For α ∈ (1, 2) we prove that the initial-value problem

The revenue ranking of asymmetric auctions with two heterogenous bidders is examined. The main theorem identi…es a general environment in which the …rst-price auction is more pro…table than the second-price auction. By using mechanism design techniques, the problem is simpli…ed and several extensions are made possible. Roughly speaking, the …rst-price auction is more pro…table when the strong b...

TVaub and Wozniakowski have dealt with the complexity of some simple partial differential equations. They chose three model problems and showed that the parabolic problem considered had significantly lower complexity than the elliptic problem, which in turn had significantly lower complexity than the hyperbolic problem considered. They asked whether this is true in general. We show that this is...

In this article, we propose the sparse grid combination technique for the second moment analysis of elliptic partial differential equations on random domains. By employing shape sensitivity analysis, we linearize the influence of the random domain perturbation on the solution. We derive deterministic partial differential equations to approximate the random solution’s mean and its covariance wit...

‎In this paper‎, ‎we obtain exact solutions involving parameters of some nonlinear PDEs in mathmatical physics; namely the one-‎dimensional modified complex Ginzburg-Landau equation by using the $ (G'/G) $ expansion method‎, homogeneous balance method, extended F-expansion method‎. ‎By ‎using homogeneous balance principle and the extended F-expansion, more periodic wave solutions expressed by j...

We modified the rational Jacobi elliptic functions method to construct some new exact solutions for nonlinear differential difference equations in mathematical physics via the lattice equation, the discrete nonlinear Schrodinger equation with a saturable nonlinearity, the discrete nonlinear Klein-Gordon equation, and the quintic discrete nonlinear Schrodinger equation. Some new types of the Jac...
