Using the variational structure and the Z ₂ group index theory we establish the existence of subharmonic solutions and homoclinic solutions for a class of even higher order differential equation.     

General spectral flow formula for fixed maximal domain

We consider a continuous curve of linear elliptic formally self-adjoint differential operators of first order with smooth coefficients over a compact Riemannian manifold with boundary together with a continuous curve of global elliptic boundary value problems. We express the spectral flow of the resulting continuous family of (unbounded) self-adjoint Fredholm operators in terms of the Maslov index of two related curves of Lagrangian spaces. One curve is given by the varying domains, the other by the Cauchy data spaces. We provide rigorous definitions of the underlying concepts of spectral theory and symplectic analysis and give a full (and surprisingly short) proof of our General Spectral Flow Formula for the case of fixed maximal domain. As a side result, we establish local stability of weak inner unique continuation property (UCP) and explain its role for parameter dependent spectral theory.

The closure diagram for nilpotent orbits of the split real form of E8

Let and be adjoint nilpotent orbits in a real semisimple Lie algebra. Write ≥ if is contained in the closure of . This defines a partial order on the set of such orbits, known as the closure ordering. We determine this order for the split real form of the simple complex Lie algebra, E ₈. The proof is based on the fact that the Kostant-Sekiguchi correspondence preserves the closure ordering. We also present a comprehensive list of simple representatives of these orbits, and list the irreeducible components of the boundaries and of the intersections .     

Energy identity of the heat flow of H -systems at finite singular time

It is well known that there exists a global solution to the heat flow of H-systems. If the solution satisfies a certain energy inequality, it is global regular with at most finitely many singularities. Under the same energy inequality, we can show the energy identity of the heat flow of H-systems at finite singular time. The most interesting thing in our proof is that we find the singular points can only occur in the interior of the set in some sense.

The existence of subharmonic solutions with prescribed minimal period for forced pendulum equations with impulses

In this paper, we study the existence of subharmonic solutions with prescribed minimal period for forced pendulum equations with impulses via variational methods and critical point theory. We give new sufficient conditions for the existence of subharmonic solutions with prescribed minimal period of forced pendulum equations. Our results improve some known results in the literature.     

Solitary wave and other solutions for nonlinear heat equations

A number of explicit solutions for the heat equation with a polynomial non-linearity and for the Fisher equation is presented. An extended class of non-linear heat equations admitting solitary wave solutions is described. The generalization of the Fisher equation is proposed whose solutions propagate with arbitrary ad hoc fixed velocity.     

The bifurcation of homoclinic orbits from two heteroclinic orbits-a topological approach

Conditions are found for a homoclinic orbit to bifurcate from a heteroclinic loop for autonomous ordinary differential equations. The results axe applied to prove the existence of traveling wave solutions of the FitzHugh-Nagumo equations and a system of reaction diffusion equations which arise as a model for a two step combustion process.     

Subharmonic solutions bifurcated from homoclinic orbits for weakly coupled singular systems

The problem of bifurcation from homoclinic solution towards periodic solution was considered for weekly coupled singular systems. By using functional analytic approach based on the Lyapunov–Schmidt reduction, we obtained some functions H:R^d-1×R→R^d$H:R^{d-1}\times R\to R^d$. The simple roots of the equations, H(α,β)=0$H(\alpha ,\beta )=0$, correspond to the existence of subharmonic solutions. And if the vector field is 2-period, then for any integer m  , the weakly coupled singular system has 2m$2m$-period solution.     

Global solutions of the Navier-Stokes equation with strong viscosity

Following Ebin and Marsden the Navier-Stokes equation is viewed as a perturbation of a geodesic flow on the group of volume preserving diffeomorphisms on a compact Riemannian manifold. Existence and uniqueness of bounded solutions for all position time is shown by taking a higher order diffusion term.Partial y supported by Alexander von Humboldt Foundation     

Plateau of α-function and c-minimal homoclinic orbits

We consider the construction of the plateau of the α-function in a hyperbolic and positive definite Lagrangian system, and link the boundries of the α-function’s plateau with the distribution of c-minimal homoclinic orbits to Aubry sets.     

Homoclinic orbits for a perturbed quintic-cubic nonlinear Schrödinger equation

The existence of homoclinic orbits for a perturbed cubic-quintic nonlinear Schrödinger equation with even periodic boundary conditions under the generalized parameters conditions is established. We combined geometric singular perturbation theory, Melnikov analysis, and integrable theory to prove the persistence of homoclinic orbits.     

Homoclinic orbits for Hamiltonian systems induced by impulses

In this paper, we consider a class of impulsive Hamiltonian systems with a p‐Laplacian operator. Under certain conditions, we establish the existence of homoclinic orbits by means of the mountain pass theorem and an approximation technique. In some special cases, the homoclinic orbits are induced by the impulses in the sense that the associated non‐impulsive systems admit no non‐trivial homoclinic orbits.

On regular polynomial endomorphisms of ℂ<Superscript>2</Superscript> without bounded critical orbitswithout bounded critical orbits

The conjugate heat equation and Ancient solutions of the Ricci flow

We prove Gaussian type bounds for the fundamental solution of the conjugate heat equation evolving under the Ricci flow. As a consequence, for dimension 4 and higher, we show that the backward limit of Type I κ-solutions of the Ricci flow must be a non-flat gradient shrinking Ricci soliton. This extends Perelman?s previous result on backward limits of κ-solutions in dimension 3, in which case the curvature operator is nonnegative (it follows from Hamilton–Ivey curvature pinching estimate). As an application, this also addresses an issue left in Naber (2010) [23], where Naber proves the interesting result that there exists a Type I dilation limit that converges to a gradient shrinking Ricci soliton, but that soliton might be flat. The Gaussian bounds that we obtain on the fundamental solution of the conjugate heat equation under evolving metric might be of independent interest.     

The heat flow and harmonic maps between complete manifolds

We consider the existence, uniqueness and convergence for the long time solution to the harmonic map heat equation between two complete noncompact Riemannian manifolds, where the target manifold is assumed to have nonpositive curvature. As an application, we solve the Dirichlet problem at infinity for proper harmonic maps between two hyperbolic manifolds for a class of boundary maps. The boundary map under consideration has finite many points at which either it is not differentiable or has vanishing energy density.

Natural convective boundary-layer flow in a heat generating porous medium with a prescribed wall heat flux

The free convection boundary-layer flow on a vertical surface in a porous medium with local heat generation proportional to (T – T_∞)^p, where T is the local temperature and T_∞ is the ambient temperature, is considered when the surface is thermally insulated. The way in which the flow develops from the leading edge is seen to depend critically on the exponent p. For p ≤ 2 there is a boundary-layer flow for all x > 0, where x measures distance from the leading edge, with the internal heating having a significant effect at large x. For p ≥ 5 there is also a boundary-layer flow to large x but now the internal heating has an increasingly weaker effect as x increases. For 2 < p <  5 the boundary-layer solution breaks down at a finite x, with a singularity developing leading to thermal runaway at a finite distance along the surface.
