AbstractWe establish the existence and uniqueness of a factorization for geometric morphisms that generalizes the pure, complete spread factorization for geometric morphisms with a locally connected domain. A complete spread with locally connected domain over a topos is a geometric counterpart of a Lawvere distribution on the topos, and the factorization itself is of the comprehensive type. The new factorization removes the topologically restrictive local connectedness requirement by working with quasicomponents in topos theory. In the special case when the codomain topos of the geometric morphism coincides with the base topos, the factorization gives the locale of quasicomponents of the domain topos, or its ‘0-dimensional’ reflection.

AbstractWe study the eigenvalue problem for a superlinear convolution operator in the special case of bilinear constitutive laws and establish the existence and uniqueness of a one-parameter family of nonlinear eigenfunctions under a topological shape constraint. Our proof uses a nonlinear change of scalar parameters and applies Krein–Rutman arguments to a linear substitute problem. We also present numerical simulations and discuss the asymptotics of two limiting cases.

We consider two-dimensional and axially symmetric critical-state problems in type-II superconductivity, and show that these problems are equivalent to evolutionary quasi-variational inequalities. In a special case, where the inequalities become variational, the existence and uniqueness of the solution are proved.

The cells in a tissue occupying a region Ωt are divided according to their cycling phase. The density pi of cells in phase i depends on the spatial variable x, the time t, and the time si since the cells entered in phase i. The pi(x, t, si) and the oxygen concentration w(x, t) satisfy a system of PDEs in Ωt, and the boundary of Ωt is a free boundary. We denote by [Formula: see text] the oxygen concentration on the free boundary and consider the radially symmetric case, so that Ωt = {r < R(t)}. We prove that R(t) is always bounded; furthermore, if [Formula: see text] is small, then R(t) → 0 as t → ∞, and if [Formula: see text] is large, then R(t) ≥ c > 0 for all t. Finally, we prove the existence and uniqueness of a stationary solution in a special case.

The importance of finite limits in completeness conditions has been long recognized. One has only to consider elementary toposes, pretoposes, exact categories, etc., to realize their ubiquity. However, often pullbacks suffice and in a sense are more natural. For example it is pullbacks that are the essential ingredient in composition of spans, partial morphisms and relations. In fact the original definition of elementary topos was based on the notion of partial morphism classifier which involved only pullbacks (see [6]). Many constructions in topos theory, involving left exact functors, such as coalgebras on a cotriple and the gluing construction, also work for pullback preserving functors. And pullback preserving functors occur naturally in the subject, e.g. constant functors and the Σα. These observations led Rosebrugh and Wood to introduce partial geometric morphisms; functors with a pullback preserving left adjoint [9]. Other reasons led Kennison independently to introduce the same concept under the name semi-geometric functors [5].

This paper studies the existence and uniqueness of a mild solution for a neutral stochastic partial functional differential equation using a local Lipschitz condition. When the neutral term is zero and even in the deterministic special case, the result obtained here appears to be new. An example is included to illustrate the theory.

We study the generalized Tricomi problem for the Lavrentiev–Bitsadze equation in a sector, when the boundary condition prescribed in the hyperbolic region is far away from the characteristic. The existence and uniqueness of a solution to this problem is proven and further estimates of interest are established.

The purpose of this paper is to investigate the problems of the well-posedness for a system of mixed quasivariational-like inequalities in Banach spaces. First, we generalize the concept ofα-well-posedness to the system of mixed quasivariational-like inequalities, which includes symmetric quasi-equilibrium problems as a special case. Second, we establish some metric characterizations ofα-well-posedness for the system of mixed quasivariational-like inequalities. Under some suitable conditions, we prove that theα-well-posedness is equivalent to the existence and uniqueness of solution for the system of mixed quasivariational-like inequalities. The corresponding concept ofα-well-posedness in the generalized sense is also considered for the system of mixed quasivariational-like inequalities having more than one solution. The results presented in this paper generalize and improve some known results in the literature.

AbstractWe prove the existence and uniqueness of Kähler–Einstein metrics on {{\mathbb{Q}}}-Fano varieties with log terminal singularities (and more generally on log Fano pairs) whose Mabuchi functional is proper. We study analogues of the works of Perelman on the convergence of the normalized Kähler–Ricci flow, and of Keller, Rubinstein on its discrete version, Ricci iteration. In the special case of (non-singular) Fano manifolds, our results on Ricci iteration yield smooth convergence without any additional condition, improving on previous results. Our result for the Kähler–Ricci flow provides weak convergence independently of Perelman’s celebrated estimates.

We show that if {Gi}J ε I is a generating set for an (elementary) topos ℰ then {P(Gi)}iεI is a cogenerating set for x2130;. From this we show that if topos ℰ contains an object G whose subobjects generate ℰ, then ΩG is a cogenerator for ℰ. Let denote the topos of finite sets and functions. We also show that if ℰ1 is a topos and ℰ2 is a bounded -topos then every geometric morphism ℰ1 → ℰ2 is essential.

We present a special class of mechanical systems that could be written as Chua circuits with discontinuities. We recall the general frame for the study of such models. Results of existence and uniqueness are given. Then numerical results obtained via piecewise analytical expressions are presented. We discuss some bifurcation diagrams, phase portraits. Chaos is characterized by computing Lyapunov exponents. We analyze the global behavior in a special case where discontinuity stabilizes the trivial equilibrium solution.
