G cubic transition between two circles with shape control

This paper describes a method for joining two circles with an S-shaped or with a broken back C-shaped transition curve, composed of at most two spiral segments. In highway and railway route design or car-like robot path planning, it is often desirable to have such a transition. It is shown that a single cubic curve can be used for blending or for a transition curve preserving G²$G^2$ continuity with local shape control parameter and more flexible constraints. Provision of the shape parameter and flexibility provide freedom to modify the shape in a stable manner which is an advantage over previous work by Meek, Walton, Sakai and Habib.     

A gap theorem on submanifolds with finite total curvature in spheres

We study a complete noncompact submanifold Mⁿ$M^n$ in a sphere S^n+p${\mathbb{S}}^{n+p}$. We prove that there admit no nontrivial L²$L^2$-harmonic 1-forms on M if the total curvature is bounded from above by a constant depending only on n. The gap theorem is a generalized version of Carron?s, Yun?s, Cavalcante?s and the first author?s results on submanifolds in Euclidean spaces and Seo?s result on submanifolds in hyperbolic space without the condition of minimality.     

Energy measures on p.c.f. self-similar sets

On connected post critically finite (p.c.f.) self-similar sets we give a linear extension method to compute the energy measures of harmonic functions with respect to the standard energy, and as an application we also compute the L²$L^2$ dimensions of these measures on some p.c.f. self-similar sets.     

Asymptotic stability of the rarefaction wave for the generalized KdV–Burgers–Kuramoto equation

In this paper, we will study the Cauchy problem for the generalized KdV–Burgers–Kuramoto equation, which represents a dissipative, stroboscopic and unstable system in physics. When the initial data is a small disturbance of a rarefaction wave of the inviscid Burgers equation, we prove the global existence of the solution to the corresponding Cauchy problem and asymptotic stability of the rarefaction wave. The analysis is based on a priori estimates and the L²$L^2$-energy method.     

The Index theorem for quasi-tori

The Index theorem for holomorphic line bundles on complex tori asserts that some cohomology groups of a line bundle vanish according to the signature of the associated hermitian form. In this article, this theorem is generalized to quasi-tori, i.e. connected complex abelian Lie groups which are not necessarily compact. In view of the Remmert–Morimoto decomposition of quasi-tori as well as the Künneth formula, it suffices to consider only Cousin-quasi-tori, i.e. quasi-tori which have no non-constant holomorphic functions. The Index theorem is generalized to holomorphic line bundles, both linearizable and non-linearizable, on Cousin-quasi-tori using L²$L^2$-methods coupled with the Kazama–Dolbeault isomorphism and Bochner–Kodaira formulas.     

Nonlinear stability of traveling wave solutions for the compressible fluid models of Korteweg type

This paper is concerned with the existence and time-asymptotic nonlinear stability of traveling wave solutions to the Cauchy problem of the one-dimensional compressible fluid models of Korteweg type, which governs the motions of the compressible fluids with internal capillarity. The existence of traveling wave solutions is obtained by the phase plane analysis, then the traveling wave solution is shown to be asymptotically stable by the elementary L²$L^2$-energy method.     

Dimensional variance inequalities of Brascamp–Lieb type and a local approach to dimensional Prékopaʼs theorem

We give a new approach, inspired by Hörmander?s L²$L^2$-method, to weighted variance inequalities which extend results obtained by Bobkov and Ledoux. It provides in particular a local proof of the dimensional functional forms of the Brunn–Minkowski inequalities. We also present several applications of these variance inequalities, including reverse Hölder inequalities for convex functions, weighted Brascamp–Lieb inequalities and sharp weighted Poincaré inequalities for generalized Cauchy measures.     

Bernstein–Nagumo conditions and solutions to nonlinear differential inequalities

For Ω$\Omega$, an open bounded subset of R^N${\mathbb{R}}^N$ with smooth boundary and 1<p<∞$1<p<\infty$, we establish W^1,p(Ω)$W^{1,p}\left(\Omega \right)$a priori bounds and prove the compactness of solution sets to differential inequalities of the form

|divA(x,∇u)|≤F(x,u,∇u),$\left|\text{div}A(x,\nabla u)\right|\le F(x,u,\nabla u)\text{,}$

which are bounded in L^∞(Ω)$L^{\infty }\left(\Omega \right)$. The main point in this work is that the nonlinear term F$F$ may depend on ∇u$\nabla u$ and may grow as fast as a power of order p$p$ in this variable. Such growth conditions have been used extensively in the study of boundary value problems for nonlinear ordinary differential equations and are known as Bernstein–Nagumo growth conditions. In addition, we use these results to establish a sub-supersolution theorem.     

