In this paper, we consider one-dimensional wave equation with real-valued square-summable potential. We establish the long-time asymptotics of solutions by, first, studying the stationary problem and, second, using the spectral representation for the evolution equation. In particular, we prove that part of the wave travels ballistically if q ∈ L2(ℝ+) and this result is sharp.

The existence of solutions to a nonlinear parabolic equation describing the temporal evolution of a cloud of self-gravitating particles with a given external potential is studied in weak-$L^p$ spaces (i.e. Markiewicz spaces). The main goal is to prove the existence of global solutions and to study their large time behaviour.

We consider an initial-boundary value problem for a fourth order degenerate parabolic equation. Under some assumptions on the initial value, we establish the existence of weak solutions by the discrete-time method. The asymptotic behavior and the finite speed of propagation of perturbations of solutions are also discussed.

We consider the linear Schrödinger equation under periodic boundary conditions, driven by a random force and damped by a quasilinear damping: $$\frac{\mathrm{d}}{\mathrm{d}t}u+\mathrm{i}\left(-\Delta +V\left(x\right)\right)u=\nu \left(\Delta u-{\gamma }_R{\left|u\right|}^{2p}u-\mathrm{i}{\gamma }_I{\left|u\right|}^{2q}u\right)+\sqrt{\nu }\eta (t,x).(*)$$ The force $\eta$ is white in time and smooth in $x$; the potential $V\left(x\right)$ is typical. We are concerned with the limiting, as $\nu \to 0$, behaviour of solutions on long time-intervals $0\le t\le {\nu }^{-1}T$, and with behaviour of these solutions under the double limit $t\to \infty$ and $\nu \to 0$. We show that these two limiting behaviours may be described in terms of solutions for thesystem of effective equations for(...

The paper deals with homogenization of a linear elliptic boundary problem with a specific class of uncertain coefficients describing composite materials with periodic structure. Instead of stochastic approach to the problem, we use the worst scenario method due to Hlaváček (method of reliable solution). A few criterion functionals are introduced. We focus on the range of the homogenized coefficients from knowledge of the ranges of individual components in the composite, on the values of generalized...
