Conservation laws for Camassa–Holm equation, Dullin–Gottwald–Holm equation and generalized Dullin–Gottwald–Holm equation

In this paper we construct the conservation laws for the Camassa–Holm equation, the Dullin–Gottwald–Holm equation (DGH) and the generalized Dullin–Gottwald–Holm equation (generalized DGH). The variational derivative approach is used to derive the conservation laws. Only first order multipliers are considered. Two multipliers are obtained for the Camassa–Holm equation. For the DGH and generalized DGH equations the variational derivative approach yields two multipliers; thus two conserved vectors are obtained.     

Generalized Weyl–Wigner–Moyal–Ville Formalism and Topological Groups

Discussed are some geometric aspects of the phase space formalism in quantum mechanics in the sense of Weyl, Wigner, Moyal, and Ville. We analyze the relationship between this formalism and geometry of the Galilei group, classical momentum mapping, theory of unitary projective representations of groups, and theory of groups algebras. Later on, we present some generalization to quantum mechanics on locally compact Abelian groups. It is based on Pontryagin duality. Indicated are certain physical aspects in quantum dynamics of crystal lattices, including the phenomenon of ‘Umklapp–Prozessen’. Copyright © 2011 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

Long-time behaviour for solutions of the Vlasov–Poisson–Fokker–Planck equation

We study the long-time behaviour of solutions of the Vlasov–Poisson–Fokker–Planck equation for initial data small enough and satisfying some suitable integrability conditions. Our analysis relies on the study of the linearized problems with bounded potentials decaying fast enough for large times. We obtain global bounds in time for the fundamental solutions of such problems and their derivatives. This allows to get sharp bounds for the decay of the difference between the solutions of the Vlasov–Poisson–Fokker–Planck equation and the solution of the free equation with the same initial data. Thanks to these bounds, we get an explicit form for the second term in the asymptotic expansion of the solutions for large times. © 1998 B. G. Teubner Stuttgart—John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

Variational formulations for Vlasov–Poisson–Fokker–Planck systems

Time‐discrete variational schemes are introduced for both the Vlasov–Poisson–Fokker–Planck (VPFP) system and a natural regularization of the VPFP system. The time step in these variational schemes is governed by a certain Kantorovich functional (or scaled Wasserstein metric). The discrete variational schemes may be regarded as discretized versions of a gradient flow, or steepest descent, of the underlying free energy functionals for these systems. For the regularized VPFP system, convergence of the variational scheme is rigorously established. Copyright © 2000 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

Hall–Littlewood functions and the Rogers–Ramanujan identities

We prove an identity for Hall–Littlewood symmetric functions labelled by the Lie algebra A₂. Through specialization this yields a simple proof of the A₂ Rogers–Ramanujan identities of Andrews, Schilling and the author.

Stability of the Crank–Nicolson–Adams–Bashforth scheme for the 2D Leray‐alpha model

We consider the stability of an efficient Crank–Nicolson–Adams–Bashforth method in time, finite element in space, discretization of the Leray‐α model. We prove finite‐time stability of the scheme in L², H¹, and H², as well as the long‐time L‐stability of the scheme under a Courant‐Freidrichs‐Lewy (CFL)‐type condition. Numerical experiments are given that are in agreement with the theoretical results. © 2015 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. Numer Methods Partial Differential Eq 32: 1155–1183, 2016     

The Bishop–Phelps–Bollobás theorem fails for bilinear forms on

In this paper we show that the Bishop–Phelps–Bollobás theorem fails for bilinear forms on l₁×l₁, while it holds for linear operators from l₁ to l_∞.     

A Palais–Smale approach to Lane–Emden equations

We consider the unbounded domain problems −Δu+u=|u|^p−2u in Ω, u>0 in Ω, and u=0 on ∂Ω, where Ω is an unbounded domain in , 2<p<2^*, for N>2, and 2^*=∞ for N=2. The existence of a ground state solution to the problems is greatly affected by the shape of the domain. To determine the existence of the solutions in a general domain remains a challenge task. For the flat interior flask domain that consists a strip and a ball attached to the bottom of the strip, previous results have asserted the existence of a ground state solution when the diameter of the ball is greater than a positive constant. However, the existence of the solutions when the diameter of the ball equals to the width of the strip is still an important open question. This article resolves the open question partially by considering a variation of the flat interior flask domain, which is formed by attaching a stretched ball to the bottom of the strip.     

Global weak solutions to the Cauchy problem of compressible Navier–Stokes–Vlasov–Fokker–Planck equations

A fluid–particles system of the compressible Navier‐Stokes equations and Vlasov‐Fokker‐Planck equation (including the case of Vlasov equation) in three‐dimensional space is considered in this paper. The coupling arises from a drag force exerted by the fluid onto the particles. We study a Cauchy problem with large data, and establish the existence of global weak solutions through an approximation scheme, energy estimates, and weak convergence.

