Resonance Problems Which Intersect Many Eigenvalues

We study semilinear problems in which the nonlinear part is linear at infinity but behaves like a function intersecting many of the eigenvalues of the linear operator. The asymptotic linear operator can have a null space of any finite dimension.     

On the critical damping in multi-degree-of-freedom systems

The concept of criticality in viscously damped multi-degree-of-freedom systems is discussed. A necessary and sufficient condition for critical damping is presented. The fundamental physical basis is the same as in Beskos and Boley [ASME J. Appl. Mech. 47 (1980) 627], but numerical convenience is enhanced.     

Remarks on multiple solutions for elliptic resonant problems

Elliptic problems with critical exponents and Hardy potentials

This paper is devoted to the existence of positive solutions of a Dirichlet problem with critical exponent and a singular potential. Under various assumption on the domain Ω, which include some kinds of unbounded domains, we prove the existence of ground states and of symmetric solutions.     

The speaker''s formant in male voices

Spectral analysis of vowels during connected speech can be performed using the spectral intensity distribution within critical bands corresponding to a natural scale on the basilar membrane. Normalization of the spectra provides the opportunity to make objective comparisons independent from the recording level. An increasing envelope peak between 3,150 and 3,700 Hz has been confirmed statistically for a combination of seven vowels in three groups of male speakers with hoarse, normal, and professional voices. Each vowel is also analyzed individually. The local energy maximum is called “the speaker's formant” and can be found in the region of the fourth formant. The steepness of the spectral slope (i.e. the rate of decline) becomes less pronounced when the sonority or the intensity of the voice increases. The speaker's formant is connected with the sonorous quality of the voice. It increases gradually and is approximately 10 dB higher in professional male voices than in normal male voices at neutral loudness (60 dB at 0.3 min). The peak intensity becomes stronger (30 dB above normal voices) when the overall speaking loudness is increased to 80 dB. Shouting increases the spectral energy of the adjacent critical bands but not the speaker's formant itself.     

Existence of multiple positive solutions for second order nonlinear dynamic BVPs by variational methods

The aim of this paper is to employ variational techniques and critical point theory to prove some sufficient conditions for the existence of multiple positive solutions to a nonlinear second order dynamic equation with homogeneous Dirichlet boundary conditions.     

The critical Neumann problem for semilinear elliptic equations with concave perturbations

We consider the semilinear Neumann problem involving the critical Sobolev exponent with an indefinite weight function and a concave purturbation. We prove the existence of two distinct solutions.      

A new comprehensive study of the 3D random-field Ising model via sampling the density of states in dominant energy subspaces

The three-dimensional bimodal random-field Ising model is studied via a new finite temperature numerical approach. The methods of Wang-Landau sampling and broad histogram are implemented in a unified algorithm by using the N-fold version of the Wang-Landau algorithm. The simulations are performed in dominant energy subspaces, determined by the recently developed critical minimum energy subspace technique. The random-fields are obtained from a bimodal distribution, that is we consider the discrete (±Δ) case and the model is studied on cubic lattices with sizes 4≤L ≤20. In order to extract information for the relevant probability distributions of the specific heat and susceptibility peaks, large samples of random-field realizations are generated. The general aspects of the model's scaling behavior are discussed and the process of averaging finite-size anomalies in random systems is re-examined under the prism of the lack of self-averaging of the specific heat and susceptibility of the model.
