Non-dual fuzzy connections

The lack of double negation and de Morgan properties makes fuzzy logic unsymmetrical. This is the reason why fuzzy versions of notions like closure operator or Galois connection deserve attention for both antiotone and isotone cases, these two cases not being dual. This paper offers them attention, comming to the following conclusions: – some kind of hardly describable local preduality still makes possible important parallel results; – interesting new concepts besides antitone and isotone ones (like, for instance, conjugated pair), that were classically reducible to the first, gain independency in fuzzy setting.     

Quasilinear elliptic equations on $$\mathbb{R}^N $$with infinitely many solutions

We give verifiable conditions ensuring that second order quasilinear elliptic equations on have infinitely many solutions in the Sobolev space for generic right-hand sides. This amounts to translating in concrete terms the more elusive hypotheses of an abstract theorem. Salient points include the proof that a key denseness property is equivalent to the existence of nontrivial solutions to an auxiliary problem, and an estimate of the size of the set of critical points of nonlinear Schrödinger operators. Conditions for the real-analyticity of Nemytskii operators are also discussed.

A note on a paper by G. Mastroianni and G. Monegato

Recently, Mastroianni and Monegato derived error estimates for a numerical approach to evaluate the integral

where or or and is a smooth function (see G. Mastroianni and G. Monegato, Error estimates in the numerical evaluation of some BEM singular integrals, Math. Comp. 70 2001, 251-267). The error bounds for the quadrature rule approximating the inner integral given in Theorems 3, 4 of that paper are not correct according to the proof. However, following a different approach, we are able to improve the pointwise error estimates given in that paper.

     

The identity is isolated among composition operators

Let be the Banach algebra of bounded holomorphic functions on the open unit ball of a Banach space. We show that the identity operator is an isolated point in the space of composition operators on . This answers a conjecture of Aron, Galindo and Lindström.

     

regularizing effect in a nonlinear, degenerate parabolic equation in one space dimension

In this paper we provide and analyze a nonlinear degenerate parabolic equation in one space dimension with the following smoothing property: If the initial data is only uniformly continuous, at positive times, the solution has bounded second derivatives (it belongs to ). We call this surprising phenomenon a regularizing effect. So far, such phenomena have only been observed in uniformly parabolic equations.

     

Semilinear parabolic equations involving measures and low regularity data

A detailed study of abstract semilinear evolution equations of the form is undertaken, where generates an analytic semigroup and is a Banach space valued measure depending on the solution. Then it is shown that the general theorems apply to a variety of semilinear parabolic boundary value problems involving measures in the interior and on the boundary of the domain. These results extend far beyond the known results in this field. A particularly new feature is the fact that the measures may depend nonlinearly and possibly nonlocally on the solution.

Non-linear Semigroup of a Class of Abstract Semilinear Functional Differential Equations with a Non-Dense Domain

In this work, we are concerned with a general class of abstract semilinear autonomous functional differential equations with a non-dense domain on a Banach space. Our objective is to study, using the Crandall-Liggett approach, the solutions as a semigroup of non-linear operators.     

A characterization of the Hamiltonian

The classical Hamiltonian ) of the very classical quantum harmonic oscillator, which is regarded as a germ of the most of what comes about in quantum mechanics, can be sublimed to an abstract operator in a separable Hilbert space. Having this done one may ask for a condition which would allow it to be identified among operators of a suitable class. This class is that corresponding to three diagonal matrices and the property which makes the action successful is a kind of diagonal invariance (up to change of basis) within the class in question.
