AbstractThe non-local equation$$ u_t=(u^3u_x)_x+\frac{\lambda f(u)}{(\int_{-1}^1f(u)\,\rd x)^{2}} $$is considered, subject to some initial and Dirichlet boundary conditions. Here $f$ is taken to be either $\exp(-s^4)$ or $H(1-s)$ with $H$ the Heaviside function, which are both decreasing. It is found that there exists a critical value $\lambda^*=2$, so that for $\lambda>\lambda^{*}$ there is no stationary solution and $u$ ‘blows up’ (in some sense). If $0\lt\lambda\lt\lambda^{*}$, there is a unique stationary solution which is asymptotically stable and the solution of the IBVP is global in time.AMS 2000 Mathematics subject classification: Primary 35B30; 35B35; 35B40; 35K20; 35K55; 35K99

In this article we obtain asymptotic formulas of arbitrary order for eigenfunctions and eigenvalues of the nonselfadjoint Sturm-Liouville operators with Dirichlet boundary conditions, when the potential is a summable function. Then using these we compute the main part of the eigenvalues in special cases.

We consider the non-local problemwhich models the temperature when an electric current flows through a material with temperature dependent electrical resistivity f(u) > 0, subject to a fixed potential difference. It is found that for some special cases where f is decreasing andso the problem can be scaled to makethen:(a) for λ < 8 there is a unique steady state which is globally asymptotically stable: (b) for λ = 8 there is no steady state and u is unbounded; (c) for λ > 8 there is no steady state and u blows up for all x, – 1 < x < 1.

In this paper, we consider the asymptotic behaviour for the non-local parabolic problemwith a homogeneous Dirichlet boundary condition, where λ > 0,p> 0 andfis non-increasing. It is found that (a) for 0 <p≤ 1,u(x,t) is globally bounded and the unique stationary solution is globally asymptotically stable for any λ > 0; (b) for 1 <p< 2,u(x,t) is globally bounded for any λ > 0; (c) forp= 2, if 0 < λ < 2|∂Ω|2, thenu(x,t) is globally bounded; if λ = 2|∂Ω|2, there is no stationary solution andu(x,t) is a global solution andu(x,t) → ∞ ast→ ∞ for allx∈ Ω; if λ > 2|∂Ω|2, there is no stationary solution andu(x,t) blows up in finite time for allx∈ Ω; (d) forp> 2, there exists a λ* > 0 such that for λ > λ*, or for 0 < λ ≤ λ* andu0(x) sufficiently large,u(x,t) blows up in finite time. Moreover, some formal asymptotic estimates for the behaviour ofu(x,t) as it blows up are obtained forp≥ 2.

In this paper we establish an existence and uniqueness result for a class of non-local elliptic differential equations with the Dirichlet boundary conditions, which, in general, do not accept a maximum principle. We introduce one monotone sequence of lower–upper pairs of solutions and prove uniform convergence of that sequence to the actual solution of the problem, which is the unique solution for some range of λ (the parameter of the problem). The convergence of the iterative sequence is tested through examples with an order of convergence greater than 1.

AbstractThe main purpose of the current paper is to contribute towards the comprehension of the dynamics of the shadow system of a singular Gierer–Meinhardt model on an isotropically evolving domain. In the case where the inhibitor’s response to the activator’s growth is rather weak, then the shadow system of the Gierer–Meinhardt model is reduced to a single though non-local equation whose dynamics is thoroughly investigated throughout the manuscript. The main focus is on the derivation of blow-up results for this non-local equation, which can be interpreted as instability patterns of the shadow system. In particular, a diffusion-driven instability (DDI), or Turing instability, in the neighbourhood of a constant stationary solution, which then is destabilised via diffusion-driven blow-up, is observed. The latter indicates the formation of some unstable patterns, whilst some stability results of global-in-time solutions towards non-constant steady states guarantee the occurrence of some stable patterns. Most of the theoretical results are verified numerically, whilst the numerical approach is also used to exhibit the dynamics of the shadow system when analytical methods fail.

The aim of this article is to study the existence of positive weak solution for a quasilinear reaction-diffusion system with Dirichlet boundary conditions,− div(|∇u1|p1−2∇u1) = λu1α11u2α12... unα1n,   x ∈ Ω,− div(|∇u2|p2−2∇u2) = λu1α21u2α22... unα2n,   x ∈ Ω, ... , − div(|∇un|pn−2∇un) = λu1αn1u2αn2... unαnn,   x ∈ Ω,ui = 0,   x ∈ ∂Ω,   i = 1, 2, ..., n,  where λ is a positive parameter, Ω is a bounded domain in RN (N > 1) with smooth boundary ∂Ω. In addition, we assume that 1 < pi < N for i = 1, 2, ..., n. For λ large by applying the method of sub-super solutions the existence of a large positive weak solution is established for the above nonlinear elliptic system.

Abstract We find the most general solution to Chern-Simons AdS3 gravity in Fefferman-Graham gauge. The connections are equivalent to geometries that have a non-trivial curved boundary, characterized by a 2-dimensional vielbein and a spin connection. We define a variational principle for Dirichlet boundary conditions and find the boundary stress tensor in the Chern-Simons formalism. Using this variational principle as the departure point, we show how to treat other choices of boundary conditions in this formalism, such as, including the mixed boundary conditions corresponding to a $$ T\overline{T} $$ T T ¯ -deformation.

Abstract The gravitational charge algebra of generic asymptotically locally (A)dS spacetimes is derived in n dimensions. The analysis is performed in the Starobinsky/Fefferman-Graham gauge, without assuming any further boundary condition than the minimal falloffs for conformal compactification. In particular, the boundary structure is allowed to fluctuate and plays the role of source yielding some symplectic flux at the boundary. Using the holographic renormalization procedure, the divergences are removed from the symplectic structure, which leads to finite expressions. The charges associated with boundary diffeomorphisms are generically non-vanishing, non-integrable and not conserved, while those associated with boundary Weyl rescalings are non-vanishing only in odd dimensions due to the presence of Weyl anomalies in the dual theory. The charge algebra exhibits a field-dependent 2-cocycle in odd dimensions. When the general framework is restricted to three-dimensional asymptotically AdS spacetimes with Dirichlet boundary conditions, the 2-cocycle reduces to the Brown-Henneaux central extension. The analysis is also specified to leaky boundary conditions in asymptotically locally (A)dS spacetimes that lead to the Λ-BMS asymptotic symmetry group. In the flat limit, the latter contracts into the BMS group in n dimensions.
