Three problems arising in approximation theory are studied. These problems have already been studied by Arthur Sard. The main goal of this paper is to use geometrical compatibility theory to extend Sard's results and get characterizations of the sets of solutions.
We study the stability of self-similar solutions of the binormal flow, which is a model for the dynamics of vortex filaments in fluids and super-fluids. These particular solutions form a family of evolving regular curves in that develop a singularity in finite time, indexed by a parameter . We consider curves that are small regular perturbations of for a fixed time . In particular, their curvature is not vanishing at infinity, so we are not in the context of known results of local existence...
The scattering matrix is defined on a perturbed stratified medium. For a class of perturbations, its main part at fixed energy is a Fourier integral operator on the sphere at infinity. Proving this is facilitated by developing a refined limiting absorption principle. The symbol of the scattering matrix determines the asymptotics of a large class of perturbations.
In this paper, we consider a family of scattering problems in perforated unbounded domains Ωε. We assume that the perforation is contained in a bounded region and that the holes have a ?critical? size. We study the asymptotic behaviour of the outgoing solutions of the steady-state scattering problem and we prove that an extra term appears in the limit equation. Finally, we obtain convergence results for scattering frequencies and solutions.
Strong asymptotic completeness is shown for a pair of Schrödinger type operators on a cylindrical Lipschitz domain. A key ingredient is a limiting absorption principle valid in a scale of weighted (local) Sobolev spaces with respect to the uniform topology. The results are based on a refined version of Mourre’s method within the context of pseudo-selfadjoint operators.
