Local behaviour of singular solutions for nonlinear elliptic equations in divergence form
2012
We consider the following class of nonlinear elliptic equations $$\begin{array}{ll}{-}{\rm div}(\mathcal{A}(|x|)\nabla u) +u^q=0\quad {\rm in}\; B_1(0)\setminus\{0\}, \end{array}$$ where q > 1 and $${\mathcal{A}}$$ is a positive C 1(0,1] function which is regularly varying at zero with index $${\vartheta}$$ in (2−N,2). We prove that all isolated singularities at zero for the positive solutions are removable if and only if $${\Phi\not\in L^q(B_1(0))}$$ , where $${\Phi}$$ denotes the fundamental solution of $${-{\rm div}(\mathcal{A}(|x|)\nabla u)=\delta_0}$$ in $${\mathcal D'(B_1(0))}$$ and δ0 is the Dirac mass at 0. Moreover, we give a complete classification of the behaviour near zero of al…
A geometrical criterion for nonexistence of constant-sign solutions for some third-order two-point boundary value problems
2020
We give a simple geometrical criterion for the nonexistence of constant-sign solutions for a certain type of third-order two-point boundary value problem in terms of the behavior of nonlinearity in the equation. We also provide examples to illustrate the applicability of our results.
Non-linear oscillators under parametric and external poisson pulses
1994
The extended Ito calculus for non-normal excitations is applied in order to study the response behaviour of some non-linear oscillators subjected to Poisson pulses. The results obtained show that the non-normality of the input can strongly affect the response, so that, in general, it can not be neglected.
Identification of stiffness,dissipation and input parameters of randomly excited non-linear systems: Capability of restricted potential models (RPM)
2006
Abstract A dynamic identification technique in the time domain for time invariant systems under random external forces is presented. This technique is based on the use of the class of restricted potential models (RPM), which are characterized by a non-linear stiffness and a special form of damping, that is a product of the input power spectral density (PSD) matrix and the velocity gradient of a non-linear function of the total mechanical energy. By applying It o ^ stochastic differential calculus and by specific analytical manipulations, some algebraic equations, depending on the response statistics and on the mechanic parameters that characterize RPM, are obtained. These equations can be u…
One-dimensional families of projections
2008
Let m and n be integers with 0 < m < n. We consider the question of how much the Hausdorff dimension of a measure may decrease under typical orthogonal projections from onto m-planes provided that the dimension of the parameter space is one. We verify the best possible lower bound for the dimension drop and illustrate the sharpness of our results by examples. The question stems naturally from the study of measures which are invariant under the geodesic flow.
Comparison of discretization strategies for the model-free information-theoretic assessment of short-term physiological interactions
2023
This work presents a comparison between different approaches for the model-free estimation of information-theoretic measures of the dynamic coupling between short realizations of random processes. The measures considered are the mutual information rate (MIR) between two random processes [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] and the terms of its decomposition evidencing either the individual entropy rates of [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] and their joint entropy rate, or the transfer entropies from [Formula: see text] to [Formula: see text] and from [Formula: see text] to [Formula: see text] and the instantaneous information shared by [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see…
Influence of Active Device Nonlinearities on the Determination of Adler's Injection.Locking Q-Factor
2011
The problem of the correct evaluation of Q-factor appearing in Adler's equation for injection-locking is addressed. Investigation has shown that recent results presented in the literature, while extending applicability of the original method, do not completely account for nonlinear effects occurring when two-port active devices are involved. To overcome such limitation, use can be made of a newly developed theory in the dynamical complex envelope domain, capable of providing first-approximation exact dynamical models of driven quasi-sinusoidal oscillators. Some preliminary results are presented here concerning a class of injection-locked oscillators with single-loop feedback type configurat…
Convergence of KAM iterations for counterterm problems
1998
Abstract We analyse two iterative KAM methods for counterterm problems for finite-dimensional matrices. The starting point for these methods is the KAM iteration for Hamiltonians linear in the action variable in classical mechanics. We compare their convergence properties when a perturbation parameter is varied. The first method has no fixed points beyond a critical value of the perturbation parameter. The second one has fixed points for arbitrarily large perturbations. We observe different domains of attraction separated by Julia sets.
Cardinal invariants of cellular Lindelof spaces
2018
A space X is said to be cellular-Lindelof if for every cellular family $$\mathcal {U}$$ there is a Lindelof subspace L of X which meets every element of $$\mathcal {U}$$ . Cellular-Lindelof spaces generalize both Lindelof spaces and spaces with the countable chain condition. Solving questions of Xuan and Song, we prove that every cellular-Lindelof monotonically normal space is Lindelof and that every cellular-Lindelof space with a regular $$G_\delta $$ -diagonal has cardinality at most $$2^\mathfrak {c}$$ . We also prove that every normal cellular-Lindelof first-countable space has cardinality at most continuum under $$2^{<\mathfrak {c}}=\mathfrak {c}$$ and that every normal cellular-Lindel…
(Bounded) Traveling combustion fronts with degenerate kinetics
2022
Abstract We consider the propagation of a flame front in a solid periodic medium. It is governed by an equation of Hamilton–Jacobi type, whose front’s velocity depends on the temperature via a nonlinear degenerate kinetic rate. The temperature solves a free boundary problem subject to boundary conditions depending on the front’s velocity itself. We show the existence of nonplanar traveling wave solutions which are bounded and global. Previous results by the same authors (cf. Alibaud and Namah, 2017) were obtained for essentially positively lower bounded kinetics or eventually which have some very weak degeneracy. Here we consider very general degenerate kinetics, including for the first tim…
