The master equation of one-dimensional three-species reaction-diffusion processes is mapped onto an imaginary-time Schrödinger equation. In many cases the Hamiltonian obtained is that of an integrable quantum chain. Within this approach we search for all 3-state integrable quantum chains whose spectra are known and which are related to diffusive-reactive systems. Two integrable models are found...

In this paper, we present the Green’s functions for a second-order linear differential equation with three-point boundary conditions. We give exact expressions of the solutions for the linear three-point boundary problems by the Green’s functions. As applications, we study uniqueness and iteration of the solutions for a nonlinear singular second-order three-point boundary value problem.

An analytic solution is presented describing ̄ow to a drain in a semi-in®nite domain bounded by a leaky layer of constant thickness. The solution is developed by applying the method of images to two parallel boundaries: an inhomogeneity boundary and an equipotential boundary. It is then demonstrated that the solution for the problem with the leaky layer approximated by a leaky boundary (a mixed...

The initial value problem of convex conservation laws, which includes the famous Burgers’ (inviscid) equation, plays an important rule not only in theoretical analysis for conservation laws, but also in numerical computations for various numerical methods. For example, the initial value problem of the Burgers’ equation is one of the most popular benchmarks in testing various numerical methods. ...

The existence of infinitely many solutions is established for a class of nonlinear functionals involving the p-biharmonic operator with nonhomoge- neous Neumann boundary conditions. Using a recent critical-point theorem for nonsmooth functionals and under appropriate behavior of the nonlinear term and nonhomogeneous Neumann boundary conditions, we obtain the result.

As we have seen in Chapter 2, the partition function of the Ising model on a planar graph G with positive boundary conditions is proportional to the even subgraph generating function ZG⇤(x), where G⇤ is the weak dual of G and x is the weight vector defined by the low-temperature expansion. Similarly, the partition function of the model with free boundary conditions is proportional to ZG(x), whe...

In this paper we prove the existence of weak periodic solutions for a nonlinear parabolic equations with the Robin periodic boundary condition. The aim will be achieved by reformulating the problem in abstract form and applying some results of the maximal monotone mapping theory joint with the Schauder fixed point theorem.
