00:06

so

00:06

it's my great pleasure to introduce

00:09

today's speaker

00:10

i'll be brief because we all know

00:14

him very well so okay

00:17

uh received his phd at the quran long

00:21

time ago

00:22

and he joined the ruckus from

00:25

1990 and he he has been

00:29

distinguished professor there from 2000

00:33

and he hold

00:36

many guest positions including

00:40

the one at the beijing normal university

00:45

he received many honors and among those

00:48

are

00:48

simon's fellow this year and the

00:51

inaugural class of fellows

00:54

from american mass society and he is on

00:57

the editorial boards of many journals

01:00

including

01:01

advances in mass

01:06

as we all know the union made tremendous

01:09

contributions to

01:10

advancement of the

01:13

pd's geometry and the theory

01:17

i mean analysis of pdes lately he has

01:20

been

01:21

producing some breakthrough results on

01:24

pde

01:26

arising from mechanics especially

01:29

the theory of composite materials today

01:32

he will talk

01:33

on this which i'm eager to

01:37

hear and then all yours

01:41

thank you humber and thank you very much

01:43

for the

01:45

kind introduction and

01:48

it's a great pleasure for me to be here

01:51

to see you

01:52

and to see many friends and

01:56

so i will share the screen

02:00

now so today uh i will talk about

02:04

this greeting estimates

02:07

for the insulated conductivity problem i

02:10

will explain

02:12

uh what it is so i will

02:15

i will mention uh some earlier results

02:19

and then we'll we'll be

02:23

uh talking about a recent result with uh

02:27

with my students drawing young on this

02:30

problem so first i will restrict to

02:35

mainly just the greeting estimates so uh

02:38

we know that for harmonic functions

02:42

if you you are if we are in the domain

02:44

and if we are given any control

02:47

in low norms for example it's one norm

02:50

l2 norm

02:51

and then when we go to the interior we

02:54

will have

02:55

higher derivative estimates so for

02:58

instance the gradient estimates

03:02

and so

03:05

in in a bounty domain

03:08

and uh if we look at the

03:12

divergence form elliptic equations of

03:16

second order

03:19

so the coefficient is elliptic

03:23

so this matrix is symmetric and have a

03:25

positive and

03:27

lower bounded upper bound and we give

03:30

some

03:30

regularity not only our infinity gives

03:33

some

03:33

continuity for instance gradient bounded

03:38

then if we have h1 norm

03:42

bounded by one when we go to interior

03:46

we will have and we will have a

03:50

gradient estimate

03:54

so so the cur if the coefficient

03:58

is not so smooth so

04:01

so still in abundant domain

04:04

still elliptic we have uniform

04:07

ellipticity

04:10

and second order divergence form

04:13

equation

04:15

and give control of h1 funded

04:19

then the georgie nash theory

04:25

will tell us that there is a

04:29

holder estimate the holder exponent

04:32

depends on

04:34

the electricity

04:37

so the

04:40

this alpha in general cannot

04:44

reach one so it's a it

04:47

we know that so so it will depend on

04:49

this ellipticity

04:53

so there's one situation which

04:58

which comes from at at least coming from

05:01

uh the study of uh composite material

05:05

so it's like this so we are

05:09

in a domain so this omega is the bigger

05:12

one

05:13

so this is a unit size it's like a take

05:15

a ball

05:16

of radius 10 for example and

05:20

there are two inclusions they are unit

05:23

size they are not very very tiny

05:25

so they are unit size boundary are

05:27

smooth

05:29

and this is another one

05:32

boundary smooth unit size but they are

05:36

they can be getting close so this is the

05:39

epsilon is small so the distance between

05:42

them

05:42

are small so and

05:46

in the limit situation they can't even

05:48

touch

05:50

so the coefficients we are given

05:54

are piecewise constant

05:57

so let's say inside here

06:01

we have a k and here we have a k

06:04

and outside we have a one so

06:07

the k is greater than zero

06:11

and less than infinity so they are

06:13

elliptic so this is elliptic

06:16

and uh but the coefficient is

06:20

l infinity coefficient of l infinity

06:23

in general so well it's better than our

06:26

infinitive

06:29

but it's not yeah so

06:33

so so if you control

06:37

if you are given h1 control now the

06:40

question

06:40

is do we know that

06:44

uh l infinity is under control so

06:48

the main point is this you

06:51

the question is you want this constant

06:54

to be independent of epsilon you want

06:57

this constant to be independent of

