Radially Symmetric Solutions To A Superlinear Dirichlet Problem In A Ball With Jumping Nonlinearities, Alfonso Castro, Alexandra Kurepa
Radially Symmetric Solutions To A Superlinear Dirichlet Problem In A Ball With Jumping Nonlinearities, Alfonso Castro, Alexandra Kurepa
All HMC Faculty Publications and Research
Let p,φ :[0,T] → R be bounded functions with φ > 0. Let g:R → R be a locally Lipschitzian function satisfying the superlinear jumping condition:
(i) lim u → - ∞ (g(u)/u) ε R
(ii) lim u → ∞ (g(u)/(u1 + ρ )) = ∞ for some ρ > 0, and
(iii) lim u → ∞ (u/g(u))N/2(NG(κ u) - ((N - 2)/2)u · g(u)) = ∞ for some κ ε (0,1] where G is the primitive of g.
Here we prove that the number of solutions of the boundary value problem Δu + g(u) = p(|x|) + cφ …

Nonnegative Solutions For A Class Of Radially Symmetric Nonpositone Problems, Alfonso Castro, Ratnasingham Shivaji
Nonnegative Solutions For A Class Of Radially Symmetric Nonpositone Problems, Alfonso Castro, Ratnasingham Shivaji
All HMC Faculty Publications and Research
We consider the existence of radially symmetric non-negative solutions for the boundary value problem
\begin{displaymath}\begin{array}{*{20}{c}} { - \Delta u(x) = \lambda f(u(x))\qua... ...\\ {u(x) = 0\quad \left\Vert x \right\Vert = 1} \\ \end{array} \end{displaymath}
where $ \lambda > 0,f(0) < 0$ (non-positone), $ f' \geq 0$ and $ f$ is superlinear. We establish existence of non-negative solutions for $ \lambda $ small which extends some work of our previous paper on non-positone problems, where we considered the case $ N = 1$. Our work also proves a recent conjecture by Joel Smoller and Arthur Wasserman.

We report novel femtosecond time‐resolved measurements performed on staggered type II GaAs/AlAs multiple quantum well structures. Photoexcited electrons were determined to transfer from the Γ valley of the GaAs layers to the X valleys of the AlAs in 100 and 400 fs for 8‐ and 11‐monolayer‐thick GaAs samples, respectively.
The Prey Of Common Barn Owls (Tyto Alba) In Dry Limestone Scrub Forest Of Southern Jamaica, Donald A. Mcfarlane, Kimball L. Garrett
The Prey Of Common Barn Owls (Tyto Alba) In Dry Limestone Scrub Forest Of Southern Jamaica, Donald A. Mcfarlane, Kimball L. Garrett
WM Keck Science Faculty Papers
A collection of common barn-owl (Tyto alba Scopoli) pellets from caves on the Portland Ridge of Jamaica reveals that whereas introduced rodents constitute approximately 90% of the total prey, bats and birds are also frequent prey items. Of the bats, frugivorous species predominate with Ariteus flavescens Gray and Artibeus jamaicensis Leach accounting for the largest portion of the bat prey. Insectivorous bats are markedly under-represented with respect to the known diversity of insectivorous species in the habitat.
Viscous Cross-Waves: An Analytical Treatment, Andrew J. Bernoff, L. P. Kwok, Seth Lichter
Viscous Cross-Waves: An Analytical Treatment, Andrew J. Bernoff, L. P. Kwok, Seth Lichter
All HMC Faculty Publications and Research
Viscous effects on the excitation of cross‐waves in a semi‐infinite box of finite depth and width are considered. A formalism using matched asymptotic expansions and an improved method of computing the solvability condition is used to derive the relative contributions of the free‐surface, sidewall, bottom, and wavemaker viscous boundary layers. This analysis yields an expression for the damping coefficient previously incorporated on heuristic grounds. In addition, three new contributions are found: a viscous detuning of the resonant frequency, a slow spatial variation in the coupling to the progressive wave, and a viscous correction to the wavemaker boundary condition. The wavemaker …
Continuum Model Of Thin-Film Deposition And Growth, Andrew J. Bernoff, Seth Lichter
Continuum Model Of Thin-Film Deposition And Growth, Andrew J. Bernoff, Seth Lichter
All HMC Faculty Publications and Research
A continuum theory for the deposition and growth of solid films is presented. The theory is developed in a coordinate-independent manner and so incorporates the fully nonlinear physics. The evolution of the film is modeled in three steps. First, the adsorption of atoms in the incident beam is modeled as a ballistic process. Second, the random motion of the adatoms is treated as a diffusive process. Finally, sticking of adatoms to the film occurs as a Poisson process. The resulting system of differential equations is examined in several parameter limits. The diffusively dominated limit appears similar to zone 1 of …
Turnpike Structures For Optimal Maneuvers, Arthur T. Benjamin
Turnpike Structures For Optimal Maneuvers, Arthur T. Benjamin
All HMC Faculty Publications and Research
This dissertation is concerned with problems of optimally maneuvering a collection of objects ("pieces") from one location to another, subject to various restrictions on the allowable movements. We illustrate and prove that when the "distance" from the origin to the destination is large, and the movement rules and environment satisfy certain "homogeneity" properties, there exist near-optimal trajectories with very special (turnpike) structure.
These results are obtained by representing the problem through a configuration graph. Here, we have a node for each configuration and an arc for every "different" legal move. Each arc is endowed with a scalar weight …
Random Sequential Absorption On Graphs, Nicholas Pippenger
Random Sequential Absorption On Graphs, Nicholas Pippenger
All HMC Faculty Publications and Research
This paper analyzes a process whereby the vertices of a graph are considered in a random sequence,and each considered vertex is “occupied” unless it or an adjacent vertex has previously been occupied. The process continues until no more vertices can be occupied, at which point the “jamming limit” has been reached. The case in which the graph is regular (so that every vertex has degree $d\geqq 2$ and has “few short cycles” is treated. In particular, the results apply to infinite regular trees, to finite graphs obtained from them by forming quotient graphs, and to random regular graphs.
It is …

Ab initio and extended Hückel calculations have been used to discuss the bonding scheme in X₂Y₂ neutral and ionic main group clusters. A qualitative analysis suggests that two different electron counts, 20 and 22, are possible for the butterfly structures of these systems. This results from two orbital crossings in the correlation diagram for the tetrahedral (T_d) -> butterfly (C_2v) -> square-planar (D_2h) transformation. Detailed ab initio computations substantiate this analysis and show that the 20-electron butterfly structure becomes increasingly favored over the tetrahedral one in X₂Y₂ clusters when the 2 atoms have increasing electronegativity difference. …

Nonnegative Solutions To A Semilinear Dirichlet Problem In A Ball Are Positive And Radially Symmetric, Alfonso Castro, Ratnasingham Shivaji
All HMC Faculty Publications and Research
We prove that nonnegative solutions to a semilinear Dirichlet problem in a ball are positive, and hence radially symmetric. In particular, this answers a question in [3] where positive solutions were proven to be radially symmetric. In section 4 we provide a sufficient condition on the geometry of the domain which ensures that nonnegative solutions are positive in the interior.
