For a general subcritical second-order elliptic operator $P$ in a domain $Omega subset mathbb{R}^n$ (or noncompact manifold), we construct Hardy-weight $W$ which is optimal in the following sense. The operator $P - lambda W$ is subcritical in $Omega$ for all $lambda < 1$, null-critical in $Omega$ for $lambda = 1$, and supercritical near any neighborhood of infinity in $Omega$ for any $lambda > 1$. Moreover, if $P$ is symmetric and $W>0$, then the spectrum and the essential spectrum of $W^{-1}P$ are equal to $[1,infty)$, and the corresponding Agmon metric is complete. Our method is based on the theory of positive solutions and applies to both symmetric and nonsymmetric operators. The constructed Hardy-weight is given by an explicit simple formula involving two distinct positive solutions of the equation $Pu=0$, the existence of which depends on the subcriticality of $P$ in $Omega$.

In this paper we prove stable determination of an inverse boundary value problem associated to a magnetic Schrodinger operator assuming that the magnetic and electric potentials are essentially bounded and the magnetic potentials admit a Holder-type modulus of continuity in the sense of $L^2$.
We investigate the large-distance asymptotics of optimal Hardy weights on $mathbb Z^d$, $dgeq 3$, via the super solution construction. For the free discrete Laplacian, the Hardy weight asymptotic is the familiar $frac{(d-2)^2}{4}|x|^{-2}$ as $|x|toinfty$. We prove that the inverse-square behavior of the optimal Hardy weight is robust for general elliptic coefficients on $mathbb Z^d$: (1) averages over large sectors have inverse-square scaling, (2), for ergodic coefficients, there is a pointwise inverse-square upper bound on moments, and (3), for i.i.d. coefficients, there is a matching inverse-square lower bound on moments. The results imply $|x|^{-4}$-scaling for Rellich weights on $mathbb Z^d$. Analogous results are also new in the continuum setting. The proofs leverage Greens function estimates rooted in homogenization theory.
In this paper, we study an extension problem for the Ornstein-Uhlenbeck operator $L=-Delta+2xcdot abla +n$ and we obtain various characterisations of the solution of the same. We use a particular solution of that extension problem to prove a trace Hardy inequality for $L$ from which Hardys inequality for fractional powers of $L$ is obtained. We also prove an isometry property of the solution operator associated to the extension problem. Moreover, new $L^p-L^q$ estimates are obtained for the fractional powers of the Hermite operator.
Generalizing results by Bryant and Griffiths [Duke Math. J., 1995, V.78, 531-676], we completely describe local conservation laws of second-order (1+1)-dimensional evolution equations up to contact equivalence. The possible dimensions of spaces of conservation laws prove to be 0, 1, 2 and infinity. The canonical forms of equations with respect to contact equivalence are found for all nonzero dimensions of spaces of conservation laws.
We study the inverse scattering problem of determining a magnetic field and electric potential from scattering measurements corresponding to finitely many plane waves. The main result shows that the coefficients are uniquely determined by $2n$ measurements up to a natural gauge. We also show that one can recover the full first order term for a related equation having no gauge invariance, and that it is possible to reduce the number of measurements if the coefficients have certain symmetries. This work extends the fixed angle scattering results of Rakesh and M. Salo to Hamiltonians with first order perturbations, and it is based on wave equation methods and Carleman estimates.
