On the circle criterion for boundary control systems in factor form : Lyapunov stability and Lur’e equations

Piotr Grabowski, Frank M. Callier (2006)

ESAIM: Control, Optimisation and Calculus of Variations

A Lur’e feedback control system consisting of a linear, infinite-dimensional system of boundary control in factor form and a nonlinear static sector type controller is considered. A criterion of absolute strong asymptotic stability of the null equilibrium is obtained using a quadratic form Lyapunov functional. The construction of such a functional is reduced to solving a Lur’e system of equations. A sufficient strict circle criterion of solvability of the latter is found, which is based on results...

On the exact WKB analysis of microdifferential operators of WKB type

Takashi Aoki, Takahiro Kawai, Tatsuya Koike, Yoshitsugu Takei (2004)

Annales de l’institut Fourier

We first introduce the notion of microdifferential operators of WKB type and then develop their exact WKB analysis using microlocal analysis; a recursive way of constructing a WKB solution for such an operator is given through the symbol calculus of microdifferential operators, and their local structure near their turning points is discussed by a Weierstrass-type division theorem for such operators. A detailed study of the Berk-Book equation is given in Appendix.

On the existence of multiple positive solutions for a certain class of elliptic problems

Aleksandra Orpel (2004)

Banach Center Publications

We investigate the existence of solutions for the Dirichlet problem including the generalized balance of a membrane equation. We present a duality theory and variational principle for this problem. As one of the consequences of the duality we obtain some numerical results which give a measure of a duality gap between the primal and dual functional for approximate solutions.

On the Fefferman-Phong inequality

Abdesslam Boulkhemair (2008)

Annales de l’institut Fourier

We show that the number of derivatives of a non negative 2-order symbol needed to establish the classical Fefferman-Phong inequality is bounded by n 2 + 4 + ϵ improving thus the bound 2 n + 4 + ϵ obtained recently by N. Lerner and Y. Morimoto. In the case of symbols of type S 0 , 0 0 , we show that this number is bounded by n + 4 + ϵ ; more precisely, for a non negative symbol a , the Fefferman-Phong inequality holds if x α ξ β a ( x , ξ ) are bounded for, roughly, 4 | α | + | β | n + 4 + ϵ . To obtain such results and others, we first prove an abstract result which says that...
