Type II hidden symmetries through weak symmetries for some wave equations

The Type II hidden symmetries are extra symmetries in addition to the inherited symmetries of the differential equations when the number of independent and dependent variables is reduced by a Lie-point symmetry. In [Gandarias RML. Type-II hidden symmetries through weak symmetries for nonlinear partial differential equations. J Math Anal Appl 2008;348:752–9] it was shown that the provenance of the Type II Lie point hidden symmetries found for differential equations can be explained by considering weak symmetries or conditional symmetries of the original PDE.In this paper we analyze the connection between one of the methods analyzed in [Abraham-Shrauner B, Govinder KS. Provenance of Type II hidden symmetries from nonlinear partial differential equations. J Nonlin Math Phys 2006;13:612–22] and the weak symmetries of some partial differential equations in order to determine the source of these hidden symmetries. We have considered some of the models presented in [Abraham-Shrauner B, Govinder KS. Provenance of Type II hidden symmetries from nonlinear partial differential equations. J Nonlin Math Phys 2006;13:612–22], as well as the linear two-dimensional and three-dimensional wave equations [Abraham-Shrauner B, Govinder KS, Arrigo JA. Type II hidden symmetries of the linear 2D and 3D wave equations. J h Phys A Math Theor 2006;39:5739–47].     

Quantum stochastic calculus

An introduction to quantum stochastic calculus in symmetric Fock spaces from the point of view of the theory of stochastic processes. Among the topics discussed are the quantum Itô formula, applications to probability representation of solutions of differential equations, extensions of dynamical semigroups. New algebraic expressions are given for the chronologically ordered exponential functions generated by stochastic semigroups in classical probability theory.Translated from Itogi Nauki i Tekhniki, Seriya Sovremennye Problemy Matematiki, Noveishie Dostizheniya, Vol. 36, pp. 3–28, 1990.     

Exact solutions of multi-component nonlinear Schrödinger and Klein–Gordon equations

Applying the sec_q−tanh_q-method [Phys. Lett. A 298 (2002) 253], we find a class of exact solution of multi-component nonlinear Schrödinger and Klein–Gordon equations and generalize the correspond results in [Phys. Lett. A 298 (2002) 253] and [J. Phys. A: Math. Gen. 34 (2001) 4281].     

A bound for orders in differential Nullstellensatz

We give the first known bound for orders of differentiations in differential Nullstellensatz for both partial and ordinary algebraic differential equations. This problem was previously addressed in [A. Seidenberg, An elimination theory for differential algebra, Univ. of California Publ. in Math. III (2) (1956) 31–66] but no complete solution was given. Our result is a complement to the corresponding result in algebraic geometry, which gives a bound on degrees of polynomial coefficients in effective Nullstellensatz [G. Hermann, Die Frage der endlich vielen Schritte in der Theorie der Polynomideale, Math. Ann. 95 (1) (1926) 736–788; E.W. Mayr, A.W. Meyer, The complexity of the word problems for commutative semigroups and polynomial ideals, Adv. Math. 46 (3) (1982) 305–329; W.D. Brownawell, Bounds for the degrees in the Nullstellensatz, Ann. of Math. 126 (3) (1987) 577–591; J. Kollár, Sharp effective Nullstellensatz, J. Amer. Math. Soc. 1 (4) (1988) 963–975; L. Caniglia, A.

Quantum -modules and generalized mirror transformations

In the previous paper [Hiroshi Iritani, Quantum D-modules and equivariant Floer theory for free loop spaces, Math. Z. 252 (3) (2006) 577–622], the author defined equivariant Floer cohomology for a complete intersection in a toric variety and showed that it is isomorphic to the small quantum D-module after a mirror transformation when the first Chern class c₁(M) of the tangent bundle is nef. In this paper, even when c₁(M) is not nef, we show that the equivariant Floer cohomology reconstructs the big quantum D-module under certain conditions on the ambient toric variety. The proof is based on a mirror theorem of Coates and Givental [T. Coates, A.B. Givental, Quantum Riemann — Roch, Lefschetz and Serre, Ann. of Math. (2) 165 (1) (2007) 15–53]. The reconstruction procedure here gives a generalized mirror transformation first observed by Jinzenji in low degrees [Masao Jinzenji, On the quantum cohomology rings of general type projective hypersurfaces and generalized mirror transformation, Internat. J. Modern Phys. A 15 (11) (2000) 1557–1595; Masao Jinzenji, Co-ordinate change of Gauss–Manin system and generalized mirror transformation, Internat. J. Modern Phys. A 20 (10) (2005) 2131–2156].     

