In this work we consider the initial value problem (IVP) associated to the two dimensional Zakharov-Kuznetsov equation $$\left. \begin{array}{rl} u_t+\partial_x^3 u+\partial_x \partial_y^2 u +u \partial_x u &\hspace{-2mm}=0,\qquad\qquad (x,y)\in\mathbb R^2,\; t\in\mathbb R,\\ u(x,y,0)&\hspace{-2mm}=u_0(x,y). \end{array} \right\}$$ We study the well-posedness of the IVP in the weighted Sobolev spaces $$H^s(\mathbb R^2) \cap L^2((1+x^2+y^2)^{r} dx dy),$$ with $s,r\in\mathbb R$.

Let $X$ be a separable Banach space endowed with a non degenerate Gaussian measure $\mu$ and let $w$ be a positive function on $X$ such that $w\in W^{1,s}(X,\mu)$ and $\log w\in W^{1,t}(X,\mu)$ for some $s>1$ and $t>s'$. We introduce and study weighted Sobolev functions and their traces on hypersurfaces of the form $\{x\in X\,|\, G(x) = 0\}$, where $w$ is the chosen weight and $G$ is a suitable version of Gaussian Sobolev function.

We prove that weakly differentiable weights $w$ which, together with their reciprocals, satisfy certain local integrability conditions, admit a unique associated first-order $p$-Sobolev space, that is \[H^{1,p}(\mathbb{R}^d,w\,\d x)=V^{1,p}(\mathbb{R}^d,w\,\d x)=W^{1,p}(\mathbb{R}^d,w\,\d x),\] where $d\in\N$ and $p\in [1,\infty)$. If $w$ admits a (weak) logarithmic gradient $\nabla w/w$ which is in $L^q_{\text{loc}}(w\,\d x;\R^d)$, $q=p/(p-1)$, we propose an alternative definition of the weighted $p$-Sobolev space based on an integration by parts formula involving $\nabla w/w$. We prove that weights of the form $\exp(-\beta |\cdot|^q-W-V)$ are $p$-admissible, in particular, satisfy a Poincar\'e inequality, where $\beta\in (0,\infty)$, $W$, $V$ are convex and bounded below such that $|\nabla W|$ satisfies a growth condition (depending on $\beta$ and $q$) and $V$ is bounded. We apply the uniqueness result to weights of this type. The associated nonlinear degenerate evolution equation is also discussed.

We consider a scattering map that arises in the $\bar \partial $-approach to the scattering theory for the Davey-Stewartson II equation and show that the map is an invertible map between certain weighted $L^2$ Sobolev spaces.

In this paper we show a density property for fractional weighted Sobolev spaces. That is, we prove that any function in a fractional weighted Sobolev space can be approximated by a smooth function with compact support. The additional difficulty in this nonlocal setting is caused by the fact that the weights are not necessarily translation invariant.

We study the initial value problem associated to the Benjamin-Ono equation. The aim is to establish persistence properties of the solution flow in the weighted Sobolev spaces $Z_{s,r}=H^s(\R)\cap L^2(|x|^{2r}dx)$, $s\in\R, \,s\geq 1$ and $s\geq r$. We also prove some unique continuation properties of the solution flow in these spaces. In particular, these continuation principles demostrate that our persistence properties are sharp.

We define a very general "parametric connect sum" construction which can be used to eliminate isolated conical singularities of Riemannian manifolds. We then show that various important analytic and elliptic estimates, formulated in terms of weighted Sobolev spaces, can be obtained independently of the parameters used in the construction. Specifically, we prove uniform estimates related to (i) Sobolev Embedding Theorems, (ii) the invertibility of the Laplace operator and (iii) Poincare' and Gagliardo-Nirenberg-Sobolev type inequalities. Our main tools are the well-known theories of weighted Sobolev spaces and elliptic operators on "conifolds". We provide an overview of both, together with an extension of the former to general Riemannian manifolds. For a geometric application of our results we refer the reader to our paper "Special Lagrangian conifolds, II: Gluing constructions in C^m".

