| Research Abstract |
M.Murata and K.Ishige studied uniqueness of nonnegative solutions of the Cauchy problem to second order parabolic equations, and gave optimal growth rates at infinity of the coefficients of equations via intrinsic metrics for equations. They further investigated the uniqueness problem deeply, and established a sharp and general uniqueness theorem which unifies all previous results on the uniqueness. This result was reviewed by such experts as A.Ancona, L.Salloff-Coste, K.Th. Sturm, E.B.Davies, A.Grigor'yan, and has been submitted.
M.Murata introduced a notion of semismall perturbation in the Martin theory for positive solutions of second order elliptic equations, established stably of the structure of positive solutions under semismall perturbations, and gave sufficient conditions for perturbations to be semismall. This result is related to non-uniqueness of nonnegative solutions of the Cauchy problem to second order parabolic equations, lifetime estimates of diffusion processes in probability theory, and the structure of positive solutions to elliptic equations. It is highly estimated by such experts as Y.Pinchover and R.O.Pinsky, and results related to it have been given recently by H.Aikawa and Y.Pinchover. M.Murata also published a survey on the structure of positive solutions to stationary Schrdinger equations.
M.Murata and K.Kurata published a book on the theory of elliptic and parabolic partial differential equations which is fundamental for the above and other investigations on partial differential equations . K.Kurata also gave several results on elliptic equations.
