Given a system of entire functions in Cn with at most countable set of common zeros, we introduce the concept of zeta-function associated with the system. Under reasonable assumptions on the system, the zeta-function is well defined for all s ∈ Zn with sufficiently large components. Using residue theory we get an integral representation for the zeta-function which allows us to construct an analytic extension of the zeta-function to an infinite cone in Cn.
We consider a solution of the nonlinear Klein-Gordon equation perturbed by a parametric driver. The frequency of parametric perturbation varies slowly and passes through a resonant value, which leads to a solution change. We obtain a new connection formula for the asymptotic solution before and after the resonance.
We define weak boundary values of solutions to those nonlinear differential equations which appear as Euler-Lagrange equations of variational problems. As a result we initiate the theory of Lagrangian boundary value problems in spaces of appropriate smoothness. We also analyse if the concept of mapping degree of current importance applies to the study of Lagrangian problems.
When trying to extend the Hodge theory for elliptic complexes on compact closed manifolds to the case of compact manifolds with boundary one is led to a boundary value problem for
the Laplacian of the complex which is usually referred to as Neumann problem. We study the Neumann problem for a larger class of sequences of differential operators on
a compact manifold with boundary. These are sequences of small curvature, i.e., bearing the property that the composition of any two neighbouring operators has order less than two.
We develop the method of Fischer-Riesz equations for general boundary value problems elliptic in the sense of Douglis-Nirenberg. To this end we reduce them to a boundary problem for a (possibly overdetermined) first order system whose classical symbol has a left inverse. For such a problem there is a uniquely determined boundary value problem which is adjoint to the given one with respect to the Green formula. On using a well elaborated theory of approximation by solutions of the adjoint problem, we find the Cauchy data of solutions of our problem.
For a sequence of Hilbert spaces and continuous linear operators the curvature is defined to be the composition of any two consecutive operators. This is modeled on the de Rham resolution of a connection on a module over an algebra. Of particular interest are those sequences for which the curvature is "small" at each step, e.g., belongs to a fixed operator ideal. In this context we elaborate the theory of Fredholm sequences and show how to introduce the Lefschetz number.
The index formula for elliptic pseudodifferential operators on a two-dimensional manifold with conical points contains the Atiyah-Singer integral as well as two additional terms. One of the two is the 'eta' invariant defined by the conormal symbol, and the other term is explicitly expressed via the principal and subprincipal symbols of the operator at conical points. In the preceding paper we clarified the meaning of the additional terms for first-order differential operators. The aim of this paper is an explicit description of the contribution of a conical point for higher-order differential operators. We show that changing the origin in the complex plane reduces the entire contribution of the conical point to the shifted 'eta' invariant. In turn this latter is expressed in terms of the monodromy matrix for an ordinary differential equation defined by the conormal symbol.
For general elliptic pseudodifferential operators on manifolds with singular points, we prove an algebraic index formula. In this formula the symbolic contributions from the interior and from the singular points are explicitly singled out. For two-dimensional manifolds, the interior contribution is reduced to the Atiyah-Singer integral over the cosphere bundle while two additional terms arise. The first of the two is one half of the 'eta' invariant associated to the conormal symbol of the operator at singular points. The second term is also completely determined by the conormal symbol. The example of the Cauchy-Riemann operator on the complex plane shows that all the three terms may be non-zero.
We define the Dirichlet to Neumann operator for an elliptic complex of first order differential operators on a compact Riemannian manifold with boundary. Under reasonable conditions the Betti numbers of the complex prove to be completely determined by the Dirichlet to Neumann operator on the boundary.
We discuss canonical representations of the de Rham cohomology on a compact manifold with boundary. They are obtained by minimising the energy integral in a Hilbert space of differential forms that belong along with the exterior derivative to the domain of the adjoint operator. The corresponding Euler-Lagrange equations reduce to an elliptic boundary value problem on the manifold, which is usually referred to as the Neumann problem after Spencer.
