Spectrum of the laplacian in a narrow curved strip with combined Dirichlet and Neumann boundary conditions

David Krejčiřík (2009)

ESAIM: Control, Optimisation and Calculus of Variations

We consider the laplacian in a domain squeezed between two parallel curves in the plane, subject to Dirichlet boundary conditions on one of the curves and Neumann boundary conditions on the other. We derive two-term asymptotics for eigenvalues in the limit when the distance between the curves tends to zero. The asymptotics are uniform and local in the sense that the coefficients depend only on the extremal points where the ratio of the curvature radii of the Neumann boundary to the Dirichlet one...

Spectrum of the Laplacian in narrow tubular neighbourhoods of hypersurfaces with combined Dirichlet and Neumann boundary conditions

David Krejčiřík (2014)

Mathematica Bohemica

We consider the Laplacian in a domain squeezed between two parallel hypersurfaces in Euclidean spaces of any dimension, subject to Dirichlet boundary conditions on one of the hypersurfaces and Neumann boundary conditions on the other. We derive two-term asymptotics for eigenvalues in the limit when the distance between the hypersurfaces tends to zero. The asymptotics are uniform and local in the sense that the coefficients depend only on the extremal points where the ratio of the area of the Neumann...

Spectrum of the weighted Laplace operator in unbounded domains

Alexey Filinovskiy (2011)

Mathematica Bohemica

We investigate the spectral properties of the differential operator - r s Δ , s 0 with the Dirichlet boundary condition in unbounded domains whose boundaries satisfy some geometrical condition. Considering this operator as a self-adjoint operator in the space with the norm u L 2 , s ( Ω ) 2 = Ω r - s | u | 2 d x , we study the structure of the spectrum with respect to the parameter s . Further we give an estimate of the rate of condensation of discrete spectra when it changes to continuous.

Speed-up of reaction-diffusion fronts by a line of fast diffusion

Henri Berestycki, Anne-Charline Coulon, Jean-Michel Roquejoffre, Luca Rossi (2013/2014)

Séminaire Laurent Schwartz — EDP et applications

In these notes, we discuss a new model, proposed by H. Berestycki, J.-M. Roquejoffre and L. Rossi, to describe biological invasions in the plane when a strong diffusion takes place on a line. This model seems relevant to account for the effects of roads on the spreading of invasive species. In what follows, the diffusion on the line will either be modelled by the Laplacian operator, or the fractional Laplacian of order less than 1. Of interest to us is the asymptotic speed of spreading in the direction...

Spherical semiclassical states of a critical frequency for Schrödinger equations with decaying potentials

Jaeyoung Byeon, Zhi-Qiang Wang (2006)

Journal of the European Mathematical Society

For singularly perturbed Schrödinger equations with decaying potentials at infinity we construct semiclassical states of a critical frequency concentrating on spheres near zeroes of the potentials. The results generalize some recent work of Ambrosetti–Malchiodi–Ni [3] which gives solutions concentrating on spheres where the potential is positive. The solutions we obtain exhibit different behaviors from the ones given in [3].

Spread Pattern Formation of H5N1-Avian Influenza and its Implications for Control Strategies

R. Liu, V. R. S. K. Duvvuri, J. Wu (2008)

Mathematical Modelling of Natural Phenomena

Mechanisms contributing to the spread of avian influenza seem to be well identified, but how their interplay led to the current worldwide spread pattern of H5N1 influenza is still unknown due to the lack of effective global surveillance and relevant data. Here we develop some deterministic models based on the transmission cycle and modes of H5N1 and focusing on the interaction among poultry, wild birds and environment. Some of the model parameters are obtained from existing literatures, and others...

Spreading and vanishing in nonlinear diffusion problems with free boundaries

Yihong Du, Bendong Lou (2015)

Journal of the European Mathematical Society

We study nonlinear diffusion problems of the form u t = u x x + f ( u ) with free boundaries. Such problems may be used to describe the spreading of a biological or chemical species, with the free boundary representing the expanding front. For special f ( u ) of the Fisher-KPP type, the problem was investigated by Du and Lin [DL]. Here we consider much more general nonlinear terms. For any f ( u ) which is C 1 and satisfies f ( 0 ) = 0 , we show that the omega limit set ω ( u ) of every bounded positive solution is determined by a stationary solution....

Square functions associated to Schrödinger operators

I. Abu-Falahah, P. R. Stinga, J. L. Torrea (2011)

Studia Mathematica

We characterize geometric properties of Banach spaces in terms of boundedness of square functions associated to general Schrödinger operators of the form ℒ = -Δ + V, where the nonnegative potential V satisfies a reverse Hölder inequality. The main idea is to sharpen the well known localization method introduced by Z. Shen. Our results can be regarded as alternative proofs of the boundedness in H¹, L p and BMO of classical ℒ-square functions.

Square functions of Calderón type and applications.

Steve Hofmann, John L. Lewis (2001)

Revista Matemática Iberoamericana

We establish L2 and Lp bounds for a class of square functions which arises in the study of singular integrals and boundary value problems in non-smooth domains. As an application, we present a simplified treatment of a class of parabolic smoothing operators which includes the caloric single layer potential on the boundary of certain minimally smooth, non-cylindrical domains.

Square roots of perturbed subelliptic operators on Lie groups

Lashi Bandara, A. F. M. ter Elst, Alan McIntosh (2013)

Studia Mathematica

We solve the Kato square root problem for bounded measurable perturbations of subelliptic operators on connected Lie groups. The subelliptic operators are divergence form operators with complex bounded coefficients, which may have lower order terms. In this general setting we deduce inhomogeneous estimates. In case the group is nilpotent and the subelliptic operator is pure second order, we prove stronger homogeneous estimates. Furthermore, we prove Lipschitz stability of the estimates under small...
