In this paper, we prove that if a complete Riemannian manifold M has finitely many ends, each of which is a Harnack end, then the set of all energy finite bounded A-harmonic functions on M is one to one corresponding to Rl, where A is a nonlinear elliptic operator of type p on M and l is the number of p-nonparabolic ends of M. We also prove that if a complete Riemannian manifold M is roughly isometric to a complete Riemannian manifold with finitely many ends, each of which satisfies the volume doubling condition, the Poincaré inequality and the finite covering condition near infinity, then the set of all energy finite bounded A-harmonic functions on M is finite dimensional. This result generalizes those of Yau, of Donnelly, of Grigor’yan, of Li and Tam, of Holopainen, and of Kim and the present author, but with a barrier argument at infinity that the peculiarity of nonlinearity demands.

In the first part of this paper, Yau's estimates for positive L-harmonic functions and Li and Yau's gradient estimates for the positive solutions of a general parabolic heat equation on a complete Riemannian manifold are obtained by the use of Bakry and Emery's theory. In the second part we establish a heat kernel bound for a second-order differential operator which has a bounded and measurable drift, using Girsanov's formula.

Non Parametric Estimation

Finding an approximate probability distribution best representing a sample on a measure space is one of the most basic operations in statistics. Many procedures were designed for that purpose when the underlying space is a finite dimensional Euclidean space. In applications, however, such a simple setting may not be adapted and one has to consider data living on a Riemannian manifold. The lack of unique generalizations of the classical distributions, along with theoretical and numerical obstructions require several options to be considered. The present work surveys some possible extensions of well known families of densities to the Riemannian setting, both for parametric and non-parametric estimation.

In this paper, we study the following gradient system on a complete Riemannian manifold M, {-x?(t) = grad'(x(t)) x(0) = x0, where ? : M ? R is a C1 function with Argmin ? ? ?. We prove that the gradient flow x(t) converges to a critical point of ? if ? is pseudo-convex, or if ? is quasi-convex and M is Hadamard. As an application to minimization, we consider a discrete version of the system to approximate a minimum point of a given pseudo-convex function ?.

The Laplace Operator

For a bounded domain Ω with a piecewise smooth boundary in a complete Riemannian manifold M, we study eigenvalues of the Dirichlet eigenvalue problem of the Laplacian. By making use of a fact that eigenfunctions form an orthonormal basis of L2(Ω) in place of the Rayleigh–Ritz formula, we obtain inequalities for eigenvalues of the Laplacian. In particular, for lower order eigenvalues, our results extend the results of Chen and Cheng [D. Chen and Q.-M. Cheng, Extrinsic estimates for eigenvalues of the Laplace operator, J. Math. Soc. Japan 60 (2008) 325–339].

This paper deals with an elliptic equation involving Paneitz type operators on compact Riemannian manifolds with concave-convex nonlinearities and a real parameter. Nonlocal and multiple existence results are established. Characteristic values of the real parameter are introduced and their role in the change of the energy sign and the existence of positive solutions are highlighted.

Abstract In this paper, we consider the eigensolutions of $-\Delta u+ Vu=\lambda u$, where $\Delta $ is the Laplacian on a non-compact complete Riemannian manifold. We develop Kato’s methods on manifold and establish the growth of the eigensolutions as r goes to infinity based on the asymptotical behaviors of $\Delta r$ and V (x), where r = r(x) is the distance function on the manifold. As applications, we prove several criteria of absence of eigenvalues of Laplacian, including a new proof of the absence of eigenvalues embedded into the essential spectra of free Laplacian if the radial curvature of the manifold satisfies $ K_{\textrm{rad}}(r)= -1+\frac{o(1)}{r}$.
