Some inequalities of Glaeser-Bronšteĭn type (Q997586): Difference between revisions

Summary: The classical Glaeser estimate is a special case of the Bronšteĭn lemma which states the Lipschitz continuity of the roots \(\lambda_{j}(x)\) of a hyperbolic polynomial \(P(x,X)\) with coefficients \(a_{j}(x)\) depending on a real parameter. Here, we prove a pointwise estimate for the successive derivatives of the coefficients \(a_{j}(x)\) in terms of certain nonnegative functions which are symmetric polynomials of the roots \(\lambda_{j}(x)\) (hence, also of the coefficients \(a_{j}(x)\)). These inequalities are very helpful in the study of the Cauchy problem for homogeneous weakly hyperbolic equations of higher order.
