We determine the explicit value of the optimal constant in the trace inequality for functions of bounded variations in the case the domain has a particular class of singularities.
This work addresses the question of uniqueness and regularity of the minimizers of a convex but not strictly convex integral functional with linear growth in a two-dimensional setting. The integrand -- whose precise form derives directly…
In this paper we develop new methods to obtain regularity criteria for the three-dimensional Navier-Stokes equations in terms of dynamically restricted endpoint critical norms: the critical Lebesgue norm in general or the critical weak…
Many physics problems have $J(x)=L(x)E(x)+h(x)$, source $h(x)$, fields $E$,$J$ satisfying differential constraints, symbolized by $E\in\cal E$,$J\in\cal J$ where $\cal E$,$\cal J$ are orthogonal spaces. If $L(x)$ takes values in certain…
We study steady vortex sheet solutions of the Navier-Stokes in the limit of vanishing viscosity at fixed energy flow. We refer to this as the turbulent limit. These steady flows correspond to a minimum of the Euler Hamiltonian as a…
In the conventional adiabatic regularization the vacuum ultraviolet divergences of a quantum field in curved spacetime are removed by subtracting the $k$-mode of the stress tensor to the 4th-order. For a scalar field in de Sitter space, we…
Here we investigate the Cauchy problem for the barotropic Navier-Stokes equations in R^n, in the critical Besov spaces setting. We improve recent results as regards the uniqueness condition: initial velocities in critical Besov spaces with…
We prove a generalization of van der Corput's difference theorem for sequences of vectors in a Hilbert space. This generalization is obtained by establishing a connection between sequences of vectors in the first Hilbert space with a vector…
We study boundary value problems for bounded uniform domains in $\mathbb{R}^n$, $n\geq 2$, with non-Lipschitz (and possibly fractal) boundaries. We prove Poincar\'e inequalities with trace terms and uniform constants for uniform…
The non-commutative theory of the Lebesgue-type decomposition of positive functionals is originated with S. P. Gudder. Although H. Kosaki's counterexample shows that the decomposition is not unique in general, the complete characterization…
This is the text of my lecture (in french) at the Bourbaki Seminar (november 2003) on the proof by Claire Voisin of the Green conjecture for a generic curve. This conjecture predicts the structure of the minimal resolution of the ideal of a…
In this paper we construct a trace operator for homogeneous Sobolev spaces defined on infinite strip-like domains. We identify an intrinsic seminorm on the resulting trace space that makes the trace operator bounded and allows us to…
We introduce a new approach to traces on the principal ideal $\mathcal L_{1,\infty}$ generated by any positive compact operator whose singular value sequence is the harmonic sequence. Distinct from the well-known construction of J.~Dixmier,…
The celebrated geometric control condition of Bardos, Lebeau, and Rauch is necessary and sufficient for wave observability [1,7] and exact controllability. It requires that any point in phase-space be transported by the generalized geodesic…
We provide in this article a new proof of the uniqueness of the flow solution to ordinary differential equations with $BV$ vector-fields that have divergence in $L^\infty$ (or in $L^1$) and that are nearly incompressible (see the text for…
The main goal of this article is to understand the trace properties of nonlocal minimal graphs in~$\R^3$, i.e. nonlocal minimal surfaces with a graphical structure. We establish that at any boundary points at which the trace from inside…
We face the well-posedness of linear transport Cauchy problems $$\begin{cases}\dfrac{\partial u}{\partial t} + b\cdot\nabla u + c\,u = f&(0,T)\times{\mathbb R}^n\\u(0,\cdot)=u_0\in L^\infty&{\mathbb R}^n\end{cases}$$ under borderline…
In this paper, we consider the problem of energy conservation for weak solutions of the inviscid Primitive Equations (PE) in a bounded domain. Based on the work [Bardos et al., Onsager's conjecture with physical boundaries and an…
This work presents a novel approach to describe spectral properties of graphene layers with well defined edges. We microscopically analyze the boundary problem for the continuous Bogoliubov-de Gennes-Dirac (BdGD) equations and derive the…
We consider the Boltzmann equation with external fields in strictly convex domains with diffuse reflection boundary condition. As long as the normal derivative of external fields satisfy some sign condition on the boundary (1.8) we…
