On the coupled system of nonlinear wave equations with different propagation speeds
We investigate the solvability of the Neumann problem (1.1) involving a critical Sobolev exponent and lower order perturbations in bounded domains. Solutions are obtained by min max methods based on a topological linking. A nonlinear perturbation of a lower order is allowed to interfere with the spectrum of the operator -Δ with the Neumann boundary conditions.
We consider the Laplace operator in a thin tube of with a Dirichlet condition on its boundary. We study asymptotically the spectrum of such an operator as the thickness of the tube's cross section goes to zero. In particular we analyse how the energy levels depend simultaneously on the curvature of the tube's central axis and on the rotation of the cross section with respect to the Frenet frame. The main argument is a Γ-convergence theorem for a suitable sequence of quadratic energies.
This paper is intended to provide the reader with a review of the authors’ latest results dealing with the modeling of quantum dissipation/diffusion effects at the level of Schrödinger systems, in connection with the corresponding phase space and fluid formulations of such kind of phenomena, especially in what concerns the role of the Fokker–Planck mechanism in the description of open quantum systems and the macroscopic dynamics associated with some viscous hydrodynamic models of Euler and Navier–Stokes...
We present the semi-conductor Boltzmann equation, which is time-reversible, and indicate that it can be formally derived by considering the large time and small perturbing potential limit in the Von-Neumann equation (time-reversible). We then rigorously compute the corresponding asymptotics in the case of the Von-Neumann equation on the Torus. We show that the limiting equation we obtain does not coincide with the physically realistic model. The former is indeed an equation of Boltzmann type, yet...
In this paper we study the derivation of homogeneous hydrostatic equations starting from 2D Euler equations, following for instance [2,9]. We give a convergence result for convex profiles and a divergence result for a particular inflexion profile.
