Entire Solutions for Bistable Lattice Differential Equations with Obstacles


Book Description

"We consider scalar lattice differential equations posed on square lattices in two space dimensions. Under certain natural conditions we show that wave-like solutions exist when obstacles (characterized by "holes") are present in the lattice. Our work generalizes to the discrete spatial setting the results obtained in Berestycki, Hamel, and Matuno (2009) for the propagation of waves around obstacles in continuous spatial domains. The analysis hinges upon the development of sub and super-solutions for a class of discrete bistable reaction-diffusion problems and on a generalization of a classical result due to Aronson and Weinberger that concerns the spreading of localized disturbances."--Page v.

Functional Differential Equations and Applications


Book Description

This book discusses delay and integro-differential equations from the point of view of the theory of functional differential equations. This book is a collection of selected papers presented at the international conference of Functional Differential Equations and Applications (FDEA-2019), 7th in the series, held at Ariel University, Israel, from August 22–27, 2019. Topics covered in the book include classical properties of functional differential equations as oscillation/non-oscillation, representation of solutions, sign properties of Green's matrices, comparison of solutions, stability, control, analysis of boundary value problems, and applications. The primary audience for this book includes specialists on ordinary, partial and functional differential equations, engineers and doctors dealing with modeling, and researchers in areas of mathematics and engineering.




Difference Equations and Discrete Dynamical Systems with Applications


Book Description

This book presents the proceedings of the 24th International Conference on Difference Equations and Applications, which was held at the Technical University in Dresden, Germany, in May 2018, under the auspices of the International Society of Difference Equations (ISDE). The conference brought together leading researchers working in the respective fields to discuss the latest developments, and to promote international cooperation on the theory and applications of difference equations. This book appeals to researchers and scientists working in the fields of difference equations and discrete dynamical systems and their applications.




Perspectives in Dynamical Systems III: Control and Stability


Book Description

This volume is part of collection of contributions devoted to analytical and experimental techniques of dynamical systems, presented at the 15th International Conference “Dynamical Systems: Theory and Applications”, held in Łódź, Poland on December 2-5, 2019. The wide selection of material has been divided into three volumes, each focusing on a different field of applications of dynamical systems. The broadly outlined focus of both the conference and these books includes bifurcations and chaos in dynamical systems, asymptotic methods in nonlinear dynamics, dynamics in life sciences and bioengineering, original numerical methods of vibration analysis, control in dynamical systems, optimization problems in applied sciences, stability of dynamical systems, experimental and industrial studies, vibrations of lumped and continuous systems, non-smooth systems, engineering systems and differential equations, mathematical approaches to dynamical systems, and mechatronics.




Type II Blow Up Manifolds for the Energy Supercritical Semilinear Wave Equation


Book Description

Our analysis adapts the robust energy method developed for the study of energy critical bubbles by Merle-Rapha¨el-Rodnianski, Rapha¨el-Rodnianski and Rapha¨el- Schweyer, the study of this issue for the supercritical semilinear heat equation done by Herrero-Vel´azquez, Matano-Merle and Mizoguchi, and the analogous result for the energy supercritical Schr¨odinger equation by Merle-Rapha¨el-Rodnianski.




Mathematical Study of Degenerate Boundary Layers: A Large Scale Ocean Circulation Problem


Book Description

This paper is concerned with a complete asymptotic analysis as $E \to 0$ of the Munk equation $\partial _x\psi -E \Delta ^2 \psi = \tau $ in a domain $\Omega \subset \mathbf R^2$, supplemented with boundary conditions for $\psi $ and $\partial _n \psi $. This equation is a simple model for the circulation of currents in closed basins, the variables $x$ and $y$ being respectively the longitude and the latitude. A crude analysis shows that as $E \to 0$, the weak limit of $\psi $ satisfies the so-called Sverdrup transport equation inside the domain, namely $\partial _x \psi ^0=\tau $, while boundary layers appear in the vicinity of the boundary.




On Non-Generic Finite Subgroups of Exceptional Algebraic Groups


Book Description

The study of finite subgroups of a simple algebraic group $G$ reduces in a sense to those which are almost simple. If an almost simple subgroup of $G$ has a socle which is not isomorphic to a group of Lie type in the underlying characteristic of $G$, then the subgroup is called non-generic. This paper considers non-generic subgroups of simple algebraic groups of exceptional type in arbitrary characteristic.




Szego Kernel Asymptotics for High Power of CR Line Bundles and Kodaira Embedding Theorems on CR Manifolds


Book Description

Let X be an abstract not necessarily compact orientable CR manifold of dimension 2n−1, n⩾2, and let Lk be the k-th tensor power of a CR complex line bundle L over X. Given q∈{0,1,…,n−1}, let □(q)b,k be the Gaffney extension of Kohn Laplacian for (0,q) forms with values in Lk. For λ≥0, let Π(q)k,≤λ:=E((−∞,λ]), where E denotes the spectral measure of □(q)b,k. In this work, the author proves that Π(q)k,≤k−N0F∗k, FkΠ(q)k,≤k−N0F∗k, N0≥1, admit asymptotic expansions with respect to k on the non-degenerate part of the characteristic manifold of □(q)b,k, where Fk is some kind of microlocal cut-off function. Moreover, we show that FkΠ(q)k,≤0F∗k admits a full asymptotic expansion with respect to k if □(q)b,k has small spectral gap property with respect to Fk and Π(q)k,≤0 is k-negligible away the diagonal with respect to Fk. By using these asymptotics, the authors establish almost Kodaira embedding theorems on CR manifolds and Kodaira embedding theorems on CR manifolds with transversal CR S1 action.
