TL;DR: In this paper, it was shown that spherically symmetric solutions of the Cauchy problem are asymptotically stable if the initial specific volume is close to a constant in L��∞ and weighted L2.
Abstract: First we prove for the equations of a viscous polytropic ideal gas in bounded annular domains in ℝ n (n=2, 3)that (generalized) spherically symmetric solutions decay to a constant state exponentially as time goes to infinity. Then we show that solutions of the Cauchy problem in ℝare asymptotically stable if the initial specific volume is close to a constant in L ∞ and weighted L2, the initial velocity is small in weighted L2 ∩ L4, and the initial temperature is close to a constant in weighted L2.

TL;DR: In this article, the classical Sbrana-Cartan theory of isometrically deformable euclidean hypersurfaces is extended to the sphere and hyperbolic space.
Abstract: We first extend the classical Sbrana-Cartan theory of isometrically deformable euclidean hypersurfaces to the sphere and hyperbolic space. Then we construct and characterize a large family of hypersurfaces which admit a unique deformation. This is used to show, by means of explicit examples, that different types of hypersurfaces in the Sbrana-Cartan classification can be smoothly attached. Finally, among other applications, we discuss the existence of complete deformable hypersurfaces in hyperbolic space.

TL;DR: In this paper, the Cauchy problem is studied for a class of linear abstract differential equations of hyperbolic type with variable domain, and existence and uniqueness results are proved for (suitably defined) weak solutions.
Abstract: The Cauchy problem is studied for a class of linear abstract differential equations of hyperbolic type with variable domain. Existence and uniqueness results are proved for (suitably defined) weak solutions. Some applications to P.D.E. are also given: they concern linear hyperbolic equations either in non-cylindrical regions or with mixed variable lateral conditions.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated the long-time behavior of the solutions to the Cauchy problem with a nonnegative initial data in L1 (ℝ), when q ∈ (0, 1) and m ⩾ 1.
Abstract: We investigate the long-time behaviour of the solutions to the Cauchy problem $$u_t + (u^q )_x - (u^m )_{xx} = 0$$ with a nonnegative initial data in L1 (ℝ),when q ∈ (0, 1)and m ⩾ 1. We prove that the long-time profile in L1(ℝ)of these solutions is given by the unique nonnegative entropy sourcetype solution to the conservation law ut}+(uq)x=0 with the same mass. Uniqueness of such a solution is previously established. These results extend previous results obtained for the case q>1 and m⩾1.

TL;DR: In this article, the existence and multiplicity results for light-like geodesics joining a point with a timelike curve on a class of Lorentzian manifolds are proved under intrinsic assumptions.
Abstract: In this paper existence and multiplicity results for lightlike geodesics joining a point with a timelike curve on a class of Lorentzian manifolds are proved under intrinsic assumptions. Such results are obtained using an extension to Lorentzian Geometry of the classical Fermat principle in optics. The results are proved using critical point theory on infinite dimensional manifolds. An application to the gravitational lens effect is presented.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors derived the solution of the heat equation on a homogeneous tree Γ whose edges have suitable positive conductances and are identified with copies of segments [0, 1] with the codition that the sum of the weighted normal exterior derivatives is 0 at every node (Kirchhoff type condition).
Abstract: We compute explicitly the solution of the heat equation on a homogeneous tree Γ whose edges have suitable positive conductances and are identified with copies of segments [0, 1]with the codition that the sum of the weighted normal exterior derivatives is 0at every node (Kirchhoff type condition). Furthermore we find the expression of the semigroup of linear operators on L2(Γ, c) having Δ as infinitesimal generator. These results derive from the equation governing the spread of the potential along the dendrites of a neuron.

TL;DR: In this article, it was shown that a given pair (A, B) generates a B-bounded semigroup if and only if in a certain extrapolation space related to the operator B, the closure of A generates a semigroup.
Abstract: In [3]A. Bellini-Morante defined and analysed a new one-parameter family of bounded operators which he called a B-bounded semigroup. The definition was motivated by an example from the transport theory where the evolution generated by an operator A was in a certain sense controlled by another operator B. In this paper we show that a given pair (A, B) generates a B-bounded semigroup if and only if in a certain extrapolation space related to the operator B, the closure of A generates a semigroup and we also address some related topics.

