We provide sufficient conditions under which the difference of the resolvents of two higher-order operators acting in $R^N$ belongs to trace classes $cC^p$. We provide explicit estimates on the norm of the resolvent difference in terms of $L^p$ norms of the difference of the coefficients. Such inequalities are useful in estimating the effect of localized perturbations of the coefficients.
We establish the existence and regularity properties of a monodromy operator for the linearization of the cubic-quintic complex Ginzburg-Landau equation about a periodically-stationary (breather) solution. We derive a formula for the essential spectrum of the monodromy operator in terms of that of the associated asymptotic linear differential operator. This result is obtained using the theory of analytic semigroups under the assumption that the Ginzburg-Landau equation includes a spectral filtering (diffusion) term. We discuss applications to the stability of periodically-stationary pulses in ultrafast fiber lasers.
Let $(X,g)$ be a compact manifold with conic singularities. Taking $Delta_g$ to be the Friedrichs extension of the Laplace-Beltrami operator, we examine the singularities of the trace of the half-wave group $e^{- i t sqrt{ smash[b]{Delta_g}}}$ arising from strictly diffractive closed geodesics. Under a generic nonconjugacy assumption, we compute the principal amplitude of these singularities in terms of invariants associated to the geodesic and data from the cone point. This generalizes the classical theorem of Duistermaat-Guillemin on smooth manifolds and a theorem of Hillairet on flat surfaces with cone points.
We prove existence of the global attractor of the damped and driven Euler--Bardina equations on the 2D sphere and on arbitrary domains on the sphere and give explicit estimates of its fractal dimension in terms of the physical parameters.
We consider general second order uniformly elliptic operators subject to homogeneous boundary conditions on open sets $phi (Omega)$ parametrized by Lipschitz homeomorphisms $phi $ defined on a fixed reference domain $Omega$. Given two open sets $phi (Omega)$, $tilde phi (Omega)$ we estimate the variation of resolvents, eigenvalues and eigenfunctions via the Sobolev norm $|tilde phi -phi |_{W^{1,p}(Omega)}$ for finite values of $p$, under natural summability conditions on eigenfunctions and their gradients. We prove that such conditions are satisfied for a wide class of operators and open sets, including open sets with Lipschitz continuous boundaries. We apply these estimates to control the variation of the eigenvalues and eigenfunctions via the measure of the symmetric difference of the open sets. We also discuss an application to the stability of solutions to the Poisson problem.
In this paper we show how to obtain decay estimates for the damped wave equation on a compact manifold without geometric control via knowledge of the dynamics near the un-damped set. We show that if replacing the damping term with a higher-order emph{complex absorbing potential} gives an operator enjoying polynomial resolvent bounds on the real axis, then the resolvent associated to our damped problem enjoys bounds of the same order. It is known that the necessary estimates with complex absorbing potential can also be obtained via gluing from estimates for corresponding non-compact models.
