Boundary Behavior of Large Solutions to the Monge-Ampère Equation in a Borderline Case

This paper is concerned with the boundary behavior of strictly convex large solutions to the Monge-Ampère equation detD²u(x)=b(x)f(u(x)), u > 0, x ∈ Ω, where Ω is a strictly convex and bounded smooth domain in R^N with N ≥ 2, f is normalized regularly varying at infinity with the critical index N and has a lower term, and b ∈ C^∞(Ω) is positive in Ω, but may be appropriate singular on the boundary.     

A stability property of the stochastic heat equation

In this paper we consider continuity properties of a stochastic heat equation of the form ∂u(t,x)/∂t = ∂²u(t,x)/∂x² + f(u(t,x))W_x,t. We prove that the solutions of this equation depend continuously on the function f and give some new estimates for this connection.     

The space localization of unbounded boundary perturbations in nonlinear heat conduction with transfer

We consider the nonlinear parabolic equation u_t = (k(u)u_x)_x + b(u)_x, where u = u(x, t, x ε R¹, t > 0; k(u) ≥ 0, b(u) ≥ 0 are continuous functions as u ≥ 0, b (0) = 0; k, b > 0 as u > 0. At t = 0 nonnegative, continuous and bounded initial value is prescribed. The boundary condition u(0, t) = Ψ(t) is supposed to be unbounded as t → +∞. In this paper, sufficient conditions for space localization of unbounded boundary perturbations are found. For instance, we show that nonlinear equation u_t = (uⁿu_x)_x + (u^β)_x, n ≥ 0, β >; n + 1, exhibits the phenomenon of “inner boundedness,” for arbitrary unbounded boundary perturbations.     

Phase Retrieval of Real-valued Functions in Sobolev Space

The Sobolev space H^s(R^d) with s > d/2 contains many important functions such as the bandlimited or rational ones. In this paper we propose a sequence of measurement functions {ϕ_j,k^γ} ⊆ H^-s(R^d) to the phase retrieval problem for the real-valued functions in H^s(R^d). We prove that any real-valued function f ∈ H^s(R^d) can be determined, up to a global sign, by the phaseless measurements {|<f, ϕ_j,k^γ>|}. It is known that phase retrieval is unstable in infinite dimensional spaces with respect to perturbations of the measurement functions. We examine a special type of perturbations that ensures the stability for the phase-retrieval problem for all the real-valued functions in H^s(R^d) ∩ C¹(R^d), and prove that our iterated reconstruction procedure guarantees uniform convergence for any function f ∈ H^s(R^d) ∩ C¹(R^d) whose Fourier transform f is L¹-integrable. Moreover, numerical simulations are conducted to test the efficiency of the reconstruction algorithm.     

L2-approximation of real-valued functions with interpolatory constraints

We construct the polynomial p_m,n^* of degree m which interpolates a given real-valued function f L²[a, b] at pre-assigned n distinct nodes and is the best approximant to f in the L₂-sense over all polynomials of degree m with the same interpolatory character. It is shown that the L₂-error p_m,n^* − f → 0 as m → ∞ if f C[a, b].     

Fractional Fourier transform on R2 and an application

We focus on the L^p(R²) theory of the fractional Fourier transform (FRFT) for 1 ≤ p ≤ 2. In L¹(R²), we mainly study the properties of the FRFT via introducing the two-parameter chirp operator. In order to get the point-wise convergence for the inverse FRFT, we introduce the fractional convolution and establish the corresponding approximate identities. Then the well-defined inverse FRFT is given via approximation by suitable means, such as fractional Gauss means and Able means. Furthermore, if the signal F_α,βf is received, we give the process of recovering the original signal f with MATLAB. In L²(R²), the general Plancherel theorem, direct sum decomposition, and the general Heisenberg inequality for the FRFT are obtained.     

On the Dirichlet Problem for a Class of Singular Complex Monge–Ampère Equations

We study the Dirichlet problem of the n-dimensional complex Monge–Ampère equation det(uij) = F/|z|~(2α), where 0 α n. This equation comes from La Nave–Tian's continuity approach to the Analytic Minimal Model Program.     

Quasi-periodic solutions for class of Hamiltonian partial differential equations with fixed constant potential

We consider Hamiltonian partial differential equations u_tt +|∂_x|u+ σu = f(u), x ∈ T, t ∈?, with periodic boundary conditions, where f(u) is a real-analytic function of the form f(u) = u⁵ + o(u⁵) near u = 0, σ ∈ (0, 1) is a fixed constant, and \mathbb{T}=?/\mathrm{2}\pi \mathbb{Z}T= R/2πZ. A family of quasi-periodic solutions with 2-dimensional are constructed for the equation above with σ ∈ (0, 1)\ ?. The proof is based on infinite-dimensional KAM theory and partial Birkhoff normal form.     

On L(d,1)-labelings of graphs

Given a graph G and a positive integer d, an L(d,1)-labeling of G is a function f that assigns to each vertex of G a non-negative integer such that if two vertices u and v are adjacent, then |f(u)−f(v)|d; if u and v are not adjacent but there is a two-edge path between them, then |f(u)−f(v)|1. The L(d,1)-number of G, λ_d(G), is defined as the minimum m such that there is an L(d,1)-labeling f of G with f(V){0,1,2,…,m}. Motivated by the channel assignment problem introduced by Hale (Proc. IEEE 68 (1980) 1497–1514), the L(2,1)-labeling and the L(1,1)-labeling (as d=2 and 1, respectively) have been studied extensively in the past decade. This article extends the study to all positive integers d. We prove that λ_d(G)Δ²+(d−1)Δ for any graph G with maximum degree Δ. Different lower and upper bounds of λ_d(G) for some families of graphs including trees and chordal graphs are presented. In particular, we show that the lower and the upper bounds for trees are both attainable, and the upper bound for chordal graphs can be improved for several subclasses of chordal graphs.     

