The behavior of the principal eigenvalue of a mixed elliptic problem with respect to a parameter

In this paper we determine the exact asymptotic behavior of the principal eigenvalue of a mixed elliptic eigenvalue problem which depends on a positive parameter λ when λ→∞. We analyze the case in which the problem is considered in a smooth bounded domain Ω of RN, and also the case of planar domains which are smooth except for a finite number of corner points.     

Asymptotic behavior for the principal eigenvalue of a reinforcement problem

In this paper, we consider the asymptotic behavior for the principal eigenvalue of an elliptic operator with piecewise constant coefficients. This problem was first studied by Friedman in 1980. We show how the geometric shape of the interface affects the asymptotic behavior for the principal eigenvalue. This is a refinement of the result by Friedman.     

On the least point of the spectrum of certain cooperative linear systems with a large parameter

We obtain the asymptotic limit of the principal eigenvalue of a cooperative system of linear elliptic equations as a parameter tends to infinity. Our results are much more general than those in the work of Caudevilla and López-Gómez (2008) [2]. We obtain an unusual limit problem.     

On the principal eigenvalue of linear cooperating elliptic systems with small diffusion

We use cone methods combined with distribution theory and blow ups to find the asymptotic limit of the principal eigenvalue of a cooperative elliptic linear system when the diffusion is small.     

Necessary and sufficient conditions in a spectrum control problem

For a linear stationary control system closed by a linear output feedback and for a bilinear stationary control system, we obtain new necessary and sufficient conditions for the solvability of the eigenvalue spectrum control problem in the case of a special form of the coefficients.     

Open problems in Gaussian fluid queueing theory

We present three challenging open problems that originate from the analysis of the asymptotic behavior of Gaussian fluid queueing models. In particular, we address the problem of characterizing the correlation structure of the stationary buffer content process, the speed of convergence to stationarity, and analysis of an asymptotic constant associated with the stationary buffer content distribution (the so-called Pickands constant).

On the smallest eigenvalue of the Stokes operator in a domain with fine-grained random boundary

This article deals with a problem arising in localization of the principal eigenvalue (PE) of the Stokes operator under the Dirichlet condition on the fine-grained random boundary of a domain contained in a cube of size t ? 1. The random microstructure is assumed identically distributed in distinct unit cubic cells and, in essence, independent. In this setting, the asymptotic behavior of the PE as t → ∞ is deterministic: it proves possible to find nonrandom upper and lower bounds on the PE which apply with probability that converges to 1. It was proved earlier that in two dimensions the nonrandom unilateral bounds on the PE can be chosen asymptotically equivalent, which implies the convergence in probability to a nonrandom limit of the appropriately normalized PE. The present article extends this result to higher dimensions.     

Markov-Bernstein inequalities for generalized Gegenbauer weight

The Markov-Bernstein inequalities for generalized Gegenbauer weight are studied. A special basis of the vector space Pn of real polynomials in one variable of degree at most equal to n is proposed. It is produced by quasi-orthogonal polynomials with respect to this generalized Gegenbauer measure. Thanks to this basis the problem to find the Markov-Bernstein constant is separated in two eigenvalue problems. The first has a classical form and we are able to give lower and upper bounds of the Markov-Bernstein constant by using the Newton method and the classical qd algorithm applied to a sequence of orthogonal polynomials. The second is a generalized eigenvalue problem with a five diagonal matrix and a tridiagonal matrix. A lower bound is obtained by using the Newton method applied to the six term recurrence relation produced by the expansion of the characteristic determinant. The asymptotic behavior of an upper bound is studied. Finally, the asymptotic behavior of the Markov-Bernstein constant is O(n²) in both cases.

The principal eigenvalue for periodic nonlocal dispersal systems with time delay

The theory of the principal eigenvalue is established for the eigenvalue problem associated with a linear time-periodic nonlocal dispersal cooperative system with time delay. Then we apply it to a Nicholson's blowflies population model and obtain a threshold type result on its global dynamics.     

Scalarization of stationary semiclassical problems for systems of equations and its application in plasma physics

We propose a method for determining asymptotic solutions of stationary problems for pencils of differential (and pseudodifferential) operators whose symbol is a self-adjoint matrix. We show that in the case of constant multiplicity, the problem of constructing asymptotic solutions corresponding to a distinguished eigenvalue (called an effective Hamiltonian, term, or mode) reduces to studying objects related only to the determinant of the principal matrix symbol and the eigenvector corresponding to a given (numerical) value of this effective Hamiltonian. As an example, we show that stationary solutions can be effectively calculated in the problem of plasma motion in a tokamak.     

