Positive solutions for a fourth order equation with nonlinear boundary conditions

Existence of positive solutions for a fourth order equation with nonlinear boundary conditions, which models deformations of beams on elastic supports, is considered using fixed points theorems in cones of ordered Banach spaces. Iterative and numerical solutions are also considered. (C) 2010 IMACS. Published by Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

Lower semicontinuity of attractors for non-autonomous dynamical systems

This paper is concerned with the lower semicontinuity of attractors for semilinear non-autonomous differential equations in Banach spaces. We require the unperturbed attractor to be given as the union of unstable manifolds of time-dependent hyperbolic solutions, generalizing previous results valid only for gradient-like systems in which the hyperbolic solutions are equilibria. The tools employed are a study of the continuity of the local unstable manifolds of the hyperbolic solutions and results on the continuity of the exponential dichotomy of the linearization around each of these solutions.

Strongly damped wave problems: Bootstrapping and regularity of solutions

The aim of the article is to present a unified approach to the existence, uniqueness and regularity of solutions to problems belonging to a class of second order in time semilinear partial differential equations in Banach spaces. Our results are applied next to a number of examples appearing in literature, which fall into the class of strongly damped semilinear wave equations. The present work essentially extends the results on the existence and regularity of solutions to such problems. Previously, these problems have been considered mostly within the Hilbert space setting and with the main part operators being selfadjoint. In this article we present a more general approach, involving sectorial operators in reflexive Banach spaces. (C) 2008 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.

On the Hartman-Grobman Theorem with Parameters

The Hartman-Grobman Theorem of linearization is extended to families of dynamical systems in a Banach space X, depending continuously on parameters. We prove that the conjugacy also changes continuously. The cases of nonlinear maps and flows are considered, and both in global and local versions, but global in the parameters. To use a special version of the Banach-Caccioppoli Theorem we introduce equivalent norms on X depending on the parameters. The functional setting is suitable for applications to some nonlinear evolution partial differential equations like the nonlinear beam equation.

UNIFORM APPROXIMATION ON IDEALS OF MULTILINEAR MAPPINGS

For each ideal of multilinear mappings M we explicitly construct a corresponding ideal (a)M such that multilinear forms in (a)M are exactly those which can be approximated, in the uniform norm, by multilinear forms in M. This construction is then applied to finite type, compact, weakly compact and absolutely summing multilinear mappings. It is also proved that the correspondence M bar right arrow (a)M.

Álgebras de operadores, esperança condicional e a Entropia de Connes-Stormer

Neste trabalho fazemos um breve estudo de Álgebras de Operadores, mais especificamente Álgebras-C* e Álgebras de von Neumann. O objetivo é expor alguns resultados que seriam os análogos não-comutativos de teoremas em Teoria da Medida e Teoria Rrgódica. Inicialmente, enunciamos alguns resultados de Análise Funcional e Teoria Espectral, muitos destes sendo demonstrados, com ênfase especial aos que dizem respeito µas álgebras. Com isso, dispomos das ferramentas necessárias para falarmos de alguns tópicos da então chamada Teoria da Integração Não-Comutativa. Uma desigualdade tipo Jensen é provada e, com o teorema de Radon-Nikodym para funcionais normais positivos, construimos uma esperança condicional, provando que esta possui as mesmas propriedades da esperança condicional da Teoria das Probabilidades. Dada a Esperança Condicional, objeto este que faz parte do cenário atual de pesquisa na área de Álgebra de Operadores e que está relacionado com resultados fundamentais tal como o Índice de Jones, passamos à definição da Entropia de Connes-Stormer. Finalizamos o trabalho analisando esta entropia, que é a versão para as álgebras de von Neumann da entropia Kolmogorov-Sinai em Teoria Ergódica. Provamos algumas pro- priedades que são análogas às do conceito clássico de entropia e indicamos uma aplicação da mesma. O texto não possui resultados originais, trata-se apenas de uma releitura de artigos usando versões mais recentes de alguns teoremas.

Composition for a class of generalized functions in Colombeau's theory

In Colombeau's theory, given an open subset Ω of ℝn, there is a differential algebra G(Ω) of generalized functions which contains in a natural way the space D′(Ω) of distributions as a vector subspace. There is also a simpler version of the algebra G,(Ω). Although this subalgebra does not contain, in canonical way, the space D′(Ω) is enough for most applications. This work is developed in the simplified generalized functions framework. In several applications it is necessary to compute higher intrinsic derivatives of generalized functions, and since these derivatives are multilinear maps, it is necessary to define the space of generalized functions in Banach spaces. In this article we introduce the composite function for a special class of generalized mappings (defined in open subsets of Banach spaces with values in Banach spaces) and we compute the higher intrinsic derivative of this composite function.
