In this paper we prove a sharp lower bound for the first nontrivial Neumann eigenvalue $\mu_1(\Omega)$ for the $p$-Laplace operator in a Lipschitz, bounded domain $\Omega$ in $\R^n$. Our estimate does not require any convexity assumption on…

In this paper we study eigenvalues of Laplacian and biharmonic operators on compact domains in complete manifolds. We establish several new inequalities for eigenvalues of Laplacian and biharmonic operators respectively by using Sobolev…

In this paper, we extend the fractional Sobolev spaces with variable exponents $W^{s,p(x,y)}$ to include the general fractional case $W^{K,p(x,y)}$, where $p$ is a variable exponent, $s\in (0,1)$ and $K$ is a suitable kernel. We are…

We prove that given any positive integer $k$, for each open set $\Omega$ and any closed subset $D$ of its closure such that $\Omega$ is locally an (epsilon,delta)-domain near points in the boundary of $\Omega$ not contained in $D$ there…

We prove a nonlocal, nonlinear commutator estimate concerning the transfer of derivatives onto testfunctions. For the fractional $p$-Laplace operator it implies that solutions to certain degenerate nonlocal equations are higher…

Given any $1 < q \le 2$, we use new free probability techniques to construct a completely isomorphic embedding of $\ell_q$ (equipped with its natural operator space structure) into the predual of a sufficiently large QWEP von Neumann…

We set out to build a framework for self-adjoint extension theory for powers of the Jacobi differential operator that does not make use of classical deficiency elements. Instead, we rely on simpler functions that capture the impact of these…

We study the most general class of eigenfunction expansions for abstract normal operators with pure point spectrum in a complex Hilbert space. We find sufficient conditions for such expansions to be unconditionally convergent in spaces with…

Let $X$ be a metric space with a doubling measure. Let $L$ be a nonnegative self-adjoint operator acting on $L^2(X)$, hence $L$ generates an analytic semigroup $e^{-tL}$. Assume that the kernels $p_t(x,y)$ of $e^{-tL}$ satisfy Gaussian…

We consider a Sturm-Liouville operator a with integrable potential $q$ on the unit interval $I=[0,1]$. We consider a Schr\"odinger operator with a real compactly supported potential on the half line and on the line, where this potential…

We propose a survey on composition operators in classical Sobolev spaces. We mention results obtained in 2019, on the continuity of such operators.

For each $p>1$ and each positive integer $m$ we give intrinsic characterizations of the restriction of the homogeneous Sobolev space $L^m_p(R)$ to an arbitrary closed subset $E$ of the real line. We show that the classical one dimensional…

We provide a solution to the effectiveness problem in Kohn's algorithm for generating holomorphic subelliptic multipliers for $(0,q)$ forms for arbitrary $q$. As an application, we obtain subelliptic estimates for $(0,q)$ forms with…

Let D be a bounded pseudoconvex domain in $C^n, n\geq 2, 0\leq p\leq n,$ and $1\leq q\leq n-1.$ We show that compactness of the dbar-Neumann operator, $N_{p,q+1},$ on square integrable (p,q+1)-forms is equivalent to compactness of the…

For a family of elliptic operators with periodically oscillating coefficients, $-\text{div}( A(\cdot/\varepsilon) \nabla) $ with tiny $\varepsilon>0$, we comprehensively study the first-order expansions of eigenvalues and eigenfunctions…

An arbitrary outward cuspidal domain is shown to be bi-Lipschitz equivalent to a Lipschitz outward cuspidal domain via a global transformation. This allows us to extend earlier Sobolev extension results on Lipschitz outward cuspidal domains…

We prove weighted $L_{p,q}$-estimates for divergence type higher order elliptic and parabolic systems with irregular coefficients on Reifenberg flat domains. In particular, in the parabolic case the coefficients do not have any regularity…

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…
