Positive solutions for a class of p-Laplace problems involving quasi-linear and semi-linear terms

The aim of this paper is to discuss the positive solutions of the p-Laplace problem

−div(|u|^p−2u)+g(u)|u|^p=λu^q,

where p>1, q>1, is a nonnegative continuous function, λ is a real number. The sufficient condition to have positive solutions of the above problem is . However, if , there is no solution which belongs to it. Therefore, our results are optimal.     

Refined blowup criteria and nonsymmetric blowup of an aggregation equation

We consider an aggregation equation in , d2, with fractional dissipation: u_t+(uK*u)=−νΛ^γu, where ν0, 0<γ<1, and K(x)=e^−|x|. We prove a refined blowup criteria by which the global existence of solutions is controlled by its norm, for any . We prove the finite time blowup of solutions for a general class of nonsymmetric initial data. The argument presented works for both the inviscid case ν=0 and the supercritical case ν>0 and 0<γ<1. Additionally, we present new proofs of blowup which does not use free energy arguments.     

Relative rearrangement and Lebesgue spaces with variable exponent

We apply the techniques of monotone and relative rearrangements to the nonrearrangement invariant spaces L^p()(Ω) with variable exponent. In particular, we show that the maps uL^p()(Ω)→k(t)u_*L^p_*()(0,measΩ) and uL^p()(Ω)→u_*L^p*()(0,measΩ) are locally -Hölderian (u_* (resp. p^*) is the decreasing (resp. increasing) rearrangement of u (resp. p)). The pointwise relations for the relative rearrangement are applied to derive the Sobolev embedding with eventually discontinuous exponents.     

Exact solitary and periodic wave solutions for a generalized nonlinear Schrödinger equation

The generalized nonlinear Schrödinger equation (GNLS) iu_t + u_xx + βu²u + γu⁴u + iα (u²u)_x + iτ(u²)_xu = 0 is studied. Using the bifurcation of travelling waves of this equation, some exact solitary wave solutions were obtained in [Wang W, Sun J,Chen G, Bifurcation, Exact solutions and nonsmooth behavior of solitary waves in the generalized nonlinear Schrödinger equation. Int J Bifucat Chaos 2005:3295–305.]. In this paper, more explicit exact solitary wave solutions and some new smooth periodic wave solutions are obtained.     

Linking and Multiplicity Results for the p-Laplacian on Unbounded Cylinders

We consider the p-Laplacian problem[formula]on unbounded cylinders Ω = Ω̃ × R^N − m  R^N, N − m ≥ 2, where Δ_pu = div(|u|^p − 2u), λ is a constant in a certain range, and a  L^N/p(Ω) ∩ L^∞(Ω) is nonnegative, a  0. Using the principle of symmetric criticality, existence and multiplicity are proved under suitable conditions on a and f.     

Existence of HSOLSSOMs of type

In this paper we investigate the existence of holey self-orthogonal Latin squares with a symmetric orthogonal mate of type 2ⁿu¹ (HSOLSSOM(2ⁿu¹)). For u2, necessary conditions for existence of such an HSOLSSOM are that u must be even and n3u/2+1. Xu Yunqing and Hu Yuwang have shown that these HSOLSSOMs exist whenever either (1) n9 and n3u/2+1 or (2) n263 and n2(u-2). In this paper we show that in (1) the condition n9 can be extended to n30 and that in (2), the condition n263 can be improved to n4, except possibly for 19 pairs (n,u), the largest of which is (53,28).     

Turán type reverse Markov inequalities for compact convex sets

For a compact convex set the well-known general Markov inequality holds asserting that a polynomial p of degree n must have p^′c(K)n²p. On the other hand for polynomials in general, p^′ can be arbitrarily small as compared to p.The situation changes when we assume that the polynomials in question have all their zeroes in the convex set K. This was first investigated by Turán, who showed the lower bounds p^′(n/2)p for the unit disk D and for the unit interval I[-1,1]. Although partial results provided general lower estimates of order , as well as certain classes of domains with lower bounds of order n, it was not clear what order of magnitude the general convex domains may admit here.Here we show that for all bounded and convex domains K with nonempty interior and polynomials p with all their zeroes lying in K p^′c(K)np holds true, while p^′C(K)np occurs for any K. Actually, we determine c(K) and C(K) within a factor of absolute numerical constant.     