We prove the unique solvability in weighted Sobolev spaces of non-divergence form elliptic and parabolic equations on a half space with the homogeneous Neumann boundary condition. All the leading coefficients are assumed to be only measurable in the time variable and have small mean oscillations in the spatial variables. Our results can be applied to Neumann boundary value problems for {\em stochastic} partial differential equations with BMO$_x$ coefficients.

We obtain characterizations of positive Borel measures $\mu$ on $\B^n$ so that some weighted Hardy-Sobolev are imbedded in $L^p(d\mu)$, where $w$ is an $A_p$ weight in the unit sphere of $\C^n$.

Given two measurable functions $V(r)\geq 0$ and $K(r)> 0$, $r>0$, we define the weighted spaces \[ H_V^1 = \{u \in D^{1,2}(\mathbb{R}^N): \int_{\mathbb{R}^N}V(|x|)u^{2}dx < \infty \}, \quad L_K^q = L^q(\mathbb{R}^N,K(|x|)dx) \] and study the compact embeddings of the radial subspace of $H_V^1$ into $L_K^{q_1}+L_K^{q_2}$, and thus into $L_K^q$ ($=L_K^q+L_K^q$) as a particular case. Both super- and sub-quadratic exponents $q_1$, $q_2$ and $q$ are considered. Our results do not require any compatibility between how the potentials $V$ and $K$ behave at the origin and at infinity, and essentially rely on power type estimates of their relative growth, not of the potentials separately. Applications to existence results for nonlinear elliptic problems like \[ -\triangle u + V(|x|)u = f(|x|,u) \quad \text{in}\mathbb{R}^N, \quad u \in H_V^1, \] will be given in a forthcoming paper.

We develop a constructive piecewise polynomial approximation theory in weighted Sobolev spaces with Muckenhoupt weights for any polynomial degree. The main ingredients to derive optimal error estimates for an averaged Taylor polynomial are a suitable weighted Poincare inequality, a cancellation property and a simple induction argument. We also construct a quasi-interpolation operator, built on local averages over stars, which is well defined for functions in $L^1$. We derive optimal error estimates for any polynomial degree on simplicial shape regular meshes. On rectangular meshes, these estimates are valid under the condition that neighboring elements have comparable size, which yields optimal anisotropic error estimates over $n$-rectangular domains. The interpolation theory extends to cases when the error and function regularity require different weights. We conclude with three applications: nonuniform elliptic boundary value problems, elliptic problems with singular sources, and fractional powers of elliptic operators.

We prove existence and multiplicity results for finite energy solutions to the nonlinear elliptic equation \[ -\triangle u+V\left( \left| x\right| \right) u=g\left( \left| x\right| ,u\right) \quad \textrm{in }\Omega \subseteq \mathbb{R}^{N},\ N\geq 3, \] where $\Omega $ is a radial domain (bounded or unbounded) and $u$ satisfies $u=0$ on $\partial \Omega $ if $\Omega \neq \mathbb{R}^{N}$ and $u\rightarrow 0$ as $\left| x\right| \rightarrow \infty $ if $\Omega $ is unbounded. The potential $V$ may be vanishing or unbounded at zero or at infinity and the nonlinearity $g$ may be superlinear or sublinear. If $g$ is sublinear, the case with $g\left( \left| \cdot \right| ,0\right) \neq 0$ is also considered.

In this work we consider the initial value problem (IVP) associated to the Ostrovsky equations $$\left. \begin{array}{rl} u_t+\partial_x^3 u\pm \partial_x^{-1}u +u \partial_x u &\hspace{-2mm}=0,\qquad\qquad x\in\mathbb R,\; t\in\mathbb R,\\ u(x,0)&\hspace{-2mm}=u_0(x). \end{array} \right\}$$ We study the well-posedness of the IVP in the weighted Sobolev spaces $$Z_{s,\frac{s}2}:=\{u\in H^s(\mathbb R):D_x^{-s} u\in L^2(\mathbb R)\}\cap L^2(|x|^s dx ),$$ with $\frac34

We generalize the Abstract Interpolation Lemma proved by the authors in [2]. Using this extension, we show in a more general context, the persistence property for the generalized Korteweg-de Vries equation, see (1.2), in the weighted Sobolev space with low regularity in the weight. The method used can be applied for other nonlinear dispersive models, for instance the multidimensional nonlinear Schrodinger equation.

