Let $\Omega$ be a connected open subset of $\Ri^d$. We analyze $L_1$-uniqueness of real second-order partial differential operators $H=-\sum^d_{k,l=1}\partial_k\,c_{kl}\,\partial_l$ and $K=H+\sum^d_{k=1}c_k\,\partial_k+c_0$ on $\Omega$…
It is known that the momentum operator canonically conjugated to the position operator for a particle moving in some bounded interval of the line {(with Dirichlet boundary conditions) is not essentially self-adjoint}: it has a continuous…
We present a simple and self-contained approach to establish the unique continuation property for some classical evolution equations of second order in a cylindrical domain. We namely discuss this property for wave, parabolic and…
We consider the homogenization of a singularly perturbed self-adjoint fourth order elliptic equation with locally periodic coefficients, stated in a bounded domain. We impose Dirichlet boundary conditions on the boundary of the domain. The…

We study the Dirichlet problem on a bounded convex domain of $\mathbb R^N$, with zero boundary data, for truncated Laplacians ${\mathcal P}_k^\pm$, with $k<N$. We establish a necessary and sufficient condition (Theorem 1) in terms of the…
Consider a bounded strongly pseudo-convex domain $\Omega $ with a smooth boundary in $\mathbb{C}^n$. Let $\mathcal{T}$ be the Toeplitz algebra on the Bergman space $L^2_a(\Omega )$. That is, $\mathcal{T}$ is the $C^\ast $-algebra generated…
Lie symmetries for ordinary differential equations are studied. In systems of ordinary differential equations, there do not always exist non-trivial Lie symmetries around equilibrium points. We present a necessary condition for existence of…
On a bounded Lipschitz domain we consider two selfadjoint operator realizations of the same second order elliptic differential expression subject to Robin boundary conditions, where the coefficients in the boundary conditions are functions.…
We prove first-order convergence of semi-discrete monotone finite difference schemes for Hamilton--Jacobi equations on the Wasserstein space over a finite graph. A central challenge is the boundary degeneracy of the Wasserstein simplex,…
We are dealing with possibly degenerate second-order parabolic operators whose coefficients are infinitely differentiable with respect to space variables and only measurable with respect to the time variable. We impose the H\"ormander…
For a linear, strictly elliptic second order differential operator in divergence form with bounded, measurable coefficients on a Lipschitz domain $\Omega$ we show that solutions of the corresponding elliptic problem with Robin and thus in…
We consider $d>4$-dimensional space-times which are asymptotically flat at spatial infinity and show that, in the first order framework, the action principle is well-defined \emph{without the need of infinite counter terms.} It naturally…
Observables in quantum mechanics are represented by self-adjoint operators on Hilbert space. Such ubiquitous, well-known, and very foundational fact, however, is traditionally subtle to be explained in typical first classes in quantum…
In this work we present a Lyapunov inequality for linear and quasilinear elliptic differential operators in $N-$dimensional domains $\Omega$. We also consider singular and degenerate elliptic problems with $A_p$ coefficients involving the…
We construct a parametrix of a resolvent of elliptic differential operators acting on half-densities on manifolds with ends. The construction is carried out by introducing suitable pseudodifferential operators compatible with the end…
Considerable attention has been recently focused on quantum-mechanical systems with boundaries and/or singular potentials for which the construction of physical observables as self-adjoint (s.a.) operators is a nontrivial problem. We…
We examine the equation \[\Delta^2 u = \lambda f(u) \qquad \Omega, \] with either Navier or Dirichlet boundary conditions. We show some uniqueness results under certain constraints on the parameter $ \lambda$. We obtain similar results for…
We develop a general technique for finding self-adjoint extensions of a symmetric operator that respect a given set of its symmetries. Problems of this type naturally arise when considering two- and three-dimensional Schr\"odinger operators…
In this note we investigate complete non-selfadjointness for all maximally dissipative extensions of a Schr\"odinger operator on a half-line with dissipative bounded potential and dissipative boundary condition. We show that all maximally…
