We study a new class of ergodic backward stochastic differential equations (EBSDEs for short) which is linked with semi-linear Neumann type boundary value problems related to ergodic phenomenas. The particularity of these problems is that the ergodic constant appears in Neumann boundary conditions. We study the existence and uniqueness of solutions to EBSDEs and the link with partial differenti...

Recently, Takahashi has introduced the James and von Neumann-Jordan type constants. In this paper, we present some sufficient conditions for uniform normal structure and therefore the fixed point property of a Banach space in terms of the James and von Neumann-Jordan type constants and the Ptolemy constant. Our main results of the paper significantly generalize and improve many known results in...

This paper is devoted to the study of Lyapunov-type inequality for Neumann boundary conditions at higher eigenvalues. Our main result is derived from a detailed analysis about the number and distribution of zeros of nontrivial solutions and their first derivatives, together with the use of suitable minimization problems. This method of proof allows to obtain new information on Lyapunov constant...

This paper focuses on the study of a linear eigenvalue problem with indefinite weight and Robin type boundary conditions. We investigate the minimization of the positive principal eigenvalue under the constraint that the absolute value of the weight is bounded and the total weight is a fixed negative constant. Biologically, this minimization problem is motivated by the question of determining t...

A fourth-order accurate embedded boundary method for the scalar wave equation with Dirichlet or Neumann boundary conditions is described. The method is based on a compact Pade-type discretization of spatial derivatives together with a Taylor series method (modified equation) in time. A novel approach for enforcing boundary conditions is introduced which uses interior boundary points instead of ...

In this paper, using the hyperbolic uniform spline of order 4 we develop the classes of methods for the numerical solution of second order boundary value problems (2VBP) with Dirichlet, Neumann and Cauchy types boundary conditions. The second derivativeis approximated by the three-point central difference scheme. The approximate results, obtained by the proposed method, confirm theconvergence o...

New stationary solutions of the (Michelson) Sivashinsky equation of premixed flames are obtained numerically in this paper. Some of these solutions, of the bicoalescent type recently described by Guidi and Marchetti, are stable with Neumann boundary conditions. With these boundary conditions, the time evolution of the Sivashinsky equation in the presence of a moderate white noise is controlled ...

In the past few years, different models and analytical approximations have been developed facing the problem of the electrical conductivity of a concentrated colloidal suspension, according to the cell-model concept. Most of them make use of the Kuwabara cell model to account for hydrodynamic particle-particle interactions, but they differ in the choice of electrostatic boundary conditions at t...