06:59

epsilon

07:00

so that's the question so this

07:03

does not follows from the georgia

07:06

national theory

07:08

the general theoretical theory because

07:11

uh

07:11

uh there will only get older

07:15

but but but there the coefficients are

07:18

allowed to be in all l

07:21

infinite coefficients so here the

07:24

discontinuity is rather special

07:26

it occurs across a smooth surface

07:31

so if allowing this epsilon

07:35

depending on epsilon

07:38

allowing this constant depending on

07:42

epsilon so this result was known

07:46

much earlier so it was

07:49

this is the rather classical

07:52

it's called transmission problem so

07:55

so the the transmission problem

07:59

uh the transmission problem

08:04

will give you a constant which depends

08:06

on

08:07

epsilon so the for example it is uh uh

08:12

i so i i think this goes back to at

08:15

least

08:16

1960s at least i think there

08:19

this was well understood already

08:23

so the solutions were known

08:26

back then already known that the

08:29

solution

08:30

will be piecewise

08:33

in this case will be piecewise smooth

08:36

actually

08:37

after the boundary and in here piecewise

08:40

moves

08:40

up to the boundary and another the other

08:43

wall piecewise moves up to the boundary

08:45

and across the normal uh

08:49

across here the normal derivative

08:53

has a gap

09:00

so then

09:04

so evo babushka and collaborators that

09:09

there were

09:10

uh two papers i think and uh

09:13

in 1999 quite uh some time ago

09:17

so the in the paper the paper they have

09:21

uh

09:22

is about uh so the title of the paper is

09:26

it's called damage analysis of fiber

09:28

composites

09:30

part one statistical analysis and fiber

09:32

scale

09:33

so there they used

09:36

the lamest system to make a model

09:40

so this is a homogeneous

09:43

isotropic linear system of

09:47

elasticity which i will write down the

09:50

equation

09:51

so they use this as a model

09:54

and they observed numerically

09:57

that for linear system of

10:01

elasticity l infinity norm

10:06

of the gradient is actually

10:10

independent of epsilon so it's

10:12

independent of epsilon

10:15

so uh

10:19

my colleague michael vogelis

10:23

and uh bernie taye they have a

10:27

work on the first work

10:30

on such situation to to see

10:34

whether one can prove uh this

10:37

rigorously so

10:41

actually they were both former student

10:43

of

10:44

evo babushka and

10:49

so they proved they started with two

10:51

dimension

10:52

in two dimension if we take

10:55

two unit ball and let it touch

10:59

each other so

11:03

and you take a unit size to man uh yeah

11:05

you take a domain okay

11:07

so then you take ellipticity k inside

11:12

k here it's okay to take

11:15

three different positive constants so i

11:17

just take simple

11:18

simple one to take one

11:22

here so we are having a piecewise

11:25

constant

11:26

coefficient and this is the equation

11:30

and assume that you have a h1 solution

11:35

and they prove that the gradient is

11:38

l infinity so namely so the main thing

11:42

is here

11:43

so the main thing is here so l infinity

11:46

so means

11:47

mainly is here so gradient u is

11:50

l infinity because as we said by the

11:54

classical transmission problem we

11:56

know that away from this starting point

11:59

everything is fine everything is fine

12:07

so since the proof was using

12:12

complex variable because in

12:14

two-dimension

12:15

a harmonic function so this will be

12:17

harmonic

12:19

here a harmonic function it can be

12:21

linked to

12:22

a holomorphic function the real part

12:25

of homomorphic function so so

12:28

the so michael

12:32

uh uh told me this problem

12:36

yeah so showed me the results

12:39

and uh well actually at the time

12:44

so i was quite surprised to see this

12:47

result

12:48

and uh so wondering you know whether

12:51

there's a pde theory of it so i've never

12:53

seen such a result before

12:55

so and so then michael

12:58

and i uh worked on that

13:01

and and have a pde result

13:05

so namely if we look at

13:08

second order divergence form elliptic

13:11

equations

13:12

in all dimensions with piecewise smooth

13:15

coefficients

13:16

like the the domain

13:19

geometry are like what we described if

13:22

before

13:23

like this so piecewise smooth

13:26

coefficients up to the boundary

13:28

piecewise most

13:30

and they are elliptic diverse form and

13:33

in that case

13:34

indeed gradient u is bounded

13:38

is bounded independent of the distance

13:41

epsilon

13:41

and when they are touching greeting u is

13:44

in

