Relative Morse Indices, Fredholm Indices, and Group Velocities

چکیده
We discuss Fredholm properties of the linearization of partial differential equations on cylindrical domains about travelling and modulated waves. We show that the Fredholm index of each such linearization is given by a relative Morse index which depends only on the asymptotic coefficients. Several strategies are outlined that help to compute relative Morse indices using crossing numbers of spatial eigenvalues, and the results are applied to prove the existence of small viscous shock waves in hyperbolic conservation laws upon adding small localized time-periodic source terms.

Peak systolic velocity indices are more sensitive than end-systolic indices in detecting contraction changes assessed by echocardiography in young healthy humans.
AIMS It remains to be proven whether left ventricular (LV) peak systolic velocity indices (peak systolic annulus tissue velocities, ejection velocity, and strain rate) are more closely related to contraction than LV end-systolic echocardiographic indices (ejection fraction, fractional shortening, systolic annulus displacement, global strain, and ejection velocity time integral). The study aimed...
متن کاملGeneric Jumps of Fredholm Indices and the Quantum Hall Effect
We describe the generic behavior of Fredholm indices in the space of Toeplitz operators. We relate this behavior to certain conjectures and open problems that arise in the context of the Quantum Hall Effect.
متن کاملA few remarks about operator theory, topology, and analysis on metric spaces
Some basic facts about Fredholm indices are briefly reviewed, often used in connection with Toeplitz and pseudodifferential operators, and which may be relevant for operators associated to fractals. Let H be a complex infinite-dimensional separable Hilbert space, which is of course unique up to isomorphism. Let B(H) be the Banach algebra of bounded linear operators on H, and let C(H) be the clo...
متن کاملThe Morse and Maslov indices for matrix Hill’s equations
For Hill’s equations with matrix valued periodic potential, we discuss relations between the Morse index, counting the number of unstable eigenvalues, and the Maslov index, counting the number of signed intersections of a path in the space of Lagrangian planes with a fixed plane. We adapt to the one dimensional periodic setting the strategy of a recent paper by J. Deng and C. Jones relating the...
متن کاملHopf bifurcation from fronts in the Cahn-Hilliard equation
We study Hopf bifurcation from traveling-front solutions in the Cahn-Hilliard equation. The primary front is induced by a moving source term. Models of this form have been used to study a variety of physical phenomena, including pattern formation in chemical deposition and precipitation processes. Technically, we study bifurcation in the presence of essential spectrum. We contribute a simple an...
