Solutions and asymptotics of the ODE $ f''=f^{-\alpha} $

$\newcommand\al\alpha\newcommand\de\delta\newcommand\R{\Bbb R}\newcommand\B{\mathrm B}$It follows from the ODE $$f''=f^{-\al} \tag{1}\label{10} $$ and the condition $f>0$ that $f$ is (strictly) convex …

Domains of type (A) are Lipschitz?

$\newcommand\Om\Omega\newcommand\th\theta\newcommand\p\partial$After the previous answer was given, the OP changed "Lipschitz connected" to "uniform Lipschitz". If the latter is understood in the sens …

Domains of type (A) are Lipschitz?

A counterexample: $n=2$, $$\Omega=B^-_{(0,0)}(2)\cup B^+_{(1,0)}(1)\cup B^+_{(-1,0)}(1),$$ where $B^\pm_C(r):=B_C(r)\cap\Pi^\pm$, $B_C(r)$ is the open ball of radius $r$ centered at $C$, and $\Pi^\pm: …

Intriguing simple question about Sobolev space $W^{1,p}(\Omega)$

Another way to do this (again assuming that $\Omega$ is open and connected): $$\nabla\frac{w_1}{w_2}=\frac{w_1\nabla w_2-w_2\nabla w_1}{w_2^2} =\frac{w_1}{w_2}\Big(\frac{\nabla w_2}{w_2}-\frac{\nabla …

Intriguing simple question about Sobolev space $W^{1,p}(\Omega)$

Assume that $\Omega$ is open and connected (if $\Omega$ is not connected, then the desired conclusion is clearly false). By convolution with a mollifier and approximation, we may assume that $w_1$ and …

Solving $X$ for prescribed $\operatorname{div}(X)$ of compact support

This is impossible in general. Indeed, if $X$ has a compact support, then the flux of $X$ through a large enough sphere is $0$, whereas the integral of $f$ over the corresponding ball (say $B$) will n …

$\newcommand{\R}{\mathbb R}\newcommand{\Z}{\mathbb Z}\newcommand{\de}{\delta}\newcommand{\al}{\alpha}$The answer is no. In fact, $I_t$ does not have to be small even for small $t>0$. Indeed, take any …

Nontrivial invariant transformations for heat equations

At least when $n=1$, there are no nontrivial transformations of this kind. Indeed, suppose that $v(t,x)=u(\tau(t,x),\xi(t,x))$, where $u_t=u_{xx}$. Then $u_{tx}=u_{xxx}$ and $u_{tt}=u_{xxxx}$, so that …

Singular integral bounded by Dirichlet form?

$\newcommand{\Om}{\Omega}$The answer is no. Indeed, by rescaling, without loss of generality $L=1$. Suppose that \begin{equation} f(x_1,x_2)=g_a(x_1-x_2) \end{equation} for $(x_1,x_2)\in\Om$, where $ …

Estimative for Hessian of Heat Kernel in $\mathbb{R}^d$

We have $$\nabla^2 g(t,x)=g(t,x)\Big(\frac{xx^\top}{(2t)^2}-\frac{I_d}{2t}\Big),$$ where $I_d\in\mathbb R^{d\times d}$ is the identity matrix and $\mathbb R^d$ is identified with $\mathbb R^{d\times1} …

Does this dyadic sum converge?

$\newcommand\ep\epsilon\newcommand\Ga\Gamma\newcommand\Z{\mathbb Z}$The answer is yes. Indeed, let $b:=d/p$, so that $1>a>b>0$. For real $\ep>0$, let $$K(\ep):=\int_0^\infty e^{-\ep s}\frac{s^a}{1+s^{ …

Asymptotic behavior of a certain oscillatory integral

We can evaluate $I(x)$ explicitly, and then asymptotically. Indeed, using the substitution $s=ru/x$, we get \begin{equation*} I(x)=\frac1{\sqrt x}\lim_{R\to\infty}J_R(x), \tag{1}\label{1} \end{equ …

Are there $f,h$ such that $h$ is Lipschitz, $\int_0^t f(s)\,\mathrm d s<\infty$ and $|\parti...

This is impossible for any positive function $h$. Indeed, for $|x|=\sqrt t$, the inequality $|\partial_t g| (t, x) \le f(t)g(h(t), x)$ implies $$f(t)\ge\frac Ct\,u^{-d/2}e^{cu}\ge\frac Bt$$ for all re …
