We prove a representation formula for superharmonic functions on the half-space $\mathbb{R}^N_+ := \mathbb{R}^{N-1}\times]0,+\infty[$. As a consequence, we derive some comparison principles and various positivity results.
We investigate the possibility of improving the $p$-Poincaré inequality $\|\nabla_{\mathbb{H}^N} u\|_p \ge Λ_p \|u\|_p$ on the hyperbolic space, where $p>2$ and $Λ_p:=[(N-1)/p]^{p}$ is the best constant for which such inequality holds. We prove several different, and independent, improved inequalities, one of which is a Poincaré-Hardy inequality, namely an improvement of the best $p$-Poincaré inequality in terms of the Hardy weight $r^{-p}$, $r$ being geodesic distance from a given pole. Certain Hardy-Maz'ya-type inequalities in the Euclidean half-space are also obtained.
In this paper, we prove the following result. Let $α$ be any real number between $0$ and $2$. Assume that $u$ is a solution of $$ \left\{\begin{array}{ll} (-Δ)^{α/2} u(x) = 0 , \;\; x \in \mathbb{R}^n ,\\ \displaystyle\underset{|x| \to \infty}{\underline{\lim}} \frac{u(x)}{|x|^γ} \geq 0 , \end{array} \right. $$ for some $0 \leq γ\leq 1$ and $γ< α$. Then $u$ must be constant throughout $\mathbb{R}^n$. This is a Liouville Theorem for $α$-harmonic functions under a much weaker condition. For this theorem we have two different proofs by using two different methods: One is a direct approach using potential theory. The other is by Fourier analysis as a corollary of the fact that the only $α$-harmonic functions are affine.
We prove a simple sufficient criteria to obtain some Hardy inequalities on Riemannian manifolds related to quasilinear second-order differential operator $Δ_{p}u := \Div(\abs{\nabla u}^{p-2}\nabla u)$. Namely, if $ρ$ is a nonnegative weight such that $-Δ_{p}ρ\geq0$, then the Hardy inequality $$c\int_{M}\frac{\abs{u}^{p}}{ρ^{p}}\abs{\nabla ρ}^{p} dv_{g} \leq \int_{M}\abs{\nabla u}^{p} dv_{g}, \quad u\in\Cinfinito_{0}(M)$$ holds. We show concrete examples specializing the function $ρ$.
We prove general a priori estimates of solutions of a class of quasilinear elliptic system on Carnot groups. As a consequence, we obtain several non existence theorems. The results are new even in the Euclidean setting.
We study the uniqueness problem of $σ$-regular solution of the equation, $$-Δ_p u+ \abs u^{q-1}u =h \quad on\quad \RN, $$ where $q>p-1>0.$ and $N> p.$ Other coercive type equations associated to more general differential operators are also investigated. Our uniqueness results hold for equations associated to the mean curvature type operators as well as for more general quasilinear subelliptic operators.
We study a class of systems of quasilinear differential inequalities associated to weakly coercive differential operators and power reaction terms. The main model cases are given by the $p$-Laplacian operator as well as the mean curvature operator in non parametric form. We prove that if the exponents lie under a certain curve, then the system has only the trivial solution. These results hold without any restriction provided the possible solutions are more regular. The underlying framework is the classical Euclidean case as well as the Carnot groups setting.
Let $f :\R\to\R$ be a continuous function. We prove that under some additional assumptions on $f$ and $A:\R\to\R_{+}$, weak $\Cuno$ solutions of the differential inequality $-\diver(A(\abs{\nabla u})\nabla u)\ge f(u)$ on $\RN$ are nonnegative. Some extensions of the result in the framework of subelliptic operators on Carnot Groups are considered.
We prove some Hardy type inequalities related to quasilinear second order degenerate elliptic differential operators L_p(u):=-\nabla_L^*(\abs{\nabla_L u}^{p-2}\nabla_L u). If ϕis a positive weight such that -L_pϕ>= 0, then the Hardy type inequality c\int_Ω\frac{\abs u^p}{ϕ^p}\abs{\nabla_L ϕ}^p dξ\le \int_Ω\abs{\nabla_L u}^p dξholds. We find an explicit value of the constant involved, which, in most cases, results optimal. As particular case we derive Hardy inequalities for subelliptic operators on Carnot Groups.
The purpose of this paper is to study some new concrete approximation processes for continuous vector-valued mappings defined on the infinite dimensional cube or on a subset of a real Hilbert space. In both cases these operators are modelled on classical Bernstein polynomials and represent a possible extension to an infinite dimensional setting. The same idea is generalized to obtain from a given approximation process for function defined on a real interval a new approximation process for vector-valued mappings defined on subsets of a real Hilbert space.
The aim of this paper is to study the characteristics of a general method to produce a new approximation sequence from a given one, by using suitable convex combinations.
The purpose of this paper is to study the approximation of vector valued mappings defined on a subset of a normed space. We investigate Korovkin-type conditions under which a given sequence of linear operators becomes a so-called approximation process. First, we give a sufficient condition for this sequence to approximate the class of bounded, uniformly continuous functions. Then we present some sufficient and necessary conditions guaranteeing the approximation within the class of unbounded, *weak-to-norm continuous mappings. We also derive some estimates of the rate of convergence.
