On movable singularities of self-similar solutions of semilinear wave equations

Radosław A. Kycia — 2012

Banach Center Publications

In this paper we analyze movable singularities of the solutions of the equation for self-similar profiles resulting from semilinear wave equation. We study local analytic solutions around two fixed singularity points of this equation- ρ = 0 and ρ = 1. The movable singularities of local analytic solutions at the origin will be connected with those of the Lane-Emden equation. The function describing approximately their position on the complex plane will be derived. For ρ > 1 some topological considerations...

Entropy in Thermodynamics: from Foliation to Categorization

Radosław A. Kycia — 2021

Communications in Mathematics

We overview the notion of entropy in thermodynamics. We start from the smooth case using differential forms on the manifold, which is the natural language for thermodynamics. Then the axiomatic definition of entropy as ordering on a set that is induced by adiabatic processes will be outlined. Finally, the viewpoint of category theory is provided, which reinterprets the ordering structure as a category of pre-ordered sets.
