We study the topology of the boundary manifold of a regular neighborhood of a complex projective hypersurface. We show that, under certain Hodge theoretic conditions, the cohomology ring of the complement of the hypersurface functorially determines that of the boundary. When the hypersurface defines a hyperplane arrangement, the cohomology of the boundary is completely determined by the combina...

Entropy functionals (i.e. convex integral functionals) and extensions of these functionals are minimized on convex sets. This paper is aimed at reducing as much as possible the assumptions on the constraint set. Dual equalities and characterizations of the minimizers are obtained with weak constraint qualifications.

We prove existence results for travelling waves in discrete, damped, dc-driven sine-Gordon equations with periodic boundary conditions.

Over twenty years ago, Marc Kac posed what is arguably one of the simplest inverse problems in pure mathematics: "Can one hear the shape of a drum?" [19]. Mathematically, the question is formulated as follows. Let /2 be a simply connected, plane domain (the drumhead) bounded by a smooth curve 7, and consider the wave equation on /2 with Dirichlet boundary condition on 7 (the drumhead is clamped...

In (Golchin A. and Rezaei P., Subpullbacks and flatness properties of S-posets. Comm. Algebra. 37: 1995-2007 (2009)) study was initiated of flatness properties of right -posets  over a pomonoid  that can be described by surjectivity of  corresponding to certain (sub)pullback diagrams and new properties such as  and  were discovered. In this article first of all we describe po-flatness propertie...

We show how to stabilize the uniform oscillations of the complex Ginzburg–Landau equation with periodic boundary conditions by means of some global delayed feedback. The proof is based on an abstract pseudo-linearization principle and a careful study of the spectrum of the linearized operator.

The significance of 2π is that it is a cluster point of the length spectrum from the left (t < 2π), as described in more detail below. In brief, the length spectrum is the closure of the set of lengths of periodic geodesics. The number 2π represents the length of the (generalized) geodesic that follows the circumference of the circle. The number 8 is the geodesic that follows a diameter of the ...

We consider one dimensional p-Laplacian eigenvalue problems of the form −∆pu = (λ− q)|u|p−1sgnu, on (0, b), together with periodic or separated boundary conditions, where p > 1, ∆p is the p-Laplacian, q ∈ C1[0, b], and b > 0, λ ∈ R. It will be shown that when p 6= 2, the structure of the spectrum in the general periodic case (that is, with q 6= 0 and periodic boundary conditions), can be comple...