Numerical solutions of an extended Korteweg-de Vries equation describing solitary waves in turbulent open-channel flow

Solitary waves in two-dimensional, turbulent open-channel flow are considered. In an asymptotic analysis given in [1], assuming a bottom roughness that is varying along the channel bed, an extended Korteweg-de Vries (KdV) equation was derived to describe the surface elevation of the wave. We adopted this equation and solved it numerically as a coupled boundary-value eigenvalue problem, obtaining results for stationary and transient wave solutions as well as for the eigenvalue, which corresponds to distinct values of the bottom friction coefficient. While the numerical solutions as compared to the asymptotic solutions in [1] agree well in the stationary case, there were major differences found in the transient solutions.

Principal vectors of a nonlinear finite-dimensional eigenvalue problem

In a finite-dimensional linear space, consider a nonlinear eigenvalue problem analytic with respect to its spectral parameter. The notion of a principal vector for such a problem is examined. For a linear eigenvalue problem, this notion is identical to the conventional definition of principal vectors. It is proved that the maximum number of linearly independent eigenvectors combined with principal (associated) vectors in the corresponding chains is equal to the multiplicity of an eigenvalue. A numerical method for constructing such chains is given.     

Asymptotic Analysis of Localized Solutions to Some Linear and Nonlinear Biharmonic Eigenvalue Problems

In an arbitrary bounded 2‐D domain, a singular perturbation approach is developed to analyze the asymptotic behavior of several biharmonic linear and nonlinear eigenvalue problems for which the solution exhibits a concentration behavior either due to a hole in the domain, or as a result of a nonlinearity that is nonnegligible only in some localized region in the domain. The specific form for the biharmonic nonlinear eigenvalue problem is motivated by the study of the steady‐state deflection of one of the two surfaces in a Micro‐Electro‐Mechanical System capacitor. The linear eigenvalue problem that is considered is to calculate the spectrum of the biharmonic operator in a domain with an interior hole of asymptotically small radius. One key novel feature in the analysis of our singularly perturbed biharmonic problems, which is absent in related second‐order elliptic problems, is that a point constraint must be imposed on the leading order outer solution to asymptotically match inner and outer representations of the solution. Our asymptotic analysis also relies heavily on the use of logarithmic switchback terms, notorious in the study of Low Reynolds number fluid flow, and on detailed properties of the biharmonic Green’s function and its associated regular part near the singularity. For a few simple domains, full numerical solutions to the biharmonic problems are computed to verify the asymptotic results obtained from the analysis.     

Acceleration of two-grid stabilized mixed finite element method for the Stokes eigenvalue problem

This paper provides an accelerated two-grid stabilized mixed finite element scheme for the Stokes eigenvalue problem based on the pressure projection. With the scheme, the solution of the Stokes eigenvalue problem on a fine grid is reduced to the solution of the Stokes eigenvalue problem on a much coarser grid and the solution of a linear algebraic system on the fine grid. By solving a slightly different linear problem on the fine grid, the new algorithm significantly improves the theoretical error estimate which allows a much coarser mesh to achieve the same asymptotic convergence rate. Finally, numerical experiments are shown to verify the high efficiency and the theoretical results of the new method.     

Numerical stabilization from the boundary for solutions of a model one-dimensional of a model one-Dimensional RBMK reactor

The problem of construction of first kind boundary conditions providing an asymptotic change of the trivial solution of a model one-dimensional RBMK reactor to the required stationary state is numerically studied according to specific features of this model. Results of calculations are presented for different admissible modes. The principal feasibility of efficient stabilization of the dynamics of occurring processes by boundary control of fast and slow neutrons is shown as well as its essential slow-down in the control of only fast neutrons.     

Asymptotic Analysis of Spectral Properties of Finite Capacity Processor Shared Queues

We consider sojourn (or response) times in processor‐shared queues that have a finite customer capacity. Computing the response time of a tagged customer involves solving a finite system of linear ODEs. Writing the system in matrix form, we study the eigenvectors and eigenvalues in the limit as the size of the matrix becomes large. This corresponds to finite capacity models where the system can only hold a large number K of customers. Using asymptotic methods we reduce the eigenvalue problem to that of a standard differential equation, such as the Airy equation. The dominant eigenvalue leads to the tail of a customer's sojourn time distribution. Some numerical results are given to assess the accuracy of the asymptotic results.     

Stability of stationary solutions of piecewise affine differential equations describing gene regulatory networks

We study stability properties of a class of piecewise affine systems of ordinary differential equations arising in the modeling of gene regulatory networks. Our method goes back to the concept of a Filippov stationary solution (in the narrow sense) to a differential inclusion corresponding to the system in question. The main result of the paper justifies a reduction principle in the stability analysis enabling to omit the variables that are not singular, i.e. that stay away from the discontinuity set of the system. We suggest also “the first approximation method” to study asymptotic stability of stationary solutions based on calculating the principal part of the system, which is 0-homogeneous rather than linear. This leads to an efficient algorithm of how to check asymptotic stability without calculating the eigenvalues of the system?s Jacobian. In Appendix A we discuss and compare two other concepts of stationary solutions to the system in question.
