Existence of solutions for the critical elliptic system with inverse square potentials

Let Ω ? 0 be an open bounded domain in R ^N (N ≥ 3) and $2^* (s) = \tfrac{{2(N - s)}} {{N - 2}}$ , 0 < s < 2. We consider the following elliptic system of two equations in H ₀ ¹ (Ω) × H ₀ ¹ (Ω): $$- \Delta u - t\frac{u} {{\left| x \right|^2 }} = \frac{{2\alpha }} {{\alpha + \beta }}\frac{{\left| u \right|^{\alpha - 2} u\left| v \right|^\beta }} {{\left| x \right|^s }} + \lambda u, - \Delta v - t\frac{v} {{\left| x \right|^2 }} = \frac{{2\beta }} {{\alpha + \beta }}\frac{{\left| u \right|^\alpha \left| v \right|^{\beta - 2} v}} {{\left| x \right|^s }} + \mu v,$$ where λ, µ > 0 and α, β > 1 satisfy α + β = 2*(s). Using the Moser iteration, we prove the asymptotic behavior of solutions at the origin. In addition, by exploiting the Mountain-Pass theorem, we establish the existence of solutions.     

Oscillation for a class of diffusive hematopoiesis model with several arguments

By considering solution curve's or surface's composition of the functions of several variables and constructing the suitable lower-upper solution pair for the following special diffusive Hematopoiesis model eP (t, x)/et= ΔP (t, x)- γP (t, x) +m Σi=1 βiP (t-τi,x)/1+Pn (t-τi,x) (0.1)under Neumann boundary condition, sufficient conditions are provided for the oscillation of the positive equilibrium for (0.1). Moreover, these results extend or complement existing results.     

On the existence of solutions for an elliptic system of equations with arbitrary order growth

Let BR be the ball centered at the origin with radius R in RN ( N ≥2). In this paper we study the existence of solution for the following elliptic systemu -△u+λu=p/(p + q)κ(| x |)) u(p-1)vq1,x ∈BR1,-△u+λu=p/(p + q)κ(| x |)) upv(q-1)1,x ∈BR1,u > 01,v > 01,x ∈ BR1,(u)/(v)=01,(v)/(v)=01,x ∈BRwhereλ > 0 , μ > 0 p ≥ 2, q ≥ 2,ν is the unit outward normal at the boundary BR . Under certainassumptions on κ ( | x | ), using variational methods, we prove the existence of a positive and radially increasing solution for this problem without growth conditions on the nonlinearity.

For a nonlinear hyperbolic equation with variable coefficients and the infinite-dimensional Lévy Laplacian Δ _L , $$\beta \left( {\sqrt 2 \left\| x \right\|_H \frac{{\partial U(t,x)}} {{\partial t}}} \right)\frac{{\partial ^2 U(t,x)}} {{\partial t^2 }} + \alpha (U(t,x))\left[ {\frac{{\partial U(t,x)}} {{\partial t}}} \right]^2 = \Delta _L U(t,x),$$ we present algorithms for the solution of the boundary-value problem U(0, x) = u ₀, U(t, 0) = u ₁ and the exterior boundary-value problem U(0, x) = v ₀, \(\left. {U(t,x)} \right|_{\Gamma = v_1 }\) , \(\lim _{\left\| x \right\|_{H \to \infty } } \left. {U(t,x) = v_2 } \right|\) for the class of Shilov functions depending on the parameter t.     

On the order of the error function of the square-full integers

LetL(x) denote the number of square full integers ≤x. By a square-full integer, we mean a positive integer all of whose prime factors have multiplicity at least two. It is well known that $$\left. {L(x)} \right| \sim \frac{{\zeta ({3 \mathord{\left/ {\vphantom {3 2}} \right. \kern-\nulldelimiterspace} 2})}}{{\zeta (3)}}x^{{1 \mathord{\left/ {\vphantom {1 2}} \right. \kern-\nulldelimiterspace} 2}} + \frac{{\zeta ({2 \mathord{\left/ {\vphantom {2 3}} \right. \kern-\nulldelimiterspace} 3})}}{{\zeta (2)}}x^{{1 \mathord{\left/ {\vphantom {1 3}} \right. \kern-\nulldelimiterspace} 3}} ,$$ where ζ(s) denotes the Riemann Zeta function. Let Δ(x) denote the error function in the asymptotic formula forL(x). On the basis of the Riemann hypothesis (R.H.), it is known that \(\Delta (x) = O(x^{\tfrac{{13}}{{81}} + \varepsilon } )\) for every ε>0. In this paper, we prove the following results on the assumption of R.H.: (1) $$\frac{1}{x}\int\limits_1^x {\Delta (t)dt} = O(x^{\tfrac{1}{{12}} + \varepsilon } ),$$ (2) $$\int\limits_1^x {\frac{{\Delta (t)}}{t}\log } ^{v - 1} \left( {\frac{x}{t}} \right) = O(x^{\tfrac{1}{{12}} + \varepsilon } )$$ for any integer ν≥1. In fact, we prove some general results and deduce the above from them. On the basis of (1) and (2) above, we conjecture that \(\Delta (x) = O(x^{{1 \mathord{\left/ {\vphantom {1 {12}}} \right. \kern-0em} {12}} + \varepsilon } )\) under the assumption of R.H.     

