Dirichlet problem for mean curvature equation

In $\mathbb{R}^3$, the Plateau problem for constant mean curvature surfaces was solved in Hildebrandt, S., On the Plateau problem for surfaces of constant mean curvature, Commun. Pure Appl. Math. 23, …

Huygens' principle or finite speed of propagation?

Two points: 1. In the wave equations community (in contrast to the community for more general hyperbolic systems) it is rather common to sloppily interchange "Huygen's Principle" with "finite speed of …

Tangential Sobolev spaces

The assumption that $\Omega$ is bounded is in fact required. (So your attempt is the correct proof, once you fix the omission in the statement.) Counterexample: let $\Omega$ be the upper half plane. L …

Do we have Pohozaev's identity on compact manifolds without boundary?

To answer this question, it is better to understand Pohozaev's identity using the heuristic argument given in Berestycki, Henri; Lions, Pierre-Louis, Nonlinear scalar field equations. I: Existence of …

Spatially localised solution to the Schrödinger equation with potential is a combination of ...

The statement Terry alluded to is a consequence of the RAGE Theorem. For a statement and proof of the (abstract) RAGE Theorem, see Section 5.2 of the 2nd edition of Teschl's Mathematical Methods in Qu …

Quasilinear wave equations without (weak) null conditions and conjectures

What you've found is basically "survivor bias", so it helps for me to describe a bit where the null conditions came about. Assertion 1: Quasilinear partial differential equations, in general, are too …

A question on the proof of unique continuation for the case $u\in H^{2}$ in Le Rousseau, Leb...

I think one can answer your question (specifically the bold parts of your text) without having any knowledge of the precise argument of Lebeau; if you find the answer lacking, please let me know and a …

Does $i\partial_tu = \Delta^2 u$ exhibit more or less dispersion than $i\partial_t u= \Delta...

Let me address this comment. Let $\phi \in C^\infty_c(\mathbb{R})$, then the function $$ u(t,x) = \int_{\mathbb{R}} \exp(-i\xi^4 t + ix\xi) \phi(\xi) ~\mathrm{d}\xi$$ solve the first equation with ini …

Does local gradient collinearity imply factorization

By continuity we may assume near $(0,0)$ neither $\nabla f$ and $\nabla g$ vanish. Let $u = \nabla f(0,0)$, extended as a constant vector field on $\mathbb{R}^2$. Let $v$ be a non-vanishing vector fie …

Definitions of weak solutions for quasilinear wave equations

For simplicity I'll assume $u$ is scalar valued, but I am pretty sure the discussion also works for $u$ that is a section of some vector bundle over $M$ (if the wave operator is quasidiagonal). Additi …

An expansion for 2d Euler equation

Let's consider the simplified equation (which is really WLOG, since you are just absorbing constants) $$ x \sqrt{-\ln x} = y $$ for $x,y > 0$ and $x,y \ll 1$. (Here $x$ is playing the role of $s_\epsi …

Uniqueness of constructed solutions to the Helmholtz equation

Does the Poincaré inequality hold on annular domains?

I will prove the stronger result without the subtraction of $\bar{f}$. As we know $\int |f|^2 = \int |f - \bar{f}|^2 + \int |\bar{f}|^2$, the result without subtracting $\bar{f}$ would imply what you …

A simple bilinear estimate

Since $f$ is only defined for $x\in [0,1]$ and I can perform a change of variables to get $y \mapsto 1-y$, I think you are asking about the inequality $$ \int_{[0,1]\times [0,\delta]} \frac{f(x)g(y)}{ …

A Inequality in the paper by Kenig, Ponce and Vega

The inequality you cited is sometimes called a "fractional Leibniz rule", and is related to the Coiffman-Meyer theorem. An extension to all $\alpha \geq 0$ is available in Fujiwara, Kazumasa; Georgiev …
