Abstract

This work presents a comprehensive study of the microlocal energy decomposition and propagation of singularities for semiclassically adjusted dissipative pseudodifferential operators. The analysis focuses on the behavior of energy dissipation in turbulent flows modeled by operators \( P_h \) with symbols \( a(x, \xi) \in S^m(\mathbb{R}^n) \), where \( m < 0 \). Using microlocal partitions of unity, we derive an expression for the energy dissipation rate \( \varepsilon_h \) in both spatial and spectral regions, showing its asymptotic equivalence to a two-dimensional integral over phase space. This framework is then applied to the study of the propagation of singularities in solutions to the equation \( P_h u_h = 0 \), where the wavefront set \( \operatorname{WF}_h(u_h) \) evolves along generalized bicharacteristics of the principal symbol \( p_0(x, \xi) \), with energy dissipation controlled by the imaginary part of \( p_0(x, \xi) \). The results combine microlocal analysis, semiclassical techniques, and symbolic calculus to offer insights into the complex dynamics of wave propagation and energy dissipation in turbulent systems, with implications for both theoretical and applied studies in mathematical physics.

Average Chord Lengths in a Triangle

Let $P$ be a point inside a triangle $T$. We consider the average length of the chords of $T$ through $P$, where the direction of the chord is chosen uniformly. An elementary formula is obtained in terms of the distances from $P$ to the sides and vertices of the triangle. Several classical triangle centers give especially simple specializations. For example, if $I$ is the incenter, then \[ M_T(I)=\frac{2r}{\pi} \log\left(\cot\frac A4\cot\frac B4\cot\frac C4\right). \] Our main result is the sharp inequality \[ M_T(P)\le \frac{p}{\pi\sqrt3}\log(2+\sqrt3), \] valid simultaneously for every triangle of perimeter $p$ and every interior point $P$. Thus, among all such pairs $(T,P)$, the largest possible average chord length occurs only when $T$ is equilateral and $P$ is its center. The proof is an elementary symmetrization argument. We close with brief remarks relating the problem to the radial center of a convex body, the electrostatic potential center of a triangle, and dual quermassintegrals.

A Proof of Liu's Conjecture on the Fundamental Triangle Inequality

Let $a,b,c$ be the side lengths of a triangle, and let $R$ and $r$ denote its circumradius and inradius, respectively. We prove a conjecture of Liu stating that \[\sum_{\mathrm{cyc}} \left(\frac{a(b+c-a)}{bc}\right)^k \geq 2+\left(\frac{2r}{R}\right)^k,~~k>1, \] with the reverse inequality for $0<k<1$. The proof reduces the problem to three positive variables with fixed sum and product. We also determine the equality cases.
