A new infinite order formulation of variational sequences

Raffaele Vitolo (1998)

Archivum Mathematicum

The theory of variational bicomplexes is a natural geometrical setting for the calculus of variations on a fibred manifold. It is a well–established theory although not spread out very much among theoretical and mathematical physicists. Here, we present a new approach to infinite order variational bicomplexes based upon the finite order approach due to Krupka. In this approach the information related to the order of jets is lost, but we have a considerable simplification both in the exposition...

A nilpotent Lie algebra and eigenvalue estimates

Jacek Dziubański, Andrzej Hulanicki, Joe Jenkins (1995)

Colloquium Mathematicae

The aim of this paper is to demonstrate how a fairly simple nilpotent Lie algebra can be used as a tool to study differential operators on n with polynomial coefficients, especially when the property studied depends only on the degree of the polynomials involved and/or the number of variables.

A nonlinear parabolic problem on a Riemannian manifold without boundary arising in climatology.

J. I. Díaz, L. Tello (1999)

Collectanea Mathematica

We present some results on the mathematical treatment of a global two-dimensional diffusive climate model. The model is based on a long time averaged energy balance and leads to a nonlinear parabolic equation for the averaged surface temperature. The spatial domain is a compact two-dimensional Riemannian manifold without boundary simulating the Earth. We prove the existence of bounded weak solutions via a fixed point argument. Although, the uniqueness of solutions may fail, in general, we give a...
