Existence of nonstationary bubbles in higher dimensions

We are interested in the existence of travelling-waves for the nonlinear Schrödinger equation in R^N with “ψ³−ψ⁵”-type nonlinearity. First, we prove an abstract result in critical point theory (a local variant of the classical saddle-point theorem). Using this result, we get the existence of travelling-waves moving with sufficiently small velocity in space dimension N4.     

Contact Classification of Linear Ordinary Differential Equations: I

It is known that a linear ordinary differential equation of order n3 can be transformed to the Laguerre–Forsyth form y ⁽ⁿ⁾= _i=3 ⁿ a _n–i (x)y ^(n–i) by a point transformation of variables. The classification of equations of this form in a neighborhood of a regular point up to a contact transformation is given.     

Uniform l1 behaviour for time discretization of a Volterra equation with completely monotonic kernel: I. stability

This paper is the first of two papers on the time discretizationof the equation u_t + ^t ₀ ß (t — s) Au (s) ds= 0, t > 0, u (0) = u₀, where A is a self-adjoint denselydefined linear operator on a Hilbert space H with a completeeigensystem {_m, _m}_{m = 1}, and ß (t) is completely monotonicand locally integrable, but not constant. The equation is discretizedin time using first-order differences in combination with order-oneconvolution quadrature. The stability properties of the timediscretization are derived in the l¹_t (0, ; H) norm.     

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.
