In this paper, we study the bubbling phenomena of weak solution sequences of a class of degenerate quasilinear elliptic systems of m-harmonic type. We prove that, under appropriate conditions, the energy is preserved during the bubbling process. The results apply to m-harmonic maps from a manifold Ω to a homogeneous space, and to m-harmonic maps with constant volumes, and also to certain Palais...

It is shown that the nonhomogeneous Dirichlet and Neuman problems for the 2nd-order Seiberg-Witten equation on a compact 4-manifold X admit a regular solution once the nonhomogeneous Palais-Smale condition is satisfied. The approach consists in applying the elliptic techniques to the variational setting of the Seiberg-Witten equation. The gauge invariance of the functional allows to restrict th...

We consider a class of variational systems in R N of the form where a; b : R N ! R are continuous functions which are coercive; i.e., a(x) and b(x) approach plus innnity as x approaches plus innnity. Under appropriate growth and regularity conditions on the nonlinearities Fu(:) and Fv (:), the (weak) solutions are precisely the critical points of a related functional deened on a Hilbert space o...

We establish existence of global-in-time weak solutions to the one dimensional, compressible Navier-Stokes system for a viscous and heat conducting ideal polytropic gas (pressure p = Kθ/τ , internal energy e = cvθ), when the viscosity μ is constant and the heat conductivity κ depends on the temperature θ according to κ(θ) = κ̄θ , with 0 ≤ β < 3 2 . This choice of degenerate transport coefficient...

In this paper boundedness and compactness of generalized composition oper-ators from logarithmic Bloch type spaces to Q_K type spaces are investigated.

abstract: A base B of a space X is called an OIF base when every element of B is a subset of only a finite number of other elements of B. We will explore the fundamental properties of spaces having such bases. In particular, we will show that in T2 spaces, strong OIF bases are the same as uniform bases, and that in T3 spaces where all subspaces have OIF bases, compactness, countable compactness...

In this paper, Lowen’s strong fuzzy compactness and ultra-fuzzy compactness of I -topological spaces are extended to L-subsets, for L—a complete lattice. The properties of strong fuzzy compact L-subsets and ultra-fuzzy compact L-subsets are studied in detail here, and comparisons between these notions as well as the notion of N-compactness are shown. c © 2004 Elsevier B.V.

Our goal for this lecture is to prove that morphisms of projective varieties are closed maps. In fact we will prove something stronger, that projective varieties are complete, a property that plays a role comparable to compactness in topology. For varieties, compactness as a topological space does not mean much because the Zariski topology is so coarse. Indeed, every subset of An (and hence of ...
