Rate of convergence of smooth mollifiers
How does one figure out/prove the rate of convergence (in some norm) of mollifiers given a function bounded in some other norm (say Sobolev space, Besov space)? Also, is there a dimensional analysis ...

Endpoint Strichartz Estimates for the Schrödinger Equation
The non-endpoint Strichartz estimates for the (linear) Schrödinger equation:
$$
\|e^{i t \Delta/2} u_0 \|_{L^q_t L^r_x(\mathbb{R}\times \mathbb{R}^d)} \lesssim \|u_0\|_{L^2_x(\mathbb{R}^d)}
$$

Regularity properties of the derivatives of a particular function on $D \times D\to \bar{D} $ ?
This question might sound a little less rigorously formulated, but I hope the question still makes sense.
Let $h: S^1 \to S^1$ be an oriention-preserving homeomorphism and let $p(z,t) = \frac{1}{2\...

Does this dyadic sum converge?
Let $a\in (0,1)$ and define
$$J(j):=\int_{0}^{\infty} e^{- 2^{j} s} \frac{s^{a}}{1+s^{2a}} ds,\quad j\in \mathbb{Z}.$$
Note that rescaling $2^{j} s\mapsto s$ shows that
$$J(j)\leq 2^{-j(1+a)}\int_{0}^...