13:45

l infinity

13:48

and uh so that because when we

13:51

through that our starting point actually

13:53

is the is

13:55

the georgie nash so it does it did uses

13:58

the

14:00

elliptic equation so it didn't uh uh

14:03

one need for for linear system

14:06

of elasticity uh like

14:09

the main system so one needs to

14:13

uh to do some

14:16

different things so so then with uh

14:19

louis nuremberg

14:20

so we proved uh such a result for

14:23

divergence form

14:25

elliptic systems with piecewise smooth

14:27

coefficients so which include

14:29

linear system of elasticity

14:34

so about linear system of elasticity

14:38

so so it it is such equation

14:42

so so so the number of

14:45

unknowns is x1 through xn

14:49

and the number of equations is u1 and un

14:52

so the number of equations uh

14:56

and the number of unknowns are the same

14:59

so

15:00

so here is uh um by

15:04

it is a so so here

15:07

running through and by and and this is

15:09

running through and backend

15:11

so we have n unknowns and equations so

15:13

this corresponds to

15:15

any equations and equations any

15:18

equations and unknowns

15:20

so so

15:23

so the so the ellipticity

15:26

is given by a i j alpha beta you

15:31

test against symmetric

15:35

matrices so we have positivity

15:39

so that that is called

15:42

a linear system of elasticity the

15:45

elliptic one so

15:47

so for system there's one type which is

15:50

strong stronger is called strongly

15:54

uh uniformly elliptic so

15:58

which is tested for all

16:02

matrices and here you don't impose this

16:05

symmetry this symmetry is you see that

16:08

you switch

16:09

i j alpha beta you you see i j

16:12

and alpha beta you it's the same yeah

16:15

and here you can switch

16:16

i and alpha so this corresponds to

16:20

the invariance when you set up the

16:22

problem uh

16:23

model the problem uh one has translation

16:26

in variance and rotation environs

16:28

so so this invariance will give your

16:31

equation some

16:32

uh environments

16:36

the main system is a is a

16:39

it's an important uh case

16:43

and uh so it is like this this is you

16:46

you still have n you have n variable

16:48

this is laplacian u

16:50

as a vector to do divergence and take

16:53

gradient and ellipticity is

16:56

this is positive and lambda n is the

16:58

dimension and this is

17:00

this is ellipticity so when we try to so

17:04

when we

17:04

try to prove some results we first look

17:07

at the

17:08

equation case like a conductivity case

17:11

so that's a scalar equation and when we

17:13

go to system

17:15

and we we certainly want to look at this

17:18

system first

17:20

like like in babushka's uh

17:26

they use this first okay

17:31

so after so let's go back to the uh

17:35

conductivity problem first the scalar

17:37

equation

17:38

so we come back to the geometry

17:42

so we have a domain which is a smooth

17:46

nice one

17:47

unit size and d1 is a

17:50

domain d2 is a domain unit size

17:55

and epsilon is the distance so

17:58

here the epsilon will be small

18:02

so epsilon positive will be small so you

18:05

are interested in

18:06

obtaining estimates um

18:09

either abstract independent or pin down

18:13

the dependence on epsilon well

18:18

so

18:26

so let's for simplicities for from now

18:29

on let's just look at

18:31

uh d1 d2 for simplicity let's just

18:35

think of it them as a strictly convex

18:41

so things you know can be done for more

18:45

general for some

18:46

some results but let's just take it for

18:50

simplest case so then

18:54

this is the setup we have k inside

18:57

ellipticity

18:58

k here and the one so it's a

19:01

transmission problem

19:02

and we would like we are interested in

19:04

the quantitative control

19:07

of the gradient mainly say in terms of

19:11

epsilon and k for instance because when

19:14

k

19:14

goes to infinity uh ellipticity

19:17

deteriorates

19:18

and also when k goes to zero electricity

19:21

deteriorates

19:23

so well for the equation the maximum

19:27

principle immediately gives

19:30

that's an independent l infinity norm

19:33

and the gradient as we mentioned

19:36

gradient l

19:37

infinity is bounded

19:40

by a constant depending on k

19:44

so one asks naturally

19:48

say what happens for k goes to infinity

19:51

and

19:52

in particular for k equal to infinity

19:56

or for k goes to 0 in particular for k

20:00

equal to 0 so

20:03

so for the conductivity this is the

20:06

perfect conducted conductor case is the

20:08

insulated conductor case

20:10

so for k go equal to infinity

20:17

so for k equal to infinity

20:20

and uh we

20:23

