We consider the pseudo--laplacian, an anisotropic version of the -laplacian operator for . We study relevant properties of its first eigenfunction for finite and the limit problem as .
We consider the pseudo-p-Laplacian, an anisotropic version of the p-Laplacian operator for . We study relevant properties of its first eigenfunction for finite p and the limit problem as p → ∞.
We show that the ``radiation field'' introduced by F.G. Friedlander, mapping Cauchy data for the wave equation to the rescaled asymptotic behavior of the wave, is a Fourier integral operator on any non-trapping asymptotically hyperbolic or asymptotically conic manifold. The underlying canonical relation is associated to a ``sojourn time'' or ``Busemann function'' for geodesics. As a consequence we obtain some information about the high frequency behavior of the scattering...
Let be a compact manifold with boundary, and a scattering metric on , which may be either of short range or “gravitational” long range type. Thus, gives the geometric structure of a complete manifold with an asymptotically conic end. Let be an operator of the form , where is the Laplacian with respect to and is a self-adjoint first order scattering differential operator with coefficients vanishing at and satisfying a “gravitational” condition. We define a symbol calculus for...
This paper is devoted to some nonlinear propagation phenomena in periodic and more general domains, for reaction-diffusion equations with Kolmogorov–Petrovsky–Piskunov (KPP) type nonlinearities. The case of periodic domains with periodic underlying excitable media is a follow-up of the article [7]. It is proved that the minimal speed of pulsating fronts is given by a variational formula involving linear eigenvalue problems. Some consequences concerning the influence of the geometry of the domain,...
