In this paper we develop a systematic calculus for the Duistermaat index, a symplectic invariant defined for triples of Lagrangian subspaces. Introduced nearly half a century ago, this index has lately been the subject of renewed attention,…
We consider a {\em Hamiltonian setup} $\sextuple$, where $(\mathcal M,\omega)$ is a symplectic manifold, $\mathfrak L$ is a distribution of Lagrangian subspaces in $\mathcal M$, $\mathcal P$ a Lagrangian submanifold of $ \mathcal M$, $H$ is…
We consider a sequence of Dirichlet problems in varying domains (or, more generally, of relaxed Dirichlet problems involving measures in M_0) for second order linear elliptic operators in divergence form with varying matrices of…
The paper studies properties of acoustic operators in bounded Lipschitz domains $\Omega$ with m-dissipative generalized impedance boundary conditions. We prove that such acoustic operators have a compact resolvent if and only if the…
We are interested in the following Dirichlet problem $$ \left\{ \begin{array}{ll} -\Delta u + \lambda u - \mu \frac{u}{|x|^2} - \nu \frac{u}{\mathrm{dist}\,(x,\mathbb{R}^N \setminus \Omega)^2} = f(x,u) & \quad \mbox{in } \Omega \\ u = 0 &…
We consider divergence form operators with complex coefficients on an open subset of Euclidean space. Boundary conditions in the corresponding parabolic problem are dynamical, that is, the time derivative appears on the boundary. As a…
We generalize Roe's index theorem for graded generalized Dirac operators on amenable manifolds to multigraded elliptic uniform pseudodifferential operators. The generalization will follow from a local index theorem that is valid on any…
In this paper, we study the semilinear subelliptic equation \[ \left\{ \begin{array}{cc} -\triangle_{X} u=f(x,u)+g(x,u) & \mbox{in}~\Omega, \\[2mm] u=0\hfill & \mbox{on}~\partial\Omega, \end{array} \right. \] where…
We investigate properties of function spaces induced by the inner product Sobolev spaces $H^{s}(\Omega)$ over a bounded Euclidean domain $\Omega$ and by an elliptic differential operator $A$ on $\overline{\Omega}$. The domain and the…
We consider the eigenvalues of an elliptic operator for systems with bounded, measurable, and symmetric coefficients. We assume we have two non-empty, open, disjoint, and bounded sets and add a set of small measure to form the perturbed…
We develop a new approach to the $L^p$ Dirichlet problem via $L^2$ estimates and reverse Holder inequalities. We apply this approach to second order elliptic systems and the polyharmonic equation on a bounded Lipschitz domain $\Omega$ in…
We give an exposition of the Morse Index Theorem in the Riemannian case in terms of the Maslov index, following and expanding upon Arnold's seminal paper. We emphasize the symplectic arguments in the proof and aim to be as self-contained as…
We discuss stability of square root domains for uniformly elliptic partial differential operators $L_{a,\Omega,\Gamma} = -\nabla\cdot a \nabla$ in $L^2(\Omega)$, with mixed boundary conditions on $\partial \Omega$, with respect to additive…
We extend the method of layer potentials to manifolds with boundary and cylindrical ends. To obtain this extension along the classical lines, we have to deal with several technical difficulties due to the non-compactness of the boundary,…
In this article, we study a model problem featuring a L\'evy process in a domain with semi-transparent boundary by considering the following perturbed fractional Laplacian operator \[\mathscr{L}_{b,q} := (-\Delta)^t +…
The linear PDE ${\mathbf B} {\mathbf L} (\frac{\partial}{\partial x}) u ={\mathbf L}_1(\frac{\partial}{\partial x})u +f(x)$ with nonclassic conditions on boundary $\partial \Omega$ is considered. Here ${\mathbf B}$ is linear noninvertible…
In this article we consider the Dirichlet problem on a bounded domain $\Omega \subset {\bf R}^d$ with respect to a second-order elliptic differential operator in divergence form. We do not assume a divergence condition as in the pioneering…
We will first establish an index theory for linear self-adjoint operator equations. And then with the help of this index theory we will discuss existence and multiplicity of solutions for asymptotically linear operator equations by making…
The Laplace-Beltrami operator on (the surface of) a triaxial ellipsoid admits a sequence of real eigenvalues diverging to plus infinity. By introducing ellipsoidal coordinates, this eigenvalue problem for a partial differential operator is…
For a second order differential operator $A(\msx) =-\nabla a(\msx)\nabla + b'(\msx)\nabla+ \nabla \big(\msb''(\msx) \cdot\big)$ on a bounded domain $D$ with the Dirichlet boundary conditions on $\partial D$ there exists the inverse…
