Abstract
We refine a recent result on the structure of measures satisfying a linear partial differential equation 𝓐μ = σ, μ, σ are Radon measures, considering the measure μ(x) = g(x)dx + μus(x̃)(μs(x̄) + dx̄) where x = (x̃,x̄) ∈ ℝk × ℝd−k, μus is a uniformly singular measure in x̃0 and the measure μs is a singular measure. We proved that for μus-a.e. x̃0 the range of the Radon-Nykodim derivative
1 Introduction
In the paper, we consider a finite Radon measure μ = (μ1, …, μm) defined on ℝd satisfying the system of partial differential equations
where I = I1 × I2 × … × In ⊂ {α = (α1, …, αd) : αs ∈ ℕ∪ {0}, s = 1, …, d}n is a set of multi-indexes,
where Ij ⊂ {α = (α1, …, αd) : αs ∈ ℕ∪ {0}, s = 1, …, d}. Denote by Aj, j = 1, …, n, the principal symbol of the operator 𝓐j given by
The sum given above is taken over all terms from (1.2) whose order of derivative α is not dominated by any other multi-index from Ij. As usual,
For instance, for the (scalar) operator 𝓐 = ∂x1 + ∂x2 +
Let us emphasize the fact that the equation (1.1) includes the case
where σ ∈ 𝓜(ℝd, ℝn). Namely, regarding the equation (1.1) we may consider the measure μ̃ = (μ, σ) ∈ 𝓜(ℝd, ℝm+n) and the equation 𝓐̃μ̃ = 0 (where 0’th-order term was added to 𝓐̃) which is equivalent to (1.4).
We are interested in the range of the Radon-Nikodym derivatives
satisfying (1.1). The measure μs is a singular measure while μus is uniformly singular measure. Roughly speaking, we require that μs is singular with respect to every of the variables. For instance, such a condition is not fulfilled by the measure μ = δ(x1 − x2)dx2 since it is not singular with respect to x2. However, if we introduce the change of variables z1 = x1 − x2 and z2 = x2, then μ becomes δ(z1)dz2 and we have the combination of the uniformly singular measure and a regular measure.
Definition 1
We say that the measure μs is uniformly singular if for μs-almost every x ∈ ℝd there exist real positive functions α(ε), β(ε), ε ∈ ℝ, satisfying
For instance, it is clear that the measure δ(x1)δ(x2) satisfies the latter condition with Eε = {(0, 0)} and arbitrary α(ε) and β(ε) satisfying
If we put k = 0 i.e. m = d (implying that we do not have uniformly singular part: μ = g(x) dx + μs) then the problem is solved elegantly in [3] confirming the conjecture from [1] that for the k-th order operator 𝓐, the function
In the case when μus is nontrivial, we are able to prove a stronger result as announced in the abstract and formally introduced in Theorem 2. However, in the latter case, we have the measure of very special form which actually separates variables. This shortens space of measures that fit into our considerations, but the space is far from trivial. For instance, consider the singular measure μ = δ(x1 − x2) dx2. This measure is not uniformly singular and it satisfies the equation
and after introducing the change of variables x1 − x2 = y1 and x2 = y2 we reduce the measure μ on the form (1.5). Also, the (n − 1)-dimensional Hausdorff measure that can be locally represented in the from δ(x1 − g(x2, …, xd)) dx2 … dxd and, after the change of variables z1 = x1 − g(x2, …, xd), xj = zj, j = 2, …, d, it gets the form (1.5). Moreover, if we augment (1.1) with initial conditions involving an uniformly singular measure, then, at least in the case of first order scalar equations, the solution will contain the uniformly singular measure as well (since the solution is given along characteristics).
To continue, we assume that all the principal symbols Aj, j = 1, …, n, can be represented in the form
For instance, the matrix Aj can be of the form ξ1 ξ2 where Ãj(ξ̃) = ξ1 and Āj(ξ̄) = ξ2. The operator determined by such a matrix A1 is actually a hyperbolic operator.
