Analytic functions where all derivatives vanish at infinity and which are bounded
Let $C_0(\mathbb{R})$ denote the analytic functions $f : \mathbb{R} \rightarrow \mathbb{R}$.
I wonder whether there a functions $f \in C_0(\mathbb{R})$ with $f \neq 0$, such that there is a constant $...

Analysis of coefficients for quickly vanishing analytic vector field
Let $u = (u_1, u_2, u_3): \mathbb{R}^n \rightarrow \mathbb{R}^n$ be a divergence-free analytic vector field for $n =3$ or $n =4$, i.e., $u_i : \mathbb{R}^n \rightarrow \mathbb{R}$ are analytic ...

Analytic approximations of smooth vector fields
Let $M$ be the set of smooth divergence-free vector fields $u$ on $\mathbb{R}^3$ with
$$|\partial_x^{\alpha} u(x)| \leq C_{\alpha K}(1+|x|)^{-K}$$
on $\mathbb{R}^3$ for any $\alpha,K$.
Further, we ...

Continuity of image of resolvent operator with respect to resolvent parameter
Suppose $D$ is a first-order differential operator on a manifold $M$ and that the inverse $(D+t)^{-1}:H^0(M)\rightarrow H^1(M)$ exists for all $t > 0$, where $H^i(M)$ is the $i^\text{th}$ Sobolev ...

Inverse of pseudo differential operator
Let $\operatorname{Op}_h(x,D)(a)$ denote the Weyl-quantisation of a symbol $a$. Is there an explicit way to invert this pseudo-differential operator in an asymptotic series? By this I mean, can we ...

Getting out a system of linear ODEs by knowing the Magnus expansion
Assume we are given for a transition between two time points $t_0 = 0$ and $t_1$ a matrix relationship, eventually describing the solution of a system of linear with non-constant coefficients,
$$Y(t_1)...
