We use the Galerkin averaging method to construct a coordinate transformation putting a nonlinear PDE in Poincaré normal form up to finite order. We also give a rigorous estimate of the remainder showing that it is small as a differential operator of very high order. The abstract theorem is then applied to a quasilinear wave equation, to the water wave problem and to a nonlinear heat equation. The normal form is then used to construct approximate solutions whose difference from true solutions is...
We consider a dynamical system consisting of a pair of commuting power series under composition, one noninvertible and another nontorsion invertible, of height one with coefficients in the -adic integers. Assuming that each point of the dynamical system generates a Galois extension over the base field, we show that these extensions are in fact abelian, and, using results from the theory of the field of norms, we also show that the dynamical system must include a torsion series. From an earlier...
We overview a unified approach to the André-Oort and Manin-Mumford conjectures based on a combination of Galois-theoretic and ergodic techniques. This paper is based on recent work of Klingler, Ullmo and Yafaev on the André-Oort conjecture, and of Ratazzi and Ullmo on the Manin-Mumford conjecture.
We study ergodic properties of the class of Gaussian automorphisms whose ergodic self-joinings remain Gaussian. For such automorphisms we describe the structure of their factors and of their centralizer. We show that Gaussian automorphisms with simple spectrum belong to this class.
We prove a new sufficient condition for non-disjointness of automorphisms giving rise to a better understanding of Furstenberg's problem relating disjointness to the lack of common factors. This...
Inspired by the work of Zhidkov on the KdV equation, we perform a construction of weighted Gaussian measures associated to the higher order conservation laws of the Benjamin-Ono equation. The resulting measures are supported by Sobolev spaces of increasing regularity. We also prove a property on the support of these measures leading to the conjecture that they are indeed invariant by the flow of the Benjamin-Ono equation.
Let be a disjoint iteration group on the unit circle , that is a family of homeomorphisms such that for , and each either is the identity mapping or has no fixed point ( is a -divisible nontrivial Abelian group). Denote by the set of all cluster points of , for . In this paper we give a general construction of disjoint iteration groups for which .
We address the problem of the multifractal analysis of local entropies for arbitrary invariant measures. We obtain an upper estimate on the multifractal spectrum of local entropies, which is similar to the estimate for local dimensions. We show that in the case of Gibbs measures the above estimate becomes an exact equality. In this case the multifractal spectrum of local entropies is a smooth concave function. We discuss possible singularities in the multifractal spectrum and their relation to phase...
In this paper, with the assumptions that an infectious disease has a fixed
latent period in a population and the latent individuals of the population may
disperse, we reformulate an SIR model for the population living in two patches
(cities, towns, or countries etc.), which is a generalization of the classic
Kermack-McKendrick SIR model. The model is given by a system of delay
differential equations with a fixed delay accounting for the latency and
non-local terms caused by the mobility of the...
The Conley-Zehnder index associates an integer to any continuous path of symplectic matrices starting from the identity and ending at a matrix which does not admit as an eigenvalue. Robbin and Salamon define a generalization of the Conley-Zehnder index for any continuous path of symplectic matrices; this generalization is half integer valued. It is based on a Maslov-type index that they define for a continuous path of Lagrangians in a symplectic vector space , having chosen a given reference...
We introduce the notion of a generalized interval exchange
induced by a measurable k-partition
of [0,1).
can be viewed as the corresponding restriction of a nondecreasing function
on ℝ with
. A is called λ-dense if λ(A i∩(a, b))>0 for each i and any 0≤ a< b≤1. We show that the 2–3 Furstenberg conjecture is invalid if and only if there are 2 and 3 λ-dense partitions A and B of [0,1), such that
. We give necessary and sufficient conditions for this equality to hold. We show that...
Using a construction similar to an iterated function system, but with functions changing at each step of iteration, we provide a natural example of a continuous one-parameter family of holomorphic functions of infinitely many variables. This family is parametrized by the compact space of positive integer sequences of prescribed growth and hence it can also be viewed as a parametric description of a trivial analytic multifunction.