The latter restriction essentially means that we can separate variables x̄ and x̃ while for the dual variables ξ, this means that we first move in the direction of ξ̄ determined by the matrix Āj, and then in the direction ξ̃ determined by the matrix Ãj.
Next, we assume that there exist multi-indices
implying that
We then introduce the homogeneity manifolds:
and the corresponding projections
Finally, we can formulate the main theorem of the paper.
Theorem 2
Let μ be a solution to (1.1) of the form (1.5). Then, for ∣μus∣-almost every x̃ ∈ ℝk and ∣μs∣-almost every x̄ ∈ ℝd−k there exists ξ̄ ∈ P̄ such that:
If for all j = 1, …, n, the manifolds P̃j would be the same, say P̃, and we have the same set of dominating multi-indices I′ = I′j, j = 1, …, n, then we could rewrite (1.9) in the form
for appropriate matrices Aα, α ∈ I′. If we do not have the uniformly singular part and P̄ is the sphere in ℝd, then (1.10) is actually the statement of the main result from [3]. In their elegant proof, the main tool was the concept of tangent measures in the sense of [7]. We will pursue this approach here as well but with slightly more refined arguments which take into account properties of the measure (splitting on singular and uniformly singular part) as well as properties of the operator 𝓐 itself (principal symbols do not have to be defined on a sphere).
We will dedicate the last section to the proof of the theorem. In the next section, we shall prove it in the case of first order constant coefficient operators and the scalar measure which captures all the elements of the general situation. The proof is based on the blow up method [8] (which naturally leads us to the tangent measures) and appropriate usage of Fourier multiplier operators (as in deriving appropriate defect functionals [2, 5]).
Let us recall that the Fourier multiplier operator Tψ with the symbol ψ is defined via the Fourier and inverse Fourier transform
where the Fourier and the inverse Fourier transforms are given by
For properties of the Fourier multiplier operators one can consult [4].
As for the tangent measure, we shall use the property of any locally finite measure [7, Lemma 2.4] and to recall the following theorem (see also [7, Theorem 2.5]) representing a special case of the tangent measures.
Theorem 3
For any locally finite measure μ defined on ℝd and any multi-index (α1, …, αd) ∈ ℕd and μ-almost every x = (x1, …, xd) ∈ ℝd there exists a locally finite measure ν such that along a subsequence as r → 0 it holds for every φ ∈ C0(ℝd)
The paper is organized as follows. In the next section, we shall prove the theorem in the case μ = μus(x̃) dx̄ which contains arguments concerning uniformly singular measures which are new with respect to the ones from [3]. In the last section, we prove the result in the full generality.
2 Proof of Theorem 2 in the case of the hyperbolic constant coefficients operator
Here, we shall prove Theorem 2 when the scalar finite Radon measure μ ∈ 𝓜(ℝd) of the form μ(x) = μus(x̃)dx̄ satisfies the equation
where aα are constants and σ is also finite scalar Radon measure. The proof is essentially the same for the general operator of the form given in (1.1), but it is a bit less technical for (2.11). The proof in full generality is given in the next section.
Before we start, let f̃(x0) be the Radon-Nykodim derivative of μus with respect to ∣μus∣:
We fix a convolution kernel ρ : ℝ → ℝ which is a smooth, compactly supported function of total mass one and convolve (2.11) by
Then, we take an arbitrary φ ∈
We now fix x̃0 ∈ ℝk and take
We now introduce in the first integral above the change of variables x̃ = x̃0 + ε w̃ and multiply the entire expression by εm. We get (we denote x̃0 =
We consider separately terms involving the measure μus:
We rewrite (2.15) in the form (for α and β given in the uniform singularity definition)
Now, according to the assumptions for the uniformly singular measures (see Definition 1) and the fact that ρ is compactly supported:
we get after dividing (2.16) by ∣μus∣(B(x̃0, α(ε)) and letting ε → 0 in (2.16) (for ∣μus∣-a.e. x̃0 ∈ ℝd):
If we take here
where
From here, we conclude after letting ε → 0 in (2.14) with φ given by (2.18)
From here, due to arbitrariness of ψ, we conclude that (1.10) holds (without the ∪ sign since we do not have the singular part, but only the uniformly singular part of the measure).
