  • I. Motivations

MDE is a special class of Generalized Differential

  • Equations. MDE can be understood as Differential

Equations with Measures as coefficients.

  • Used in physics to model discontinuous, non-smooth,

jump phenomena (or even the quantum effect).

  • Mathematically, MDE is the limiting case of ODE/PDE.

Some problems unclear in ODE are much simpler in MDE.

General theory for Generalized ODE has been established, especially by the Prague school (Kurzweil, Schwabik et al.)

A motivating example for MDE is as follows. In the history of sciences and mathematics, we have the first non-trivial differential equation d2y dx2 + ρ(x)y = 0, x ∈ I = [0, 1], (1) where x, y are 1D, while ρ(x) is non-constant.

  • Spatial oscillation of 1D strings: ρ(x) is the

(non-negative) density.

slide-6
SLIDE 6

This will lead to

  • Weighted eigenvalue problems

d2y dx2 + τρ(x)y = 0, x ∈ I = [0, 1]. (2) Here τ is the spectral parameter.

  • Eigenvalue problems

d2y dx2 + (λ + q(x))y = 0, x ∈ I. (3) Here λ is the spectral parameter and q(x) is the potential.

With the Dirichlet boundary condition (D) : y(0) = y(1) = 0,

  • r, with the Neumann boundary condition

(N) : y′(0) = y′(1) = 0, the structures of eigenvalues of problems (2) and (3) are completely clear. For example, problem (2) admits a sequence of (positive) eigenvalues (or frequencies) τ D

m = τ D m(ρ), m ∈ N, and a sequence of (non-negative)

eigenvalues (or frequencies) τ N

m = τ N m (ρ),

m ∈ Z+ := {0} ∪ N.

In the classical textbooks, one is concerned with continuous densities ρ(x) ∈ C(I). More generally, densities ρ(x) are in the Lebesgue space L1(I). In this case, the distribution of mass µρ(x) :=

  • [0,x]

ρ(s) ds, x ∈ I, is absolutely continuous (a.c.) on I.

Problems

  • 1. When the distributions of masses become more and

more singular like the completely singular (c.s.) distributions (e.g. Dirac distributions), how the oscillation

  • f strings can be explained?
  • 2. What is the eigenvalue theory for problems with

general distributions? These can be explained by Measure Differential Equations (MDE).

slide-10
SLIDE 10

10

  • II. MDE: Solutions

Instead distributions, a more suitable mathematical notion is measures. We recall the concept of (Radon) Measures. Let I = [0, 1] and C(I) = space of continuous real-valued functions on I, with the supremum norm · C0.

slide-11
SLIDE 11

11

The measure space on I is the dual space M0(I) := (C(I), · C0)∗, with the norm · var of total variation. Riesz representation theorem µ ∈ M0(I) are those functions on I such that

  • µ(x) is right-continuous on (0, 1),
  • µ(x) has bounded variation on I: µvar < +∞,
  • µ(x) is usually normalized as µ(0+) = 0.
slide-12
SLIDE 12

12

Examples of measures

  • 1. For q ∈ L1(I),

µq(x) := x q(s) ds, x ∈ I, is an absolutely continuous (a.c.) measure on I w.r.t. the Lebesgue measure ℓ: ℓ(x) ≡ x.

  • 2. (Unit) Dirac measures δa, located at a ∈ I, are

completely singular (c.s.). For a = 0, δ0(x) = −1 at x = 0, for x ∈ (0, 1].

slide-13
SLIDE 13

13

For a ∈ (0, 1], δa(x) = for x ∈ [0, a), 1 for x ∈ [a, 1].

  • 3. Singularly continuous (s.c.) measures: µ : I → R is

continuous and µ′(x) = 0 ℓ-a.e. x ∈ I, µ(I) = 0.

Arnold’s Devil’s Staircase: defined from dynamical

  • systems. For parameters ε ∈ [0, 1/2π] and x ∈ I, define a

As a function of x ∈ I,

  • ̺ε(x) ∈ C(I),
  • ̺ε(x) is non-decreasing on I,
  • ̺ε(0) = 0 and ̺ε(1) = 1,
  • ̺0 = ℓ. In case ε ∈ (0, 1/2π], ̺−1

ε (r) is a

non-trivial interval for each rational r ∈ [0, 1]

  • ̺ε(x) is an s.c. measure,
  • by considering x as the standard time, ̺ε(x) can be

considered as a singular time.

