Critical points of non-smooth functions with a weak compactness condition

In the framework of non-differentiable functionals expressed as a locally Lipschitz continuous term plus a convex, proper, lower semi-continuous function, a critical point result is established under a new weak Palais-Smale hypothesis, which contains the so-called Cerami condition. Some meaningful special cases are then pointed out.     

Rest points of generalized dynamical systems

In this paper we consider generalized dynamical systems whose integral vortex (that is, the set of all trajectories of the system starting at a given point) is an acyclic set in the corresponding space of curves. For such systems we apply the theory of fixed points for multi-valued maps in order to prove the existence of rest points. In this way we obtain new existence theorems for rest points of generalized dynamical systems. Translated fromMatematicheskie Zametki, Vol. 65, No. 1, pp. 28–36, January, 1999.     

Generic points for dynamical systems with average shadowing

We study the Besicovitch pseudometric \(D_B\) for compact dynamical systems. The set of generic points of ergodic measures turns out to be closed with respect to \(D_B\). It is proved that the weak specification property implies the average asymptotic shadowing property and the latter property does not imply the former one nor the almost specification property. Furthermore an example of a proximal system with the average shadowing property is constructed. It is proved that to every invariant measure \(\mu \) of a compact dynamical system one can associate a certain asymptotic pseudo orbit such that any point asymptotically tracing in average that pseudo orbit is generic for \(\mu \). A simple consequence of the theory presented is that every invariant measure has a generic point in a system with the asymptotic average shadowing property.     

Singular elliptic problems with lack of compactness

Mandelbrot-like sets in dynamical systems with no critical points

We report the discovery of an infinite quantity of Mandelbrot-like sets in the real parameter space of the Hénon map, a bidimensional diffeomorphism not obeying the Cauchy–Riemann conditions and having no critical points. For practical applications, this result shows to be possible to stabilize infinitely many complex phases by tuning real parameters only. To cite this article: A. Endler, J.A.C. Gallas, C. R. Acad.

Critical points and positive solutions of singular elliptic boundary value problems

Usually we do not think there is variational structure for singular elliptic boundary value problems, so it cannot be considered by using critical points theory. In this paper, we use critical theory on certain convex closed sets to solve positive solutions for singular elliptic boundary value problems, especially use the ordinary differential equation theory of Banach spaces to obtain new results on the existence of multiple positive solutions. The method is useful for other singular problems.     

On a variational problem with lack of compactness: the topological effect of the critical points at infinity

We study the subcritical problemsP :–u=u ^p–,u>0 on;u=0 on , being a smooth and bounded domain in ^N,N–3,p+1=2N/N–2 the critical Sobolev exponent and >0 going to zero — in order to compute the difference of topology that the critical points at infinity induce between the level sets of the functional corresponding to the limit case (P₀).

Periodic solutions of second order non-autonomous singular dynamical systems

In this paper, we establish two different existence results of positive periodic solutions for second order non-autonomous singular dynamical systems. The first one is based on a nonlinear alternative principle of Leray-Schauder and the result is applicable to the case of a strong singularity as well as the case of a weak singularity. The second one is based on Schauder's fixed point theorem and the result sheds some new light on problems with weak singularities and proves that in some situations weak singularities may help create periodic solutions. Recent results in the literature are generalized and significantly improved.     

Non-collision periodic solutions of second order singular dynamical systems

We study the existence of non-collision periodic solutions for second order singular dynamical systems. The repulsive case and the attractive case are dealt with using a unified topological approach. The proof is based on a well-known fixed point theorem for completely continuous operators, involving a new type of cone. We do not need to consider so-called strong force conditions. Moreover, for the repulsive case, the critical case can be covered. Recent results in the literature, even in the scalar case, are complemented, generalized and improved.     

Continuity and compactness of singular integral operators

In the space of square integrable functions we establish effective sufficient continuity and compactness conditions for singular integral operators with Cauchy kernels on a segment of the real axis.     

Criteria for exact saturation and singular compactness

We introduce the class of unshreddable theories, which contains the simple and NIP theories, and prove that such theories have exactly saturated models in singular cardinals, satisfying certain set-theoretic hypotheses. We also give criteria for a theory to have singular compactness.     

Reduction of dimension of optimal estimation problems for dynamical systems with singular perturbations

The possibility of applying the method of integral manifolds to the reduction of optimal filtering problems for systems with low energy dissipation is explored. For such systems, it is shown that the slow subsystem of matrix Riccati differential equations turns out to have a higher dimension than expected, which leads to an increase in the dimension of the reduced problems. An optimal filter is constructed for the Langevin equation and for a dynamic model of a single-link flexible manipulator.     

On a class of inequality problems with lack of compactness

In this paper we prove the existence of at least one solution for a variational-hemivariational inequality on a closed and convex set without using critical point theory. We apply a version of the well-known theorem of Knaster-Kuratowski-Mazurkiewicz. The obtained results can be applied to Schrödinger type problems and to problems with radially symmetric functions.

Combined effects for magnetic Laplace equations with lack of compactness

We are concerned with qualitative analysis of weak solutions for a class of magnetic Laplace equations with lack of compactness. By variational arguments, we establish related nonexistence, existence and multiplicity results.     

Critical points of essential norms of singular integral operators in weighted spaces

We show that for any simple piecewise Ljapunov contour there exists a power weight such that the essential norm |S | in the spaceL ₂(, ) does not depend on the angles of the contour and it is given by formula (2). All such weights are described. For the union =₁₂ of two simple piecewise Lyapunov curves we prove that the essential norm |S | inL ₂() is minimal if both ₁ and ₂ are smooth in some neighborhoods of the common points. It is the case when the norm |S | in the spaceL ₂() as well as inL ₂(, ) does not depend on the values of the angles and it can be calculated by formula (5).     

S-integral preperiodic points for dynamical systems over number fields

Given a rational map :¹¹ defined over a number field K, we provea finiteness result for -preperiodic points which are S-integralwith respect to a non-preperiodic point P, provided that P satisfiesa certain local condition at each place. This verifies a specialcase of a conjecture of Ih.
