A combinatorial version of Yamabe flow is presented based on Euclidean triangulations coming from sphere packings. The evolution of curvature is then derived and shown to satisfy a heat equation. The Laplacian in the heat equation is shown to be a geometric analogue of the Laplacian of Riemannian geometry, although the maximum principle need not hold. It is then shown that if the flow is nonsin...

Frequency-dependent attenuation typically obeys an empirical power law with an exponent ranging from 0 to 2. The standard time-domain partial differential equation models can describe merely two extreme cases of frequency-independent and frequency-squared dependent attenuations. The otherwise nonzero and nonsquare frequency dependency occurring in many cases of practical interest is thus often ...

This paper is concerned with a 2nth-order p-Laplacian difference equation. By using the critical point method, we establish various sets of sufficient conditions for the nonexistence and existence of solutions for Neumann boundary value problem and give some new results. Results obtained successfully generalize and complement the existing ones.

This article considers the problem of building absolutely minimizing Lipschitz extensions to a given function. These extensions can be characterized as being the solution of a degenerate elliptic partial differential equation, the “infinity Laplacian”, for which there exist unique viscosity solutions. A convergent difference scheme for the infinity Laplacian equation is introduced, which arises...

Let L(G) be the Laplacian matrix of G. In this paper, we characterize all of the connected graphs with second largest Laplacian eigenvalue no more than l; where l . = 3.2470 is the largest root of the equation μ3 − 5μ2 + 6μ − 1 = 0. Moreover, this result is used to characterize all connected graphs with second largest Laplacian eigenvalue no more than three. © 2013 Elsevier Ltd. All rights rese...

Abstract. We study the dynamics of the Schrödinger equation with a fractional Laplacian (−∆), and the decoherence of the solution is observed in certain cases. Analytically, we find equations describing the dynamics of the expected position and expected momentum in the fractional Schödinger equation, equations that are the fractional counterpart of the Newtonian equations of motion for the non-...

In this paper, we study an ill-posed, nonlinear inverse problem in heat conduction and hy-drology applications. In 2], the problem is linearized to give a linear integral equation, which is then solved by the Tikhonov method with the identity as the regularization operator. We prove in this paper that the resulting equation is well-condition and has clustered spectrum. Hence if the conjugate gr...

Let V $$ be a finite set, E ⊂ 2 E\subset {2}^V set of hyperedges, and w : → ( 0 , ∞ ) w:E\to \left(0,\infty \right) an edge weight. On the (wighted) hypergraph G = G=\left(V,E,w\right) we can define multivalued nonlinear operator L p {L}_{G,p} ∈ [ 1 p\in \left[1,\infty as subdifferential convex function on ℝ {\mathbb{R}}^V which is called “hypergraph -Laplaci...
