Planarizable supersymmetric quantum toboggans.
We study dichotomous behavior of solutions to a non-autonomous linear difference equation in a Hilbert space. The evolution operator of this equation is not continuously invertible and the corresponding unstable subspace is of infinite dimension in general. We formulate a condition ensuring the dichotomy in terms of a sequence of indefinite metrics in the Hilbert space. We also construct an example of a difference equation in which dichotomous behavior of solutions is not compatible with the signature...
We consider perturbations of n-dimensional maps having homo-heteroclinic connections of compact normally hyperbolic invariant manifolds. We justify the applicability of the Poincaré-Melnikov method by following a geometric approach. Several examples are included.
Pointwise completeness and pointwise degeneracy of positive fractional descriptor continuous-time linear systems with regular pencils are addressed. Conditions for pointwise completeness and pointwise degeneracy of the systems are established and illustrated by an example.
We introduce a new variational method for the numerical homogenization of divergence form elliptic, parabolic and hyperbolic equations with arbitrary rough (L∞) coefficients. Our method does not rely on concepts of ergodicity or scale-separation but on compactness properties of the solution space and a new variational approach to homogenization. The approximation space is generated by an interpolation basis (over scattered points forming a mesh of resolution H) minimizing the L2 norm of the source...
We describe the ring of constants of a specific four variable Lotka-Volterra derivation. We investigate the existence of polynomial constants in the other cases of Lotka-Volterra derivations, also in n variables.
Let k be a field of characteristic zero. We describe the kernel of any quadratic homogeneous derivation d:k[x,y,z] → k[x,y,z] of the form , called the Lotka-Volterra derivation, where A,B,C ∈ k.
We study the problem of placing effective upper bounds for the number of zeroes of solutions of Fuchsian systems on the Riemann sphere. The principal result is an explicit (non-uniform) upper bound, polynomially growing on the frontier of the class of Fuchsian systems of a given dimension having singular points. As a function of , this bound turns out to be double exponential in the precise sense explained in the paper.As a corollary, we obtain a solution of the so-called restricted infinitesimal...
The paper investigates the interaction between the notions of expansiveness and admissibility. We consider a polynomially bounded discrete evolution family and define an admissibility notion via the solvability of an associated difference equation. Using the admissibility of weighted Lebesgue spaces of sequences, we give a characterization of discrete evolution families which are polynomially expansive and also those which are expansive in the ordinary sense. Thereafter, we apply the main results...
