On the Kneser property for reaction–diffusion systems on unbounded domains
2009
Abstract We prove the Kneser property (i.e. the connectedness and compactness of the attainability set at any time) for reaction–diffusion systems on unbounded domains in which we do not know whether the property of uniqueness of the Cauchy problem holds or not. Using this property we obtain that the global attractor of such systems is connected. Finally, these results are applied to the complex Ginzburg–Landau equation.
Invariant rotational curves in Sitnikov's Problem
1993
The Sitnikov's Problem is a Restricted Three-Body Problem of Celestial Mechanics depending on a parameter, the eccentricity,e. The Hamiltonian,H(z, v, t, e), does not depend ont ife=0 and we have an integrable system; ife is small the KAM Theory proves the existence of invariant rotational curves, IRC. For larger eccentricities, we show that there exist two complementary sequences of intervals of values ofe that accumulate to the maximum admissible value of the eccentricity, 1, and such that, for one of the sequences IRC around a fixed point persist. Moreover, they shrink to the planez=0 ase tends to 1.
Kramers–Kronig transformation, dc behaviour and steady state response of the Warburg impedance for a disk electrode inlaid in an insulating surface
2002
Abstract As the frequency approaches zero, the impedance described by the Warburg function tends to infinity. This means that the resistance of the equivalent circuit representing the electrochemical process has an infinite resistor and then the current cannot flow through it. This asymptotic behaviour also prevents the application of the Kramers–Kronig transformations, a set of integrals which should be fulfilled by any linear system. Using a more general expression of the impedance for a disk electrode inlaid in an insulating surface developed by Fleischmann and Pons (J. Electroanal. Chem. 250 (1988) 277), the Warburg impedance can be deduced and the Kramers–Kronig transformation is possi…
Direct Derivation of Corrective Terms in SDE Through Nonlinear Transformation on Fokker–Planck Equation
2004
This paper examines the problem of probabilistic characterization of nonlinear systems driven by normal and Poissonian white noise. By means of classical nonlinear transformation the stochastic differential equation driven by external input is transformed into a parametric-type stochastic differential equation. Such equations are commonly handled with Ito-type stochastic differential equations and Ito's rule is used to find the response statistics. Here a different approach is proposed, which mainly consists in transforming the Fokker–Planck equation for the original system driven by external input, in the transformed probability density function of the new state variable. It will be shown …
On the K-stability of complete intersections in polarized manifolds
2011
We consider the problem of existence of constant scalar curvature Kaehler metrics on complete intersections of sections of vector bundles. In particular we give general formulas relating the Futaki invariant of such a manifold to the weight of sections defining it and to the Futaki invariant of the ambient manifold. As applications we give a new Mukai-Umemura-Tian like example of Fano 5-fold admitting no Kaehler-Einstein metric and a strong evidence of K-stability of complete intersections on Grassmannians.
Resolution of singularities for multi-loop integrals
2007
We report on a program for the numerical evaluation of divergent multi-loop integrals. The program is based on iterated sector decomposition. We improve the original algorithm of Binoth and Heinrich such that the program is guaranteed to terminate. The program can be used to compute numerically the Laurent expansion of divergent multi-loop integrals regulated by dimensional regularisation. The symbolic and the numerical steps of the algorithm are combined into one program.
Nodal Solutions for Supercritical Laplace Equations
2015
In this paper we study radial solutions for the following equation $$\Delta u(x)+f (u(x), |x|) = 0,$$ where $${x \in {\mathbb{R}^{n}}}$$ , n > 2, f is subcritical for r small and u large and supercritical for r large and u small, with respect to the Sobolev critical exponent $${2^{*} = \frac{2n}{n-2}}$$ . The solutions are classified and characterized by their asymptotic behaviour and nodal properties. In an appropriate super-linear setting, we give an asymptotic condition sufficient to guarantee the existence of at least one ground state with fast decay with exactly j zeroes for any j ≥ 0. Under the same assumptions, we also find uncountably many ground states with slow decay, singular gro…
An overdetermined problem for the anisotropic capacity
2015
We consider an overdetermined problem for the Finsler Laplacian in the exterior of a convex domain in \({\mathbb {R}}^{N}\), establishing a symmetry result for the anisotropic capacitary potential. Our result extends the one of Reichel (Arch Ration Mech Anal 137(4):381–394, 1997), where the usual Newtonian capacity is considered, giving rise to an overdetermined problem for the standard Laplace equation. Here, we replace the usual Euclidean norm of the gradient with an arbitrary norm H. The resulting symmetry of the solution is that of the so-called Wulff shape (a ball in the dual norm \(H_0\)).
A new proof for the equivalence of weak and viscosity solutions for the p-Laplace equation
2011
In this paper, we give a new proof for the fact that the distributional weak solutions and the viscosity solutions of the $p$-Laplace equation $-\diver(\abs{Du}^{p-2}Du)=0$ coincide. Our proof is more direct and transparent than the original one by Juutinen, Lindqvist and Manfredi \cite{jlm}, which relied on the full uniqueness machinery of the theory of viscosity solutions. We establish a similar result also for the solutions of the non-homogeneous version of the $p$-Laplace equation.
A novel boundary element formulation for anisotropic fracture mechanics
2019
Abstract A novel boundary element formulation for two-dimensional fracture mechanics is presented in this work. The formulation is based on the derivation of a supplementary boundary integral equation to be used in combination with the classic displacement boundary integral equation to solve anisotropic fracture mechanics problems via a single-region approach. The formulation is built starting from the observation that the displacement field for an anisotropic domain can be represented as the superposition of a vector field, whose components satisfy a suitably defined anisotropic Laplace equation, and the gradient of the Airy stress function. The supplementary boundary integral equation is …
