We study nonlinear pantograph-type reaction-diffusion PDEs, which, in addition to the unknown $u=u(x,t)$, also contain the same functions with dilated or contracted arguments of the form $w=u(px,t)$, $w=u(x,qt)$, and $w=u(px,qt)$, where $p$…
We study the well-posedness of a semilinear fractional diffusion equation and formulate an associated inverse problem. We determine fractional power type nonlinearities from the exterior partial measurements of the Dirichlet-to-Neumann map.…
Through the main example of the Ornstein-Uhlenbeck semigroup, the Bakry-Emery criterion is presented as a main tool to get functional inequalities as Poincar\'e or logarithmic Sobolev inequalities. Moreover an alternative method using the…
In an earlier paper (A. N. Kochubei, {\it Pacif. J. Math.} 269 (2014), 355--369), the author considered a restriction of Vladimirov's fractional differentiation operator $D^\alpha$, $\alpha >0$, to radial functions on a non-Archimedean…
This paper is a follow up to an article by two of the authors dedicated to the study of Poincar\'e and logarithmic Sobolev inequalities for measures of the form $d\mu = e^{-U} d\nu$ where $e^{-U}$ is seen as a perturbation of $d\nu$.…
In the euclidean space, Sobolev and Hardy-Littlewood-Sobolev inequalities can be related by duality. In this paper, we investigate how to relate these inequalities using the flow of a fast diffusion equation in dimension $d\ge3$. The main…
We consider the highly nonlinear and ill-posed inverse problem of determining some general expression $F(x,t,u,\nabla_xu)$ appearing in the diffusion equation $\partial_tu-\Delta_x u+F(x,t,u,\nabla_xu)=0$ on $\Omega\times(0,T)$, with $T>0$…
We give a functional version of the affine isoperimetric inequality for log-concave functions which may be interpreted as an inverse form of a logarithmic Sobolev inequality inequality for entropy. A linearization of this inequality gives…
Following the recent work [13] fulfilled in the discrete case, we pro- vide in this paper new intertwining relations for semigroups of one-dimensional diffusions. Various applications of these results are investigated, among them the famous…
We study nonuniform Sobolev spaces, i.e., spaces of functions whose partial derivatives lie in possibly different Lebesgue spaces. Although standard proofs do not apply, we show that nonuniform Sobolev spaces share similar properties as the…
Using measure-capacity inequalities we study new functional inequalities, namely L^q-Poincar\'{e} inequalities and L^q-logarithmic Sobolev inequalities. As a consequence, we establish the asymptotic behavior of the solutions to the…
The existence of multiple nonnegative solutions to the anisotropic critical problem - \sum_{i=1}^{N} \frac{\partial}{\partial x_i} (| \frac{\partial u}{\partial x_i} |^{p_i-2} \frac{\partial u}{\partial x_i}) = |u|^{p^*-2} u {in}…

We study a class of fourth order nonlinear parabolic equations which include the thin-film equation and the quantum drift-diffusion model as special cases. We investigate these equations by first developing functional inequalities of the…
We study a class of semilinear elliptic equations on spaces of tempered ultradistributions of Beurling and Roumieu type. Assuming that the linear part of the equation is an elliptic pseudodifferential operator of infinite order with a…
Sharp affine fractional $L^p$ Sobolev inequalities for functions on $\mathbb R^n$ are established. The new inequalities are stronger than (and directly imply) the sharp fractional $L^p$ Sobolev inequalities. They are fractional versions of…
In this work, we study the Sobolev inequality on noncommutative Euclidean spaces. As a simple consequence, we obtain the Gagliardo-Nirenberg type inequality and as its application we show global well-posedness of nonlinear PDEs in the…
We consider gradient descent equations for energy functionals of the type S(u) = 1/2 < u(x), A(x)u(x) >_{L^2} + \int_{\Omega} V(x,u) dx, where A is a uniformly elliptic operator of order 2, with smooth coefficients. The gradient descent…
We propose a new method for constructing exact solutions to nonlinear delay reaction--diffusion equations of the form $$ u_t=ku_{xx}+F(u,w), $$ where $u=u(x,t)$, $w=u(x,t-\tau)$, and $\tau$ is the delay time. The method is based on…
We prove an energy inequality for nonlocal diffusion operators of the following type, and some of its generalisations: $Lu (x) := \int_{\mathbb{R}^N} K(x,y) (u(y) - u(x)) dy$, where $L$ acts on a real function $u$ defined on $\mathbb{R}^N$,…
