    Polynomial stability of operator semigroups

    No full text
    We investigate polynomial decay of classical solutions of linear evolution equations. For bounded strongly continuous semigroups on a Banach space this property is closely related to polynomial growth estimates of the resolvent of the generator. For systems of commuting normal operators polynomial decay is characterized in terms of the location of the generator spectrum. The results are applied to systems of coupled wave-type equations

    LpL^p regularity for elliptic operators with unbounded coefficients

    Under suitable conditions on the functions a, F and V we show that the operator Au = ∇(a∇u) + F · ∇u − V u with domain W^{2,p} intersected with the domai of the potential V generates a positive analytic semigroup on Lp, 1 < p < ∞. Analogous results are also established in the spaces L1 and C0. As an application we show that the generalized Ornstein–Uhlenbeck operator AΦ,Gu = Δu − ∇Φ · ∇u + G · ∇u with domain W2,p(RN, μ) generates an analytic semigroup on the weighted space Lp(RN, μ), where 1 < p < ∞ and μ(dx) = e −Φ(x)dx

    L_p regularity for elliptic operators with unbounded coefficients

    In this paper we prove the generation of positive and analytic semigroups in Lp(RN),10L^p(\R^N), 10 and θU+divF0\theta U+div F\ge 0 for some θ<p\theta <p. Analogous results are also established in the spaces L1(RN)L^1(\R^N) and C0(RN)C_0(\R^N). The proofs are based essentially on an interpolation inequality between UU and U1/2U^{1/2}. As an application we show that the generalized Ornstein-Uhlenbeck operator Lu=ΔuΦu+GuLu=\Delta u-\nabla \Phi \cdot \nabla u+G\cdot \nabla u with domain W2,p(RN,μ)W^{2,p}(\R^N,\mu) generates an analytic semigroup on the weighted space Lp(RN,μ),1<p<L^p(\R^N,\mu), 1<p<\infty, where μ(dx)=eΦ(x)dx\mu(dx)=e^{-\Phi(x)}dx

    Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis

    The present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