In this paper we study the initial-value problem associated with the Benjamin-Ono-Zakharov-Kuznetsov equation. We prove that the IVP for such equation is locally well-posed in the usual Sobolev spaces $H^{s}(\R^2),$ $s>2$, and in the anisotropic spaces $H^{s_1,s_2}(\R^2)$, $s_2>2$, $s_1\geq s_2$. We also study the persistence properties of the solution and local well-posedness in the weighted Sobolev class $$ \mathcal{Z}_{s,r}=H^{s}(\R^{2})\cap L^{2}((1+x^{2} +y^{2})^rdxdy), $$ where $s>2$, $r\geq 0$, and $s\geq 2r$. Unique continuation properties of the solution are also established. These continuation principles show that our persistence properties are sharp. Most of our arguments are accomplished taking into account that ones for the Benjamin-Ono equation.

In this paper, we prove a Sobolev and isoperimetric inequalities for submanifold in weighted manifold. Our results generalize the Hoffman-Spruck's inequalities.

We consider the Gelfand and Kolmogorov numbers of compact embeddings between weighted function spaces of Besov and Triebel-Lizorkin type with polynomial weights in the non-limiting case. Our main purpose here is to complement our previous results in \cite{ZF10} in the context of the quasi-Banach setting, $0 < p, q \le \infty$. In addition, sharp estimates for their approximation numbers in several cases left open in Skrzypczak (JAT, 2005) are provided.

In prior work, the author has characterized the real numbers $a,b,c$ and $1\leq p,q,r

In this paper we study weighted Hardy-Sobolev spaces of vector valued functions analytic on double-napped cones of the complex plane. We introduce these spaces as a tool for complex scaling of linear ordinary differential equations with dilation analytic unbounded operator coefficients. As examples we consider boundary value problems in cylindrical domains and domains with quasicylindrical ends.

In this paper, we study the well-posedness of classical solutions to the nonlinear unsteady Prandtl equations with Robin boundary condition in half space in weighted Sobolev spaces. We firstly investigate the monotonic shear flow with Robin boundary condition and the linearized Prandtl-type equations with Robin boundary condition in weighted Sobolev spaces. Due to the degeneracy of the Prandtl equations and the loss of regularity, we apply the Nash-Moser-Hormander iteration scheme to prove the existence of classical solutions to the nonlinear Prandtl equations with Robin boundary condition when the initial data is a small perturbation of a monotonic shear flow satisfying Robin boundary condition. The uniqueness and stability are also proved in the weighted Sobolev spaces. The nonlinear Prandtl equations with Robin boundary arise in the inviscid limit of incompressible Navier-Stokes equations with Navier-slip boundary condition for which the slip length is square root of viscosity. Our results are also valid for the Dirichlet boundary case.

In the present paper we study embedding operators for weighted Sobolev spaces whose weights satisfy the well-known Muckenhoupt A_p-condition. Sufficient conditions for boundedness and compactness of the embedding operators are obtained for smooth domains and domains with boundary singularities. The proposed method is based on the concept of 'generalized' quasiconformal homeomorphisms (homeomorphisms with bounded mean distortion.) The choice of the homeomorphism type depends on the choice of the corresponding weighted Sobolev space. Such classes of homeomorphisms induce bounded composition operators for weighted Sobolev spaces. With the help of these homeomorphism classes the embedding problem for non-smooth domains is reduced to the corresponding classical embedding problem for smooth domains. Examples of domains with anisotropic H\"older singularities demonstrate sharpness of our machinery comparatively with known results.

