On vibrating thin membranes with mass concentrated near the boundary: an asymptotic analysis
2018
We consider the spectral problem \begin{equation*} \left\{\begin{array}{ll} -\Delta u_{\varepsilon}=\lambda(\varepsilon)\rho_{\varepsilon}u_{\varepsilon} & {\rm in}\ \Omega\\ \frac{\partial u_{\varepsilon}}{\partial\nu}=0 & {\rm on}\ \partial\Omega \end{array}\right. \end{equation*} in a smooth bounded domain $\Omega$ of $\mathbb R^2$. The factor $\rho_{\varepsilon}$ which appears in the first equation plays the role of a mass density and it is equal to a constant of order $\varepsilon^{-1}$ in an $\varepsilon$-neighborhood of the boundary and to a constant of order $\varepsilon$ in the rest of $\Omega$. We study the asymptotic behavior of the eigenvalues $\lambda(\varepsilon)$ and the eige…
A Dirichlet problem for the Laplace operator in a domain with a small hole close to the boundary
2016
We study the Dirichlet problem in a domain with a small hole close to the boundary. To do so, for each pair $\boldsymbol\varepsilon = (\varepsilon_1, \varepsilon_2 )$ of positive parameters, we consider a perforated domain $\Omega_{\boldsymbol\varepsilon}$ obtained by making a small hole of size $\varepsilon_1 \varepsilon_2 $ in an open regular subset $\Omega$ of $\mathbb{R}^n$ at distance $\varepsilon_1$ from the boundary $\partial\Omega$. As $\varepsilon_1 \to 0$, the perforation shrinks to a point and, at the same time, approaches the boundary. When $\boldsymbol\varepsilon \to (0,0)$, the size of the hole shrinks at a faster rate than its approach to the boundary. We denote by $u_{\bolds…
Discontinuous Gradient Constraints and the Infinity Laplacian
2012
Motivated by tug-of-war games and asymptotic analysis of certain variational problems, we consider a gradient constraint problem involving the infinity Laplace operator. We prove that this problem always has a solution that is unique if a certain regularity condition on the constraint is satisfied. If this regularity condition fails, then solutions obtained from game theory and $L^p$-approximation need not coincide.
Parametric and nonparametric A-Laplace problems: Existence of solutions and asymptotic analysis
2021
We give sufficient conditions for the existence of weak solutions to quasilinear elliptic Dirichlet problem driven by the A-Laplace operator in a bounded domain Ω. The techniques, based on a variant of the symmetric mountain pass theorem, exploit variational methods. We also provide information about the asymptotic behavior of the solutions as a suitable parameter goes to 0 + . In this case, we point out the existence of a blow-up phenomenon. The analysis developed in this paper extends and complements various qualitative and asymptotic properties for some cases described by homogeneous differential operators.
Two properties of Müntz spaces
2017
Abstract We show that Müntz spaces, as subspaces of C[0, 1], contain asymptotically isometric copies of c0 and that their dual spaces are octahedral.
Multiplicity results for systems of asymptotically linear second order equations
2002
Abstract We prove the existence and multiplicity of solutions, with prescribed nodal properties, for a BVP associated with a system of asymptotically linear second order equations. The applicability of an abstract continuation theorem is ensured by upper and lower bounds on the number of zeros of each component of a solution.
Multiplicity results for asymptotically linear equations, using the rotation number approach
2007
By using a topological approach and the relation between rotation numbers and weighted eigenvalues, we give some multiplicity results for the boundary value problem u′′ + f(t, u) = 0, u(0) = u(T) = 0, under suitable assumptions on f(t, x)/x at zero and infinity. Solutions are characterized by their nodal properties.
Multiplicity of Solutions for Second Order Two-Point Boundary Value Problems with Asymptotically Asymmetric Nonlinearities at Resonance
2007
Abstract Estimations of the number of solutions are given for various resonant cases of the boundary value problem 𝑥″ + 𝑔(𝑡, 𝑥) = 𝑓(𝑡, 𝑥, 𝑥′), 𝑥(𝑎) cos α – 𝑥′(𝑎) sin α = 0, 𝑥(𝑏) cos β – 𝑥′(𝑏) sin β = 0, where 𝑔(𝑡, 𝑥) is an asymptotically linear nonlinearity, and 𝑓 is a sublinear one. We assume that there exists at least one solution to the BVP.
Automorphism Groups of Certain Rational Hypersurfaces in Complex Four-Space
2014
The Russell cubic is a smooth contractible affine complex threefold which is not isomorphic to affine three-space. In previous articles, we discussed the structure of the automorphism group of this variety. Here we review some consequences of this structure and generalize some results to other hypersurfaces which arise as deformations of Koras–Russell threefolds.
Groups acting freely on Calabi-Yau threefolds embedded in a product of del Pezzo surfaces
2011
In this paper, we investigate quotients of Calabi-Yau manifolds $Y$ embedded in Fano varieties $X$, which are products of two del Pezzo surfaces — with respect to groups $G$ that act freely on $Y$. In particular, we revisit some known examples and we obtain some new Calabi-Yau varieties with small Hodge numbers. The groups $G$ are subgroups of the automorphism groups of $X$, which is described in terms of the automorphism group of the two del Pezzo surfaces.
