A pneumatic tyre in rotating motion with a constant angular velocity $\Omega$ is assimilated to a torus whose generating circle has a radius $R$. The contact of the tyre with the ground is schematized as an ellipse with semi-major axis $a$. When $(\Omega R/C_0)\ll 1$ and $(a/R)\ll 1$ (where $C_0$ is the velocity of the sound), we show that at the rapid time scale $R/C_0$, the air motion within a torus periodically excited on its surface generates an acoustic wave $h$. A study of this acoustic wave is conducted and shows that the mode associated...

Large time behavior of solutions to the generalized damped wave equation $u_{tt}+A{u}_t+\nu Bu+F(x,t,u,u_t,\nabla u)=0$ for $(x,t)\in {ℝ}^n\times [0,\infty )$ is studied. First, we consider the linear nonhomogeneous equation, i.e. with F = F(x,t) independent of u. We impose conditions on the operators A and B, on F, as well as on the initial data which lead to the selfsimilar large time asymptotics of solutions. Next, this abstract result is applied to the equation where $A{u}_t=u_t$, $Bu=-\Delta u$, and the nonlinear term is either $|u_t{|}^{q-1}{u}_t$ or ${\left|u\right|}^{\alpha -1}u$. In this case, the asymptotic profile of solutions...

We study the statistical properties of the solutions of the Kadomstev-Petviashvili equations (KP-I and KP-II) on the torus when the initial datum is a random variable. We give ourselves a random variable $u_0$ with values in the Sobolev space $H^s$ with $s$ big enough such that its Fourier coefficients are independent from each other. We assume that the laws of these Fourier coefficients are invariant under multiplication by $e^{i\theta }$ for all $\theta \in ℝ$. We investigate about the persistence of the decorrelation...

The semilinear differential equation (1), (2), (3), in $ℝ\times \mathrm{\Omega }$ with $\mathrm{\Omega }\in {ℝ}^N$, (a nonlinear wave equation) is studied. In particular for $\mathrm{\Omega }={ℝ}^3$, the existence is shown of a weak solution $u(t,x)$, periodic with period $T$, non-constant with respect to $t$, and radially symmetric in the spatial variables, that is of the form $u(t,x)=\nu (t,|x|)$. The proof is based on a distributional interpretation for a linear equation corresponding to the given problem, on the Paley-Wiener criterion for the Laplace Transform, and on the alternative...

We consider the systems of hyperbolic equations ⎧$uₜₜ=\Delta \left(a(t,x)u\right)+\Delta \left(b(t,x)v\right)+{h(t,x)\left|v\right|}^p$, t > 0, $x\in {ℝ}^N$, (S1) ⎨ ⎩$vₜₜ=\Delta \left(c(t,x)v\right)+{k(t,x)\left|u\right|}^q$, t > 0, $x\in {ℝ}^N$ ⎧$uₜₜ=\Delta \left(a(t,x)u\right)+{h(t,x)\left|v\right|}^p$, t > 0, $x\in {ℝ}^N$, (S2) ⎨ ⎩$vₜₜ=\Delta \left(c(t,x)v\right)+{l(t,x)\left|v\right|}^m+k(t,x){\left|u\right|}^q$, t > 0, $x\in {ℝ}^N$, (S3) ⎧$uₜₜ=\Delta \left(a(t,x)u\right)+\Delta \left(b(t,x)v\right)+{h(t,x)\left|u\right|}^p$, t > 0, $x\in {ℝ}^N$, ⎨ ⎩$vₜₜ=\Delta \left(c(t,x)v\right)+{k(t,x)\left|v\right|}^q$, t > 0, $x\in {ℝ}^N$, in $(0,\infty )\times {ℝ}^N$ with u(0,x) = u₀(x), v(0,x) = v₀(x), uₜ(0,x) = u₁(x), vₜ(0,x) = v₁(x). We show that, in each case, there exists a bound B on N such that for 1 ≤ N ≤ B solutions to the systems blow up in finite time.

Let $D$ be a ${𝒞}^d$ $q$-convex intersection, $d\ge 2$, $0\le q\le n-1$, in a complex manifold $X$ of complex dimension $n$, $n\ge 2$, and let $E$ be a holomorphic vector bundle of rank $N$ over $X$. In this paper, ${𝒞}^k$-estimates, $k=2,3,\cdots ,\infty$, for solutions to the $\overline{\partial }$-equation with small loss of smoothness are obtained for $E$-valued $(0,s)$-forms on $D$ when $n-q\le s\le n$. In addition, we solve the $\overline{\partial }$-equation with a support condition in ${𝒞}^k$-spaces. More precisely, we prove that for a $\overline{\partial }$-closed form $f$ in ${𝒞}_{0,q}^k(X\setminus D,E)$, $1\le q\le n-2$, $n\ge 3$, with compact support and for $\epsilon$ with $0<\epsilon <1$ there...

In this paper we prove the following theorems in incidence geometry. 1. There is $\delta >0$ such that for any $P_1,\cdots ,P_4$, and $Q_1,\cdots ,Q_n\in {ℂ}^2$, if there are $\le n^{(1+\delta )/2}$ many distinct lines between $P_i$ and $Q_j$ for all $i$, $j$, then $P_1,\cdots ,P_4$ are collinear. If the number of the distinct lines is $<c{n}^{1/2}$ then the cross ratio of the four points is algebraic. 2. Given $c>0$, there is $\delta >0$ such that for any $P_1,P_2,P_3\in {ℂ}^2$ noncollinear, and $Q_1,\cdots ,Q_n\in {ℂ}^2$, if there are $\le c{n}^{1/2}$ many distinct lines between $P_i$ and $Q_j$ for all $i$, $j$, then for any $P\in {ℂ}^2\setminus \{P_1,P_2,P_3\}$, we have $\delta n$ distinct lines between $P$ and $Q_j$. 3. Given...

We investigate the recovery of $k$-sparse signals using the ${\ell }_1$-${\ell }_2$ minimization model with prior support set information. The prior support set information, which is believed to contain the indices of nonzero signal elements, significantly enhances the performance of compressive recovery by improving accuracy, efficiency, reducing complexity, expanding applicability, and enhancing robustness. We assume $k$-sparse signals $𝐱$ with the prior support $T$ which is composed of $g$ true indices and $b$ wrong...