We study the Cauchy problem for the oscillation equation of the couple-stress theory of elasticity in a bounded domain in R3. Both the displacement and stress are given on a part S of the boundary of the domain. This problem is densely solvable while data of compact support in the interior of S fail to belong to the range of the problem. Hence the problem is ill-posed which makes the standard calculi of Fourier integral operators inapplicable. If S is real analytic the Cauchy-Kovalevskaya theorem applies to guarantee the existence of a local solution. We invoke the special structure of the oscillation equation to derive explicit conditions of global solvability and an approximation solution.
We discuss the Cauchy problem for the so-called Chaplygin system which often appears in gas, aero- and hydrodynamics. This system can be thought of as a nonlinear analogue of the Cauchy-Riemann system in the plane. We pose Cauchy data on a part of the boundary and apply variational approach to construct a solution to this ill-posed problem. The problem actually gives insight to fundamental questions related to instable problems for nonlinear equations.
We consider a (generally, non-coercive) mixed boundary value problem in a bounded domain for a second order elliptic differential operator A. The differential operator is assumed to be of divergent form and the boundary operator B is of Robin type. The boundary is assumed to be a Lipschitz surface. Besides, we distinguish a closed subset of the boundary and control the growth of solutions near this set. We prove that the pair (A,B) induces a Fredholm operator L in suitable weighted spaces of Sobolev type, the weight function being a power of the distance to the singular set. Moreover, we prove the completeness of root functions related to L.
An expansion for a class of functions is called stable if the partial sums are bounded uniformly in the class. Stable expansions are of key importance in numerical analysis where functions are given up to certain error. We show that expansions in homogeneous functions are always stable on a small ball around the origin, and evaluate the radius of the largest ball with this property.
We find necessary conditions for a second order ordinary differential equation to be equivalent to the Painleve III equation under a general point transformation. Their sufficiency is established by reduction to known results for the equations of the form y ' = f (x, y). We consider separately the generic case and the case of reducibility to an autonomous equation. The results are illustrated by the primary resonance equation.
We develop a new approach to the analysis of pseudodifferential operators with small parameter 'epsilon' in (0,1] on a compact smooth manifold X. The standard approach assumes action of operators in Sobolev spaces whose norms depend on 'epsilon'. Instead we consider the cylinder [0,1] x X over X and study pseudodifferential operators on the cylinder which act, by the very nature, on functions depending on 'epsilon' as well. The action in 'epsilon' reduces to multiplication by functions of this variable and does not include any differentiation. As but one result we mention asymptotic of solutions to singular perturbation problems for small values of 'epsilon'.
We prove a theorem on separation of boundary null points for generators of continuous semigroups of holomorphic self-mappings of the unit disk in the complex plane. Our construction demonstrates rather strikingly the particular role of the binary operation au broken vertical bar given by 1/ f au broken vertical bar g = 1/f + 1/g on generators.
The subject of this paper is solutions of an autoresonance equation. We look for a connection between the parameters of the solution bounded as t -> -infinity, and the parameters of two two-parameter families of solutions as t -> infinity. One family consists of the solutions which are not captured into resonance, and another of those increasing solutions which are captured into resonance. In this way we describe the transition through the separatrix for equations with slowly varying parameters and get an estimate for parameters before the resonance of those solutions which may be captured into autoresonance.

The problem of analytic representation of integrable CR functions on hypersurfaces with singularities is treated. The nature o singularities does not matter while the set of singularities has surface measure zero. For simple singularities like cuspidal points, edges, corners, etc., also the behaviour of representing analytic functions near singular points is studied.
We study the dynamics of four wave interactions in a nonlinear quantum chain of oscillators under the "narrow packet" approximation. We determine the set of times for which the evolution of decay processes is essentially specified by quantum effects. Moreover, we highlight the quantum increment of instability.
We develop an approach to the problem of optimal recovery of continuous linear functionals in Banach spaces through information on a finite number of given functionals. The results obtained are applied to the problem of the best analytic continuation from a finite set in the complex space Cn, n ≥ 1, for classes of entire functions of exponential type which belong to the space Lp, 1 < p < 1, on the real subspace of Cn. These latter are known as Wiener classes.
