The uniqueness of known dirac atomic eigenfunctions

This note observes from Rejtö’s reducing subspace results that eigenfunctions of the Dirac atomic Hamiltonian do have the angular dependence form usually considered, and consequently proves the common conjecture that only the well known eigenfunctions and eigenvalues actually arise for this Hamiltonian.     

Necessary condition for eigensolutions of the 1-Laplace operator by means of inner variations

Eigenfunctions of the $p$ -Laplace operator for $p>1$ are defined to be critical points of an associated variational problem or, equivalently, to be solutions of the corresponding Euler–Lagrange equation. In the highly degenerated limit case of the 1-Laplace operator eigenfunctions can also be defined to be critical points of the corresponding variational problem if critical points are understood on the basis of the weak slope. However, the associated Euler–Lagrange equation has many solutions that are not critical points and, thus, it cannot be used for an equivalent definition. The present paper provides a new necessary condition for eigenfunctions of the 1-Laplace operator by means of inner variations of the associated variational problem and it is shown that this condition rules out certain solutions of the Euler–Lagrange equation that are not eigenfunctions.     

Angle orders and zeros

An angle order is a partially ordered set whose points can be mapped into unbounded angular regions in the plane such that x is less than y in the partial order if and only if x's angular region is properly included in y's. The zero augmentation of a partially ordered set adds one point to the set that is less than all original points. We prove that there are finite angle orders whose augmentations are not angle orders. The proof makes extensive use of Ramsey theory.     

On the Structure of asymptotics of the solution of a second-order elliptic equation in a neighborhood of an angular point

The behavior of solutions of elliptic equations in neighborhoods of angular and conical boundary points has been well studied; the asymptotics of these solutions has been constructed. In the present paper, we propose a new approach to constructing asymptotic decompositions in a neighborhood of an angular boundary point, which allows us to describe the structure of these asymptotics in a relatively simple and illustrative way.     

Initial Algebraic Growth of Small Angular Dependent Disturbances in Pipe Poiseuille Flow

The evolution of small, angular dependent velocity disturbances in laminar pipe flow is studied. In particular, streamwise independent perturbations are considered. To fully describe the flow field, two equations are required, one for the radial and the other for the streamwise velocity perturbation. Whereas the former is homogeneous, the latter has the radial velocity component as a forcing term. First, the normal modes of the system are determined and analytical solutions for eigenfunctions, damping rates, and phase velocities are calculated. As the azimuthal wave number (n) increases, the damping rate increases and the phase velocities decrease. Particularly interesting are results showing that the phase velocities associated with the streamwise eigenfunctions are independent of the radial mode index when n = 1, and when n = 5 the same is obtained for phase velocities associated with the eigenfunctions of the radial component. Then, the initial value problem is treated and the time development of the disturbances is determined. The radial and the azimuthal velocity components always decay but, owing to the forcing, the streamwise component shows an initial algebraic growth, followed by a decay. The kinetic energy density is used to characterize the induced streamwise disturbance. Its dependence on the Reynolds number, the radial mode, and the azimuthal wave number is investigated. With a normalized initial disturbance, n = 1 gives the largest amplification, followed by n = 2 etc. However, for small times, higher values of n are associated with the largest energy density. As n increases, the distribution of the streamwise velocity perturbation becomes more concentrated to the region near the pipe wall.     

Concentration of symmetric eigenfunctions

In this article we examine the concentration and oscillation effects developed by high-frequency eigenfunctions of the Laplace operator in a compact Riemannian manifold. More precisely, we are interested in the structure of the possible invariant semiclassical measures obtained as limits of Wigner measures corresponding to eigenfunctions. These measures describe simultaneously the concentration and oscillation effects developed by a sequence of eigenfunctions. We present some results showing how to obtain invariant semiclassical measures from eigenfunctions with prescribed symmetries. As an application of these results, we give a simple proof of the fact that in a manifold of constant positive sectional curvature, every measure which is invariant by the geodesic flow is an invariant semiclassical measure.     

Generalized solutions and generalized eigenfunctions of boundary-value problems on a geometric graph

We consider generalized solutions to boundary-value problems for elliptic equations on an arbitrary geometric graph and their corresponding eigenfunctions. We construct analogs of Sobolev spaces that are dense in L ₂. We obtain conditions for the Fredholm solvability of boundary-value problems of various types, describe their spectral properties and conditions for the expansion in generalized eigenfunctions. The results presented here are fundamental in studying boundary control problems of oscillations of multiplex jointed structures consisting of strings or rods, as well as in studying the cell metabolism.     

Open waveguides in a thin Dirichlet ladder: I. Asymptotic structure of the spectrum

The spectra of open angular waveguides obtained by thickening or thinning the links of a thin square lattice of quantum waveguides (the Dirichlet problem for the Helmholtz equation) are investigated. Asymptotics of spectral bands and spectral gaps (i.e., zones of wave transmission and wave stopping, respectively) for waveguides with variously shaped periodicity cells are found. It is shown that there exist eigenfunctions of two types: localized around nodes of a waveguide and on its links. Points of the discrete spectrum of a perturbed lattice with eigenfunctions concentrated about corners of the waveguide are found.     