Let $X$ be a separable Banach space endowed with a non-degenerate centered Gaussian measure $\mu$. The associated Cameron-Martin space is denoted by $H$. Let $\nu=e^{-U}\mu$, where $e^{-U}$ is a sufficiently regular weight and $U:X\rightarrow\mathbb{R}$ is a convex and continuous function. In this paper we are interested in the $W^{2,2}$ regularity of the weak solutions of elliptic equations of the type \[\lambda u-L_\nu u=f,\] where $\lambda>0$, $f\in L^2(X,\nu)$ and $L_\nu$ is the self-adjoint operator associated with the quadratic form \[(\psi,\varphi)\mapsto \int_X\left\langle\nabla_H\psi,\nabla_H\varphi\right\rangle_Hd\nu\qquad\psi,\varphi\in W^{1,2}(X,\nu).\]

We investigate the asymptotic behaviour of entropy and approximation numbers of the compact embedding $E^m_{p,\sigma}(B)\hookrightarrow L_p(B)$, $1\leq p

Let $X$ be a separable Banach space endowed with a non-degenerate centered Gaussian measure $\mu$. The associated Cameron--Martin space is denoted by $H$. Consider two sufficiently regular convex functions $U:X\rightarrow\mathbb{R}$ and $G:X\rightarrow \mathbb{R}$. We let $\nu=e^{-U}\mu$ and $\Omega=G^{-1}(-\infty,0]$. In this paper we are interested in the $W^{2,2}$ regularity of the weak solutions of elliptic equations of the type \begin{align}\label{Probelma in abstract} \lambda u-L_{\nu,\Omega} u=f, \end{align} where $\lambda>0$, $f\in L^2(\Omega,\nu)$ and $L_{\nu,\Omega}$ is the self-adjoint operator associated with the quadratic form \[(\psi,\phi)\mapsto \int_\Omega\langle\nabla_H\psi,\nabla_H\phi\rangle_Hd\nu\qquad\psi,\phi\in W^{1,2}(\Omega,\nu).\] In addition we will show that if $u$ is a weak solution of problem $\lambda u-L_{\nu,\Omega} u=f$, with $\lambda>0$ and $f\in L^2(\Omega,\nu)$, then it satisfies a Neumann type condition at the boundary, namely for $\rho$-a.e. $x\in G^{-1}(0)$ \[\left\langle\,\text{Tr}\,(\nabla_Hu)(x),\,\text{Tr}\,(\nabla_H G)(x)\right\rangle_H=0,\] where $\rho$ is the Feyel--de La Pradelle Hausdorff--Gauss surface measure and $\text{Tr}$ is the trace operator.

In this paper, we study quasi-Monte Carlo (QMC) integration in weighted Sobolev spaces. In contrast to many previous results the QMC algorithms considered here are of open type, i.e., they are extensible in the number of sample points without having to discard the samples already used. As the underlying integration nodes we consider randomized Halton sequences in prime bases $\boldsymbol{p}=(p_1,...,p_s)$ for which we study the root mean square (RMS) worst-case error. The randomization method is a $\boldsymbol{p}$-adic shift which is based on $\boldsymbol{p}$-adic arithmetic. The obtained error bounds are optimal in the order of magnitude of the number of sample nodes. Furthermore we obtain conditions on the coordinate weights under which the error bounds are independent of the dimension $s$. In terms of the field of Information-Based Complexity this means that the corresponding QMC rule achieves a strong polynomial tractability error bound. Our findings on the RMS worst-case error of randomized Halton sequences can be carried over to the RMS $L_2$-discrepancy. Except for the $\boldsymbol{p}$-adic shift our results are fully constructive and no search algorithms (such as the component-by-component algorithm) are required.

