Nonlinear feedback stabilization of a rotating body-beam without damping

Boumediène CHENTOUF, Jean-François COUCHOURON (2010)

ESAIM: Control, Optimisation and Calculus of Variations

This paper deals with nonlinear feedback stabilization problem of a flexible beam clamped at a rigid body and free at the other end. We assume that there is no damping and the feedback law proposed here consists of a nonlinear control torque applied to the rigid body and either a boundary control moment or a nonlinear boundary control force or both of them applied to the free end of the beam. This nonlinear feedback, which insures the exponential decay of the beam vibrations, extends the linear...

Nonlinear Heat Equation with a Fractional Laplacian in a Disk

Vladimir Varlamov (1999)

Colloquium Mathematicae

For the nonlinear heat equation with a fractional Laplacian u t + ( - Δ ) α / 2 u = u 2 , 1 < α ≤ 2, the first initial-boundary value problem in a disk is considered. Small initial conditions, homogeneous boundary conditions, and periodicity conditions in the angular coordinate are imposed. Existence and uniqueness of a global-in-time solution is proved, and the solution is constructed in the form of a series of eigenfunctions of the Laplace operator in the disk. First-order long-time asymptotics of the solution is obtained....

Nonlinear models of suspension bridges: discussion of the results

Pavel Drábek, Gabriela Holubová, Aleš Matas, Petr Nečesal (2003)

Applications of Mathematics

In this paper we present several nonlinear models of suspension bridges; most of them have been introduced by Lazer and McKenna. We discuss some results which were obtained by the authors and other mathematicians for the boundary value problems and initial boundary value problems. Our intention is to point out the character of these results and to show which mathematical methods were used to prove them instead of giving precise proofs and statements.

Nonlinear nonlocal evolution problems.

N.-H. Chang, M. Chipot (2003)

RACSAM

We consider a class of nonlinear parabolic problems where the coefficients are depending on a weighted integral of the solution. We address the issues of existence, uniqueness, stationary solutions and in some cases asymptotic behaviour.

Nonlinear Pulse Propagation

Jeffrey Rauch (2001)

Journées équations aux dérivées partielles

This talk gives a brief review of some recent progress in the asymptotic analysis of short pulse solutions of nonlinear hyperbolic partial differential equations. This includes descriptions on the scales of geometric optics and diffractive geometric optics, and also studies of special situations where pulses passing through focal points can be analysed.

Nonlinear Schrödinger equation on four-dimensional compact manifolds

Patrick Gérard, Vittoria Pierfelice (2010)

Bulletin de la Société Mathématique de France

We prove two new results about the Cauchy problem in the energy space for nonlinear Schrödinger equations on four-dimensional compact manifolds. The first one concerns global well-posedness for Hartree-type nonlinearities and includes approximations of cubic NLS on the sphere as a particular case. The second one provides, in the case of zonal data on the sphere, local well-posedness for quadratic nonlinearities as well as a necessary and sufficient condition of global well-posedness for small energy...
