Comparison of solutions of Hamilton-Jacobi equations with different initial conditions
Consider a Hamilton-Jacobi equation:
$$u_{t} + f(u_{x}) = 0 \quad (x,t) \in \mathbb{R}\times [0,+\infty)$$
with two possible initial conditions $u(x,0) = g_{i}(x)$ for $x \in \mathbb{R}$ and $i=1,2$. ...

Convex solutions of the Poisson equation
Let $D$ be a planar, bounded, convex open domain. Given a positive function $f:D\to(0,+\infty)$, let us consider the Poisson equation
$$\Delta u=f\quad\hbox{in }D.$$
Not specifying any boundary ...

Log-concavity of the modified Bessel function of a second kind
I was searching for some results for the log-concavity of the modified Bessel function of a second type, but I failed. Has there been any known work on this? I am not even sure if it is the modified ...

Sufficient conditions for the convexity of the discrete Fourier transforms
Let $f : [0,2\pi] \to \mathbb{R}$ be some function. Then the discrete Fourier transform of $f$ when sampled at $2\pi i/N$ is then given by
$$
X_n := \sum_{i=0}^{N-1}\cos\left(\frac{2\pi n i}{N}\right)...

Convex solutions of linear hyperbolic PDEs in a planar domain
Consider a linear homogeneous 2nd-order PDE in a convex planar domain $\Omega$ :
$$a(x,y)\frac{\partial^2u}{\partial x^2}+2b(x,y)\frac{\partial^2u}{\partial x\partial y}+c(x,y)\frac{\partial^2u}{\...

Questions about the regularity of the "norm" associated to a convex set
Suppose $K\subset \mathbb{R} ^n$ is a closed convex set whose interior contains the origin. We can assign a gauge function to $K$ as $g_{K}(x):=\inf\{\lambda>0 \mid x\in\lambda K\}$. $g_K$ has all ...

Why pseudoconvexity is important in Partial differential equation theory?
I am a new researcher in mathematics and I work on convexity. Are convexity and pseudoconvexity related topics and in which respect to PDE theory ? One of the important results in PDE theory is the ...
