Refined localization spaces, Kondratiev spaces with fractional smoothness and extension operators

In this paper, we introduce Kondratiev spaces of fractional smoothness based on their close relation to refined localization spaces. Moreover, we investigate relations to other approaches leading to extensions of the scale of Kondratiev spaces with integer order of smoothness, based on complex interpolation, and give further results for complex interpolation of those function spaces. As it turns out to be one of the main tools in studying these spaces on domains of polyhedral type, certain aspects of the analysis of Stein's extension operator are revisited. Finally, as an application, we study Sobolev-type embeddings.

Relations between Kondratiev spaces and refined localization Triebel-Lizorkin spaces

We investigate the close relation between certain weighted Sobolev spaces (Kondratiev spaces) and refined localization spaces from introduced by Triebel [39,40]. In particular, using a characterization for refined localization spaces from Scharf [32], we considerably improve an embedding from Hansen [17]. This embedding is of special interest in connection with convergence rates for adaptive approximation schemes.

Besov regularity of non-linear parabolic PDEs on non-convex polyhedral domains

This paper is concerned with the regularity of solutions to parabolic evolution equations. We consider semilinear problems on non-convex domains. Special attention is paid to the smoothness in the specific scale $B^r_{\tau,\tau}$, $\frac{1}{\tau}=\frac rd+ \frac 1p$ of Besov spaces. The regularity in these spaces determines the approximation order that can be achieved by adaptive and other nonlinear approximation schemes. We show that for all cases under consideration the Besov regularity is high enough to justify the use of adaptive algorithms. Our proofs are based on Schauder's fixed point theorem.

An extension operator for Sobolev spaces with mixed weights

We provide an extension operator for weighted Sobolev spaces on bounded polyhedral cones $K$ involving a mixture of weights, which measure the distance to the vertex and the edges of the cone, respectively. Our results are based on Stein's extension operator for Sobolev spaces.

Properties of Kondratiev spaces

In this paper, we investigate Kondratiev spaces on domains of polyhedral type. In particular, we will be concerned with necessary and sufficient conditions for continuous and compact embeddings, and in addition we shall deal with pointwise multiplication in these spaces.

Inferring Interaction Rules From Observations of Evolutive Systems I: The Variational Approach

In this paper we are concerned with the learnability of nonlocal interaction kernels for first order systems modeling certain social interactions, from observations of realizations of their dynamics. This paper is the first of a series on learnability of nonlocal interaction kernels and presents a variational approach to the problem. In particular, we assume here that the kernel to be learned is bounded and locally Lipschitz continuous and that the initial conditions of the systems are drawn identically and independently at random according to a given initial probability distribution. Then the minimization over a rather arbitrary sequence of (finite dimensional) subspaces of a least square functional measuring the discrepancy from observed trajectories produces uniform approximations to the kernel on compact sets. The convergence result is obtained by combining mean-field limits, transport methods, and a $\Gamma$-convergence argument. A crucial condition for the learnability is a certain coercivity property of the least square functional, majoring an $L_2$-norm discrepancy to the kernel with respect to a probability measure, depending on the given initial probability distribution by suitable push forwards and transport maps. We illustrate the convergence result by means of several numerical experiments.

First Class Constrained Systems and Twisting of Courant Algebroids by a Closed 4-form

We show that in analogy to the introduction of Poisson structures twisted by a closed 3-form by Park and Klimcik-Strobl, the study of three dimensional sigma models with Wess-Zumino term leads in a likewise way to twisting of Courant algebroid structures by closed 4-forms H. The presentation is kept pedagogical and accessible to physicists as well as to mathematicians, explaining in detail in particular the interplay of field transformations in a sigma model with the type of geometrical structures induced on a target. In fact, as we also show, even if one does not know the mathematical concept of a Courant algebroid, the study of a rather general class of 3-dimensional sigma models leads one to that notion by itself. Courant algebroids became of relevance for mathematical physics lately from several perspectives - like for example by means of using generalized complex structures in String Theory. One may expect that their twisting by the curvature H of some 3-form Ramond-Ramond gauge field will become of relevance as well.