We consider a boundary value problem for an elliptic differential operator of order 2m in a domain D ⊂ n. The boundary of D is smooth outside a finite number of conical points, and the Lopatinskii condition is fulfilled on the smooth part of δD. The corresponding spaces are weighted Sobolev spaces H(up s,Υ)(D), and this allows one to define ellipticity of weight Υ for the problem. The resolvent of the problem is assumed to possess rays of minimal growth. The main result says that if there are rays of minimal growth with angles between neighbouring rays not exceeding π(Υ + 2m)/n, then the root functions of the problem are complete in L²(D). In the case of second order elliptic equations the results remain true for all domains with Lipschitz boundary.
We show that it is possible to approximate the zeta-function of a curve over a finite field by meromorphic functions which satisfy the same functional equation and moreover satisfy (respectively do not satisfy) an analog of the Riemann hypothesis. In the other direction, it is possible to approximate holomorphic functions by simple manipulations of such a zeta-function. No number theory is required to understand the theorems and their proofs, for it is known that the zeta-functions of curves over finite fields are very explicit meromorphic functions. We study the approximation properties of these meromorphic functions.
In the preceding paper we proved an explicit index formula for elliptic pseudodifferential operators on a two-dimensional manifold with conical points. Apart from the Atiyah-Singer integral, it contains two additional terms, one of the two being the 'eta' invariant defined by the conormal symbol. In this paper we clarify the meaning of the additional terms for differential operators.
In this paper we study the convergence of continuous Newton method for solving nonlinear equations with holomorphic mappings in complex Banach spaces. Our contribution is based on a recent progress in the geometric theory of spirallike functions. We prove convergence theorems and illustrate them by numerical simulations.
On completeness of root functions of Sturm-Liouville problems with discontinuous boundary operators
(2013)
We consider a Sturm-Liouville boundary value problem in a bounded domain D of R-n. By this is meant that the differential equation is given by a second order elliptic operator of divergent form in D and the boundary conditions are of Robin type on partial derivative D. The first order term of the boundary operator is the oblique derivative whose coefficients bear discontinuities of the first kind. Applying the method of weak perturbation of compact selfadjoint operators and the method of rays of minimal growth, we prove the completeness of root functions related to the boundary value problem in Lebesgue and Sobolev spaces of various types.

On completeness of root functions of Sturm-Liouville problems with discontinuous boundary operators
(2012)
We consider a Sturm-Liouville boundary value problem in a bounded domain D of R^n. By this is meant that the differential equation is given by a second order elliptic operator of divergent form in D and the boundary conditions are of Robin type on bD. The first order term of the boundary operator is the oblique derivative whose coefficients bear discontinuities of the first kind. Applying the method of weak perturbation of compact self-adjoint operators and the method of rays of minimal growth, we prove the completeness of root functions related to the boundary value problem in Lebesgue and Sobolev spaces of various types.
We discuss the Cauchy problem for the Dolbeault cohomology in a domain of C n with data on a part of the boundary. In this setting we introduce the concept of a Carleman function which proves useful in the study of uniqueness. Apart from an abstract framework we show explicit Carleman formulas for the Dolbeault cohomology.
The classical Lefschetz formula expresses the number of fixed points of a continuous map f: M -> M in terms of the transformation induced by f on the cohomology of M. In 1966, Atiyah and Bott extended this formula to elliptic complexes over a compact closed manifold. In particular, they obtained a holomorphic Lefschetz formula on compact complex manifolds without boundary. Brenner and Shubin (1981, 1991) extended the Atiyah-Bott theory to compact manifolds with boundary. On compact complex manifolds with boundary the Dolbeault complex is not elliptic, therefore the Atiyah- Bott theory is not applicable. Bypassing difficulties related to the boundary behaviour of Dolbeault cohomology, Donnelly and Fefferman (1986) obtained a formula for the number of fixed points in terms of the Bergman metric. The aim of this paper is to obtain a Lefschetz formula on relatively compact strictly pseudoconvex subdomains of complex manifolds X with smooth boundary, that is, to find the total Lefschetz number for a holomorphic endomorphism f(*) of the Dolbeault complex and to express it in terms of local invariants of the fixed points of f.
