In a recent article M. Colyvan has argued that Quinean forms of scientific realism are faced with an unexpected upshot. Realism concerning a given class of entities, along with this route to realism, can be vindicated by running an indispensability argumen ...
The nonlinear Schrödinger equation i∂tw + Δw +V(x)|w|p-1w = 0 w = w(t,x) : Ι × RN → C, N ≥ 2, (1) is studied, with p > 1, V : RN \ {0} → R and Ι ⊂ R an interval. The coefficient V is subject to various hypotheses. In particular, it is always assumed ...
Using arguments developed by De Giorgi in the 1950's, it is possible to prove the regularity of the solutions to a vast class of variational problems in the Euclidean space. The main goal of the present thesis is to extend these results to the more abstrac ...
Recently, several approaches for communications using chaos have been presented, often showing less than acceptable performance. In this paper, a short introduction to the topic is given, and it is shown that such methods can be efficient—if the informatio ...