On the nodal sets of toral eigenfunctions

We study the nodal sets of eigenfunctions of the Laplacian on the standard d-dimensional flat torus. The question we address is: Can a fixed hypersurface lie on the nodal sets of eigenfunctions with arbitrarily large eigenvalue? In dimension two, we show that this happens only for segments of closed geodesics. In higher dimensions, certain cylindrical sets do lie on nodal sets corresponding to arbitrarily large eigenvalues. Our main result is that this cannot happen for hypersurfaces with nonzero Gauss-Kronecker curvature. In dimension two, the result follows from a uniform lower bound for the L ²-norm of the restriction of eigenfunctions to the curve, proved in an earlier paper (Bourgain and Rudnick in C. R. Math. 347(21?C22):1249?C1253, 2009). In high dimensions we currently do not have this bound. Instead, we make use of the real-analytic nature of the flat torus to study variations on this bound for restrictions of eigenfunctions to suitable submanifolds in the complex domain. In all of our results, we need an arithmetic ingredient concerning the cluster structure of lattice points on the sphere. We also present an independent proof for the two-dimensional case relying on the ??abc-theorem?? in function fields.     

Singular Perturbations of Elliptic Problems on Domains with Small Holes

Singular perturbation techniques are used to study the solutions of nonlinear second order elliptic boundary value problems defined on arbitrary plane domains from which a finite number of small holes of radius ρ_i(ε) have been removed, in the limit ε → 0. Asymptotic outer and inner expansions are constructed to describe the behavior of solutions at simple bifurcation and limit points. Since bifurcation usually occurs a eigenvalues of a linearized problem, we study in detail the dependence of the eigenvalues and eigenfunctions on ε, for ε → 0. These results are applied to the vibration of a rectangular membrane with one or two circular holes. The asymptotic analysis predicts a remarkably large sensitivity of eigenvalues and limit points to the ε-domain perturbation considered in this paper.     

Non-Universality of Nodal Length Distribution for Arithmetic Random Waves

“Arithmetic random waves” are the Gaussian Laplace eigenfunctions on the two-dimensional torus (Rudnick and Wigman in Annales de l’Insitute Henri Poincaré 9(1):109–130, 2008; Krishnapur et al. in Annals of Mathematics (2) 177(2):699–737, 2013). In this paper we find that their nodal length converges to a non-universal (non-Gaussian) limiting distribution, depending on the angular distribution of lattice points lying on circles. Our argument has two main ingredients. An explicit derivation of the Wiener–Itô chaos expansion for the nodal length shows that it is dominated by its 4th order chaos component (in particular, somewhat surprisingly, the second order chaos component vanishes). The rest of the argument relies on the precise analysis of the fourth order chaotic component.     

On topological properties of manifolds of eigenfunctions generated by a family of periodic Sturm-Liouville problems

In the paper, we study manifolds of eigenfunctions of a fixed oscillation. Then, solving the trivial inverse problem of reconstruction of a potential by an eigenfunction, we describe the properties of manifolds of potentials. The approach proposed allows one to link topological properties of manifolds of eigenfunctions with those of manifolds of potentials. __________ Translated from Sovremennaya Matematika.

Embeddings of Riemannian Manifolds with Heat Kernels and Eigenfunctions

We show that any closed n‐dimensional Riemannian manifold can be embedded by a map constructed from heat kernels at a certain time from a finite number of points. Both this time and this number can be bounded in terms of the dimension, a lower bound on the Ricci curvature, the injectivity radius, and the volume. It follows that the manifold can be embedded by a finite number of eigenfunctions of the Laplace operator. Again, this number only depends on the geometric bounds and the dimension. In addition, both maps can be made arbitrarily close to an isometry. In the appendix, we derive quantitative estimates of the harmonic radius, so that the estimates on the number of eigenfunctions or heat kernels needed can be made quantitative as well. © 2016 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.     

Integral relations for heun-class special functions

New integral relations are obtained for eigenfunctions produced by Heun-class equations. These relations demonstrate the duality property of the eigenfunctions with different behaviors at singularities, the eigenfunctions being defined at different intervals. The obtained relations form two hierarchies, such that in each of them, the equations are produced one from another by a confluence of singular points.Translated from Teoreticheskaya i Matematicheskaya Fizika, Vol. 107, No. 3, pp. 388–396, June, 1996.     

The projective–iterative method and neural network estimation for buckling of elastic plates in nonlinear theory

The paper deals with a nonlinear buckling problem for von Karman elastic plates in bending. The simply supported and partially clamped plates are considered. A variational-projective approach with an iterative scheme is suggested for the calculation of eigenfunctions and the buckling loads for the studied problem. The convergence of the projective–iterative method is investigated. The bifurcation scenario is demonstrated by examples. Numerical results show the effectiveness of the proposed method. Prediction of the eigenvalues (which are the bifurcation points of the nonlinear problem) of the linearized problem with different sizes of the plate can also be done by an approximately trained neural network, as it is briefly demonstrated in this work.

Nodal lines of eigenfunctions of the fixed membrane problem in general convex domains

We describe the boundary behavior of the nodal lines of eigenfunctions of the fixed membrane problem in convex, possibly nonsmooth, domains. This result is applied to the proof of Payne’s conjecture on the nodal line of second eigenfunctions [P1], by removing theC ^∞ smoothness assumption which is present in the original proof of Melas [M].     

Essential spectrum of a model operator associated with a three-particle system on a lattice

We consider a model operator H associated with the system of three particles interacting via nonlocal pair potentials on a ν-dimensional lattice. We identify channel operators and use their spectra to describe the position and structure of the essential spectrum of H. We obtain an analogue of the Faddeev equation for the eigenfunctions of H.