We consider the well-posedness of the initial value problem associated to the k-generalized Zakharov-Kuznetsov equation in fractional weighted Sobolev spaces. Our method of proof is based on the contraction mapping principle and it mainly relies on the well-posedness results recently obtained for this equation in the Sobolev spaces H^s(\R^2) and a new pointwise commutator type formula involving the group induced by the linear part of the equation and the fractional anisotropic weights to be considered

In this paper we study singular integral operators which are hyper or weak over Lipschitz or Holder spaces and over weghted Sobolev spaces defined on unbounded domains in the standard $n$-D space $R^n$ for $n>0$. The $\pi$-operator in this case is one of the hyper integral operators which has been studied extensively than other hyper singular integral operators. It will be shown the control of singularity of such integral operators that are defined interms of Cauchy generating kernels by working on weghted Sobolev spaces $W^{p,k}(\Omega,|x|^{\zeta+epsilon}dx)$ for some $\epsilon>0$ and $\zeta $ some positive integer.

We investigate weighted Sobolev spaces on metric measure spaces $(X,d,m)$. Denoting by $\rho$ the weight function, we compare the space $W^{1,p}(X,d,\rho m)$ (which always concides with the closure $H^{1,p}(X,d,\rho m)$ of Lipschitz functions) with the weighted Sobolev spaces $W^{1,p}_\rho(X,d,m)$ and $H^{1,p}_\rho(X,d,m)$ defined as in the Euclidean theory of weighted Sobolev spaces. Under mild assumptions on the metric measure structure and on the weight we show that $W^{1,p}(X,d,\rho m)=H^{1,p}_\rho(X,d, m)$. We also adapt results by Muckenhoupt and recent work by Zhikov to the metric measure setting, considering appropriate conditions on $\rho$ that ensure the equality $W^{1,p}_\rho(X,d,m)=H^{1,p}_\rho(X,d,m)$.

We give a simple characterization of chaos for weighted composition $C_0$-semigroups on $L^p_\rho(\Omega)$ for an open interval $\Omega\subseteq\mathbb{R}$. Moreover, we characterize chaos for these classes of $C_0$-semigroups on the closed subspace $W^{1,p}_*(\Omega)$ of the Sobolev space $W^{1,p}(\Omega)$ for a bounded interval $\Omega\subset\mathbb{R}$. These characterizations simplify previously obtained characterization of chaos for these classes of $C_0$-semigroups.

Stability of weighted composition strongly continuous semigroups acting on Lebesgue and Sobolev spaces is studied, without the use of spectral conditions on the generator of the semigroup. Applications to the generalized von Foerster - Lasota semigroup and a comparison with hypercylicity conditions are presented.\

The aim of this paper is to provide Markov-type inequalities in the setting of weighted Sobolev spaces when the considered weights are generalized classical weights. Also, as results of independent interest, some basic facts about Sobolev spaces with respect to certain vector measures are stated.

Higher order digital nets have recently been recognized as one of the most promising branches of quasi-Monte Carlo methods. The notable feature of higher order digital nets is that they can exploit the smoothness of a function for numerical integration and achieve an improved convergence rate of the integration error for smooth functions. One prominent construction of such nets is based on digitally interlacing the components of the classical digital net whose number of components is a multiple $d$ of the dimension. In this study we consider the weighted unanchored Sobolev spaces of smoothness $\alpha \ge 2$, and derive an upper bound on the mean square worst-case error for digitally shifted higher order digital nets. Employing our obtained bound as a quality criterion, we prove that the component-by-component construction can be made efficient use of to obtain good polynomial lattice point sets that are used for interlaced components. Through this approach we are able to get some tractability results under certain conditions on the weights. Fast construction using the fast Fourier transform requires the construction cost of order $O(sdN \log N)$ operations using O(N) memory, where $N$ is the number of points and $s$ is the dimension, which is a significant reduction in the construction cost as compared to higher order polynomial lattice rules. Numerical experiments confirm that the performance of our constructed point sets often outperforms in terms of our introduced quality criterion the performances of higher order digital nets with Sobol' sequences and Niederreiter-Xing sequences used as interlaced components, indicating the usefulness of our algorithm.

