A NEW SYMMETRIC AND POSITIVE DEFINITE BOUNDARY ELEMENT FORMULATION FOR LATERAL VIBRATIONS OF PLATES
1997
Abstract A new symmetric and positive definite boundary element method in the time domain is presented for the dynamic analysis of thin elastic plates. The governing equations of the problem are obtained from a variational principle in which a hybrid modified functional is employed. The functional is expressed in terms of the domain and boundary basic variables in plate bending, assumed to be independent of each other. In the discretized model the boundary variables are expressed by nodal values, whereas the internal displacement field is modelled by a superposition of static fundamental solutions. The equations of motion are deduced from the functional stationarity conditions and they cons…
Bifurcations of Links of Periodic Orbits in Non-Singular Systems with Two Rotational Symmetries on S3
1997
A topological characterization of all possible links composed of the periodic orbits of a Non Singular Morse-Smale flow on S3 has been made by M. Wada. The presence of symmetry forces the appearance of given types of links. In this paper we introduce a geometrical tool to represent these type of links when a symmetry around two axes is considered on NMS systems: mosaics. On the other hand, we use mosaics to study what kind of bifurcation can occur in this type of system maintaining the symmetry.
Regularity of the solution to a class of weakly singular fredholm integral equations of the second kind
1979
Continuity and differentiability properties of the solution to a class of Fredholm integral equations of the second kind with weakly singular kernel are derived. The equations studied in this paper arise from e.g. potential problems or problems of radiative equilibrium. Under reasonable assumptions it is proved that the solution possesses continuous derivatives in the interior of the interval of integration but may have mild singularities at the end-points.
Complex powers of elliptic pseudodifferential operators
1986
The aim of this paper is the construction of complex powers of elliptic pseudodifferential operators and the study of the analytic properties of the corresponding kernels kS (x,y). For x=y, the case of principal interest, the domain of holomorphy and the singularities of kS (x,x) are shown to depend on the asymptotic expansion of the symbol. For classical symbols, kS (x,x) is known to be meromorphic on ℂ with simple poles in a set of equidistant points on the real axis. In the more general cases considered here, the singularities may be distributed over a half plane and kS (x,x) can not always be extended to337-2. An example is given where kS (x,x) has a vertical line as natural boundary.
Pseudodifferential Analysis on Manifolds with Boundary — a Comparison of b-Calculus and Cone Algebra
2001
We establish a relation between two different approaches to a complete pseudodifferential analysis of totally characteristic or Fuchs type operators on compact manifolds with boundary respectively conical singularities: Melrose’s (overblown) b-calculus and Schulze’s cone algebra. Though quite different in their definition, we show that these two pseudodifferential calculi basically contain the same operators.
Singular integrals and rectifiability
2002
We shall discuss singular integrals on lower dimensional subsets of Rn. A survey of this topic was given in [M4]. The first part of this paper gives a quick review of some results discussed in [M4] and a survey of some newer results and open problems. In the second part we prove some results on the Riesz kernels in Rn. As far as I know, they have not been explicitly stated and proved, but they are very closely related to some earlier results and methods.

Orthogonal functions analysis of singular systems with impulsive responses
1990
Presents a systematic study using piecewise-constant orthogonal functions for the analysis of impulsive responses of singular systems. Walsh and block-pulse functions solutions are examined.
Symmetric Surfaces with Many Singularities
2004
Abstract Let G ⊂ SO(4) denote a finite subgroup containing the Heisenberg group. In this paper we classify all such groups, we find the dimension of the spaces of G-invariant polynomials and we give equations for the generators whenever the space has dimension two. Then we complete the study of the corresponding G-invariant pencils of surfaces in ℙ3 which we started in Sarti [Sarti, A. (2000). Pencils of symmetric surfaces in ℙ3(C). J. Algebra 246:429–452]. It turns out that we have five more pencils, two of them containing surfaces with nodes.
The polyhedral Hodge number $h^{2,1}$ and vanishing of obstructions
2000
We prove a vanishing theorem for the Hodge number $h^{2,1}$ of projective toric varieties provided by a certain class of polytopes. We explain how this Hodge number also gives information about the deformation theory of the toric Gorenstein singularity derived from the same polytope. In particular, the vanishing theorem for $h^{2,1}$ implies that these deformations are unobstructed.
Vector Bundles and Torsion Free Sheaves on Degenerations of Elliptic Curves
2006
In this paper we give a survey about the classification of vector bundles and torsion free sheaves on degenerations of elliptic curves. Coherent sheaves on singular curves of arithmetic genus one can be studied using the technique of matrix problems or via Fourier-Mukai transforms, both methods are discussed here. Moreover, we include new proofs of some classical results about vector bundles on elliptic curves.
