Finite Time Extinction for Nonlinear Schrödinger Equation in 1D and 2D

We consider a nonlinear Schrödinger equation with power nonlinearity, either on a compact manifold without boundary, or on the whole space in the presence of harmonic confinement, in space dimension one and two. Up to introducing an extra superlinear damping to prevent finite time blow up, we show that the presence of a sublinear damping always leads to finite time extinction of the solution in 1D, and that the same phenomenon is present in the case of small mass initial data in 2D.     

Mechanical wave momentum from the first principles

Axial momentum carried by waves in a uniform waveguide is considered based on the conservation laws and a kind of the causality principle. Specifically, we examine (without resorting to constitutive data) steady-state waves of an arbitrary shape, periodic waves which speed differs from the speed of its form and binary waves carrying self-equilibrated momentum. The approach allows us to represent momentum as a product of the wave mass and the wave speed. The propagating wave mass, positive or negative, is the excess of that in the wave over its initial value. This general representation is valid for mechanical waves of arbitrary nature and intensity. The finite-amplitude longitudinal and periodic transverse waves are examined in more detail. It is shown in particular, that the transverse excitation of a string or an elastic beam results in the binary wave. The closed-form expressions for the drift in these waves functionally reduce to the Stokes’ drift in surface water waves (a half the latter by the value). Besides, based on the general representation an energy–momentum relation is discussed and the physical meaning of the so-called “wave momentum” is clarified.     

Three qubits in a symmetric environment: Dissipatively generated asymptotic entanglement

We study the asymptotic entanglement of three identical qubits under the action of a Markovian open system dynamics that does not distinguish them. We show that by adding a completely depolarized qubit to a special class of two-qubit states, by letting them reach the asymptotic state and by finally eliminating the added qubit, can provide more entanglement than by direct immersion of the two qubits within the same environment.     

An asymptotic Reissner–Mindlin plate model

A mathematical study via variational convergence of a periodic distribution of classical linearly elastic thin plates softly abutted together shows that it is not necessary to use a different continuum model nor to make constitutive symmetry hypothesis as starting points to deduce the Reissner–Mindlin plate model.     

Boundary Behavior of Semigroups of Holomorphic Mappings on the Unit Ball in C n

We study the asymptotic behavior of semigroups generated by holomorphic mappings by using an infinitesimal version of the boundary Schwarz-Wolff Lemma. In particular, the best rate of exponential convergence is obtained. In addition, we establish a geometrical version of the implicit function theorem.     

Resource augmentation for online bounded space bin packing

We study online bounded space bin packing in the resource augmentation model of competitive analysis. In this model, the online bounded space packing algorithm has to pack a list L of items in (0,1] into a small number of bins of size b1. Its performance is measured by comparing the produced packing against the optimal offline packing of the list L into bins of size 1.We present a complete solution to this problem: For every bin size b1, we design online bounded space bin packing algorithms whose worst case ratio in this model comes arbitrarily close to a certain bound ρ(b). Moreover, we prove that no online bounded space algorithm can perform better than ρ(b) in the worst case.     

On a Delay Reaction-Diffusion Difference Equation of Neutral Type

In this paper, we first consider a delay difference equation of neutral type of the form: Δ(y _n + py _n−k + q _n y _n−l = 0 for n∈ℤ⁺(0) (1*) and give a different condition from that of Yu and Wang (Funkcial Ekvac, 1994, 37(2): 241–248) to guarantee that every non-oscillatory solution of (1*) with p = 1 tends to zero as n→∞. Moreover, we consider a delay reaction-diffusion difference equation of neutral type of the form: Δ₁(u _n,m + pu _n−k,m ) + q _n,m u _n−l,m = a ²Δ² ₂ u _{n +1, m−1} for (n,m) ∈ℤ⁺ (0) ×Ω, (2*) study various cases of p in the neutral term and obtain that if p≥−1 then every non-oscillatory solution of (2*) tends uniformly in m∈Ω to zero as n→∞; if p = −1 then every solution of (2*) oscillates and if p < −1 then every non-oscillatory solution of (2*) goes uniformly in m∈Ω to infinity or minus infinity as n→∞ under some hypotheses.
