Funzioni ( p , q ) -convesse

Ennio De Giorgi, Antonio Marino, Mario Tosques (1982)

Atti della Accademia Nazionale dei Lincei. Classe di Scienze Fisiche, Matematiche e Naturali. Rendiconti Lincei. Matematica e Applicazioni

We study a class of functions which differ essentially from those which are the sum of a convex function and a regular one and which have interesting properties related to Γ -convergence and to problems with non-convex constraints. In particular some results are given for the associated evolution equations.

Generalized Cauchy problems for hyperbolic functional differential systems

Elżbieta Puźniakowska-Gałuch (2014)

Annales Polonici Mathematici

A generalized Cauchy problem for hyperbolic functional differential systems is considered. The initial problem is transformed into a system of functional integral equations. The existence of solutions of this system is proved by using the method of successive approximations. Differentiability of solutions with respect to initial functions is proved. It is important that functional differential systems considered in this paper do not satisfy the Volterra condition.

Generalized gradient flow and singularities of the Riemannian distance function

Piermarco Cannarsa (2012/2013)

Séminaire Laurent Schwartz — EDP et applications

Significant information about the topology of a bounded domain Ω of a Riemannian manifold M is encoded into the properties of the distance, d Ω , from the boundary of Ω . We discuss recent results showing the invariance of the singular set of the distance function with respect to the generalized gradient flow of d Ω , as well as applications to homotopy equivalence.

Germes de configurations legendriennes stables et fonctions d'Airy-Weber généralisées

Nguyen Hu'u Du'c, Frédéric Pham (1991)

Annales de l'institut Fourier

On sait depuis Maslov, Arnold, etc... associer à presque tout germe de variété lagrangienne ou legendrienne lisse une classe de fonctions oscillantes qui sous des hypothèses génériques à la Thom fournissent des modèles universels pour le comportement d’une onde lumineuse au voisinage de la caustique.Le présent article étend cette construction à une classe de situations où la variété caractéristique est un germe singulier (union de composantes lisses), qui peut néanmoins être stable en ce sens que...

Hamilton-Jacobi flows and characterization of solutions of Aronsson equations

Petri Juutinen, Eero Saksman (2007)

Annali della Scuola Normale Superiore di Pisa - Classe di Scienze

In this note, we verify the conjecture of Barron, Evans and Jensen [3] regarding the characterization of viscosity solutions of general Aronsson equations in terms of the properties of associated forward and backwards Hamilton-Jacobi flows. A special case of this result is analogous to the characterization of infinity harmonic functions in terms of convexity and concavity of the functions r max y B r ( x ) u ( y ) and r min y B r ( x ) u ( y ) , respectively.

Hardy and Hardy-Sobolev Spaces on Strongly Lipschitz Domains and Some Applications

Xiaming Chen, Renjin Jiang, Dachun Yang (2016)

Analysis and Geometry in Metric Spaces

Let Ω ⊂ Rn be a strongly Lipschitz domain. In this article, the authors study Hardy spaces, Hpr (Ω)and Hpz (Ω), and Hardy-Sobolev spaces, H1,pr (Ω) and H1,pz,0 (Ω) on , for p ∈ ( n/n+1, 1]. The authors establish grand maximal function characterizations of these spaces. As applications, the authors obtain some div-curl lemmas in these settings and, when is a bounded Lipschitz domain, the authors prove that the divergence equation div u = f for f ∈ Hpz (Ω) is solvable in H1,pz,0 (Ω) with suitable...

Homogenization and localization in locally periodic transport

Grégoire Allaire, Guillaume Bal, Vincent Siess (2002)

ESAIM: Control, Optimisation and Calculus of Variations

In this paper, we study the homogenization and localization of a spectral transport equation posed in a locally periodic heterogeneous domain. This equation models the equilibrium of particles interacting with an underlying medium in the presence of a creation mechanism such as, for instance, neutrons in nuclear reactors. The physical coefficients of the domain are ε -periodic functions modulated by a macroscopic variable, where ε is a small parameter. The mean free path of the particles is also...

Homogenization of a spectral equation with drift in linear transport

Guillaume Bal (2001)

ESAIM: Control, Optimisation and Calculus of Variations

This paper deals with the homogenization of a spectral equation posed in a periodic domain in linear transport theory. The particle density at equilibrium is given by the unique normalized positive eigenvector of this spectral equation. The corresponding eigenvalue indicates the amount of particle creation necessary to reach this equilibrium. When the physical parameters satisfy some symmetry conditions, it is known that the eigenvectors of this equation can be approximated by the product of two...
