Matrix Finite-Zone Dirac-Type Equations

Weyl-Titchmarsh matrix functions play an essential role in the spectral theory of Dirac-type equations (Oper. Theory: Adv. Appl.107 (1999)). In this paper, we have constructed a class of Weyl-Titchmarsh matrix-functions generating potentials of finite-zone type. It has turned out that the corresponding potentials have derivatives of an arbitrary order. Using the above-mentioned results, we deduce the matrix analogue of the trace formula for finite-zone matrix potentials. In the last part of the paper, we consider separately the scalar case of Dirac-type equations. For this case, we have constructed finite-zone potentials in explicit forms and proved that these potentials are quasiperiodical. We note that for scalar Schrödinger equations the corresponding results are well known (see Invent. Math.30 (1975), 217-274; “Soliton and the Inverse Scattering Transform,” SIAM, Philadelphia, 1981; Rev. Sci. Technol.23 (1983), 20-50; “Theory of Solitons, The Method of Inverse Problem,” New York, 1984; “Inverse Sturm-Liouville Problems,” VSP, Zeist, 1987; “Inverse Spectral Theory,” Academic Press, New York, 1987).

Exponentially closed fields and the conjecture on intersections with tori

We give an axiomatization of the class ECF of exponentially closed fields, which includes the pseudo-exponential fields previously introduced by the second author, and show that it is superstable over its interpretation of arithmetic. Furthermore, ECF is exactly the elementary class of the pseudo-exponential fields if and only if the Diophantine conjecture CIT on atypical intersections of tori with subvarieties is true.     

Power series solutions to Volterra integral equations

Power series type solutions are given for a wide class of linear and q-dimensional nonlinear Volterra equations on R^p. The basic assumption on the kernel K(x, y) is that K(x, xt) has a power series in x. For example, this holds for any analytic kernel.The kernel may be strongly singular, provided certain constants are finite. One and only one such power series solution exists. Its coefficients are given by a simple iterative formula. In many cases this may be solved explicitly. In particular an explicit formula for the resolvent is given.     

Holomorphic solutions to functional differential equations

The pantograph equation is perhaps one of the most heavily studied class of functional differential equations owing to its numerous applications in mathematical physics, biology, and problems arising in industry. This equation is characterized by a linear functional argument. Heard (1973) [10] considered a generalization of this equation that included a nonlinear functional argument. His work focussed on the asymptotic behaviour of solutions for a real variable x as x→∞. In this paper, we revisit Heard's equation, but study it in the complex plane. Using results from complex dynamics we show that any nonconstant solution that is holomorphic at the origin must have the unit circle as a natural boundary. We consider solutions that are holomorphic on the Julia set of the nonlinear argument. We show that the solutions are either constant or have a singularity at the origin. There is a special case of Heard's equation that includes only the derivative and the functional term. For this case we construct solutions to the equation and illustrate the general results using classical complex analysis.     

一阶迭代泛函微分方程的局部可逆解析解

本文研究迭代泛函微分方程x′(z)=1/(x(az+b/(x′(z)))),z∈C的解析解,其中a,b均为复常数.首先利用Schr(o|¨)der变换,把迭代泛函微分方程转化为不含迭代的泛函微分方程.针对Schr(o|¨)der变换中的常数α在单位圆上,不是单位根但满足Brjuno条件;α不但在单位圆上,而且是单位根;α在单位圆内三种情况,讨论了辅助方程的解析解.在此基础上,我们证明原方程局部可逆解析解存在,并且计算出解析解表达式.最后举例说明定理的应用.     

一类多项式型迭代函数方程在共振点附近的解析解

In this paper existence of local analytic solutions of a polynomial-like iterative functional equation is studied. As well as in previous work, we reduce this problem with the SchrSder transformation to finding analytic solutions of a functional equation without iteration of the unknown function f. For technical reasons, in previous work the constant α given in the Schroder transformation, i.e., the eigenvalue of the linearized f at its fixed point O, is required to fulfill that α is off the unit circle S^1 or lies on the circle with the Diophantine condition. In this paper, we obtain results of analytic solutions in the case of α at resonance, i.e., at a root of the unity and the case of α near resonance under the Brjuno condition.     

