Transformation methods are used to analyse the series for the second order fluctuation of the transverse magnetization for the triangular and square lattices. For the triangular lattice some evidence is found for an exponential behaviour of this quantity near the critical point with a tentative estimate for the exponent [Formula: see text].

This paper deals with the second-order nonlinear systems of difference equations, we obtain the existence theorems of periodic solutions. The theorems are proved by using critical point theory.

AbstractIn this paper, we establish several results about the existence of second-order impulsive differential inclusion with periodic conditions. By using critical point theory, several new existence results are obtained. We also provide an example in order to illustrate the main abstract results of this paper.

With the use of a high-powered Ar+ laser and conventional photon counting techniques it has been possible to observe the second-order Raman spectra of single crystals of CaF2, SrF2, BaF2, and PbF2. The symmetries of the various parts of the spectra of the latter two were determined by using oriented single crystals of these two fluorides. The main features of the observed spectra have been analyzed, with the aid of group-theoretical selection rules, in terms of calculated phonon frequencies at the critical points of the Brillouin zone of these crystals.

The existence of periodic solutions for nonautonomous second-order differential inclusion systems with -Laplacian is considered. We get some existence results of periodic solutions for system, a.e. , , by using nonsmooth critical point theory. Our results generalize and improve some theorems in the literature.

AbstractIn this paper we initiate the study of second-order variational problems in {L^{\infty}}, seeking to minimise the {L^{\infty}} norm of a function of the hessian. We also derive and study the respective PDE arising as the analogue of the Euler–Lagrange equation. Given {\mathrm{H}\in C^{1}(\mathbb{R}^{n\times n}_{s})}, for the functional\mathrm{E}_{\infty}(u,\mathcal{O})=\|\mathrm{H}(\mathrm{D}^{2}u)\|_{L^{\infty}% (\mathcal{O})},\quad u\in W^{2,\infty}(\Omega),\mathcal{O}\subseteq\Omega,{}the associated equation is the fully nonlinear third-order PDE\mathrm{A}^{2}_{\infty}u:=(\mathrm{H}_{X}(\mathrm{D}^{2}u))^{\otimes 3}:(% \mathrm{D}^{3}u)^{\otimes 2}=0.{}Special cases arise when {\mathrm{H}} is the Euclidean length of either the full hessian or of the Laplacian, leading to the {\infty}-polylaplacian and the {\infty}-bilaplacian respectively. We establish several results for (1) and (2), including existence of minimisers, of absolute minimisers and of “critical point” generalised solutions, proving also variational characterisations and uniqueness. We also construct explicit generalised solutions and perform numerical experiments.