here actually the results here stated

20:25

does require

20:27

strictly convex otherwise the rate will

20:29

be different but one can also capture

20:31

the rate

20:32

so so let's first start from k equal to

20:35

infinity

20:38

so for k equal to infinity so inside

20:41

we have infinity infinitives infinity

20:44

inside two balls

20:46

one outside so one infinity

20:50

infinity so of course uh

20:55

this does not

20:59

make much sense it looks like but you

21:01

can

21:02

you you you can define it in the

21:04

following way you take a k

21:07

you take a k and put a boundary

21:09

condition like that you solve it

21:10

uniquely

21:11

and you send k to infinity

21:14

and this uk will goes to you so uniquely

21:18

so it you can take it as definition or

21:23

you can define it by inside a constant

21:27

inside here some constant the constant

21:31

the two constants are determined by

21:34

two non load line local boundary

21:37

conditions the normal

21:39

integrating and here the flux you

21:42

integrate it it should be zero

21:44

so these two conditions pin down

21:47

uniquely

21:48

the two constants inside so that's the

21:50

solution so two equivalent definition

21:54

there are some there are some uh

22:01

these are more from engineering

22:03

direction one of them

22:05

is a book perhaps this one i think this

22:08

one is the book

22:08

is a book and this one is a paper

22:12

so there they they produce

22:15

special solution in the case n

22:18

equal to two they produce solution

22:24

that

22:26

the rate is like this when f1 goes to 0

22:29

the gradient u will be

22:30

like this so then

22:34

so the first work is by amari khan

22:38

and lim so they look at the

22:42

in r2 and a global situation and they

22:46

pin down that

22:47

the rate in this both

22:50

i think so they pin down the rate is

22:54

exactly that yeah

22:57

so then uh

23:00

then when eventually the

23:05

the result is in

23:08

go to all dimensions and can be

23:10

localized

23:11

and this is ellen

23:21

so so the the result is

23:25

in two dimension it is that and

23:29

this is epsilon log epsilon in three

23:31

dimension

23:32

and in four dimension and up it

23:36

is 1 0 epsilon

23:39

so the the rate is getting worse here

23:44

so and this is actually optimal in the

23:49

sense that

23:50

you are able to find boundary value fee

23:54

so that you actually reach

23:58

this rate so

24:05

so so so these rates are known

24:09

now to be optimal

24:12

well it is also oh

24:15

let's uh for linear system of elasticity

24:19

so this is the system oh

24:21

as we said yeah so as we said

24:24

if we take three elliptic constants

24:27

so finite case so like uh three

24:32

sets of numbers so inside d1 you have

24:35

one set of mu and

24:37

lambda the main constants inside d2 you

24:40

have a second

24:41

set of learning constants instead

24:44

outside the two you have the third set

24:47

so

24:48

then you know that gradient you

24:51

are bounded

24:54

depending on the ellipticity so this

24:57

this was

24:59

and

25:03

for the infinity so if you if we make

25:08

them to infinity inside

25:11

so one can also define it by taking mu

25:15

and n lambda plus 2 mu you you have a

25:18

unique solution

25:19

and then you send

25:23

this ellipticity go to infinity

25:27

it will pin down one's unique solution

25:30

so in that case

25:32

if we look at the lame system

25:35

and uh so it was proved

25:39

that jiguan bao and haigan li and

25:42

so the rates are

25:45

similar are the same as in the uh for

25:48

the conductivity

25:50

scalar case still angle 2 is this rate

25:56

so how about the

25:59

for k goes to infinity and for k goes to

26:03

zero

26:04

so

26:08

in that case so if k goes to

26:11

infinity for k goes to infinity

26:15

and in dimension 2 well the right rate

26:18

is actually here so c is independent of

26:21

k

26:21

epsilon of course uh i i think here

26:25

should be

26:26

this so uh okay

26:29

so really i think it's one okay so

26:33

yeah so that's certainly should be

26:35

square epsilon

26:36

so and uh

26:39

so this was first uh

26:43

identified uh

26:46

by amari khan lim and amari kang lee lee

26:49

and lim in a two-dimensional case

26:52

in a r2 and minus two balls

26:57

this was identified and and they they

27:00

could

27:01

so the proof is much more than that so

27:04

they can

27:05

pin down much more different radius and

27:07

so on

27:08

different k 1 k 2 and so on

27:11

so then a proof

27:14

also localized and proof with general

27:17

domain

27:18

in two dimension was made by hunji

27:21

doom and hai gandhi and

27:24

[Music]