Exact and explicit solutions for a nonlinear extended iterative differential equation

This paper is concerned with a nonlinear iterative functional differential equation x′(z) = 1/x(p(z) + bx′(z)). By constructing a convergent power series solution of an auxiliary equation, analytic solutions of the original equation are obtained. We discuss not only in the general case, but also in critical cases, especially for α given in Schröder transformation is a root of the unity. And in case (H4), we dealt with the equation under the Brjuno condition, which is weaker than the Diophantine condition. Moreover, the exact and explicit solution of the original equation has been investigated for the first time. Such equations are important in both applications and the theory of iterations.     

Local analytic solutions of a functional differential equation

In this paper, we are concerned with the existence of analytic solution of a functional differential equation αz+βx^′(z)=x(az+bx^″(z)), where are four complex numbers. We first discuss the existence of analytic solutions for some special cases of the above equation. Then, by reducing the equation with the Schröder transformation to the another functional equation with proportional delay, an existence theorem is established for analytic solutions of the original equation. For the constant λ given in the Schröder transformation, we discuss the case 0<|λ|<1 and λ on the unit circle S¹, i.e., |λ|=1. We study λ is at resonance, i.e., at a root of the unity and λ is near resonance under the Brjuno condition.     

Some explicit solutions of the additive Deligne-Simpson problem and their applications

In this paper we construct three infinite series and two extra triples (E₈ and ) of complex matrices B, C, and A=B+C of special spectral types associated to Simpson's classification in Amer. Math. Soc. Proc. 1 (1992) 157 and Magyar et al. classification in Adv. Math. 141 (1999) 97. This enables us to construct Fuchsian systems of differential equations which generalize the hypergeometric equation of Gauss-Riemann. In a sense, they are the closest relatives of the famous equation, because their triples of spectral flags have finitely many orbits for the diagonal action of the general linear group in the space of solutions. In all the cases except for E₈, we also explicitly construct scalar products such that A, B, and C are self-adjoint with respect to them. In the context of Fuchsian systems, these scalar products become monodromy invariant complex symmetric bilinear forms in the spaces of solutions.When the eigenvalues of A, B, and C are real, the matrices and the scalar products become real as well. We find inequalities on the eigenvalues of A, B, and C which make the scalar products positive-definite.As proved by Klyachko, spectra of three hermitian (or real symmetric) matrices B, C, and A=B+C form a polyhedral convex cone in the space of triple spectra. He also gave a recursive algorithm to generate inequalities describing the cone. The inequalities we obtain describe non-recursively some faces of the Klyachko cone.     

Analytic solutions of a nonlinear iterative equation near neutral fixed points and poles

In this paper existence of analytic solutions of a nonlinear iterative equations is studied when given functions are all analytic and when given functions have poles. As well as in many previous works, we reduce this problem to finding analytic solutions of a functional equation without iteration of the unknown function f. For technical reasons, in previous works an indeterminate constant related to the eigenvalue of the linearized f at its fixed point O is required to fulfill the Diophantine condition that O is an irrationally neutral fixed point of f. In this paper the case of rationally neutral fixed points is also discussed, where the Diophantine condition is not required.     

Exact analytic solutions of Schrödinger linear and nonlinear equations

Exact analytic solutions of Schrödinger linear partial differential equations are obtained. Moreover, the cubic nonlinear Schrödinger equation is treated with the use of a well-known functional analytic method and the existence of convergent power series solutions is proved. From these solutions, under certain initial conditions, similar results as those presented in the literature are obtained.     

Briot-Bouquet differential superordinations and sandwich theorems

Briot-Bouquet differential subordinations play a prominent role in the theory of differential subordinations. In this article we consider the dual problem of Briot-Bouquet differential superordinations. Let β and γ be complex numbers, and let Ω be any set in the complex plane C. The function p analytic in the unit disk U is said to be a solution of the Briot-Bouquet differential superordination if

     

The main invariants of a complex finsler space

In this paper we extend the results obtained in [3], where are investigated the general settings of the two-dimensional complex Finsler manifolds, with respect to a local complex Berwald frame. The geometry of such manifolds is controlled by three real invariants which live on T'M: two horizontal curvature invariants K and W and one vertical curvature invariant I. By means of these invariants are defined both the horizontal and the vertical holomorphic sectional curvatures. The complex Landsberg and Berwald spaces are of particular interest. Complex Berwald spaces coincide with Kähler spaces, in the two – dimensional case. We establish the necessary and sufficient condition under which K is a constant and we obtain a characterization for the Kähler purely Hermitian spaces by the fact K = W = constant and I = 0. For the class of complex Berwald spaces we have K = W = 0. Finally, a classification of two-dimensional complex Finsler spaces for which the horizontal curvature satisfies a special property is obtained.     

