    Doubly nonlocal reaction-diffusion equation and the emergence of species

    Full text link
    The paper is devoted to a reaction-diffusion equation with doubly nonlocal nonlinearity arising in various applications in population dynamics. One of the integral terms corresponds to the nonlocal consumption of resources while another one describes reproduction with different phenotypes. Linear stability analysis of the homogeneous in space stationary solution is carried out. Existence of travelling waves is proved in the case of narrow kernels of the integrals. Periodic travelling waves are observed in numerical simulations. Existence of stationary solutions in the form of pulses is shown, and transition from periodic waves to pulses is studied. In the applications to the speciation theory, the results of this work signify that new species can emerge only if they do not have common offsprings. Thus, it is shown how Darwin's definition of species as groups of morphologically similar individuals is related to Mayr's definition as groups of individuals that can breed only among themselves.Comment: 15 pages, 4 figure

    Sharp Semiclassical Bounds for the Moments of Eigenvalues for Some Schrödinger Type Operators with Unbounded Potentials

    We establish sharp semiclassical upper bounds for the moments of some negative powers for the eigenvalues of the Dirichlet Laplacian. When a constant magnetic field is incorporated in the problem, we obtain sharp lower bounds for the moments of positive powers not exceeding one for such eigenvalues. When considering a Schrödinger operator with the relativistic kinetic energy and a smooth, nonnegative, unbounded potential, we prove the sharp Lieb-Thirring estimate for the moments of some negative powers of its eigenvalues

    Existence of solutions of reaction-diffusion systems of equations in unbounded domains is studied by the Leray-Schauder (LS) method based on the topological degree for elliptic operators in unbounded domains and on a priori estimates of solutions in weighted spaces. We identify some reactiondiffusion systems for which there exist two subclasses of solutions separated in the function space, monotone and non-monotone solutions. A priori estimates and existence of solutions are obtained for monotone solutions allowing to prove their existence by the LS method. Various applications of this method are given.Методом Лере-Шаудера, основанном на топологической степени эллиптических операторов в неограниченных областях и на априорных оценках решений в весовых пространствах, изучается существование решений систем уравнений реакции-диффузии в неограниченных областях. Мы выделяем некоторые системы реакции-диффузии, для которых существуют два подкласса решений, отделенных друг от друга в функциональном пространстве: монотонные и немонотонные решения. Для монотонных решений получены априорные оценки, позволяющие доказать их существование методом Лере-Шаудера. Приводятся различные приложения этого метода

    The increase of Binding Energy and Enhanced Binding in Non-Relativistic QED

    Full text link
    We consider a Pauli-Fierz Hamiltonian for a particle coupled to a photon field. We discuss the effects of the increase of the binding energy and enhanced binding through coupling to a photon field, and prove that both effects are the results of the existence of the ground state of the self-energy operator with total momentum P=0P = 0.Comment: 14 pages, Latex.

    Non-analyticity of the groud state energy of the Hamiltonian for Hydrogen atom in non-relativistic QED

    Full text link
    We derive the ground state energy up to the fourth order in the fine structure constant α\alpha for the translation invariant Pauli-Fierz Hamiltonian for a spinless electron coupled to the quantized radiation field. As a consequence, we obtain the non-analyticity of the ground state energy of the Pauli-Fierz operator for a single particle in the Coulomb field of a nucleus

    Quantitative estimates on the Hydrogen ground state energy in non-relativistic QED

    Full text link
    In this paper, we determine the exact expression for the hydrogen binding energy in the Pauli-Fierz model up to the order O(α5logα1)O(\alpha^5\log\alpha^{-1}), where α\alpha denotes the finestructure constant, and prove rigorous bounds on the remainder term of the order o(α5logα1)o(\alpha^5\log\alpha^{-1}). As a consequence, we prove that the binding energy is not a real analytic function of α\alpha, and verify the existence of logarithmic corrections to the expansion of the ground state energy in powers of α\alpha, as conjectured in the recent literature.Comment: AMS Latex, 51 page

    Periodic Travelling Waves in Dimer Granular Chains

    Full text link
    We study bifurcations of periodic travelling waves in granular dimer chains from the anti-continuum limit, when the mass ratio between the light and heavy beads is zero. We show that every limiting periodic wave is uniquely continued with respect to the mass ratio parameter and the periodic waves with the wavelength larger than a certain critical value are spectrally stable. Numerical computations are developed to study how this solution family is continued to the limit of equal mass ratio between the beads, where periodic travelling waves of granular monomer chains exist
