This condition is also sufficient when the symbol $p(\\xi)$ of $P(D_x)$ has at most logarithmic growth. If $p(\\xi)$ has super-logarithmic growth, we show that the global hypoellipticity of $L$ depends on the change of sign of certain interactions of the coefficients with the symbol $p(\\xi).$ Moreover, the interplay between the order of vanishing of coefficients with the order of growth of $p(\\xi)$ plays a crucial role in the global hypoellipticity of $L$. We also describe completely the global hypoellipticity of $L$ in the case where $P(D_x)$ is positively homogeneous. Additionally, we explore the influence of irrational approximations of a real number in the global hypoellipticity.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2016-12-06T21:26:35.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "35B10", "35H10", "35S05", "58Jxx" ], "keywords": [ "global hypoellipticity", "pseudo-differential operator", "super-logarithmic growth", "real number", "number-theoretical nature appears" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
