A new approach for solving nonlinear BVP's on the half-line for second order equations and applications

Serena Matucci (2015)

Mathematica Bohemica

We present a new approach to solving boundary value problems on noncompact intervals for second order differential equations in case of nonlocal conditions. Then we apply it to some problems in which an initial condition, an asymptotic condition and a global condition is present. The abstract method is based on the solvability of two auxiliary boundary value problems on compact and on noncompact intervals, and uses some continuity arguments and analysis in the phase space. As shown in the applications,...

Aperiodicity of the Hamiltonian flow in the Thomas-Fermi potential.

Charles L. Fefferman, Luis A. Seco (1993)

Revista Matemática Iberoamericana

In [FS1] we announced a precise asymptotic formula for the ground-state energy of a non-relativistic atom. The purpose of this paper is to establish an elementary inequality that plays a crucial role in our proof of that formula. The inequality concerns the Thomas-Fermi potentialVTF = -y(ar) / r, a > 0, where y(r) is defined as the solution of⎧   y''(x) = x-1/2y3/2(x),⎨   y(0) = 1,⎩   y(∞) = 0.
