A proof of the Tn conjecture: Centralizers,Jacobians and spectrally arbitrary sign patterns

We prove the so-called $T_n$ conjecture: for every real-monic polynomial $p(x)$ of degree $n?2$ there exists an n by n matrix with sign pattern$T_n=\left[\begin{array}{ccccc}\hfill -\hfill & \hfill +\hfill & \hfill 0\hfill & \hfill ?\hfill & \hfill 0\hfill \\ \hfill -\hfill & \hfill 0\hfill & \hfill ?\hfill & \hfill \hfill & \hfill ?\hfill \\ \hfill 0\hfill & \hfill ?\hfill & \hfill ?\hfill & \hfill ?\hfill & \hfill 0\hfill \\ \hfill ?\hfill & \hfill \hfill & \hfill ?\hfill & \hfill 0\hfill & \hfill +\hfill \\ \hfill 0\hfill & \hfill ?\hfill & \hfill 0\hfill & \hfill -\hfill & \hfill +\hfill \end{array}\right]\text{,}$whose characteristic polynomial is $p(x)$. The proof converts the problem of determining the nonsingularity of a certain Jacobi matrix to the problem of proving the non-existence of a nonzero matrix B that commutes with a nilpotent matrix with sign pattern $T_n$ and has zeros in positions $(1\text{,}1)$, and $(j+1\text{,}j)$ for $j=2\text{,}\dots \text{,}n-1$.     

Equiconvergence of spectral decompositions of 1D Dirac operators with regular boundary conditions

One dimensional Dirac operators $L_{bc}\left(v\right)y=i\left(\begin{array}{cc}\hfill 1\hfill & \hfill 0\hfill \\ \hfill 0\hfill & \hfill ?1\hfill \end{array}\right)\frac{dy}{dx}+v\left(x\right)y\text{,}y=\left(\begin{array}{c}\hfill y_1\hfill \\ \hfill y_2\hfill \end{array}\right)\text{,}x\in [0,\pi ]\text{,}$ considered with $L^2$-potentials $v\left(x\right)=\left(\begin{array}{cc}\hfill 0\hfill & \hfill P\left(x\right)\hfill \\ \hfill Q\left(x\right)\hfill & \hfill 0\hfill \end{array}\right)$ and subject to regular boundary conditions ($bc$), have discrete spectrum. For strictly regular $bc$, the spectrum of the free operator $L_{bc}\left(0\right)$ is simple while the spectrum of $L_{bc}\left(v\right)$ is eventually simple, and the corresponding normalized root function systems are Riesz bases. For expansions of functions of bounded variation about these Riesz bases, we prove the uniform equiconvergence property and point-wise convergence on the closed interval $[0,\pi ]$. Analogous results are obtained for regular but not strictly regular $bc$.     

Multiplicity of solutions of weighted (p,q)-Laplacian with small source

In this article, we study the existence of infinitely many solutions to the degenerate quasilinear elliptic system-div(h_1(x)|▽u|~(p-2)▽u)=d(x)|u|~(r-2)u+G_u(x,u,v) in Ω,-div(h_2(x)|▽u|~(p-2)▽v)=f(x)|v|~(s-2)v + G_u(x,u,v) in Ω,u=v=0 on ■Ω where Ω is a bonded domain in R~N with smooth boundary ■Ω,N≥2,1 r p ∞,1 s q ∞; h_1(x) and h_2(x) are allowed to have "essential" zeroes at some points inΩ; d(x)|u|~(r-2)u and f(x)|v|~(s-2)v are small sources with Gu(x,u,v), Gv(x,u,v) being their high-order perturbations with respect to(u,v) near the origin, respectively.     

Blow-up for coupled nonlinear wave equations with damping and source

We consider the system of nonlinear wave equations $\{\begin{array}{cc}{u}_{tt}+u_t+{\left|u_t\right|}^{m?1}{u}_t=\mathrm{div}\left({\rho }_1\left({\left|?u\right|}^2\right)?u\right)+f_1(u,v)\text{,}\hfill & (x,t)\in \Omega \times (0,T)\text{,}\hfill \\ v_{tt}+v_t+{\left|v_t\right|}^{r?1}{v}_t=\mathrm{div}\left({\rho }_2\left({\left|?v\right|}^2\right)?v\right)+f_2(u,v)\text{,}\hfill & (x,t)\in \Omega \times (0,T)\text{,}\hfill \end{array}$ with initial and Dirichlet boundary conditions. Under some suitable assumptions on the functions$f_1$, $f_2$, ${\rho }_1$, ${\rho }_2$, parameters $r,m$ and the initial data, the result on blow-up of solutions and upper bound of blow-up time are given.     

ASYMPTOTIC STABILITY OF RAREFACTION WAVE FOR GENERALIZED BURGERS EQUATION

This paper is concerned with the stability of the rarefaction wave for the Burgers equationwhere 0 ≤ a < 1/4p (q is determined by (2.2)). Roughly speaking, under the assumption that u_ < u , the authors prove the existence of the global smooth solution to the Cauchy problem (I), also find the solution u(x, t) to the Cauchy problem (I) satisfying sup |u(x, t) -uR(x/t)| → 0 as t → ∞, where uR(x/t) is the rarefaction wave of the non-viscous Burgersequation ut f(u)x = 0 with Riemann initial data u(x, 0) =
