Polynomials orthogonal on the unit circle with random recurrence coefficients and finite band spectrum are investigated. It is shown that the coefficients are in fact quasiperiodic. The measures associated with these quasi-periodic coefficients are exhibited and necessary and sufficient conditions relating quasi-periodicity and spectral measures of this type are given. Analogs for polynomials o...

We show how the (globally supersymmetric) model of Mirabelli and Peskin can be formulated in the boundary (“downstairs” or “interval”) picture. The necessary GibbonsHawking-like terms appear naturally when using (codimension one) superfields. This formulation is free of the δ(0) ambiguities of the orbifold (“upstairs”) picture while describing the same physics since the boundary conditions on t...

In this section, we will introduce the work of Kbabou, Hermi, and Rhonma (2007)[2]. Their main idea is to use the eigenvalues and their ratios of the Dirichlet-Laplacian for various planar shapes as their features for classifying them. Let the sequence 0 < λ 1 < λ 2 ≤ λ 3 ≤ · · · ≤ λ k ≤ · · · → ∞ be the sequence of eigenvalues of Dirichlet-Laplacian problem: −∆u = λu in a given bounded planar ...

The relativistic Boltzmann equation for a constant differential cross section and with periodic boundary conditions is considered. The speed of light appears as a parameter c>c0 for a properly large and positive c0. A local existence and uniqueness theorem is proved in an interval of time independent of c>c0 and conditions are given such that in the limit c→+∞ the solutions converge, in a suita...

We will mainly consider the Sinh-Gordon model in finite spacial volume which corresponds to imposing the periodic boundary conditions φ(x + R) = φ(x). A lot is known about the Sinh-Gordon model in infinite volume R → ∞, see e.g. [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]. The spectrum contains a single particle with mass m which is related to the parameter μ in (1.1) in a definite way [6], see eqn. (5.32) below. The S-ma...

Due to high surface-to-volume ratio of nanoscale structures, surface stress effects have a significant influence on their behavior. In this paper, a two-dimensional problem for an elastic layer that is bonded to a rigid substrate and subjected to an inclined concentrated line load acting on the surface of the layer is investigated based on Gurtin-Murdoch continuum model to consider surface stre...

We provide a precise description of the set of residual boundary conditions generated by the self-similar viscous approximation introduced by Dafermos et al. We then apply our results, valid for both conservative and non conservative systems, to the analysis of the boundary Riemann problem and we show that, under appropriate assumptions, the limits of the self-similar and the classical vanishin...

Abstract. We consider a Korteweg-de Vries equation perturbed by a noise term on a bounded interval with periodic boundary conditions. The noise is additive, white in time and “almost white in space”. We get a local existence and uniqueness result for the solutions of this equation. In order to obtain the result, we use the precise regularity of the Brownian motion in Besov spaces, and the metho...

When the permeability field of a given porous medium domain is heterogeneous by the existence of randomly distributed fractures such that numerical investigation becomes cumbersome, another level of upscaling may be required. That is such complex permeability field could be relaxed i.e., smoothed by constructing an effective permeability field. The effective permeability field is an approximati...
