This leads to a characterization of all weights in this class, for which any power of the weight is a Bekolle-Bonami weight, which in particular reveals an intimate connection between Bekolle-Bonami weights and Bloch functions. On the open problem of characterizing the closure of bounded analytic functions in the Bloch space, we provide a counter-example to a related recent conjecture. This shed light into the difficulty of preserving harmonicity in approximation problems in norms equivalent to the Bloch norm.

Here, remnant instability refers to the fact that the spatially constant invaded state is linearly unstable in any exponentially weighted space in a frame moving with the linear invasion speed. Our main result is the nonlinear asymptotic stability of the selected invasion front for a prototypical model coupling spatio-temporal oscillations and monotone dynamics. We establish stability through a decomposition of the perturbation into two pieces: one that is bounded in the weighted space and a second that is unbounded in the weighted space but which converges uniformly to zero in the unweighted space at an exponential rate. Interestingly, long-time numerical simulations reveal an apparent instability in some cases. We exhibit how this instability is caused by round-off errors that introduce linear resonant coupling of otherwise non-resonant linear modes, and we determine the accelerated invasion speed.","PeriodicalId":50369,"journal":{"name":"Indiana University Mathematics Journal","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.1,"publicationDate":"2020-09-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43792958","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"数学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Our estimate is applicable to equations which are possibly singular at the initial time. Moreover, it gives the optimal rate of the regularizing effect for solutions, which occurs for some uniformly parabolic equations and (cid:12)rst order Hamilton{Jacobi equations. In the proof of our lower estimate, we construct a subsolution and a supersolution by optimally rescaling the solution of the heat equation and then compare them with the solution.
