Continuity with values in L^2

Hi, let $T>0$, $\Omega\subset\mathrm{R}^n$ be a bounded smooth domain and suppose $$u\in L^2(0,T;W^{1,2}(\Omega))\cap L^\infty((0,T)\times\Omega))\ \text{and } \partial_tu\in L^2(0,T;W^{-1,2}(\...

Abstract ODE; PDE; uniqueness of solution

I have a somewhat vague question regarding an abstract ODE in a Banach space. Suppose $A:D(A) \subset X \rightarrow X$ is some linear operator (let's assume it's closed) and maybe add some other ...

Existence for ODE in Banach space (accretive operators and Crandall-Liggett)

There is a theory of mild solutions $u \in C^0(0,T;X)$ where $X$ is a Banach space for equations of the form $$\frac{du}{dt} + Au = f$$ where $A$ is an accretive nonlinear operator under some ...

What are the basis functions for a product space?

Let $X=L^1\left([0,1]^3\right)$, for numerical purpose, what are the possible basis function for $X$? In finite element method, the basis functions are tooth functions, or polynomial functions. Is ...

A contradiction to do with continuity? (involves chain rule)

Suppose for each $t$, $S(t) \subset \mathbb{R}^n$ is a domain (hypersurface). We have a diffeomorphism $D^0_t:S(0) \to S(t)$ for each $t$ such that it solves the ODE $$\frac{d}{dt}D^0_t(\cdot) = V(D^...

Solutions to Heat Equations with Obstacles!

Consider a closed Riemannian manifold $(M,g)$ and a positive function $\psi: M \to R$. Fix a point $p \in M$, I have been struggling to construct a solution to the heat equation, $\partial_t u = \...

Finding a dimension-free bound for a certain multiplier on Euclidean space

The following question is indirectly motivated by strong type maximal function estimates. Let $f\in L_{p}(\mathbb{R}^{n})$. For $\xi=(\xi_{1},\ldots,\xi_{n})\in\mathbb{R}^{n}$ define $m(\xi)$ so ...

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 ...

Inclusions of $C^{k,\alpha}$ spaces

When is $C^{k,\alpha}(\bar{\Omega})$ a subset of $C^{k',\alpha'}(\bar{\Omega})$? Gilbarg and Trudinger says that "for the domains of interest in this work the inclusion will hold whenever $k + \...

Green's function for wave equations in R² or R³

Hello, For almost one year, I am searching for the Green's function for wave equation in R² or R³ with some boundary conditions. As far as I know, when the boundaries permit the method of images, we ...
