Liouville Theorems for Generalized Harmonic Functions

Each nonzero solution of the stationary Schrödinger equation u(x)–c(r)u(x)=0 in R ⁿ with a nonnegative radial potential c(r) must have certain minimal growth at infinity. If r ² c(r)=O(1), r, then a solution having power growth at infinity, is a generalized harmonic polynomial.

Regularity properties of solutions of a class of elliptic-parabolic nonlinear Levi type equations

In this paper we prove the smoothness of solutions of a class of elliptic-parabolic nonlinear Levi type equations, represented as a sum of squares plus a vector field. By means of a freezing method the study of the operator is reduced to the analysis of a family of left invariant operators on a free nilpotent Lie group. The fundamental solution of the operator is used as a parametrix of the fundamental solution of the Levi operator, and provides an explicit representation formula for the solution of the given equation. Differentiating this formula and applying a bootstrap method, we prove that the solution is .

     

A non-homogeneous boundary-value problem for the Korteweg-de Vries equation in a quarter plane

The Korteweg-de Vries equation was first derived by Boussinesq and Korteweg and de Vries as a model for long-crested small-amplitude long waves propagating on the surface of water. The same partial differential equation has since arisen as a model for unidirectional propagation of waves in a variety of physical systems. In mathematical studies, consideration has been given principally to pure initial-value problems where the wave profile is imagined to be determined everywhere at a given instant of time and the corresponding solution models the further wave motion. The practical, quantitative use of the Korteweg-de Vries equation and its relatives does not always involve the pure initial-value problem. Instead, initial-boundary-value problems often come to the fore. A natural example arises when modeling the effect in a channel of a wave maker mounted at one end, or in modeling near-shore zone motions generated by waves propagating from deep water. Indeed, the initial-boundary-value problem

studied here arises naturally as a model whenever waves determined at an entry point propagate into a patch of a medium for which disturbances are governed approximately by the Korteweg-de Vries equation. The present essay improves upon earlier work on (0.1) by making use of modern methods for the study of nonlinear dispersive wave equations. Speaking technically, local well-posedness is obtained for initial data in the class for \frac34$"> and boundary data in , whereas global well-posedness is shown to hold for when , and for when . In addition, it is shown that the correspondence that associates to initial data and boundary data the unique solution of (0.1) is analytic. This implies, for example, that solutions may be approximated arbitrarily well by solving a finite number of linear problems.

     

On Solutions of the q-Hypergeometric Equation with q N = 1

We consider the q-hypergeometric equation with q ^N = 1 and , , . We solve this equation on the space of functions given by a power series multiplied by a power of the logarithmic function. We prove that the subspace of solutions is two-dimensional over the field of quasi-constants. We get a basis for this space explicitly. In terms of this basis, we represent the q-hypergeometric function of the Barnes type constructed by Nishizawa and Ueno. Then we see that this function has logarithmic singularity at the origin. This is a difference between the q-hypergeometric functions with 0 < |q| < 1 and at |q| = 1.     

Note: An Unusual Route to General Relativity Equation in Presence of Dust in Irrotational Motion

We show that the general relativity theory equation, in presence of pressureless matter (dust) in irrotational motion, can be recovered from a scalar-tensor like variational approach. In this approach, the kinetic energy, , of a dynamical scalar field , couples directly to gravity. The lagrangian, exempt of explicit matter term, is varied in the framework of the first order formalism, and a conformal transformation, restoring riemannian geometry, is made. In this approach, it turns out that a non-empty spacetime is necessarily four-dimensional.     

Letter: Bounds on the Deficit Solid Angle Parameter from Solar System Tests

We analyze the Mercury perihelion precession, the bending of starlight, and the radar echo delay in the Schwarzschild field modified by the presence of a solid angle deficit. By using the experimental data we obtain that the parameter characterizing the solid angle deficit is less than 10^–9, 10^–8 and 10^–9, respectively, on the length scales associated with such phenomena. In particular, if the solid angle deficit is generated by a global monopole, it is shown that within the length scales associated with such phenomena, the observational data available constrain the monopole energy scale to lower bounds which are in considerable agreement with the limits derived from grand unified theory and cosmology.
