We study the existence and nonexistence of singular solutions to the equation [Formula: see text], p > 1, in ℝN× [0, ∞), N ≥ 3, with a singularity at the point (0, 0), that is, nonnegative solutions satisfying u(x, 0) = 0 for x ≠ 0, assuming that α > -2 and [Formula: see text]. The problem is transferred to the one for a weighted Laplace–Beltrami operator with a nonlinear absorption, absorbing the Hardy potential in the weight. A classification of a singular solution to the weighted problem either as a source solution with a multiple of the Dirac mass as initial datum, or as a unique very singular solution, leads to a complete classification of singular solutions to the original problem, which exist if and only if [Formula: see text].

We consider, for m ∈ (0, 1) and q > 1, the porous media equation with absorption We are interested in those solutions, which we call singular solutions, that are non-negative, non-trivial, continuous in Rn × [0, ∞)\{(0, 0)}, and satisfy u(x, 0) = 0 for all x ≠ 0. We prove the following results. When q ≥ m + 2/n, there does not exist any such singular solution. When q < m + 2/n, there exists, for every c > 0, a unique singular solution u = u(c), called the fundamental solution with initial mass c, which satisfies ∫Rnu(·, t) → c as t ↘ 0. Also, there exists a unique singular solution u = u∞, called the very singular solution, which satisfies ∫Rnu∞(·, t) → ∞ as t ↘ 0.In addition, any singular solution is either u∞ or u(c) for some finite positive c, u(c1) < u(c2) when c1 < c2, and u(c) ↗ u∞ as c ↗ ∞.Furthermore, u∞ is self-similar in the sense that u∞(x, t) = t−αw(|x| t−αβ) for α = 1/(q − 1), β = ½(q − m), and some smooth function w defined on [0, ∞), so that is a finite positive constant independent of t > 0.

We prove the uniqueness of the very singular solution to when 1 < p < (N + 2)/(N + 1), thus completing the previous result by Qi and Wang, restricted to self-similar solutions.

AbstractWe perform a complete study by using the theory of invariant point transformations and the singularity analysis for the generalized Camassa-Holm (CH) equation and the generalized Benjamin-Bono-Mahoney (BBM) equation. From the Lie theory we find that the two equations are invariant under the same three-dimensional Lie algebra which is the same Lie algebra admitted by the CH equation. We determine the one-dimensional optimal system for the admitted Lie symmetries and we perform a complete classification of the similarity solutions for the two equations of our study. The reduced equations are studied by using the point symmetries or the singularity analysis. Finally, the singularity analysis is directly applied on the partial differential equations from where we infer that the generalized equations of our study pass the singularity test and are integrable.

The equation -Δu = λeu posed in the unit ball B ⊆ ℝN, with homogeneous Dirichlet condition u|∂B = 0, has the singular solution [Formula: see text] when λ = 2(N - 2). If N ≥ 4 we show that under small deformations of the ball there is a singular solution (u,λ) close to (U,2(N - 2)). In dimension N ≥ 11 it corresponds to the extremal solution — the one associated to the largest λ for which existence holds. In contrast, we prove that if the deformation is sufficiently large then even when N ≥ 10, the extremal solution remains bounded in many cases.

Functional autonomic disorders occupy a significant part in the practice of neurologists and professionals of other specialties as well. However, there is no generally accepted classification of such disorders. In this paper the authors tried to show that functional autonomic pathology corresponds to the concept of somatoform disorders combining syndromes manifested by visceral, borderline psychopathological, neurological symptoms that do not have an organic basis. The relevance of the problem of somatoform disorders is that on the one hand many health professionals are not familiar enough with manifestations of borderline neuropsychiatric disorders, often forming functional autonomic disorders, and on the other hand they overestimate somatoform symptoms that are similar to somatic diseases.

In this article, we qualitatively explore the manner and style in which medical encounters between patients and general practitioners (GPs) are mutually conducted, as exhibited in situ in 10 consultations sourced from the One in a Million: Primary Care Consultations Archive in England. Our main objectives are to identify interactional modes, to develop a classification of these modes, and to uncover how modes emerge and shift both within and between consultations. Deploying an interactional perspective and a thematic and narrative analysis of consultation transcripts, we identified five distinctive interactional modes: question and answer (Q&A) mode, lecture mode, probabilistic mode, competition mode, and narrative mode. Most modes are GP-led. Mode shifts within consultations generally map on to the chronology of the medical encounter. Patient-led narrative modes are initiated by patients themselves, which demonstrates agency. Our classification of modes derives from complete naturally occurring consultations, covering a wide range of symptoms, and may have general applicability.

AbstractWe obtain a complete classification of complex-valued sequences which are both multiplicative and automatic.