Solvability of an integro-differential equation with partial derivatives on the half-axis

The paper considers the following integro-differential equation on the semi-axis: $ \frac{{\partial f(t,x)}} {{\partial t}} + \frac{{\partial f(t,x)}} {{\partial x}} + qf(t,x) = \int_0^\infty {k(x - x')f(t,x')dx'} , $ where 0 ≤ k(x) ? L ₁(?∞,∞), q = const and f(t, x) is the unknown function. This equation has significant applications in different fields of natural sciences, particularly in econometrics (see [1]), where the unknown function is considered as the density of the national income distribution function, q characterizes the mean savings etc., k(x) is the function of income rearrangement. A structural theorem of the solution is proved, whose asymptotic at infinity is found.     

Extreme Values of Automorphic L-Functions

Ω-theorems for some automorphic L-functions and, in particular, for the Rankin?Selberg L-function L(s, f × f) are considered. For example, as t tends to infinity, $$ \log \left| {L\left( {\frac{1}{2}+it,f\times f} \right)} \right|={\varOmega_{+}}\left( {{{{\left( {\frac{{\log t}}{{\log\;\log t}}} \right)}}^{1/2 }}} \right) $$ and $$ \log \left| {L\left( {{\sigma_0}+it,f\times f} \right)} \right|={\varOmega_{+}}\left( {{{{\left( {\frac{{\log t}}{{\log\;\log t}}} \right)}}^{{1-{\sigma_0}}}}} \right) $$ For a fixed σ ₀ ∈ $ \left( {\frac{1}{2},1} \right) $ .

On the order of the error function of the square-full integers,II

LetL(x) denote the number of square-full integers not exceedingx. It is well-known that $$L\left( x \right) \sim \frac{{\zeta \left( {{3 \mathord{\left/ {\vphantom {3 2}} \right. \kern-\nulldelimiterspace} 2}} \right)}}{{\zeta \left( 3 \right)}}x^{{1 \mathord{\left/ {\vphantom {1 2}} \right. \kern-\nulldelimiterspace} 2}} + \frac{{\zeta \left( {{2 \mathord{\left/ {\vphantom {2 3}} \right. \kern-\nulldelimiterspace} 3}} \right)}}{{\zeta \left( 2 \right)}}x^{{1 \mathord{\left/ {\vphantom {1 3}} \right. \kern-\nulldelimiterspace} 3}} ,$$ whereζ(s) denotes the Riemann Zeta function, LetΔ(x) denote the error function in the asymptotic formula forL(x). On the assumption of the Riemann hypothesis (R.H.), it is known that $$\Delta x = O\left( {x^{13/81 + 8} } \right)$$ for everyε > 0. In this paper, we prove on the assumption of R.H. that $$\frac{1}{x}\int\limits_x^1 {\left| {\Delta \left( t \right)} \right|dt = O\left( {x^{1/10 + ^8 } } \right)} .$$ In fact, we prove a more general result. We conjecture that $$\Delta x = O\left( {x^{1/10 + ^8 } } \right)$$ under the assumption of the R.H.     

