Global existence for a quasilinear wave equation outside of star-shaped domains

Hart F. Smith — 2001

Journées équations aux dérivées partielles

This talk describes joint work with Chris Sogge and Markus Keel, in which we establish a global existence theorem for null-type quasilinear wave equations in three space dimensions, where we impose Dirichlet conditions on a smooth, compact star-shaped obstacle 𝒦 3 . The key tool, following Christodoulou [1], is to use the Penrose compactification of Minkowski space. In the case under consideration, this reduces matters to a local existence theorem for a singular obstacle problem. Full details will...

A parametrix construction for wave equations with C 1 , 1 coefficients

Hart F. Smith — 1998

Annales de l'institut Fourier

In this article we give a construction of the wave group for variable coefficient, time dependent wave equations, under the hypothesis that the coefficients of the principal term possess two bounded derivatives in the spatial variables, and one bounded derivative in the time variable. We use this construction to establish the Strichartz and Pecher estimates for solutions to the Cauchy problem for such equations, in space dimensions n = 2 and n = 3 .

Change-Point problems: approaches and applications.

Adrian F. M. Smith — 1980

Trabajos de Estadística e Investigación Operativa

Problems of making inferences about abrupt changes in the mechanism underlying a sequence of observations are considered in both retrospective and on-line contexts. Among the topics considered are the Lindisfarne scribes problem; switching straight lines; manoeuvering targets, and shifts of level or slope in linear time series models. Summary analyses of data obtained in studies of schizophrenic and kidney transplant patients are presented.

Uniform approximation of harmonic functions

G. F. Vincent-Smith — 1969

Annales de l'institut Fourier

Let ω be an open relatively compact weakly determining subset of a locally compact harmonic space in the axiomatic of Boboc-Constantinescu-Cornea. If f is continuous on ω and harmonic in ω the f may be uniformly approximated on ω to within ϵ by a function harmonic in an open set containing ω . The proof uses an extension of the Weierstrass-Stone theorem to geometric simplexes.

A Weierstrass-Stone theorem for Choquet simplexes

David Alan EdwardsG. F. Vincent-Smith — 1968

Annales de l'institut Fourier

Soit X un convexe compact d’un espace localement convexe séparé, soit A ( X ) l’espace de fonctions réelles affines continues sur X , et soit L un sous-espace de A ( X ) linéaire qui contient les fonctions constantes. Parmi les faces fermées de X sur lesquelles les fonctions de L sont toutes constantes on appelle les faces maximales L -faces. Nos théorèmes principaux donnent quelques conditions sous lesquelles L contient exactement ces fonctions qui sont constantes sur chaque L -face. En particulier, L est dense...

Coherence of models and utilities: Discussion.

Discussion on the papers by Leonard, Tom, The roles of inductive modelling and coherence in Bayesian statistics and by Novick, Melvin R., Dekeyrel, D.F. and Chuang, D.T., Local and regional coherence utility assessment procedures, both of them part of a round table on Coherence of models and utilities held in the First International Congress on Bayesian Methods (Valencia, Spain, 28 May - 2 June 1979).
