OMA: From Research to Engineering Applications
2021
Ambient vibration modal identification, also known as Operational Modal Analysis (OMA), aims to identify the modal properties of a structure based on vibration data collected when the structure is under its operating conditions, i.e., when there is no initial excitation or known artificial excitation. This method for testing and/or monitoring historical buildings and civil structures, is particularly attractive for civil engineers concerned with the safety of complex historical structures. However, in practice, not only records of external force are missing, but uncertainties are involved to a significant extent. Hence, stochastic mechanics approaches are needed in combination with the iden…
Bifurcation and multiplicity results for nonlinear elliptic problems involving critical Sobolev exponents
1984
Abstract In this paper we study the existence of nontrivial solutions for the boundary value problem { − Δ u − λ u − u | u | 2 ⁎ − 2 = 0 in Ω u = 0 on ∂ Ω when Ω⊂Rn is a bounded domain, n ⩾ 3, 2 ⁎ = 2 n ( n − 2 ) is the critical exponent for the Sobolev embedding H 0 1 ( Ω ) ⊂ L p ( Ω ) , λ is a real parameter. We prove that there is bifurcation from any eigenvalue λj of − Δ and we give an estimate of the left neighbourhoods ] λ j ⁎ , λj] of λj, j∈N, in which the bifurcation branch can be extended. Moreover we prove that, if λ ∈ ] λ j ⁎ , λj[, the number of nontrivial solutions is at least twice the multiplicity of λj. The same kind of results holds also when Ω is a compact Riemannian manif…
Some spectral mapping theorems through local spectral theory
2004
The spectral mapping theorems for Browder spectrum and for semi-Browder spectra have been proved by several authors [14], [29] and [33], by using different methods. We shall employ a local spectral argument to establish these spectral mapping theorems, as well as, the spectral mapping theorem relative to some other classical spectra. We also prove that ifT orT* has the single-valued extension property some of the more important spectra originating from Fredholm theory coincide. This result is extended, always in the caseT orT* has the single valued extension property, tof(T), wheref is an analytic function defined on an open disc containing the spectrum ofT. In the last part we improve a re…
Coupled fixed point theorems for multi-valued nonlinear contraction mappings in partially ordered metric spaces
2011
Abstract In this paper, we establish two coupled fixed point theorems for multi-valued nonlinear contraction mappings in partially ordered metric spaces. The theorems presented extend some results due to Ciric (2009) [3] . An example is given to illustrate the usability of our results.
Infinitely many weak solutions for a mixed boundary value system with (p_1,…,p_m)-Laplacian
2014
The aim of this paper is to prove the existence of infinitely many weak solu- tions for a mixed boundary value system with (p1, . . . , pm)-Laplacian. The approach is based on variational methods.
On the Cauchy problem for microlocally symmetrizable hyperbolic systems with log-Lipschitz coefficients
2017
International audience; The present paper concerns the well-posedness of the Cauchy problem for microlocally symmetrizable hyperbolic systems whose coefficients and symmetrizer are log-Lipschitz continuous, uniformly in time and space variables. For the global in space problem we establish energy estimates with finite loss of derivatives, which is linearly increasing in time. This implies well-posedness in H ∞ , if the coefficients enjoy enough smoothness in x. From this result, by standard arguments (i.e. extension and convexification) we deduce also local existence and uniqueness. A huge part of the analysis is devoted to give an appropriate sense to the Cauchy problem, which is not evide…
Feynman-Kac formulae
2015
In this chapter, we establish the connection between the deterministic EIT forward problem and the class of reflecting diffusion processes. We proceed along the lines of the recent paper [137] by Piiroinen and the author: We derive Feynman-Kac formulae in terms of these processes for the solutions to the forward problems corresponding to the continuum model and the complete electrode model, respectively. These results extend the classical Feynman-Kac formulae for elliptic boundary value problems in smooth domains and with smooth coefficients which were obtained in the 1980s and 1990s using the Feller semigroup approach and Ito stochastic calculus. In contrast to this well-studied situation,…
Green’s function and existence of solutions for a third-order three-point boundary value problem
2019
The solutions of third-order three-point boundary value problem x‘‘‘ + f(t, x) = 0, t ∈ [a, b], x(a) = x‘(a) = 0, x(b) = kx(η), where η ∈ (a, b), k ∈ R, f ∈ C([a, b] × R, R) and f(t, 0) ≠ 0, are the subject of this investigation. In order to establish existence and uniqueness results for the solutions, attention is focused on applications of the corresponding Green’s function. As an application, also one example is given to illustrate the result. Keywords: Green’s function, nonlinear boundary value problems, three-point boundary conditions, existence and uniqueness of solutions.
Existence of a unique solution for a third-order boundary value problem with nonlocal conditions of integral type
2021
The existence of a unique solution for a third-order boundary value problem with integral condition is proved in several ways. The main tools in the proofs are the Banach fixed point theorem and the Rus’s fixed point theorem. To compare the applicability of the obtained results, some examples are considered.
Determination of sugars in depilatory formulations: a green analytical method employing infrared detection and partial least squares regression.
2011
A green analytical method was developed for the analysis of sugar-based depilatories. Three independent partial least squares (PLS) regression models were built for the direct determination of glucose, fructose and maltose without any sample pretreatment based on their attenuated total reflectance - Fourier transform infrared (ATR-FTIR) spectra. The models showed adequate prediction capabilities with root-mean-square-errors of prediction ranging from 7.04 to 12.55 mg sugar g(-1) sample. As a reference procedure, gradient liquid chromatography with on-line infrared detection, employing background correction based on cubic smoothing splines, was used. The analysis revealed changes in the suga…
