We consider the fractional elliptic problem: where B1 is the unit ball in ℝ N , N ⩾ 3, s ∈ (0, 1) and p > (N + 2s)/(N − 2s). We prove that this problem has infinitely many solutions with slow decay O(|x|−2s/(p−1)) at infinity. In addition, for each s ∈ (0, 1) there exists P s  > (N + 2s)/(N − 2s), for any (N + 2s)/(N − 2s) < p < P s , the above problem has a solution with fast decay O(|x|2s−N). This result is the extension of the work by Dávila, del Pino, Musso and Wei (2008, Calc. Var. Partial Differ. Equ. 32, no. 4, 453–480) to the fractional case.

By looking for critical points of functionals defined in some subspaces of , invariant under some subgroups of O (N), we prove the existence of many positive non-radial solutions for the following semilinear elliptic problem involving critical Sobolev exponent on an annulus, where 2* − 1 := (N + 2)/(N − 2) (N ≥ 4), the domain is an annulus and f : R+ × R+ → R is a C1 function, which is a subcritical perturbation.

AbstractWe study the following nonlinear Dirichlet boundary value problem: where Ω is a bounded domain in ℝN(N ≥ 2) with a smooth boundary ∂Ω and g ∈ C(Ω × ℝ) is a function satisfying $\displaystyle \underset{|t|\rightarrow 0}{\lim}\frac{g(x, t)}{t}= \infty$ for all x ∈ Ω. Under appropriate assumptions, we prove the existence of infinitely many solutions when g(x, t) is not odd in t.

AbstractLet Bp be the unit ball in 𝕃p, 0 < p < 1, and let , s ∈ ℕ, be the set of all s-monotone functions on a finite interval I, i.e., consists of all functions x : I ⟼ ℝ such that the divided differences [x; t0, … , ts] of order s are nonnegative for all choices of (s + 1) distinct points t0, … , ts ∈ I. For the classes Bp := ∩ Bp, we obtain exact orders of Kolmogorov, linear and pseudo-dimensional widths in the spaces , 0 < q < p < 1:

In this paper, we deal with the dynamics of material interfaces such as solid–liquid, grain or antiphase boundaries. We concentrate on the situation in which these internal surfaces separate three regions in the material with different physical attributes (e.g. grain boundaries in a polycrystal). The basic two-dimensional model proposes that the motion of an interface Гij between regions i and j (i, j = 1, 2, 3, i ≠ j) is governed by the equationHere Vij, kij, μij and fij denote, respectively, the normal velocity, the curvature, the mobility and the surface tension of the interface and the numbers Fij stand for the (constant) difference in bulk energies. At the point where the three phases coexist, local equilibrium requires thatIn case the material constants fij are small, and ε ≪ 1, previous analyses based on the parabolic nature of the equations (0.1) do not provide good qualitative information on the behaviour of solutions. In this case, it is more appropriate to consider the singular case with fij = 0. It turns out that this problem, (0.1) with fij = 0, admits infinitely many solutions. Here, we present results that strongly suggest that, in all cases, a unique solution—‘the vanishing surface tension (VST) solution’—is selected by letting ε→0. Indeed, a formal analysis of this limiting process motivates us to introduce the concept of weak viscosity solution for the problem with ε = 0. As we show, this weak solution is unique and is therefore expected to coincide with the VST solution. To support this statement, we present a perturbation analysis and a construction of self-similar solutions; a rigorous convergence result is established in the case of symmetric configurations. Finally, we use the weak formulation to write down a catalogue of solutions showing that, in several cases of physical relevance, the VST solution differs from results proposed previously.

Strontium atoms in the air-acetylene flame are directly photoionized in two steps provided by one dye laser tuned at the resonance ground-state transition (460.733 nm) and by the excimer pump beam at 308 nm, partially split from the amplifier section of the dye laser. The ions produced are then monitored by a third laser beam, colinear and counterpropagating in the flame, tuned to an ionic fluorescence transition and delayed in time with respect to the ionizing beams. In this way a fast decay, which is not affected by variations in the electron number density in the flame and therefore attributed to ion chemistry, and a slow decay, due to recombination, could clearly be observed. The fast decay is affected by variations in the flame stoichiometry and the slow decay by the number density of electrons in the flame, as shown by the addition of varying concentrations of an easily ionized element like caesium. The advantages of this optical probing of the laser-induced ionization in flames are discussed.

We prove existence results of two solutions of the problem \[ \begin{cases} L(u)+u^{m-1}=\lambda u^{p-1} & \text{in}\ \Omega,\\ u>0 & \text{in}\ \Omega,\\ u=0 & \text{on}\ \partial \Omega, \end{cases} \] where $L(v)=-\textrm {div}(M(x)\nabla v)$ is a linear operator, $p\in (2,2^{*}]$ and $\lambda$ and $m$ sufficiently large. Then their asymptotical limit as $m\to +\infty$ is investigated showing different behaviours.

Let A and B be C*-algebras acting on a Hilbert space H, and letwhere A1 is the unit ball in A and d(a, B1) denotes the distance of a from B1. We shall consider the following problem: if ‖A – B‖ is sufficiently small, does it follow that there is a unitary operator u such that uAu* = B?Such questions were first considered by Kadison and Kastler in [9], and have received considerable attention. In particular in the case where A is an approximately finite-dimensional (or hyperfinite) von Neumann algebra, the question has an affirmative answer (cf [3], [8], [12]). We shall show that in the case where A and B are approximately finite-dimensional C*-algebras (AF-algebras) the problem also has a positive answer.
