Domains of Positivity
A Domain of Positivity D is an open convex cone associated with a nonsingular symmetric matrix S, called the characteristic, such that xÇzD if and only if x'Sy>0 for all y(~D* As such they were introduced by Koecher (1) in generalization of the cone of positive definite matrices studied by Siegel. The automorphisms of D are the nonsingular linear transformations mapping D onto itself. The group...
متن کاملInverse positivity for general Robin problems on Lipschitz domains
It is proved that elliptic boundary value problems in divergence form can be written in many equivalent forms. This is used to prove regularity properties and maximum principles for problems with Robin boundary conditions with negative or indefinite boundary coefficient on Lipschitz domains by rewriting them as a problem with positive coefficient. It is also shown that such methods cannot be ap...
متن کاملPositivity and Conditional Positivity of Loewner Matrices
We give elementary proofs of the fact that the Loewner matrices [ f(pi)−f(pj) pi−pj ] corresponding to the function f(t) = t on (0,∞) are positive semidefinite, conditionally negative definite, and conditionally positive definite, for r in [0, 1], [1, 2], and [2, 3], respectively. We show that in contrast to the interval (0,∞) the Loewner matrices corresponding to an operator convex function on...
متن کاملPositivity and symmetry of nonnegative solutions of semilinear elliptic equations on planar domains
We consider the Dirichlet problem for the semilinear equation ∆u + f(u) = 0 on a bounded domain Ω ⊂ RN . We assume that Ω is convex in a direction e and symmetric about the hyperplane H = {x ∈ RN : x · e = 0}. It is known that if N ≥ 2 and Ω is of class C2, then any nonzero nonnegative solution is necessarily strictly positive and, consequently, it is reflectionally symmetric about H and decrea...