Theorem 1. (From real analysis) For 1D measure µ ∈ M0(I), one has the unique decomposition µ = µac + µsc + µcs, (4) where µsc(x) is s.c., and µac(x) =

  • [0,x]

ρ(s) ds, µcs(x) =

  • a∈A

  • I

y dµ is defined. For subintervals J ⊂ I, the Lebesgue-Stieltjes integral

y dµ is also well defined.

2nd-order linear MDE With a measure µ ∈ M0(I), the 2nd-order linear MDE is written in [15] (Meng & Zhang, JDE, 2013) as dy• + y dµ(x) = 0, x ∈ I. (5) The initial value (at x = 0) is (y(0), y•(0)) = (y0, v0) ∈ R2 (C2). Formally, MDE (5) is equivalent to dy(x) = z(x) dx, dz(x) = −y(x) dµ(x).

The solution y(x) and its generalized velocity y•(x) of the IVP of (5) are determined by the system of integral equations y(x) = y0 +

  • [0,x]

y•(s) ds for x ∈ I, (6) y•(x) =

  • v0

for x = 0, v0 −

  • [0,x] y(s) dµ(s)

for x ∈ (0, 1]. (7)

SLIDE 21

21

Remark

  • If µ(x) is C1, Eq. (7) is reduced to Riemann integral.
  • If µ(x) is a.c., Eq. (7) is reduced to Lebesgue integral.
  • For general measure µ, Eq. (7) is concerned with the

Riemann-Stieltjes integral, while Eq. (6) is concerned with the Lebesgue integral.

slide-22

Known results for linear MDE

  • The IVP has the unique solution (y(x), y•(x)) on I.
  • Solutions y(x) are absolutely continuous in x ∈ I.
  • Generalized velocities y•(x) are non-normalized

measures or BV-functions on I.

  • At x ∈ (0, 1), y•(x) coincides with the classical

right-derivative of y(x) y•(x) = lim

s↓x

y(s) − y(x) s − x .

slide-23
SLIDE 23

23

  • In case ∆µ(x0) := µ(x0) − µ(x0−) = 0, velocity y•(x)

has a jump or impulse at x = x0 y•(x0) − y•(x0−) = −y(x0) · ∆µ(x0).

  • MDE (5) is conservative: One has the Liouville law.

All proofs are obtained by integration, not by differentiation! Some of the Dirichlet eigen-functions for µ = rδ1/2 as potentials are as in the following figures: r = 0, r > 0 and r < 0.

Comparisons with other types of differential equations Stochastic Differential Equation (SDE): The decomposition (4) for measures can be written as µ = µac + µs, where µs := µsc + µcs. Then MDE (5) is dy• + ρ(x)y dx + y dµs(x) = 0. This similar to SDE, but with many types of singular measures µs(x).

slide-27
SLIDE 27

27

Impulsive Differential Equation (IDE): In (4), µsc = 0 and A ⊂ I is discrete. MDE (5) is dy• + ρ(x)y dx + y d

  • a∈A

maδa(x)

  • = 0.

IDE with impulses at all a ∈ A y•(a) − y•(a−) = −may(a). Hence MDE (5) allows infinitely many impulses for velocity y•(x), e.g., at all x ∈ I ∩ Q.

slide-28
SLIDE 28

28

Difference Equation (DE): In (4), µc := µac + µsc = 0. MDE (5) is dy• + y d

  • a∈A

maδa(x)

  • = 0.

Solutions are piecewise linear. It is a Difference Equation

  • r a system of algebraic equations.

Integral Equation (IE): In case µ = µsc is singularly continuous, dy• + y dµsc(x) = 0 is an integral equation, which is not studied in ODE.

slide-29
SLIDE 29

29

Differential Equation on Time Scale T (⊂ I) (DETS): In (4), let µsc = 0. On any gap interval (α, β) of I \ T, set ρ(x) = 0. Then MDE (5) is dy• + ρ(x)y dx + y d

  • a∈A

maδa(x)

  • = 0.

