Steady states and nonlinear buckling of cable-suspended beam systems
2018
This paper deals with the equilibria of an elastically-coupled cable-suspended beam system, where the beam is assumed to be extensible and subject to a compressive axial load. When no vertical load is applied, necessary and sufficient conditions in order to have nontrivial solutions are established, and their explicit closed-form expressions are found. In particular, the stationary solutions are shown to exhibit at most two non-vanishing Fourier modes and the critical values of the axial-load parameter which produce their pitchfork bifurcation (buckling) are established. Depending on two dimensionless parameters, the complete set of resonant modes is devised. As expected, breakdown of the p…
On the stability of bifurcation branches in thermal ignition
1984
A method is given to determine the stability of stationary solutions of the thermal ignition equation for the case ofn-dimensional spherical symmetry, together with the number of unstable modes. For sufficiently high temperature and activation temperature this number is arbitrarily large. Some numerical results on the solutions and their stability are reported.
ANALYTICAL DETERMINATION OF INITIAL CONDITIONS LEADING TO FIRING IN NERVE FIBERS
2007
International audience; An analytical solution characterizing initial conditions leading to action potential firing in smooth nerve fibers is determined, using the bistable equation. In the first place, we present a nontrivial stationary solution wave, then, using the perturbative method, we analyze the stability of this stationary wave. We show that it corresponds to a frontier between the initiation of the travelling waves and a decay to the resting state. Eventually, this analytical approach is extended to FitzHugh-Nagumo model.
Decay estimates in the supremum norm for the solutions to a nonlinear evolution equation
2014
We study the asymptotic behaviour, as t → ∞, of the solutions to the nonlinear evolution equationwhere ΔpNu = Δu + (p−2) (D2u(Du/∣Du∣)) · (Du/∣Du∣) is the normalized p-Laplace equation and p ≥ 2. We show that if u(x,t) is a viscosity solution to the above equation in a cylinder Ω × (0, ∞) with time-independent lateral boundary values, then it converges to the unique stationary solution h as t → ∞. Moreover, we provide an estimate for the decay rate of maxx∈Ω∣u(x,t) − h(x)∣.
Steady‐state solutions of the aerotaxis problem
2022
We study the steady-state system of aerotaxis equations in higher dimensions.It is shown that the existence and multiplicity of solutions depend on the totalmass of the colony of bacteria, the energy function, and the boundary conditions.
