AbstractWe consider a second-order elliptic operator L in skew product of an ordinary differential operator L1 on an interval (a, b) and an elliptic operator on a domain D2 of a Riemannian manifold such that the associated heat kernel is intrinsically ultracontractive. We give criteria for criticality and subcriticality of L in terms of a positive solution having minimal growth at η (η = a, b) to an associated ordinary differential equation. In the subcritical case, we explicitly determine the Martin compactification and Martin kernel for L on the basis of [24]; in particular, the Martin boundary over η is either one point or a compactification of D2, which depends on whether an associated integral near η diverges or converges. From this structure theorem we show a monotonicity property that the Martin boundary over η does not become smaller as the potential term of L1 becomes larger near η.

We look at estimates for the Green’s function of time-fractional evolution equations of the form D 0 + * ν u = L u , where D 0 + * ν is a Caputo-type time-fractional derivative, depending on a Lévy kernel ν with variable coefficients, which is comparable to y - 1 - β for β ∈ ( 0 , 1 ) , and L is an operator acting on the spatial variable. First, we obtain global two-sided estimates for the Green’s function of D 0 β u = L u in the case that L is a second order elliptic operator in divergence form. Secondly, we obtain global upper bounds for the Green’s function of D 0 β u = Ψ ( - i ∇ ) u where Ψ is a pseudo-differential operator with constant coefficients that is homogeneous of order α . Thirdly, we obtain local two-sided estimates for the Green’s function of D 0 β u = L u where L is a more general non-degenerate second order elliptic operator. Finally we look at the case of stable-like operator, extending the second result from a constant coefficient to variable coefficients. In each case, we also estimate the spatial derivatives of the Green’s functions. To obtain these bounds we use a particular form of the Mittag-Leffler functions, which allow us to use directly known estimates for the Green’s functions associated with L and Ψ , as well as estimates for stable densities. These estimates then allow us to estimate the solutions to a wide class of problems of the form D 0 ( ν , t ) u = L u , where D ( ν , t ) is a Caputo-type operator with variable coefficients.

AbstractLet L be a homogeneous divergence form higher order elliptic operator with complex bounded measurable coefficients and ${(p_{-}(L),p_{+}(L))}$ be the maximal interval of exponents ${q\in[1,\infty]}$ such that the semigroup ${\{e^{-tL}\}_{t>0}}$ is bounded on ${L^{q}(\mathbb{R}^{n})}$. In this article, the authors establish the non-tangential maximal function characterizations of the associated Hardy spaces ${H_{L}^{p}(\mathbb{R}^{n})}$ for all ${p\in(0,p_{+}(L))}$, which when ${p=1}$, answers a question asked by Deng, Ding and Yao in [21]. Moreover, the authors characterize ${H_{L}^{p}(\mathbb{R}^{n})}$ via various versions of square functions and Lusin-area functions associated to the operator L.

We consider an infinite planar straight strip perforated by small holes along a curve. In such a domain, we consider a general second-order elliptic operator subject to classical boundary conditions on the holes. Assuming that the perforation is non-periodic and satisfies rather weak assumptions, we describe all possible homogenized problems. Our main result is the norm-resolvent convergence of the perturbed operator to a homogenized one in various operator norms and the estimates for the rate of convergence. On the basis of the norm-resolvent convergence, we prove the convergence of the spectrum.