Generalized solutions of a nonlinear parabolic equation with generalized functions as initial data

In [H. Brézis, A. Friedman, Nonlinear parabolic equations involving measures as initial conditions, J. Math. Pure Appl. (9) (1983) 73–97.] Brézis and Friedman prove that certain nonlinear parabolic equations, with the δ-measure as initial data, have no solution. However in [J.F. Colombeau, M. Langlais, Generalized solutions of nonlinear parabolic equations with distributions as initial conditions, J. Math. Anal. Appl (1990) 186–196.] Colombeau and Langlais prove that these equations have a unique solution even if the δ-measure is substituted by any Colombeau generalized function of compact support. Here we generalize Colombeau and Langlais’ result proving that we may take any generalized function as the initial data. Our approach relies on recent algebraic and topological developments of the theory of Colombeau generalized functions and results from [J. Aragona, Colombeau generalized functions on quasi-regular sets, Publ. Math. Debrecen (2006) 371–399.].     

Global stability of a rational symmetric difference equation

Motivated by ideas from papers: C. Cinar, I. Yalçinkaya, S. Stević, A note on global asymptotic stability of a family of rational equations, Rostock. Math. Kolloq. 59 (2004), 41–49, and S. Stević, Global stability and asymptotics of some classes of rational difference equations, J. Math. Anal. Appl. 316 (2006), 60–68, here we confirm a conjecture on a rational symmetric difference equation from the paper: K. Berenhaut, J. Foley, S. Stević, The global attractivity of the rational difference equation , Appl. Math. Lett. 20 (2007), 54–58.     

Strict convexity of sequence Orlicz-Musielak spaces with Orlicz norm

H. Milnes gave in (Pacific J. Math. 18 (1957), 1451–1483) a criterion for strict convexity of Orlicz spaces with respect to the so called Orlicz norm, in the case of nonatomic measure and a usual Young function. Here there are presented necessary and sufficient conditions for strict convexity of Orlicz-Musielak spaces (J. Musielak and W. Orlicz, Studia Math. 18 (1957), 49–65) with Orlicz norm in the case of purely atomic measure. For sequence Orlicz-Musielak spaces with Luxemburg norm, such a criterion is given in (A. Kami ska, Bull. Acad. Polon. Sci. Sér. Sci. Math. Astronom. Phys. 29 (1981), 137–144).     

Soliton solutions of the Hamiltonian DSI and DSIII equations

By introducing generalized Bäcklund Transformations depending on arbitrary functions, wave and localized soliton solutions of the Davey-Stewartson equations are generated. Moreover explicit soliton solutions of the Hamiltonian DSI and DSIII equations are obtained.Note: This article first appeared in Theor. Math. Phys., Vol. 99, pp. 755–760, 1994.

Structure of the set of stationary solutions of phase-lock equations in superconductivity

In previous article [M. Zhan, Phase-lock equations and its connections to Ginzburg–Landau equations of superconductivity, J. Nonlinear Anal. 42 (2000) 1063–1075], we introduced a system of equations (phase-lock equations) to model the superconductivity phenomena. We investigated its connection to Ginzburg–Landau equations and proved the existence and uniqueness of both weak and strong solutions. In this article, we study the steady-state problem associated with the phase-lock equations. We prove that the steady-state problem has multiple solutions and show that the solution set enjoys some structural properties as proved by Foias and Teman for the Navier–Stokes equations in [C. Foias, R. Teman, Structure of the set of stationary solutions of the Navier–Stokes equations, Commun. Pure Appl. Math. XXX (1977) 149–164].     

Stratified semigroups

Stratified semigroups include free semigroups, finite nilsemigroups, and homogeneous semigroups (=with homogeneous presentations). Basic properties of this class of semigroups are given, including the role that certain combinatorial structures (homogeneous equivalence relations) play in their construction. After this article was typeset the author discovered that stratified semigroups were also considered by Sasaki and Tamura (Proc. Japan. Acad. Ser. A Math. Phys.63 (1987), 315–317), who called themboundly factorizable.     

New classes of nonlinearly self-adjoint evolution equations of third- and fifth-order

In a recent communication Ibragimov introduced the concept of nonlinearly self-adjoint differential equation [Ibragimov NH. Nonlinear self-adjointness and conservation laws. J Phys A Math Theor 2011;44:432002 (8pp.)]. In this paper a nonlinear self-adjoint classification of a general class of fifth-order evolution equation with time dependent coefficients is presented. As a result five subclasses of nonlinearly self-adjoint equations of fifth-order and four subclasses of nonlinearly self-adjoint equations of third-order are obtained. From the Ibragimov’s theorem on conservation laws [Ibragimov NH. A new conservation theorem. J Math Anal Appl 2007;333:311–28] conservation laws for some of these equations are established.     

