The convolution inequality h ∗ h(ξ) ≤ B|ξ|θh(ξ) defined on Rⁿ
arises from a probabilistic representation of solutions of the n-dimensional
Navier-Stokes equations, n ≥ 2. Using a chaining argument, we establish
in all dimensions n ≥ 1 the nonexistence of strictly positive fully supported
solutions of this inequality for...
Given two rational maps φ and ψ on Ρ¹ of degree at least two, we study a symmetric, nonnegative real-valued pairing〈φ, ψ〉which is closely related to the canonical height functions hφ and hψ associated to these maps. Our main results show a strong connection between the value of〈φ, ψ〉and the...
A mixed initial and boundary value problem is considered for
a partial differential equation of the form Muₜ(x, t)+Lu(x, t)=0,
where M and L are elliptic differential operators of orders 2 m
and 2l, respectively, with m ≤ l. The existence and uniqueness
of a strong solution of this equation...
Extensions of the fractional Brownian fields are constructed over
a complete Riemannian manifold. This construction is carried out for the full
range of the Hurst parameter α ∈ (0, 1). In particular, we establish existence,
distributional scaling (self-similiarity), stationarity of the increments, and almost
sure H¨older continuity of sample paths....
We give continued fraction algorithms for each conjugacy class of triangle Fuchsian group of signature
(3, n, ∞), with n ≥ 4. In particular, we give an explicit form of the group that is a subgroup of the Hilbert
modular group of its trace field and provide an interval map...
We address the long-time behavior of a non-rotational von Karman plate in an inviscid potential flow. The model arises in aeroelasticity and models the interaction between a thin, nonlinear panel and a flow of gas in which it is immersed [6, 21, 23]. Recent results in [16, 18] show that...
In this work we consider a mathematical and computational model for biofilm growth and nutrient utilization. In particular, we are interested in a model appropriate at a scale of interface. The model is a system of two coupled nonlinear diffusion--reaction partial differential equations (PDEs). One of these PDEs is subject...
In the past two decades, a great amount of attention has been
paid to investigating the economic and safe operation of power
systems using modern mathematical techniques. The classic economic
dispatch problem, now often called the Optimal Power Flow problem,
has been formulated as a mathematical optimization problem and has...
The purpose of this study was to examine the problem solving processes of
Thai gifted students when they solved non-routine mathematical problems. The
research questions guiding the study were: (1) What is the nature of the problem
solving processes that Thai gifted students use as they engage in solving non-routine...
