For one-dimensional p-Laplacian with weights in Lγ : L 0, 1 ,R 1 ≤ γ ≤ ∞ balls, we are interested in the extremal values of the mth positive half-eigenvalues associated with Dirichlet, Neumann, and generalized periodic boundary conditions, respectively. It will be shown that the extremal value problems for half-eigenvalues are equivalent to those for eigenvalues, and all these extremal values a...

Immersing a physical system in a heat bath results in the fields acquiring different properties according to their statistics. E.g., finite-temperature bosonic fields obey periodic boundary conditions, while fermionic fields satisfy antiperiodic b.c.’s. Such a distinction can be seen also at the level of the Green’s functions. Depending on the field’s statistics, thermal propagators obey either...

The Cauchy problem for the 2D Boussinesq system with periodic boundary conditions is studied. The global existence and uniqueness of a solution with initial data (u(0), θ(0)) ∈ Φ(α) is established, where Φ(α) is the space of functions the kth Fourier coefficients of which decay at infinity as 1 |k|α , α > 2. It is proved that the solution becomes analytic at any positive time. Bibliography: 10 ...

L is a continuous function from R× into X and f is a continuous function from R to X . The theory of functional differential equations with infinite delay has been developed by several authors. The fundamental task of that kind of equations is the choice of phase space . Since the history function t→ ut is not continuous in general if u : (−∞,T] → X is continuous (where T > 0). The paper [9] co...

We consider the one-dimensional Willmore equation subject to Navier boundary conditions, i.e. the position and the curvature are prescribed on the boundary. In a previous work, explicit symmetric solutions to symmetric data have been constructed. Within a certain range of boundary curvatures one has precisely two symmetric solutions while for boundary curvatures outside the closure of this rang...

Given two finite sets of integers S ⊆ N \ {0} and D ⊆ N \ {0, 1}, the impartial combinatorial game i-Mark(S,D) is played on a heap of tokens. From a heap of n tokens, each player can move either to a heap of n − s tokens for some s ∈ S, or to a heap of n/d tokens for some d ∈ D if d divides n. Such games can be considered as an integral variant of Mark-type games, introduced by Elwyn Berlekamp ...

Co-author: Lúıs Castro We will present a study of the Fredholm property for matrix Wiener-Hopf plus/minus Hankel operators with semi-almost periodic Fourier symbols. The Fredholm property will be described based on certain factorizations of the representatives at infinity of the original symbols, and on the geometrical mean values of the corresponding factors. The Fredholm indices of those oper...

We have simulated a system of classical particles confined on the surface of a sphere interacting with a repulsive r potential. The same system simulated on a plane with periodic boundary conditions has van der Waals loops in pressure-density plots which are usually interpreted as evidence for a first order melting transition, but on the sphere such loops are absent. We also investigated the st...
