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 ...

Function monotony between [0,T] and $L^2$

Let $\Omega\subseteq\mathbb{R}^N$ be a bounded and smooth domain. If $z:[0,T]\to L^2(\Omega)$ is a function in $H^1([0,T],L^2(\Omega))$ with the property that $z'(t)(x):=z'(t,x)>0$ a.e. on $\Omega$ ...

Limiting absorption principle for higher powers of resolvents

Let $H$, $A$ be self-adjoint operators on a Hilbert space. Moreover, let $I$ be a bounded open interval contained in the spectrum of $H$. Assume that $H$,$A$ satisfy the following positive commutator ...

$x f'$ bounded by $x^2f $ and $f''$?

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

Completion of $C_0^{\infty}(\mathbb{R}^N)$ with norm $\|u\|= \Bigg(\int_{{\mathbb{R}}^N} |\Delta u |^2 \, \mathrm{d}x \Bigg)^{\frac{1}{2}}. $

I have a question that I could not find it any where. Is the completion of $C_0^{\infty}(\mathbb{R}^N)$ with the respect to norm $$\|u\|= \Bigg(\int_{{\mathbb{R}}^N} |\Delta u |^2 \, \mathrm{d}x \...

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}(\...

Flows in Hilbert spaces

Let $\varphi: [0,T] \rightarrow H$ be a Hilbert space valued $C^1$-function. Let $H = X \oplus X^{\perp}$ such that $\varphi(0) \in X$ and the implication $\varphi(t) \in X \Rightarrow \varphi'(t) \in ...

What is the idea behind interpolation spaces?

I am working through a text on Numerics for SPDEs and there the concept an interpolation (Hilbert-)space associated to an operator is used. To be specific: Definition. Let $H$ be an $\mathbb{R}$-...

A linear operator equation (PDE) with non-monotone term

I'm interested in the existence and/or uniqueness to the following problem. Let $V$ and $H$ be Hilbert spaces and $V \subset H \subset V^*$ form a Gelfand triple. There is a linear operator $L:{D}(L) ...
