We discuss smoothing effects of homogeneous dispersive equations with constant coefficients. In the case where the characteristic root is positively homogeneous, time-global smoothing estimates are known. It is also known that a dispersiveness condition is necessary for smoothing effects. We show time-global smoothing estimates where the characteristic root is not necessarily homogeneous. Our results give a sufficient condition so that lower order terms can be absorbed by the principal part, and also indicate that smoothing effects may be caused by lower order terms in the case where the dispersiveness condition fails to hold.

The aim of this paper is to study the Lelong number, the integrability index and the Monge–Ampère mass at the origin of an S^1-invariant plurisubharmonic function on a balanced domain in C^n under the Schwarz symmetrization. We prove that n times the integrability index is exactly the Lelong number of the symmetrization, and if the function is further toric with a single pole at the origin, then the Monge–Ampère mass is always decreasing under the symmetrization.

In this paper, we derive an a-posteriori error indicator for the Generalized Multiscale Finite Element Method (GMsFEM) framework. This error indicator is further used to develop an adaptive enrichment algorithm for the linear elliptic equation with multiscale high-contrast coefficients. The GMsFEM, which has recently been introduced in [13], allows solving multiscale parameter-dependent problems at a reduced computational cost by constructing a reduced-order representation of the solution on a coarse grid. The main idea of the method consists of (1) the construction of snapshot space,(2) the construction of the offline space, and (3) the construction of the online space (the latter for parameter-dependent problems). In [13], it was shown that the GMsFEM provides a flexible tool to solve multiscale problems with a complex input space by generating appropriate snapshot, offline, and online spaces. In this paper, we
