Existence of stable solutions to (−Δ)mu=eu(-\Delta)^m u=e^u in RN\mathbb{R}^N with m≥3m \geq 3 and N>2mN > 2m

We consider the polyharmonic equation $(-\Delta)^m u=e^u$ in $\mathbb{R}^N$ with $m \geq 3$ and $N > 2m$. We prove the existence of many entire stable solutions. This answer some questions raised by Farina and Ferrero

Geometric characterization on the solvability of regulator equations

The solvability of the regulator equation for a general nonlinear system is discussed in this paper by using geometric method. The ‘feedback’ part of the regulator equation, that is, the feasible controllers for the regulator equation, is studied thoroughly. The concepts of minimal output zeroing control invariant submanifold and left invertibility are introduced to find all the possible controllers for the regulator equation under the condition of left invertibility. Useful results, such as a necessary condition for the output regulation problem and some properties of friend sets of controlled invariant manifolds, are also obtained

Location of Poles for the Hastings-McLeod Solution to the Second Painlev\'{e} Equation

We show that the well-known Hastings-McLeod solution to the second Painlev\'{e} equation is pole-free in the region $\arg x \in [-\frac{\pi}{3},\frac{\pi}{3}]\cup [\frac{2\pi}{3},\frac{ 4 \pi}{3}]$, which proves an important special case of a general conjecture concerning pole distributions of Painlev\'{e} transcedents proposed by Novokshenov. Our strategy is to construct explicit quasi-solutions approximating the Hastings-McLeod solution in different regions of the complex plane, and estimate the errors rigorously. The main idea is very similar to the one used to prove Dubrovin's conjecture for the first Painlev\'{e} equation, but there are various technical improvements.Comment: 31 pages, 2 figures.

Minkowski Brane in Asymptotic dS5_5 Spacetime without Fine-tuning

We discuss properties of a 3-brane in an asymptotic 5-dimensional de-Sitter spacetime. It is found that a Minkowski solution can be obtained without fine-tuning. In the model, the tiny observed positive cosmological constant is interpreted as a curvature of 5-dimensional manifold, but the Minkowski spacetime, where we live, is a natural 3-brane perpendicular to the fifth coordinate axis.Comment: 6 pages, Latex fil
