Evans Functions,Jost Functions,and Fredholm Determinants

The principal results of this paper consist of an intrinsic definition of the Evans function in terms of newly introduced generalized matrix-valued Jost solutions for general first-order matrix-valued differential equations on the real line, and a proof of the fact that the Evans function, a finite-dimensional determinant by construction, coincides with a modified Fredholm determinant associated with a Birman–Schwinger-type integral operator up to an explicitly computable nonvanishing factor.     

Generalized Airy Stress Functions

The classical Airy stress function in planar elastostatics cannot, in general, be a smooth function for multiply connected domains. Moreover, if a non-null body force field is active the classical Airy representation for the stress is not complete. Here, a generalized Airy representation for the stress is presented which preserves smoothness and which is complete. The generalized form identifies the explicit additional pieces that are needed for completeness in multiply connected domains and when a body force field is present.     

Functions of bounded deformation

We study the space BD(), composed of vector functions u for which all components _ij=1/2(u _{i, j}+u _{j, i}) of the deformation tensor are bounded measures. This seems to be the correct space for the displacement field in the problems of perfect plasticity. We prove that the boundary values of every such u are integrable; indeed their trace is in L ¹ ()^N. We show also that if a distribution u yields _ij which are measures, then u must lie in L ^p() for pN/(N–1).The second author gratefully acknowledges the supprot of the National Science Foundation.     

Characterization of Convex Isotropic Functions

Necessary and sufficient conditions are given for the convexity of a scalar valued function of tensors that is proper isotropic, or invariant under rotations. These conditions are also appropriate for functions defined only for orientation preserving tensors. They are weaker than Ball's convexity conditions for fully isotropic functions (invariant under all orthogonal tensors) [B1]. The results are applied in obtaining polyconvexity conditions for the stored energy function. This revised version was published online in August 2006 with corrections to the Cover Date.     

Structure Functions in Complex Flows

The turbulence in the ocean and atmosphere is most of the time non-homogeneous in nature. These spatial changes could affect the structure of the turbulence. In this work a classification is proposed to determine the intermittency and mixing ability. The variation of the structure functions and the scaling exponent in decaying non-homogeneous turbulence produced by a grid and by a jet is measured with a sonic velocimeter SONTEK3-D. We use Extended Self Similarity (ESS) to obtain better estimates of the scaling exponents of the structure functions of order up to the 6th. We study the variation of the absolute scaling exponents _p and relative scaling exponents ¯_p as a function of distance from the source of turbulence. In most cases, the absolute scaling exponent ₃ is shown to vary as function of the separation distance l. On the other hand the relative scaling exponents ¯_p depend on the location of the flow and in most cases the deviations from the Kolmogorov 1941 scaling are related to the intermittency.     

Quasiconvex Functions and Hessian Equations

S ^n×n of symmetric matrices. They are built on the k-th elementary symmetric function of the eigenvalues, k=1,2,…,n. Our motivation came from a paper by Šverák [S]. The proof of our result relies on the theory of the so-called k-Hessian equations, which have been intensively studied recently; see [CNS,T1,TW1,TW2].

Fractional Trigonometry and the Spiral Functions

This paper develops two related fractional trigonometries based on the multi-valued fractional generalization of the exponential function, the R-function. The trigonometries contain the traditional trigonometric functions as proper subsets. Also developed are relationships between the R-function and the new fractional trigonometric functions. Laplace transforms are derived for the new functions and are used to generate solution sets for various classes of fractional differential equations. Because of the fractional character of the R-function, several new trigonometric functions are required to augment the traditional sine, cosine, etc. functions. Fractional generalizations of the Euler equation are derived. As a result of the fractional trigonometry a new set of phase plane functions, the Spiral functions, that contain the circular functions as a subset, is identified. These Spiral functions display many new symmetries.     

Differentiability Properties of Rotationally Invariant Functions

Let f be a function on the set Lin of all tensors (= square matrices) on a vector space of arbitrary dimension. If f is rotationally invariant (with respect to the left and right multiplication by proper orthogonal tensors), it has a representation through a symmetric even function of the signed singular values of the tensor argument A∈Lin. It is shown that f is of class C ^r ,r=0,1,...,∞, if and only if is of class C ^r , and an inductive formula is given for the derivatives D ^r f.

Busemann Functions for the N-Body Problem

Following ideas in Maderna and Venturelli (Arch Ration Mech Anal 194:283–313, 2009), we prove that the Busemann function of the parabolic homotetic motion for a minimal central coniguration of the N-body problem is a viscosity solution of the Hamilton–Jacobi equation and that its calibrating curves are asymptotic to the homotetic motion.