This models some type of DETS.

Our results on solutions of MDE

  • The usual topology on measures is induced by the norm

· var of total variation: (M0(I), · var) is a Banach space.

  • The weak∗ topology w∗ is defined as µk → µ iff
  • I

y dµk →

  • I

y dµ ∀y ∈ C(I).

slide-31
SLIDE 31

31

Theorem 2. ([15]: Dependence of solutions of IVP on measures)

  • Continuous dependence: For solutions themselves,

(M0(I), w∗) ∋ µ → y(·; µ) ∈ (C(I), · C0) is continuous;

  • for velocities,

(M0(I), w∗) ∋ µ → y•(·; µ) ∈ (M(I), w∗) is continuous; and

slide-32
SLIDE 32

32

  • for ending velocities (at x = 1),

(M0(I), w∗) ∋ µ → y•(1; µ) ∈ R is continuous.

  • Continuous Fr´

echet differentiability: At any time x0 ∈ I, (M0(I), · var) ∋ µ → (y(x0; µ), y•(x0; µ)) ∈ R2 is continuously differentiable.

slide-33
SLIDE 33

33

The second result for velocities is optimal: For any x0 ∈ (0, 1), (M0(I), w∗) ∋ µ → y•(x0; µ) ∈ R may NOT be continuous at some measure µ. Most important ideas of the proof:

  • 1. Transfer solutions of IVP to the fixed point of integral operator

y(x) = y0 + v0x −

  • I

G(x, s)y(s) dµ(s), x ∈ I, where the kernel G : I2 → R is continuous: G(x, s) = x − s for 0 ≤ s ≤ x ≤ 1, for 0 ≤ x ≤ s ≤ 1.

slide-34
SLIDE 34

34

  • 2. Compactness argument from weak∗ topology.
  • 3. For the optimal result on velocities, the reason is that

µn

w∗

− → µ on I = ⇒ µn|J

w∗

− → µ|J on J, where J is a subinterval of I. (This is different from the weak convergence in Lp spaces!)

  • III. MDE: Eigenvalue Theories
  • III1. Potentials are Measures

For an arbitrary measure µ(x), considered as a potential,

  • ne has the corresponding Eigenvalue Problem

dy• + y dµ(x) + λy dx = 0, x ∈ I. (8) With the Dirichlet or the Neumann boundary conditions (D) : y(0) = y(1) = 0, (N) : y•(0) = y•(1) = 0, the basic eigenvalue theory has been obtained in [15].

slide-36
SLIDE 36

36

As for the Structure of eigenvalues, Theorem 3. (Meng & Zhang, JDE, 2013) Structures of MDE (7) are the same as the classical Sturm-Liouville problems of ODE:

  • λD

i (µ)

  • i∈N ,
  • λN

i (µ)

  • i∈Z+ ,

λi(µ) → +∞.

slide-37
SLIDE 37

37

As for the Dependence of eigenvalues on measures, Theorem 4. (Meng & Zhang, JDE, 2013)

  • λD/N

i

(µ) of MDE are continuously Fr´ echet differentiable in measures µ ∈ (M0(I), · var). Moreover, ∂µλD/N

  • λD/N

(µ) of MDE are continuous in measures µ ∈ (M0(I), w∗).

slide-38
SLIDE 38

38

  • The strongest continuous dependence!
  • For the classical Sturm-Liouville problems, one has the strong

continuity of eigenvalues in integrable potentials/weights. See, for example, J. P¨

  • schel and E. Trubowitz (The Inverse Spectral Theory,

Academic Press, New York, 1987) for a preliminary result, and our works [1, 2, 3, 4, 6] for general cases of 2nd or 4th-order problems. Main ideas of the proof A novel definition for the Pr¨ ufer transformation and the arguments of MDE.

