Vacuum region with positive measure for the Schrödinger equation

The purpose of this answer is to extend Christian Remling's answer to dimension $d = 3$. There are two steps. (N.B. below the cut I show how to replace part 1 by a different argument that works in all …

Does "solutions of an $n$-th order ODE form an $n$-dimensional vector space" somehow general...

In many ways the natural generalization of ODEs are hyperbolic PDEs (in that they admit wellposed initial value problems). What you have here is one of those ways. Roughly speaking for a linear hyperb …

hodographic transformation

Forget about $x,t$. Consider a $C^1$ mapping $\phi:(\zeta,\eta)\mapsto (u,v)$. Locally if $|d\phi|\neq 0$ we can invert it. Let the inverse be $\psi: (u,v)\mapsto (\zeta,\eta)$, so $\psi\circ\phi(\zet …

Functions orthogonal to harmonic functions

Assume without loss of generality that $0\in \Omega$. Let $f_1, f_2$ be radial, with support contained in $\Omega$. By the mean value property of harmonic functions, you have $$ \int f_2 \varphi …

Space of holomorphic functions multiplied by smooth functions taking real values

First, if $fg$ were holomorphic and nontrivial, then $\{g = 0\}$ has to be discrete. This implies that $g$ has to be either $\geq 0$ or $\leq 0$. So we can assume WLOG $g \geq 0$. Restricting away f …

The only rotation fields satisfying this PDE are constant

NB: Evidently I used a different convention on divergence. In terms of matrix components my convention is $(\mathrm{div} M)_j = \sum_{i = 1}^2 \partial_{x^i} M_{ij}$. If your convention is $\sum_{i = …

Generalized Fuchsian-type PDE

Here's one way to get the hypergeometric function for the "simpler" equation: Consider the operator $x^3 (1 + t\partial_t)(\partial^3_{xxx} + \frac{6}x \partial^2_{xx} + \frac{6}{x^2} \partial_x)$, we …

About the polynomial characterization of $C^{1,\alpha}(\bar{\Omega})$ Hölder space in Lipsch...

Firstly, your definition of pointwise $C^{1,\alpha}$ is strictly speaking "incorrect" in that it doesn't give the desired conclusion. My interpretation of what you wrote is, with all the quantifiers i …
