Eine Bemerkung zur Charakterisierung der Distributionenhalbgruppen.
In the framework of locally p-convex spaces, two versions of Ekeland's variational principle and two versions of Caristi's fixed point theorem are given. It is shown that the four results are mutually equivalent. Moreover, by using the local completeness theory, a p-drop theorem in locally p-convex spaces is proven.
The paper deals with a model for water freezing in a deformable elastoplastic container. The mathematical problem consists of a system of one parabolic equation for temperature, one integrodifferential equation with a hysteresis operator for local volume increment, and one differential inclusion for the water content. The problem is shown to admit a unique global uniformly bounded weak solution.
We describe a simple linear algebra idea which has been used in different branches of mathematics such as bifurcation theory, partial differential equations and numerical analysis. Under the name of the Schur complement method it is one of the standard tools of applied linear algebra. In PDE and spectral analysis it is sometimes called the Grushin problem method, and here we concentrate on its uses in the study of infinite dimensional problems, coming from partial differential operators of mathematical...
