Elliptic differential operators and diffusion processes

On Elliptic Differential Operators with Shifts

The motivating point of our research was differential operators on the noncommutative torus studied by Connes [1, 2], who in particular obtained an index formula for such operators. These operators include shifts (more precisely, in this case, irrational rotations); hence our interest in general differential equations with shifts naturally arose. Let M be a smooth closed manifold. We consider o...

The spectral properties of differential operators with matrix coefficients on elliptic systems with boundary conditions

Let $$(Lv)(t)=sum^{n} _{i,j=1} (-1)^{j} d_{j} left( s^{2alpha}(t) b_{ij}(t) mu(t) d_{i}v(t)right),$$ be a non-selfadjoint differential operator on the Hilbert space $L_{2}(Omega)$ with Dirichlet-type boundary conditions. In continuing of papers [10-12], let the conditions made on the operator $ L$ be sufficiently more general than [11] and [12] as defined in Section $1$. In this paper, we estim...

Multilevel methods for nonuniformly elliptic operators and fractional diffusion

We develop and analyze multilevel methods for nonuniformly elliptic operators whose ellipticity holds in a weighted Sobolev space with an A2–Muckenhoupt weight. Using the so-called Xu-Zikatanov (XZ) identity, we derive a nearly uniform convergence result under the assumption that the underlying mesh is quasi-uniform. As an application we also consider the socalled α-harmonic extension to locali...