Let $L_{q,\mu}$, $1\leq q\leq\infty$, denotes the weighted $L_q$ space of functions on the unit ball $\Bbb B^d$ with respect to weight $(1-\|x\|_2^2)^{\mu-\frac12},\,\mu\ge 0$, and let $W_{2,\mu}^r$ be the weighted Sobolev space on $\Bbb B^d$ with a Gaussian measure $\nu$. We investigate the probabilistic linear $(n,\delta)$-widths $\lambda_{n,\delta}(W_{2,\mu}^r,\nu,L_{q,\mu})$ and the $p$-average linear $n$-widths $\lambda_n^{(a)}(W_{2,\mu}^r,\mu,L_{q,\mu})_p$, and obtain their asymptotic orders for all $1\le q\le \infty$ and $0

 In this paper, we obtain sufficient conditions for the well-posed and unique solvability in a weighted Sobolev space for a class of inverse parabolic operator-differential equations of third order. The main part of the equation under consideration has a multiple characteristic. We establish a connection between the solvability conditions and the values of the norms of intermediate derivatives operators. These norms are estimated with respect to the norm of the operator generated by the main part of considered equation. The obtained results show the role of the lower boundary of the spectrum of an abstract operator appearing in the main part of the equation.

Let $S \subset \mathbb{R}^{n}$ be a~closed set such that for some $d \in [0,n]$ and $\varepsilon > 0$ the~% $d$-Hausdorff content satisfies $\mathcal{H}^{d}_{\infty}(S \bigcap B(x,r)) \geq \varepsilon r^{d}$ for all balls~% $B(x,r)$ centered in~% $S$ with $0 < r \le 1$. For $p \in (\max\{1,n-d\},\infty)$, $q \in (\max\{1,n-d\},p]$, and $m \in \mathbb{N}$, denote by $W_{p}^{m}(\mathbb{R}^{n},\gamma)$ the Sobolev space with Muckenhoupt weight $\gamma \in A_{\frac{p}{q}}(\mathbb{R}^{n})$. We give an~intrinsic characterization of the restrictions $\{D^{\alpha}F |_{S}: |\alpha| \le m-1\}$ to~% $S$ of the $(m-1)$-jets of the functions $F \in W_{p}^{m}(\mathbb{R}^{n},\gamma)$. In particular, for $p > n-1$ we characterize the trace space of the classical Sobolev space $W_{p}^{1}(\mathbb{R}^{n})$ to the closure $\overline{\Omega}$ of any open path-connected set~% $\Omega$. Our results extend those available for %in the case $p \in (n,\infty)$ without restrictions on~% $S$ and for %in the case $p \in (1,\infty)$ with much more stringent restrictions on~% $S$.

We study persistence properties of solutions to some canonical dispersive models, namely the semi-linear Schr\"odinger equation, the $k$-generalized Korteweg-de Vries equation and the Benjamin-Ono equation, in weighted Sobolev spaces $H^s(\R^n)\cap L^2(|x|^ldx),\;s,\,l>0$

In this paper we study the Gelfand and Kolmogorov numbers of Sobolev embeddings between weighted function spaces of Besov and Triebel-Lizorkin type with polynomial weights. The sharp asymptotic estimates are determined in the so-called non-limiting case.

We characterize all the real numbers a,b,c and 1

We study the initial value problem associated to the dispersion generalized Benjamin-Ono equation. Our aim is to establish well posedness results in weighted Sobolev spaces and to deduce from them some sharp unique continuation properties of solutions to this equation. In particular, we shall establish optimal decay rate for the solutions of this model.

The aim in the present paper is to study removable sets for weighted Orlicz-Sobolev spaces. We generalize the definition of porous sets and show that the porous sets lying in a hyperplane are removable.

In this paper order estimates for entropy numbers of embeddings of weighted Sobolev spaces on a John domain are obtained. In addition, we obtain order estimates for entropy numbers of summation operators on trees.

