Completion of $C_0^{\infty}(\mathbb{R}^N)$ with norm $\|u\|= \Bigg(\int_{{\mathbb{R}}^N} |\D...

"The" completion is not always a space of functions, for $N=1$ or $2$ for example it is a quotient $D^{-2}L^2/P_1$ (equivalence classes of functions $u\in H^2_{loc}$ with $\partial_i \partial_j u\in L …

Continuous right inverse to the Laplacian operator on $C^\infty$

For each $f\in C^\infty(\mathbb R^n)$, there exists $u\in C^\infty(\mathbb R^n)$ such that $\Delta u=f$. This, I guess, has been known well before the more general Malgrange-Ehrenpreis theorem that sa …

Stationary Navier-Stokes solutions

Are there known nontrivial ($u\neq0$) stationary solutions to Navier-Stokes equations in $\mathbb R^3$ ? Not square integrable of course (that's impossible), but with self-similar amplitudes of Fourie …

The Biharmonic Eigenvalue Problem on a Rectangle with Dirichlet Boundary Conditions

At least the existence of eigenvalues and eigenfunctions (question 1) is routine common knowledge. The first one is the minimizer of $\int (\Delta u)^2$ subject to $u\in H^2_0$ and $\int u^2\le1$ (whi …

Obstruction to Navier-Stokes blowup with cylindrical symmetry

Is there a known obstruction to cylindrically symmetric solutions (with swirl) of incompressible 3D Navier-Stokes blowing up in finite time ? EDIT: in the whole space $\mathbb R^3$, I forgot to say. …

Gaussian distribution, maximum entropy and the heat equation

Besides the central limit theorem, there is the connection between diffusion and Wasserstein distance $W_2(p,q)$ (the minimum integral of squared distance from $x$ to $T(x)$ when $T$ maps $p$ to $q$) …

Is it true that for dimension d=3, if $v\in H_0^1(\Omega)$ but $v\notin L_\infty(\Omega)$ th...

If it is true that $\int e^u<\infty$ whenever $u\in W^{1,3}$, for $d=3$, and $W^{1,3}$ is not a subset of $L^\infty$, then, since $W_0^{1,3}\subset H_0^1$, there certainly exist essentially unbounded …

Real analyticity of solution of heat equation

In the case of $\mathbb R^n$, the analyticity-in-time of the solution, with $u_0\in\mathcal S'$ (tempered distributions), stems from that of $e^{-(t+i\tau)|\xi|^2}$ which implies that of $u(t+i\tau,x) …

A $W^{1,2}_{loc}$ function with uniformly bounded integrals on compact subsets $W^{1,2}$?

Yes. There is an increasing sequence of compacts $K_n\subset\Omega$ whose union is $\Omega$, then $\int_{\Omega}(|f|^2+|\nabla f|^2)=\lim_{n\to\infty}\int_{K_n}(|f|^2+|\nabla f|^2)\le C$.

Reformulation of the classical Navier-Stokes equation as a semilinear evolution equation and...

You are right, $(4)$ has to be understood in the special sense that the semigroup $S(t)$ (and the (Leray?) $L^2$-projection operator to $H$, as well) extend to a wider space, that of "distributional d …

An acting condition for a superposition operator from $H^1(\Omega)$ to $H^1(\Omega)$

The obvious sufficient condition for $v\mapsto f(v)$ to map $H^1(\Omega)$ to itself ($\Omega$ bounded) is $f$ globally Lipschitz, i.e. $f'\in L^\infty(\mathbb R)$. Add $f(0)=0$ for general $\Omega$. …

Are Pointwise conditions studied?, do they make sense?, do they have any applications?

Such interpolatory conditions are better treated by solving your PDE $Af=\sum_ic_i\delta_{p_i}$ as distributions in the whole domain, with the $c_i$s to be determined so that $f(p_i)=d_i$. For ellipti …

Vorticity equation for generalized Naiver Stokes equations

Taking the curl of the original equation in $\mathbb R^3$ gives$$\partial_t\omega+\nu(-\Delta)^\alpha\omega+(u\cdot\nabla)\omega-(\omega\cdot\nabla) u=\nabla\times f$$ $$\nabla\times u=\omega$$ $$\nab …

Stationary Navier-Stokes solutions

Smoluchowski-Poisson dynamics with atomic measures

"Smoluchowski-Poisson dynamics" is just a tentative provisional name I give to the following transport equation:$$\partial_t m+\nabla_x\cdot(um)=0$$where $u(x,t)\in\mathbb R^n$ ($x\in\mathbb R^n$, $t\ …
