On the topology of isoparametric hypersurfaces with four distinct principal curvatures

Let be the pair of multiplicities of an isoparametric hypersurface in the unit sphere with four distinct principal curvatures -w.r.g., we assume that . In the present paper we prove that, in the case 4B2 of U. Abresch (Math. Ann. 264 (1983), 283-302) (i.e., where ), must be either 2 or 4. As a by-product, we prove that the focal manifold of an isoparametric hypersurface is homeomorphic to a bundle over if one of the following conditions holds: (1) and or ; (2) and . This generalizes partial results of Wang (1988) about the topology of Clifford type examples. Consequently, the hypersurface is homeomorphic to an iterated sphere bundle under the above condition.

     

On the determinant of quaternionic polynomial matrices and its application to system stability

In this paper, we propose a definition of determinant for quaternionic polynomial matrices inspired by the well‐known Dieudonné determinant for the constant case. This notion allows to characterize the stability of linear dynamical systems with quaternionic coefficients, yielding results which generalize the ones obtained for the real and complex cases.

In this paper a partial answer to the fourth open problem of Bethuel-Brezis- Hélein [1] is given. When the boundary datum has topological degree ± 1, the asymptotic behavior of minimizers of the Ginzburg-Landau functional with variable coefficient \frac{1}{x_1} is given. The singular point is located.

Two results on entire solutions of Ginzburg-Landau system in higher dimensions

In this short article we prove two results on the Ginzburg-Landau system of equations Δu=u(|u|²−1), where . First we prove a Liouville-type theorem which asserts that every solution u, satisfying , is constant (and of unit norm), provided N?4 (here M?1). In our second result, we give an answer to a question raised by Brézis (open problem 3 of (Proceedings of the Symposium on Pure Mathematics, vol. 65, American Mathematical Society, Providence, RI, 1999), about the symmetry for the Ginzburg-Landau system in the case N=M?3. We also formulate three open problems concerning the classification of entire solutions of the Ginzburg-Landau system in any dimension.     

Solutions of Ginzburg-Landau equations with weight and minimizers of the renormalized energy

In this paper, it is proved that for any given d non-degenerate local minimum points of the renormalized energy of weighted Ginzburg-Landau eqautions, one can find solutions to the Ginzburg-Landau equations whose vortices tend to these d points. This provides the connections between solutions of a class of Ginzburg-Landau equations with weight and minimizers of the renormalized energy.

An algorithm for decomposing a polynomial system into normal ascending sets

We present an algorithm to decompose a polynomial system into a finite set of normal ascending sets such that the set of the zeros of the polynomial system is the union of the sets of the regular zeros of the normal ascending sets.If the polynomial system is zero dimensional,the set of the zeros of the polynomials is the union of the sets of the zeros of the normal ascending sets.     

A note about the average number of real roots of a Bernstein polynomial system

We prove that the real roots of normal random homogeneous polynomial systems with n+1$n+1$ variables and given degrees are, in some sense, equidistributed in the projective space P(Rⁿ⁺¹)$\mathbb{P}\left({\mathbb{R}}^{n+1}\right)$. From this fact we compute the average number of real roots of normal random polynomial systems given in the Bernstein basis.     

On the number of \(n\)-dimensional invariant spheres in polynomial vector fields of \(\mathbb{C}^{n+1}\)

We study the polynomial vector fields \(\mathcal{X}= \displaystyle \sum_{i=1}^{n+1} P_i(x_1,\ldots,x_{n+1}) \frac{\partial}{\partial x_i}\) in \(\mathbb{C}^{n+1}\) with \(n\geq 1\) . Let \(m_i\) be the degree of the polynomial \(P_i\). We call \((m_1,\ldots,m_{n+1})\) the degree of \(\mathcal{X}\). For these polynomial vector fields \(\mathcal{X}\) and in function of their degree we provide upper bounds, first for the maximal number of invariant \(n\)-dimensional spheres, and second for the maximal number of \(n\)-dimensional concentric invariant spheres.     

