This chapter establishes Hölder space estimates for higher dimensional corner model problems. It first explains the homogeneous Cauchy problem before estimating the solution of the inhomogeneous problem in a n-dimensional corner. It then reduces the proof of an estimate in higher dimensions to the estimation of a product of 1-dimensional integrals. Using the “1-variable-at-a-time” method, the chapter proves the higher dimensional estimates in several stages by considering the “pure corner” case where m = 0, and then turns to the Euclidean case, where n = 0. It also discusses the resolvent operator as the Laplace transform of the heat kernel.

This chapter describes the construction of a resolvent operator using the Laplace transform of a parametrix for the heat kernel and a perturbative argument. In the equation (μ‎-L) R(μ‎) f = f, R(μ‎) is a right inverse for (μ‎-L). In Hölder spaces, these are the natural elliptic estimates for generalized Kimura diffusions. The chapter first constructs the resolvent kernel using an induction over the maximal codimension of bP, and proves various estimates on it, along with corresponding estimates for the solution operator for the homogeneous Cauchy problem. It then considers holomorphic semi-groups and uses contour integration to construct the solution to the heat equation, concluding with a discussion of Kimura diffusions where all coefficients have the same leading homogeneity.

This chapter presents the Hölder space estimates for Euclidean model problems. It first considers the homogeneous Cauchy problem and the inhomogeneous problem before defining the resolvent operator as the Laplace transform of the heat kernel. It then describes the 1-dimensional kernel estimates that form essential components of the proofs of the Hölder estimates for the general model problems; these include basic kernel estimates, first derivative estimates, and second derivative estimates. The proofs of these estimates are elementary. The chapter concludes by proving estimates on the resolvent and investigating the off-diagonal behavior of the heat kernel in many variables.

This chapter establishes Hölder space estimates for the 1-dimensional model problems. It gives a detailed treatment of the 1-dimensional case, in part because all of the higher dimensional estimates are reduced to estimates on heat kernels for the 1-dimensional model problems. It also presents the proof of parabolic Schauder estimates for the generalized Kimura diffusion operator using the explicit formula for the heat kernel, along with standard tools of analysis. Finally, it considers kernel estimates for degenerate model problems, explains how Hölder estimates are obtained for the 1-dimensional model problems, and describes the properties of the resolvent operator.

This chapter presents the Hölder estimates for general model problems. It first estimates solutions to heat equations for both the homogeneous Cauchy problem and the inhomogeneous problem, obtaining first and second derivative estimates in the latter case, before discussing a general result describing the off-diagonal and long-time behavior of the solution kernel for the general model. It also states a proposition summarizing the properties of the resolvent operator as an operator on the Hölder spaces. In contrast to the case of the heat equation, there is no need to assume that the data has compact support in the x-variables to prove estimates when k > 0.

The Laplace transform of the extinction time is determined for a general birth and death process with arbitrary catastrophe rate and catastrophe size distribution. It is assumed only that the birth rates satisfyλ0= 0,λj> 0 for eachj> 0, and. Necessary and sufficient conditions for certain extinction of the population are derived. The results are applied to the linear birth and death process (λj=jλ, µj=jμ) with catastrophes of several different types.

This work concerns the study of the controllability for some impulsive partial functional integrodifferential equation with infinite delay in Banach spaces. We give sufficient conditions that ensure the controllability of the system by supposing that its undelayed part admits a resolvent operator in the sense of Grimmer, and by making use of the measure of noncompactness and the Mönch fixed-point Theorem. As a result, we obtain a generalization of the work of K. Balachandran and R. Sakthivel (Journal of Mathematical Analysis and Applications, 255, 447-457, (2001)) and a host of important results in the literature, without assuming the compactness of the resolvent operator. An example is given for illustration.
