    Proving Holder Continuity for Composite Functions

    Concerning to "we claim that u^\gamma is \alpha-Hölder continuous", this comes from the definition and the fact that the LHS of the inequality on the line right above is finite. The key point here is to deal with f \circ g, like u(x)^\alpha = f(u(x)) with f(t) =t^\alpha.

    Proving Holder Continuity for Composite Functions

    According the theorem in that post, the result is limited to the case when the function u is bounded and bounded away from zero.

    Why vacuum Einstein equations are hyperbolic equations?

    Oh thanks, I am reading. BTW, I have another approach: Consider the Lorentzian metric d{s^2} = - dt \otimes dt + {g_{ij}}(x,t)d{x^i} \otimes d{x^j}. Einstein equations in vacuum, i.e., G_{ij} = 0 become \frac{{{\partial ^2}{g_{ij}}}}{{\partial {t^2}}} + 2{R_{ij}} +...

    Why vacuum Einstein equations are hyperbolic equations?

    Thanks, what I am expecting is to show that studying Cauchy problems for Einstein equations make sense. My advisor suggests me to show that the vacuum Einstein equation is indeed a hyperbolic equation but I am still not able. Having this fact, it is reasonable to study Cauchy problem for the...

    Why vacuum Einstein equations are hyperbolic equations?

    I learn from a book saying that the vacuum Einstein equation can be rewritten as {\partial _t}{g_{\alpha \beta }} = - 2N{k_{\alpha \beta }} + {\mathbb{L}_X}{g_{\alpha \beta }} and {\partial _t}{k_{\alpha \beta }} = - {\nabla _\alpha }{\nabla _\beta }N + N\left( {{R_{\alpha \beta }} +...

    Why vacuum Einstein equations are hyperbolic equations?

    Hello friends, I am now interested in Einstein scalar field equations with a very little knowledge about Physics. I would like to ask why vacuum Einstein equations are hyperbolic equations? As far as I know that for 3+1-dimensional manifold V, we can convert the vacuum Einstein equations as a...

    Einstein-scalar field action -> Einstein-scalar field equations

    Einstein-scalar field action --> Einstein-scalar field equations Dear friends, Just a small question I do not know how to derive. From the Einstein-scalar field action defined by S\left( {g,\psi } \right) = \int_{} {\left( {R(g) - \frac{1}{2}\left| {\nabla \psi } \right|_g^2 - V\left(...

    Einstein Vacuum Equation, Vacuum Constraint Equations

    Having a Lorentzian 4-manifold, the Einstein vacuum equations of general relativity read \overline R_{\alpha \beta} - \frac{1}{2}\overline g_{\alpha\beta}\overline R=0 where \overline R the scalar curvature, \overline g_{\alpha\beta} the metric tensor and \overline R_{\alpha\beta} the Ricci...
