We exhibit an algorithm to solve the following extension problem: Given a finite set $E \subset \mathbb{R}^n$ and a function $f: E \rightarrow \mathbb{R}$, compute an extension $F$ in the Sobolev space $L^{m,p}(\mathbb{R}^n)$, $p>n$, with…
Let $L^{m,p}(\R^n)$ be the Sobolev space of functions with $m^{th}$ derivatives lying in $L^p(\R^n)$. Assume that $n< p < \infty$. For $E \subset \R^n$, let $L^{m,p}(E)$ denote the space of restrictions to $E$ of functions in…
Let $1 < p < \infty$ and suppose that we are given a function $f$ defined on the leaves of a weighted tree. We would like to extend $f$ to a function $F$ defined on the entire tree, so as to minimize the weighted $W^{1,p}$-Sobolev norm of…
We consider uniformly elliptic and parabolic second-order equations with bounded zeroth-order and bounded VMO leading coefficients and possibly growing first-order coefficients. We look for solutions which are summable to the $p$-th power…
For a finite $E \subset \R^2$, $f:E \rightarrow \R$, and $p>2$, we produce a continuous $F:\R^2 \rightarrow \R$ depending linearly on $f$, taking the same values as $f$ on $E$, and with $L^{2,p}(\R^2)$ semi-norm minimal up to a factor…
In this paper, we establish the existence of a bounded, linear extension operator $T: L^{2,p}(E) \to L^{2,p}(\mathbb{R}^2)$ when $1<p<2$ and $E$ is a finite subset of $\mathbb{R}^2$ contained in a line.
We construct whole-space extensions of functions in a fractional Sobolev space of order $s\in (0,1)$ and integrability $p\in (0,\infty)$ on an open set $O$ which vanish in a suitable sense on a portion $D$ of the boundary $\partial O$ of…
Let $L^{m,p}(\R^n)$ denote the Sobolev space of functions whose $m$-th derivatives lie in $L^p(\R^n)$, and assume that $p>n$. For $E \subset \R^n$, denote by $L^{m,p}(E)$ the space of restrictions to $E$ of functions $F \in L^{m,p}(\R^n)$.…
For a given metric space $(P,\phi)$, a tree cover of stretch $t$ is a collection of trees on $P$ such that edges $(x,y)$ of trees receive length $\phi(x,y)$, and such that for any pair of points $u,v\in P$ there is a tree $T$ in the…
The paper deals with the second order regularity properties of the weak solutions $u\in W^{1,\phi}(\Omega, \real^n)$ } of systems of the form \begin{equation*}\label{equareg} -\dive A(x,\E u)=f, \end{equation*} in a bounded domain…
We characterize the restrictions of first order Sobolev functions to regular subsets of a homogeneous metric space and prove the existence of the corresponding linear extension operator.
Let $\phi(x,y)$ be a continuous function, smooth away from the diagonal, such that, for some $\alpha>0$, the associated generalized Radon transforms \begin{equation} \label{Radon} R_t^{\phi}f(x)=\int_{\phi(x,y)=t} f(y) \psi(y)…
This paper studies two classes of variational problems introduced in [7], related to the optimal shapes of tree roots and branches. Given a measure $\mu$ describing the distribution of leaves, a sunlight functional $\S(\mu)$ computes the…
Let $L^{m,p}(\mathbb{R}^n)$ be the homogeneous Sobolev space for $p \in (n,\infty)$, $\mu$ be a Borel regular measure on $\mathbb{R}^n$, and $L^{m,p}(\mathbb{R}^n) + L^p(d\mu)$ be the space of Borel measurable functions with finite seminorm…
We study extensions of sets and functions in general metric measure spaces. We show that an open set has the strong BV extension property if and only if it has the strong extension property for sets of finite perimeter. We also prove…
We consider the Dirichlet problem on infinite and locally finite rooted trees, and we prove that the set of irregular points for continuous data has zero capacity. We also give some uniqueness results for solutions in Sobolev $ W^{1,p} $ of…
We prove the existence and uniqueness of solutions to a Dirichlet problem \[ \begin{cases} Lu = f + v^{-1}\text{Div}(v{\bf e} h), & x \in \Omega; u = 0, & x \in \partial \Omega, \end{cases}\] where $L$ is a degenerate, linear, second order…
This paper establishes isomorphisms for the Laplace operator in weighted Sobolev spaces (WSS). These spaces are similar to standard Sobolev spaces, but they are endowed with weights prescribing functions growth or decay at infinity.…
There are at least two directions concerning the extension of classical sharp Hardy-Littlewood-Sobolev inequality: (1) Extending the sharp inequality on general manifolds; (2) Extending it for the negative exponent $\lambda=n-\alpha$ (that…
This paper is concerned with a shape optimization problem, where the functional to be maximized describes the total sunlight collected by a distribution of tree leaves, minus the cost for transporting water and nutrient from the base of the…