27:27

sorry and

27:30

so this 2d this was settled

27:35

so for an equal greater equal than 3

27:37

this

27:38

is still not not

27:41

no so what are the what should be the

27:44

right

27:44

rate and when we have both

27:48

epsilon k so that's not known

27:53

for example if we keep k equal to

27:56

positive constants we see that

28:00

this rate the greeting is bounded

28:03

because this will take over yeah so it's

28:06

bounded

28:07

if we take k equal to infinity this term

28:10

is not there

28:11

so epsilon we see

28:14

gradient epsilon square root rate

28:17

so so in general when we had results

28:20

earlier for k

28:22

for fixed constant and for k equal to

28:25

infinity

28:26

it is desirable to have a uniform

28:29

rate with both epsilon k

28:32

dependence so that like this

28:35

yeah but that's uh not known

28:39

yet and it's certainly interesting

28:43

to pursue

28:46

so for k equal to 0

28:50

this is a insulated case

28:55

so for n equal to 2

28:59

so in r2 so we take a harmonic function

29:04

fix any harmonic function and at

29:06

infinity

29:08

we assume they go to they have the same

29:12

ux goes to h

29:16

then in that case it was proved by

29:19

in the same paper by

29:24

these authors and uh

29:27

the same paper mentioned earlier and we

29:29

have this rate

29:31

so actually this problem in this case is

29:34

dual

29:35

to the k equal to infinity case it's a

29:37

dual problem so therefore they have the

29:39

same

29:40

so in two dimensions it's a dual so

29:43

for k equal to 0

29:48

and for insulated case

29:52

so for n greater equal than two so

29:57

there yes

30:00

this is zero k equal to zero so you have

30:02

zero zero one

30:04

so this case so a rate was

30:08

given so by the in this

30:11

paper so the rate was given

30:17

n equal to 2 is sharp and i said here

30:20

this is sharp

30:23

so but in for a while

30:26

it is not known whether n greater or

30:29

equal than three

30:30

is sharp so

30:50

oh this is for k goes to 0.

30:54

so so for k goes to 0

30:58

so this rate

31:01

is like this so this is due actually

31:06

and uh so

31:09

here and uh this is c

31:12

over that and so and

31:16

and this is proved by but this is in the

31:19

met

31:20

mentioned earlier that those papers they

31:24

they they they treated both k goes to

31:26

infinity

31:27

and k goes to 0.

