In this article, we consider parabolic equations on a bounded open connected subset $\Omega$ of $\R^n$. We model and investigate the problem of optimal shape and location of the observation domain having a prescribed measure. This problem…
Let $\Omega \subset \mathbb{R}^2$ be a bounded, convex domain and let $-\Delta \phi_1 = \mu_1 \phi_1$ be the first nontrivial Laplacian eigenfunction with Neumann boundary conditions. The Hot Spots conjecture claims that the maximum and…
Given a linear control system in a Hilbert space with a bounded control operator, we establish a characterization of exponential stabilizability in terms of an observability inequality. Such dual characterizations are well known for exact…
We derive an observational constraint on a spherical inhomogeneity of the void centered at our position from the angular power spectrum of the cosmic microwave background(CMB) and local measurements of the Hubble parameter. The late time…
Local systems may appear to violate Bell's inequalities if they are observed through suitable filters. The nonlocality leading to violation is outside the system and comprises the observer comparing the outcomes of the typical two wing Bell…
We consider the mixed Dirichlet-conormal problem for the heat equation on cylindrical domains with a bounded and Lipschitz base $\Omega\subset \mathbb{R}^d$ and a time-dependent separation $\Lambda$. Under certain mild regularity…
We show how statistical thermodynamics can be formulated in situations in which thermodynamics applies, while equilibrium statistical mechanics does not. A typical case is, in the words of Landau and Lifshitz, that of partial (or…
We study heat equations $\partial_t u - \operatorname{div}(A\nabla u) = 0$ on bounded Lipschitz domains $\Omega$, where $-\operatorname{div}(A\nabla\,\cdot\,)$ is a second-order uniformly elliptic operator with generalised Robin boundary…
We construct a measure on omega-one^2 over the ground model in the forcing extension of a measure algebra, and investigate when measure theoretic properties of some measurable colouring of omega-one^2 imply the existence of an uncountable…
We consider a system of two coupled first-order linear hyperbolic partial differential equations modeling heat transport in a counter-flow heat exchanger: one equation describes the transport of a hot fluid, and the other the transport of a…
We calculate the surface temperature and the resulting brightness of sub-relativistic objects moving through the Solar system due to collisional heating by gas and radiative heating by solar radiation. The thermal emission from objects of…
In this note we give equivalent characterizations for a fractional Triebel-Lizorkin space $F^s_{p,q}(\Omega)$ in terms of first-order differences in a uniform domain $\Omega$. The characterization is valid for any positive, non-integer real…
In this paper we will consider oscillations of square viscoelastic membranes by adding to the wave equation another term, which takes into account the memory. To this end, we will study a class of integrodifferential equations in square…
It is a well-known fact that in a Lipschitz domain \Omega\subset R^n a p-Hardy inequality, with weight d(x,\partial\Omega)^\beta, holds for all u\in C_0^\infty(\Omega) whenever \beta<p-1. We show that actually the same is true under the…
We propose a method for measuring the cosmological density parameter $\Omega$ from the statistics of the divergence field, $\theta \equiv H^{-1} \div v$, the divergence of peculiar velocity, expressed in units of the Hubble constant, $H…
Results are obtained for two minimization problems: $$I_k(c)=\inf \{\lambda_k(\Omega): \Omega\ \textup{open, convex in}\ \mathbb{R}^m,\ \mathcal{T}(\Omega)= c \},$$ and $$J_k(c)=\inf\{\lambda_k(\Omega): \Omega\ \textup{quasi-open in}\…
We consider the wave equation $(\partial_t^2-\Delta)u=0$ on a planar triangular domain $\Omega\subset\mathbb{R}^2$ with Dirichlet boundary conditions. We use a commutator and integration by parts argument similar to that in…
In this paper, we analyze an operator splitting scheme of the nonlinear heat equation in $\Omega\subset\mathbb{R}^d$ ($d\geq 1$): $\partial_t u = \Delta u + \lambda |u|^{p-1} u$ in $\Omega\times(0,\infty)$, $u=0$ in…
Twin observables, i.e. opposite subsystem observables A+ and A- that are indistinguishable in measurement in a given mixed or pure state W, are investigated in detail algebraicly and geometrically. It is shown that there is a far-reaching…
In the present paper we study inverse problems related to determining the time-dependent coefficient and unknown source function of fractional heat equations. Our approach shows that having just one set of data at an observation point…
