We introduce and study the classes P̃p (Rn) as well as Pp (Rn) , which are generalization of the Kato class. We also obtain a Fefferman inequality for the class P̃p (Rn) and derive the weak Harnack inequality. Mathematics subject classification (2010): Primary 46E35; Secondary 31B10, 35A32, 39B72.

We give a sufficient condition, with no restrictions on the mean curvature, under which the conformal method can be used to generate solutions of the vacuum Einstein constraint equations on compact manifolds. The condition requires a so-called global supersolution but does not require a global subsolution. As a consequence, we construct a class of solutions of the vacuum Einstein constraint equ...

We introduce and prove some new interval oscillation criteria for a general class of forced second-order differential equations (E) : ( r(t)k1(x, x′) )′ + p(t)k2(x, x′)x′ + q(t)f(x) = e(t), t ≥ t0, where the functions k1(u, v), k2(u, v) and f(u) satisfy some general conditions. Our interval oscillation criteria and their proofs are different than previously published ones, and it is based on (i...

The semireactive bargaining set, a solution for cooperative games, is introduced. This solution is in general a subsolution of the bargaining set and a supersolution of the reactive bargaining set. However, on various classes of transferable utility games the semireactive and the reactive bargaining set coincide. The semireactive prebargaining set on TU games can be axiomatized by one-person ra...

Numerical solutions of 2× 2 semilinear systems of elliptic boundary value problems, whose nonlinearities are of quasimonotone nondecreasing, quasimonotone nonincreasing, or mixed quasimonotone types, are computed. At each step of the (quasi) monotone iteration, the solution is represented by a simple-layer potential plus a domain integral; the simple-layer density is then discretized by boundar...

We deal with a system of Lotka-Volterra competition-diffusion equations on R, which is a competing two species model with diffusion. It is known that the equations allow traveling waves with monotone profile. In this article we prove the existence of an entire solution which behaves as two monotone waves propagating from both sides of x-axis, where an entire solution is meant by a classical sol...

We establish new existence results for the Einstein constraint equations for mean extrinsic curvature arbitrarily far from constant. The results hold for rescaled background metric in the positive Yamabe class, with freely specifiable parts of the data sufficiently small, and with matter energy density not identically zero. Two technical advances make these results possible: A new topological f...
