Implicit function theorem at a singular point?

Let $F:\mathbb{R}^2 \rightarrow \mathbb{R}$ be three times continuously differentiable in some open neighborhood $\mathcal{U}$ of $(0,0)$. Suppose that $F(0,0) = F_x(0,0) = F_y(0,0) = F_{xy}(0,0) = 0$ ...

How to solve the following ODE with a parameter?

I am considering the following ODE \begin{equation} \begin{split} &\frac{d^2}{dy^2}u + \frac{\alpha}{(1+y^2)^{\frac{r}{2}}}u = \delta(y)\\ &\lim_{|y|\to \infty}u(y) = 0. \end{split} \end{...

Can we approximate a vector field on the plane with non-vanishing vector fields in $W^{1,2}$?

Let $V$ be a compactly-supported vector field on $\mathbb{R}^2$, whose zeros inside some open neighbourhood of the closed unit disk $\mathbb{D}^2$ are isolated. Does there exist a sequence of ...

Approximate a one-form on the disk with nowhere vanishing one-forms satisfying an asymptotic vanishing of some derivatives

Let $\mathbb{D}^2$ be the closed two-dimensional unit disk, and let $g:\mathbb{D}^2 \to \mathbb{R}$ be a non-constant harmonic function (smooth up to the boundary). Does there exist a sequence of ...

A strong form of implicit function theorem (what happens when the derivative is degenerate?)

(this can be considered as some ad) Consider the system of equations $F(x,y)=0$. (Here $x$, $y$ are multi-variables. The equations are over a local ring. e.g. polynomial/analytic/formal/$C^\infty$ ...

What does the Jacobian of a vector field at an equilibrium tell you about local behavior of integral curves when the Jacobian is not a stable?

I have a soft question regarding the Jacobian of vector fields and isolated equilibria, and what they imply about local behavior of nearby integral curves near. Let $V:U \subset_{open} \mathbb{R}^n \...

Closure of singular points

Let $f(x,y)$ be a complex degree $d$ polynomial that has this particular form. $$ f = \frac{f_{02}}{2} y^2 + \frac{f_{21}}{2} x^2 y + \frac{f_{12}}{2} x y^2 + \frac{f_{03}}{6} y^3 + \frac{f_{40}}{...

A convolution type singular integral operator with log

Define a convolution type operator $T_m$ by $$T_m(f) = p.v.\int_\mathbb{R}f(x-y)\frac{\log^m|y|}{y}dy.$$ Here $m\ge0$ is an integer. Consider $f \in H^s (s > 0)$ which is the usual Sobolev space. ...

Making a continuous function into embedding by adding additional dimension

While doing my researches, I encountered the following problem. Let $f:[0,1]^n\rightarrow \mathbb{R}^{n+k}$ be an arbitrary continuous function. I want to make this function an embedding by perturbing ...

Approximate a one-form with nowhere vanishing one-forms having bounded Laplacians

This is a follow-up question of this one. Let $\mathbb{D}^2$ be the closed two-dimensional unit disk (endowed with some smooth Riemannian metric), and let $\sigma \in \Omega^1(\mathbb{D}^2)$ be a ...

Removability of the isolated singularity of real analytic mappings with nondegenerate Jacobian

Let $B^n=\{x\in \mathbf{R}^n: |x|<1\}$$(n>2)$. Consider real analytic mappings $f_1:B^n\setminus \{0\}\to B^n$, $f_2:B^n\setminus \{0\}\to \mathbf{R}^n$ and $f_3: B^n\setminus \{0\}\to S^n$ ...

Is the normalized derivative of a holomorphic function Sobolev?

This question is a cross-post from MSE. it is also a special case of this question. Let $B=\{z\in \mathbb C \,|\,|z|\le 1\}$, and let $f:B \to \mathbb{C}$ be holomorphic on the interior $B^o$, and ...