We investigate nonlinear problems which appear as Euler-Lagrange equations for a variational problem. They include in particular variational boundary value problems for nonlinear elliptic equations studied by F. Browder in the 1960s. We establish a solvability criterion of such problems and elaborate an efficient orthogonal projection method for constructing approximate solutions.
We study a boundary value problem for an overdetermined elliptic system of nonlinear first order differential equations with linear boundary operators. Such a problem is solvable for a small set of data, and so we pass to its variational formulation which consists in minimising the discrepancy. The Euler-Lagrange equations for the variational problem are far-reaching analogues of the classical Laplace equation. Within the framework of Euler-Lagrange equations we specify an operator on the boundary whose zero set consists precisely of those boundary data for which the initial problem is solvable. The construction of such operator has much in common with that of the familiar Dirichlet to Neumann operator. In the case of linear problems we establish complete results.
We continue our study of invariant forms of the classical equations of mathematical physics, such as the Maxwell equations or the Lam´e system, on manifold with boundary. To this end we interpret them in terms of the de Rham complex at a certain step. On using the structure of the complex we get an insight to predict a degeneracy deeply encoded in the equations. In the present paper we develop an invariant approach to the classical Navier-Stokes equations.

Let X be a smooth n-dimensional manifold and D be an open connected set in X with smooth boundary OD. Perturbing the Cauchy problem for an elliptic system Au = f in D with data on a closed set Gamma subset of partial derivativeD, we obtain a family of mixed problems depending on a small parameter epsilon > 0. Although the mixed problems are subjected to a noncoercive boundary condition on partial derivativeDF in general, each of them is uniquely solvable in an appropriate Hilbert space D-T and the corresponding family {u(epsilon)} of solutions approximates the solution of the Cauchy problem in D-T whenever the solution exists. We also prove that the existence of a solution to the Cauchy problem in D-T is equivalent to the boundedness of the family {u(epsilon)}. We thus derive a solvability condition for the Cauchy problem and an effective method of constructing the solution. Examples for Dirac operators in the Euclidean space R-n are treated. In this case, we obtain a family of mixed boundary problems for the Helmholtz equation
Let X be a smooth n -dimensional manifold and D be an open connected set in X with smooth boundary ∂D. Perturbing the Cauchy problem for an elliptic system Au = f in D with data on a closed set Γ ⊂ ∂D we obtain a family of mixed problems depending on a small parameter ε > 0. Although the mixed problems are subject to a non-coercive boundary condition on ∂D\Γ in general, each of them is uniquely solvable in an appropriate Hilbert space DT and the corresponding family {uε} of solutions approximates the solution of the Cauchy problem in DT whenever the solution exists. We also prove that the existence of a solution to the Cauchy problem in DT is equivalent to the boundedness of the family {uε}. We thus derive a solvability condition for the Cauchy problem and an effective method of constructing its solution. Examples for Dirac operators in the Euclidean space Rn are considered. In the latter case we obtain a family of mixed boundary problems for the Helmholtz equation.
In order to characterise the C*-algebra generated by the singular Bochner-Martinelli integral over a smooth closed hypersurfaces in Cn, we compute its principal symbol. We show then that the Szegö projection belongs to the strong closure of the algebra generated by the singular Bochner-Martinelli integral.
The aim of this book is to develop the Lefschetz fixed point theory for elliptic complexes of pseudodifferential operators on manifolds with edges. The general Lefschetz theory contains the index theory as a special case, while the case to be studied is much more easier than the index problem. The main topics are: - The calculus of pseudodifferential operators on manifolds with edges, especially symbol structures (inner as well as edge symbols). - The concept of ellipticity, parametrix constructions, elliptic regularity in Sobolev spaces. - Hodge theory for elliptic complexes of pseudodifferential operators on manifolds with edges. - Development of the algebraic constructions for these complexes, such as homotopy, tensor products, duality. - A generalization of the fixed point formula of Atiyah and Bott for the case of simple fixed points. - Development of the fixed point formula also in the case of non-simple fixed points, provided that the complex consists of diferential operarators only. - Investigation of geometric complexes (such as, for instance, the de Rham complex and the Dolbeault complex). Results in this direction are desirable because of both purely mathe matical reasons and applications in natural sciences.
