Invariant Sets And Inverse Limits, William Thomas Ingram Dec 2002

Invariant Sets And Inverse Limits, William Thomas Ingram

Mathematics and Statistics Faculty Research & Creative Works

In this paper we investigate the nature of inverse limits from the point of view of invariant sets. We then introduce a special class of examples of inverse limits on [0,1] using Markov bonding maps determined by members of the group of permutations on n elements. © 2002 Elsevier Science B.V.

Boundary Layers Associated With Incompressible Navier-Stokes Equations: The Noncharacteristic Boundary Case, R. Temam, X. Wang Mar 2002

Boundary Layers Associated With Incompressible Navier-Stokes Equations: The Noncharacteristic Boundary Case, R. Temam, X. Wang

The goal of this article is to study the boundary layer of wall bounded flows in a channel at small viscosity when the boundaries are uniformly non-characteristic, i.e., there is injection and/or suction everywhere at the boundary. Following earlier work on the boundary layer for linearized Navier-Stokes equations in the case where the boundaries are characteristic (non-slip at the boundary and non-permeable), we consider here the case where the boundary is permeable and thus non-characteristic. the form of the boundary layer and convergence results are derived in two cases: linearized equation and full nonlinear equations. We prove that there exists …

A real-valued mapping r from the hyperspace of all compact subsets of a givenmetric space X is called a size mapping if r({x}) = 0 for x ∈ X and r(A) ≤ r(B) if a ⊂ B. We investigate what continua admit an open or a monotone size mapping. Special attention is paid to the diameter mappings.
