We address a Cauchy problem for a nonlinear elliptic PDE arising in glaciology. After recasting the Cauchy problem as an ill-posed operator equation, we prove (for values of a certain parameter allowing Hilbert space techniques) differentiability properties of the associated operator. We also suggest iterative methods which can be applied to solve the operator problem.

It is shown that the tensor product JH⊗̃ǫJH fails Pe lczńyski’s property (u). The proof uses a result of Kwapień and Pe lczńyski on the main triangle projection in matrix spaces. The Banach space JH constructed by Hagler [1] has a number of interesting properties. For instance, it is known that JH contains no isomorph of l, and has property (S): every normalized weakly null sequence has a subseq...

The notion of a strongly summing sequence is introduced. Such a sequence is weak-Cauchy, a basis for its closed linear span, and has the crucial property that the dual of this span is not weakly sequentially complete. The main result is: Theorem. Every non-trivial weak-Cauchy sequence in a (real or complex) Banach space has either a strongly summing sequence or a convex block basis equivalent t...

2D Simulation and Mapping using the Cauchy-Green Complex Barycentric Coordinates Conformal maps are especially useful in geometry processing for computing shape preserving deformations, image warping and manipulating harmonic functions. The Cauchy-Green coordinates are complex-valued barycentric coordinates, which can be used to parameterize a space of conformal maps from a planar domain bounde...

We prove that the space-time developments of generic solutions of the vacuum constraint Einstein equations do not possess any global or local Killing vectors, when Cauchy data are prescribed on an asymptotically flat Cauchy surface, or on a compact Cauchy surface with mean curvature close to a constant, or for CMC asymptotically hyperbolic initial data sets. More generally, we show that non-exi...

This is the rst of two papers on the zero-viscosity limit for the incompressible Navier-Stokes equations in a half-space. In this paper we prove short time existence theorems for the Euler and Prandtl equations with analytic initial data in either two or three spatial dimensions. The main technical tool in this analysis is the abstract Cauchy-Kowalewski theorem. For the Euler equations, the pro...

In this work we prove a new Lp holomorphic extension result for functions defined on product Lipschitz surfaces with small Lipschitz constants in two complex variables. We define biparameter and partial Cauchy integral operators that play the role of boundary values for holomorphic functions on product Lipschitz domain. In the spirit of the application of David-Journé-Semmes [DJS85] and Christ’...