Quantum Non-Markovian Stochastic Equations

We derive quantum diffusion equations with transport coefficients explicitly depending on time from generalized non-Markovian Langevin equations and obtain generalized fluctuation-dissipation relations. We substantiate the axiomatic Lindblad approach in the microscopic model. For non-Markovian dynamics, we find sets of diffusion coefficients that ensure the purity of states at any instant. __________ Translated from Teoreticheskaya i Matematicheskaya Fizika, Vol. 145, No. 1, pp. 87–101, October, 2005.     

Echo spectroscopy and atom optics billiards

We discuss a recently demonstrated type of microwave spectroscopy of trapped ultra-cold atoms known as “echo spectroscopy” [Phys. Rev. Lett., 2003;90:023001[1]–[4]]. Echo spectroscopy can serve as an extremely sensitive experimental tool for investigating quantum dynamics of trapped atoms even when a large number of states are thermally populated. We show numerical results for the stability of eigenstates of an atom-optics billiard of the Bunimovich type, and discuss its behavior under different types of perturbations. Finally, we propose to use special geometrical constructions to make a dephasing free dipole trap.     

Numerical Integration of Differential Algebraic Systems and Invariant Manifolds

The dynamics of a differential algebraic equation takes place on a lower dimensional manifold in phase space. Applying a numerical integration scheme, it is natural to ask if and how this geometric property is preserved by the discrete dynamical system. In the index-1 case answers to this question are obtained from the singularly perturbed case treated by Nipp and Stoffer, Numer. Math. 70 (1995), 245–257, for Runge-Kutta methods and in K. Nipp and D. Stoffer, Numer. Math. 74 (1996), 305–323, for linear multistep methods. As main result of this paper it is shown that also for Runge-Kutta methods and linear multistep methods applied to a index-2 problem of Hessenberg form there is a (attractive) invariant manifold for the discrete dynamical system and this manifold is close to the manifold of the differential algebraic equation.     

Global existence and nonexistence of solutions for a system of nonlinear damped wave equations

We consider the Cauchy problem for the system of semilinear damped wave equations with small initial data:

We show that a critical exponent which classifies the global existence and the finite time blow up of solutions indeed coincides with the one to a corresponding semilinear heat systems with small data. The proof of the global existence is based on the L^p–L^q estimates of fundamental solutions for linear damped wave equations [K. Nishihara, L^p–L^q estimates of solutions to the damped wave equation in 3-dimensional space and their application, Math. Z. 244 (2003) 631–649; K. Marcati, P. Nishihara, The L^p–L^q estimates of solutions to one-dimensional damped wave equations and their application to compressible flow through porous media, J. Differential Equations 191 (2003) 445–469; T. Hosono, T. Ogawa, Large time behavior and L^p–L^q estimate of 2-dimensional nonlinear damped wave equations, J. Differential Equations 203 (2004) 82–118; T. Narazaki, L^p–L^q estimates for damped wave equations and their applications to semilinear problem, J. Math. Soc. Japan 56 (2004) 585–626]. And the blow-up is shown by the Fujita–Kaplan–Zhang method [Q. Zhang, A blow-up result for a nonlinear wave equation with damping: The critical case, C. R. Acad. Sci. Paris 333 (2001) 109–114; F. Sun, M. Wang, Existence and nonexistence of global solutions for a nonlinear hyperbolic system with damping, Nonlinear Anal. 66 (12) (2007) 2889–2910; T. Ogawa, H. Takeda, Non-existence of weak solutions to nonlinear damped wave equations in exterior domains, Nonlinear Anal. 70 (10) (2009) 3696–3701].     

Existence and Asymptotic Behavior of Solutions for the Unstirred Chemostat Model with Ratio-Dependent Function

A system of reaction-diffusion equations arising from the unstirred chemostat model with ratio-dependent function is considered. The asymptotic behavior of solutions is given and all positive steady-state solutions to this model lie on a single smooth solution curve. It turns out that the ratio-dependence effect will not affect the dynamics, compared with (Hsu and Waltman in SIAM J. Appl. Math. 53(4):1026–1044, 1993) and (Nie and Wu in Sci. China Math. 56(10):2035–2050, 2013).

     

Existence of solutions for elliptic equations with discontinuous nonlinearities strong resonance at infinity

In the present paper, our main purposes are to study nonlinear elliptic equations with strong resonance at infinity. Some existence theorems for nontrivial solutions are obtained by using some nonsmooth critical point theorems in [N. C. Kourogenis, N. S. Papageorgiou, Nonsmooth critical point theory and Nonlinear elliptic equations at resonance, J. Austral. Math Soc. (Ser. A) 69 (2000) 245–271]. The two of our theorems generalize Theorems 0.1 and 5.2 in [P. Bartolo, V. Benci, D. Fortunato, Abstract critical point theorems and applications to some nonlinear problems with “strong” resonance at infinity, Nonlinear Anal. TMA 7 (1983) 981–1012] to nonsmooth cases. Another theorem is new even if for the smooth case.
