Gaussian upper bounds for fundamental solutions of a family of parabolic equations

We study the family of divergence-type second-order parabolic equations w_e(x)\frac?u?t=div(a(x)w_e(x) ?u), x ? \mathbbRⁿ{\omega_\varepsilon(x)\frac{\partial u}{\partial t}={\rm div}(a(x)\omega_\varepsilon(x) \nabla u), x \in \mathbb{R}^n} , with parameter ${\varepsilon >0 }${\varepsilon >0 } , where a(x) is uniformly elliptic matrix and w_e=1{\omega_\varepsilon=1} for x _n  < 0 and w_e=e{\omega_\varepsilon=\varepsilon} for x _n  > 0. We show that the fundamental solution obeys the Gaussian upper bound uniformly with respect to e{\varepsilon} .     

The stability of the elliptic equilibrium of planar quasi-periodic Hamiltonian systems

In this paper, we study the planar Hamiltonian system  = J (A(θ)x + ▽f(x, θ)), θ = ω, x ∈ R2 , θ∈ Td , where f is real analytic in x and θ, A(θ) is a 2 × 2 real analytic symmetric matrix, J = (1-1 ) and ω is a Diophantine vector. Under the assumption that the unperturbed system  = JA(θ)x, θ = ω is reducible and stable, we obtain a series of criteria for the stability and instability of the equilibrium of the perturbed system.     

On the existence and stability of periodic orbits in non ideal problems: General results

In this work, motivated by non-ideal mechanical systems, we investigate the following O.D.E. [(x)\dot] = f (x) + eg (x, t) + e²[^(g)] (x, t, e){\dot{x} = f (x) + \varepsilon g (x, t) + \varepsilon^{2}\widehat{g} (x, t, \varepsilon)} , where x ? W ì \mathbbRⁿ{x \in \Omega \subset \mathbb{R}^n} , g,[^(g)]{g,\widehat{g}} are T periodic functions of t and there is a ₀ ∈ Ω such that f ( a ₀) = 0 and f ′( a ₀) is a nilpotent matrix. When n = 3 and f (x) = (0, q (x ₃) , 0) we get results on existence and stability of periodic orbits. We apply these results in a non ideal mechanical system: the Centrifugal Vibrator. We make a stability analysis of this dynamical system and get a characterization of the Sommerfeld Effect as a bifurcation of periodic orbits.

Coincidence theorems and its applications to equilibrium problems

Given two maps h : X ×K ? \mathbbR{h : X \times K \rightarrow \mathbb{R}} and g : X → K such that, for all x ? X, h(x, g(x)) = 0{x \in X, h(x, g(x)) = 0} , we consider the equilibrium problem of finding [(x)\tilde] ? X{\tilde{x} \in X} such that h([(x)\tilde], g(x)) 3 0{h(\tilde{x}, g(x)) \geq 0} for every x ? X{x \in X} . This question is related to a coincidence problem.     

On wave equations with supercritical nonlinearities

We prove that the solution operators e_t (f, y){\cal e}_t (\phi , \psi ) for the nonlinear wave equations with supercritical nonlinearities are not Lipschitz mappings from a subset of the finite-energy space ([(H)\dot]¹ ?L_r+1) ×L₂(\dot {H}^1 \cap L_{\rho +1}) \times L_2 to [(H)\dot]^s_q￠\dot {H}^s_{q'} for t 1 0t\neq 0, and 0 ￡ s ￡ 1,0\leq s\leq 1, (n+1)/(1/2-1/q￠) = 1(n+1)/(1/2-1/q')= 1. This is in contrast to the subcritical case, where the corresponding operators are Lipschitz mappings ([3], [6]). Here e_t(f, y)=u(·, t){\cal e}_t(\phi , \psi )=u(\cdot , t), where u is a solution of {

On some Dirichlet series related to the Riemann zeta function,I

On the assumption of the truth of the Riemann hypothesis for the Riemann zeta function we construct a class of modified von-Mangoldt functions with slightly better mean value properties than the well known function L\Lambda . For every e ? (0,1/2)\varepsilon \in (0,1/2) there is a [(L)\tilde] : \Bbb N ? \Bbb C\tilde {\Lambda} : \Bbb N \to \Bbb C such that¶ i) [(L)\tilde] (n) = L (n) (1 + O(n^-1/4  logn))\tilde {\Lambda} (n) = \Lambda (n) (1 + O(n^{-1/4\,} \log n)) and¶ii) ?_{n \leqq x} [(L)\tilde] (n) (1- [(n)/(x)]) = [(x)/2] + O(x^1/4+e) (x \geqq 2).\sum \limits_{n \leqq x} \tilde {\Lambda} (n) \left(1- {{n}\over{x}}\right) = {{x}\over{2}} + O(x^{1/4+\varepsilon }) (x \geqq 2).¶Unfortunately, this does not lead to an improved error term estimation for the unweighted sum ?_{n \leqq x} [(L)\tilde] (n)\sum \limits_{n \leqq x} \tilde {\Lambda} (n), which would be of importance for the distance between consecutive primes.
