TL;DR: In this article, the analysis of general elliptic edge operators with constant indicide roots was studied and conditions were given to guarantee that the coefficients of this expansion are smooth. But the analysis was restricted to the case when the edge operator is semi-Fredholm.
Abstract: Examples of edge operators include Laplacians on asymptotically flat and asymptotically hyperbolic manifolds. Edge operators also arise in boundary problems around higher condimension boundaries. This paper is concerned with the analysis of general elliptic edge operators with constant indicide roots. We determine when such an operator has a distributional asymptotic expansion. Conditions are given to guarantee that the coefficients of this expansion are smooth. In Part I of this paper we only study the case when the operator is semi-Fredholm. Part II will examine edge operators with infinite dimensional kernel and cokernel, as well as develop the theory of Poisson edge operators.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors considered a class of degenerate parabolic equaitons on a bounded domain with mixed boundary conditions and established the existence of a nonegative solution which is obtainable as a monotone limit of solutions of quasilinear parabolic equations.
Abstract: We consider a class of degenerate parabolic equaitons on a bounded domain with mixed boundary conditions. These problems arise, for example, in the study of flow through porous media. Under appropriate hypotheses, we establish the existence of a nonegative solution which is obtainable as a monotone limit of solutions of quasilinear parabolic equations. This construction is used establish uniqueness, cinparison, and L1 continuous dependence theorems, as well some results on blow up of solutions in finite time

Abstract: We are studying the existence and weak stability of a Vlasov–Poisson syste with two typs of particles , in which the electrons are supposed to be at thermal equilibrium. This modifies the source term in the Poisson equaitonm\, and estimates in the Marcinkiewicz space M3 for the potential are used to get the strong compactness of approximations using a new regularized kernal which preservs an approriate energy inequality.

Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: In this paper, the inverse of the formal derivative of the coefficients-to-solutions map is used to partially invert the latter, which is suggested by seismic exploration of the earth.
Abstract: Waves travelling through a medium carry information about the medium to distant locations. This fact is fundamental to many methods in science and engineering for exploring structural properties and material parameters of media. In mathematical formulations of such situations one considers the map which sends the coefficients of a hyperbolic differential equation to the boundary values of its solutions. The inversion of this non-linear map is desired. In this paper the author uses the inverse of the formal derivative of the coefficients-to-solutions map to partially invert the latter. The problem he studies is suggested by seismic exploration of the earth.