The range of the p-Laplacian

We prove that for λ ≥ 0, p ≥ 3, there exists an open ball B L²(0,1) such that the problem

− (|u′|^p−2 u′)′ − λ|u|^p−2u = f, in (0,1)

, subject to certain separated boundary conditions on (0,1), has a solution for f B.     

A bidimensional inverse Stefan problem: Identification of boundary value

We propose to regularize the bidimensional inverse Stefan problem that is to determine the boundary temperature u(x,0,t) in the liquid phase in a medium of water and melting ice. This ill-posed problem is regularized by means of a convolution equation and an error estimate in L²(R²) is obtained. Numerical results are given.     

Bounded rank of C-algebras

We introduce a concept of the bounded rank (with respect to a positive constant) for unital C^*-algebras as a modification of the usual real rank and present a series of conditions insuring that bounded and real ranks coincide. These observations are then used to prove that for a given n and K>0 there exists a separable unital C^*-algebra Z_n^K such that every other separable unital C^*-algebra of bounded rank with respect to K at most n is a quotient of Z_n^K.     

Self-maps of <Emphasis Type="Italic">S</Emphasis><Superscript>2</Superscript> homotopic to a smooth map with a single <Emphasis Type="Italic">n</Emphasis>-periodic point

We show for which (d,n) ∈ Z×N there exists a smooth self-map f:S² → S² so that deg(f)=d and Fix(fⁿ) is a point.     

Pontryagin–Thom construction for approximation of mappings by embeddings

Let n3 and be positive integers, f :Sⁿ→Sⁿ be a C⁰-mapping, and denote the standard embedding. As an application of the Pontryagin–Thom construction in the special case of the two-point configuration space, we construct complete algebraic obstructions O(f) and to discrete and isotopic realizability (realizability as an embedding) of the mapping Jf. The obstructions are described in terms of stable (equivariant) homotopy groups of neighborhoods of the singular set Σ(f)={(x,y)Sⁿ×Sⁿf(x)=f(y), x≠y}.

A standard method of solving problems in differential topology is to translate them into homotopy theory by means of bordism theory and Pontryagin–Thom construction. By this method we give a generalization of the van-Kampen–Skopenkov obstruction to discrete realizability of f and the van-Kampen–Melikhov obstruction to isotopic realizability of f. The latter are complete only in the case d=0 and are the images of our obstructions under a Hurewicz homomorphism.

We consider several examples of computation of the obstructions.     

Complete-factors and f-factors

A factor F of a graph is called a complete-factor if each component of F is complete. Let G be a graph, F be a complete-factor of G with ω(F)2, and f be an integer-valued function defined on V(G) with ∑_xV(G)f(x) even. If G−V(C) has an f-factor for each component C of F, then G has an f-factor.     

Integral approach to compacton solutions of Boussinesq-like B(m,n) equation with fully nonlinear dispersion

There exists much good work in the area of usual solitons, but there appears little in the field of compacton solutions. Only a few mathematical tools were employed so far. Recently, Yan [Chaos, Solitons & Fractals 14 (2002) 1151] extended the decomposition method to seek compacton solutions of B(m,n) equation u_tt=(uⁿ)_xx+(u^m)_xxxx. In this paper we present a different approach, integral approach, to investigate the compacton solutions of the B(m,n) equation. Not only Yan’s results but also many new compacton solutions of the B(m,n) equation are obtained. Our approach is simple and also suitable for studying compacton solutions of some other equations.     

On infinite area for complex exponential function

This paper shows via a reduced family of examples, the relaxed Newton's method is applied to complex exponential function F(z)=ze^z and F(z)=ze^z2, the basin of roots has infinite area. In addition, we examined their computer pictures which are fractals for the relaxed Newton's basin. In fact, computer experiments F(z)=P(z)e^z and F(z)=P(z)e^z2, indicate this to hold for arbitrary non-constant polynomial P(z).     

Global well-posedness of the 3D generalized rotating magnetohydrodynamics equations

In this paper,we establish the global well-posedness of the generalized rotating magnetohydrodynamics equations if the initial data are in X~(1-2α) defined by X~(1-2α)={u∈D'(R~3):∫_(R~3)|ξ|~(1-2α)|(ξ)|dξ+∞}.In addition,we also give Gevrey class regularity of the solution.     

Unconditional uniqueness of solution for $$\dot H^{s_c }$$ critical 4th order NLS in high dimensions

In this paper, we study the unconditional uniqueness of solution for the Cauchy problem of Ḣ^s_c(0 ≤ s_c < 2) critical nonlinear fourth-order Schrödinger equations i∂_tu + Δ²u-εu=λ|u|^αu. By employing paraproduct estimates and Strichartz estimates, we prove that unconditional uniqueness of solution holds in C_t(I; Ḣ^s_c(R^d)) for d ≥ 11 and min{1^-, (8)/(d-4)} ≥ α >(-(d-4)+√4(d-4)²+64)/4.
