Locally bounded linear differential operators

AI Thread Summary
The discussion revolves around the concept of locally bounded differential operators within the context of the Schwartz space of smooth functions on a sigma-compact manifold. The original poster suggests that this topic is central to understanding the Navier-Stokes equations from a mathematical operator perspective. They reference their study of bornology, which addresses the boundedness of sets and functions, as a foundational concept for their inquiry. However, other participants express confusion about the specific problem being addressed, emphasizing the need for clarity in the formulation of the question. The conversation highlights the abstract nature of the topic and the challenges in articulating a concrete problem statement.

The following is a problem statement.

locally bounded (or locally (weakly) compact) differential operators of the Schwartz space of smooth functions on a sigma-compact manifold

I realize this is very abstract. I expect the solution to be just as abstract.

Thanks in advance.

That's not a question, and we're not in the habit of doing people's work for them anyway. What is the problem you're working on, and what have you done so far?
 
I believe the above problem is the core of the Navier-Stokes equation. It describes the inner working of the NS equations from a mathematical operator's point-of-view.

I have studied bornology from Hogbe-Nlend's books Bornology and Functional Analysis; Nuclear and Conuclear Spaces. According to Wikipedia, bornology is the minimum amount of structure to address boundedness of sets and functions.

The next closest thing I have come across is Nuclear Convex Bornological Spaces.

What problem? You just said a kind of operator. It would be like me starting a thread and saying "bounded linear function". What are you trying to prove?
 
Insights auto threads is broken atm, so I'm manually creating these for new Insight articles. In Dirac’s Principles of Quantum Mechanics published in 1930 he introduced a “convenient notation” he referred to as a “delta function” which he treated as a continuum analog to the discrete Kronecker delta. The Kronecker delta is simply the indexed components of the identity operator in matrix algebra Source: https://www.physicsforums.com/insights/what-exactly-is-diracs-delta-function/ by...
Suppose ,instead of the usual x,y coordinate system with an I basis vector along the x -axis and a corresponding j basis vector along the y-axis we instead have a different pair of basis vectors ,call them e and f along their respective axes. I have seen that this is an important subject in maths My question is what physical applications does such a model apply to? I am asking here because I have devoted quite a lot of time in the past to understanding convectors and the dual...
Thread 'Imaginary Pythagoras'
I posted this in the Lame Math thread, but it's got me thinking. Is there any validity to this? Or is it really just a mathematical trick? Naively, I see that i2 + plus 12 does equal zero2. But does this have a meaning? I know one can treat the imaginary number line as just another axis like the reals, but does that mean this does represent a triangle in the complex plane with a hypotenuse of length zero? Ibix offered a rendering of the diagram using what I assume is matrix* notation...