The crucial property turns out to be the existence of an invariant region. An asymptotic result in the case of Neumann boundary conditions is also given.

TL;DR: In this article, the global existence result for one-phase Stefan problems was proved by using energy inequalities, and it was shown that if α > 1 an initial function is sufficiently small, then the free boundary is bounded and decay in exponential order.
Abstract: We consider one-phase Stefan problems for the equationu i =u xx +u 1+a (α>0)in one-dimensional space, which have blow-up solutions for a larger initial data. In this paper, the global existence result for our problem is proved by using energy inequalities. More precisely, if α>1 an initial function is sufficiently small, then the free boundary is bounded and\(|u(t)|_{L^\infty } \) decay in exponential order.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors studied Lagrangian systems with symmetry under the action of a constant generalized force in the direction of the symmetry field, and proved the existence of solutions tending to an orbit of a symmetry group as t→± ∞.
Abstract: We study Lagrangian systems with symmetry under the action of a constant generalized force in the direction of the symmetry field. After Routh's reduction, such systems become nonautonomous with Lagrangian quadratic in time. We prove the existence of solutions tending to an orbit of the symmetry group as t→± ∞. As an example, we study doubly asymptotic solutions for the Kirchhoff problem of a heavy rigid body in an infinite volume of incompressible ideal fluid performing a potential motion.

Abstract: We show that there exists a set A such that A has quasi-minimal enumeration degree, and there are uncountably many sets B such that A is enumeration reducible to B and B has minimal Turing degree. Answering a related question raised by Solon, we also show that there exists a nontotal enumeration degree which is not e-hyperimmune.

Abstract: It follows from the Ramsey theorem that every infinite sequence of elements of a finite semigroup has an infinite factorization of the form x, e, e, e, ..., where e is an idempotent of the semigroup. We describe all semigroups with this property and with its analog for two-sided infinite sequences.

TL;DR: In this paper, the existence of a well determined isomorphism of R(M) onto a well defined subgroup of the abelian p-group M = M.
Abstract: Given the abelian p-group M=〈a〉⊕〈b〉⊕C, where ¦a¦=p n⩾¦b¦=pm > exp C= =ps>1, set R(M) =·ϕ∈P(M)·Hϕ=H, ϕ·ΩS(M)=1}. Our main result is the existence of a well determined isomorphism of R(M) onto a well defined subgroup of $$\mathop \Pi \limits_{k = 0}^{n - m} PR(p^{n - k - m} R_{n - k} ) \times PR(pR_m )$$ .

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors examined the behavior of the one-dimensional non-homogeneous transport equation of the form ǫut= ux+f, ë1.
Abstract: This study examines the behavior of the one-dimensional non-homogeneous transport equation of the form ɛut= ux+f, ɛ«1. The solution consists of behavior which changes on two different time scales, one rapid and one slow. This time scale behavior is known. Additionally, however, we find here that because of the presence of the non-homogeneous forcing termf, and large wave speed 1/ɛ, there is a component of the solution which will vary only on a very large spatial scale. This large space-scale solution persists throughout all time, even after the source term of the solution has been shut off. The analysis of this large spacescale behavior is the focus of this paper. Numerical experiments highlight some of our results. These results have applications in fields such as meteorology, and other areas where multiple time scales are of interest.

Abstract: We consider a relativistic frame of reference, generalized in the polar sense [1]–[2],and the adapted non-holonomic techniques;then, we extend to non-orthogonal case second order propertiesof a standard frame of reference: Riemann tensor decomposition, Lie derivatives of the Ricci rotation coefficients, commutation formulae and spatial Bianchi identity.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors studied radial solutions u=(u1, u2) in an exterior domain of R N (N⩾3) of the elliptic system−Δu+V⊂u)=0, where V is a positive and singular potential.
Abstract: We study radial solutions u=(u1, u2) in an exterior domain ofR N (N⩾3)of the elliptic system−Δu+V⊂u)=0, where V is a positive and singular potential. We look for solutions which satisfy Dirichlet boundary conditions and vanish at infinity. We prove existence of infinitely many radial solutions, which can be topologically classified by their winding numbers around the singularity of V. Furthermore, we study some qualitative properties of such solutions.
