maximal growth estimates and stability estimates. As a consequence we o…
Whether or not the classical solutions of the two-dimensional (2D) incompressible magnetohydrodynamics (MHD) equations with only Laplacian magnetic diffusion (without velocity dissipation) are globally well-posed is a difficult problem and remains completely open. In this paper, we establish the global regularity of solutions to the 2D incompressible MHD equations with almost Laplacian magnetic diffusion in the whole space. This result can be regarded as a further improvement and generalization of the previous works. Consequently, our result is more closer to the resolution of the global regul…
We study the two-dimensional generalized magnetohydrodynamics system with generalized dissipation and diffusion in terms of fractional Laplacians. It is known that the classical magnetohydrodynamics system with full Laplacians in both dissipation and diffusion terms admits a unique global strong solution pair. Making use of the special structure of the system in the two-dimensional case, we show in particular that the solution pair remains smooth when we have zero dissipation but only magnetic diffusion with its power of the fractional Laplacian $β> \frac{3}{2}$.
In this note we give some remarks and improvements on a recent paper of us [3] about an optimization problem for the $p-$Laplace operator that were motivated by some discussion the authors had with Prof. Cianchi.
We discuss the Krein--von Neumann extensions of three Laplacian-type operators -- on discrete graphs, quantum graphs, and domains. In passing we present a class of one-dimensional elliptic operators such that for any $n\in \mathbb N$ infinitely many elements of the class have $n$-dimensional null space.
The aim of this paper is twofold: First, we characterize an essentially optimal class of boundary operators $Θ$ which give rise to self-adjoint Laplacians $-Δ_{Θ, Ω}$ in $L^2(Ω; d^n x)$ with (nonlocal and local) Robin-type boundary conditions on bounded Lipschitz domains $Ω\subset\bbR^n$, $n\in\bbN$, $n\geq 2$. Second, we extend Friedlander's inequalities between Neumann and Dirichlet Laplacian eigenvalues to those between nonlocal Robin and Dirichlet Laplacian eigenvalues associated with bounded Lipschitz domains $Ω$, following an approach introduced by Filonov for this type of problems.
We consider an overdetermined problem for the Finsler Laplacian in the exterior of a convex domain in $\mathbb{R}^N$, establishing a symmetry result for the anisotropic capacitary potential. Our result extends the one of W. Reichel [Arch. Rational Mech. Anal. 137 (1997)], where the usual Newtonian capacity is considered, giving rise to an overdetermined problem for the standard Laplace equation. Here, we replace the usual Euclidean norm of the gradient with an arbitrary norm $H$. The resulting symmetry of the solution is that of the so-called Wulff shape (a ball in the dual norm $H_0$).
$Δψ:=\frac{\partial^2 ψ}{\partial x_1^2}+\frac{\partial^2 ψ}{\partial x_2^2}$ being locally bounded does not imply that $D^2ψ$ is locally bounded. However, we prove that if $ψ$ is invariant under rotation by $\frac{2π}{m}$, for some $m\geq 3$, and $Δψ$ is locally bounded, then $$\sup_{x\in B_1(0)}\frac{|\nabla ψ(x)|}{|x|}<\infty.$$ This is sharp in that there are examples of functions $ψ$ for which $Δψ$ is locally bounded, which are invariant under rotation by $π$ with $|ψ(x)-ψ(0)|\approx |x|^2 |\log|x||$ as $|x|\rightarrow 0$. This bound and its generalizations could be of use in different co…
Lions (1959, Bull. Soc. Math. France, \textbf{87}, 245--273) introduced the Navier-Stokes equations with a viscous diffusion in the form of a fractional Laplacian; subsequently, he (1969, Dunod, Gauthiers-Villars, Paris) claimed the uniqueness of its solution when its exponent is not less than five quarters in case the spatial dimension is three. Following the work of Hofmanov$\acute{\mathrm{a}}$, Zhu and Zhu (2019, arXiv:1912.11841 [math.PR]), we prove the non-uniqueness in law for the three-dimensional stochastic Navier-Stokes equations with the viscous diffusion in the form of a fractional …