Fraternal augmentations, arrangeability and linear Ramsey numbers

We relate the notions of arrangeability and admissibility to bounded expansion classes and prove that these notions can be characterized by ₁(G). (The Burr–Erdős conjecture relates to ₀(G).) This implies the linearity of the Ramsey number and the bounded game chromatic number for some new classes of graphs.     

Equivalence relation groupoids associated with certain linearly ordered dimension groups

We consider linearly ordered, Archimedean dimension groups (G,G⁺,u) for which the group G/u is torsion-free. It will be shown that if, in addition, G/u is generated by a single element (i.e., ), then (G,G⁺,u) is isomorphic to for some irrational number τ(0,1). This amounts to an extension of related results where dimension groups for which G/u is torsion were considered. We will prove, in the case of the Fibonacci dimension group, that these results can be used to directly construct an equivalence relation groupoid whose C^*-algebra is the Fibonacci C^*-algebra.     

Regularity results for stable-like operators

For α[1,2) we consider operators of the form

and for α(0,1) we consider the same operator but where the f term is omitted. We prove, under appropriate conditions on A(x,h), that any solution u to will be in C^α+β if fC^β.     

On some d-dimensional dual hyperovals in

Let d≥3. Let H be a d+1-dimensional vector space over GF(2) and {e₀,…,e_d} be a specified basis of H. We define Supp(t){e_t1,…,e_tl}, a subset of a specified base for a non-zero vector t=e_t1++e_tl of H, and Supp(0)0/. We also define J(t)Supp(t) if |Supp(t)| is odd, and J(t)Supp(t){0} if |Supp(t)| is even.For s,tH, let {a(s,t)} be elements of H(HH) which satisfy the following conditions: (1) a(s,s)=(0,0), (2) a(s,t)=a(t,s), (3) a(s,t)≠(0,0) if s≠t, (4) a(s,t)=a(s^′,t^′) if and only if {s,t}={s^′,t^′}, (5) {a(s,t)|tH} is a vector space over GF(2), (6) {a(s,t)|s,tH} generate H(HH). Then, it is known that S{X(s)|sH}, where X(s){a(s,t)|tH{s}}, is a dual hyperoval in PG(d(d+3)/2,2)=(H(HH)){(0,0)}.In this note, we assume that, for s,tH, there exists some x_s,t in GF(2) such that a(s,t) satisfies the following equation: Then, we prove that the dual hyperoval constructed by {a(s,t)} is isomorphic to either the Huybrechts’ dual hyperoval, or the Buratti and Del Fra’s dual hyperoval.     

A nonlocal p-Laplacian evolution equation with Neumann boundary conditions

In this paper we study the nonlocal p-Laplacian type diffusion equation,

If p>1, this is the nonlocal analogous problem to the well-known local p-Laplacian evolution equation u_t=div(|u|^p−2u) with homogeneous Neumann boundary conditions. We prove existence and uniqueness of a strong solution, and if the kernel J is rescaled in an appropriate way, we show that the solutions to the corresponding nonlocal problems converge strongly in L^∞(0,T;L^p(Ω)) to the solution of the p-Laplacian with homogeneous Neumann boundary conditions. The extreme case p=1, that is, the nonlocal analogous to the total variation flow, is also analyzed. Finally, we study the asymptotic behavior of the solutions as t goes to infinity, showing the convergence to the mean value of the initial condition.     

Theorems about the attractor for incompressible non-Newtonian flow driven by external forces that are rapidly oscillating in time but have a smooth average

This paper discusses the incompressible non-Newtonian fluid with rapidly oscillating external forces g(x,t)=g(x,t,t/) possessing the average g⁰(x,t) as →0⁺, where 0<₀<1. Firstly, with assumptions (A₁)–(A₅) on the functions g(x,t,ξ) and g⁰(x,t), we prove that the Hausdorff distance between the uniform attractors and in space H, corresponding to the oscillating equations and the averaged equation, respectively, is less than O() as →0⁺. Then we establish that the Hausdorff distance between the uniform attractors and in space V is also less than O() as →0⁺. Finally, we show for each [0,₀].     

