Analogues of Coherent and Dissipative Structures in Social and Historical Processes

An analogy between social and hydrodynamic processes is developed. The relation of the state system to the passionarity theory suggested by L. N. Gumilev is discussed.

Contractivity and Analyticity in l p of Some Approximation of the Heat Equation

We consider the lumped mass method with piecewise linear finite elements in two dimensions. When the triangulation is of Delaunay type it is known that the discrete scheme satisfies a maximum principle. In this work we pursue the analysis and prove that the discrete semi-group is l ^p contractive in a sector, which implies smoothing effects and provide some resolvent estimates.     

Sobolev bounds on functions with scattered zeros, with applications to radial basis function surface fitting

In this paper we discuss Sobolev bounds on functions that vanish at scattered points in a bounded, Lipschitz domain that satisfies a uniform interior cone condition. The Sobolev spaces involved may have fractional as well as integer order. We then apply these results to obtain estimates for continuous and discrete least squares surface fits via radial basis functions (RBFs). These estimates include situations in which the target function does not belong to the native space of the RBF.

     

An approximation property of harmonic functions in Lipschitz domains and some of its consequences

An extension of an inequality of J. B. Garnett (1979), with improvements by B. E. J. Dahlberg (1980), on an approximation property of harmonic functions is proved. The weighted inequality proved here was suggested by the work of J. Pipher (1993) and it implies an extension of a result of S. Y. A. Chang, J. Wilson and T. Wolff (1985) and C. Sweezy (1991) on exponential square integrability of the boundary values of solutions to second-order linear differential equations in divergence form. This implies a solution of a problem left open by R. Bañuelos and C. N. Moore (1989) on sharp estimates for the area integral of harmonic functions in Lipschitz domains.

     

Critical exponent for semilinear damped wave equations in the N-dimensional half space

We generalize a previous result of Ikehata (Math. Methods Appl. Sci., in press), which studies the critical exponent problem of a semilinear damped wave equation in the one-dimensional half space, to the general N-dimensional half space case. That is to say, one can show the small data global existence of solutions of a mixed problem for the equation u_tt−Δu+u_t=|u|^p with the power p satisfying p∗(N)=1+2/(N+1)<p?N/[N−2]+ if we deal with the problem in the N-dimensional half space.     

Estimates for the Rapid Decay of Concentration Functions of n-Fold Convolutions

We estimate the concentration functions of n-fold convolutions of one-dimensional probability measures. The Kolmogorov–Rogozin inequality implies that for nondegenerate distributions these functions decrease at least as O(n ^–1/2). On the other hand, Esseen⁽³⁾ has shown that this rate is o(n ^–1/2) iff the distribution has an infinite second moment. This statement was sharpened by Morozova.⁽⁹⁾ Theorem 1 of this paper provides an improvement of Morozova's result. Moreover, we present more general estimates which imply the rates o(n ^–1/2).
