Carleman estimates and unique continuation property for the anisotropic differential-operator equations

The unique continuation theorems for the anisotropic partial differential-operator equations with variable coeffcients in Banach-valued Lp-spaces are studied.To obtain the uniform maximal regularity and the Carleman type estimates for parameter depended differential-operator equations,the suffcient conditions are founded.By using these facts,the unique continuation properties are established.In the application part,the unique continuation properties and Carleman estimates for finite or infinite systems of quasielliptic partial differential equations are studied.

The spectral method and numerical continuation algorithm for the von Kármán problem with postbuckling behaviour of solutions

In this paper a spectral method and a numerical continuation algorithm for solving eigenvalue problems for the rectangular von Kármán plate with different boundary conditions (simply supported, partially or totally clamped) and physical parameters are introduced. The solution of these problems has a postbuckling behaviour. The spectral method is based on a variational principle (Galerkin’s approach) with a choice of global basis functions which are combinations of trigonometric functions. Convergence results of this method are proved and the rate of convergence is estimated. The discretized nonlinear model is treated by Newton’s iterative scheme and numerical continuation. Branches of eigenfunctions found by the algorithm are traced. Numerical results of solving the problems for polygonal and ferroconcrete plates are presented. Communicated by A. Zhou.     

Apollonius coordinates,theN-body problem,and continuation of periodic solutions

This paper treats theN-body problem and its relation to various restricted problems. For each solution of the Kepler problem a generalization of the pulsating coordinates used to express the Hamiltonian of the elliptic restricted three-body problem is given. These coordinates are called Apollonius coordinates. The method of symplectic scaling is used to give a precise derivation of the elliptic restricted problem showing the precise asymptotic relationship between the restricted problem and the full three-body problem. This derivation obviates the proof of the fact that a nondegenerate periodic solution of the elliptic restricted three-body problem can be continued into the full three-body problem under mild nonresonance assumptions. Also, the method of symplectic scaling is used to give a precise derivation of the elliptic Hill lunar equation showing the precise relationship between the elliptic Hill lunar equation and the full three-body problem. A similar continuation theorem is established.

Let be a bounded open domain of . Let denote the outward unit normal of . We assume that the Steklov problem Δu = 0 in and on has a simple eigenvalue of . Then we consider an annular domain obtained by removing from a small‐cavity size of ε > 0, and we show that under proper assumptions there exists a real valued and real analytic function defined in an open neighborhood of (0,0) in and such that is a simple eigenvalue for the Steklov problem Δu = 0 in and on for all ε > 0 small enough, and such that . Here denotes the outward unit normal of , and δ_2,2 ≡ 1 and δ_2,n ≡ 0 if n ≥ 3. Then related statements have been proved for corresponding eigenfunctions.

Equivalent conditions on periodic feedback stabilization for linear periodic evolution equations

This paper studies the periodic feedback stabilization for a class of linear T  -periodic evolution equations. Several equivalent conditions on the linear periodic feedback stabilization are obtained. These conditions are related to the following subjects: the attainable subspace of the controlled evolution equation under consideration; the unstable subspace (of the evolution equation with the null control) provided by the Kato projection; the Poincaré map associated with the evolution equation with the null control; and two unique continuation properties for the dual equations on different time horizons [0,T]$[0,T]$ and [0,_n0T]$[0,n_{0}T]$ (where _n0$n_0$ is the sum of algebraic multiplicities of distinct unstable eigenvalues of the Poincaré map). It is also proved that a T-periodic controlled evolution equation is linear T-periodic feedback stabilizable if and only if it is linear T-periodic feedback stabilizable with respect to a finite-dimensional subspace. Some applications to heat equations with time-periodic potentials are presented.

Global unique continuation from a half space for the Schrödinger equation

We obtain a global unique continuation result for the differential inequality |(i_∂t+Δ)u|?|V(x)u|$|(i{\partial }_t+\mathrm{\Delta })u|?|V(x)u|$ in Rⁿ⁺¹${\mathbb{R}}^{n+1}$. This is the first result on global unique continuation for the Schrödinger equation with time-independent potentials V(x)$V(x)$ in Rⁿ${\mathbb{R}}^n$. Our method is based on a new type of Carleman estimates for the operator i_∂t+Δ$i{\partial }_t+\mathrm{\Delta }$ on Rⁿ⁺¹${\mathbb{R}}^{n+1}$. As a corollary of the result, we also obtain a new unique continuation result for some parabolic equations.
