Complete integrability of the Benjamin–Ono equation on the multi-soliton manifolds

This paper is dedicated to proving the complete integrability of the Benjamin–Ono (BO) equation on the line when restricted to every N-soliton manifold, denoted by $$\mathcal {U}_N$$ U N . We construct generalized action–angle coordinates which establish a real analytic symplectomorphism from $$\mathcal {U}_N$$ U N onto some open convex subset of $${\mathbb {R}}^{2N}$$ R 2 N and allow to solve the equation by quadrature for any such initial datum. As a consequence, $$\mathcal {U}_N$$ U N is the universal covering of the manifold of N-gap potentials for the BO equation on the torus as described by Gérard–Kappeler (Commun Pure Appl Math, 2020. 10.1002/cpa.21896. arXiv:1905.01849). The global well-posedness of the BO equation on $$\mathcal {U}_N$$ U N is given by a polynomial characterization and a spectral characterization of the manifold $$\mathcal {U}_N$$ U N . Besides the spectral analysis of the Lax operator of the BO equation and the shift semigroup acting on some Hardy spaces, the construction of such coordinates also relies on the use of a generating functional, which encodes the entire BO hierarchy. The inverse spectral formula of an N-soliton provides a spectral connection between the Lax operator and the infinitesimal generator of the very shift semigroup.

On generalized Newton method for solving operator inclusions

In this paper, we study the existence and uniqueness theorem for solving the generalized operator equation of the form F(x) + G(x) + T(x) ? 0, where F is a Fr?chet differentiable operator, G is a maximal monotone operator and T is a Lipschitzian operator defined on an open convex subset of a Hilbert space. Our results are improvements upon corresponding results of Uko [Generalized equations and the generalized Newton method, Math. Programming 73 (1996) 251-268].

A Newton-type method and its application

We prove an existence and uniqueness theorem for solving the operator equationF(x)+G(x)=0, whereFis a continuous and Gâteaux differentiable operator and the operatorGsatisfies Lipschitz condition on an open convex subset of a Banach space. As corollaries, a recent theorem of Argyros (2003) and the classical convergence theorem for modified Newton iterates are deduced. We further obtain an existence theorem for a class of nonlinear functional integral equations involving the Urysohn operator.

A dual differentiation space without an equivalent locally uniformly rotund norm

A Banach space (X, ∥ · ∥) is said to be a dual differentiation space if every continuous convex function defined on a non-empty open convex subset A of X* that possesses weak* continuous subgradients at the points of a residual subset of A is Fréchet differentiable on a dense subset of A. In this paper we show that if we assume the continuum hypothesis then there exists a dual differentiation space that does not admit an equivalent locally uniformly rotund norm.

Quasianalytic functionals and projective descriptions

The topology of the weighted inductive limit of Fréchet spaces of entire functions in $N$ variables which is obtained as the Fourier Laplace transform of the space of quasianalytic functionals on an open convex subset of $\mathrm{R}^N$ cannot be described by means of weighted sup-seminorms.

Separable determination of Fréchet differentiability of convex functions

For a continuous convex function on an open convex subset of any Banach space a separability condition on its image under the subdifferential mapping is sufficient to guarantee the generic Fréchet differentiability of the function. This gives a direct insight into the characterisation of Asplund spaces.

Théorème d'existence pour des problèmes variationnels non convexes

SynopsisOn donne dans cet article un théorème d'existence de solutions lipschitziennes pour des problèmes du type:où Ω est un ouvert convexe borné de ℝn, n ≧ 2, p ≧ 2, aucune hypothèse de convexité n'est faite sur g ou f. On étend de la sorte des ŕesultats d'existence obtenus en dimension 1.where Ω is a bounded open convex subset of ℝn, n ≧ 2, p ≧ 2; we suppose no assumption of convexity on g or f. In this way we extend existence results proved in dimension 1.)

On the characterisation of Asplund spaces

A Banach space is an Asplund space if every continuous convex function on an open convex subset is Fréchet differentiable on a dense G8 subset of its domain. The recent research on the Radon-Nikodým property in Banach spaces has revealed that a Banach space is an Asplund space if and only if every separable subspace has separable dual. It would appear that there is a case for providing a more direct proof of this characterisation.

Amenability and invariant subspaces

Let E be a topological vector space (over the real or complex field). A well-known geometric form of the Hahn-Banach theorem asserts that if U is an open convex subset of E and M is a subspace of E which does not meet U, then there exists a closed hyperplane H containing M and not meeting U. In this paper we prove, among other things, that if S is a left amenable semigroup (which is the case, for example, when S is abelian or when S is a solvable group, see [3, p.11]), then for any right linear action of S on E, if U is an invariant open convex subset of E containing an invariant element and M is an invariant subspace not meeting U, then there exists a closed invariant hyperplane H of E containing M and not meeting U. Furthermore, this geometric property characterizes the class of left amenable semigroups.
