AbstractThe integralinvolves a large real parameter N and a small real parameter ∈. Its asymptotic behaviour is non-uniform when N → ∞ and ∈ → 0. Thus, when ∈ > 0 is kept fixed and N → ∞, the integral decays exponentially at a rate depending on ∈; when ∈ → 0 the integral tends towhich decays algebraically when N → ∞. It is shown that several distinct uniformly asymptotic expansions can be obtained which each involve an infinite set of functions of the combination Certain related integrals are also treated.

The paper deals with the asymptotic behaviour as ε → 0 of the spectrum of the Laplace–Beltrami operator Δε on the Riemannian manifold Mε (dim Mε = N ≥ 2) depending on a small parameter ε > 0. Mε consists of two perforated domains, which are connected by an array of tubes of length qε. Each perforated domain is obtained by removing from the fixed domain Ω ⊂ ℝN the system of ε-periodically distributed balls of radius dε = ō(ε). We obtain a variety of homogenized spectral problems in Ω; their type depends on some relations between ε, dε and qε. In particular, if the limitsare positive, then the homogenized spectral problem contains the spectral parameter in a nonlinear manner, and its spectrum has a sequence of accumulation points.

This paper is concerned with a particular method used in the calculation of asymptotic expansions of solutions to problems which contain a small parameter ∈. The physical idea underlying the method is that the parameter introduces new scales (of length and/or time) into the problem, and that the solution should incorporate these (see, for example, Cole (1)). This may be done in various ways: two-timing (two-scaling, multiple-scaling) does it by demanding that the solution is a function of all relevant scales. Consider, for example, a linear oscillator whose frequency is slowly adjusted, governed byand subject to some initial condition. Account of the slowly varying frequency is taken by the dependence of Ω on ∈t, where 0 < ∈ ≪ 1, and we assume that Ω > 1 for all arguments. The rapid oscillatory behaviour anticipated in the solution is customarily described by a phase function Θ(isin;t)/∈, a generalization of Ωt the case that Ω is constant, while slow changes due to frequency variation occur on a scale ∈t.

Remarks 1, 3 and 5 are incorrect as stated. They should be supplemented by the following observations:(i) In case the perturbing term is linear in y, i.e. f(t, y) = B(t)y, the conclusion of Theorem 1 will follow from Lemma 1 when applied to equation (15) if we assume, instead of (6),The hypothesis given in Trench's theorem is sufficient to imply (*) but not (6). A similar comment applies to Remark 5.

The aim of the paper is to study the asymptotic behaviour of the solution of a quasilinear elliptic equation of the form with a high-contrast discontinuous coefficient aε(x), where ε is the parameter characterizing the scale of the microstucture. The coefficient aε(x) is assumed to degenerate everywhere in the domain Ω except in a thin connected microstructure of asymptotically small measure. It is shown that the asymptotical behaviour of the solution uε as ε → 0 is described by a homogenized quasilinear equation with the coefficients calculated by local energetic characteristics of the domain Ω.

AbstractLetSbe the group of finitely supported permutations of a countably infinite set. Let$K[S]$be the group algebra ofSover a fieldKof characteristic 0. According to a theorem of Formanek and Lawrence,$K[S]$satisfies the ascending chain condition for two-sided ideals. We study the reverse mathematics of this theorem, proving its equivalence over$RC{A_0}$(or even over$RCA_0^{\rm{*}}$) to the statement that${\omega ^\omega }$is well ordered. Our equivalence proof proceeds via the statement that the Young diagrams form a well partial ordering.

We prove existence results of two solutions of the problem \[ \begin{cases} L(u)+u^{m-1}=\lambda u^{p-1} & \text{in}\ \Omega,\\ u>0 & \text{in}\ \Omega,\\ u=0 & \text{on}\ \partial \Omega, \end{cases} \] where $L(v)=-\textrm {div}(M(x)\nabla v)$ is a linear operator, $p\in (2,2^{*}]$ and $\lambda$ and $m$ sufficiently large. Then their asymptotical limit as $m\to +\infty$ is investigated showing different behaviours.

A large number of important integral transforms, such as Laplace, Fourier sine and cosine, Hankel, Stieltjes, and Riemann- Liouville fractional integral transforms, can be put in the form1.1where f(t) and the kernel, h(t), are locally integrable functions on (0,∞), and x is a positive parameter. Recently, two important techniques have been developed to give asymptotic expansions of I(x) as x → + ∞ or x → 0+. One method relies heavily on the theory of Mellin transforms [8] and the other is based on the use of distributions [24]. Here, of course, the integral I(x) is assumed to exist in some ordinary sense.If the above integral does not exist in any ordinary sense, then it may be regarded as an integral transform of a distribution (generalized function). There are mainly two approaches to extend the classical integral transforms to distributions.

AbstractLet$\Omega \subset \mathbb{R}^{N} $, N ≽ 2, be a smooth bounded domain. For s ∈ (1/2, 1), we consider a problem of the form $$\left\{\begin{array}{@{}ll} (-\Delta)^s u = \mu(x)\, \mathbb{D}_s^{2}(u) + \lambda f(x), & {\rm in}\,\Omega, \\ u= 0, & {\rm in}\,\mathbb{R}^{N} \setminus \Omega,\end{array}\right.$$ where λ > 0 is a real parameter, f belongs to a suitable Lebesgue space, $\mu \in L^{\infty}$ and $\mathbb {D}_s^2$ is a nonlocal ‘gradient square’ term given by $$\mathbb{D}_s^2 (u) = \frac{a_{N,s}}{2} \int_{\mathbb{R}^{N}} \frac{|u(x)-u(y)|^2}{|x-y|^{N+2s}}\,{\rm d}y.$$ Depending on the real parameter λ > 0, we derive existence and non-existence results. The proof of our existence result relies on sharp Calderón–Zygmund type regularity results for the fractional Poisson equation with low integrability data. We also obtain existence results for related problems involving different nonlocal diffusion terms.

The question discussed in this study concerns one of the most helpful approximation methods, namely, the expansion of a solution of a differential equation in a series in powers of a small parameter. We used the Lindstedt-Poincaré perturbation method to construct a solution closer to uniformly valid asymptotic expansions for periodic solutions of second-order nonlinear differential equations.
