Reference request: Expository paper on the use of functional analysis in differential and integral equations

Some textbooks on functional analysis do not hint that a major raison d'être of the subject is its use in the study of differential and integral equations. The reader could go all the way through ...

Differential equations: trying to connect a nonlinear equation to a linear one

The following is motivated by taking a product space $\Omega$ and splitting it into two parts via projections, whose subspaces, $T$ and $X$, are home to functions which satisfy a nonlinear PDE and a ...

Periodicity and Burger's equation

Consider the 1-dimensional Burger's equation on a finite interval $I=(0,1)$, $$u_t+uu_x=u_{xx}$$ with initial condition $$u(x,0)=f(x)$$ and boundary conditions $$u(0,t)=A(t) \qquad u(1,t)=B(t).$$ ...

Di Perna-Lions theory for transport equations with an additional integral operator

I'm looking for a reference about some possible generalization of the well-known Di Perna-Lions theory for transport equations (say, on $[0,T] \times \mathbb{R}^d$) of the form \begin{align} \...

Parabolic regularization for the Navier-Stokes equations

I'm looking for some references about a result on the Navier-Stokes equations which seems to be folklore but for which I didn't manage to find a proof. The setting is the following : Let $Q=\mathbb{R}^...

Regular Lagrangian flows on a domain of $\mathbb{R}^d$ with a boundary

I'm looking for some references about the theory of regular Lagrangian flows on a smooth domain $\Omega$ of $\mathbb{R}^d$ (say a smooth bounded open set of $\mathbb{R}^d$ or a half space). Here, ...

Property of Fixed Point Function

Given an operator $\mathcal{T}$ that maps from a function $f: \mathbb{R}^d\rightarrow \mathbb{R}$ to another function $f': \mathbb{R}^d\rightarrow \mathbb{R}$, we are interested in the fixed point $f^*...

Criteria for Schrödinger operator on real line to have simple spectrum

Consider a Schrödinger operator $H:=-\Delta+V$ on $\mathbb R$, where $V$ is such that $H$ has a purely discrete spectrum $-\infty<\lambda_1\leq\lambda_2\leq\cdots$ converging to $+\infty$. Do there ...

Reference request: Original source of Yosida approximation

Numerous papers/books(citation needed) refer to the operator $$A_\lambda := \lambda AR_\lambda (A) = \lambda^2 R_\lambda(A) - \lambda I$$ where $R_\lambda(A)=(I+\lambda A)^{-1}$ is the resolvent, as ...

Point Spectrum of a Second Order System of Differential Equations

Consider the following operator acting on $H^1(\mathbb{R})$ $$ \mathcal{L} \left(\begin{array}{c} \phi \\ \psi \end{array}\right) = -\left(\begin{array}{c} \phi \\ \psi \end{array}\right)'' + V(x) \...