  • 1. Recall that, for eigenvalue problem

y′′ + (λ + q(x))y = 0, x ∈ [0, 1],

slide-39
SLIDE 39

39

the simplest approach is to introduce the argument θ(x) by the Pr¨ ufer transformation y = r sin θ, y′ = r cos θ. For ODE case, θ(x) is (absolutely) continuous in x ∈ [0, 1] and is determined by nonlinear ODE dθ dx = cos2 θ + (λ + q(x)) sin2 θ, x ∈ [0, 1]. For MDE (8), it seems that the corresponding argument θ is defined using 1st-order nonlinear MDE dθ = cos2 θ dx + sin2 θ d (λx + µ(x)) , x ∈ [0, 1].

slide-40
SLIDE 40

40

This is hopeless, because both sin2 θ(x) and λx + µ(x) may be discontinuous. In order to introduce the arguments for MDE (7), we need some topological idea, with the help of the continuous dependence of solutions on measures in Theorem 2.

  • 2. Given µ ∈ M0[0, 1] and λ, by introducing a homotopy parameter

τ ∈ [0, 1], we consider MDE dy•(x) + y(x) d(λx + τµ(x)) = 0, x ∈ [0, 1].

  • 3. The solutions and velocities define linear transformations

M(x; λℓ + τµ) on R2, which can be reduced to transformations ˆ M(x; λℓ + τµ) on the unit circle S1.

slide-41
SLIDE 41

41

  • 4. Given x ∈ [0, 1], ˆ

M(x; λℓ + τµ) is continuous in τ ∈ [0, 1]. The topological lifting of ˆ M(x; λℓ + τµ) to R is then well-defined once the covering mapping of ˆ M(x; λℓ + 0 · µ) (a simple ODE) is chosen (as the standard one). By taking τ = 1, the argument of MDE (7) is defined as the mapping θ(x; ϑ, λℓ + µ) on R.

  • 5. Eigenvalues λ of (8) with (D) or with (N) are then determined by

equations θ(1; 0, λℓ + µ) = mπ, m ∈ N,

  • r

θ(1; π/2, λℓ + µ) = mπ + π/2, m ∈ Z+ = {0} ∪ N.

slide-42
SLIDE 42

42

  • 6. To obtain the structure of eigenvalues, estimates for

θ(1; θ0, λℓ + µ), as λ → ±∞, can be done as for ODE.

slide-43
SLIDE 43

43

  • III2. Weights are Measures

The weighted eigenvalue problem with the semi-positive weighted measure ω is dy• + τy dω(x) = 0, x ∈ I. (9) Here ω ∈ M0(I) be a semi-positive measure, i.e.,

  • ω(x) : I → R is non-decreasing,
  • ω(I) > 0.

In this case, ωac, ωsc, and ωcs in the decomposition (4) are also non-decreasing.

slide-44
SLIDE 44

44

In a preprint [17], we obtain some new results on

  • eigenvalues. The first is

Theorem 5. ([17]) Suppose that ω = ωcs and ω contains precisely n ∈ N Dirac measures inside (0, 1). Then, with (D), problem (9) admits precisely n weighted eigenvalues τ D

i (ω), 1 ≤ i ≤ n.

This can be reduced to a system of linear equations in Rn.

slide-45
SLIDE 45

45

The second is that the converse of Theorem 5 is also true. Theorem 6. ([17]) With (D), problem (9) admits pre- cisely n weighted eigenvalues τ D

i (ω), 1 ≤ i ≤ n, iff ω

contains precisely n ∈ N Dirac measures inside the interior (0, 1). In other words, the number of the Dirichlet weighted eigenvalues of (9) is Kω,D = +∞ if ωc = ωac + ωsc = 0, #(A ∩ (0, 1)) if ω =

a∈A maδa,

where ma > 0 for all a ∈ A.

slide-46
SLIDE 46

46

Theorem 7. ([17]) With (N), the number of the Neu- mann weighted eigenvalues of (9) is Kω,N = +∞ if ωc = 0, #A if ω =

a∈A maδa,

where ma > 0 for all a ∈ A. For example, for ω =

  • n=1

1 n2δ1/n, both the Dirichlet and the Neumann have ∞ many weighted eigenvalues.

slide-47
SLIDE 47

47

Ideas of the proof

  • 1. For non-zero s.c. measures, the structure of weighted eigenvalues
  • f MDE is the same as that of ODE with definite integrable weights.
  • 2. The crucial observation is that: for s.c. ω > 0, the argument

dΘ(x, τ) = cos2 Θ(x, τ) dx + τ sin2 Θ(x, τ) dω(x) Θ(0) = 0 satisfies Θ(1, τ) → +∞ as τ → +∞.

