Generalized Fuchsian-type PDE

Consider $$ \big(1+ t\partial_t\big) \left(\partial^3_x+ {6\over x}\partial^2_x + {6\over x^2}\partial_x\right)A(x,t)+ {t\over (1-x)^3} A(x,t)=0 $$ with the initial condition $A(x,0)=1$. In a small $t$...

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 ...

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 ...

Has this form of the heat equation been solved for the radiation boundary condition

Below is a solution to a special form of the heat equation. I have found the postings on the heat equation and they are far above my head. I tried to find a tag on Transport Theory for both heat and ...

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 ...

Is this Stefan-type problem an open problem?

I am looking for a weak-formulation that would give me an existence and uniqueness of a solution of a Stefan-type problem. It is basically a 2-phase Stefan problem in 2D except that the free-boundary ...

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 $$ u(t,x)= \int_R \frac{e^{-\frac{(x-y)^2}{2t}}}{\sqrt{2\pi t}} \mu(d y) $$ ...
