We prove$L$^{$q$}-inequalities for the gradient of the Green potential ($Gf$) in bounded, connected NTA-domains in$R$^{$n$},$n$≥2. These domains may have a highly non-rectifiable boundary and in the plane the set of all bounded simply connected NTA-domains coincides with the set of all quasidiscs. We get a restriction on the exponent$q$for which our inequalities are valid in terms of the validity of a reverse Hölder inequality for the Green function close to the boundary.

Computational techniques derived from digital signal processing are playing a significant role in the security and digital copyrights of audio, video, and visual arts. In light of the quantum computing, the corresponding algorithms are becoming a new research direction in today’s high-technology world. The nature of quantum computer guarantees the security of quantum data, so a safe and effective quantum watermarking algorithm is in demand. Quantum watermarking is the technique that embeds the invisible quantum signal into quantum multimedia data for copyright protection. This research presents a quantum watermarking algorithm in discrete M-band wavelet domain. Different from most traditional algorithms, we propose a new algorithm which applies quantum watermarking in M-band wavelet domain. Assured by the Heisenberg uncertainty principle and quantum no-cloning theorem, the security of quantum watermark can reach a very high-level standard. In other words, this watermarking algorithm can defeat nearly all attackers, no matter using classical computer or quantum computer.

We propose second order accurate discontinuous Galerkin (DG) schemes which satisfy a strict maximum principle for general nonlinear convection-diffusion equations on unstructured triangular meshes. Motivated by genuinely high order maximum-principle-satisfying DG schemes for hyperbolic conservation laws, we prove that under suitable time step restriction for forward Euler time stepping, for general nonlinear convection-diffusion equations, the same scaling limiter coupled with second order DG methods preserves the physical bounds indicated by the initial condition while maintaining uniform second order accuracy. Similar to the purely convection cases, the limiters are mass conservative and easy to implement. Strong stability preserving (SSP) high order time discretizations will keep the maximum principle. Following the idea in earlier work, we extend the schemes to two-dimensional convection-diffusion equations on triangular meshes. There are no geometric constraints on the mesh such as angle acuteness. Numerical results including incompressible Navier-Stokes equations are presented to validate and demonstrate the effectiveness of the numerical methods.

A solution to a Dirichlet problem for the complex Monge-Ampère operator is characterized as a minimizer of an energy functional. A mutual energy estimate and a generalization of Hölder's inequality is proved. A comparison is made with corresponding results in classical potential theory.
