Applying the dual operator formalism to derive the zeroth-order boundary function of the plasma-sheath equation

The article constructs the asymptotic solution of the Tonks-Langmuir integro-differential equation with an Emmert kernel, which describes the potential both in the bulk plasma and in a narrow boundary layer. Equations of this type are singularly perturbed, because the highest order (second) derivative is multiplied by a small coefficient. The asymptotic solution is obtained by the boundary function method. The second-order differential equation describing the behavior of the zeroth-order boundary function is investigated using the dual operator formalism — an analog of the conjugate operator in the linear theory. The application of this formalism has produced an asymptotic solution and has also made it possible to propose a number of homogeneous discrete three-point schemes for solving the equation. __________ Translated from Prikladnaya Matematika i Informatika, No. 22, pp. 76–90, 2005.     

Characteristics with singularities and the boundary values of the asymptotic solution of the Cauchy problem for a degenerate wave equation

We consider the Cauchy problem with spatially localized initial data for the twodimensional wave equation degenerating on the boundary of the domain. This problem arises, in particular, in the theory of tsunami wave run-up on a shallow beach. Earlier, S. Yu. Dobrokhotov, V. E. Nazaikinskii, and B. Tirozzi developed a method for constructing asymptotic solutions of this problem. The method is based on a modified Maslov canonical operator and on characteristics (trajectories) unbounded in the momentum variables; such characteristics are nonstandard from the viewpoint of the theory of partial differential equations. In a neighborhood of the velocity degeneration line, which is a caustic of a special form, the canonical operator is defined via the Hankel transform, which arises when applying Fock’s quantization procedure to the canonical transformation regularizing the above-mentioned nonstandard characteristics in a neighborhood of the velocity degeneration line (the boundary of the domain). It is shown in the present paper that the restriction of the asymptotic solutions to the boundary is determined by the standard canonical operator, which simplifies the asymptotic formulas for the solution on the boundary dramatically; for initial perturbations of special form, the solutions can be expressed via simple algebraic functions.     

A One-Dimensional Schrödinger Operator with Square-Integrable Potential

We study the spectral properties of a one-dimensional Schrödinger operator with squareintegrable potential whose domain is defined by the Dirichlet boundary conditions. The main results are concerned with the asymptotics of the eigenvalues, the asymptotic behavior of the operator semigroup generated by the negative of the differential operator under consideration. Moreover, we derive deviation estimates for the spectral projections and estimates for the equiconvergence of the spectral decompositions. Our asymptotic formulas for eigenvalues refine the well-known ones.     

Semiclassical asymptotic spectrum of a Hartree-type operator near the upper boundary of spectral clusters

We consider the problem for eigenvalues of a perturbed two-dimensional oscillator in the case of a resonance frequency. The exciting potential is given by a Hartree-type integral operator with a smooth self-action potential. We find asymptotic eigenvalues and asymptotic eigenfunctions near the upper boundary of spectral clusters, which form around energy levels of the nonperturbed operator. To calculate them, we use asymptotic formulas for quantum means.     

Application of the dual operator method to an equation describing the behavior of a boundary function

The dual operator is an analogue of the conjugate operator in linear theory. In this study the dual operator is applied to a second-order differential equation describing the behavior of the zero-order boundary function in the boundary function method used to derive the asymptotic solution of the singularly perturbed integro-differential plasma-sheath equation. This approach produces is a three-point difference scheme. The results of a numerical solution of the Cauchy problem are reported. __________ Translated from Prikladnaya Matematika i Informatika, No. 26, pp. 49–60, 2007.

The paper deals with spectral properties of elliptic operators of second order in irregular unbounded domains with cusps. The eigenvalue asymptotic of the operator with Neumann boundary conditions is proved. The eigenvalue asymptotic in these domains is different from that with Dirichlet boundary conditions.

On the basis property of the root functions of differential operators with matrix coefficients

We obtain asymptotic formulas for eigenvalues and eigenfunctions of the operator generated by a system of ordinary differential equations with summable coefficients and periodic or antiperiodic boundary conditions. Then using these asymptotic formulas, we find necessary and sufficient conditions on the coefficients for which the system of eigenfunctions and associated functions of the operator under consideration forms a Riesz basis.     

Homogenization and asymptotics for a waveguide with an infinite number of closely located small windows

We consider a planar waveguide modeled by the Laplacian in a straight infinite strip with the Dirichlet boundary condition on the upper boundary and with frequently alternating boundary conditions (Dirichlet and Neumann) on the lower boundary. The homogenized operator is the Laplacian subject to the Dirichlet boundary condition on the upper boundary and to the Dirichlet or Neumann condition on the lower one. We prove the uniform resolvent convergence for the perturbed operator in both cases and obtain the estimates for the rate of convergence. Moreover, we construct the leading terms of the asymptotic expansions for the first band functions and the complete asymptotic expansion for the bottom of the spectrum. Bibliography: 17 titles.

Minimal compact global attractor for a damped semilinear wave equation

Abstract

The asymptotic behavior of eigenvalues of an elliptic operator with a divergence form is discussed. The coefficients of the operator are discontinuous through a boundary of a subdomain and degenerate to zero on the subdomain when a parameter tends to zero. We will prove that the eigenvalues approach eigenvalues of the Laplacian on the subdomain or on the complement. We will obtain precise asymptotic behavior of their convergence.     

