A stochastic min-driven coalescence process and its hydrodynamical limit

Anne-Laure Basdevant, Philippe Laurençot, James R. Norris, Clément Rau (2011)

Annales de l'I.H.P. Probabilités et statistiques

A stochastic system of particles is considered in which the sizes of the particles increase by successive binary mergers with the constraint that each coagulation event involves a particle with minimal size. Convergence of a suitably renormalized version of this process to a deterministic hydrodynamical limit is shown and the time evolution of the minimal size is studied for both deterministic and stochastic models.

A strong relaxation theorem for maximal monotone differential inclusions with memory

Nikolaos S. Papageorgiou (1994)

Archivum Mathematicum

We consider maximal monotone differential inclusions with memory. We establish the existence of extremal strong and then we show that they are dense in the solution set of the original equation. As an application, we derive a “bang-bang” principle for nonlinear control systems monitored by maximal monotone differential equations.

A study of an operator arising in the theory of circular plates

Leopold Herrmann (1988)

Aplikace matematiky

The operator L 0 : D L 0 H H , L 0 u = 1 r d d r r d d r 1 r d d r r d u d r , D L 0 = { u C 4 ( [ 0 , R ] ) , u ' ( 0 ) = u ' ' ' ' ( 0 ) = 0 , u ( R ) = u ' ( R ) = 0 } , H = L 2 , r ( 0 , R ) is shown to be essentially self-adjoint, positive definite with a compact resolvent. The conditions on L 0 (in fact, on a general symmetric operator) are given so as to justify the application of the Fourier method for solving the problems of the types L 0 u = g and u t t + L 0 u = g , respectively.

A study of second order differential inclusions with four-point integral boundary conditions

Bashir Ahmad, Sotiris K. Ntouyas (2011)

Discussiones Mathematicae, Differential Inclusions, Control and Optimization

In this paper, we discuss the existence of solutions for a four-point integral boundary value problem of second order differential inclusions involving convex and non-convex multivalued maps. The existence results are obtained by applying the nonlinear alternative of Leray Schauder type and some suitable theorems of fixed point theory.

A Sturm-Liouville problem with spectral and large parameters in boundary conditions and the associated Cauchy problem

Jamel Ben Amara (2011)

Colloquium Mathematicae

We study a Sturm-Liouville problem containing a spectral parameter in the boundary conditions. We associate to this problem a self-adjoint operator in a Pontryagin space Π₁. Using this operator-theoretic formulation and analytic methods, we study the asymptotic behavior of the eigenvalues under the variation of a large physical parameter in the boundary conditions. The spectral analysis is applied to investigate the well-posedness and stability of the wave equation of a string.

A sufficient condition for a polynomial centre to be global

Marco Sabatini (1991)

Atti della Accademia Nazionale dei Lincei. Classe di Scienze Fisiche, Matematiche e Naturali. Rendiconti Lincei. Matematica e Applicazioni

A sufficient condition is given in order that a centre of a polynomial planar autonomous system be a global centre.