31:31

and this is a separate

31:37

so for k equal to 0

31:41

and insulated case for n greater equal

31:45

than three

31:46

is that sharp so this is the wrong date

31:48

so this should be zero

31:51

so then

31:55

so this this has not been known for a

31:57

while

31:58

and in 2016

32:02

yun examined a situation in

32:07

r3 so

32:11

in r3 we take two balls

32:15

and the epsilon apart and we take

32:19

zero zero inside therefore

32:22

what one has is a neumann condition

32:26

outside on the boundary this is on the

32:29

boundary

32:30

and laplacian u equal to 0

32:34

outside exterior domain harmonic

32:36

function

32:37

and at infinity the rate that you

32:40

approach

32:41

and why are close together why is a

32:43

harmonic function

32:44

so they are close together and in that

32:47

case

32:50

showed both sides both sides

32:54

the rate is not c over root epsilon

32:58

the rate is actually this number

33:01

so the rate is 2 minus

33:05

root 2 divided by 2. so yeah

33:12

so

33:16

so this number is less than one half so

33:19

so it's it's better it doesn't uh

33:21

it's not as bad as square root

33:25

so so recently um

33:29

young

33:34

he's my current student and uh

33:38

so we proved that

33:41

in n greater or equal than three indeed

33:44

the problem the estimate

33:48

is not optimal so this estimate can be

33:50

higher be

33:51

improved

33:55

so the improvement is by a number of

33:58

beta

33:58

depending on the dimension and the

34:01

domain

34:03

so one can improve a beta since this

34:05

result works not only for laplacian

34:08

we can have piecewise uh we can have

34:11

second order divergence form

34:14

elliptical equations here uh we smooth

34:18

coefficient after the boundary so it's

34:19

still

34:20

like this so one can improve

34:24

but we our proof as i will show

34:28

does not give a good

34:32

bomb for example it's not like this for

34:35

example in this case

34:37

we are not able to say it is this bomb

34:40

or or so our bond is not not

34:44

as good yeah so we can write down a bond

34:47

it's it's not

34:48

a the method you know will give an

34:50

explicit bound

34:52

but that bound is is certainly far from

34:54

uh

35:00

optimal

35:02

okay so so me i'll say about

35:06

a proof

35:09

so so let's just take a simpler

35:14

uh everywhere i will keep simplifying

35:17

things

35:18

so let's say uh we take a set up this is

35:22

a dividing surface so the blue one

35:25

uh enlarged picture of these two so

35:29

what what i draw is here

35:32

the blue one here and blue one here

35:36

and we have some epsilon distance so we

35:39

just

35:40

enlarge there so to draw it bigger and

35:44

so this part is epsilon so this part is

35:47

like

35:48

epsilon and we just take say

35:52

a paraboloid a paraboloid

35:57

and this is minus paraboloid so we take

36:02

we take any point here we are going to

36:05

make an estimate for greeting there

36:08

so we are going to estimate the gradient

36:09

there so

36:11

we will prove this there's a beta so

36:14

in fact we prove the estimates give this

36:17

this is the more natural quantity

36:19

so this is smaller than this epsilon

36:22

plus so

36:22

when we go out this number will become

36:26

us a better better

36:29

which is natural

36:32

so so let's take a point

36:36

we take a point here so this height

36:41

will be proportional we take this height

36:46

basically it's like this height more or

36:47

less like this height

36:49

proportional to

36:53

yeah proportional to that

36:57

yeah proportional to that so so this is

37:00

proportional to that

37:01

so we take this height so we are

37:05

in the in the volume we are going to

37:07

take a gamma so we are going to work

37:09

with a small gamma so this gamma

37:12

the choice of the gamma will enter into

37:15

uh

37:15

the this beta value also yeah

37:19

so so we are going to take a smaller

37:22

gamma

37:24

and we are going to work in order to

37:27

estimate this point we are going to work

37:30

with uh

37:36

we are going to work with uh

37:40

like a cylinder type domain like like

37:42

this

37:43

yeah like this region we are going to

37:45

work inside that

37:46

a shape like that and the r we are going

37:50

to take

37:50

r is some with the right scale so

37:54

we take the we work with this r

37:59

so then we

38:09

then we prove a hanak so

38:12

so without loss of generality we assume

38:14

u is between 0 and 1

38:16

so it's positive so we can

38:19

uh yeah so this

38:23

this is the shape so this is the shape

38:26

2r

38:26

so so the shape is 2r is is this

38:30

shape is this shape with

38:35

so so this this lens

38:38

this radius is like a r yeah 2r and then

38:42

minus

38:43

of r over 4. so it's like a annulus

38:46

ring type shape so on that shape

38:51

if you assume the top has a

38:55

normal derivative equal to 0 so when i

39:00

have hanukkah i have this harness

39:07

well uh the way i say

39:11

okay yeah yes yeah so we have this

