OBSTACLE PROBLEMS FOR DEGENERATE ELLIPTIC EQUATIONS WITH NONHOMOGENEOUS NONLINEAR BOUNDARY CONDITIONS
2008
In this paper we study the questions of existence and uniqueness of solutions for equations of type - div a(x,Du) + γ(u) ∋ ϕ, posed in an open bounded subset Ω of ℝN, with nonlinear boundary conditions of the form a(x,Du) · η + β(u) ∋ ψ. The nonlinear elliptic operator div a(x,Du) modeled on the p-Laplacian operator Δp(u) = div (|Du|p-2Du), with p > 1, γ and β maximal monotone graphs in ℝ2 such that 0 ∈ γ(0) ∩ β(0), [Formula: see text] and the data ϕ ∈ L1(Ω) and ψ ∈ L1(∂ Ω). Since D(γ) ≠ ℝ, we are dealing with obstacle problems. For this kind of problems the existence of weak solution, in the usual sense, fails to be true for nonhomogeneous boundary conditions, so a new concept of solut…
Remark on integrable Hamiltonian systems
1980
An extension ton degrees of freedom of the fact is established that forn=1 the time and the energy constant are canonically conjugate variables. This extension is useful in some cases to get action-angle variables from the general solution of a given integrable Hamiltonian system. As an example the Delaunay variables are proved to be canonical.
Qualitative analysis of matrix splitting methods
2001
Abstract Qualitative properties of matrix splitting methods for linear systems with tridiagonal and block tridiagonal Stieltjes-Toeplitz matrices are studied. Two particular splittings, the so-called symmetric tridiagonal splittings and the bidiagonal splittings, are considered, and conditions for qualitative properties like nonnegativity and shape preservation are shown for them. Special attention is paid to their close relation to the well-known splitting techniques like regular and weak regular splitting methods. Extensions to block tridiagonal matrices are given, and their relation to algebraic representations of domain decomposition methods is discussed. The paper is concluded with ill…
An isoperimetric type problem for primitive Pythagorean hodograph curves
2012
An isoperimetric type problem for primitive Pythagorean hodograph curves is studied. We show how to compute, for each possible degree, the Pythagorean hodograph curve of a given perimeter enclosing the greatest area. We also discuss the existence and construction of smooth solutions, obtaining a relationship with an interesting sequence of Appell polynomials.
Some algebraic clues towards a syntactic view on the Principles of Non-Contradiction and Excluded-Middle.
2014
This short paper just considers the possibility of a new view for posing and proving the Aristotle’s Principles of Non-Contradiction and Excluded-Middle. It is done by means of their refutability, or deducibility, respectively, under Tarski’s Consequence Operators.
Superstable cycles for antiferromagnetic Q-state Potts and three-site interaction Ising models on recursive lattices
2013
We consider the superstable cycles of the Q-state Potts (QSP) and the three-site interaction antiferromagnetic Ising (TSAI) models on recursive lattices. The rational mappings describing the models' statistical properties are obtained via the recurrence relation technique. We provide analytical solutions for the superstable cycles of the second order for both models. A particular attention is devoted to the period three window. Here we present an exact result for the third order superstable orbit for the QSP and a numerical solution for the TSAI model. Additionally, we point out a non-trivial connection between bifurcations and superstability: in some regions of parameters a superstable cyc…
An annihilator-based strategy for the automatic detection of exponential polynomial spaces in subdivision
2021
Abstract Exponential polynomials are essential in subdivision for the reconstruction of specific families of curves and surfaces, such as conic sections and quadric surfaces. It is well known that if a linear subdivision scheme is able to reproduce a certain space of exponential polynomials, then it must be level-dependent, with rules depending on the frequencies (and eventual multiplicities) defining the considered space. This work discusses a general strategy that exploits annihilating operators to locally detect those frequencies directly from the given data and therefore to choose the correct subdivision rule to be applied. This is intended as a first step towards the construction of se…
Green’s function and existence of solutions for a third-order three-point boundary value problem
2019
The solutions of third-order three-point boundary value problem x‘‘‘ + f(t, x) = 0, t ∈ [a, b], x(a) = x‘(a) = 0, x(b) = kx(η), where η ∈ (a, b), k ∈ R, f ∈ C([a, b] × R, R) and f(t, 0) ≠ 0, are the subject of this investigation. In order to establish existence and uniqueness results for the solutions, attention is focused on applications of the corresponding Green’s function. As an application, also one example is given to illustrate the result. Keywords: Green’s function, nonlinear boundary value problems, three-point boundary conditions, existence and uniqueness of solutions.

On the Intrinsically Low Quantum Yields of Pyrimidine DNA Photodamages: Evaluating the Reactivity of the Corresponding Minimum Energy Crossing Points
2020
The low quantum yield of photoformation of cyclobutane pyrimidine dimers and pyrimidine-pyrimidone (6-4) adducts in DNA bases is usually associated with the presence of more favorable nonreactive decay paths and with the unlikeliness of exciting the system in a favorable conformation. Here, we prove that the ability of the reactive conical intersection to bring the system either back to the absorbing conformation or to the photoproduct must be considered as a fundamental factor in the low quantum yields of the mentioned photodamage. In support of the proposed model, the one order of magnitude difference in the quantum yield of formation of the cyclobutane thymine dimer with respect to the t…
