Linear periodic boundary-value problem for a second-order hyperbolic equation. II. Quasilinear problem

In three spaces, we find exact classical solutions of the boundary-value periodic problem u_tt - a²u_xx = g(x, t) u(0, t) = u(π, t) = 0, u(x, t + T) = u(x, t), x ∈ ℝ, t ∈ ℝ. We study the periodic boundary-value problem for a quasilinear equation whose left-hand side is the d’Alembert operator and whose right-hand side is a nonlinear operator.

On a criterion for the complete controllability of nonautonomous linear systems

We describe the controllability sets of linear nonautonomous systems ẋ = A(t)x + B(t)u, x ∈ ℝ ⁿ , u ∈ U ⊆ ℝ ^m , with entire matrix functions A(t) and B(t) and with a linear set U of control constraints. We derive a criterion for the complete controllability of these linear systems in terms of derivatives of the entire matrix functions A(t) and B(t) at zero. This complete controllability criterion is compared with the Kalman and Krasovskii criteria.     

Correlation structure of intermittency in the parabolic Anderson model

Consider the Cauchy problem ∂u(x, t)/∂t = ℋu(x, t) (x∈ℤ^d, t≥ 0) with initial condition u(x, 0) ≡ 1 and with ℋ the Anderson Hamiltonian ℋ = κΔ + ξ. Here Δ is the discrete Laplacian, κ∈ (0, ∞) is a diffusion constant, and ξ = {ξ(x): x∈ℤ ^d } is an i.i.d.random field taking values in ℝ. G?rtner and Molchanov (1990) have shown that if the law of ξ(0) is nondegenerate, then the solution u is asymptotically intermittent. In the present paper we study the structure of the intermittent peaks for the special case where the law of ξ(0) is (in the vicinity of) the double exponential Prob(ξ(0) > s) = exp[−e ^{s /θ}] (s∈ℝ). Here θ∈ (0, ∞) is a parameter that can be thought of as measuring the degree of disorder in the ξ-field. Our main result is that, for fixed x, y∈ℤ ^d and t→∈, the correlation coefficient of u(x, t) and u(y, t) converges to ∥w _ρ∥⁻² _ℓ2Σ_{z ∈ℤd} w _ρ(x+z)w _ρ(y+z). In this expression, ρ = θ/κ while w _ρ:ℤ^d→ℝ⁺ is given by w _ρ = (v _ρ)^{⊗ d} with v _ρ: ℤ→ℝ⁺ the unique centered ground state (i.e., the solution in ℓ²(ℤ) with minimal l ²-norm) of the 1-dimensional nonlinear equation Δv + 2ρv log v = 0. The uniqueness of the ground state is actually proved only for large ρ, but is conjectured to hold for any ρ∈ (0, ∞). empty It turns out that if the right tail of the law of ξ(0) is thicker (or thinner) than the double exponential, then the correlation coefficient of u(x, t) and u(y, t) converges to δ _{x, y} (resp.the constant function 1). Thus, the double exponential family is the critical class exhibiting a nondegenerate correlation structure. Received: 5 March 1997 / Revised version: 21 September 1998     

On cauchy problem of the Benney-Lin equation with low regularity initial data

In this work we prove that the initial value problem of the Benney-Lin equation ut ＋ uxxx ＋ β（uxx ＋ u xxxx） ＋ ηuxxxxx ＋ uux = 0 （x ∈ R, t ≥0 0）, where β 〉 0 and η∈R, is locally well-posed in Sobolev spaces HS（R） for s ≥ -7/5. The method we use to prove this result is the bilinear estimate method initiated by Bourgain.

An Application of a Mountain Pass Theorem

We are concerned with the following Dirichlet problem: −Δu(x) = f(x, u), x∈Ω, u∈H ¹ ₀(Ω), (P) where f(x, t) ∈C (×ℝ), f(x, t)/t is nondecreasing in t∈ℝ and tends to an L ^∞-function q(x) uniformly in x∈Ω as t→ + ∞ (i.e., f(x, t) is asymptotically linear in t at infinity). In this case, an Ambrosetti-Rabinowitz-type condition, that is, for some θ > 2, M > 0, 0 > θF(x, s) ≤f(x, s)s, for all |s|≥M and x∈Ω, (AR) is no longer true, where F(x, s) = ∫ ^s ₀ f(x, t)dt. As is well known, (AR) is an important technical condition in applying Mountain Pass Theorem. In this paper, without assuming (AR) we prove, by using a variant version of Mountain Pass Theorem, that problem (P) has a positive solution under suitable conditions on f(x, t) and q(x). Our methods also work for the case where f(x, t) is superlinear in t at infinity, i.e., q(x) ≡ +∞. Received June 24, 1998, Accepted January 14, 2000.     