Function spaces with asymptotics is a usual tool in the analysis on manifolds with singularities. The asymptotics are singular ingredients of the kernels of pseudodifferential operators in the calculus. They correspond to potentials supported by the singularities of the manifold, and in this form asymptotics can be treated already on smooth configurations. This paper is aimed at describing refined asymptotics in the Dirichlet problem in a ball. The beauty of explicit formulas highlights the structure of asymptotic expansions in the calculi on singular varieties.
The classical Lefschetz fixed point formula expresses the number of fixed points of a continuous map f : M-->M in terms of the transformation induced by f on the cohomology of M. In 1966 Atiyah and Bott extended this formula to elliptic complexes over a compact closed manifold. In particular, they presented a holomorphic Lefschetz formula for compact complex manifolds without boundary, a result, in the framework of algebraic geometry due to Eichler (1957) for holomorphic curves. On compact complex manifolds with boundary the Dolbeault complex is not elliptic, hence the Atiyah- Bott theory is no longer applicable. To get rid of the difficulties related to the boundary behaviour of the Dolbeault cohomology, Donelli and Fefferman (1986) derived a fixed point formula for the Bergman metric. The purpose of this paper is to present a holomorphic Lefschetz formula on a strictly convex domain in C-n, n>1

We study the Neumann problem for the de Rham complex in a bounded domain of Rn with singularities on the boundary. The singularities may be general enough, varying from Lipschitz domains to domains with cuspidal edges on the boundary. Following Lopatinskii we reduce the Neumann problem to a singular integral equation of the boundary. The Fredholm solvability of this equation is then equivalent to the Fredholm property of the Neumann problem in suitable function spaces. The boundary integral equation is explicitly written and may be treated in diverse methods. This way we obtain, in particular, asymptotic expansions of harmonic forms near singularities of the boundary.
We prove the existence of a limit in Hm(D) of iterations of a double layer potential constructed from the Hodge parametrix on a smooth compact manifold with boundary, X, and a crack S ⊂ ∂D, D being a domain in X. Using this result we obtain formulas for Sobolev solutions to the Cauchy problem in D with data on S, for an elliptic operator A of order m ≥ 1, whenever these solutions exist. This representation involves the sum of a series whose terms are iterations of the double layer potential. A similar regularisation is constructed also for a mixed problem in D.
This is a brief survey of a constructive technique of analytic continuation related to an explicit integral formula of Golusin and Krylov (1933). It goes far beyond complex analysis and applies to the Cauchy problem for elliptic partial differential equations as well. As started in the classical papers, the technique is elaborated in generalised Hardy spaces also called Hardy-Smirnov spaces.

For elliptic systems of differential equations on a manifold with boundary, we prove the Fredholm property of a class of boundary problems which do not satisfy the Shapiro-Lopatinskii property. We name these boundary problems generalised elliptic, for they preserve the main properties of elliptic boundary problems. Moreover, they reduce to systems of pseudodifferential operators on the boundary which are generalised elliptic in the sense of Saks (1997).
Formal Poincaré lemma
(2007)
We show how the multiple application of the formal Cauchy-Kovalevskaya theorem leads to the main result of the formal theory of overdetermined systems of partial differential equations. Namely, any sufficiently regular system Au = f with smooth coefficients on an open set U ⊂ Rn admits a solution in smooth sections of a bundle of formal power series, provided that f satisfies a compatibility condition in U.
Formal poincare lemma
(2007)
We consider a resonantly perturbed system of coupled nonlinear oscillators with small dissipation and outer periodic perturbation. We show that for the large time t similar to s(-2) one component of the system is described for the most part by the inhomogeneous Mathieu equation while the other component represents pulsation of large amplitude. A Hamiltonian system is obtained which describes for the most part the behavior of the envelope in a special case. The analytic results agree with numerical simulations.
