Stability of the equilibrium state of the equation system of a viscous barotropic gas in the model of atmosphere
2006
We consider the system of equations of viscous gas motion whose pressure is related to the density by the law $p = h \varrho^\gamma$ with 1<γ <2, in a domain defined by two levels of geopotential. Under the force due to geopotential and the Coriolis force, we prove the stability of the equilibrium state in a suitable Sobolev space. Keywords: Viscous barotropic gas, Equilibrium state, Coriolis force Mathematics Subject Classification (2000): 35Q35, 76N15
Singularity tracking for Camassa-Holm and Prandtl's equations
2006
In this paper we consider the phenomenon of singularity formation for the Camassa-Holm equation and for Prandtl's equations. We solve these equations using spectral methods. Then we track the singularity in the complex plane estimating the rate of decay of the Fourier spectrum. This method allows us to follow the process of the singularity formation as the singularity approaches the real axis.
Self-dual modules over local rings of curve singularities
2006
Abstract Let C be a reduced curve singularity. C is called of finite self-dual type if there exist only finitely many isomorphism classes of indecomposable, self-dual, torsion-free modules over the local ring of C . In this paper it is shown that the singularities of finite self-dual type are those which dominate a simple plane singularity.
PIECEWISE SMOOTH REVERSIBLE DYNAMICAL SYSTEMS AT A TWO-FOLD SINGULARITY
2012
This paper focuses on the existence of closed orbits around a two-fold singularity of 3D discontinuous systems of the Filippov type in the presence of symmetries.
G. Herglotz’ Behandlung von Beschleunigungswellen in seiner Vorlesung «Mechanik der Kontinua» angewandt auf die Stosswellen von Christoffel
1981
Following a lecture delivered by Herglotz in 1925/26 we briefly treat acceleration waves in hyperelastic materials. Our main result is a divergence equation for the squared Euclidean norm of the so-called ‘wave vector’. We then apply Herglotz’ method (devised for acceleration waves) to the propagation of such first order discontinuities in elastic bodies as were treated by Christoffel in [1].
Critical Fracture Plane Under Multiaxial Random Loading by Means of Euler Angles Averaging
1999
ABSTRACT Several authors have experimentally observed that the position of the fatigue fracture plane strongly depends on the directions of the principal stresses or strains. The expected principal stress directions under multiaxial random loading are obtained herein by averaging the instantaneous values of the three Euler angles through some suitable weight functions, in order to take into account the main factors influencing the fatigue fracture behaviour. Then the correlation between such theoretical principal directions and the experimental fracture plane is examined for some biaxial random fatigue tests.
Stochastic response determination of nonlinear oscillators with fractional derivatives elements via the Wiener path integral
2014
A novel approximate analytical technique for determining the non-stationary response probability density function (PDF) of randomly excited linear and nonlinear oscillators endowed with fractional derivatives elements is developed. Specifically, the concept of the Wiener path integral in conjunction with a variational formulation is utilized to derive an approximate closed form solution for the system response non-stationary PDF. Notably, the determination of the non-stationary response PDF is accomplished without the need to advance the solution in short time steps as it is required by the existing alternative numerical path integral solution schemes which rely on a discrete version of the…
On new ways of group methods for reduction of evolution-type equations
2005
AbstractNew exact solutions of the evolution-type equations are constructed by means of a non-point (contact) symmetries. Also we analyzed the discrete symmetries of Maxwell equations in vacuum and decoupled ones to the four independent equations that can be solved independently.
Monotonicity properties of zeros of generalized Airy functions

We show, among other things, that the positive zeros of a solution ofy ″+x α y=0,y(0)=0 decrease to 1 asα increases, 0〈α〈∞.
Forward and backward diffusion approximations for haploid exchangeable population models
2001
Abstract The class of haploid population models with non-overlapping generations and fixed population size N is considered such that the family sizes ν1,…,νN within a generation are exchangeable random variables. A criterion for weak convergence in the Skorohod sense is established for a properly time- and space-scaled process counting the number of descendants forward in time. The generator A of the limit process X is constructed using the joint moments of the offspring variables ν1,…,νN. In particular, the Wright–Fisher diffusion with generator Af(x)= 1 2 x(1−x)f″(x) appears in the limit as the population size N tends to infinity if and only if the condition lim N→∞ E((ν 1 −1) 3 )/(N Var …
