Regular Lagrangian flow for explicit ODE with discontinuous right-hand side
Consider the problem
$$(\star) \quad \begin{cases} \frac{d}{dt} X(t,x) = \begin{cases} - 1 & \text{ if } X(t,x) >0, \\
1 & \text{ if } X(t,x) < 0 \end{cases}, &t \in [0,T],\\
X(0,x) ...

$\int_{\mathbb{R}^{N}\setminus\Omega}\vert x-z\vert^{-N-\alpha} dz = c \ \forall x\in\partial U$ implies $dist(x,\partial\Omega)=c, x \in \partial U$?
Let $\alpha \in \mathbb R_+$, $\Omega \subset \mathbb R^N$ and $U \subset \Omega$. Is it true that if
$$\int_{\mathbb R^N \setminus \Omega} |x - z|^{-N-\alpha} dz = \text{constant} \quad \text{for all ...

Prove $\int_{\mathbb R^N \setminus \Omega} |x - z|^{-N-s} dz \approx dist(x,\partial \Omega)^{-s}$, $s \in (0,2)$
Let $\Omega \subset \mathbb R^N$ and $s \in (0,2)$. Under what assumptions on $\partial \Omega$ do we have
$$\int_{\mathbb R^N \setminus \Omega} |x - z|^{-N-s} dz \approx \mathrm{dist}(x,\partial \...

Equivalence of statements about level sets: $u|_{S \times [\tau, \infty)}$ depends only on $t$ $\iff$ $u(t,x) = \mu^{\tau}(t,u(\tau,x))$
Let $u:\mathbb R_+ \times \Omega \subset \mathbb R^N \to \mathbb R$ (sufficiently smooth). Are the following statements are equivalent?
For every $\tau >0$ and level surface $S$ of $u(\tau,\cdot)$,...

Unique solution of a 1-D ODE with a bounded positive right-hand-side
Consider the initial value problem $$\dot x(t) = F(t,x), \quad t \in (0,T)$$ with given initial datum $$x(0) = x_0 \in \mathbb R.$$ More precisely we consider the integral equation $$x(t)=x(0)+\int_0^...

Example of BV vector field $c$ without bounded divergence such that $u$ is bounded where $u_t + div(cu) = 0$
What is an example of vector field $c: \mathbb R_+ \times \mathbb R^N \to \mathbb R^N$ with $c \in L^1(\mathbb{R}_+, BV(\mathbb R^N))$ without bounded divergence $div_x c$ but such that there exists a ...

Log-concavity of function
Consider the function
$$f_{n}(x)=e^{-x^2}x^n.$$
My goal is to show that
$$ G(y):=\frac{(f_2*f_0)(y)}{(f_0*f_0)(y)}- \left(\frac{(f_1*f_0)(y) }{(f_0*f_0)(y)}\right)^2$$
is log-concave.
Let us ...

Role of absolute continuity of divergence of BV function in proof of renormalization property
In the paper http://cvgmt.sns.it/paper/436/, the author proves the renormalization property for the flow generated by a vector field $a(t,\cdot) \in BV(\mathbb{R}^N; \mathbb{R}^N)$.
Heuristically, ...

Uniform equicontinuity of a family of indefinite integrals
Let $f_k$ be a sequence of measurable functions on $\mathbb{R}^k$ where $k > 1$. (Let us be generous and also assume that $f_k$ is locally integrable.) Does anyone know what the phrase

Functionals continuous with respect to weak convergence
It's well known that a functional of the form $u \mapsto \int f(u) dx$ is continuous with respect to weak convergence (say weak* convergence in $L^\infty$) if and only if the function $f$ is affine. ...
