In this paper, we examine the discrete Laplacian acting on a hexagonal lattice by introducing long-range modifications in both the metric and the potential. Our objective is to establish a Limiting Absorption Principle, excluding possible…
In this paper we study the Dirichlet problem for real-valued second order divergence form elliptic operators with boundary data in H\"{o}lder spaces. Our context is that of open sets $\Omega \subset \mathbb{R}^{n+1}$, $n \ge 2$, satisfying…
Maximization and minimization problems of the principle eigenvalue for divergence form second order elliptic operators with the Dirichlet boundary condition are considered. The principal eigen map of such elliptic operators is introduced…
For a second order operator on a compact manifold satisfying the strong H\"ormander condition, we give a bound for the spectral gap analogous to the Lichnerowicz estimate for the Laplacian of a Riemannian manifold. We consider a wide class…
We consider second-order partial differential operators $H$ in divergence form on $\Ri^d$ with a positive-semidefinite, symmetric, matrix $C$ of real $L_\infty$-coefficients and establish that $H$ is strongly elliptic if and only if the…
This paper reformulates and extends some recent analytical results concerning a new optical theorem and the associated physical bounds on absorption in lossy media. The analysis is valid for any linear scatterer (such as an antenna),…
A bounded linear Hilbert space operator $S$ is said to be a $2$-isometry if the operator $S$ and its adjoint $S^*$ satisfy the relation $S^{*2}S^{2} - 2 S^{*}S + I = 0$. In this paper, we study Hilbert space operators having liftings or…
Let T : X --> X$ be a power bounded operator on Banach space. An operator C : X --> Y$ is called admissible for T if it satisfies an estimate $\sum_k\norm{CT^k(x)}^2\,\leq M^2\norm{x}^2$. Following Harper and Wynn, we study the validity of…
This work is concerned with an optimal control problem on a Riemannian manifold, for which two typical cases are considered. The first case is when the endpoint is free. For this case, the control set is assumed to be a separable metric…
A convergence theorem for martingales with c\`adl\`ag trajectories (right continuous with left limits everywhere) is obtained in the sense of the weak dual topology on Hilbert space, under conditions that are much weaker than those required…
This work studies the inverse boundary problem for the two photon absorption radiative transport equation. We show that the absorption coefficients and scattering coefficients can be uniquely determined from the \emph{albedo} operator. If…
In this short note, we extend the conservation law of Lamm-Rivi\`ere [Comm. PDEs 2008] for a fourth order elliptic system to supercritical dimensions, under certain Lorentz-Sobolev integrability assumptions on the associated coefficient…
We prove the validity of maximum principles for a class of fully nonlinear operators on unbounded subdomains $\Omega \subset \mathbb R^n$ of cylindrical type. The main structural assumption is the uniform ellipticity of the operator along…
Equality of the second order arithmetic means of two principal ideals does not imply equality of their first order arithmetic means (second order equality cancellation). We provide fairly broad sufficient conditions on one of the principal…
The second law of thermodynamics, formulated as an ultimate bound on the maximum extractable work, has been rigorously derived in multiple scenarios. However, the unavoidable limitations that emerge due to the lack of control on small…
This is the final part of a series of papers where we study perturbations of divergence form second order elliptic operators $-\operatorname{div} A \nabla$ by first and zero order terms, whose complex coefficients lie in critical spaces,…
Almost four decades ago, Bergman and Milton independently showed that the isotropic effective electric permittivity of a two-phase composite material with a given volume fraction is constrained to lie within lens-shaped regions in the…
We prove limiting absorption resolvent bounds for the semiclassical Schr\"odinger operator with a repulsive potential in dimension $n\ge 3$, which may have a singularity at the origin. As an application, we obtain time decay for the…
Continuum limits of Laplace operators on general lattices are considered, and it is shown that these operators converge to elliptic operators on the Euclidean space in the sense of the generalized norm resolvent convergence. We then study…
The paper aims at constructing two different solutions to an elliptic system $$ u \cdot \nabla u + (-\Delta)^m u = \lambda F $$ defined on the two dimensional torus. It can be viewed as an elliptic regularization of the stationary Burgers…
