In this article we consider the Lyapunov stability of mechanical systems containing fractional springpot elements. We obtain the potential energy of a springpot by an infinite dimensional mechanical analogue model. Furthermore, we consider a simple dynamical system containing a springpot as a functional differential equation and use the potential energy of the springpot in a Lyapunov functional to prove uniform stability and discuss asymptotic stability of the equilibrium with the help of an invariance theorem.

The use of cutoffs underneath the hydraulic structures is considered a safe solution to ensure the stability of hydraulic structure against uplift pressure and piping phenomenon in addition to the sliding and overturning forces of the water. These cutoffs are used at critical sections underneath the floor of hydraulic structure to substitute with their depths the horizontal lengths of the creep line of the hydraulic structure base. In this paper, the experimental method- by using electrical analogue model- was carried out to plot the flow net and study the efficiency of the front and rear faces of the cutoffs for dissipating the potential energy of the percolating water underneath the floor of hydraulic structure. An electrical analogue model which was used in this study consists of twenty five models with different depths of upstream and downstream cutoffs. After plotting the flow net for all models, it is concluded that the efficiency of the inner sides are less than that of the outer sides which were investigated before in this topic of this work that both faces reduction values in the uplift pressure are considered the same, where the efficiency of the outer face of upstream cutoff is (70.35) % and for the inner face is (29.64)%, while for the downstream cutoff the efficiency for the outer face is (76.21)% and for the inner face is (23.79)% .

We investigate the existence of a global attractor and its upper semicontinuity for the infinite-dimensional lattice dynamical system of a partly dissipative reaction diffusion system in the Hilbert spacel2×l2. Such a system is similar to the discretized FitzHugh-Nagumo system in neurobiology, which is an adequate justification for its study.

SynopsisThe Cauchy problem of ut, = ∆uα + uβ, where 0 < α < l and α>1, is studied. It is proved that if 1< β<α + 2/n then every nontrivial non-negative solution is not global in time. But if β>α+ 2/n there exist both blow-up solutions and global positive solutions which decay to zero as t–1/(β–1) when t →∞. Thus the famous Fujita result on ut = ∆u + up is generalised to the present fast diffusion equation. Furthermore, regarding the equation as an infinite dimensional dynamical system on Sobolev space W1,s (W2.s) with S > 1, a non-uniqueness result is established which shows that there exists a positive solution u(x, t) with u(., t) → 0 in W1.s (W2.s) as t → 0.

We construct a classical dynamical system whose phase space is a certain infinite-dimensional Grassmannian manifold, and propose that it is equivalent to the large N limit of two-dimensional QCD with an O (2N+1) gauge group. In this theory, we find that baryon number is a topological quantity that is conserved only modulo 2. We also relate this theory to the master field approach to matrix models.

We present a natural extension of the method of averaging to fast oscillating functional differential equations with delay. Unlike the usual approach where the analysis is kept in an infinite-dimensional Banach space, our analysis is achieved inℝn. Our results are formulated in classical mathematics. They are proved within Internal Set Theory which is an axiomatic description of nonstandard analysis.
