We prove interior boundedness and Hölder continuity for the weak solutions of nonlocal double phase equations in the Heisenberg group $\mathbb{H}^n$. This solves a problem raised by Palatucci and Piccinini et al. in 2022 and 2023 for the nonlinear integro-differential problems in Heisenberg setting. Our proof of the a priori estimates bases on De Giorgi–Nash–Moser theory, where the important ingredients are Caccioppoli-type inequality and Logarithmic estimate. To achieve this goal, we establish a new and crucial Sobolev–Poincaré type inequality in local domain, which may be of independent interest and potential applications.
How do children process language as they get older? Is there continuity in the functions assigned to specific structures? And what changes in their processing and their representations as they acquire more language? They appear to use bracketing (finding boundaries), reference (linking to meanings), and clustering (grouping units that belong together) as they analyze the speech stream and extract recurring units, word classes, and larger constructions. Comprehension precedes production. This allows children to monitor and repair production that doesn’t match the adult forms they have represented in memory. Children also track the frequency of types and tokens; they use types in setting up paradigms and identifying regular versus irregular forms. Amount of experience with language, (the diversity of settings) plus feedback and practice, also accounts for individual differences in the paths followed during acquisition. Ultimately, models of the process of acquisition need to incorporate all this to account for how acquisition takes place.
This contribution’s point of departure is a reading of Wittgenstein defended elsewhere, on which Wittgenstein never engaged with semantic skepticism in his texts. While this reading distances Wittgenstein from Kripke, an intriguing indirect connection between their work remains. Certain concepts like regularity, constancy, and (qualitative) sameness play a significant role in addressing questions in the foundations of semantics for Wittgenstein. I discuss how, if Wittgenstein's appeal to these notions is legitimate, they may also be of use in diffusing (the distinctively metaphysical aspects of) semantic skepticism. Along the way, I contrast the resulting position with its nearest historical antecedent in the work of David Lewis, arguing that Lewis’s appeal to metaphysically distinguished properties in the foundations of semantics is not only superfluous, but counterproductive.
We prove topological regularity results for isoperimetric sets in PI spaces having a suitable deformation property, which prescribes a control on the increment of the perimeter of sets under perturbations with balls. More precisely, we prove that isoperimetric sets are open, satisfy boundary density estimates and, under a uniform lower bound on the volumes of unit balls, are bounded. Our results apply, in particular, to the class of possibly collapsed $\mathrm {RCD}(K,N)$ spaces. As a consequence, the rigidity in the isoperimetric inequality on possibly collapsed $\mathrm {RCD}(0,N)$ spaces with Euclidean volume growth holds without the additional assumption on the boundedness of isoperimetric sets. Our strategy is of interest even in the Euclidean setting, as it simplifies some classical arguments.
We develop the theory of relative regular holonomic $\mathcal {D}$-modules with a smooth complex manifold $S$ of arbitrary dimension as parameter space, together with their main functorial properties. In particular, we establish in this general setting the relative Riemann–Hilbert correspondence proved in a previous work in the one-dimensional case.
For a simple bipartite graph G, we give an upper bound for the regularity of powers of the edge ideal
$I(G)$
in terms of its vertex domination number. Consequently, we explicitly compute the regularity of powers of the edge ideal of a bipartite Kneser graph. Further, we compute the induced matching number of a bipartite Kneser graph.
In this paper, we prove the existence and regularity of pullback attractors for non-autonomous nonclassical diffusion equations with nonlocal diffusion when the nonlinear term satisfies critical exponential growth and the external force term $h \in L_{l o c}^{2}(\mathbb {R} ; H^{-1}(\Omega )).$ Under some appropriate assumptions, we establish the existence and uniqueness of the weak solution in the time-dependent space $\mathcal {H}_{t}(\Omega )$ and the existence and regularity of the pullback attractors.
This chapter addresses the puzzling question of why, in his Timaeus, Plato combines two very different topics: a cosmogony and account of the universe, on the one hand, and a story about the moral actions of ancient Athens, Atlantis, and Egypt, on the other. Sattler argues that the key to understanding the relation between these two parts is recognition that, in Plato’s view, they confront us with a structurally similar problem: how we are to account for the intelligibility of processes in the phenomenal world. Sattler shows that Plato no longer chooses to solve this problem by tying intelligibility to complete uniformity, as he did in the Republic, but by tying intelligibility to a rule – to norms and laws for actions in the human cultural realm, and to ratios and descriptive rules for the motions of the heavenly bodies in the natural realm. While Plato also accounts for the concerns specific to ethics and physics, the attempt to understand processes raises similar problems for him in both realms. Recurring natural catastrophes, such as floods and fires, appear as one kind of natural regularity in this Platonic account.
The first task in explaining parliamentary emergence is accounting for the regularity of the institution. The chapter advances a theory of functional fusion and institutional layering to explain why England developed a robust parliament, while France, which began with a very similar institution, did not. It begins by discussing some key necessary conditions, that of state power and related concepts, and by specifying the dependent variable, polity-wide representative institutions. The chapter then examines alternative explanations to show how they don't satisfactorily answer the three main questions regarding origins (regularity, the collective action problem, and territorial anchoring). The last part addresses the problem of regularity. It first presents data showing that taxation was too irregular to generate a robust institution and then presents the incentives that led especially more powerful groups, namely the nobility, to attend the institution regularly. Parliament dispensed legislation and justice and was the main forum for the submission of petitions, the universal medium of grievance that was at the core of parliamentary procedures.
