چکیده
We seek critical points of the functional E(u) = j |Vw|, where Ω is Ω the unit disk in (R and u: Ω -+ S satisfies the boundary condition u = y on dΩ. We prove that if y is not a constant, then E has a local minimum which is different from the absolute minimum. We discuss in more details the case where y(x, y) = (Rx, Ry, ̂ Γ^R) and R <

Thermo-mechanical nonlinear vibration analysis of fluid-conveying structures subjected to different boundary conditions using Galerkin-Newton-Harmonic balancing method
The development of mathematical models for describing the dynamic behaviours of fluid conveying pipes, micro-pipes and nanotubes under the influence of some thermo-mechanical parameters results into nonlinear equations that are very difficult to solve analytically. In cases where the exact analytical solutions are presented either in implicit or explicit forms, high skills and rigorous mathemat...
متن کاملA Note on Geometric Heat Flows in Critical Dimensions
In this note we examine the heat flow for harmonic maps and Yang-Mills equations in dimensions two and four respectively. We show that these two flows are qualitatively similar for degree-2 harmonic maps.

I present a new class of topological string theories, and discuss them in two dimensions as candidates for the string description of large-N QCD. The starting point is a new class of topological sigma models, whose path integral is localized to the moduli space of harmonic maps from the worldsheet to the target. The Lagrangian is of fourth order in worldsheet derivatives. After gauging worldshe...
متن کاملCounting solutions of perturbed harmonic map equations
In this paper we consider perturbed harmonic map equations for maps between closed Riemannian manifolds. In the case where the target manifold has negative sectional curvature we prove among other results that for a large class of semilinear and quasilinear perturbations, the perturbed harmonic map equations have solutions in any homotopy class of maps for which the Euler characteristic of the ...
متن کاملON f -BI-HARMONIC MAPS BETWEEN RIEMANNIAN MANIFOLDS
A. Both bi-harmonic map and f -harmonic map have nice physical motivation and applications. In this paper, by combination of these two harmonic maps, we introduce and study f -bi-harmonic maps as the critical points of the f -bi-energy functional 1 2 ∫ M f |τ(φ)| dvg. This class of maps generalizes both concepts of harmonic maps and biharmonic maps. We first derive the f -biharmonic map ...
