Keywords: Dirichlet-to-Neumann map, Mean value formulas, Equations on trees", "categories": [ "math.AP", "math.CA" ], "abstract": "In this paper we study the Dirichlet-to-Neumann map for solutions to mean value formulas on trees. We give two alternative definition of the Dirichlet-to-Neumann map. For the first definition (that involves the product of a \"gradient\" with a \"normal vector\") and for a linear mean value formula on the directed tree (taking into account only the successors of a given node) we obtain that the Dirichlet-to-Neumann map is given by $g\\mapsto cg'$ (here $c$ is an explicit constant). Notice that this is a local operator of order one. We also consider linear undirected mean value formulas (taking into account not only the successors but the ancestor and the successors of a given node) and prove a similar result. For this kind of mean value formula we include some existence and uniqueness results for the associated Dirichlet problem. Finally, we give an alternative definition of the Dirichlet-to-Neumann map (taking into account differences along a given branch of the tree). With this alternative definition, for a certain range of parameters, we obtain that the Dirichlet-to-Neumann map is given by a nonlocal operator (as happens for the classical Laplacian in the Euclidean space).", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2019-03-22T14:23:19.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "35J05", "35R30", "31E05", "37E25" ], "keywords": [ "dirichlet-to-neumann map", "alternative definition", "linear undirected mean value formulas", "linear mean value formula", "successors" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 27, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
