Pseudo-differential operators with semi-quasielliptic symbols over \(p\)-adic fields (Q640941)

Pseudodifferential equations play an important role in \(p\)-adic (or non-archimedean) Functional Analysis, because of their influence in the applications, e.g., in certain new physical models (see references [1], [4], [7] and [12] of the present paper). \textit{S. Gindikin} and \textit{L. R. Volevich} [The method of Newton's polyhedron in the theory of partial differential equations. Mathematics and Its Applications (Soviet Series) 86. Dordrecht: Kluwer (1992; Zbl 0779.35001)] developed the method of Newton's polyhedron for some problems in the theory of partial differential equations. The authors of the present paper ``strongly believe that the geometric point of view of Gindikin and Volevich in partial differential equations has a meaningful and non-trivial counterpart in the \(p\)-adic setting.'' The main purpose of the present work is to study whether such a \(p\)-adic counterpart of the Gindikin-Volevich method exists. Firstly, the authors introduce the quasielliptic and semi-quasielliptic polynomials in the non-archimedean setting (with coefficients in the field \(\mathbb{Q}_p\) of the \(p\)-adic numbers) and give some basic properties that will be used later on. They establish, by using non-archimedean techniques, certain inequalities for the symbols that are similar to the ones given by Gindikin and Volevich. Then they study equations associated to \(p\)-adic pseudo-differential operators whose symbols are quasielliptic and semi-quasielliptic polynomials, respectively. The first kind of operators are a generalization of the elliptic ones considered by the second author in some of his previous works. The non-archimedean function spaces on which such equations have solutions are determined. Among them, we point out the space of infinitely pseudo-differentiable functions with respect to those equations, which are used to establish the existence of a regularization effect in certain parabolic equations. Reviewer's remark. I think that it would interesting, for future research work, to investigate the validity of the theory developed in the present paper when we replace \(\mathbb{Q}_p\) by a general non-archimedean non-trivially valued complete field. A first natural step would be to consider the case in which the non-archimedean field is the field \(\mathbb{C}_p\) of the \(p\)-adic complex numbers, i.e., the completion of the algebraic closure of \(\mathbb{Q}_p\).
