Non trivial solutions of non-linear partial differential inequations and order cut-off

We derive necessary conditions on the space dimension such that a class of partial differential inequations admit a non trivial solution. We show that a nontrivial solution γ(γ : IR^N → IR^k) of this type of inequations may exist only if the dimension N is sufficiently large with respect to the mini...

Description
Summary:We derive necessary conditions on the space dimension such that a class of partial differential inequations admit a non trivial solution. We show that a nontrivial solution γ(γ : IR^N → IR^k) of this type of inequations may exist only if the dimension N is sufficiently large with respect to the minimal order of the partial differential operator which is investigated. Furthermore, we prove that the cut-off property is actually governed by the number of variables which genuinely occur in the operator. We briefly introduce a few motivations in statistical decision theory that lead to such inequations and dimension cut-off phenomenon.
