The homogeneity properties of two different families of geometric objects playing a crutial role in the non-autonomous first-order dynamics - semisprays and dynamical connections on - are studied. A natural correspondence between sprays and a special class of homogeneous connections is presented.
P. Bérard et D. Meyer ont démontré une inégalité du type Faber-Krahn pour les domaines d'une variété compacte à courbure de Ricci positive. Nous démontrons des résultats de stabilité associés à cette inégalité.
In this paper, we define an -Yang-Mills functional, and hence -Yang-Mills fields. The first and the second variational formulas are calculated, and the stabilities of -Yang-Mills fields on some submanifolds of the Euclidean spaces and the spheres are investigated, and hence the theories of Yang-Mills fields are generalized in this paper.
The linearized stability of stationary solutions for the surface diffusion flow with a triple junction is studied. We derive the second variation of the energy functional under the constraint that the enclosed areas are preserved and show a linearized stability criterion with the help of the -gradient flow structure of the evolution problem and the analysis of eigenvalues of a corresponding differential operator.
We show stability and consistency of the linear semi-implicit complementary volume numerical scheme for solving the regularized, in the sense of Evans and Spruck, mean curvature flow equation in the level set formulation. The numerical method is based on the finite volume methodology using the so-called complementary volumes to a finite element triangulation. The scheme gives the solution in an efficient and unconditionally stable way.
We give an example of a symplectic manifold with a stable hypersurface such that nearby hypersurfaces are typically unstable.