We study the quasilinear elliptic equation \begin{equation*} -Qu=e^u \ \ \text{in} \ \ Ω\subset \mathbb{R}^{N} \end{equation*} where the operator $Q$, known as Finsler-Laplacian (or anisotropic Laplacian), is defined by $$Qu:=\sum_{i=1}^{N}\frac{\partial}{\partial x_{i}}(F(\nabla u)F_{ξ_{i}}(\nabla u)),$$ where $F_{ξ_{i}}=\frac{\partial F}{\partialξ_{i}}$ and $F: \mathbb{R}^{N}\rightarrow[0,+\infty)$ is a convex function of $ C^{2}(\mathbb{R}^{N}\setminus\{0\})$, that satisfies certain assumptions. For bounded domain $Ω$ and for a stable weak solution of the above equation, we prove that the H…
In this note we investigate the asymptotic behaviour of the $s$-numbers of the resolvent difference of two generalized self-adjoint, maximal dissipative or maximal accumulative Robin Laplacians on a bounded domain $Ω$ with smooth boundary $\partialΩ$. For this we apply the recently introduced abstract notion of quasi boundary triples and Weyl functions from extension theory of symmetric operators together with Krein type resolvent formulae and well-known eigenvalue asymptotics of the Laplace-Beltrami operator on $\partialΩ$. It will be shown that the resolvent difference of two generalized Rob…
This paper is concerned with the Dirichlet problem for an equation involving the 1--Laplacian operator $Δ_1 u$ and having a singular term of the type $\frac{f(x)}{u^γ}$. Here $f\in L^N(Ω)$ is nonnegative, $0<γ\le1$ and $Ω$ is a bounded domain with Lipschitz--continuous boundary. We prove an existence result for a concept of solution conveniently defined. The solution is obtained as limit of solutions of $p$--Laplacian type problems. Moreover, when $f(x)>0$ a.e., the solution satisfies those features that might be expected as well as a uniqueness result. We also give explicit 1--dimensional exa…
We study the two-dimensional generalized magnetohydrodynamics-$α$ system with fractional Laplacians in the dissipative and diffusive terms. We show that the solution pair of velocity and magnetic fields preserves their initial regularity in all cases when the powers add up to one. This settles the global regularity issue in the general case which was remarked by the authors in [33] to be a problem.
We study the quasilinear Dirichlet boundary problem \begin{equation}\nonumber \left\{ \begin{aligned} -Qu&=λe^{u} \quad \mbox{in}\quadΩ\\ u&=0 \quad \mbox{on}\quad\partialΩ,\\ \end{aligned} \right. \end{equation} where $λ>0$ is a parameter, $Ω\subset\mathbb{R}^{N}$ with $N\geq2$ be a bounded domain, and the operator $Q$, known as Finsler-Laplacian or anisotropic Laplacian, is defined by $$Qu:=\sum_{i=1}^{N}\frac{\partial}{\partial x_{i}}(F(\nabla u)F_{ξ_{i}}(\nabla u)). $$ Here, $F_{ξ_{i}}=\frac{\partial F}{\partialξ_{i}}$ and $F: \mathbb{R}^{N}\rightarrow[0,+\infty)$ is a convex function of $…
We deal with existence, uniqueness, and regularity for solutions of the boundary value problem $$ \begin{cases} {\mathcal L}^s u = μ&\quad \text{in $Ω$}, u(x)=0 \quad &\text{on} \ \ \mathbb{R}^N\backslashΩ, \end{cases} $$ where $Ω$ is a bounded domain of $\mathbb{R}^N$, $μ$ is a bounded radon measure on $Ω$, and ${\mathcal L}^s$ is a nonlocal operator of fractional order $s$ whose kernel $K$ is comparable with the one of the factional laplacian.
In this article we apply the method used in the recent elegant proof by Kiselev, Nazarov and Volberg of the well-posedness of critically dissipative 2D quasi-geostrophic equation to the super-critical case. We prove that if the initial value is smooth and periodic, and $\left\| \nabla θ_0 \right\|_{L^{\infty}}^{1 - 2 s} \left\| θ_0 \right\|_{L^{\infty}}^{2 s}$ is small, where $s$ is the power of the fractional Laplacian, then no finite time singularity will occur for the super-critically dissipative 2D quasi-geostrophic equation.
