Time regularity vs space regularity for parabolic PDE

Suppose that there exist separable Hilbert spaces $V, H, X$ such that $V\hookrightarrow H\hookrightarrow X\hookrightarrow V'\,$ continuously, where $V'$ denotes the dual of the Hilbert space $V$. Let ...

Closure of Laplacian

Let $(M,g)$ be a complete Riemannian manifold and $\Delta$ the (positive) Laplace-Beltrami operator. Now, consider this operator as an operator $$\Delta:\mathcal{D}(\Delta)\to L^{2}(M)$$ There are two ...

Nonlocal elliptic problem - what is its associated energy?

It is well known that for any smooth domain $\Omega\subset\mathbb{R}^N$ the energy functional (the one for which the Euler-Lagrange equation is our b.v.p.) associated to the following local problem: $$...

A question about Gauss-Green formula - a weaker assumption

The question I have in mind is the following: how can we prove that for any $v\in H^1(\Omega)$ and for any $u\in H^1(\Omega)$ with $\Delta u\in L^2(\Omega)$ the Gauss-Green identity takes place $$\...

Explicit example $f_k \to f$ converging strongly in $L^6(R^3)$, but only weakly in $H^1(R^3)$

Can we find an explicit example of a sequence of functions $f_k \in H^1({\mathbf R}^3)$ such that, $f_k \rightharpoonup f$ weakly converges in $H^1({\mathbf R}^3)$ and $f_k \to f$ strongly converges ...

Trace inequality normal derivative

For $v(\Omega) \in W^1_2$ and $\Omega \in C^1$ we have a trace inequality: $$\Vert v \Vert _{L_2(\partial \Omega)} \leq C_\Omega \Vert v \Vert _{W_2^1},$$ which can be found in many places in the ...

A basic question about the Spectral Theorem

Let $\Omega$ be a bounded open region in $\mathbb{R}^n$ and $\phi_i $ be the eigenfunctions of $-\Delta$ with Dirichlet boundary condition, i.e. $$-\Delta \phi_i=\lambda_i \phi_i, \ \ \phi_i|_{\...

Almost orthonormal projection and orthonormal projection in Hilbert space

Let $(e_i)_i$ be a family of vectors in a Hilbert space being almost orthonormal but not quite, i.e. $$\langle e_i, e_j \rangle \approx \delta_{i,j} + \alpha e^{-\vert i-j \vert} $$ and $\alpha$ is ...

A Question on certain Hilbert space of continuous functions, and a characteristic of convergence in it

Define $T^k(\Omega)$, $\Omega$ an open subset of $\mathbb{R}^m$ (with a smooth boundary), as a space of function equivalance classes, with the norm defined as $$ \|f\|_{T^k(\Omega)}^2 = \|f\|_{L^2(...

Constant in trace theorem for balls

Consider the standard open ball $B_r:=\left\{x ; \left\lvert x \right\rvert \le R \right\}.$ The trace theorem tells us any function in $W^{k,p}(B_r)$ can be restricted to a function $W^{k-1,p}(\...

Consider the Hilbert space of functions $f \in L^2(\mathbb R)$ such that $x^2f \in L^2(\mathbb R) $ and $ f'' \in L^2(\mathbb R).$ I am wondering whether it is true that $xf'\in L^2(\mathbb R)$ as ...
