Conditions for the Existence of Solutions of a Periodic Boundary-Value Problem for an Inhomogeneous Linear Hyperbolic Equation of the Second Order. I

We consider the periodic boundary-value problem u _tt − u _xx = g(x, t), u(0, t) = u(π, t) = 0, u(x, t + ω) = u(x, t). By representing a solution of this problem in the form u(x, t) = u ⁰(x, t) + ũ(x, t), where u ⁰(x, t) is a solution of the corresponding homogeneous problem and ũ(x, t) is the exact solution of the inhomogeneous equation such that ũ(x, t + ω) u x = ũ(x, t), we obtain conditions for the solvability of the inhomogeneous periodic boundary-value problem for certain values of the period ω. We show that the relation obtained for a solution includes known results established earlier. __________ Translated from Ukrains'kyi Matematychnyi Zhurnal, Vol. 57, No. 7, pp. 912–921, July, 2005.

On the behavior of solutions of a semilinear parabolic or elliptic equation satisfying a nonlinear boundary condition in a cylindrical domain

One considers a semilinear parabolic equation u _t = Lu − a(x)f(u) or an elliptic equation u _tt + Lu − a(x)f(u) = 0 in a semi-infinite cylinder Ω × ℝ₊ with the nonlinear boundary condition , where L is a uniformly elliptic divergent operator in a bounded domain Ω ∈ ℝⁿ; a(x) and b(x) are nonnegative measurable functions in Ω.

The solvability of a boundary-value periodic problem

In the space of functions B _a³⁺={g(x, t)=−g(−x, t)=g(x+2π, t)=−g(x, t+T₃/2)=g(x, −t)}, we establish that if the condition aT ₃ (2s−1)=4πk, (4πk, a (2s−1))=1, k ∈ ℤ, s ∈ ℕ, is satisfied, then the linear problem u _u −a ² u _xx =g(x, t), u(0, t)=u(π, t)=0, u(x, t+T ₃ )=u(x, t), ℝ², is always consistent.

On cauchy problem of the Benney-Lin equation with low regularity initial data

In this work we prove that the initial value problem of the Benney-Lin equation ut ＋ uxxx ＋ β（uxx ＋ u xxxx） ＋ ηuxxxxx ＋ uux = 0 （x ∈ R, t ≥0 0）, where β 〉 0 and η∈R, is locally well-posed in Sobolev spaces HS（R） for s ≥ -7/5. The method we use to prove this result is the bilinear estimate method initiated by Bourgain.

Correlation structure of intermittency in the parabolic Anderson model

Consider the Cauchy problem ∂u(x, t)/∂t = ℋu(x, t) (x∈ℤ^d, t≥ 0) with initial condition u(x, 0) ≡ 1 and with ℋ the Anderson Hamiltonian ℋ = κΔ + ξ. Here Δ is the discrete Laplacian, κ∈ (0, ∞) is a diffusion constant, and ξ = {ξ(x): x∈ℤ ^d } is an i.i.d.random field taking values in ℝ. G?rtner and Molchanov (1990) have shown that if the law of ξ(0) is nondegenerate, then the solution u is asymptotically intermittent. In the present paper we study the structure of the intermittent peaks for the special case where the law of ξ(0) is (in the vicinity of) the double exponential Prob(ξ(0) > s) = exp[−e ^{s /θ}] (s∈ℝ). Here θ∈ (0, ∞) is a parameter that can be thought of as measuring the degree of disorder in the ξ-field. Our main result is that, for fixed x, y∈ℤ ^d and t→∈, the correlation coefficient of u(x, t) and u(y, t) converges to ∥w _ρ∥⁻² _ℓ2Σ_{z ∈ℤd} w _ρ(x+z)w _ρ(y+z). In this expression, ρ = θ/κ while w _ρ:ℤ^d→ℝ⁺ is given by w _ρ = (v _ρ)^{⊗ d} with v _ρ: ℤ→ℝ⁺ the unique centered ground state (i.e., the solution in ℓ²(ℤ) with minimal l ²-norm) of the 1-dimensional nonlinear equation Δv + 2ρv log v = 0. The uniqueness of the ground state is actually proved only for large ρ, but is conjectured to hold for any ρ∈ (0, ∞). empty It turns out that if the right tail of the law of ξ(0) is thicker (or thinner) than the double exponential, then the correlation coefficient of u(x, t) and u(y, t) converges to δ _{x, y} (resp.the constant function 1). Thus, the double exponential family is the critical class exhibiting a nondegenerate correlation structure. Received: 5 March 1997 / Revised version: 21 September 1998     

Periodic Solutions of Nonautonomous Second Order Hamiltonian Systems

In this paper, we develop the local linking theorem given by Li and Willein by replacing the Palais-Smale condition with a Cerami one, and apply it to the study of the existence of periodic solutions of the nonautonomous second order Hamiltonian systems （H） ü＋A（t）u＋∨V（t, u）=0, u∈R^N, t∈R. We handle the case of superquadratic nonlinearities which differ from those used previously. Our results extend the theorems given by Li and Willem.

We study the problem of existence of periodic and almost periodic solutions of the scalar equation x′ (t) = − δx(t) + pmax _{u∈[t − h, t]} x(u) + f(t) where δ, p ∈ R, with a periodic (almost periodic) perturbation f(t). For these solutions, we establish conditions of global exponential stability and prove uniqueness theorems.

A boundary-value problem for the biharmonic equation and the iterated Laplacian in a 3D-domain with an edge

Let Ω be a domain with piecewise smooth boundary. In general, it is impossible to obtain a generalized solution u ∈ W ₂ ² (Ω) of the equation Δ _x ² u = f with the boundary conditions u = Δ_xu = 0 by solving iteratively a system of two Poisson equations under homogeneous Dirichlet conditions. Such a system is obtained by setting v = −Δu. In the two-dimensional case, this fact is known as the Sapongyan paradox in the theory of simply supported polygonal plates. In the present paper, the three-dimensional problem is investigated for a domain with a smooth edge Γ. If the variable opening angle α ∈ C^∞(Γ) is less than π everywhere on the edge, then the boundary-value problem for the biharmonic equation is equivalent to the iterated Dirichlet problem, and its solution u inherits the positivity preserving property from these problems. In the case α ∈ (π 2π), the procedure of solving the two Dirichlet problems must be modified by permitting infinite-dimensional kernel and co-kernel of the operators and determining the solution u ∈ W ₂ ² (Ω) by inverting a certain integral operator on the contour Γ. If α(s) ∈ (3π/2,2π) for a point s ∈ Γ, then there exists a nonnegative function f ∈ L₂(Ω) for which the solution u changes sign inside the domain Ω. In the case of crack (α = 2π everywhere on Γ), one needs to introduce a special scale of weighted function spaces. In this case, the positivity preserving property fails. In some geometrical situations, the problems on well-posedness for the boundary-value problem for the biharmonic equation and the positivity property remain open.
