We discuss invariants and conservation laws for a nonlinear system of Klein-Gordon equations with Hamiltonian structure ⎧$u_{tt}-\Delta u+m²u=-F₁\left(\right|u|²,|v\left|²\right)u$, ⎨ ⎩$v_{tt}-\Delta v+m²v=-F₂\left(\right|u|²,|v\left|²\right)v$ for which there exists a function F(λ,μ) such that ∂F(λ,μ)/∂λ = F₁(λ,μ), ∂F(λ,μ)/∂μ = F₂(λ,μ). Based on Morawetz-type identity, we prove that solutions to the above system decay to zero in local L²-norm, and local energy also decays to zero if the initial energy satisfies $E(u,v,ℝⁿ,0)=1/2{\int }_{ℝⁿ}\left(\right|\nabla u\left(0\right)|²+|u_t\left(0\right)|²+m²|u\left(0\right)|²+|\nabla v\left(0\right)|²+|v_t\left(0\right)|²+m²|v\left(0\right)|²+F(\left|u\left(0\right)\right|²,\left|v\left(0\right)\right|²\left)\right)dx<\infty$, and F₁(|u|²,|v|²)|u|² + F₂(|u|²,|v|²)|v|² - F(|u|²,|v|²) ≥ aF(|u|²,|v|²) ≥ 0, a > 0.

On définit des invariants entiers mesurant l’irrégularité d’un point singulier d’un système différentiel. Les propriétés de ces invariants, l’étude de la variation de l’ordre de la singularité par perturbation linéaire ainsi qu’une généralisation d’un théorème de W. Jurkat et D.A. Lutz permettent de donner une méthode de calcul de cet ordre.

Inertial manifold with delay (IMD) for dissipative systems of second order in time is constructed. This result is applied to the study of different asymptotic properties of solutions. Using IMD, we construct approximate inertial manifolds containing all the stationary solutions and give a new characterization of the K-invariant manifold.

We study the corrector matrix $P^{\epsilon }$ to the conductivity equations. We show that if $P^{\epsilon }$ converges weakly to the identity, then for any laminate $det{P}^{\epsilon }\ge 0$ at almost every point. This simple property is shown to be false for generic microgeometries if the dimension is greater than two in the work Briane et al. [Arch. Ration. Mech. Anal., to appear]. In two dimensions it holds true for any microgeometry as a corollary of the work in Alessandrini and Nesi [Arch. Ration. Mech. Anal.158 (2001) 155-171]. We use this...

We consider the semilinear wave equation with power nonlinearity in one space dimension. We first show the existence of a blow-up solution with a characteristic point. Then, we consider an arbitrary blow-up solution $u(x,t)$, the graph $x\mapsto T\left(x\right)$ of its blow-up points and $𝒮\subset ℝ$ the set of all characteristic points and show that $𝒮$ is locally finite. Finally, given $x_0\in 𝒮$, we show that in selfsimilar variables, the solution decomposes into a decoupled sum of (at least two) solitons, with alternate signs and that $T\left(x\right)$ forms a...
