Huygens' principle or finite speed of propagation?
I am reading the paper Large global solutions for energy supercritical nonlinear wave equations on $\mathbb{R}^{3+1}$ by Krieger and Schlag and am confused by one of their steps.
For context, $v(t,r)$ ...

Eigenvalue of a convolution and a restriction?
Let $\epsilon>0$ be small. Let $\eta(t) = \frac{2\epsilon}{\epsilon^2+(2\pi t)^2}$ (the Fourier transform of $x\mapsto e^{-\epsilon |x|}$). Let $V$ be the space of integrable, bounded functions $f:\...

About BMO space on smooth open bounded domain
Let $\Omega$ be any open domain in $\Bbb R^d$.
Define the $\text{BMO}(\Omega)$ space as
$$ \text{BMO}(\Omega)= \big\{u\in L^1_{loc}(\Omega)\,\,:\,\, |u|_{\text{BMO}(\Omega)} <\infty \big\},
$$

Mapping properties of the Schrödinger semigroup
The Schrödinger semigroup $e^{t(-\Delta +V(x))}$ for Kato class potentials is fairly well-understood. A classical reference is the AMS paper "Schrödinger Semigroups" by Barry Simon. I was ...

Function that is (essentially) a self-convolution but not a multiple of a self-convolution
Call a function $F:\mathbb{R}\to C$ nice if it is of the form $F = f\ast \tilde{f}$, where $\tilde{f}(x) = \overline{f(-x)}$. (Of course nice functions are precisely those whose Fourier transform is ...

Linear and non-linear intersection to solve ODE
Consider a linear operator $$L(u(t)) = \dfrac{d}{dt}u(t)+p(t)u(t)$$ for known function $p(t)$. It is well known the homogeneous equation $$L(u) = 0 ~~\text{or}~~\dfrac{d}{dt}u(t)+p(t)u(t)= 0$$ has ...

Exercise generalizing (related to) Hölder's inequality
I came across this exercise and feel absolutely stuck:
Let $p, q, r \in (1, \infty]$ be such that $1/p + 1/q = 1 + 1/r$. Suppose that $F : \mathbb{R}^n \times \mathbb{R}^n \to \mathbb{R}$ satisfies ...

$L_1$ norm of $f\in L^1(\mathbb{R}^n)$ compactly supported and its change of variable
Let $M\in\mathbb{R}^{n\times n}$ be an invertible matrix, denote its induced linear map on $\mathbb{R}^n$ also by $M$, and let $f\in L^1(\mathbb{R}^n)$ be compactly supported.
I am wondering if we can ...
