Linear hyperbolic PDE on compact two dimensional domain
Consider the equation
$$
\begin{equation}
\frac{\partial^2f}{\partial x\partial y}=f
\end{equation}
$$
on a Jordan domain (i.e. the interior of a simple, closed curve on the plane). The equation is ...

Hörmander's hypoellipticity theorem for complex coefficients
Hörmander's theorem says that if $L = \sum _{i=1} ^r X_i ^2+ X_0 + f$ on some open subset $U \subseteq \Bbb R$ has the property that the Lie algebra generated by $\{X_0, \dots, X_r\}$ at every point ...

Long time behavior of the heat equation on R
Let $\mu\in\mathcal{S}'(R)$ be a Schwartz distribution. The solution of a heat equation with $\mu$ as the initial data is
$$
u(t,x)= \int_R \frac{e^{-\frac{(x-y)^2}{2t}}}{\sqrt{2\pi t}} \mu(d y)
$$

A Global Estimates for Linear Elliptic PDE
Let $\Omega$ be a bounded smooth region in $R^n$ and $u$ satisfy
$-\Delta u+a(x)u=f, \ \ u|_{\partial \Omega}=0$,
where $a(x)\geq 0$ and $f(x)$ are smooth functions. I wonder if the following ...

Justification for uniqueness of solutions to dispersive PDE
For the sake of concreteness, we consider the linear Schrödinger equation
$$
\partial_t u = i\Delta u, \ \ \ \ u(0, x) = u_0(x).
$$
The solution is typically obtained by taking the Fourier transform ...
