In this paper, we study the pointwise (in the space variable) behavior of the linearized Fokker-Planck-Boltzmann model for nonsmooth initial perturbations. The result reveals both the fluid and kinetic aspects of this model. The fluid-like waves are constructed as the long-wave expansion in the spectrum of the Fourier modes for the space variable, and it has polynomial time decay rate. We desig...

This paper introduces a natural extension of Kolchin’s differential Galois theory to positive characteristic iterative differential fields, generalizing to the non-linear case the iterative Picard-Vessiot theory recently developed by Matzat and van der Put. We use the methods and framework provided by the model theory of iterative differential fields. We offer a definition of strongly normal ex...

Received: December 21, 2010 Accepted: January 7, 2011 doi:10.5539/jmr.v3n2p151 Abstract In this paper, we study fixed point theorems for multi-valued weak contractions. We show that the Picard projection iteration converges to a fixed point, give a rate of convergence and generalize Collage theorem. This work includes results on multi-valued contraction mappings studied by (Kunze, H.E., La Torr...

for solving large sparse non-hermitian positive definite linear equations, bai et al. proposed the hermitian and skew-hermitian splitting methods (hss). they recently generalized this technique to the normal and skew-hermitian splitting methods (nss). in this paper, we present an accelerated normal and skew-hermitian splitting methods (anss) which involve two parameters for the nss iteration. w...

in this article, an analytical approximate solution of nonlinear fractional convection-diffusion with modifiedriemann-liouville derivative was obtained with the help of fractional variational iteration method (fvim). a newapplication of fractional variational iteration method (fvim) was extended to derive analytical solutions in theform of a series for this equation. it is indicated that the so...

This paper gives some results on almost automorphic strong solutions to time-fractional partial differential equations by employing a mix o thef Galerkin method, Fourier series, and Picard iteration. As an application, the existence, uniqueness, global Mittag–Leffler convergence of solution are discussed concrete parabolic equations. To best our knowledge, this is first study subject.

We classify the smooth projective symmetric G-varieties with Picard number one (and G semisimple). Moreover we prove a criterion for the smoothness of the simple (normal) symmetric varieties whose closed orbit is complete. In particular we prove that, given a such variety X which is not exceptional, then X is smooth if and only if an appropriate toric variety contained in X is smooth. keywords:...

This thesis investigates some effective and quantitative aspects of metric fixed point theory in the light of methods from proof theory. The thesis consists of contributions to the program of proof mining, as developed by Kohlenbach and various collaborators since the early 1990s (but with roots back to Kreisel’s program “unwinding of proofs” from the 1950s). The contributions involve both case...