This paper deals with the logistic Keller–Segel model
\[ \begin{cases} u_t = \Delta u - \chi \nabla\cdot(u\nabla v) + \kappa u - \mu u^2, \\ v_t = \Delta v - v + u \end{cases} \]
in bounded two-dimensional domains (with homogeneous Neumann boundary conditions and for parameters χ, κ ∈ ℝ and μ > 0), and shows that any nonnegative initial data (u0, v0) ∈ L1 × W1,2 lead to global solutions that are smooth in $\bar {\Omega }\times (0,\infty )$.
Order, in the sense of arrangement, structure, coordination, or sequence, arises in many fields and at all scales. It is found with varying degrees of perfection in many if not most subjects for microscopy, can take many forms, and can be challenging to recognize or to measure. A variety of examples are provided that are intended to make the reader more aware of the possibilities.
The monograph ‘Abstract Regular Polytopes’ described the rich abstract theory, of which some basics are needed here. A new recursive definition is given, which corresponds more closely than that of the monograph to one’s intuitive idea of what a polytope should be. Regularity of abstract polytopes and the central idea of string C-groups are then introduced, and it is shown that the two concepts are equivalent. The intersection property defines a C-group; various conditions on a group are established that ensure it, in particular some quotient criteria. Presentations of the groups of regular polytopes are treated next, including the circuit criterion, and some related general concepts and notation are introduced. Maps or polyhedra, the polytopes of rank three, form an important class of regular polytopes; some of their properties and some useful examples are described. There is a brief discussion of amalgamation (constructing polytopes with given facets and vertex-figures) and universality. Finally, there is a treatment of certain special properties of regular polytopes, such as central symmetry, flatness and collapsibility.
where λ > 0 is a real parameter, f belongs to a suitable Lebesgue space, $\mu \in L^{\infty}$ and $\mathbb {D}_s^2$ is a nonlocal ‘gradient square’ term given by
Depending on the real parameter λ > 0, we derive existence and non-existence results. The proof of our existence result relies on sharp Calderón–Zygmund type regularity results for the fractional Poisson equation with low integrability data. We also obtain existence results for related problems involving different nonlocal diffusion terms.

In this chapter we investigate the regularityproperties of the sub-Riemannian distance from afixed point. In particular, we prove that thesub-Riemannian distance is smooth on an open anddense subset of every compact ball, but as soon asthe distribution is not full dimensional at thepoint, every level set of the distance contains anondifferentiability point of the distanceitself.
In this paper we study constrained variational problems that are principally motivated by nonlinear elasticity theory. We examine, in particular, the relationship between the positivity of the Jacobian det ∇u and the uniqueness and regularity of energy minimizers u that are either twist maps or shear maps. We exhibit explicit twist maps, defined on two-dimensional annuli, that are stationary points of an appropriate energy functional and whose Jacobian vanishes on a set of positive measure in the annulus. Within the class of shear maps we precisely characterize the unique global energy minimizer $u_{\sigma }: \Omega \to {\open R}^2$ in a model, two-dimensional case. We exploit the Jacobian constraint $\det \nabla u_{\sigma} \gt 0$ a.e. to obtain regularity results that apply ‘up to the boundary’ of domains with corners. It is shown that the unique shear map minimizer has the properties that (i) $\det \nabla u_{\sigma }$ is strictly positive on one part of the domain Ω, (ii) $\det \nabla u_{\sigma } = 0$ necessarily holds on the rest of Ω, and (iii) properties (i) and (ii) combine to ensure that $\nabla u_{\sigma }$ is not continuous on the whole domain.

Let $R$ be a ring and $b,c\in R$. In this paper, we give some characterizations of the $(b,c)$-inverse in terms of the direct sum decomposition, the annihilator, and the invertible elements. Moreover, elements with equal $(b,c)$-idempotents related to their $(b,c)$-inverses are characterized, and the reverse order rule for the $(b,c)$-inverse is considered.
We present an analysis of convergence of a quasi-regression Monte Carlo method proposed by Glasserman and Yu (2004). We show that the method surely converges to the true price of an American option even under multiple underlyings via polynomial chaos expansion and weaker conditions than those used in Glasserman and Yu (2004). Further, we show the number of simulation paths grows exponentially in the number of basis functions to obtain convergence in implementing the method. Finally, we propose a rate of convergence considering regularity of value functions.
We introduce the notion of regularity for a relative holonomic ${\mathcal{D}}$-module in the sense of Monteiro Fernandes and Sabbah [Internat. Math. Res. Not. (21) (2013), 4961–4984]. We prove that the solution functor from the bounded derived category of regular relative holonomic modules to that of relative constructible complexes is essentially surjective by constructing a right quasi-inverse functor. When restricted to relative ${\mathcal{D}}$-modules underlying a regular mixed twistor ${\mathcal{D}}$-module, this functor satisfies the left quasi-inverse property.