Some remarks on the asymptotic profiles of solutions for strongly damped wave equations on the 1-D half space

We consider a mixed problem with the Dirichlet null boundary conditions on the 1-dimensional half space (0,+∞)$(0,+\infty )$. We will derive an asymptotic profiles of the corresponding solutions in the case when the initial data belong to a weighted L^1,2(0,∞)$L^{1,2}(0,\infty )$ space by employing a method recently introduced in [7] or [8].     

A generalized Cuntz–Krieger uniqueness theorem for higher-rank graphs

We present a uniqueness theorem for k  -graph C^?$C^{?}$-algebras that requires neither an aperiodicity nor a gauge invariance assumption. Specifically, we prove that for the injectivity of a representation of a k  -graph C^?$C^{?}$-algebra, it is sufficient that the representation be injective on a distinguished abelian C^?$C^{?}$-subalgebra. A crucial part of the proof is the application of an abstract uniqueness theorem, which says that such a uniqueness property follows from the existence of a jointly faithful collection of states on the ambient C^?$C^{?}$-algebra, each of which is the unique extension of a state on the distinguished abelian C^?$C^{?}$-subalgebra.     

Asymptotic stability of rarefaction waves for the generalized KdV–Burgers equation on the half-line

We investigate the asymptotic behavior of solutions of the initial boundary value problem for the generalized KdV–Burgers equation _ut+f_(u)x=_uxx−_uxxx$u_t+f{\left(u\right)}_x=u_{xx}-u_{xxx}$ on the half-line with the boundary condition u(0,t)=_u−$u(0,t)=u_{-}$. The corresponding Cauchy problems of the behaviors of weak and strong rarefaction waves have respectively been studied by Wang and Zhu [Z.A. Wang, C.J. Zhu, Stability of the rarefaction wave for the generalized KdV–Burgers equation, Acta Math. Sci. 22B (3) (2002) 309–328] and Duan and Zhao [R. Duan, H.J. Zhao, Global stability of strong rarefaction waves for the generalized KdV–Burgers equation, Nonlinear Anal. TMA 66 (2007) 1100–1117]. In the present problem, on the basis of the Dirichlet boundary conditions, the asymptotic states are divided into five cases dependent on the signs of the characteristic speeds f^′(_u±)$f^{\prime }\left(u_{\pm }\right)$. In the cases of 0≤f^′(_u−)<f^′(_u+)$0\le f^{\prime }\left(u_{-}\right)<f^{\prime }\left(u_{+}\right)$, we prove the global existence of solutions and asymptotic stability of the weak rarefaction waves when the initial disturbance is small. Also, we can get asymptotic stability of the strong rarefaction waves when f(u)$f\left(u\right)$ satisfies a certain growth condition.     

Avoiding σ-porous sets in Hilbert spaces

We give a constructive proof that any σ  -porous subset of a Hilbert space has Lebesgue measure zero on typical C¹$C^1$ curves. Further, we discover that this result does not extend to all forms of porosity; we find that even power-p   porous sets may meet many C¹$C^1$ curves in positive measure.     

Hypergroups and invariant complemented subspaces

Let K   be a hypergroup with a Haar measure. The purpose of the present paper is to initiate a systematic approach to the study of the class of invariant complemented subspaces of _L∞(K)$L_{\infty }(K)$ and _C0(K)$C_0(K)$, the class of left translation invariant w^?$w^{?}$-subalgebras of _L∞(K)$L_{\infty }(K)$ and finally the class of non-zero left translation invariant C^?$C^{?}$-subalgebras of _C0(K)$C_0(K)$ in the hypergroup context with the goal of finding some relations between these function spaces. Among other results, we construct two correspondences: one, between closed Weil subhypergroups and certain left translation invariant w^?$w^{?}$-subalgebras of _L∞(K)$L_{\infty }(K)$, and another, between compact subhypergroups and a specific subclass of the class of left translation invariant C^?$C^{?}$-subalgebras of _C0(K)$C_0(K)$. By the help of these two characterizations, we extract some results about invariant complemented subspaces of _L∞(K)$L_{\infty }(K)$ and _C0(K)$C_0(K)$.