Almost automorphic solutions to integral equations on the line

Given a∈L ¹(ℝ) and A the generator of an L ¹-integrable family of bounded and linear operators defined on a Banach space X, we prove the existence of almost automorphic solution to the semilinear integral equation u(t)=∫ _−∞ ^t a(t−s)[Au(s)+f(s,u(s))]ds for each f:ℝ×X→X almost automorphic in t, uniformly in x∈X, and satisfying diverse Lipschitz type conditions. In the scalar case, we prove that a∈L ¹(ℝ) positive, nonincreasing and log-convex is already sufficient.

Infima of superharmonic functions

Let Ω be a Greenian domain in ℝ ^d , d≥2, or—more generally—let Ω be a connected -Brelot space satisfying axiom D, and let u be a numerical function on Ω, , which is locally bounded from below. A short proof yields the following result: The function u is the infimum of its superharmonic majorants if and only if each set {x:u(x)>t}, t∈ℝ, differs from an analytic set only by a polar set and , whenever V is a relatively compact open set in Ω and x∈V.     

On a smooth solution of a boundary-value problem

Littlewood–Paley theorem on spaces <Emphasis Type="Italic">L</Emphasis><Superscript><Emphasis Type="Italic">p</Emphasis>(<Emphasis Type="Italic">t</Emphasis>)</Superscript>(ℝ<Superscript><Emphasis Type="Italic">n</Emphasis></Superscript>)

We point out that if the Hardy–Littlewood maximal operator is bounded on the space L ^p(t)(ℝ), 1 < a ≤ p(t) ≤ b < ∞, t ∈ ℝ, then the well-known characterization of the spaces L ^p (ℝ), 1 < p < ∞, by the Littlewood–Paley theory extends to the space L ^p(t)(ℝ). We show that, for n > 1 , the Littlewood–Paley operator is bounded on L ^p(t) (ℝ ⁿ ), 1 < a ≤ p(t) ≤ b < ∞, t ∈ ℝ ⁿ , if and only if p(t) = const.

Maximal subspaces for solutions of the second order abstract cauchy problem

For a continuous, increasing function ω: R → R \{0} of finite exponential type, this paper introduces the set Z(A, ω) of all x in a Banach space X for which the second order abstract differential equation (2) has a mild solution such that [ω(t)]-1u(t,x) is uniformly continues on R , and show that Z(A, ω) is a maximal Banach subspace continuously embedded in X, where A ∈ B(X) is closed. Moreover, A|z(A,ω) generates an O(ω(t))strongly continuous cosine operator function family.

Homoclinic Orbits of Nonperiodic Super Quadratic Hamiltonian System

This paper is concerned with solutions of the Hamiltonian system: [(u)\dot]=JH_u(t,u)\dot{u}=\mathcal{J}H_{u}(t,u) , where H(t,u)=\frac12u·Lu+W(t,u)H(t,u)=\frac{1}{2}u\cdot Lu+W(t,u) with L being a 2N×2N symmetric matrix and W∈C ¹(ℝ×ℝ^2N ,ℝ) being super quadratic at infinity in u∈ℝ^2N . We use variational methods to study this problem. By virtue of some auxiliary system related to the “limit equation” of the Hamiltonian system, we constructed linking levels of the variational functional Φ such that the minimax value E _l based on the linking structure of Φ satisfies 0 < E_l < E_l00E_l0E_{l_{0}} is the least action of the “limit equation”. Thus we can show the (PS) _c -condition holds true for all c < E_l0c相似文献   

Kernel regression estimation for continuous spatial processes

We investigate here a kernel estimate of the spatial regression function r(x) = E(Y _u | X _u = x), x ∈ ℝ^d, of a stationary multidimensional spatial process { Z _u = (X _u, Y _u), u ∈ ℝ ^N }. The weak and strong consistency of the estimate is shown under sufficient conditions on the mixing coefficients and the bandwidth, when the process is observed over a rectangular domain of ℝ^N. Special attention is paid to achieve optimal and suroptimal strong rates of convergence. It is also shown that this suroptimal rate is preserved by using a suitable spatial sampling scheme.
