Global W2,p (2<=p

This paper studies the initial-boundary value problem of GBBM equations u_t - Δu_t = div f(u) \qquad\qquad\qquad(a) u(x, 0) = u_0(x)\qquad\qquad\qquad(b) u |∂Ω = 0 \qquad\qquad\qquad(c) in arbitrary dimensions, Ω ⊂ R^n. Suppose that. f(s) ∈ C¹ and |f'(s)| ≤ C (1+|s|^ϒ), 0 ≤ ϒ ≤ \frac{2}{n-2} if n ≥ 3, 0 ≤ ϒ < ∞ if n = 2, u_0 (x) ∈ W^{2⋅p}(Ω) ∩ W^{1⋅p}_0(Ω) (2 ≤ p < ∞), then ∀T > 0 there exists a unique global W^{2⋅p} solution u ∈ W^{1,∞}(0, T; W{2⋅p}(Ω)∩ W^{1⋅p}_0(Ω)), so the known results are generalized and improved essentially.     

A Variational Approach to a Kirchhoff-type Problem Involving Two Parameters

In this paper, the authors establish the existence of at least three weak solutions for the Kirchhoff-type problem $$\left\{\begin{array}{ll}-K \left( \int_{\Omega}| \nabla u(x)|^{2}dx \right) \Delta u(x)= \lambda f(x,u)+\mu g(x,u),\quad {\rm in}\; \Omega,\\u=0, \qquad\qquad\qquad\qquad\qquad\qquad\qquad\qquad\qquad\quad\quad {\rm on}\; \partial \Omega, \end{array} \right.$$ under appropriate hypotheses. The proofs are based on variational methods.

Projective curves of degree=codimension+2

In this article we study nondegenerate projective curves of degree d which are not arithmetically Cohen-Macaulay. Note that for a rational normal curve and a point . Our main result is about the relation between the geometric properties of X and the position of P with respect to . We show that the graded Betti numbers of X are uniquely determined by the rank of P with respect to . In particular, X satisfies property N _2,p if and only if . Therefore property N _2,p of X is controlled by and conversely can be read off from the minimal free resolution of X. This result provides a non-linearly normal example for which the converse to Theorem 1.1 in (Eisenbud et al., Compositio Math 141:1460–1478, 2005) holds. Also our result implies that for nondegenerate projective curves of degree d which are not arithmetically Cohen–Macaulay, there are exactly distinct Betti tables.     

Multiple solutions for a class of Kirchhoff type problems with concave nonlinearity

In the present paper, by applying variant mountain pass theorem and Ekeland variational principle we study the existence of multiple nontrivial solutions for a class of Kirchhoff type problems with concave nonlinearity $$ \left\{\begin{array}{ll} -(a + b \int\nolimits_{\Omega} |\nabla{u}|^{2})\triangle{u} = \alpha(x)|u|^{q-2}u + f(x, u),\quad{\rm in}\;\Omega,\\ u = 0,\;\quad\qquad\quad\qquad\qquad\qquad\qquad\qquad\qquad\qquad{\rm on}\;\partial\Omega, \end{array} \right. $$ A new existence theorem and an interesting corollary of four nontrivial solutions are obtained.     

A STRASSEN LAW OF THE ITERATED LOGARITHM FOR PROCESSES WITH INDEPENDENT INCREMENTS

Let X = {X(t), t ＞- 0} be a process with independent increments (PII) such that E|X(t)| = 0, Dx(t) ∧= E[X(t)^2 &lt; ∞, limt→∞ Dx(t)/t = 1,and there exists a majoring measure G for the jump △X of X. Under these assumptions, using rather a direct method, a Strassen‘s law of the iterated logarithm (Strassen LIL) is established. As some special cases, the Strassen LIL for homogeneous PII and for partial sum process of i.i.d, random variables are comprised.     

On the functional equation x + f(y + f(x))=y + f(x + f(y))

For an abelian group (G, + ,0) we consider the functional equation $$f : G \to G, x + f(y + f(x)) = y + f(x + f(y)) \quad (\forall x, y \in G), \quad\quad\qquad (1)$$ most times together with the condition $$f(0) = 0.\qquad\qquad\qquad\qquad\qquad (0)$$ Our main question is whether a solution of ${(1) \wedge (0)}$ must be additive, i.e., an endomorphism of G. We shall answer this question in the negative (Example 3.14) Rätz (Aequationes Math 81:300, 2011).

