Convergence and asymptotic stabilization for some damped hyperbolic equations with non-isolated equilibria

Felipe Alvarez, Hedy Attouch (2010)

ESAIM: Control, Optimisation and Calculus of Variations

It is established convergence to a particular equilibrium for weak solutions of abstract linear equations of the second order in time associated with monotone operators with nontrivial kernel. Concerning nonlinear hyperbolic equations with monotone and conservative potentials, it is proved a general asymptotic convergence result in terms of weak and strong topologies of appropriate Hilbert spaces. It is also considered the stabilization of a particular equilibrium via the introduction of an asymptotically...

Evolution equations in discrete and continuous time for nonexpansive operators in Banach spaces

Guillaume Vigeral (2010)

ESAIM: Control, Optimisation and Calculus of Variations

We consider some discrete and continuous dynamics in a Banach space involving a non expansive operator J and a corresponding family of strictly contracting operators Φ (λ, x): = λ J( 1 - λ λ x) for λ ∈ ] 0,1] . Our motivation comes from the study of two-player zero-sum repeated games, where the value of the n-stage game (resp. the value of the λ-discounted game) satisfies the relation vn = Φ( 1 n , v n - 1 ) (resp.  v λ = Φ(λ, v λ )) where J is the Shapley operator of the game. We study the evolution equation u'(t) =...

Expansion for the superheating field in a semi-infinite film in the weak- κ limit

Pierre Del Castillo (2002)

ESAIM: Mathematical Modelling and Numerical Analysis - Modélisation Mathématique et Analyse Numérique

Dorsey, Di Bartolo and Dolgert (Di Bartolo et al., 1996; 1997) have constructed asymptotic matched solutions at order two for the half-space Ginzburg-Landau model, in the weak- κ limit. These authors deduced a formal expansion for the superheating field in powers of κ 1 2 up to order four, extending the formula by De Gennes (De Gennes, 1966) and the two terms in Parr’s formula (Parr, 1976). In this paper, we construct asymptotic matched solutions at all orders leading to a complete expansion in powers...

Global minimizer of the ground state for two phase conductors in low contrast regime

Antoine Laurain (2014)

ESAIM: Control, Optimisation and Calculus of Variations

The problem of distributing two conducting materials with a prescribed volume ratio in a ball so as to minimize the first eigenvalue of an elliptic operator with Dirichlet conditions is considered in two and three dimensions. The gap ε between the two conductivities is assumed to be small (low contrast regime). The main result of the paper is to show, using asymptotic expansions with respect to ε and to small geometric perturbations of the optimal shape, that the global minimum of the first eigenvalue...

Influence of Vibrations on Convective Instability of Reaction Fronts in Liquids

K. Allali, F. Bikany, A. Taik, V. Volpert (2010)

Mathematical Modelling of Natural Phenomena

Propagation of polymerization fronts with liquid monomer and liquid polymer is considered and the influence of vibrations on critical conditions of convective instability is studied. The model includes the heat equation, the equation for the concentration and the Navier-Stokes equations considered under the Boussinesq approximation. Linear stability analysis of the problem is fulfilled, and the convective instability boundary is found depending on...

Meandering of trajectories of polynomial vector fields in the affine n-space.

Dimitri Novikov, Sergei Yakovenko (1997)

Publicacions Matemàtiques

We give an explicit upper bound for the number of isolated intersections between an integral curve of a polynomial vector field in Rn and an affine hyperplane.The problem turns out to be closely related to finding an explicit upper bound for the length of ascending chains of polynomial ideals spanned by consecutive derivatives.This exposition constitutes an extended abstract of a forthcoming paper: only the basic steps are outlined here, with all technical details being either completely omitted...

On L w 2 -quasi-derivatives for solutions of perturbed general quasi-differential equations

Sobhy El-sayed Ibrahim (1999)

Czechoslovak Mathematical Journal

This paper is concerned with square integrable quasi-derivatives for any solution of a general quasi-differential equation of n th order with complex coefficients M [ y ] - λ w y = w f ( t , y [ 0 ] , ... , y [ n - 1 ] ) , t [ a , b ) provided that all r th quasi-derivatives of solutions of M [ y ] - λ w y = 0 and all solutions of its normal adjoint M + [ z ] - λ ¯ w z = 0 are in L w 2 ( a , b ) and under suitable conditions on the function f .

On singularly perturbed ordinary differential equations with measure-valued limits

Zvi Artstein (2002)

Mathematica Bohemica

The limit behaviour of solutions of a singularly perturbed system is examined in the case where the fast flow need not converge to a stationary point. The topological convergence as well as information about the distribution of the values of the solutions can be determined in the case that the support of the limit invariant measure of the fast flow is an asymptotically stable attractor.
