Free limits of forcing and more on Aronszajn trees

We prove that the Souslin Hypothesis does not imply “every Aron. (=Aronszajn) tree is special”. For this end we introduce variants of the notion “special Aron. tree”. We also introduce a limit of forcings bigger than the inverse limit, and prove it preserves properness and related notions not less than inverse limit, and the proof is easier in some respects. The result was announced in [9]. The author thanks Uri Avraham for detecting many errors.     

On the thermodynamic limit for Hartree–Fock type models

We continue here our study [10–13] of the thermodynamic limit for various models of Quantum Chemistry, this time focusing on the Hartree–Fock type models. For the reduced Hartree–Fock models, we prove the existence of the thermodynamic limit for the energy per unit volume. We also define a periodic problem associated to the Hartree–Fock model, and prove that it is well-posed.     

Effective construction of Poincar\'e--Bendixson regions

This paper deals with the problem of location and existence of limit cycles for real planar polynomial differential systems. We provide a method to construct Poincar\''e--Bendixson regions by using transversal curves, that enables us to prove the existence of a limit cycle that has been numerically detected. We apply our results to several known systems, like the Brusselator one or some Li\''{e}nard systems, to prove the existence of the limit cycles and to locate them very precisely in the phase space. Our method, combined with some other classical tools can be applied to obtain sharp bounds for the bifurcation values of a saddle-node bifurcation of limit cycles, as we do for the Rychkov system.     

Multiple limit cycle bifurcations of the FitzHugh–Nagumo neuronal model

In this paper, we complete the global qualitative analysis of the well-known FitzHugh–Nagumo neuronal model. In particular, studying global limit cycle bifurcations and applying the Wintner–Perko termination principle for multiple limit cycles, we prove that the corresponding dynamical system has at most two limit cycles.     

Initial segments of computable linear orders with computable natural relations

We study the algorithmic complexity of natural relations on initial segments of computable linear orders. We prove that there exists a computable linear order with computable density relation such that its Π₁⁰-initial segment has no computable presentation with a computable density relation. We also prove that the same holds for a right limit and a left limit relations.     

An almost sure limit theorem for random sums of independent random variables in the domain of attraction of a semistable law

In this paper we prove an almost sure limit theorem for random sums of independent random variables in the domain of attraction of a p-semistable law and describe the limit law.     

A note on the almost sure limit theorem for the product of partial sums

We present an almost sure limit theorem for the product of the partial sums of i.i.d. positive random variables. We also prove a corresponding almost sure limit theorem for a triangular array.     

Nonrelativistic Limit of Scattering Theory for Nonlinear Klein-Gordon Equations

We study the nonrelativistic limit of the nonlinear Klein-Gordon equation and prove that the wave operators, the inverses of them, and the scattering operator for the naturally modulated equation converge to those for the singular limit, the nonlinear Schrödinger equation.     

Inviscid limit for axisymmetric flows without swirl in a critical Besov space

In this paper, we study the inviscid limit for the 3-D axisymmetric incompressible fluid flows without swirl and prove the convergence rate. We will also prove the uniform persistence of the initial regularity for 3-D axisymmetric Navier–Stokes equations in a critical Besov space.     

Convergence of polynomial ergodic averages

We prove theL ² convergence for an ergodic average of a product of functions evaluated along polynomial times in a totally ergodic system. For each set of polynomials, we show that there is a particular factor, which is an inverse limit of nilsystems, that controls the limit behavior of the average. For a general system, we prove the convergence for certain families of polynomials.

Limiting domain wall energy for a problem related to micromagnetics

We study the asymptotic limit of a family of functionals related to the theory of micromagnetics in two dimensions. We prove a compactness result for families of uniformly bounded energy. After studying the corresponding one‐dimensional profiles, we exhibit the Γ‐limit (“wall energy”), which is a variational problem on the folding of solutions of the eikonal equation |∇g| = 1. We prove that the minimal wall energy is twice the perimeter. © 2001 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.     

Topological conjugation and asymptotic stability in impulsive semidynamical systems

We prove several results concerning topological conjugation of two impulsive semidynamical systems. In particular, we prove that the homeomorphism which defines the topological conjugation takes impulsive points to impulsive points; it also preserves limit sets, prolongational limit sets and properties as the minimality of positive impulsive orbits as well as stability and invariance with respect to the impulsive system. We also present the concepts of attraction and asymptotic stability in this setting and prove some related results.     

An arithmetic model for the total disorder process

We prove a multidimensional extension of Selberg’s central limit theorem for the logarithm of the Riemann zeta function on the critical line. The limit is a totally disordered process, whose coordinates are all independent and Gaussian.      

Limit theorems on locally compact Abelian groups

We prove limit theorems for row sums of a rowwise independent infinitesimal array of random variables with values in a locally compact Abelian group. First we give a proof of Gaiser's theorem [4, Satz 1.3.6], since it does not have an easy access and it is not complete. This theorem gives sufficient conditions for convergence of the row sums, but the limit measure cannot have a nondegenerate idempotent factor. Then we prove necessary and sufficient conditions for convergence of the row sums, where the limit measure can be also a nondegenerate Haar measure on a compact subgroup. Finally, we investigate special cases: the torus group, the group of p ‐adic integers and the p ‐adic solenoid. (© 2008 WILEY‐VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim)     

Ratio limit theorem for parabolic horn-shaped domains

We prove that for horn-shaped domains of parabolic type, the ratio of the heat kernel at different fixed points has a limit when the time tends to infinity. We also give an explicit formula for the limit in terms of the harmonic functions.

     

Limit models in metric abstract elementary classes: the categorical case

We study versions of limit models adapted to the context of metric abstract elementary classes. Under categoricity and superstability‐like assumptions, we generalize some theorems from 7 , 15 - 17 . We prove criteria for existence and uniqueness of limit models in the metric context.     

Individual ergodic theorem for unitary maps of random matrices

Using simple techniques of finite von Neumann algebras, we prove a limit theorem for random matrices.

     

Central limit theorem for a class of one-dimensional kinetic equations

We introduce a class of kinetic-type equations on the real line, which constitute extensions of the classical Kac caricature. The collisional gain operators are defined by smoothing transformations with rather general properties. By establishing a connection to the central limit problem, we are able to prove long-time convergence of the equation??s solutions toward a limit distribution. For example, we prove that if the initial condition belongs to the domain of normal attraction of a certain stable law ?? _??, then the limit is a scale mixture of ?? _??. Under some additional assumptions, explicit exponential rates for the convergence to equilibrium in Wasserstein metrics are calculated, and strong convergence of the probability densities is shown.     

The Self-similar Solution for Ginzburg-Landau Equation and Its Limit Behavior in Besov Spaces

In this paper, we study the limit behavior of self-similar solutions for the Complex Ginzburg-Landau (CGL) equation in the nonstandard function space E_{s,p}. We prove the uniform existence of the solutions for the CGL equation and its limit equation in E_{s,p}. Moreover we show that the self-similar solutions of CGL equation converge, globally in time, to those of its limit equation as the parameters tend to zero. Key Words Ginzburg-Landau equation; Schrödinger equation; self-similar solution; limit behavior.     

Existence of a Global Classical Solution of One Problem Arising in Combustion Theory

We consider a multidimensional free-boundary problem for a parabolic equation that arises in combustion theory. We prove the existence of a global classical solution. The idea of the method is as follows: first, we perform the differential–difference approximation of the problem and establish its solvability; then we prove uniform estimates and perform a limit transition.
