We derive a lower bound for the Wehrl entropy in the setting of SU(1,1). For asymptotically high values of the quantum number k, this bound coincides with the analogue of the Lieb-Wehrl conjecture for SU(1,1) coherent states. The bound on the entropy is proved via a sharp norm bound. The norm bound is deduced by using an interesting identity for Fisher information of SU(1,1) coherent state transforms on the hyperbolic plane and a new family of sharp Sobolev inequalities on the hyperbolic plane. To prove the sharpness of our Sobolev inequality, we need to first prove a uniqueness theorem for solutions of a semi-linear Poisson equation (which is actually the Euler-Lagrange equation for the variational problem associated with our sharp Sobolev inequality) on the hyperbolic plane. Uniqueness theorems proved for similar semi-linear equations in the past do not apply here and the new features of our proof are of independent interest, as are some of the consequences we derive from the new family of Sobolev inequalities. We also prove Fisher information identities for the groups SU(n,1) and SU(n,n).

This paper is concerned with the anisotropic singular behaviour of the solution of elliptic boundary value problems near edges. The paper deals first with the description of the analytic properties of the solution in newly defined, anisotropically weighted Sobolev spaces. The finite element method with anisotropic, graded meshes and piecewise linear shape functions is then investigated for such problems; the schemes exhibit optimal convergence rates with decreasing mesh size. For the proof, new local interpolation error estimates in anisotropically weighted spaces are derived. Moreover, it is shown that the condition number of the stiffness matrix is not affected by the mesh grading. Finally, a numerical experiment is described, that shows a good agreement of the calculated approximation orders with the theoretically predicted ones.

Consider a domain Ω ⊂ RN with Lipschitz boundary and let d(x) = dist(x, ∂Ω). It is well known for p ∈ (1, ∞) that u ∈ W1,p 0 (Ω) if and only if u/d ∈ Lp (Ω) and ∇u ∈ Lp (Ω). Recently a new characterization appeared: it was proved that u ∈ W1,p 0 (Ω) if and only if u/d ∈ L1 (Ω) and ∇u ∈ Lp (Ω). In the author's bachelor thesis the condition u/d ∈ L1 (Ω) was weakened to the condition u/d ∈ L1,p (Ω), but only in the case N = 1. In this master thesis we prove that for N ≥ 1, p ∈ (1, ∞) and q ∈ [1, ∞) we have u ∈ W1,p 0 (Ω) if and only if u/d ∈ L1,q (Ω) and ∇u ∈ Lp (Ω). Moreover, we present a counterexample to this equivalence in the case q = ∞. 1

Liver perfusion can be modelled by Darcy's flow in multiple connected com- partments. The first part of the present thesis shows in detail the existence of a solution to the multi-compartmental model. The flow in each compartment in this model is characterized by a permeability tensor, which is obtained from the geometry of liver vasculature. It turns out that this tensor might be singular, which potentially causes solvability problems. The second part deals with this abnormality in one compartment. By using the theory of degenerate Sobolev spaces, an appropriate weak formulation is defined. Analogues of Poincar'e and traces inequalities in this degenerate setting are proved, which also imply the existence of the weak solutions. In addition, this part justifies another possibil- ity how to deal with degenerate permeability, which is regularizing the tensor by adding a small isotropic permeability to it. In the third part, the aim is to find subdomains of autonomous perfusion with respect to the source positions. This is formulated as a minimization problem and several numerical results are presented. 1

In this work we study the existence of nontrivial weak solutions for some Hamiltonian elliptic systems in dimension two, involving a potential function and nonlinearities which possess maximal growth with respect to a critical curve (hyperbola). We consider four different cases. First, we study Hamiltonian systems in bounded domains with potential function identically zero. The second case deals with systems of equations on the whole space, the potential function is bounded from below for some positive constant and satisfies some integrability conditions, while the nonlinearities involve weight functions containing a singulatity at the origin. In the third case, we consider systems with coercivity potential functions and nonlinearities with weight functions which may have singularity at the origin or decay at infinity. In the last case, we study Hamiltonian systems, where the potential can be unbounded or can vanish at infinity. To establish the existence of solutions, we use variational methods combined with Trudinger-Moser type inequalities for Lorentz-Sobolev spaces and a finite-dimensional approximation. / Neste trabalho estudamos a existência de soluções fracas não triviais para sistemas hamiltonianos do tipo elíptico, em dimensão dois, envolvendo uma função potencial e não linearidades tendo crescimento exponencial máximo com respeito a uma curva (hipérbole) crítica. Consideramos quatro casos diferentes. Primeiramente estudamos sistemas de equações em domínios limitados com potencial nulo. No segundo caso, consideramos sistemas de equações em domínio ilimitado, sendo a função potencial limitada inferiormente por alguma constante positiva e satisfazendo algumas de integrabilidade, enquanto as não linearidades contêm funções-peso tendo uma singularidade na origem. A classe seguinte envolve potenciais coercivos e não linearidades com funções peso que podem ter singularidade na origem ou decaimento no infinito. O quarto caso é dedicado ao estudo de sistemas em que o potencial pode ser ilimitado ou decair a zero no infinito. Para estabelecer a existência de soluções, utilizamos métodos variacionais combinados com desigualdades do tipo Trudinger-Moser em espaços de Lorentz-Sobolev e a técnica de aproximação em dimensão finita.

Nesse trabalho, estudamos a equação de Schrödinger não-linear com uma função potencial delta atrativa. As soluções para essa equação tem uma componente localizada e uma dispersiva. Além de estudar o comportamento das soluções dessa equação em espaços de Sobolev clássicos, mostramos algumas propriedades do grupo unitário em espaços Lp, L2 com peso, Sobolev com peso e assim obtemos alguns resultados de boa colocação local e global das soluções. O ponto central desta tese é mostrarmos a existência de uma variedade invariante centro que irá consistir de órbitas periódicas no tempo. / In this work, we study the nonlinear Schrodinger equation with an attractive delta function potential.The solutions to this equation have a localized and a dispersive component. In addition to studying the behavior of solutions of this equation in classical Sobolev space, we show some properties for the unitary group in Lp, weighted L2 and Sobolev spaces and so we get some results of local and global well-posedness of solutions. The central theme this thesis is to show the existence of a center invariant manifold, which will consist of time-periodic orbits.
