TANGENTIAL DEFORMATIONS ON FIBRED POISSON MANIFOLDS
2005
In a recent article, Cattaneo, Felder and Tomassini explained how the notion of formality can be used to construct flat Fedosov connections on formal vector bundles on a Poisson manifold $M$ and thus a star product on $M$ through the original Fedosov method for symplectic manifolds. In this paper, we suppose that $M$ is a fibre bundle manifold equipped with a Poisson tensor tangential to the fibers. We show that in this case the construction of Cattaneo-Felder- Tomassini gives tangential (to the fibers) star products.
Existence of doubling measures via generalised nested cubes
2012
Working on doubling metric spaces, we construct generalised dyadic cubes adapting ultrametric structure. If the space is complete, then the existence of such cubes and the mass distribution principle lead into a simple proof for the existence of doubling measures. As an application, we show that for each $\epsilon>0$ there is a doubling measure having full measure on a set of packing dimension at most $\epsilon$.
On a new proof of Moser's twist mapping theorem
1976
Based on a new idea of the author, a new proof of J. Moser's twist mapping theorem is presented.
Solving coupled Riccati matrix differential systems
1991
Abstract We start by noting that coupled Riccati matrix differential systems appearing in differential games may be considered as a single rectangular Riccati equation. An explicit solution of the coupled differential system in terms of a solution of the associated algebraic Riccati equation is given.
On electric and magnetic problems for vector fields in anisotropic nonhomogeneous media
1983
r= 3~2, initiated by Saranen [ 131. In the above, n is the outward-drawn unit normal to the boundary and A denotes the exterior product. According to the simple models for static magnetic fields (resp. electric fields) which are governed by (0.1) (resp. (0.2)), we call (0.1) the magnetic type problem and (0.2) the electric type problem. Considering bounded smooth domains a c R3, we discussed in [ 131, by means of an appropriate Hilbert space method, the solvability and the representation of the solutions for both problems (0.1) and (0.2). Such a new approach was necessary to cover the general nonhomogeneous cases where v and E are matrix-valued functions. Here our aim is twofold. First, we …
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.
Stochastic linearization of MDOF systems under parametric excitations
1992
Abstract The stochastic linearization approach is examined for non-linear systems subjected to parametric type excitations. It is shown that, for these systems too, stochastic linearization and Gaussian closure are two equivalent approaches if the former is applied to the coefficients of the Ito differential rule. A critical review of other stochastic linearization approaches is also presented and discussed by means of simple examples.
Numerical Algorithms Based on Characteristic Domain Decomposition for Obstacle Problems
1997
A new numerical solution algorithm for obstacle problems is proposed, where the characteristic domain decomposition into active and inactive subdomains separated by the free boundary is approximated by a Schwarz method. Such an approach gives an opportunity to apply fast linear system solvers to genuinely non-linear obstacle problems. Other solution algorithms, like projected relaxation methods and active set strategies, are compared to the new solution algorithm. Numerical experiments related to the elastoplastic torsion problem are included showing the efficiency of the new approach.
Computation of a few smallest eigenvalues of elliptic operators using fast elliptic solvers
2001
The computation of a few smallest eigenvalues of generalized algebraic eigenvalue problems is studied. The considered problems are obtained by discretizing self-adjoint second-order elliptic partial differential eigenvalue problems in two- or three-dimensional domains. The standard Lanczos algorithm with the complete orthogonalization is used to compute some eigenvalues of the inverted eigenvalue problem. Under suitable assumptions, the number of Lanczos iterations is shown to be independent of the problem size. The arising linear problems are solved using some standard fast elliptic solver. Numerical experiments demonstrate that the inverted problem is much easier to solve with the Lanczos…
