Homoclinic Solutions of Nonlinear Laplacian Difference Equations Without Ambrosetti-Rabinowitz Condition
2021
The aim of this paper is to establish the existence of at least two non-zero homoclinic solutions for a nonlinear Laplacian difference equation without using Ambrosetti-Rabinowitz type-conditions. The main tools are mountain pass theorem and Palais-Smale compactness condition involving suitable functionals.
THE MAXWELL–DIRAC EQUATIONS: ASYMPTOTIC COMPLETENESS AND THE INFRARED PROBLEM
1994
In this article we present an announcement of results concerning: a) A solution to the Cauchy problem for the M-D equations, namely global existence, for small initial data at t = 0, of solutions for the M-D equations. b) Arguments from which asymptotic completeness for the M-D equations follows. c) Cohomological interpretation of the results in the spirit of nonlinear representation theory and its connection to the infrared tail of the electron in M-D classical field theory. The full detailed results will be published elsewhere.
Efficiency and Stability of a Family of Iterative Schemes for Solving Nonlinear Equations
2019
In this paper, we construct a family of iterative methods with memory from one without memory, analyzing their convergence and stability. The main aim of this manuscript yields in the advantage that the use of real multidimensional dynamics gives us to decide among the different classes designed and, afterwards, to select its most stable members. Some numerical tests confirm the theoretical results.
Overview of Other Results and Open Problems
2014
This chapter presents an overview of results related to error control methods, which were not considered in previous chapters. In the first part, we discuss possible extensions of the theory exposed in Chaps. 3 and 4 to nonconforming approximations and certain classes of nonlinear problems. Also, we shortly discuss some results related to explicit evaluation of modeling errors. The remaining part of the chapter is devoted to a posteriori estimates of errors in iteration methods. Certainly, the overview is not complete. A posteriori error estimation methods are far from having been fully explored and this subject contains many unsolved problems and open questions, some of which we formulate …
Path Integral Methods for the Probabilistic Analysis of Nonlinear Systems Under a White-Noise Process
2020
Abstract In this paper, the widely known path integral method, derived from the application of the Chapman–Kolmogorov equation, is described in details and discussed with reference to the main results available in literature in several decades of contributions. The most simple application of the method is related to the solution of Fokker–Planck type equations. In this paper, the solution in the presence of normal, α-stable, and Poissonian white noises is first discussed. Then, application to barrier problems, such as first passage problems and vibroimpact problems is described. Further, the extension of the path integral method to problems involving multi-degrees-of-freedom systems is anal…
Testing and extrapolating the nonlinear robustness of modulation formats
2005
The comparison of the robustness of modulation formats in fiber transmission systems facing nonlinear impairments and noise is carried out experimentally using a test link. Special techniques may be necessary when extrapolating by numerical simulations.
Effect of a columnar defect on the shape of slow-combustion fronts
2003
We report experimental results for the behavior of slow-combustion fronts in the presence of a columnar defect with excess or reduced driving, and compare them with those of mean-field theory. We also compare them with simulation results for an analogous problem of driven flow of particles with hard-core repulsion (ASEP) and a single defect bond with a different hopping probability. The difference in the shape of the front profiles for excess vs. reduced driving in the defect, clearly demonstrates the existence of a KPZ-type of nonlinear term in the effective evolution equation for the slow-combustion fronts. We also find that slow-combustion fronts display a faceted form for large enough e…
Normal Coulomb Frames in $${\mathbb{R}}^{4}$$
2012
Now we consider two-dimensional surfaces immersed in Euclidean spaces \({\mathbb{R}}^{n+2}\) of arbitrary dimension. The construction of normal Coulomb frames turns out to be more intricate and requires a profound analysis of nonlinear elliptic systems in two variables. The Euler–Lagrange equations of the functional of total torsion are identified as non-linear elliptic systems with quadratic growth in the gradient, and, more exactly, the nonlinearity in the gradient is of so-called curl-type, while the Euler–Lagrange equations appear in a div-curl-form. We discuss the interplay between curvatures of the normal bundles and torsion properties of normal Coulomb frames. It turns out that such …
Entropy dissipation of moving mesh adaptation
2014
Non-uniform grids and mesh adaptation have become an important part of numerical approximations of differential equations over the past decades. It has been experimentally noted that mesh adaptation leads not only to locally improved solution but also to numerical stability of the underlying method. In this paper we consider nonlinear conservation laws and provide a method to perform the analysis of the moving mesh adaptation method, including both the mesh reconstruction and evolution of the solution. We moreover employ this method to extract sufficient conditions — on the adaptation of the mesh — that stabilize a numerical scheme in the sense of the entropy dissipation.
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…
