When is a Nemytskii map between Sobolev spaces compact?
Let $f:\mathbb{R} \to \mathbb{R}$ be a smooth function with bounded derivative. Define the Nemytskii map $F:H^1(\Omega) \to H^1(\Omega)$ by $F(u)(x) := f(u(x))$. Here $\Omega$ is a bounded smooth ...

Example when Kantorovich condition would not hold
Let $K \in M_+(R_+^2), f \in M_+(R_+)$. Consider operator
$$
(T_k)(x)=\int_{R_+}K(x,y)f(y)dy, \quad y\in R_+.
$$
Denote by $f^*(t)=\inf\{\lambda>0: \alpha x \in R_+: \mu_f(y)>\lambda\}$ the non-...

Inequality for fractional power norm (sectorial operators)
How could we prove following inequality:
$\int\limits_{0}^{l} u^{3}(x) dx \leq \sqrt{l} \cdot|| u||_{\frac{1}{2}}^{3}$
where
$ || u ||_{\frac{1}{2}} = ||A^{\frac{1}{2}}(u)||_{L^{2}} + || u ||_{L^{...
