More firms, more competition? The case of the fourth operator in France's mobile phone market
2010
Accepted, Forthcoming; International audience; To foster competition the French government authorized a fourth operator, ‘Free', to enter the country's mobile phone market at the end of 2009 alongside Orange, SFR and Bouygues Telecom (BT), who held respectively one-half, one-third and one-sixth of the market. By using a stylized model of France's phone market, we have examined what we call the regulator's nightmares and dreams. If Cournot competition is in place before Free's entry, minimizing the total profit fails to maximize the consumer surplus and the total surplus; the maximum most realistic price fall is 6.7% compared to three-way competition and could be 1.7% only; if Orange, SFR an…
Vacuum induced berry phase: Theory and experimental proposal
2003
We investigate quantum effects in geometric phases arising when a two-level system is interacting with a quantized electromagnetic field. When the system is adiabatically driven along a closed loop in the parameter space, signatures of the field quantization are observable in the geometric phase. We propose a feasible experiment to measure these effects in cavity QED and also analyse the semi-classical limit, recovering the usual Berry phase results.
The composite operator method route to the 2D Hubbard model and the cuprates
2018
In this review paper, we illustrate a possible route to obtain a reliable solution of the 2D Hubbard model and an explanation for some of the unconventional behaviours of underdoped high-$T_\text{c}$ cuprate superconductors within the framework of the composite operator method. The latter is described exhaustively in its fundamental philosophy, various ingredients and robust machinery to clarify the reasons behind its successful applications to many diverse strongly correlated systems, controversial phenomenologies and puzzling materials.
On ( p ( x ), q ( x ))‐Laplace equations in ℝN without Ambrosetti‐Rabinowitz condition
2021
In the present work, we consider a (p(x), q(x))-elliptic equation describing the behavior of a double-phase anisotropic problem which has relevance in electrorheological fluid applications. The analysis leads to the existence of weak (nonnegative) solutions in the special case of potential terms with critical frequency and a superlinear reaction term. In order to prove the existence result, we combine critical point theory of mountain pass type with related topological and variational methods. Basically, the approach is variational, but we do not impose any Ambrosetti-Rabinowitz type condition for the superlinearity of the reaction. More specifically, we apply the Euler-Lagrange functional …
Abstract Estimates of the Rate of Convergence for Optimal Control Problems
1997
A method for solving optimal control problems with general elliptic operators is presented and analyzed. Especially, estimates of the rate of convergence for the control problems with the proposed approach are derived independently of the underlying approximation method. Some numerical experiments with the proposed method are included.
Boundary accessibility and elliptic harmonic measures
1988
Suppose G is a bounded domain in R n such that the complement of G satisfies a capacity dcnsity condition. It is shown that all elliptic measures in G have a support set with Moreover, the capacity density condition cannot be removed. A nonlinear version of the result is also given.
Form-perturbation theory for higher-order elliptic operators and systems by singular potentials
2020
We give a form-perturbation theory by singular potentials for scalar elliptic operators onL2(Rd)of order 2mwith Hölder continuous coefficients. The form-bounds are obtained from anL1functional analytic approach which takes advantage of both the existence ofm-gaussian kernel estimates and the holomorphy of the semigroup inL1(Rd).We also explore the (local) Kato class potentials in terms of (local) weak compactness properties. Finally, we extend the results to elliptic systems and singular matrix potentials.This article is part of the theme issue ‘Semigroup applications everywhere’.
Lp-uniqueness for elliptic operators with unbounded coefficients in RN
AbstractLet A be an elliptic operator with unbounded and sufficiently smooth coefficients and let μ be a (sub)-invariant measure of the operator A. In this paper we give sufficient conditions guaranteeing that the closure of the operator (A,Cc∞(RN)) generates a sub-Markovian strongly continuous semigroup of contractions in Lp(RN,μ). Applications are given in the case when A is a generalized Schrödinger operator.
Control Design for Discrete-Time Fuzzy Systems with Disturbance Inputs via Delta Operator Approach
2013
Published version of an article in the journal: Mathematical Problems in Engineering. Also available from the publisher: http://dx.doi.org/10.1155/2013/724918 Open Access This paper is concerned with the problem of passive control design for discrete-time Takagi-Sugeno (T-S) fuzzy systems with time delay and disturbance input via delta operator approach. The discrete-time passive performance index is established in this paper for the control design problem. By constructing a new type ofLyapunov-Krasovskii function (LKF) in delta domain, and utilizing some fuzzy weighing matrices, a new passive performance condition is proposed for the system under consideration. Based on the condition, a st…
