this paper analyzes a linear system of equations when the righthandside is a fuzzy vector and the coefficient matrix is a crisp m-matrix. thefuzzy linear system (fls) is converted to the equivalent crisp system withcoefficient matrix of dimension 2n × 2n. however, solving this crisp system isdifficult for large n because of dimensionality problems . it is shown that thisdifficulty may be avoide...

We consider the p–Laplacian operator on a domain equipped with a Finsler metric. After deriving and recalling relevant properties of its first eigenfunction for p > 1, we investigate the limit problem as p → 1.

Given a C-function f on a compact riemannian manifold (X, g) we give a set of frequencies L = Lf (ε) depending on a small parameter ε > 0 such that the relative L-error ‖f−f ‖ ‖f‖ is bounded above by ε, where f L denotes the L-partial sum of the Fourier series f with respect to an orthonormal basis of L(X) constituted by eigenfunctions of the Laplacian operator ∆ associated to the metric g.

We establish sharp regularity and Fredholm theorems for the ∂̄b-Neumann problem on domains satisfying some non-generic geometric conditions. We use these domains to construct explicit examples of bad behaviour of the Kohn Laplacian: it is not always hypoelliptic up to the boundary, its partial inverse is not compact and it is not globally subelliptic.

We prove a Liouville-type theorem for bounded stable solutions v ∈ C(R) of elliptic equations of the type (−∆)v = f(v) in R, where s ∈ (0, 1) and f is any nonnegative function. The operator (−∆) stands for the fractional Laplacian, a pseudo-differential operator of symbol |ξ|.

On a manifold with a projective connection we canonically assign a second order differential operator acting on the algebra of all densities to any tensor density S of fixed weight λ. In particular, this implies that on any projectively connected manifold, a ‘bracket’ (symmetric biderivation) on the algebra of functions extends canonically to the algebra of densities.

We derive differential inequalities and difference inequalities for Riesz means of eigenvalues of the Dirichlet Laplacian, Rσ(z) := ∑ k (z − λk) σ +. Here {λk} ∞ k=1 are the ordered eigenvalues of the Laplacian on a bounded domain Ω ⊂ Rd, and x+ := max(0, x) denotes the positive part of the quantity x. As corollaries of these inequalities, we derive Weyl-type bounds on λk, on averages such as λ...

We review some results about nonlocal advection-diffusion equations based on lower bounds for the fractional Laplacian. To Haim, with respect and admiration.

We prove that CR lines in an exponentially degenerate boundary are propagators of holomorphic extension. This explains, in the context of the CR geometry, why in this situation the induced Kohn-Laplacian b is not hypoelliptic (Christ [3]). MSC: 32F10, 32F20, 32N15, 32T25
