Lyapunov and Dynamical Spectra for Banach State-spaces

We study the Lyapunov exponents and exponential splittings for continuous linear skew-product flows acting on infinite dimensional Banach state-spaces.     

Convergence of Anisotropically Decaying Solutions of a Supercritical Semilinear Heat Equation

We consider the Cauchy problem for a semilinear heat equation with a supercritical power nonlinearity. It is known that the asymptotic behavior of solutions in time is determined by the decay rate of their initial values in space. In particular, if an initial value decays like a radial steady state, then the corresponding solution converges to that steady state. In this paper we consider solutions whose initial values decay in an anisotropic way. We show that each such solution converges to a steady state which is explicitly determined by an average formula. For a proof, we first consider the linearized equation around a singular steady state, and find a self-similar solution with a specific asymptotic behavior. Then we construct suitable comparison functions by using the self-similar solution, and apply our previous results on global stability and quasi-convergence of solutions.     

点涡动力系统的Lyapunov指数

平面上理想流体的三点涡系统是可积的Hamilton系统, 但其运动仍然相当复杂, 这给研究被动微粒在三点涡系统中运动带来了很大的困难. 着眼于点涡系统的被动微粒对初始小扰动的稳定性, 通过Oseledec定理定义被动微粒的Lyapunov指数, 给出了点涡系统中被动微粒稳定性的定量刻画. 同时, 由Hamilton系统的保体积性质得到的关于Lyapunov指数的简洁表达式, 避免了计算的繁琐. 利用这个定义, 点涡系的瞬时流场可以被划分成若干区域, 被动微粒的混沌运动只能在近涡的特定区域出现.      

舰船辐射噪声超混沌现象研究

水下弱目标探测和识别一直是水声信号处理领域中研究的难点。从Lyapunov指数谱、吸引子相空间轨迹的演化、分形维数等方面，对船舶辐射噪声是否存在超混沌现象进行了研究。实验结果表明，船舶辐射噪声信号确实存在至少两个正的Lyapunov指数，即存在超混沌现象。辐射噪声吸引子在相空间中的轨迹具有多方向伸展的趋势，且不同类型目标的吸引子具有不同的分形维数。研究结果为建立精确描述辐射噪声信号的非线性模型、为水下弱目标信号探测和识别提供一定的理论依据。

Multipeak solutions to the Bahri-Coron problem in domains with a shrinking hole

We construct positive and sign changing multipeak solutions to the pure critical exponent problem in a bounded domain with a shrinking hole, having a peak which concentrates at some point inside the shrinking hole (i.e. outside the domain) and one or more peaks which concentrate at interior points of the domain. These are, to our knowledge, the first multipeak solutions in a domain with a single small hole.     

Multiple positive solutions for a semilinear elliptic equation with critical Sobolev exponent

In this paper, we study a class of semilinear elliptic equations with Hardy potential and critical Sobolev exponent. By means of the Ekeland variational principle and Mountain Pass theorem, multiple positive solutions are obtained.     

Attractors for the nonclassical diffusion equations with fading memory

We discuss long-time dynamical behavior of the nonclassical diffusion equation with fading memory when nonlinearity is critical. The existence and regularity of global attractors in weak topological space and strong topological space are obtained, while the forcing term only belongs to H⁻¹(Ω) and L²(Ω) respectively. The results in this part are new and appear to be optimal corresponding to the forcing term.     

Evaluating nonlinear variability of mental fatigue behavioral indices during long‐term attentive task

This study investigates the behavioral indices of attention. A simple repetitive attentive task that resulted in mental fatigue was used consecutively in four trials. In the first step, reaction time and error responses were recorded to evaluate differences among trials. During the task, subjects showed different responses to stimulations. In the second part, to recognize the strategies, multiple clustering methods such as k‐means and fuzzy c‐means were performed in which behavioral indices and nonlinear features were used. In the last section, mental behavior was identified as a result of the chaotic properties of variations in reaction time. Therefore, the Lyapunov exponent of reaction times was evaluated. Results revealed that behavioral indices could distinguish attention from the occurrence of mental fatigue in trials. In addition, the three strategies used by subjects during the test protocol were assessed. Finally, variation of indices extracted from nonlinear analysis, that is, decrease in degree of chaotic behavior determined the transition from attention to mental fatigue. © 2012 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
