CRASHES AS CRITICAL POINTS [PDF]
We study a rational expectation model of bubbles and crashes. The model has two components: (1) our key assumption is that a crash may be caused by local self-reinforcing imitation between noise traders. If the tendency for noise traders to imitate their nearest neighbors increases up to a certain point called the "critical" point, all noise traders ...

Critical Points of Strichartz Functional [PDF]
We study a pair of infinite dimensional dynamical systems naturally associated with the study of minimizing/maximizing functions for the Strichartz inequalities for the Schrödinger equation. One system is of gradient type and the other one is a Hamiltonian system.

Deconfined Quantum Critical Points [PDF]
The theory of second-order phase transitions is one of the foundations of modern statistical mechanics and condensed-matter theory. A central concept is the observable order parameter, whose nonzero average value characterizes one or more phases. At large distances and long times, fluctuations of the order parameter(s) are described by a continuum ...

QCD and the chiral critical point [PDF]
As an extension of $QCD$, consider a theory with ``$2+1$'' flavors, where the current quark masses are held in a fixed ratio as the overall scale of the quark masses is varied. At nonzero temperature and baryon density it is expected that in the chiral limit the chiral phase transition is of first order.

Let H be a Hilbert space such that H=V⊕W, where V and W are two closed subspaces of H. We generalize an abstract theorem due to Lazer et al. (1975) and a theorem given by Moussaoui (1990-1991) to the case where V and W are not necessarily finite ...

By $Z_{2}$-index theory, the existence and multiplicity of solutions for some fourth-order boundary value problems $$ \begin{cases} u^{(4)}+au''=\mu u+F_{u}(t,u ...

The Assessment of Level of Flash Floods Threat of Urbanised Areas
Flash floods (or torrential rain flooding) is another type of flood hazard which has caused casualties and significant property damages. A methodology for identification of urban areas, which can potentially be burdened by that type of flood hazard, was ...

Relative Critical Points [PDF]
Relative equilibria of Lagrangian and Hamiltonian systems with symmetry are critical points of appropriate scalar functions parametrized by the Lie algebra (or its dual) of the symmetry group. Setting aside the structures - symplectic, Poisson, or variational - generating dynamical systems from such functions highlights the common features of their ...

Existence results for a sublinear second order Dirichlet boundary value problem on the half-line [PDF]
In this paper we study the existence of nontrivial solutions for a boundary value problem on the half-line, where the nonlinear term is sublinear, by using Ekeland's variational principle and critical point theory.