  • 3. The proof is that all non-c.s. measures always admit infinitely

many weighted eigenvalues.

slide-48
SLIDE 48

48

The third is some sharp strong continuity of weighted eigenvalues of MDE in measures. Theorem 8. ([17]) Suppose that semi-positive measures ωk → ω in (M0(I), w∗). One has

  • lim infk→∞ Kωk ≥ Kω,
  • for any 1 ≤ i ≤ Kω, there holds limk→∞ τi(ωk) = τi(ω).
  • the normalized weighted eigen-functions Ei(·; ω) are also

strong continuous in ω.

slide-49
SLIDE 49

  • IV. Applications and Problems
  • 1. Lyapunov stability criterion

For 1-periodic Hill’s equations, q(t) > 0, 1 q≤4 = ⇒ ¨ y + q(t)y = 0 is stable. Here we have the non-strict inequality ≤ and the optimal constant 4.

slide-50
SLIDE 50

50

Using the weighted eigenvalues of MDE, there is some connection with the Dirac measure ω = δ1/2. The unique weighted Dirichlet eigenvalue is τ1 = 4, with the normalized eigen-function E1(x) = √ 12 · min{x, 1 − x}, x ∈ [0, 1], = √ 12 · dist(x, Z), x ∈ R. The optimal Lyapunov criterion cannot be realized by ODE, but by MDE.

slide-51
SLIDE 51

51

  • 2. Extremal eigenvalues

The Banach-Alaglou theorem implies that bounded subsets of M0(I) (in · var) are relatively sequentially compact (in the weak∗ topology w∗). As a consequence of eigenvalues in measures, min{λD

1 (µ) : µ ∈ M0(I), µvar ≤ r} = L1(r)

can be realized by some measure. In fact, one has L1(r) = λD

1 (rδ1/2).

slide-52
SLIDE 52

52

Note that inf{λD

1 (q) : q ∈ L1(I), q1 ≤ r} = L1(r),

which is not realized by any potential.

slide-53
SLIDE 53

53

  • 3. Approximation of eigenvalues: ODE vs MDE

Dirac measures are approximated by smooth measures (in the weak∗ topology). For example, given a c.s. measure ω = ωcs =

n

  • i=1

miδai,

  • ne has some smooth functions (measures)

ωk ∈ C∞(I) ∩ M0(I) such that ωk → ωcs in (M0(I), w∗). The continuity result in Theorem 8 means lim

k→∞ τi(ωk) (ODEs) = τi(ωcs) (DE),

1 ≤ i ≤ n.

slide-54
SLIDE 54

54

Conversely, given any measure ω ∈ M0(I), say a smooth measure, define, for k ∈ N, ωk :=

k

  • j=1

mk,jδj/k, mk,j := ω(Ik,j), where Ik,1 := [0, 1/k] and Ik,j := ((j − 1)/k, j/k] for 2 ≤ j ≤ k. Then ωk are c.s. measures. It is easy to verify that ωk → ω in (M0(I), w∗) as k → ∞.

slide-55
SLIDE 55

55

By the continuity of Theorem 8 again, for any i ∈ N, there holds lim

k→∞ τi(ωk) (DEs) = τi(ω) (ODE).

The left-hand side is algebraic problems, while the right-hand side is an ODE problem.

  • For eigenvalues, algebraic problems and ODE problems

can be mutually approximated.

  • For s.c. measures like the Devil’s staircases, what are

the eigenvalues and the dynamics?

  • New approach to inverse spectral problems?
slide-56
SLIDE 56

56

  • 4. Orthogonal systems deduced from MDE

Given µ ∈ M0(I), it can be proved that {Ei(·; µ)} forms an orthogonal system for L2(I). Problem: Is the orthogonal system {Ei(·; µ)} complete in L2(I)? If yes, like the Fourier expansion, we may use them to effectively expand functions with jumps, like wavelets.