Another new goldfish model

A new integrable (indeed, solvable) model of goldfish type is identified, and some of its properties are discussed. Its Newtonian equations of motion read as follows: $$\ddot z_n = \frac{{\dot z_n^2 }} {{z_n }} + c_1 \frac{{\dot z_n }} {{z_n }} + c_2 \dot z_n + c_2 c_3 z_n + c_1 c_2 + \sum\limits_{m = 1,m \ne n}^N {\frac{{\left( {\dot z_n + c_3 z_n + c_1 } \right)\left( {\dot z_m + c_3 z_m + c_1 } \right)}} {{z_m }}} \cdot \frac{{z_n + z_m }} {{z_n - z_m }}, n = 1, \ldots N,$$ where c ₁ , c ₂ , and c ₃ are arbitrary constants, z_n ?? z_n(t) are the N dependent variables, N is an arbitrary positive number (N >1), t is the independent variable (??time??) and the dots indicate time-differentiations.     

An optimization algorithm for the pile driver problem

In this paper we present the analysis of an algorithm of Uzawa type to compute solutions of the quasi variational inequality $$\begin{gathered} (QVI)\left( {\frac{{\partial ^2 u}}{{\partial t^2 }},\upsilon - \frac{{\partial u}}{{\partial t}}} \right) + \left( {\frac{{\partial u}}{{\partial x}},\frac{{\partial \upsilon }}{{\partial x}} - \frac{{\partial ^2 u}}{{\partial x\partial t}}} \right) + \left( {\frac{{\partial ^2 u}}{{\partial x\partial t}},\frac{{\partial \upsilon }}{{\partial x}} - \frac{{\partial ^2 u}}{{\partial x\partial t}}} \right) + \hfill \\ + \left[ {u(1,t) + \frac{{\partial u}}{{\partial t}}(1,t)} \right]\left[ {\upsilon (1) - \frac{{\partial u}}{{\partial t}}(1,t)} \right] + J(u;\upsilon ) - J\left( {u;\frac{{\partial u}}{{\partial t}}} \right) \geqslant \hfill \\ \geqslant \left( {f,\upsilon - \frac{{\partial u}}{{\partial t}}} \right) + F(t)\left[ {\upsilon (0) - \frac{{\partial u}}{{\partial t}}(0,t)} \right],t > 0,\forall \upsilon \in H^1 (0,1), \hfill \\ \end{gathered} $$ which is a model for the dynamics of a pile driven into the ground under the action of a pile hammer. In (QVI) (...) is the scalar product inL ²(0, 1) andJ(u;.) is a convex functional onH ¹(0, 1), for eachu, describing the soil-pile friction effect.     

The Cauchy problem for the wave equation with Lévy Laplacian

We present the solution of the Cauchy problem (the initial-value problem in the whole space) for the wave equation with infinite-dimensional Lévy Laplacian Δ _L , $$ \frac{{\partial ^2 U(t,x)}} {{\partial t^2 }} = \Delta _L U(t,x) $$ in two function classes, the Shilov class and the Gâteaux class.     

The prime-counting function and its analytic approximations

The paper describes a systematic computational study of the prime counting function π(x) and three of its analytic approximations: the logarithmic integral \({\text{li}}{\left( x \right)}: = {\int_0^x {\frac{{dt}}{{\log \,t}}} }\), \({\text{li}}{\left( x \right)} - \frac{1}{2}{\text{li}}{\left( {{\sqrt x }} \right)}\), and \(R{\left( x \right)}: = {\sum\nolimits_{k = 1}^\infty {{\mu {\left( k \right)}{\text{li}}{\left( {x^{{1 \mathord{\left/ {\vphantom {1 k}} \right. \kern-\nulldelimiterspace} k}} } \right)}} \mathord{\left/ {\vphantom {{\mu {\left( k \right)}{\text{li}}{\left( {x^{{1 \mathord{\left/ {\vphantom {1 k}} \right. \kern-\nulldelimiterspace} k}} } \right)}} k}} \right. \kern-\nulldelimiterspace} k} }\), where μ is the Möbius function. The results show that π(x)x) for 2≤x≤10¹⁴, and also seem to support several conjectures on the maximal and average errors of the three approximations, most importantly \({\left| {\pi {\left( x \right)} - {\text{li}}{\left( x \right)}} \right|} < x^{{1 \mathord{\left/ {\vphantom {1 2}} \right. \kern-\nulldelimiterspace} 2}}\) and \( - \frac{2}{5}x^{{3 \mathord{\left/ {\vphantom {3 2}} \right. \kern-\nulldelimiterspace} 2}} < {\int_2^x {{\left( {\pi {\left( u \right)} - {\text{li}}{\left( u \right)}} \right)}du < 0} }\) for all x>2. The paper concludes with a short discussion of prospects for further computational progress.     