A Navier–Stokes–Voight model with memory

In this article, we consider a three‐dimensional Navier–Stokes–Voight model with memory where relaxation effects are described through a distributed delay. We prove the existence of uniform global attractors , where ? ∈ (0,1) is the scaling parameter in the memory kernel. Furthermore, we prove that the model converges to the classical three‐dimensional Navier–Stokes–Voight system in an appropriate sense as ? → 0. In particular, we construct a family of exponential attractors Ξ_? that is robust as ? → 0. Copyright © 2013 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

Linearized quantum and relativistic Fokker–Planck–Landau equations

After a recent work on spectral properties and dispersion relations of the linearized classical Fokker–Planck–Landau operator [8], we establish in this paper analogous results for two more realistic collision operators: The first one is the Fokker–Planck–Landau collision operator obtained by relativistic calculations of binary interactions, and the second is a collision operator (of Fokker–Planck–Landau type) derived from the Boltzmann operator in which quantum effects have been taken into account. We apply Sobolev–Poincaré inequalities to establish the spectral gap of the linearized operators. Furthermore, the present study permits the precise knowledge of the behaviour of these linear Fokker–Planck–Landau operators including the transport part. Relations between the eigenvalues of these operators and the Fourier‐space variable in a neighbourhood of 0 are then investigated. This study is a first natural step when one looks for solutions near equilibrium and their hydrodynamic limit for the full non‐linear problem in all space in the spirit of several works [3, 6, 20, 2] on the non‐linear Boltzmann equation.

Convergence of a discrete Oort–Hulst–Safronov equation

A discrete version of the Oort–Hulst–Safronov (OHS) coagulation equation is studied. Besides the existence of a solution to the Cauchy problem, it is shown that solutions to a suitable sequence of those discrete equations converge towards a solution to the OHS equation.

Solitons and periodic solutions for the Rosenau–KdV and Rosenau–Kawahara equations

In this work we use the sine–cosine and the tanh methods for solving the Rosenau–KdV and Rosenau–Kawahara equations. The two methods reveal solitons and periodic solutions. The study confirms the power of the two schemes.     

Marcinkiewicz–Zygmund inequalities

We study a generalization of the classical Marcinkiewicz–Zygmund inequalities. We relate this problem to the sampling sequences in the Paley–Wiener space and by using this analogy we give sharp necessary and sufficient computable conditions for a family of points to satisfy the Marcinkiewicz–Zygmund inequalities.     

Solution of the Ulam stability problem for Euler–Lagrange–Jensen k‐quintic mappings

In this paper, we are introducing pertinent Euler–Lagrange–Jensen type k‐quintic functional equations and investigate the ‘Ulam stability’ of these new k‐quintic functional mappings f:X→Y, where X is a real normed linear space and Y a real complete normed linear space. We also solve the Ulam stability problem for Euler–Lagrange–Jensen alternative k‐quintic mappings. Copyright © 2016 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

Wave operator for the system of the Dirac–Klein–Gordon equations

We prove the existence of the wave operator for the system of the massive Dirac–Klein–Gordon equations in three space dimensions x∈ R ³ where the masses m, M>0. We prove that for the small final data , (?, ?)∈ H ^{2 + µ, 1} × H ^{1 + µ, 1}, with and , there exists a unique global solution for system (1) with the final state conditions Copyright © 2010 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

Two-level Galerkin–Lagrange multipliers method for the stationary Navier–Stokes equations

In this paper, we combine the Galerkin–Lagrange multiplier (GLM) method with the two-level method to solve the stationary Navier–Stokes equations in order to avoid the time-consuming process and the construction of zero-divergence elements. Different quadrilateral partitions are used for approximating the velocity and the pressure. Then some error estimates are obtained and some numerical results of the GLM method and the two-level GLM method are given. The results show that the two-level method based on the GLM method is more efficient than the GLM method under the convergence rate of same order.     

A class of impulsive nonautonomous differential equations and Ulam–Hyers–Rassias stability

In this paper, we study a model described by a class of impulsive nonautonomous differential equations. This new impulsive model is more suitable to show dynamics of evolution processes in pharmacotherapy than the classical one. We apply Krasnoselskii's fixed point theorem to obtain existence of solutions. Meanwhile, we mainly present the sufficient conditions on Ulam–Hyers–Rassias stability on both compact and unbounded intervals. Many analysis techniques are used to derive our results.

Asymptotic Gauss–Jacobi quadrature error estimation for Schwarz–Christoffel integrals

Numerical conformal mapping packages based on the Schwarz–Christoffel formula have been in existence for a number of years. Various authors, for good reasons of practical efficiency, have chosen to use composite n-point Gauss–Jacobi rules for the estimation of the Schwarz–Christoffel path integrals. These implementations rely on an ad hoc, but experimentally well-founded, heuristic for selecting the spacing of the integration end-points relative to the position of the nearby integrand singularities. In the present paper we derive an explicitly computable estimate, asymptotic as n→∞, for the relevant Gauss–Jacobi quadrature error. A numerical example illustrates the potential accuracy of the estimate even at low values of n. It is apparent that the error estimate will allow the adaptive construction of composite rules in a manner that is more efficient than has been possible hitherto.
