On formal theory of differential equations. III.

Jan Chrastina (1991)

Mathematica Bohemica

Elements of the general theory of Lie-Cartan pseudogroups (including the intransitive case) are developed within the framework of infinitely prolonged systems of partial differential equations (diffieties) which makes it independent of any particular realizations by transformations of geometric object. Three axiomatic approaches, the concepts of essential invariant, subgroup, normal subgroup and factorgroups are discussed. The existence of a very special canonical composition series based on Cauchy...

On the mixed problem for hyperbolic partial differential-functional equations of the first order

Tomasz Człapiński (1999)

Czechoslovak Mathematical Journal

We consider the mixed problem for the hyperbolic partial differential-functional equation of the first order D x z ( x , y ) = f ( x , y , z ( x , y ) , D y z ( x , y ) ) , where z ( x , y ) [ - τ , 0 ] × [ 0 , h ] is a function defined by z ( x , y ) ( t , s ) = z ( x + t , y + s ) , ( t , s ) [ - τ , 0 ] × [ 0 , h ] . Using the method of bicharacteristics and the method of successive approximations for a certain integral-functional system we prove, under suitable assumptions, a theorem of the local existence of generalized solutions of this problem.

On the nodal set of the second eigenfunction of the laplacian in symmetric domains in R N

We present a simple proof of the fact that if Ω is a bounded domain in R N , N 2 , which is convex and symmetric with respect to k orthogonal directions, 1 k N , then the nodal sets of the eigenfunctions of the laplacian corresponding to the eigenvalues λ 2 , , λ k + 1 must intersect the boundary. This result was proved by Payne in the case N = 2 for the second eigenfunction, and by other authors in the case of convex domains in the plane, again for the second eigenfunction.
