We consider a rather general class of evolutionary PDEs involving dissipation (of possibly fractional order), which competes with quadratic nonlinearities on the regularity of the overall equation. This includes as prototype models,…
We study the large time behavior of solutions near a constant equilibrium to the compressible Euler-Maxwell system in $\r3$. We first refine a global existence theorem by assuming that the $H^3$ norm of the initial data is small, but the…
Inspired by Morrey's Problem (on rank-one convex functionals) and the Burkholder integrals (of his martingale theory) we find that the Burkholder functionals $B_p$, $p \ge 2$, are quasiconcave, when tested on deformations of identity $f\in…
We investigate a class of sharp Fourier extension inequalities on the planar curves $s=|y|^p$, $p>1$. We identify the mechanism responsible for the possible loss of compactness of nonnegative extremizing sequences, and prove that…
We consider the problem of attainability of the best constant in the following critical fractional Hardy-Sobolev inequality: \begin{equation*} \mu_{\gamma,s}(\R^n):= \inf\limits_{u \in H^{\frac{\alpha}{2}} (\R^n)\setminus \{0\}} \frac{…
We consider $(M,g)$ a smooth compact Riemannian manifold of dimension $n \geq 2$ without boundary, $1 < p$ a real parameter and $r = \frac{p(n + p)}{n}$. This paper concerns the validity of the optimal Moser inequality \[ \left(\int_M…
We consider the equation \[ -\Delta u = |x|^{\alpha} |u|^{p-1}u, \ \ x \in B, \ \ u=0 \quad \text{on} \ \ \partial B, \] where $B \subset {\mathbb R}^2$ is the unit ball centered at the origin, $\alpha \geq0$, $p>1$, and we prove some…
We prove the existence of an extremal function in the Hardy-Littlewood-Sobolev inequality for the energy associated to an stable operator. To this aim we obtain a concentration-compactness principle for stable processes in $\mathbb{R}^N$.
Under appropriate assumptions the energy of wave equations with damping and variable coefficients $c(x)u_{tt}-\hbox{div}(b(x)\nabla u)+a(x)u_t =h(x)$ has been shown to decay. Determining the rate of decay for the higher order energies…
We give a short linear--algebraic proof of the inequality \[ \|x\|_1\,\|x\|_\infty \le \frac{1+\sqrt{p}}{2}\,\|x\|_2^2, \] valid for every \(x\in\mathbb{R}^p\). This inequality relates three fundamental norms on finite-dimensional spaces…
On the space of weighted radial Sobolev space, the following generalization of Moser-Trudinger type inequality was established by Calanchi and Ruf in dimension 2 : If $\beta \in [0,1)$ and $w_0(x) = |\log |x||^\beta $ then $$ \sup_{\int_B…
If a pair of functions nearly extremizes Young's convolution inequality for R^d, with all three exponents finite and strictly greater than 1, then each function is close in norm to a Gaussian. The proof relies on the Riesz-Sobolev…
In this article, we establish various facts about extremizers for $L^p$-improving convolution operators $T\colon L^p \rightarrow L^q$ associated with compactly-supported probability measures on either $\mathbb{R}^d$ or $\mathbb{T}^d$ . If…
It is proved that if $T$ is sufficiently large, then uniformly for all positive integers $\ell \leqslant (\log T) / (\log_2 T)$, we have \begin{equation*} \max_{T\leqslant t\leqslant 2T}\left|\zeta^{(\ell)}\Big(1+it\Big)\right| \geqslant…
Let $(M,g)$ be a smooth compact Riemannian manifold of dimension $n \geq 2$. This paper concerns to the validity of the optimal Riemannian $L^1$-Entropy inequality \[ {\bf Ent}_{dv_g}(u) \leq n \log \left(A_{opt} \|D u\|_{BV(M)} +…
Assume that $p\in(1,\infty]$ and $u=P_{h}[\phi]$, where $\phi\in L^{p}(\mathbb{S}^{n-1},\mathbb{R}^{n})$. Then for any $x\in \mathbb{B}^{n}$, we obtain the sharp inequalities $$ |u(x)|\leq…
Lyapunov equations with low-rank right-hand sides often have solutions whose singular values decay rapidly, enabling iterative methods that produce low-rank approximate solutions. All previously known bounds on this decay involve quantities…

We establish a new $W^{1,2\frac{n-1}{n-2}}$ estimate for the extremal solution of $-\Delta u=\lambda f(u)$ in a smooth bounded domain $\Omega$ of $\mathbb{R}^n$, which is convex, for arbitrary positive and increasing nonlinearities $f\in…
As shown in [A1], the lowest constants appearing in the weak type (1,1) inequalities satisfied by the centered Hardy-Littlewood maximal operator associated to certain finite radial measures, grow exponentially fast with the dimension. Here…
