Moderately close Neumann inclusions for the Poisson equation
2016
We investigate the behavior of the solution of a mixed problem for the Poisson equation in a domain with two moderately close holes. If ϱ1 and ϱ2 are two positive parameters, we define a perforated domain Ω(ϱ1,ϱ2) by making two small perforations in an open set: the size of the perforations is ϱ1ϱ2, while the distance of the cavities is proportional to ϱ1. Then, if r∗ is small enough, we analyze the behavior of the solution for (ϱ1,ϱ2) close to the degenerate pair (0,r∗). Copyright © 2016 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
Two theorems of N. Wiener for solutions of quasilinear elliptic equations
1985
Relatively little is known about boundary behavior of solutions of quasilinear elliptic partial differential equations as compared to that of harmonic functions. In this paper two results, which in the harmonic case are due to N. Wiener, are generalized to a nonlinear situation. Suppose that G is a bounded domain in R n. We consider functions u: G--~R which are free extremals of the variational integral
On the relativistic heat equation in one space dimension
2012
We study the relativistic heat equation in one space dimension. We prove a local regularity result when the initial datum is locally Lipschitz in its support. We propose a numerical scheme that captures the known features of the solutions and allows for analysing further properties of their qualitative behaviour.

Quantum systems with fractal spectra
2002
Abstract We study Hamiltonians with singular spectra of Cantor type with a constant ratio of dissection and show strict connections between the decay properties of the states in the singular subspace and the algebraic number theory. More specifically, we study the decay properties of free n-particle systems and the computability of decaying and non-decaying states in the singular continuous subspace.
Chaotic behavior in deformable models: the double-well doubly periodic oscillators
2001
Abstract The motion of a particle in a one-dimensional perturbed double-well doubly periodic potential is investigated analytically and numerically. A simple physical model for calculating analytically the Melnikov function is proposed. The onset of chaos is studied through an analysis of the phase space, a construction of the bifurcation diagram and a computation of the Lyapunov exponent. The parameter regions of chaotic behavior predicted by the theoretical analysis agree very well with numerical simulations.
Chaotic behaviour in deformable models: the asymmetric doubly periodic oscillators
2002
Abstract The motion of a particle in a one-dimensional perturbed asymmetric doubly periodic (ASDP) potential is investigated analytically and numerically. A simple physical model for calculating analytically the Melnikov function is proposed. The onset of chaos is studied through an analysis of the phase space, a construction of the bifurcation diagram and a computation of the Lyapunov exponent. Theory predicts the regions of chaotic behaviour of orbits in a good agreement with computer calculations.
The $p\lambda n$ fractal decomposition: Nontrivial partitions of conserved physical quantities
2015
A mathematical method for constructing fractal curves and surfaces, termed the $p\lambda n$ fractal decomposition, is presented. It allows any function to be split into a finite set of fractal discontinuous functions whose sum is equal everywhere to the original function. Thus, the method is specially suited for constructing families of fractal objects arising from a conserved physical quantity, the decomposition yielding an exact partition of the quantity in question. Most prominent classes of examples are provided by Hamiltonians and partition functions of statistical ensembles: By using this method, any such function can be decomposed in the ordinary sum of a specified number of terms (g…
A New Look at the Stochastic Linearization Technique for Hyperbolic Tangent Oscillator
1998
Abstract Stochastic linearization technique is reconsidered for oscillator with restoring force in form of hyperbolic tangent. We show that a subtle error was made in the previously known procedure for derivation of the linearized system parameters. Two new error-free procedures, namely, those based on minimization of mean square difference between (a) restoring force or (b) potential energy of the original non-linear system and their linear counterparts, are suggested. The results of numerical analysis are shown.
Accessible parts of boundary for simply connected domains
2018
For a bounded simply connected domain $\Omega\subset\mathbb{R}^2$, any point $z\in\Omega$ and any $0<\alpha<1$, we give a lower bound for the $\alpha$-dimensional Hausdorff content of the set of points in the boundary of $\Omega$ which can be joined to $z$ by a John curve with a suitable John constant depending only on $\alpha$, in terms of the distance of $z$ to $\partial\Omega$. In fact this set in the boundary contains the intersection $\partial\Omega_z\cap\partial\Omega$ of the boundary of a John sub-domain $\Omega_z$ of $\Omega$, centered at $z$, with the boundary of $\Omega$. This may be understood as a quantitative version of a result of Makarov. This estimate is then applied to obta…
