We prove optimal lower bounds for arbitrary eigenvalue ratios (μm/μn) of the Sturm–Liouville operator with Dirichlet and Neumann boundary conditions. These imply optimal bounds for the eigenvalue gaps (μm – μn) of the corresponding problem. The method can be generalised to consider general separated endpoint boundary conditions.

AbstractThis paper is concerned with the maximisation of the $k$-th eigenvalue of the Laplacian amongst flat tori of unit volume in dimension $d$ as $k$ goes to infinity. We show that in any dimension maximisers exist for any given $k$, but that any sequence of maximisers degenerates as $k$ goes to infinity when the dimension is at most 10. Furthermore, we obtain specific upper and lower bounds for the injectivity radius of any sequence of maximisers. We also prove that flat Klein bottles maximising the $k$-th eigenvalue of the Laplacian exhibit the same behaviour. These results contrast with those obtained recently by Gittins and Larson, stating that sequences of optimal cuboids for either Dirichlet or Neumann boundary conditions converge to the cube no matter the dimension. We obtain these results via Weyl asymptotics with explicit control of the remainder in terms of the injectivity radius. We reduce the problem at hand to counting lattice points inside anisotropically expanding domains, where we generalise methods of Yu. Kordyukov and A. Yakovlev by considering domains that expand at different rates in various directions.

AbstractThis paper deals with some non-linear initial-boundary value problems under homogeneous Neumann boundary conditions, in which the solutions may blow up in finite time. Using a first-order differential inequality technique, lower bounds for blow-up time are determined.

This paper deals with the blow-up phenomena for a type of nonlinear porous medium equations with weighted source ut −4um = a(x)f(u) subject to Dirichlet (or Neumann) boundary conditions. Based on the auxiliary functions and differential-integral inequalities, the blow-up criterions which ensure that u cannot exist all time are given under two different assumptions, and the corresponding estimates on the upper bounds for blow-up time and blow-up rate are derived respectively. Moreover, we use three different methods to determine the lower bounds for blow-up time and blow-up rate estimates if blow-up does occurs.

This paper deals with the blow-up of solutions to a class of parabolic problems with time-dependent coefficients under homogeneous Neumann boundary conditions. For one set of problems in this class we show that no global solution can exist. For another we derive lower bounds for the time of blow-up when blow-up occurs.

Abstract In this paper, the blow-up analyses in nonlocal reaction diffusion equations with time-dependent coefficients are investigated under Neumann boundary conditions. By constructing some suitable auxiliary functions and using differential inequality techniques, we show some sufficient conditions to ensure that the solution u ( x , t ) u(x,t) blows up at a finite time under appropriate measure sense. Furthermore, an upper and a lower bound on blow-up time are derived under some appropriate assumptions. At last, two examples are presented to illustrate the application of our main results.

AbstractThis paper deals with non-self-adjoint differential operators with two constant delays generated by {-y^{\prime\prime}+q_{1}(x)y(x-\tau_{1})+(-1)^{i}q_{2}(x)y(x-\tau_{2})}, where {\frac{\pi}{3}\leq\tau_{2}<\frac{\pi}{2}<2\tau_{2}\leq\tau_{1}<\pi} and potentials {q_{j}} are real-valued functions, {q_{j}\in L^{2}[0,\pi]}. We will prove that the delays and the potentials are uniquely determined from the spectra of four boundary value problems: two of them under boundary conditions {y(0)=y(\pi)=0} and the remaining two under boundary conditions {y(0)=y^{\prime}(\pi)=0}.

This paper is concerned with the numerical solution of the nonlinear Schrödinger (NLS) equation with Neumann boundary conditions by quintic B-spline Galerkin finite element method as the shape and weight functions over the finite domain. The Galerkin B-spline method is more efficient and simpler than the general Galerkin finite element method. For the Galerkin B-spline method, the Crank Nicolson and finite difference schemes are applied for nodal parameters and for time integration. Two numerical problems are discussed to demonstrate the accuracy and feasibility of the proposed method. The error norms L 2 , L ∞ and conservation laws I 1 ,   I 2 are calculated to check the accuracy and feasibility of the method. The results of the scheme are compared with previously obtained approximate solutions and are found to be in good agreement.
