Estimate for the operator $A A_D^{-1}$
Let $O\subset\mathbb{R}^d$
be a bounded domain of the class $C^{1,1}$
(or $C^2$
for simplicity). Let the operator $A_D$
be formally given by the differential expression $A=-\operatorname{div}g(x)\...

Parabolic PDE Long Time Asymptotics and Elliptic Operator Spectrum II
This is a follow-up on a previous question. Now the parabolic PDE of $P(t,x,v)$ has two spatial dimensions.
$$
\partial_t P = L^* P \tag1
$$
$$L^*P = \frac12\left(\kappa^2\frac{\partial^2}{\partial v^...

orthonormal basis of eigenvectors for laplacian on a concave polygon
I am interested in the Laplace operator $\Delta$ on a concave polygon.
When the polygon is convex, it is known that $\Delta: H^2(\Omega) \rightarrow L^2(\Omega)$
is boundedly invertible. In addition, ...
