Signals generated in memristive circuits

Artur Sowa (2012)

Nanoscale Systems: Mathematical Modeling, Theory and Applications

Signals generated in circuits that include nano-structured elements typically have strongly distinct characteristics, particularly the hysteretic distortion. This is due to memristance, which is one of the key electronic properties of nanostructured materials. In this article, we consider signals generated from a memrsitive circuit model. We demonstrate numerically that such signals can be efficiently represented in certain custom-designed nonorthogonal bases. The proposed method ensures that the...

Sign-changing solutions and multiplicity results for some quasi-linear elliptic Dirichlet problems

Rebecca Walo Omana (2007)

Commentationes Mathematicae Universitatis Carolinae

In this paper we show some results of multiplicity and existence of sign-changing solutions using a mountain pass theorem in ordered intervals, for a class of quasi-linear elliptic Dirichlet problems. As a by product we construct a special pseudo-gradient vector field and a negative pseudo-gradient flow for the nondifferentiable functional associated to our class of problems.

Similarity stabilizes blow-up

Steve Schochet (1999)

Journées équations aux dérivées partielles

The blow-up of solutions to a quasilinear heat equation is studied using a similarity transformation that turns the equation into a nonlocal equation whose steady solutions are stable. This allows energy methods to be used, instead of the comparison principles used previously. Among the questions discussed are the time and location of blow-up of perturbations of the steady blow-up profile.

Simmetria delle soluzioni di equazioni ellittiche semilineari in R N

Alberto Farina (1999)

Atti della Accademia Nazionale dei Lincei. Classe di Scienze Fisiche, Matematiche e Naturali. Rendiconti Lincei. Matematica e Applicazioni

Nella prima parte di questa Nota si dimostrano dei risultati di simmetria unidimensionale e radiale per le soluzioni di Δ u + f u = 0 in R N . Questi risultati sono legati a due congetture (De Giorgi, 1978 e Gibbons, 1994) riguardanti la classificazione delle soluzioni dell’equazione Δ u + u 1 - u 2 = 0 in R N . Si dimostra, in particolare, la seguente generalizzazione della congettura di Gibbons: se N > 1 e se l’insieme degli zeri di u è limitato nella direzione ν , allora u x = u 0 ν x , ovvero, u è unidimensionale. Nella seconda parte si considerano...

Simplified models of quantum fluids in nuclear physics

Bernard Ducomet (2001)

Mathematica Bohemica

We revisit a hydrodynamical model, derived by Wong from Time-Dependent-Hartree-Fock approximation, to obtain a simplified version of nuclear matter. We obtain well-posed problems of Navier-Stokes-Poisson-Yukawa type, with some unusual features due to quantum aspects, for which one can prove local existence. In the case of a one-dimensional nuclear slab, we can prove a result of global existence, by using a formal analogy with some model of nonlinear "viscoelastic" rods.

Simplifying numerical solution of constrained PDE systems through involutive completion

Bijan Mohammadi, Jukka Tuomela (2005)

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

When analysing general systems of PDEs, it is important first to find the involutive form of the initial system. This is because the properties of the system cannot in general be determined if the system is not involutive. We show that the notion of involutivity is also interesting from the numerical point of view. The use of the involutive form of the system allows one to consider quite general situations in a unified way. We illustrate our approach on the numerical solution of several flow equations...

Simulation of electrophysiological waves with an unstructured finite element method

Yves Bourgault, Marc Ethier, Victor G. LeBlanc (2003)

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

Bidomain models are commonly used for studying and simulating electrophysiological waves in the cardiac tissue. Most of the time, the associated PDEs are solved using explicit finite difference methods on structured grids. We propose an implicit finite element method using unstructured grids for an anisotropic bidomain model. The impact and numerical requirements of unstructured grid methods is investigated using a test case with re-entrant waves.

Simultaneous controllability in sharp time for two elastic strings

Sergei Avdonin, Marius Tucsnak (2001)

ESAIM: Control, Optimisation and Calculus of Variations

We study the simultaneously reachable subspace for two strings controlled from a common endpoint. We give necessary and sufficient conditions for simultaneous spectral and approximate controllability. Moreover we prove the lack of simultaneous exact controllability and we study the space of simultaneously reachable states as a function of the position of the joint. For each type of controllability result we give the sharp controllability time.