Ginzburg-Landau minimizers with prescribed degrees. Capacity of the domain and emergence of vortices

Let Ω⊂R² be a simply connected domain, let ω be a simply connected subdomain of Ω, and set A=Ω?ω. Suppose that J is the class of complex-valued maps on the annular domain A with degree 1 both on ∂Ω and on ∂ω. We consider the variational problem for the Ginzburg-Landau energy Eλ among all maps in J. Because only the degree of the map is prescribed on the boundary, the set J is not necessarily closed under a weak H¹-convergence. We show that the attainability of the minimum of Eλ over J is determined by the value of cap(A)—the H¹-capacity of the domain A. In contrast, it is known, that the existence of minimizers of Eλ among the maps with a prescribed Dirichlet boundary data does not depend on this geometric characteristic. When cap(A)?π (A is either subcritical or critical), we show that the global minimizers of Eλ exist for each λ>0 and they are vortexless when λ is large. Assuming that λ→∞, we demonstrate that the minimizers of Eλ converge in H¹(A) to an S¹-valued harmonic map which we explicitly identify. When cap(A)<π (A is supercritical), we prove that either (i) there is a critical value λ₀ such that the global minimizers exist when λ<λ₀ and they do not exist when λ>λ₀, or (ii) the global minimizers exist for each λ>0. We conjecture that the second case never occurs. Further, for large λ, we establish that the minimizing sequences/minimizers in supercritical domains develop exactly two vortices—a vortex of degree 1 near ∂Ω and a vortex of degree −1 near ∂ω.     

Pathfollowing for essentially singular boundary value problems with application to the complex Ginzburg-Landau equation

We present a pathfollowing strategy based on pseudo-arclength parametrization for the solution of parameter-dependent boundary value problems for ordinary differential equations. We formulate criteria which ensure the successful application of this method for the computation of solution branches with turning points for problems with an essential singularity. The advantages of our approach result from the possibility to use efficient mesh selection, and a favorable conditioning even for problems posed on a semi-infinite interval and subsequently transformed to an essentially singular problem. This is demonstrated by a Matlab implementation of the solution method based on an adaptive collocation scheme which is well suited to solve problems of practical relevance. As one example, we compute solution branches for the complex Ginzburg-Landau equation which start from non-monotone ‘multi-bump’ solutions of the nonlinear Schrödinger equation. Following the branches around turning points, real-valued solutions of the nonlinear Schrödinger equation can easily be computed.

Multiplicity and stability of time-periodic solutions of Ginzburg-Landau equations of superconductivity

In this article we shall show that the Ginzburg-Landau equations admit at least three time-periodic solutions. One of the time-periodic solutions describes the non-superconductive (or normal) state and the other one describes the superconductivity state. We will also show that the time-periodic solutions are exponentially stable. Furthermore, the method we use in this article can be used to find numerical approximations to the time-periodic solutions.     

Sum of squares methods for minimizing polynomial forms over spheres and hypersurfaces

This paper studies the problem of minimizing a homogeneous polynomial (form) f(x) over the unit sphere Sn-1={x∈?n:‖x‖2=|1}. The problem is NP-hard when f(x) has degree 3 or higher. Denote by f_min (resp. f_max) the minimum (resp. maximum) value of f(x) on Sn-1. First, when f(x) is an even form of degree 2d, we study the standard sum of squares (SOS) relaxation for finding a lower bound of the minimum f_min:max? γ s.t. f(x)-γ·‖x‖22d? is SOS.Let f_sos be the above optimal value. Then we show that for all n≥2d,1≤fmax?-fsosfmax?-fmin?≤C(d)(n2d).Here, the constant C(d) is independent of n. Second, when f(x) is a multi-form and Sn-1 becomes a multi-unit sphere, we generalize the above SOS relaxation and prove a similar bound. Third, when f(x) is sparse, we prove an improved bound depending on its sparsity pattern; when f(x) is odd, we formulate the problem equivalently as minimizing a certain even form, and prove a similar bound. Last, for minimizing f(x) over a hypersurface H(g)={x∈?n:g(x)=1} defined by a positive definite form g(x), we generalize the above SOS relaxation and prove a similar bound.
