Preconditioning Indefinite Discretization Matrices.
The initial-boundary value problem of two-dimensional incompressible fluid flow in stream function form is considered. A prediction-correction Legendre spectral scheme is proposed, which is easy to be performed. The numerical solution possesses the accuracy of second-order in time and higher order in space. The numerical experiments show the high accuracy of this approach.
We generalize the Malgrange preparation theorem to matrix valued functions satisfying the condition that vanishes to finite order at . Then we can factor near (0,0), where is inversible and is polynomial function of depending on . The preparation is (essentially) unique, up to functions vanishing to infinite order at , if we impose some additional conditions on . We also have a generalization of the division theorem, and analytic versions generalizing the Weierstrass preparation...
In this paper we perform a fine blow up analysis for a fourth order elliptic equation involving critical Sobolev exponent, related to the prescription of some conformal invariant on the standard sphere . We derive from this analysis some a priori estimates in dimension and . On these a priori estimates, combined with the perturbation result in the first part of the present work, allow us to obtain some existence result using a continuity method. On we prove the existence of at least one...
We study the problem of prescribing a fourth order conformal invariant on higher dimensional spheres. Particular attention is paid to the blow-up points, i.e. the critical points at infinity of the corresponding variational problem. Using topological tools and a careful analysis of the gradient flow lines in the neighborhood of such critical points at infinity, we prove some existence results.
