In this paper we consider the heat semigroup $\{W_t\}_{t>0}$ defined by the combinatorial Laplacian and two subordinated families of $\{W_t\}_{t>0}$ on homogeneous trees $X$. We characterize the weights $u$ on $X$ for which the pointwise…

Let $\alpha(x)$ be a measurable function taking values in $ [\alpha_1,\alpha_2]$ for $0<\A_1\le \A_2<2$, and $\kappa(x,z)$ be a positive measurable function that is symmetric in $z$ and bounded between two positive constants. Under a…

We study the validity of the comparison and maximum principles, and their relation with principal eigenvalues, for a class of degenerate nonlinear operators that are extremal among operators with one dimensional fractional diffusion.

We consider a class of homogeneous partial differential operators on a finite-dimensional vector space and study their associated heat kernels. The heat kernels for this general class of operators are seen to arise naturally as the limiting…

We study heat equations $\partial_t u - \operatorname{div}(A\nabla u) = 0$ on bounded Lipschitz domains $\Omega$, where $-\operatorname{div}(A\nabla\,\cdot\,)$ is a second-order uniformly elliptic operator with generalised Robin boundary…

We introduce and analyze an explicit formulation of fractional powers of the Lam\'e-Navier system of partial differential operators. We show that this fractional Lam\'e-Navier operator is a nonlocal integro-differential operator that…

We extend to $p$-uniformly convex spaces tools from the analysis of fixed point iterations in linear spaces. This study is restricted to an appropriate generalization of single-valued, pointwise $\alpha$-averaged mappings. Our main…

In this paper, we develop a direct {\em blowing-up and rescaling} argument for a nonlinear equation involving the fractional Laplacian operator. Instead of using the conventional extension method introduced by Caffarelli and Silvestre, we…

In this paper, we regularize the nonlinear inverse time heat problem in the unbounded region by Fourier method. Some new convergence rates are obtained. Meanwhile, some quite sharp error estimates between the approximate solution and exact…

This note investigates the explicit convergence rates of nonlocal peridynamic operators to their classical (local) counterparts in $L^q$-norm. Previous results used Fourier series and hence were restricted to showing convergence in $L^2$.…

We prove in full generality the thermal operator representation for Matsubara sums in a relativistic field theory of scalar and fermionic particles. It states that the full result of performing the Matsubara sum associated to any given…

The evolution of the expectation values of one and two points scalar field operators and of positive localization operators, generated by an istantaneous point source is non local. Non locality is attributed either to zero point vacuum…

We consider the heat operator acting on differential forms on spaces with complete and incomplete edge metrics. In the latter case we study the heat operator of the Hodge Laplacian with algebraic boundary conditions at the edge singularity.…

This article investigates nonlocal, fully nonlinear generalizations of the classical biharmonic operator $(-\Delta)^2$. These fractional $p$-biharmonic operators appear naturally in the variational characterization of the optimal fractional…

We consider a class of constant-coefficient partial differential operators on a finite-dimensional real vector space which exhibit a natural dilation invariance. Typically, these operators are anisotropic, allowing for different degrees in…

Let us consider a time-dependent differential operator quadratic with respect to the phase variables. Let us consider a multiplication operator defined with the help of a "small" matrix-valued function. Under suitable conditions, we give an…

Consider the following stochastic partial differential equation, \begin{equation*} \partial_t u_t(x)= \mathcal{L}u_t(x)+ \xi\sigma (u_t(x)) \dot F(t,x), \end{equation*} where $\xi$ is a positive parameter and $\sigma$ is a globally…

We prove a compactness result with respect to $\Gamma$-convergence for a class of integral functionals which are expressed as a sum of a local and a non-local term. The main feature is that, under our hypotheses, the local part of the…

We study a time-fractional semilinear heat equation $$\partial^{\alpha}_t u -\Delta u = u^{p},\ \ \mbox{in}\ (0,T)\times\mathbb{R}^N,\ \ u(0)=u_0\ge0$$ with $u_0\in L^{1}(\mathbb{R}^N)$ and $p=1+2/N$. Here $\partial_t^{\alpha}$ denotes the…

This article surveys results that relate homogenisation problems for partial differential equations and convergence in the weak operator topology of a suitable choice of linear operators. More precisely, well-known notions like…
