Q-curves of degree 5 and jacobian surfaces of GL2-type

We construct a parametric family {E ^(±)(s,t,u)} of minimal Q-curves of degree 5 over the quadratic fields Q , and the family {C(s,t,u)} of genus two curves over Q covering E ^{(+)(s,t,u) whose jacobians are abelian surfaces of GL₂-type. We also discuss the modularity for them and the sign change between E ^{(+)(s,t,u) and its twist E ⁽⁻⁾(s,t,u), which correspond by modularity to cusp forms of trivial and non-trivial Neben type characters, respectively. We find in {C(s,t,u)} concrete equations of curves over Q whose jacobians are isogenous over cyclic quartic fields to Shimura's abelian surfaces A _f attached to cusp forms of Neben type character of level N= 29, 229, 349, 461, and 509.

A Paley-Wiener theorem and Wiener-Hopf-type integral equations in Clifford analysis

Using the properties of the monogenic extension of the Fourier transform, we state a Paley-Wiener-type theorem for monogenic functions. Based on an multiplier algebra related to boundary values of monogenic functions we consider integral equations of Wiener-Hopf-typeK±u _±=f on ℝ ⁿ , whereK ∈S′ andu _± are boundary values of monogenic functions in ℝ₊ ⁿ⁺¹ and ℝ_{_} ⁿ⁺¹ respectivly.     

First cohomology group of rank two Witt algebra to its Larsson modules

Let U = ℂ², Γ = ℤ², and let ℂ[x ₁^±1, x ₂^±1] be the ring of Laurent polynomials. The Witt algebra L is the Lie algebra of derivations over ℂ[x ₁^±1, x ₂^±1], which is spanned by elements of the form D(u, r) = x ^r (u ₁ d ₁ + u ₂ d ₂), u = (u ₁, u ₂) ∈ U, r ∈ Γ, where d ₁ and d ₂ are the degree derivations of ℂ[x ₁^±1, x ₂^±1]. The image of gl ₂-module V under Larsson functor F ^α , denoted by W = F ^α (V), gives a class of L-modules, often called the Larsson-modules of L. In this paper, we study the derivations from the Witt algebra L to its Larsson-modules W, and we determine the first cohomology group H ¹(L,W).     

Function Spaces with Exponential Weights I

In this paper we define weighted function spaces of type B^s_pq(u) and F^s_pq(u) on the Euclidean space IRⁿ, where u is a weight function of at most exponential growth. In particular, u(x) = exp(±|χ|) is an admissible weight. We prove some basic properties of these spaces, such as completeness and density of the smooth functions.     

On Burgers-type equations with nonmonotonic dissipative fluxes

We study a formation of patterns in Burgers-type equations endowed with a bounded but nonmonotonic dissipative flux: u_t + f(u)_x = ± νQ(u_x)_x, Q(s) = s/(1 + s²). Issues of uniqueness, existence, and smoothness of a solution are addressed. Asymptotic regions of a solution are discussed; in particular, classical and nonclassical traveling waves with an embedded subshock are constructed. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.     

Divergence of Infinite-Variance Nonradial Solutions to the 3D NLS Equation

We consider solutions u(t) to the 3d NLS equation i? _t u + Δu + |u|² u = 0 such that ‖xu(t)‖ _{L ²}  = ∞ and u(t) is nonradial. Denoting by M[u] and E[u], the mass and energy, respectively, of a solution u, and by Q(x) the ground state solution to ?Q + ΔQ + |Q|² Q = 0, we prove the following: if M[u]E[u] < M[Q]E[Q] and ‖u ₀‖ _{L ²} ‖?u ₀‖ _{L ²}  > ‖Q‖ _{L ²} ‖?Q‖ _{L ²} , then either u(t) blows-up in finite positive time or u(t) exists globally for all positive time and there exists a sequence of times t _n  → + ∞ such that ‖?u(t _n )‖ _{L ²}  → ∞. Similar statements hold for negative time.     

Distance Functions and Almost Global Solutions of Eikonal Equations

Consider a function u defined on  ⁿ , except, perhaps, on a closed set of potential singularities . Suppose that u solves the eikonal equation ‖Du‖ = 1 in the pointwise sense on  ⁿ \, where Du denotes the gradient of u and ‖·‖ is a norm on  ⁿ with the dual norm ‖·‖_?. For a class of norms which includes the standard p-norms on  ⁿ , 1 < p < ∞, we show that if  has Hausdorff 1-measure zero and n ≥ 2, then u is either affine or a “cone function,” that is, a function of the form u(x) = a ± ‖x ? z‖_?.     

