Well-posedness for linear transport equations with fractional diffusion term
I have a rather applied problem where I consider an equation of the form
$$ \partial_{t} u + V\cdot \nabla u = -(-\Delta)^s u, \quad (t,x) \in (0,\infty)\times \mathbf{R}^d, \quad u(0,x) = u_0. {}$$

References on a variant of Geometric Calculus
Geometric algebra and (standard) calculus, when synthesized, give rise to geometric calculus, a very powerful formalism.
I have read a bit about fractional calculus and time-scale calculus, both very ...

Generator of an analytic semigroup
Perhaps I have a naive question. My question is as follows:
When we consider a Cauchy proposition of the following form:
$$
\begin{cases}
x'(t)= -Ax(t)+ F(t,x(t)) &\text{for}\ t> 0 \\
x(0)=...

Extension operator maps which fractional Sobolev space to $W^{p,s}(R)$
Let us assume we have the following extension operator:
$$
\operatorname{ext}_R^\sigma u=
\begin{cases}
u(x) & \text{if }x \in (0,T)\\
u(0) & \text{if }x \in(0,T)^c.
\end{cases}
$$ We ...

Fractional powers of Dirichlet-to-Neumann map to derive estimate for PDE
Assume $\Omega$ is an open, bounded subset of $\mathbb R^3$ with smooth boundary $\partial \Omega= \Gamma$. For $u \in
H^{1/2}(\Gamma)$, let $U \in H^1(\Omega)$ denote the weak solution of
the ...

Interpretation of the singular integral for the definition of fractional Laplacian in classical case $s=1$
Fractional Laplacian is often defined via next principal value integral (assume dimension one for the simplicity)
$$(-\Delta)^su(x):=c_sP.V.\int_\mathbb{R} \frac{u(x)-u(y)}{|x-y|^{1+2s}}\, dy.$$
This ...

Prove if the fractional Laplacian of a function is bounded
Take $s\in (0, 1)$. I am trying to understand if $(-\Delta)^s (\log(1+x^2))$ is bounded, that is if there exists $R>0$ such that $|(-\Delta)^s (\log(1+x^2))|\le R$.
Here $(-\Delta)^s$ is the ...

Matrix-order derivatives (differentiating a function a matrix number of times)
I have been exploring methods of generalizing the order of derivatives to a broader range of inputs (such as real numbers, complex, and now matrices). We are very well familiar with integer-order ...

Given a radial symmetric function $f$, the estimate of |$\Delta ^ {m/2}f$| in $R^{2m}$ by induction
This question might be a little strange; my order of Laplacian is related to the dimension of the space.
Actually, I’m reading a result which is obtained by induction; it is the absolute value of ...

$C^{k,\alpha}$ dependence of ODE solutions on initial data
I faced such a question. Consider the Cauchy problem for an ODE:
$$
\begin{cases}
y'=F(t,y)\\ y(0)=y_0.
\end{cases}
$$ Assume $F$ has the regularity $C^{k,\alpha}$ (i.e. it has partial derivatives of ...
