The Cauchy Problem for Membranes
نویسنده
چکیده
We show existence and uniqueness for timelike minimal submanifolds (world volume of p-branes) in ambient Lorentz manifolds admitting a time function in a neighborhood of the initial submanifold. The initial value formulation introduced and the conditions imposed on the initial data are given in purely geometric terms. Only an initial direction must be prescribed in order to provide uniqueness for the geometric problem. The result covers non-compact initial submanifolds of any codimension. By considering the angle of the initial direction and vector fields normal to the initial submanifold with the unit normal to the foliation given by the time function we obtain a quantitative description of “distance” to the light cone. This description makes it possible to treat initial data which are arbitrarily close to the light cone. Imposing uniform assumptions give a lower bound for a notion of “time of existence” depending only on geometric quantities involving the length of timelike curves lying in the solution.

Nvestigation of a Boundary Layer Problem for Perturbed Cauchy-Riemann Equation with Non-local Boundary Condition
Boundary layer problems (Singular perturbation problems) more have been applied for ordinary differential equations. While this theory for partial differential equations have many applications in several fields of physics and engineering. Because of complexity of limit and boundary behavior of the solutions of partial differential equations these problems considered less than ordinary case. In ...

In this paper, we consider the existence and uniqueness of the global solution for the sixth-order damped Boussinesq equation. Moreover, the finite-time blow-up of the solution for the equation is investigated by the concavity method.
متن کاملSchwarz boundary problem on a triangle
In this paper, the Schwarz boundary value problem (BVP) for the inhomogeneous Cauchy-Riemann equation in a triangle is investigated explicitly. Firstly, by the technique of parquetingreflection and the Cauchy-Pompeiu representation formula a modified Cauchy-Schwarz representation formula is obtained. Then, the solution of the Schwarz BVP is explicitly solved. In particular, the boundary behavio...

متن کاملAdomian Decomposition Method On Nonlinear Singular Cauchy Problem of Euler-Poisson- Darbuox equation
n this paper, we apply Picard’s Iteration Method followed by Adomian Decomposition Method to solve a nonlinear Singular Cauchy Problem of Euler- Poisson- Darboux Equation. The solution of the problem is much simplified and shorter to arriving at the solution as compared to the technique applied by Carroll and Showalter (1976)in the solution of Singular Cauchy Problem.
