Hölder continuity for operators
Let $x,y$ be positive real numbers then
$$|\sqrt{x}-\sqrt{y}|=\dfrac{|x-y|}{\sqrt{x}+\sqrt{y}}=\sqrt{|x-y|}\cdot \dfrac{\sqrt{|x-y|}}{\sqrt{x}+\sqrt{y}}\leq 1\cdot |x-y|^{\frac{1}{2}}$$
we obtain $1/...

Criteria for operators to have infinitely many eigenvalues
Normal compact linear operators on Hilbert spaces have infinitely many (counting multiplicities) eigenvalues by the spectral theorem.
For non-normal operators this no longer has to be true.
There ...

Backward heat equation and forward perturbed heat equation well posed?
I consider the following scenario. Let $I$ be a compact interval in space and $f$ a nice function in the space $C^{\infty}(I)$. In the following we consider a self-adjoint realization of our operators ...

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 ...

A question on the Frechet derivative
Suppose the derivative of a functional is given by
\begin{equation*}
\int_{\Omega}(\vec{v}.\nabla u)|\nabla u|^{p-2} \phi=\int_{\Omega}\nabla.(u\vec{v})|\nabla u|^{p-2} \phi,~\phi\in W_0^{1,p}(\...

Lipschitz bound on semigroups
Let $T$ be a self-adjoint operator (possibly unbounded) and $S$ a bounded self-adjoint operator.
Then one can study the unitary groups $R_T(t):=e^{itT}$ and $R_S(t):=e^{itS}.$
Now if you think about ...

Interpolation of a trilinear functional
Let $f,g,h\in L^2([0,1]^2)$ and let $K:\mathbb{R}^3\to \mathbb{C}$ be some smooth kernel with support containing $[0,1]^3$. Denote by $\|f\|_2$ the $L^2([0,1]^2)$ norm of $f$, and same with $g,h.$ If ...

A property of one-parameter groups of operators
Let $X$ be a Banach space. We consider the evolution equation:
$$x'(t)=Ax(t), \ \ \ \ \ \ \ t\in \mathbb{R},$$
where $A$ is a bounded operator.
I know that if $X=\mathbb{R^n}$ and $A$ is a matrix, ...

Continuity of a minimizing measure w.r.t a parameter
Let $V_t(x)=x^2+t\phi(x)$ where $t>0$ and $\phi\in C^\infty_c(\mathbb{R})$.
My question is what can be said about the continuity of the (unique) minimizer (among probability measures) of the ...

Limit-circle and limit-point at endpoints
I was wondering if the following holds:
If you have an ODE $$-y''(x) + q(x) y(x) = \lambda y(x)$$ on a finite interval $(a,b)$ and you know that this equation is limit-circle or limit-point at the ...

How to prove that the function $\lambda \mapsto \langle T_{\lambda}f; g\rangle$ is holomorphic?
Let $\langle;\rangle$ be the usual scalar product on $L^2(\Bbb R^2)$.
How to prove that the function $\lambda \mapsto \langle T_{\lambda}f; g\rangle$ is holomorphic on $\Bbb C^+_*=\{z\in\Bbb C:\text{...