Energy dissipation for weak solutions of incompressible MHD equations

In this article, we mainly study the local equation of energy for weak solutions of 3D MHD equations. We define a dissipation term D(u, B) that stems from an eventual lack of smoothness in the solution, and then obtain a local equation of energy for weak solutions of 3D MHD equations. Finally, we consider the 2D case at the end of this article.     

Continuous Dependence Estimates for Viscosity Solutions of Fully Nonlinear Degenerate Parabolic Equations

Using the maximum principle for semicontinuous functions (Differential Integral Equations3 (1990), 1001-1014; Bull. Amer. Math. Soc. (N.S)27 (1992), 1-67), we establish a general “continuous dependence on the non- linearities” estimate for viscosity solutions of fully nonlinear degenerate parabolic equations with time- and space-dependent nonlinearities. Our result generalizes a result by Souganidis (J. Differential Equations56 (1985), 345-390) for first- order Hamilton-Jacobi equations and a recent result by Cockburn et al. (J. Differential Equations170 (2001), 180-187) for a class of degenerate parabolic second-order equations. We apply this result to a rather general class of equations and obtain: (i) Explicit continuous dependence estimates. (ii) L^∞ and Hölder regularity estimates. (iii) A rate of convergence for the vanishing viscosity method. Finally, we illustrate results (i)-(iii) on the Hamilton-Jacobi- Bellman partial differential equation associated with optimal control of a degenerate diffusion process over a finite horizon. For this equation such results are usually derived via probabilistic arguments, which we avoid entirely here.     

Cauchy Problem for Evolution Equations of Schrödinger Type

In (R. Agliardi, 1995, Internat. J. Math.6, 791-804) we proved the well-posedness of the Cauchy problem in H^∞ for some p-evolution equations (p?1) with real characteristic roots. For this purpose some assumptions on the lower order terms are needed, which, in the special case p=1, recapture well-known results for hyperbolic operators. In (R. Agliardi, 1995, Internat. J. Math.6, 791-804) the leading coefficients are assumed to be constant. In this paper we allow them to be variable. Our result is applicable to 2-evolution differential operators with real characteristics, i.e., to Schrödinger type operators. This class of operators comprehends, for example, Schrödinger operator D_t−Δ_x or the plate operator D²_t−Δ²_x. The Cauchy problem in H^∞ for such evolution operators has been studied extensively by Takeuchi when the coefficients in the principal part are constant and the characteristic roots are distinct.     

ANALYTIC INVARIANT CURVES OF A NONLINEAR SECOND ORDER DIFFERENCE EQUATION

This article studies the existence of analytic invariant curves for a nonlinear second order difference equation which was modeled from macroeconomics of the business cycle. The author not only discusses the case of the eigenvalue off the unit circle S^1 and the case on S^1 with the Diophantine condition but also considers the case of the eigenvalue at a root of the unity, which obviously violates the Diophantine condition.     

Blowup in the Nonlinear Schrödinger Equation Near Critical Dimension

This article contains an analysis of the cubic nonlinear Schrödinger equation and solutions that become singular in finite time. Numerical simulations show that in three dimensions the blowup is self-similar and symmetric. In two dimensions, the blowup still appears to be symmetric but is no longer self-similar. In the case that the dimension, d, is greater than and exponentially close to 2 in terms of a small parameter associated to the norm of the blow-up solution, a locally unique, monotonically decreasing in modulus, self-similar solution that satisfies the boundary and global conditions associated with the blow-up solution is constructed in Kopell and Landman [1995, SIAM J. Appl., Math.55, 1297-1323]. In this article, it is shown that this locally unique solution also exists for d > 2 and algebraically close to 2 in the same small parameter. The central idea of the proof involves constructing a pair of manifolds of solutions (to the nonautonomous ordinary differential equation satisfied by the self-similar solutions) that satisfy the conditions at r = 0 and the asymptotic conditions respectively and then showing that these intersect transversally. A key step involves tracking one of the manifolds over a midrange in which the ordinary differential equation has a turning point and hence obtaining good control over the solutions on the manifold.
