Does $(\nabla \times F) \cdot F= (\nabla \times F) \cdot \nabla f$ have a solution?
A grad student asked me this question during office hours, and I couldn't for the life of me come up with a proof or counterexample:
For a given $F:\mathbb{R}^3 \to \mathbb{R}^3$, does $(\nabla \...

Linear transport equation with unbounded coefficients
Consider the PDE
$$\partial_t f(x,t) = \langle q(x), \nabla \rangle f(t,x) + p(x),$$
with Schwartz initial data $f(0,x) = f_0(x) \in \mathscr S(\mathbb R^n).$
I am wondering then if $q$ and all its ...

Method of characteristics beyond the Lipschitz setting
I have come across the following easy-looking problem that is driving me mad.
I have a family of measures (on the real line $\mathbb R$) $\{\mu_t\}_{t>0}$ which is uniformly bounded (the measures ...

ODE with Bessel decay
This is related to my previous question, but it is probably less scary and an expert in using Mathematica could figure out an answer easily.
I would like to estimate the asymptotic behaviour of the ...

General formula for integrating factor of an homogeneous differential 1 form
This question is probably very elementary but I don't know how to tackle the conversely part of the following result. Let $M(x,y)$ and $N(x,y)$ be two differentiable and homogeneous functions of the ...

Some Questions from Reading on Wave Front Set from Hormander's Linear PDE Vol. 1
In Hormander's Linear PDE Vol. 1 (pg 252-253, before the definition of wave front set is introduced), Lemma $8.1.1$ says that if $\phi \in C_{0}^{\infty}$ and $v \in \mathcal{E}^{\prime}$, then $\...

Linear transport equation with Lipschitz conditions
Given the equation here, I would like to ask the following relaxed question:
Consider the PDE
$$\partial_t f(x,t) = \langle q(x), \nabla \rangle f(t,x) + p(x),$$
with Schwartz initial data $f(0,x) = ...

Maximal minimum of Bessel functions
This comes from a scattering problem. Consider the usual non singular Bessel functions of the first kind, $J_n(x)$. It is known that their zeros are countable, and all zeros are distinct. My question ...

Uniqueness of the solution to systems of first-order linear PDEs
Context:
Let $\Omega \subset \mathbb{R}^p$ be an domain.
For functions $A_{jk}^i : \Omega \to \mathbb{R}$ and $B_k^i : \Omega \to \mathbb{R}$ with some regularity, I am interested in the following ...

Laplace problem with Robin boundary condition on a wedge
I'm trying to understand what the essential differences between Dirichlet/Neumann and Robin boundary conditions are. Therefore, let $\omega \in \left(0, 2\pi\right)$ and let

Bound deg 3 partial differential operator on Laplace eigenfunction?
I am no expert on PDE and analysis but I am looking for certain technique from PDE.
Let $D_2$ be the Laplace operator and $f$ is an eigenfunction, i.e., $D_2 f=\lambda f$ for some $\lambda>1$. (or ...

Weak maximum principle for a perturbation of the Laplacian
This question is motivated by similar considerations for the Kohn-Laplacian in the Heisenberg group, but it seems that I cannot even give an answer in the Euclidean case, so here we go.
Suppose that ...
