Sobolev spaces are smooth? Their dual is strictly convex?

Do you know any reference which says something about the: Smoothness of the Sobolev space $W^{1,p}(\Omega)$ i.e. if the duality mapping $J\colon W^{1,p}(\Omega)\to W^{1,p}(\Omega)^*$ is a singleton. …

Question about Bochner measurability

When I study parabolic pde's I often came across the following type of Bochner spaces $L^p([a,b];L^{q}(\Omega),\ W^{1,p}([a,b];L^{q}(\Omega))$ and $L^{q}([a,b];W^{1,p}(\Omega))$ where $p,q\geq 1$ and …

Reaction-diffusion systems treated as dynamical systems

I wonder if there is a good reference on reaction-diffusion systems on $\mathbb{R}^N$, that treats them as dynamical systems. I have the books of Alain Haraux – Systèmes dynamiques dissipatifs et appl …

The logistic elliptic equation

Studying the Fisher-KPP evolution equation I came across the steady state elliptic problem which can be written in the following form: $$ \begin{cases} -d\Delta Y(x)=r(x)Y(x)\left (1-\dfrac{Y(x)}{K(x) …

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

Let $w_1,w_2\in W^{1,p}(\Omega)$ be two functions with $w_1,w_2>0$ and $\dfrac{w_2}{w_1},\dfrac{w_1}{w_2}\in L^{\infty}(\Omega)$, where $\Omega\subset\mathbb{R}^N$ is a bounded domain (i.e. open and c …

Are Neumann Laplacian eigenfunctions in $C(\overline{\Omega})$?

Consider that $u\in H^1(\Omega)$ with $\Delta u\in L^2(\Omega)$ (in the distributional sense) such that for some $\lambda>0$ we have that: $$\begin{cases} \Delta u(x)=\lambda u(x), & x\in\Omega\\ \dfr …

A question about Gauss-Green formula - a weaker assumption

The question I have in mind is the following: how can we prove that for any $v\in H^1(\Omega)$ and for any $u\in H^1(\Omega)$ with $\Delta u\in L^2(\Omega)$ the Gauss-Green identity takes place $$\int …

Any solution of an evolution problem tends to a steady state in $L^2$?

I have a general question. Suppose that we have the following simple evolution problem $\begin{cases} \dfrac{\partial u}{\partial t}-\Delta u=f(u), & (t,x)\in (0,\infty)\times\Omega\\ \dfrac{\partial …

What types of semigroups have a Laplacean type operator as infinitesimal generator?

Let $\Omega\subseteq\mathbb{R}^N$ be an open, bounded connected set having Lipschitz uniform boundary. Moreover let $d\in L^{\infty}(\Omega,\mathbb{R}^M),\ d_1(x),d_2(x),\dots, d_M(x)>d>0,\ \forall\ x …

Nonlocal elliptic problem - what is its associated energy?

It is well known that for any smooth domain $\Omega\subset\mathbb{R}^N$ the energy functional (the one for which the Euler-Lagrange equation is our b.v.p.) associated to the following local problem: $ …

"Arc" length parametrization for surfaces

If we have a function $\phi:\Omega\subseteq\mathbb{R}^2\to\mathbb{R}$, $\phi\in C^2(\Omega)$ is there a way to find a function $d:\Omega\to\mathbb{R}, d\in C^2(\Omega)$ so that: $|\nabla d(x,y)|=1,\ \ …