On the modulus of continuity in connection with a problem of J. Szabados concerning strong approximation

Пустьf(x) — интегрируемая 2π-периодическая функция, aω(f,δ) иs _n(x)=s_n(f, x). соответственно, модуль непрерывности иn-ая сумма Фурье этой функции. В настоящей работе, продолжающей исследования Г. Фрейда, Л. Лейндлера—E. M. Никищина, И. Сабадоша и К. И. Осколкова, доказывается следующая теорема.Если Ω(u) — выпуклая или вогнутая непрерывная функция и если (1) 1 $$\left\| {\left. {\sum\limits_{k = 1}^\infty \Omega (|S_k (x) - f(x)|)} \right\|_C } \right.$$ то 1 $$\omega (f;\delta ) = O\left( {\delta \int\limits_\delta ^1 {\frac{{\bar \Omega (v)}}{{v^2 }}dv} } \right),$$ где ¯Ω(v) —функция, обратная к Ω(и). При этом существует функция f₀(х), удовлетворяющая условию (1), для которой $$\omega (f;\delta ) = c\delta \int\limits_\delta ^1 {\frac{{\bar \Omega (v)}}{{v^2 }}dv} (c > 0).$$ ЕслиΩ(u)— вогнутая функция, то интеграл \(\int\limits_\delta ^1 {\frac{{\bar \Omega (v)}}{{v^2 }}dv} \) можно заменить на \(\int\limits_{\bar \Omega (\delta )}^1 {\frac{{du}}{{\Omega (u)}}.} \) . Отсюда вытекает, что еслиΩ(u) — функция типа модуля непрерывности, то для того, чтобы (1) всегда влекло принадлежность f(x) классу Lip 1, необходимо и достаточно условие \(\int\limits_0^1 {\frac{{du}}{{\Omega (u)}}}< \infty .\)

Finite difference method of first boundary problem for quasilinear parabolic systems (IV)

More work is done to study the explicit, weak and strong implicit difference solution for the first boundary problem of quasilinear parabolic system: $$\begin{gathered} u_t = ( - 1)^{M + 1} A(x,t,u, \cdots ,u_x M - 1)u_x 2M + f(x,t,u, \cdots u_x 2M - 1), \hfill \\ (x,t) \in Q_T = \left| {0< x< l,0< t \leqslant T} \right|, \hfill \\ u_x ^k (0,t) = u_x ^k (l,t) = 0 (k = 0,1, \cdots ,M - 1),0< t \leqslant T, \hfill \\ u(x,0) = \varphi (x),0 \leqslant x \leqslant l, \hfill \\ \end{gathered} $$ whereu, ?, andf arem-dimensional vector valued functions, A is anm×m positively definite matrix, and $u_t = \frac{{\partial u}}{{\partial t}},u_x ^k = \frac{{\partial ^k u}}{{\partial x^k }}$ . For this problem, the convergence of iteration for the general difference schemes is proved.

Precise embedding conditions of classes H _{ψ, q} ^ω into Lorentz spaces and into each other are obtained: $$\begin{array}{*{20}c} {H_{\psi ,q_1 }^\omega \subset \Lambda _{\psi ,q_2 } ;} & {H_{\psi ,q_1 }^\omega \subset {\rm H}_{\psi ,q_2 }^{\omega * } ,} & {0< q_2< q_1< \infty ,} \\ \end{array} $$ under conditions \(\mathop {\lim }\limits_{t \to \infty } \frac{{\psi (2t)}}{{\psi (t)}} > 1,\mathop {\overline {\lim } }\limits_{x \to \infty } \frac{{\psi (2t)}}{{\psi (t)}}< 2\) andω(δ)=O{ω(δ ²)},δ→+0, andω ^* (δ) is an arbitrary modulus of continuity.     

On a nonlocal problem modelling Ohmic heating in planar domains

In this paper, we consider the nonlocal problem of the form ut-Δu = (λe-u)/(∫Ωe-udx)2,x ∈Ω, t0 and the associated nonlocal stationary problem -Δv = (λe-v)/(∫Ωe-vdx)2, x ∈Ω,where λ is a positive parameter. For Ω to be an annulus, we prove that the nonlocal stationary problemhas a unique solution if and only if λ 2| Ω| 2 , and for λ = 2|Ω|2, the solution of the nonlocal parabolic problem grows up globally to infinity as t →∞.
