Lemma from Donnelly-Fefferman's paper

$\newcommand{\al}{\alpha} \newcommand{\G}{\mathcal{G}} \newcommand{\PP}{\mathcal{P}}$ You are missing condition (ii) in formula (5.9) in that paper. That formula is \begin{equation} \begin{aligned} & …

An inequality involving weight $|x|^\alpha$

For your question (or statement) about a particular piece of a paper to be more effective, you should refer, not just to the paper, but to that particular piece of it. It appears that the piece in que …

An estimate of the integral of the higher order derivative of a bump function

$\newcommand{\R}{\mathbb R}\newcommand{\ep}{\varepsilon}\newcommand{\na}{\nabla}$Note that \begin{equation} (\na^n\rho_\ep)(x)=\ep^{-d-n}(\na^n\rho)(\ep^{-1}x). \end{equation} So, \begin{equation …

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} …

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 …

How to show continuity and monotonicity of solutions to this parametrized equation?

With $r:=p/2\in[1/2,1)$ and $y:=1-\sqrt s\in[0,1/2)$, rewrite your equation (1) as $$G(r,y):=2^r y^{2 r-1} (r+y-r y)-1=0. \tag{2}$$ For any $r\in(1/2,1)$, $G(r,0)=-1\ne0$, so that $y=0$ is not a solut …

Bounded weak derivative

$\newcommand{\R}{\mathbb{R}} \newcommand{\al}{\alpha}$ This is a partial answer: Assuming additionally that $D^\al f$ exists in $C(\R^n)$ for $|\al|=1$, let us show that $D^\al f$ is bounded. Indeed, …

Estimating singular double integral

$\newcommand\de\delta\newcommand\De\Delta$Let $a:=\alpha\in(0,2)$ and $w:=uv$. Then all we can get from your conditions on $u,v$ is that $w\in L^2$. The integral in question is $$I:=\int_{B_\de(1/2)}d …

Extremizers of the Sobolev inequality

Take any extremizer $u$ as in the paper you linked. From the conditions $u(r)=r^{1-m/2}v(r)$, $u(r)=o(r^{1-m/2})$, and $u'(r)=o(r^{-m/2})$ (as $r\to\infty$), we deduce $v(r)=r^{m/2-1}u(r)$, $v(r)=o(1) …

Convergence of a level set when $f^n\to f$ in $C^1$ sense

$\newcommand\de\delta$Apparently, (i) by $\epsilon\to0$ you meant $n\to\infty$ and (ii) by "$f^n\to f$ in $C^1$ sense" you meant that $$\sup_x|f^n(x)-f(x)|+\sup_x|\nabla f^n(x)-\nabla f(x)|\to0. \tag{ …

Forcing the uniqueness of a solution of an ODE

$\newcommand\ep\varepsilon$First, the conditions that $f_n\in\mathcal{C}^1([0,1],\mathbb{R})$ and $f_n(x)\ge\sqrt{x}$ for $x\in[0,1]$ imply $f_n(0)>0$. Since \begin{equation*} \begin{cases} y_n(0) …
