On a variational problem arising in crystallography

Alexander J. Zaslavski (2007)

ESAIM: Control, Optimisation and Calculus of Variations

Similarity:

We study a variational problem which was introduced by Hannon, Marcus and Mizel [ (2003) 145–149] to describe step-terraces on surfaces of so-called “unorthodox” crystals. We show that there is no nondegenerate intervals on which the absolute value of a minimizer is π / 2 identically.

A singular version of Leighton's comparison theorem for forced quasilinear second order differential equations

Ondřej Došlý, Jaroslav Jaroš (2003)

Archivum Mathematicum

Similarity:

We extend the classical Leighton comparison theorem to a class of quasilinear forced second order differential equations ( r ( t ) | x ' | α - 2 x ' ) ' + c ( t ) | x | β - 2 x = f ( t ) , 1 < α β , t I = ( a , b ) , ( * ) where the endpoints a , b of the interval I are allowed to be singular. Some applications of this statement in the oscillation theory of (*) are suggested.
