In this paper we consider the Holm-Staley b-family of equations in the Sobolev spaces H-s (R) for s > 3/2. Using a geometric approach we show that, for any value of the parameter b, the corresponding solution map, u(0) bar right arrow u(T), is nowhere loca ...
In this paper we show that the incompressible Euler equation on the Sobolev space H-s(R-n), s> n/2+1, can be expressed in Lagrangian coordinates as a geodesic equation on an infinite dimensional manifold. Moreover the Christoffel map describing the geodesi ...
We present a Petrov-Galerkin reduced basis (RB) approximation for the parameterized Stokes equation. Our method, which relies on a reduced solution space and a parameter-dependent test space, is shown to be stable (in the sense of Babuska) and algebraicall ...
For Banach spaces X and Y, we consider bifurcation from the line of trivial solutions for the equation F(lambda, u) = 0, where F : R x X -> Y with F(lambda, 0) = 0 for all lambda is an element of R. The focus is on the situation where F(lambda, center dot) ...

The purpose of this paper is to give a self-contained proof that a complete manifold with more than one end never supports an L-q,L-p-Sobolev inequality (2
In this thesis, we study several stochastic partial differential equations (SPDE’s) in the spatial domain R, driven by multiplicative space-time white noise. We are interested in how rough and unbounded initial data affect the random field solution and the ...
Particle Swarm Optimization is a simple and elegant optimization algorithm used to solve a large variety of different real-valued problems. When it comes to solving combinations of continuous and discrete problems however, PSO by itself is not very well su ...
In the two-well problem we look for a map u which satisfies Dirichlet boundary conditions and whose gradient Du assumes values in SO (2) A boolean OR SO (2) B = S-A boolean OR S-B, for two given invertible matrices A, B (an element of SO (2) A is of the fo ...
We consider second-order quasilinear elliptic systems on un-bounded domains in the setting of Sobolev spaces. We complete our earlier work on the Fredholm and properness properties of the associated differential operators by giving verifiable conditions fo ...
We study the local times of fractional Brownian motions for all temporal dimensions, N, spatial dimensions d and Hurst parameters H for which local times exist. We establish a Holder continuity result that is a refinement of Xiao (Probab Th Rel Fields 109: ...