Attractors of the reaction-diffusion systems with rapidly oscillating coefficients and their homogenization

The following reaction-diffusion system in spatially non-homogeneous almost-periodic media is considered in a bounded domain : (1)∂_tu=Au−f(u)+g, u|_∂Ω=0. Here u=(u¹,…,u^k) is an unknown vector-valued function, f is a given nonlinear interaction function and the second order elliptic operator A has the following structure: where a_ij^l(y) are given almost-periodic functions. We prove that, under natural assumptions on the nonlinear term f(u), the longtime behavior of solutions of (1) can be described in terms of the global attractor of the associated dynamical system and that the attractors  , 0<<₀1, converge to the attractor of the homogenized problem (1) as →0. Moreover, in the particular case of periodic media, we give explicit estimates for the distance between the non-homogenized and the homogenized attractors in terms of the parameter .     

Homology of Newtonian Coalgebras

Given a Newtonian coalgebra we associate to it a chain complex. The homology groups of this Newtonian chain complex are computed for two important Newtonian coalgebras arising in the study of flag vectors of polytopes:R a, b and Rc, d. The homology of Ra, b corresponds to the homology of the boundary of then -crosspolytope. In contrast, the homology of Rc, d depends on the characteristic of the underlying ring R. In the case the ring has characteristic 2, the homology is computed via cubical complexes arising from distributive lattices. This paper ends with a characterization of the integer homology ofZ c, d.     

LOCAL TIME ANALYSIS OF ADDITIVE LEVY PROCESSES WITH DIFFERENT L(E)VY EXPONENTS

Let X1 XN be independent, classical Levy processes on R^d with Levy exponents ψ1,…, ψN, respectively. The corresponding additive Levy process is defined as the following N-parameter random field on R^d, X（t） △= X1（t1） ＋ ... ＋ XN（tN）, At∈N. Under mild regularity conditions on the ψi＇s, we derive estimate for the local and uniform moduli of continuity of local times of X = {X（t）; t ∈R^N}.     

The Approximation Functional and Interpolation with Perturbed Continuity

The continuity conditions at the endpoints of interpolation theorems, Ta_BjM_j a_Aj for j=0, 1, can be written with the help of the approximation functional: E(t, Ta; B₁, B₀)_L^∞M₀ a_A0 and E(t, Ta; B₀, B₁)_L^∞M₁ a_A1. As a special case of the results we present here we show that in the hypotheses of the interpolation theorem the L^∞ norms can be replaced by BMO( ₊) norms. This leads to a strong version of the Stein-Weiss theorem on interpolation with change of measure. Another application of our results is that the condition fL⁰, i.e., f*L^∞, where f*(γ)=μ{|f|>γ} is the distribution function of f, can be replaced in interpolation with L(p, q) spaces by the weaker f*BMO( ₊).     

Optimal Sobolev Imbeddings Involving Rearrangement-Invariant Quasinorms

Let m and n be positive integers with n2 and 1mn−1. We study rearrangement-invariant quasinorms _R and _D on functions f: (0, 1)→ such that to each bounded domain Ω in ⁿ, with Lebesgue measure |Ω|, there corresponds C=C(|Ω|)>0 for which one has the Sobolev imbedding inequality _R(u*(|Ω| t))C_D(|^mu|* (|Ω| t)), uC^m₀(Ω), involving the nonincreasing rearrangements of u and a certain mth order gradient of u. When m=1 we deal, in fact, with a closely related imbedding inequality of Talenti, in which _D need not be rearrangement-invariant, _R(u*(|Ω| t))C_D((d/dt) ∫_{{x ⁿ : |u(x)|>u*(|Ω| t)}} |(u)(x)| dx), uC¹₀(Ω). In both cases we are especially interested in when the quasinorms are optimal, in the sense that _R cannot be replaced by an essentially larger quasinorm and _D cannot be replaced by an essentially smaller one. Our results yield best possible refinements of such (limiting) Sobolev inequalities as those of Trudinger, Strichartz, Hansson, Brézis, and Wainger.     

Sharp estimates of bounded solutions to some semilinear second order dissipative equations

Let H, V be two real Hilbert spaces such that VH with continuous and dense imbedding, and let FC¹(V) be convex. By using differential inequalities, a close-to-optimal ultimate bound of the energy is obtained for solutions in to u^″+cu^′+bu+F(u)=f(t) whenever .