39:14

hanukkah

39:15

so this constant depends on epsilon

39:17

independent epsilon r and u

39:19

so this c goes into that gain

39:23

of beta so so so yeah

39:26

so that's why our beta is not so uh

39:29

so so good so so

39:32

not not not optimal not optimal yeah

39:36

so so for simplicity let's simply take

39:40

this x zero or two behind the center

39:43

to be at the center so take take this so

39:45

this third time should be the square

39:47

root

39:49

of epsilon yeah so

39:54

so so then the shape

39:57

here so

40:00

we have a once we have this harness

40:05

maximum principle will tell us that

40:10

the soup will be bounded by inf

40:13

for the whole thing for the whole not

40:16

only the

40:16

cell i mean for the whole thing you have

40:19

so once you have this hanak

40:21

for the whole thing oscillation will

40:24

decay

40:25

we will get a beta prime gamma prime

40:28

beta prime

40:30

so so this number also

40:34

goes into the game

40:39

so without any work this oscillation

40:42

is bounded by a constant so with that

40:46

we are going what one obtained

40:50

a square one over square root so

40:54

by working with the domain

40:57

with actual height and square root

41:00

epsilon

41:02

radius so it's kind of flat region in

41:04

that region so

41:06

so all the transformations are not

41:08

singular so it worked well

41:10

so here

41:13

here we if we want to gain we want we

41:15

need to go out

41:17

larger so to get control

41:21

so once we have this we are getting

41:25

the control what we want

41:28

so we can make a transformation

41:32

and flatten that part so we can we can

41:35

we can we can take a region like

41:39

this is epsilon and

41:43

we can take a region

41:47

to be root epsilon should be okay so we

41:49

take root epsilon

41:50

and this the kind of fat uh like that

41:54

and uh and and then we can transform

41:58

to here so it will be become such

42:01

equations

42:02

so so that

42:05

so the bottom is a unit size

42:09

because you see this ratio is root

42:11

epsilon

42:12

so this is this height is root epsilon

42:15

so

42:16

so it's a unit disk and the height is

42:20

root epsilon

42:22

and then on this here you have we have

42:25

normal derivative equal to 0

42:27

and we have a elliptic equation of

42:29

divergence form

42:30

and this aij is good is icon holder

42:36

when you make this transformation in

42:37

this scale you can keep

42:40

aij holder so in this situation

42:44

then one has estimates

42:48

like this so we are able to control

42:51

so for example in our case we can take

42:54

this as zero actually

42:55

so i think in this case then you don't

42:58

we don't even have this part

43:00

those we can take as zero so therefore

43:04

we can control the gradient uh like this

43:08

or or we can take here if we normalize

43:12

properly uh between

43:16

yeah so yeah we will see this we are

43:19

going

43:19

so when we you we normalize we can

43:22

normalize property we can

43:23

take gradient estimates you can always

43:25

insert a constant

43:27

so we are going to see at the top

43:30

we see this l infinity this

43:33

so so we gain so we get so here we will

43:37

get

43:38

epsilon to some beta

43:41

so the whole thing so when we scale back

43:44

we are having

43:45

when we scale back so we have

43:49

another root epsilon and we get our

43:51

result so

43:52

this so then so so this estimate

43:56

is by some

43:59

results uh in our earlier uh

44:02

work with uh um mongalis and nuremberg

44:06

so yeah able to

44:09

control obtain such estimates so

44:14

so that gives the proof here

44:17

so that's just the beginning somehow

44:21

a step and

44:24

uh so for instance natural question is

44:27

whether or not

44:28

one can obtain some result like i

44:31

you know for example in such in this

44:33

case

44:35

is it possible to actually get this rate

44:38

or to look at linear system of

44:42

elasticity

44:43

can one get such rate

44:48

so for linear system of elasticity uh

44:51

uh one

44:54

one we do not know uh

44:58

uh such result so because

45:01

because we have used uh we have used

45:05

maximum principle it

45:08

it for for linear system of elasticity

45:11

it was not the same method as before uh

45:15

for the equation case earlier

45:18

we can get we can get something like

45:20

this so

45:22

we can get the gradient ul infinity

45:25

and will be controlled by something like

45:28

root epsilon and say ul infinity

45:31

so this this one can obtain and

45:34

uh one question is whether or not one

45:36

can gain this bound

45:38

uh cane this beta power and uh

45:41

we we haven't seen that yet so we are

45:44

trying to

45:46

replace this hanak part

45:49

so we replace this part so we have not

45:53

succeeded yet and

45:58

so i think i will stop here

46:02

okay thank you for a wonderful lecture

46:05

and then and congratulations and good

46:07

results

46:08

so you improved the the the

46:12