Balancing vectors and Gaussian measures of n-dimensional convex bodies

Let ‖·‖ be the Euclidean norm on R ⁿ and γ_n the (standard) Gaussian measure on R ⁿ with density (2π)^−n/2e. It is proved that there is a numerical constant c>0 with the following property: if K is an arbitrary convex body in R ⁿ with γ_n(K)≥1/2, then to each sequence u₁,…,u_m∈ R ⁿ with ‖u₁‖,…,‖u_m‖≤c there correspond signs ε₁,…,ε_m=±1 such that ∑^m_i=1ε_iu_i∈K. This improves the well-known result obtained by Spencer [Trans. Amer. Math. Soc. 289 , 679–705 (1985)] for the n-dimensional cube. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. Random Struct.

Parabolic problems for the Anderson model

Summary. This is a continuation of our previous work [6] on the investigation of intermittency for the parabolic equation (∂/∂t)u=Hu on ℝ₊×ℤ ^d associated with the Anderson Hamiltonian H=κΔ+ξ(·) for i.i.d. random potentials ξ(·). For the Cauchy problem with nonnegative homogeneous initial condition we study the second order asymptotics of the statistical moments <u(t,0) ^p > and the almost sure growth of u(t,0) as t→∞. We point out the crucial role of double exponential tails of ξ(0) for the formation of high intermittent peaks of the solution u(t,·) with asymptotically finite size. The challenging motivation is to achieve a better understanding of the geometric structure of such high exceedances which in one or another sense provide the essential contribution to the solution.

Local Solutions of Semilinear Wave Equations in Hs+1

The Cauchy problem for the wave equation with power type non-linearity ±∣u∣u and data in H^s+1(ℝⁿ)×H^s(ℝⁿ) is considered, where 0<s<(n/2)−1 and n≥3. Under the growth restriction σ_*⩽4/(n−2−2s) in many cases the existence of a local solution with u(t)∈H^s+1(ℝⁿ) is shown which is unique in a closely related class.

Let R be a prime ring of char R ≠ 2, d a nonzero derivation of R, U a noncentral Lie ideal of R, and a ∈ R.

On the global weak solutions for a modified two‐component Camassa‐Holm equation

In this paper, we investigate the existence of global weak solutions to the Cauchy problem of a modified two‐component Camassa‐Holm equation with the initial data satisfying lim_{x → ±∞}u₀(x) = u_±. By perturbing the Cauchy problem around a rarefaction wave, we obtain a global weak solution for the system under the assumption u_? ≤ u₊. The global weak solution is obtained as a limit of approximation solutions. The key elements in our analysis are the Helly theorem and the estimation of energy for approximation solutions in $H^1(\mathbb {R})\times H^1(\mathbb {R})In this paper, we investigate the existence of global weak solutions to the Cauchy problem of a modified two‐component Camassa‐Holm equation with the initial data satisfying lim_{x → ±∞}u₀(x) = u_±.

KAM tori for higher dimensional beam equation with a fixed constant potential

In this paper, we consider the higher dimensional nonlinear beam equation:utt + △2u + σu + f(u)=0 with periodic boundary conditions, where the nonlinearity f(u) is a real-analytic function of the form f(u)=u3+ h.o.t near u=0 and σ is a positive constant. It is proved that for any fixed σ>0, the above equation admits a family of small-amplitude, linearly stable quasi-periodic solutions corresponding to finite dimensional invariant tori of an associated infinite dimensional dynamical system.     

Analysis for the identification of an unknown diffusion coefficient via semigroup approach

This paper presents a semigroup approach for the mathematical analysis of the inverse coefficient problems of identifying the unknown coefficient k(u_x) in the inhomogenenous quasi‐linear parabolic equation u_t(x, t)=(k(u_x)u_x(x, t))_x +F(u), with the Dirichlet boundary conditions u(0, t)=ψ₀, u(1, t)=ψ₁ and source function F(u). The main purpose of this paper is to investigate the distinguishability of the input–output mappings Φ[·]:??→C¹[0, T], Ψ[·]:??→C¹[0, T] via semigroup theory.

Lp Decay problem for the dissipative wave equation in even dimensions

We study L^p decay estimates of the solution to the Cauchy problem for the dissipative wave equation in even dimensions: (□+?_t)u=0 in ?^N × (0,∞) for even N=2n?2 with initial data (u,?_tu)∣_t=0 =(u₀,u₁). The representation formulas of the solution u(t)=?_tS(t)u₀ + S(t)(u₀+u₁) provide the sharp estimates on L^p norms with p?1. Copyright © 2004 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

A General Approximation Scheme for Attractors of Abstract Parabolic Problems

We consider semilinear problems of the form u′ = Au + f(u), where A generates an exponentially decaying compact analytic C ₀-semigroup in a Banach space E, f:E ^α → E is differentiable globally Lipschitz and bounded (E ^α = D((?A)^α) with the graph norm). Under a very general approximation scheme, we prove that attractors for such problems behave upper semicontinuously. If all equilibrium points are hyperbolic, then there is an odd number of them. If, in addition, all global solutions converge as t → ±∞, then the attractors behave lower semicontinuously. This general approximation scheme includes finite element method, projection and finite difference methods. The main assumption on the approximation is the compact convergence of resolvents, which may be applied to many other problems not related to discretization.
