Nonlocal variational problems arising in long wave propagatioN

Orlando Lopes (2010)

ESAIM: Control, Optimisation and Calculus of Variations

Similarity:

In this paper we study the existence of minimizer for certain constrained variational problems given by functionals with nonlocal terms. This type of functionals are first integrals of evolution equations describing long wave propagation and the existence of minimizer gives the existence and the stability of traveling waves for these equations. Due to loss of compactness, the major problem is to prevent dichotomy of minimizing sequences. Our approach is an alternative to the concentration-compactness...

Quasi-periodic oscillations for wave equations under periodic forcing

Massimiliano Berti, Michela Procesi (2005)

Similarity:

Existence of quasi-periodic solutions with two frequencies of completely resonant, periodically forced, nonlinear wave equations with periodic spatial boundary conditions is established. We consider both the cases the forcing frequency is (Case A) a rational number and (Case B) an irrational number.
