Infinitely Many Stability Switches In A Problem With Sublinear Oscillatory Boundary Conditions, Alfonso Castro, Rosa Pardo

All HMC Faculty Publications and Research

We consider the elliptic equation −u+u = 0 with nonlinear boundary condition ∂u ∂n = λu + g(λ, x, u), where g(λ,x,s) s → 0, as |s|→∞ and g is oscillatory. We provide sufficient conditions on g for the existence of unbounded sequences of stable solutions, unstable solutions, and turning points, even in the absence of resonant solutions.

Mathematics Sciences: Faculty Publications

We consider the 2D Euler equation of incompressible fluids on a strip ℝ×𝕋 and prove the stability of the rectangular stationary state χ_|x|<L for large enough L.

$\Mathcal{Vw}$-Gorenstein Complexes, Renyu Zhao, Wei Ren

Turkish Journal of Mathematics

Let $\mathcal{V,W}$ be two classes of modules. In this paper, we introduce and study $\mathcal{VW}$-Gorenstein complexes as a common generalization of $\mathcal{W}$-complexes, Gorenstein projective (resp., Gorenstein injective) complexes, and $G_C$-projective (resp., $G_C$-injective) complexes. It is shown that under certain hypotheses a complex $X$ is $\mathcal{VW}$-Gorenstein if and only if each $X^n$ is a $\mathcal{VW}$-Gorenstein module. This result unifies the corresponding results of the aforementioned complexes. As an application, the stability of $\mathcal{VW}$-Gorenstein complexes is explored.

Stability Of Nonmonotone Critical Traveling Waves Forspatially Discrete Reaction-Diffusion Equations With Time Delay, Ge Tian, Guobao Zhang, Zhao-Xing Yang

Turkish Journal of Mathematics

This paper is concerned with the existence and stability of critical traveling waves (waves with minimal speed $c=c_*$) for a nonmonotone spatially discrete reaction-diffusion equation with time delay. We first show the existence of critical traveling waves by a limiting argument. Then, using the technical weighted energy method with some new variations, we prove that the critical traveling waves $\phi(x+c_{*}t)$ (monotone or nonmonotone) are time-asymptotically stable when the initial perturbations are small in a certain weighted Sobolev norm.

Near Optimal Step Size And Momentum In Gradient Descent For Quadratic Functions, Engi̇n Taş, Memmedağa Memmedli̇

Turkish Journal of Mathematics

Many problems in statistical estimation, classification, and regression can be cast as optimization problems. Gradient descent, which is one of the simplest and easy to implement multivariate optimization techniques, lies at the heart of many powerful classes of optimization methods. However, its major disadvantage is the slower rate of convergence with respect to the other more sophisticated algorithms. In order to improve the convergence speed of gradient descent, we simultaneously determine near-optimal scalar step size and momentum factor for gradient descent in a deterministic quadratic bowl from the largest and smallest eigenvalues of the Hessian. The resulting algorithm is demonstrated …

Stability Analysis Of Nonlinear Fractional Differential Order Systems With Caputo And Riemann--Liouville Derivatives, Javad Alidousti, Reza Khoshsiar Ghaziani, Ali Bayati Eshkaftaki

Turkish Journal of Mathematics

In this paper we establish stability theorems for nonlinear fractional orders systems (FDEs) with Caputo and Riemann--Liouville derivatives. In particular, we derive conditions for $ {\bf \cal{F}}$-stability of nonlinear FDEs. By numerical simulations, we verify numerically our theoretical results on a test example.

Orbital Stability Results For Soliton Solutions To Nonlinear Schrödinger Equations With External Potentials, Joseph B. Lindgren

Theses and Dissertations--Mathematics

For certain nonlinear Schroedinger equations there exist solutions which are called solitary waves. Addition of a potential $V$ changes the dynamics, but for small enough $||V||_{L^\infty}$ we can still obtain stability (and approximately Newtonian motion of the solitary wave's center of mass) for soliton-like solutions up to a finite time that depends on the size and scale of the potential $V$. Our method is an adaptation of the well-known Lyapunov method.

For the sake of completeness, we also prove long-time stability of traveling solitons in the case $V=0$.
