Multipolar potentials and weighted Hardy inequalities

\begin{abstract} In this paper we state the following weighted Hardy type inequality for any functions $φ$ in a weighted Sobolev space and for weight functions $μ$ of a quite general type \begin{equation*} c_{N,μ} \int_{\R^N}V\,φ^2μ(x)dx\le \int_{\R^N}|\nabla φ|^2μ(x)dx +C_μ\int_{\R^N}W φ^2μ(x)dx, \end{equation*} where $V$ is a multipolar potential and $W$ is a bounded function from above depending on $μ$. The method to get the result is based on the introduction of a suitable vector value function and on an integral identity that we state in the paper. We prove that the constant $c_{N,μ}$ in the estimate is optimal by building a suitable sequence of functions. \end{abstract}

Weighted Hardy inequalities and Ornstein-Uhlenbeck type operators perturbed by multipolar inverse square potentials

We give necessary and sufficient conditions for the existence of weak solutions of a parabolic problem corresponding to the Kolmogorov operators perturbed by a multipolar inverse square potential with respect to the Gaussian probability measure which is the unique invariant measure for Ornstein-Uhlenbeck type operators. We state the optimality of the constant and, then, the nonexistence of positive exponentially bounded solutions to the parabolic problem.

Morrey type spaces and multiplication operator in Sobolev spaces

The paper deals with the operator $u\rightarrow gu$ defined in the Sobolev space $W^{r,p}(Ω)$ and which takes values in $L^p(Ω)$ when $Ω$ is an unbounded open subset in $R^n$. The functions $g$ belong to wider spaces of $L^p$ connected with the Morrey type spaces. $L^p$ estimates and compactness results are stated.

Analitic approach to solve a degenerate parabolic PDE for the Heston model

We present an analytic approach to solve a degenerate parabolic problem associated to the Heston model, which is widely used in mathematical finance to derive the price of an European option on an risky asset with stochastic volatility. We give a variational formulation, involving weighted Sobolev spaces, of the second order degenerate elliptic operator of the parabolic PDE. We use this approach to prove, under appropriate assumptions on some involved unknown parameters, the existence and uniqueness of weak solutions to the parabolic problem on unbounded subdomains of the half-plane.