We give some necessary conditions and sufficient conditions for the compactness of the embedding of Sobolev spaces $W^{1,p}(\Omega,w) \to L^p(\Omega,w),$ where $w$ is some weight on a domain $\Omega \subset \Real^n$.

We consider both divergence and non-divergence parabolic equations on a half space in weighted Sobolev spaces. All the leading coefficients are assumed to be only measurable in the time and one spatial variable except one coefficient, which is assumed to be only measurable either in the time or the spatial variable. As functions of the other variables the coefficients have small bounded mean oscillation (BMO) semi-norms. The lower-order coefficients are allowed to blow up near the boundary with a certain optimal growth condition. As a corollary, we also obtain the corresponding results for elliptic equations.

We consider the initial value problem associated to the regularized Benjamin-Ono equation, rBO. Our aim is to establish local and global well-posedness results in weighted Sobolev spaces via contraction principle. We also prove a unique continuation property that implies that arbitrary polinomial type decay is not preserved yielding sharp results regarding well-posedness of the initial value problem in most weighted Sobolev spaces.

We describe a new, short proof of some facts relating the gap lengths of the spectrum of a potential of Hill's equation to its regularity. For example, a real potential is in a weighted Gevrey-Sobolev space if and only if its gap lengths belong to a similarly weighted sequence space. An extension of this result to complex potentials is proven as well. We also recover Trubowitz results about analytic potentials. The proof essentially employs the implicit function theorem.

We investigate quasi-Monte Carlo integration using higher order digital nets in weighted Sobolev spaces of arbitrary fixed smoothness $\alpha \in \mathbb{N}$, $\alpha \ge 2$, defined over the $s$-dimensional unit cube. We prove that randomly digitally shifted order $\beta$ digital nets can achieve the convergence of the root mean square worst-case error of order $N^{-\alpha}(\log N)^{(s-1)/2}$ when $\beta \ge 2\alpha$. The exponent of the logarithmic term, i.e., $(s-1)/2$, is improved compared to the known result by Baldeaux and Dick, in which the exponent is $s\alpha /2$. Our result implies the existence of a digitally shifted order $\beta$ digital net achieving the convergence of the worst-case error of order $N^{-\alpha}(\log N)^{(s-1)/2}$, which matches a lower bound on the convergence rate of the worst-case error for any cubature rule using $N$ function evaluations and thus is best possible.

A complete description of traces on $\mathbb{R}^{n}$ of functions from the weighted Sobolev space $W^{l}_{1}(\mathbb{R}^{n+1},\gamma)$, $l \in \mathbb{N}$, with weight $\gamma \in A^{\rm loc}_{1}(\mathbb{R}^{n+1})$ is obtained. In the case $l=1$ the proof of the trace theorems is based on a~special nonlinear algorithm for constructing a~system of tilings of the space~$\mathbb R^n$. As the trace of the space $W^1_1(\mathbb R^{n+1},\gamma)$ we have the new function space $Z(\{\gamma_{k,m}\})$.

We prove a regularity result for the Poisson problem $-\Delta u = f$, $u |\_{\pa \PP} = g$ on a polyhedral domain $\PP \subset \RR^3$ using the \BK\ spaces $\Kond{m}{a}(\PP)$. These are weighted Sobolev spaces in which the weight is given by the distance to the set of edges \cite{Babu70, Kondratiev67}. In particular, we show that there is no loss of $\Kond{m}{a}$--regularity for solutions of strongly elliptic systems with smooth coefficients. We also establish a ``trace theorem'' for the restriction to the boundary of the functions in $\Kond{m}{a}(\PP)$.

In this work we continue our study initiated in \cite{GFGP} on the uniqueness properties of real solutions to the IVP associated to the Benjamin-Ono (BO) equation. In particular, we shall show that the uniqueness results established in \cite{GFGP} do not extend to any pair of non-vanishing solutions of the BO equation. Also, we shall prove that the uniqueness result established in \cite{GFGP} under a hypothesis involving information of the solution at three different times can not be relaxed to two different times.