Decreasing Regularly Varying Solutions of Sublinearly Perturbed Superlinear Thomas–Fermi Equation

We consider the perturbed Thomas–Fermi equation $$\begin{array}{ll} x^{\prime \prime}\, =\, p(t)|x|^{\gamma-1}x\, +\, q(t)|x|^{\delta-1}x, \qquad \qquad \qquad (A) \end{array}$$ where δ and γ are positive constants with \({\delta < 1 < \gamma}\) and p(t) and q(t) are positive continuous functions on \({[a,\infty), a > 0}\) . Our aim here is to establish criteria for the existence of positive solutions of (A) decreasing to zero as \({t \to \infty}\) in the case where p(t) and q(t) are regularly varying functions (in the sense of Karamata). Generalization of the obtained results to equations of the form $$\begin{array}{ll} \left(r(t)x^{\prime}\right)^{\prime}\, =\, p(t)|x|^{\gamma-1}x \,+ \,q(t)|x|^{\delta-1}x, \qquad \qquad \qquad (B) \end{array}$$ is also given.

We show that there are an abundance of non-homogeneous global solutions to the obstacle problem, in the half-space, with a (fixed) homogeneous boundary condition As a consequence we obtain local instability of the free boundary under C^1,1 perturbation, of the Dirichlet data.

General decay and blow-up of solutions for a viscoelastic equation with nonlinear boundary damping-source interactions

In this paper, a viscoelastic equation with nonlinear boundary damping and source terms of the form $$\begin{array}{llll}u_{tt}(t)-\Delta u(t)+\displaystyle\int\limits_{0}^{t}g(t-s)\Delta u(s){\rm d}s=a\left\vert u\right\vert^{p-1}u,\quad{\rm in}\,\Omega\times(0,\infty), \\ \qquad\qquad\qquad\qquad\qquad u=0,\,{\rm on}\,\Gamma_{0} \times(0,\infty),\\ \dfrac{\partial u}{\partial\nu}-\displaystyle\int\limits_{0}^{t}g(t-s)\frac{\partial}{\partial\nu}u(s){\rm d}s+h(u_{t})=b\left\vert u\right\vert ^{k-1}u,\quad{\rm on} \ \Gamma_{1} \times(0,\infty) \\ \qquad\qquad\qquad\qquad u(0)=u^{0},u_{t}(0)=u^{1},\quad x\in\Omega, \end{array}$$ is considered in a bounded domain ??. Under appropriate assumptions imposed on the source and the damping, we establish both existence of solutions and uniform decay rate of the solution energy in terms of the behavior of the nonlinear feedback and the relaxation function g, without setting any restrictive growth assumptions on the damping at the origin and weakening the usual assumptions on the relaxation function g. Moreover, for certain initial data in the unstable set, the finite time blow-up phenomenon is exhibited.     

Constructions of Large Graphs on Surfaces

We consider the degree/diameter problem for graphs embedded in a surface, namely, given a surface Σ and integers Δ and k, determine the maximum order N(Δ,k,Σ) of a graph embeddable in Σ with maximum degree Δ and diameter k. We introduce a number of constructions which produce many new largest known planar and toroidal graphs. We record all these graphs in the available tables of largest known graphs. Given a surface Σ of Euler genus g and an odd diameter k, the current best asymptotic lower bound for N(Δ,k,Σ) is given by $$\sqrt{\frac{3}{8}}g \Delta^{\lfloor k/2 \rfloor}.$$ Our constructions produce new graphs of order $$\left\{\begin{array}{ll}6 \Delta^{\lfloor k/2 \rfloor} \qquad \qquad \qquad \qquad {\rm if \Sigma\;is\;the\;Klein\;bottle} \\ \left(\frac{7}{2} + \sqrt{6g + \frac{1}{4}}\right) \Delta^{\lfloor k/2 \rfloor} \quad {\rm otherwise},\end{array}\right.$$ thus improving the former value.

On Generalized Affine Rotation Surfaces

From group-theoretical point of view, we discuss affine rotation surfaces in R³ and projective rotation surfaces in RP³. These pave a way toward generalized affine rotation surfaces in R³. We will follow closely the modern approach introduced by Nomizu in the study affine differential geometry [N]. In this paper, we have the following results on generalized affine rotation surfaces:

1. Many nice properties showing duality between x² + y² = g²(z) and x² ? y² = g²(z).
2. In this set, any surface with zero Pick invariant is a quadratic surface.
3. Excluding the Caley surface z = xy ? x³/3 and the surface z = xy + log x, any affine unimodular homogeneous surface belongs to this set.
4. In this set, the following surfaces are characterized by some affine invariants: $${\matrix{x^{2}+\epsilon\ y^{2}=z \cr \qquad \qquad \qquad \qquad \qquad \qquad \qquad y^{2}=z(x+\epsilon\ (z+a)^{2/3}(z+6a)),\cr \qquad \qquad \qquad \ \ \ y^{2}=z(x+\epsilon\ z^{3}),\cr \qquad \qquad \ \ \ \ \ \ y^{2}=x+\epsilon\ z^{2/3},\cr \qquad \qquad \ \ \ \ \ \ \ y^{2}=x+\epsilon\ z^{-2/3},\cr \qquad \qquad \ \ \ y^{2}=x+\epsilon\ {\rm log}z,\cr}} $$ where ? represents 1 or ?1 in this paper.
