Selfadjoint Extensions for the Elasticity System in Shape Optimization

Serguei A. Nazarov, Jan Sokołowski (2004)

Bulletin of the Polish Academy of Sciences. Mathematics

Two approaches are proposed to modelling of topological variations in elastic solids. The first approach is based on the theory of selfadjoint extensions of differential operators. In the second approach function spaces with separated asymptotics and point asymptotic conditions are introduced, and a variational formulation is established. For both approaches, accuracy estimates are derived.

Self-similar solutions for the two-dimensional Nernst-Planck-Debye system

Łukasz Paszkowski (2012)

Applicationes Mathematicae

We investigate the two-component Nernst-Planck-Debye system by a numerical study of self-similar solutions using the Runge-Kutta method of order four and comparing the results obtained with the solutions of a one-component system. Properties of the solutions indicated by numerical simulations are proved and an existence result is established based on comparison arguments for singular ordinary differential equations.

Solitary wave and other solutions for nonlinear heat equations

Anatoly Nikitin, Tetyana Barannyk (2004)

Open Mathematics

A number of explicit solutions for the heat equation with a polynomial non-linearity and for the Fisher equation is presented. An extended class of non-linear heat equations admitting solitary wave solutions is described. The generalization of the Fisher equation is proposed whose solutions propagate with arbitrary ad hoc fixed velocity.

Solitons and Gibbs Measures for Nonlinear Schrödinger Equations

K. Kirkpatrick (2012)

Mathematical Modelling of Natural Phenomena

We review some recent results concerning Gibbs measures for nonlinear Schrödinger equations (NLS), with implications for the theory of the NLS, including stability and typicality of solitary wave structures. In particular, we discuss the Gibbs measures of the discrete NLS in three dimensions, where there is a striking phase transition to soliton-like behavior.