3 Proof of Theorem 2; general case
In this section, we consider equations (1.2) under the assumption μ(x) = μus(x̃) μs(x̄). We have omitted the terms g(x) dx and μus(x̃) dx̃ appearing in (1.5) since for the purely Lebesgue part there is nothing to prove and the term μus(x̃) dx̃ is handled as the μ(x) = μus(x̃) μs(x̄) by replacing μs(x̄) by dx̄.
We shall rewrite in the form:
where Ĩj and Ī are set of indexes corresponding to the principal symbol of the operator 𝓐.
We shall prove Theorem 2 by following the steps from the previous section together with the approach taken in [3] and we refer the reader there for clarifications.
We start by fixing j in (1.2) and the convolution kernel ρ : ℝ → ℝ which is smooth, compactly supported with total mass one. We then denote
and convolve (3.21) by ρj,ε. We have for
We then apply a test function φ ∈
Now, we fix z = (z̃,z̄) ∈ ℝd and take
in (3.23) instead of φ. At the same time, for the variable x̄, we fix z = (z̃,z̄) ∈ ℝd we introduce the change x̄ = (zk+1 + εβk+1wk+1, …, zd + εβd wd) = z̄ + εβ̄ w̄ in (3.23) and apply the test function φ1(w̄). Multiplying the obtained expression by ε and taking into account (1.8), we conclude
Next, we introduce the change of variables
where
by definition of the principal symbol. Now, we divide (3.25) by
where α(ε) is given in the definition of the uniform singularity and let ε → 0. Taking into account the uniform singularity assumptions as in (2.16) and Theorem 3, we get
where (along a subsequence; see Theorem 3)
We now take
where Tm is the Fourier multiplier operator with the symbol m. After inserting this in (3.26) and applying the Plancherel theorem with respect to w̃, we obtain:
If we apply here the Plancherel theorem with respect to w̄, we get
From here, we conclude that if f̃(z̃) f̄(z̄) = (f̃1(z̃) f̄1(z̄)), …, f̃m(z̃) f̄m(z̄)) does not satisfy conditions of Theorem 2, we conclude that suppν̂r = {0} which in turn implies that νr is the Lebesgue measure. By repeating the procedure from [3] where we replace the sphere by the manifold P̄, we conclude that the convergence from Theorem 3 used to get (3.26) is not only weak but also strong which contradicts the fact that μs is singular.
Let us briefly recall the arguments from [3]. First, since ψ and φ1 in (3.29) are arbitrary, we know that it holds for every (ξ̃,ξ̄) ∈ P̃j × ℝd−k, j = 1, …, n:
Due to linearity, with the expense of the small right-hand side, the same holds when we replace ν by ν − νε for νε given by (3.27). In the matrix notation and after collecting the ξ̃-terms with the coefficients aαβ this means
We multiply the latter equation by [A(ξ̄) 𝔣̄(z̄)]* to get
If we assume that for every ξ̄ ∈ ℝd−k, we have
and from here and (3.30) it follows that ν̂ ≡ 0 i.e. that ν is the Lebesgue measure. Moreover, we can divide (3.31) by ∣A(ξ̄) 𝔣̄(z̄)∣2 from where, after invoking the Marcinkiewicz multiplier theorem and letting ε → 0, we reach to
This implies that νε strongly converges toward ν which is impossible since ν is the Lebesgue measure and νε are not. Thus, we conclude that for some ξ̄ it holds A(ξ̄) 𝔣̄(z̄) = 0 which we wanted to prove.
