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.

Let M be a complete non-compact Riemannian manifold whose sectional curvature is bounded between two constants-k and K. Then one expects that the heat diffusion in such a manifold behaves like the heat diffusion in Euclidean space. The purpose of this paper is to give a justi-fication of such a statement.

This article focuses on the discrete double-curl operator arising in the Maxwell equation that models three dimensional photonic crystals with face centered cubic lattice. The discrete double-curl operator is the degenerate coefficient matrix of the generalized eigenvalue problems (GEVP) due to the Maxwell equation. We derive an eigendecomposition of the degenerate coefficient matrix and explore an explicit form of orthogonal basis for the range and null spaces of this matrix. To solve the GEVP, we apply these theoretical results to project the GEVP to a standard eigenvalue problem (SEVP), which involves only the eigenspace associated with the nonzero eigenvalues of the GEVP and therefore the zero eigenvalues are excluded and will not degrade the computational efficiency. This projected SEVP can be solved efficiently by the inverse Lanczos method. The linear systems within the inverse Lanczos method are well-conditioned and can be solved efficiently by the conjugate gradient method without using a preconditioner. We also demonstrate how two forms of matrix-vector multiplications, which are the most costly part of the inverse Lanczos method, can be computed by fast Fourier transformation due to the eigendecomposition to significantly reduce the computation cost. Integrating all of these findings and techniques, we obtain a fast eigenvalue solver. The solver has been implemented by MATLAB and successfully solves each of a set of $5.184$ million dimension eigenvalue problems within $50$ to $104$ minutes on a workstation with two Intel Quad-C ore Xeon X5687 3.6 GHz CPUs.
