Explicit computation related to the fractional Laplacian

Suppose $$c_{n,s}\int_{\mathbb R^n}\int_{\mathbb R^n} \frac{(u(x+y+z)-u(x+y)-u(x+z)-u(x))^2}{|y|^{n+2s}|z|^{n+2s}} dydz = C$$ for some constants $c_{n,s}$, $C$, and $s \in (0,1)$. Is it true that $$u =...

Eigenvalues of the Laplacian and min-max formula in any space dimension

In which reference book can I find a proof that the eigenvalue of the Laplace operator in a domain $\Omega \subset \mathbb R^d$ with $d \ge 1$ are given by $$ \lambda_1 = \min_{u \in H^1_0(\Omega), \|...

Help to understand a limit $\varepsilon\rightarrow 0$ computation on a fluid mechanic paper

In Córdoba and Gancedo - Contour dynamics of incompressible 3-D fluids in a porous medium with different densities (page 4) I read that if $$ v (x_1,x_2,x_3,t)=-\frac{\rho_2-\rho_1}{4\pi} \...

Could the convex hull of $\operatorname{Lip}_1(\mathbb R)$ be dense in $\operatorname{Lip}_1(\mathbb R^d)$?

$\DeclareMathOperator\Lip{Lip}$My problem is slightly different from the title, but I don't have a more straightforward title. Sorry for that. For $d\ge 1$, denote $\mathbb S^{d-1}:=\{x\in\mathbb R^...

Smooth compactly supported function with good scaling with respect to the fractional Laplacian

Is there a smooth cut off function with compact support such that $\phi: \Omega \subset \mathbb R^N \to \mathbb R$, $\mathrm{supp} \phi \subset B_R(0) \subset \Omega$ and $$(-\Delta)^s \phi \le C R^{-...

Energy-minimizing set of discrete points in a bounded domain

Let $\Omega \subset \mathbb{R}^3$ be a smooth, bounded domain. Let $x_1,\ldots,x_n \in \overline{\Omega}$ be chosen so as to minimize $$ \sum_{1\leq i<j\leq n} \frac{1}{|y_i - y_j|} $$ over all ...

Existence of a solution for the Laplace equation with sub-linear non-linearity

At first, I do apologize if my question is silly. I know that by variational methods it is possible to prove the existence of a solution for $$ \begin{cases} -\Delta u = u^p & \Omega \subset \...

Harnack Inequality for uniformly elliptic PDE via constructing a singularity

I am trying to prove a Harnack inequality for a nonnegative subsolution $u \in H^1(B_2)$ to the PDE $\text{div}(A Du) \ge 0$, where $A = A(x)$ is uniformly elliptic. The proof outline I am following ...

Conditions for the embedding of the space $L^\infty(I, W^{1,2}(U))$ into $L^\infty(I \times U)$

Let $I$ be a compact interval of $\mathbb{R}$ and $U$ be a bounded subset of $\mathbb{R}^2$. If $f \in L^\infty(I, W^{1,2}(U))$, what (non-trivial) condition ($L^p$-estimate on $f$ or decay-like ...

Adjoint of differential equation

Motivation: Consider the ODE $$y'(t)=Ay(t)$$ then it is true that the flow satisfies $\Phi(t)y_0=e^{tA}y_0$ and the adjoint of the flow is a solution to the adjoint equation $$y'(t)=A^*y(t).$$ I ...

Invertible operator

We consider the operator $$T=I + {{{\partial ^2}} \over {\partial {x^2}}}:{H^2}(0,L) \cap H_0^1(0,L) \to {L^2}(0,L)$$ We hope to prove that $T$ is invertible if and only if $L = n\pi $. and for this ...

Derivatives of Mollified functions

I'm reading Controlled Diffusion Process by N.V. Krylov. On page 87-88, in the proof of theorem II.6.1, it says the following: Let $\sigma(t,x)$ be a matrix of dimension $d\times d$, and let $b(t,x)$ ...

Is this has anything to do with Riesz representation?

The Riesz representation is very useful in study BV space. There is a lot of version of it and one of the good one can be found in this book, page 49. Here I come up with a question which has similar ...
