Generic properties of singular trajectories
1997
Abstract Let M be a σ-compact C∞ manifold of dimension d ≥ 3. Consider on M a single-input control system : x (t) = F 0 (x(t)) + u(t) F 1 (x(t)) , where F0, F1 are C∞ vector fields on M and the set of admissible controls U is the set of bounded measurable mappings u : [0Tu]↦ R , Tu > 0. A singular trajectory is an output corresponding to a control such that the differential of the input-output mapping is not of maximal rank. In this article we show that for an open dense subset of the set of pairs of vector fields (F0, F1), endowed with the C∞-Whitney topology, all the singular trajectories are with minimal order and the corank of the singularity is one.
Comments on the validity of a common category of constitutive equations
1974
Many constitutive equations for viscoelastic materials which have appeared in the literature are modifications of the linear viscoelasticity model. Their general form is: [5] $$\tau = \int\limits_0^\infty {(f_1 C + f_2 C^{ - 1)} ds.} $$ The memory functionsf 1 andf 2, are assumed to depend explicitly on either some instantaneous or some timeaveraged value of the invariants of the rate of strain. It is shown in this paper that the general theory of simple fluids with fading memory is based on certain assumptions of smoothness for the constitutive functional which are violated by constitutive equations of the type discussed. This implies that, should any real material obey eq. [5], with an ex…
On a time-depending Monge-Ampère type equation
2012
Abstract In this paper, we prove a comparison result between a solution u ( x , t ) , x ∈ Ω ⊂ R 2 , t ∈ ( 0 , T ) , of a time depending equation involving the Monge–Ampere operator in the plane and the solution of a conveniently symmetrized parabolic equation. To this aim, we prove a derivation formula for the integral of a smooth function g ( x , t ) over sublevel sets of u , { x ∈ Ω : u ( x , t ) ϑ } , ϑ ∈ R , having the same perimeter in R 2 .
On the problem of regularity in the Sobolev space Wloc1,n
2009
Abstract We prove that a variant of the Hencl's notion of A C λ n -mapping (see [S. Hencl, On the notions of absolute continuity for functions of several variables, Fund. Math. 173 (2002) 175–189]), in which λ is not a constant, produces a new solution to the problem of regularity in the Sobolev space W loc 1 , n .
Elementary symmetric functions of two solvents of a quadratic matrix equations
2008
Quadratic matrix equations occur in a variety of applications. In this paper we introduce new permutationally invariant functions of two solvents of the n quadratic matrix equation X^2- L1X - L0 = 0, playing the role of the two elementary symmetric functions of the two roots of a quadratic scalar equation. Our results rely on the connection existing between the QME and the theory of linear second order difference equations with noncommutative coefficients. An application of our results to a simple physical problem is briefly discussed.
Star calculus on Jacobi manifolds
2002
Abstract We study the Gerstenhaber bracket on differential forms induced by the two main examples of Jacobi manifolds: contact manifolds and l.c.s. manifolds. Moreover, we obtain explicit expressions of the generating operators and the derivations on the algebra of multivector fields. We define star operators for contact manifolds and l.c.s. manifolds and we study some of its properties.
Total curvatures of compact complex submanifolds in $$C/P^n$$
1995
LetM be a complex submanifold in\(C/P^n\). We define the total curvatures ofM and we get a local interpretation of them. Finally, we give a topological characterization for the total (non-absolute) curvature of complex hypersurfaces in\(C/P^n\).
On the quasi-isometric and bi-Lipschitz classification of 3D Riemannian Lie groups.
2021
AbstractThis note is concerned with the geometric classification of connected Lie groups of dimension three or less, endowed with left-invariant Riemannian metrics. On the one hand, assembling results from the literature, we give a review of the complete classification of such groups up to quasi-isometries and we compare the quasi-isometric classification with the bi-Lipschitz classification. On the other hand, we study the problem whether two quasi-isometrically equivalent Lie groups may be made isometric if equipped with suitable left-invariant Riemannian metrics. We show that this is the case for three-dimensional simply connected groups, but it is not true in general for multiply connec…

A note on monolithic scattered compacta
2015
Abstract For a Banach space E, it is well-known that a necessary condition for E to have the controlled separable complementation property (CSCP, for short) is that the dual unit ball B E ⁎ be monolithic in the weak-star topology. We prove here that when X is a scattered first countable locally compact space, then monolithicity of X turns out to be sufficient for C 0 ( X ) to enjoy the CSCP.
