Global Analysis of Minimal Surfaces
Author: Ulrich Dierkes
Publisher: Springer Science & Business Media
ISBN: 3642117066
Category : Mathematics
Languages : en
Pages : 547
Book Description
Many properties of minimal surfaces are of a global nature, and this is already true for the results treated in the first two volumes of the treatise. Part I of the present book can be viewed as an extension of these results. For instance, the first two chapters deal with existence, regularity and uniqueness theorems for minimal surfaces with partially free boundaries. Here one of the main features is the possibility of "edge-crawling" along free parts of the boundary. The third chapter deals with a priori estimates for minimal surfaces in higher dimensions and for minimizers of singular integrals related to the area functional. In particular, far reaching Bernstein theorems are derived. The second part of the book contains what one might justly call a "global theory of minimal surfaces" as envisioned by Smale. First, the Douglas problem is treated anew by using Teichmüller theory. Secondly, various index theorems for minimal theorems are derived, and their consequences for the space of solutions to Plateau ́s problem are discussed. Finally, a topological approach to minimal surfaces via Fredholm vector fields in the spirit of Smale is presented.

Large Time Behavior of Solutions for General Quasilinear Hyperbolic-Parabolic Systems of Conservation Laws
Author: Tai-Ping Liu
Publisher: American Mathematical Soc.
ISBN: 0821805452
Category : Mathematics
Languages : en
Pages : 135
Book Description
We are interested in the time-asymptotic behavior of solutions to viscous conservation laws. Through the pointwise estimates for the Green's function of the linearized system and the analysis of coupling of nonlinear diffusion waves, we obtain explicit expressions of the time-asymptotic behavior of the solutions. This yields optimal estimates in the integral norms. For most physical models, the viscosity matrix is not positive definite and the system is hyperbolic-parabolic, and not uniformly parabolic. This implies that the Green's function may contain Dirac [lowercase Greek]Delta-functions. When the corresponding inviscid system is non-strictly hyperbolic, the time-asymptotic state contains generalized Burgers solutions. These are illustrated by applying our general theory to the compressible Navier-Stokes equations and the equations of magnetohydrodynamics.

Cyclic Phenomena for Composition Operators
Author: Paul Bourdon
Publisher: American Mathematical Soc.
ISBN: 0821806300
Category : Mathematics
Languages : en
Pages : 122
Book Description
We undertake a systematic study of cyclic phenomena for composition operators. Our work shows that composition operators exhibit strikingly diverse types of cyclic behavior, and it connects this behavior with classical problems involving complex polynomial approximation and analytic functional equations.

Analytic Deformations of the Spectrum of a Family of Dirac Operators on an Odd-Dimensional Manifold with Boundary
Author: Paul Kirk
Publisher: American Mathematical Soc.
ISBN: 082180538X
Category : Mathematics
Languages : en
Pages : 73
Book Description
The analytic perturbation theory for eigenvalues of Dirac operators on odd dimensional manifolds with boundary is described in terms of [italic]extended L2 eigenvectors [end italics] on manifolds with cylindrical ends. These are generalizations of the Atiyah-Patodi-Singer extended [italic capital]L2 kernel of a Dirac operator. We prove that they form a discrete set near zero and deform analytically, in contrast to [italic capital]L2 eigenvectors, which can be absorbed into the continuous spectrum under deformations when the tangential operator is not invertible. We show that the analytic deformation theory for extended [italic capital]L2 eigenvectors and Atiyah-Patodi-Singer eigenvectors coincides.

(m)KdV Solitons on the Background of Quasi-Periodic Finite-Gap Solutions
Author: Fritz Gesztesy
Publisher: American Mathematical Soc.
ISBN: 0821804065
Category : Mathematics
Languages : en
Pages : 102
Book Description
In the introductory section, we review the formulation of the Korteweg-de Vries (KdV) equation and of the modified KdV (mKdV) equation as a compatibility condition for a Lax pair of linear operators. We then illustrate Miura's transformation, which maps solutions of the mKdV into solutions of the KdV. We then give a general overview of the concept of soliton solutions relative to general backgrounds, and of the single and double commutation methods. Finally, we present the main results of the article. To avoid the clutter of too many technical details, the paper is organized in four sections and five appendices.

Completely Positive Hypergroup Actions
Author: Ajit Iqbal Singh
Publisher: American Mathematical Soc.
ISBN: 0821805398
Category : Mathematics
Languages : en
Pages : 87
Book Description
It is now well know that the measure algebra [script capital]M([italic capital]G) of a locally compact group can be regarded as a subalgebra of the operator algebra [italic capital]B([italic capital]B([italic capital]L2([italic capital]G))) of the operator algebra [italic capital]B([italic capital]L2([italic capital]G)) of the Hilbert space [italic capital]L2([italic capital]G). We study the situation in hypergroups and find that, in general, the analogous map for them is neither an isometry nor a homomorphism. However, it is completely positive and completely bounded in certain ways. This work presents the related general theory and special examples.

Shortest Paths for Sub-Riemannian Metrics on Rank-Two Distributions
Author: Wensheng Liu
Publisher: American Mathematical Soc.
ISBN: 0821804049
Category : Mathematics
Languages : en
Pages : 121
Book Description
A sub-Riemannian manifold ([italic capitals]M, E, G) consists of a finite-dimensional manifold [italic capital]M, a rank-two bracket generating distribution [italic capital]E on [italic capital]M, and a Riemannian metric [italic capital]G on [italic capital]E. All length-minimizing arcs on ([italic capitals]M, E, G) are either normal extremals or abnormal extremals. Normal extremals are locally optimal, i.e., every sufficiently short piece of such an extremal is a minimizer. The question whether every length-minimizer is a normal extremal was recently settled by R. G. Montgomery, who exhibited a counterexample. The present work proves that regular abnormal extremals are locally optimal, and, in the case that [italic capital]E satisfies a mild additional restriction, the abnormal minimizers are ubiquitous rather than exceptional. All the topics of this research report (historical notes, examples, abnormal extremals, Hamiltonians, nonholonomic distributions, sub-Riemannian distance, the relations between minimality and extremality, regular abnormal extremals, local optimality of regular abnormal extremals, etc.) are presented in a very clear and effective way.
