β¦ Synopsis
Let (S",go) be the unit sphere of Iw"+' endowed with its standard metric.
On one hand, according to the obstructions of Kazdan-Warner and Bourguignon-Ezin, the functions of t,he type 1 +hod, where h is a first spherical harmonic and where q4 is a conformal diffeomorphism of S", are not the scalar curvature of a metric conformal to go. On the other hand, we prove that we can associate to each function f a first spherical harmonic hf and a conformal diffeomorphism d such that fhf o q4 is the scalar curvature of a metric conformal to go. When n = 3, if f is symmetric at one of its maximum points, there exists hf a first spherical harmonic such that fhf is the scalar curvature of a metric conformal to go.

## Abstract In this paper, we give the rigorous derivation of a diffusion model for semiconductor devices, the starting point being a microscopic description of electron transport by means of a kinetic equation of Boltzmann type. The limit of a small mean free path at a large time leads to a diffus
A growth lemma for certain discrete symmetric Laplacians defined on a lattice Z d Ξ΄ = Ξ΄Z d β R d with spacing Ξ΄ is proved. The lemma implies a De Giorgi theorem, that the harmonic functions for these Laplacians are equi-HΓΆlder continuous, Ξ΄ β 0. These results are then applied to establish regularity
