Infinite sets of conservation laws for linear and nonlinear field equations

1984

The relation between an infinite set of conservation laws of a linear field equation and the enveloping algebra of the space-time symmetry group is established. It is shown that each symmetric element of the enveloping algebra of the space-time symmetry group of a linear field equation generates a one-parameter group of symmetries of the field equation. The cases of the Maxwell and Dirac equations are studied in detail. Then it is shown that (at least in the sense of a power series in the ‘coupling constant’) the conservation laws of the linear case can be deformed to conservation laws of a nonlinear field equation which is obtained from the linear one by adding a nonlinear term invariant u…

A Note on the Nonlinear Landweber Iteration

2014

We reconsider the Landweber iteration for nonlinear ill-posed problems. It is known that this method becomes a regularization method in the case when the iteration is terminated as soon as the residual drops below a certain multiple of the noise level in the data. So far, all known estimates of this factor are greater than two. Here we derive a smaller factor that may be arbitrarily close to one depending on the type of nonlinearity of the underlying operator equation.

Lacunary bifurcation for operator equations and nonlinear boundary value problems on ℝN

1991

SynopsisWe consider nonlinear eigenvalue problems of the form Lu + F(u) = λu in a real Hilbert space, where L is a positive self-adjoint linear operator and F is a nonlinearity vanishing to higher order at u = 0. We suppose that there are gaps in the essential spectrum of L and use critical point theory for strongly indefinite functionals to derive conditions for the existence of non-zero solutions for λ belonging to such a gap, and for the bifurcation of such solutions from the line of trivial solutions at the boundary points of a gap. The abstract results are applied to the L2-theory of semilinear elliptic partial differential equations on ℝN. We obtain existence results for the general c…

Fiber Suspension Flows: Simulations and Existence Results

2016

Main result of this article is demonstrating the weak global in time well posedness result for the equations governing fiber suspension flows for sufficiently small initial data under mild assumptions about the nonlinear equation for fiber orientation dynamics and the constitutive law, thus extending the previous local in time results. The required estimate of growth of the H 2 norm is granted if the L ∞ norm of fiber orientation state variables remains bounded. This is the case for fiber orientation tensors.

On the geometric structure of the class of planar quadratic differential systems

2002

In this work we are interested in the global theory of planar quadratic differential systems and more precisely in the geometry of this whole class. We want to clarify some results and methods such as the isocline method or the role of rotation parameters. To this end, we recall how to associate a pencil of isoclines to each quadratic differential equation. We discuss the parameterization of the space of regular pencils of isoclines by the space of its multiple base points and the equivariant action of the affine group on the fibration of the space of regular quadratic differential equations over the space of regular pencils of isoclines. This fibration is principal, with a projective group…

On a nonlinear flux-limited equation arising in the transport of morphogens

2012

Abstract Motivated by a mathematical model for the transport of morphogens in biological systems, we study existence and uniqueness of entropy solutions for a mixed initial–boundary value problem associated with a nonlinear flux-limited diffusion system. From a mathematical point of view the problem behaves more as a hyperbolic system than a parabolic one.
