AbstractWe consider nonlinear periodic problems driven by the scalar p-Laplacian with a Carathéodory reaction term. Under conditions which permit resonance at infinity with respect to any eigenvalue, we show that the problem has a nontrivial smooth solution. Our approach combines variational techniques based on critical point theory with Morse theory.

Abstract Space–time extrapolation is a key technique in precipitation nowcasting. Motions of patterns are estimated using two or more consecutive images, and the patterns are extrapolated in space and time to obtain their future patterns. Applying space–time extrapolation to satellite-based global precipitation data will provide valuable information for regions where ground-based precipitation nowcasts are not available. However, this technique is sensitive to the accuracy of the motion vectors, and over the past few decades, previous studies have investigated methods for obtaining reliable motion vectors such as variational techniques. In this paper, an alternative approach applying data assimilation to precipitation nowcasting is proposed. A prototype extrapolation system is implemented with the local ensemble transform Kalman filter and is tested with the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency’s Global Satellite Mapping of Precipitation (GSMaP) product. Data assimilation successfully improved the global precipitation nowcasting with the real-case GSMaP data.

We present the formal geometric derivation of a non-equilibrium growth model that takes the form of a parabolic partial differential equation. Subsequently, we study its stationary radial solutions by means of variational techniques. Our results depend on the size of a parameter that plays the role of the strength of forcing. For small forcing we prove the existence and multiplicity of solutions to the elliptic problem. We discuss our results in the context of non-equilibrium statistical mechanics.

Averaging Techniques

The ground-state properties of polarons in a one-dimensional chain is studied analytically within the modified Lang–Firsov (MLF) transformation using various phonon-averaging techniques. The object of the work is to examine how the analytical approaches may be improved to give rise to the real picture of polaronic properties as predicted by extensive numerical studies. The results are compared with those obtained from numerical analyses using the density matrix renormalization group (DMRG) and other variational techniques. It is observed that our results agree well with the numerical results particularly in the low and intermediate range of phonon coupling.