We show a Lefschetz fixed point formula for holomorphic functions in a bounded domain D with smooth boundary in the complex plane. To introduce the Lefschetz number for a holomorphic map of D, we make use of the Bergman kernel of this domain. The Lefschetz number is proved to be the sum of the usual contributions of fixed points of the map in D and contributions of boundary fixed points, these latter being different for attracting and repulsing fixed points
We consider a homogeneous pseudodifferential equation on a cylinder C = IR x X over a smooth compact closed manifold X whose symbol extends to a meromorphic function on the complex plane with values in the algebra of pseudodifferential operators over X. When assuming the symbol to be independent on the variable t element IR, we show an explicit formula for solutions of the equation. Namely, to each non-bijectivity point of the symbol in the complex plane there corresponds a finite-dimensional space of solutions, every solution being the residue of a meromorphic form manufactured from the inverse symbol. In particular, for differential equations we recover Euler's theorem on the exponential solutions. Our setting is model for the analysis on manifolds with conical points since C can be thought of as a 'stretched' manifold with conical points at t = -infinite and t = infinite.
By quasicomplexes are usually meant perturbations of complexes small in some sense. Of interest are not only perturbations within the category of complexes but also those going beyond this category. A sequence perturbed in this way is no longer a complex, and so it bears no cohomology. We show how to introduce Euler characteristic for small perturbations of Fredholm complexes. The paper is to appear in Funct. Anal. and its Appl., 2006.
Equations of Maxwell type
(2011)
For an elliptic complex of first order differential operators on a smooth manifold X, we define a system of two equations which can be thought of as abstract Maxwell equations. The formal theory of this system proves to be very similar to that of classical Maxwell's equations. The paper focuses on boundary value problems for the abstract Maxwell equations, especially on the Cauchy problem.
We consider quasicomplexes of Boutet de Monvel operators in Sobolev spaces on a smooth compact manifold with boundary. To each quasicomplex we associate two complexes of symbols. One complex is defined on the cotangent bundle of the manifold and the other on that of the boundary. The quasicomplex is elliptic if these symbol complexes are exact away from the zero sections. We prove that elliptic quasicomplexes are Fredholm. As a consequence of this result we deduce that a compatibility complex for an overdetermined elliptic boundary problem operator is also Fredholm. Moreover, we introduce the Euler characteristic for elliptic quasicomplexes of Boutet de Monvel operators.
The inhomogeneous partial derivative-equation is an inexhaustible source of locally unsolvable equations, subelliptic estimates and other phenomena in partial differential equations. Loosely speaking, for the analysis on complex manifolds with boundary nonelliptic problems are typical rather than elliptic ones. Using explicit integral representations we assign a Fredholm complex to the Dolbeault complex over an arbitrary bounded domain in C-n. (C) 2005 WILEY-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim
The inhomogeneous ∂-equations is an inexhaustible source of locally unsolvable equations, subelliptic estimates and other phenomena in partial differential equations. Loosely speaking, for the anaysis on complex manifolds with boundary nonelliptic problems are typical rather than elliptic ones. Using explicit integral representations we assign a Fredholm complex to the Dolbeault complex over an arbitrary bounded domain in C up(n).
The paper is devoted to asymptotic analysis of the Dirichlet problem for a second order partial differential equation containing a small parameter multiplying the highest order derivatives. It corresponds to a small perturbation of a dynamical system having a stationary solution in the domain. We focus on the case where the trajectories of the system go into the domain and the stationary solution is a proper node.
On a compact closed manifold with edges live pseudodifferential operators which are block matrices of operators with additional edge conditions like boundary conditions in boundary value problems. They include Green, trace and potential operators along the edges, act in a kind of Sobolev spaces and form an algebra with a wealthy symbolic structure. We consider complexes of Fréchet spaces whose differentials are given by operators in this algebra. Since the algebra in question is a microlocalization of the Lie algebra of typical vector fields on a manifold with edges, such complexes are of great geometric interest. In particular, the de Rham and Dolbeault complexes on manifolds with edges fit into this framework. To each complex there correspond two sequences of symbols, one of the two controls the interior ellipticity while the other sequence controls the ellipticity at the edges. The elliptic complexes prove to be Fredholm, i.e., have a finite-dimensional cohomology. Using specific tools in the algebra of pseudodifferential operators we develop a Hodge theory for elliptic complexes and outline a few applications thereof.