On Hill's operator with a matrix potential

In this article we obtain asymptotic formulas for eigenvalues and eigenfunctions of the self‐adjoint operator generated by a system of Sturm–Liouville equations with summable coefficients and quasiperiodic boundary conditions. Then using these asymptotic formulas, we find conditions on the potential for which the number of gaps in the spectrum of the Hill's operator with matrix potential is finite.

On the resolvent arising in a parameter‐elliptic multi‐order boundary problem

In this paper we consider a boundary problem for a parameter‐elliptic, multi‐order system of differential equations defined over a bounded region in $\mathbb {R}^n$ and under limited smoothness assumptions as well as under boundary conditions which include those of Dirichlet. Information is then derived concerning the asymptotic behaviour of the trace of a power of the resolvent of the Hilbert space operator, in general non‐selfadjoint, induced by the boundary problem under null boundary conditions. This information will then be used in a subsequent work to derive various results pertaining to the asymptotic behaviour of the eigenvalues of this operator.     

On the asymptotic behavior of solutions of quasilinear elliptic equations

The asymptotic behavior of solutions of second-order quasilinear elliptic and nonhyperbolic partial differential equations defined on unbounded domains inR ⁿ contained in\(\{ x_1 ,...,x_n :\left| {x_n } \right|< \lambda \sqrt {x_1^2 + ...x_{n - 1}^2 } \) for certain sublinear functions λ is investigated when such solutions satisfy Dirichlet boundary conditions and the Dirichlet boundary data has appropriate asymptotic behavior at infinity. We prove Phragmèn-Lindelöf theorems for large classes of nonhyperbolic operators, without «lower order terms”, including uniformly elliptic operators and operators with well-definedgenre, using special barrier functions which are constructed by considering an operator associated to our original operator. We also estimate the rate at which a solution converges to its limiting function at infinity in terms of properties of the top order coefficienta _nn of the operator and the rate at which the boundary values converge to their limiting function; these results are proven using appropriate barrier functions which depend on the behavior of the coefficients of the operator and the rate of convergence of boundary values.     

On the asymptotics of eigenfunctions of Sturm-Liouville operators with distribution potentials

We consider a Sturm-Liouville operator in the space L ₂[0, π] and derive asymptotic formulas for the eigenvalues and eigenfunctions of this operator for the case of Dirichlet-Neumann boundary conditions. The leading and second terms of the asymptotics are found in closed form.     

On the Riesz basis property of the root functions of a discontinuous boundary problem

In this paper, we consider the nonself‐adjoint discontinuous Sturm Liouville operator with periodic (antiperiodic) boundary condition and compatibility conditions. Asymptotic formulas of eigenvalues and eigenfunctions of the operator are obtained. Using these accurate asymptotic formulas for eigenvalues and eigenfunctions, we prove the basisness of the root functions of the boundary value problem.     

Heat Content Asymptotics for Riemannian Manifolds with Zaremba Boundary Conditions

The existence of a full asymptotic expansion for the heat content asymptotics of an operator of Laplace type with classical Zaremba boundary conditions on a smooth manifold is established. The first three coefficients in this asymptotic expansion are determined in terms of geometric invariants; partial information is obtained about the fourth coefficient.      

On the spectral properties of odd-order differential operators with integrable potential

We consider a boundary value problem with irregular boundary conditions for a differential operator of arbitrary odd order. The potential in this operator is assumed to be an integrable function. We suggest a method for studying the spectral properties of differential operators with integrable coefficients. We analyze the asymptotic behavior of solutions of the differential equation in question for large values of the spectral parameter. The eigenvalue asymptotics for the considered differential operator is obtained.     

Asymptotics of eigenvalues of the Dirichlet boundary value problem for the Lame operator in a three-dimensional domain with a small cavity

A boundary value problem for the Lame operator in a bounded three-dimensional domain with a small cavity is studied. The domain is filled with an elastic homogeneous isotropic medium that is clamped at the boundary, which corresponds to the Dirichlet boundary condition. The leading term of an asymptotic expansion for the eigenvalue is constructed in the case of the Dirichlet limit problem. The asymptotic expansion is constructed in powers of a small parameter ? that is the diameter of the cavity.     

Singular numbers of the monodromy operator and sufficient conditions of the asymptotic stability of periodic system of differential equations with fixed delay

To obtain sufficient conditions for the asymptotic stability of linear periodic systems with fixed delay commensurable with the period of coefficients, singular numbers of the monodromy operator are used. To find these numbers, a self-adjoint boundary value problem for ordinary differential equations is applied. We study the motion of eigenvalues of this boundary value problem under a variation of a parameter. Obtaining sufficient conditions for the asymptotic stability is reduced to finding the bifurcation value of the parameter for the boundary value problem.     

Spectrum of the Kerzman-Stein Operator for the Ellipse

The skew-hermitian part of the Cauchy operator, defined with respect to arclength measure on the boundary, is known as the Kerzman-Stein operator. For an ellipse, the eigenvalues of this operator are shown to have multiplicity two. For an ellipse with small eccentricity, we compute the leading coefficient in the asymptotic expansion of the eigenvalues.
