The solvability conditions for inverse eigenproblem of symmetric and anti‐persymmetric matrices and its approximation

The problem of generating a matrix A with specified eigen‐pair, where A is a symmetric and anti‐persymmetric matrix, is presented. An existence theorem is given and proved. A general expression of such a matrix is provided. We denote the set of such matrices by ??????_Eⁿ. The optimal approximation problem associated with ??????_Eⁿ is discussed, that is: to find the nearest matrix to a given matrix A* by A∈??????_Eⁿ. The existence and uniqueness of the optimal approximation problem is proved and the expression is provided for this nearest matrix. Copyright © 2002 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

A monotone iterative scheme for a nonlinear second order equation based on a generalized anti–maximum principle

In this paper, a generalized anti–maximum principle for the second order differential operator with potentials is proved. As an application, we will give a monotone iterative scheme for periodic solutions of nonlinear second order equations. Such a scheme involves the L^p norms of the growth, 1 ≤ p ≤ ∞, while the usual one is just the case p = ∞.     

Structure of Regular Solutions of the Three-Body Schrödinger Equation near the Pair Impact Point

We investigate the six-dimensional Schrödinger equation for a three-body system with central pair interactions of a more general form than Coulomb interactions. Regular general and special physical solutions of this equation are represented by infinite asymptotic series in integer powers of the distance between two particles and in the sought functions of the other three-body coordinates. Constructing such functions in angular bases composed of spherical and bispherical harmonics or symmetrized Wigner D-functions is reduced to solving simple recursive algebraic equations. For projections of physical solutions on the angular bases functions, we derive boundary conditions at the pair impact point.     

Blow-up solutions of nonlinear elliptic equations in ℝ<Superscript><Emphasis Type="Italic">n</Emphasis></Superscript> with critical exponent <Emphasis Type="Italic">Dedicated to Philippe Dufour,whose exquisite horology artwork ‘‘Simplicity’’ inspires so much.</Emphasis>

For an integer n3 and any positive number , we establish the existence of smooth functions K on ⁿ {0} with |K–1|, such that the equation has a smooth positive solution which blows up at the origin (i.e., u does not have slow decay near the origin). Furthermore, we show that in some situations K can be extended as a Lipschitz function on ⁿ . These provide counter-examples to a conjecture of C.-S. Lin when n>4, and a question of Taliaferro.

Higher-Order Convex Approximations of Young Measures in Optimal Control

The general theory of approximation of (possibly generalized) Young measures is presented, and concrete cases are investigated. An adjoint-operator approach, combined with quasi-interpolation of test integrands, is systematically used. Applicability is demonstrated on an optimal control problem for an elliptic system, together with one-dimensional illustrative calculations of various options.

LINEAR SEARCH FOR A BROWNIAN TARGET MOTION

A target is assumed to move according to a Brownian motion on the real line. The searcher starts from the origin and moves in the two directions from the starting point.The object is to detect the target. The purpose of this paper is to find the conditions under which the expected value of the first meeting time of the searcher and the target is finite,and to show the existence of a search plan which made this expected value minimum.

This paper studies the problem of uniformly dissipative solutions of somefifth order non-linear differential equations by the use of frequency domaintechnique. We use the generalized theorem of Yacubovich on dissipativity toobtain some new sufficient conditions of the existence of solutions that aredissipative for (1.1) and (1.2).
