Area minimizing projective planes on the projective space of dimension 3 with the Berger metric
2016
Abstract We show that, among the projective planes embedded into the real projective space R P 3 endowed with the Berger metric, those of least area are exactly the ones obtained by projection of the equatorial spheres of S 3 . This result generalizes a classical result for the projective spaces with the standard metric.
Blow-up collocation solutions of nonlinear homogeneous Volterra integral equations
2011
In this paper, collocation methods are used for detecting blow-up solutions of nonlinear homogeneous Volterra-Hammerstein integral equations. To do this, we introduce the concept of "blow-up collocation solution" and analyze numerically some blow-up time estimates using collocation methods in particular examples where previous results about existence and uniqueness can be applied. Finally, we discuss the relationships between necessary conditions for blow-up of collocation solutions and exact solutions.
A Generalised RBF Finite Difference Approach to Solve Nonlinear Heat Conduction Problems on Unstructured Datasets
2011
Radial Basis Functions have traditionally been used to provide a continuous interpolation of scattered data sets. However, this interpolation also allows for the reconstruction of partial derivatives throughout the solution field, which can then be used to drive the solution of a partial differential equation. Since the interpolation takes place on a scattered dataset with no local connectivity, the solution is essentially meshless. RBF-based methods have been successfully used to solve a wide variety of PDEs in this fashion. Such full-domain RBF methods are highly flexible and can exhibit spectral convergence rates Madych & Nelson (1990). However, in their traditional implementation the fu…
A comparison analysis between unsymmetric and symmetric radial basis function collocation methods for the numerical solution of partial differential …
2002
Abstract In this article, we present a thorough numerical comparison between unsymmetric and symmetric radial basis function collocation methods for the numerical solution of boundary value problems for partial differential equations. A series of test examples was solved with these two schemes, different problems with different type of governing equations, and boundary conditions. Particular emphasis was paid to the ability of these schemes to solve the steady-state convection-diffusion equation at high values of the Peclet number. From the examples tested in this work, it was observed that the system of algebraic equations obtained with the symmetric method was in general simpler to solve …
The Bohr Radius of a Banach Space
2009
Following the scalar-valued case considered by Djakow and Ramanujan (A remark on Bohr’s theorem and its generalizations 14:175–178, 2000) we introduce, for each complex Banach space X and each \(1\le p0\). We study the p-Bohr radius of the Lebesgue spaces \(L^q(\mu )\) for different values of p and q. In particular we show that \(r_p(L^q(\mu ))=0\) whenever \(p<2\) and \(dim(L^q(\mu ))\ge 2\) and \(r_p(L^q(\mu ))=1\) whenever \(p\ge 2\) and \(p'\le q\le p\). We also provide some lower estimates for \(r_2(L^q(\mu ))\) for the values \(1\le q<2\).
THE ZONE MODULUS OF A LINK
2005
In this paper, we construct a conformally invariant functional for two-component links called the zone modulus of the link. Its main property is to give a sufficient condition for a link to be split. The zone modulus is a positive number, and its lower bound is 1. To construct a link with modulus arbitrarily close to 1, it is sufficient to consider two small disjoint spheres each one far from the other and then to construct a link by taking a circle enclosed in each sphere. Such a link is a split link. The situation is different when the link is non-split: we will prove that the modulus of a non-split link is greater than [Formula: see text]. This value of the modulus is realized by a spec…
On the automorphism group of the integral group ring of Sk wr Sn
1992
Abstract Let G = SkwrSn be the wreath product of two symmetric groups Sk and Sn. We prove that every normalized automorphism θ of the integral group ring Z G can be written in the form θ = γ ° τu, where γ is an automorphism of G and τu denotes the inner automorphism induced by a unit u in Q G.
Zur Existenz von Lösungen gewisser Randwertaufgaben
1971
With the aid of some known results about integral equations of the Hammerstein type there is proofed an existence theorem for the following class of boundary value problems−y″−l 2 y′=f(x,y),y(a)=y(b)=0,l 2>0 mit|f(x, y)|=0,l 3 (x)>0. The existence range is determined by the greatest eigenvalue of some linear problem.
Reduction of a Non—Linear Parabolic Initial—Boundary Value Problem to Cauchy Problem for a System of ODEs
2004
We consider the boundary value problem for a parabolic equation in the form $$\frac{{\partial {\text{u}}}}{{\partial t}} = \frac{1}{{p(x)}}\frac{\partial }{{\partial x}}\left( {p(x)f'(u)\frac{{\partial u}}{{\partial x}}} \right) + F(u),x \in (0,l),t0,$$ (1) $$u(0,x) = {u_0}(x),$$ (2) $$\frac{{\partial u}}{{\partial x}}{|_{x = 0}} = {f_1}\left( {{u_1}} \right),$$ (3) $$\frac{{\partial u}}{{\partial x}}{|_{x = 1}} = {f_2}\left( {{u_2}} \right),$$ (4) where u = u(t,x) is the unknown function, f 1, f 2, F, f are nonlinear functions and f′ (u) > 0, $${u_1} = {u_1}\left( t \right) \equiv u\left( {t,0} \right),{u_2} = {u_2}(t) \equiv u\left( {t,l} \right),f'\left( u \right) \equiv df(u)/du,p(x) \g…
On the Second Order Rational Difference Equation $$x_{n+1}=\beta +\frac{1}{x_n x_{n-1}}$$ x n + 1 = β + 1 x n x n - 1
2016
The author investigates the local and global stability character, the periodic nature, and the boundedness of solutions of the second-order rational difference equation $$x_{n+1}=\beta +\frac{1}{x_{n}x_{n-1}}, \quad n=0,1,\ldots ,$$ with parameter \(\beta \) and with arbitrary initial conditions such that the denominator is always positive. The main goal of the paper is to confirm Conjecture 8.1 and to solve Open Problem 8.2 stated by A.M. Amleh, E. Camouzis and G. Ladas in On the Dynamics of a Rational Difference Equations I (International Journal of Difference Equations, Volume 3, Number 1, 2008, pp.1–35).