estimates one of a square root

46:13

absolutely in three dimensions

46:15

right so let's take a few questions uh

46:19

anybody

46:21

have a question

46:27

i i i do yeah all right please go ahead

46:31

beautiful talk thank you as always thank

46:34

you

46:34

so i was wondering in in that part where

46:37

you use harneck neck quality

46:39

so instead of using harlequin equality

46:42

uh

46:42

you were able to prove a helder estimate

46:46

uh a sharp helder estimate like

46:49

solutions are

46:50

heather continues with some exponent

46:52

alpha which could be sharp

46:55

that respect the junk would would you be

46:58

able to improve this beta

47:00

so uh you uh to

47:04

to improve the beta so

47:07

to have a better beta

47:11

exactly yes i mean of course depending

47:14

on

47:14

on how how sharp your

47:17

half exponent for for the other

47:19

continuity would be

47:21

inside of these uh so replacing the

47:25

harneck

47:25

by a sharper hilder estimate

47:30

on solutions and solution so so yeah

47:33

that that's that's where the beta

47:35

yeah so it will be good to have

47:38

different ways of

47:39

doing it to to improve the beta so the

47:41

beta if we write down a beta like this

47:44

so it's not so so so

47:47

so so good so our our way of proof

47:52

so even though i only describe this

47:54

three dimension

47:55

but but actually our results will go

47:57

with any

47:59

any dimension and greater or equal than

48:02

three

48:02

and then the question is why the method

48:05

doesn't work in 2d for example

48:07

okay so this meant so that's exactly in

48:10

2d

48:11

we are going to see shape they are

48:14

disconnected

48:15

so that's the only place in some sense

48:19

so the 2d will be like this two pieces

48:23

so our proof works for dimension and

48:25

greater or equal than three because the

48:27

shape

48:28

will be connected

48:31

so the hardness uh go that way otherwise

48:35

it become disconnected and that so

48:38

because in 2d

48:39

we are not supposed to improve that

48:41

that's sharp

48:42

so that's where the 2d makes the

48:46

difference

48:49

another quick question uh i understand

48:52

that

48:52

that all those problems involve

48:54

divergence form equations for physical

48:56

reasons

48:57

uh but have people look at the

49:01

number versions theory so for the

49:04

earlier one

49:05

i think jingang soon had a paper so the

49:08

first like uh for the earlier one for

49:11

the

49:12

uh for like i think uh a very good

49:15

question

49:16

yeah yes yes i i know ching dong soon

49:19

has a paper

49:20

uh for like uh uh

49:24

uh my joint work with

49:27

bargaining so one can look at uniformly

49:30

elliptic

49:31

case and there are natural uh numbers

49:34

once

49:35

nitro derivative order one should look

49:37

at

49:39

and uh and that was studied by

49:43

uh jinganjing in a paper i forgot the

49:46

ear so so it's a

49:50

non-divergence

49:53

so i think it's it's it's it's around uh

49:57

so around here so it's a non-divergence

50:00

non-divergence

50:04

equation uh

50:08

jingam so

50:11

i i forgot the ear so ear

50:15

i forgot yeah

50:18

so so that has been uh

50:22

there's a paper so uh force for

50:26

system i don't know so i i i do not know

50:29

whether there's a

50:31

uh system one that i i

50:34

don't know okay excellent thank you

50:38

thank you another and yeah

50:43

any other question or comments or

50:45

whatever

50:47

so let me ask you this uh

50:50

that your beta it depends on the include

50:53

shape of inclusions and what

50:55

can you tell us it's implicit so it's

50:57

maybe

50:58

quite uh difficult to classify i mean

51:00

clarify but uh

51:02

can you tell us a little bit more about

51:04

uh

51:05

how it depends on the what kind of

51:07

geometry it depends on

51:10

that's the one we are hoping to be able

51:13

to

51:13

to do that to do we are hoping to

51:17

to get that so you see our beta comes

51:20

from

51:20

mainly comes from this hanukkah that's

51:22

all yeah

51:23

yeah so we are going to have a region

51:26

like this

51:27

okay for appropriate geometry here

51:30

yes and in there we are going to have a

51:33

hanak

51:35

so that hanukk will be uh

51:38

so this cannot certainly depend on this

51:40

shape depending on this shape

51:43

so we have a hana but that that hannah

51:46

to get hannah

51:47

to the usual

51:51

it's usually quite quite far

51:54

from uh optimal

51:59

and also and also not only that we you

52:01

see

52:02

to go down we are going to use this hana

52:06

once you have this hanak so we are going

52:09

like

52:09

a a direct down to get a holder control

52:13

so

52:13

that's also not so good that's also far

52:17

from optimal

52:18

yeah i see

52:22

so there is some other problems to look

52:24

into i mean to investigate we

52:26

investigate this hana game quality and

52:27

things like that right

52:29

yes yeah interesting yeah very good

52:32

yes yes i couldn't hear you
