The existence of a positive entire weak solution to a singular quasi-linear elliptic system with convection terms is established, chiefly through perturbation techniques, fixed point arguments, and a priori estimates. Some regularity…

If a differential operator $D$ on a smooth Hermitian vector bundle $S$ over a compact manifold $M$ is symmetric, it is essentially self-adjoint and so admits the use of functional calculus. If $D$ is also elliptic, then the Hilbert space of…

We consider positive semidefinite kernels which have values given by bounded linear operators on certain bundles of Hilbert spaces and which are invariant under actions of $*$-semigroupoids. For these kernels, we prove that there exist…

We investigate second order elliptic equations \[F(\mathcal{H}u) = 0\] where the function $F\colon S(n)\to\mathbb{R}$ on the space of symmetric $n\times n$ matrices is assumed to be sublinear. There is very little to be found in the…

We study the positive-definiteness of a family of $L^2(\mathbf{R})$ integral operators with kernel $K_{t, a}(x, y) = (1 + (x - y)^2 + a(x^2 + y^2)^t)^{-1}$, with $t > 0$ and $a > 0$. When $0 < t \le 1$, the known theory of positive-definite…

We give a uniform description of resolvents and complex powers of elliptic semiclassical cone differential operators as the semiclassical parameter $h$ tends to $0$. An example of such an operator is the shifted semiclassical Laplacian…

The purpose of the paper is to introduce and study a new class of operators on semi-Hilbertian spaces i.e.; spaces generated by positive semidefinite sesquilinear forms. Let H be a Hilbert space and let A be a positive bounded operator on H…
