Gradient Lagrangian systems and semilinear PDE
MATHEMATICS IN ENGINEERING
Autore/i: Alessio, F. G.; Montecchiari, P.
Classificazione: 1 Contributo su Rivista
Abstract: We survey some results about multiplicity of certain classes of entire solutions to semilinear elliptic equations or systems of the form −Δu=Fu(x,u), including the Allen Cahn or the stationary Nonlinear Schr"odinger case. In connection with this kind of problems we study some metric separation properties of sublevels of the functional V(u)=12‖∇u‖2H1(ℝN)−1p+1‖u‖p+1Lp+1(ℝN) in relation to the value of the exponent p+1∈(2,2∗N)

A note on a class of double well potential problems
RENDICONTI DELL'ISTITUTO DI MATEMATICA DELL'UNIVERSITÀ DI TRIESTE
Autore/i: Montecchiari, Piero; Rabinowitz, Paul H.
Classificazione: 1 Contributo su Rivista
Abstract: It is well known that under appropriate conditions on a double well potential, the associated Hamiltonian system possesses a pair of heteroclinic solutions joining the minima of the potential in addition to infinitely many other homoclinics and heteroclinics that oscillate between these minima. This paper studies the effect on such solutions of replacing the temporal domain, R, by a finite but long time interval.

Classificazione: 1 Contributo su Rivista
Abstract: This paper surveys some recent work on a variant of the Mountain Pass Theorem that is applicable to some classes of differential equations involving unbounded spatial or temporal domains. In particular its application to a system of semilinear elliptic PDEs on $R^n$ and to a family of Hamiltonian systems involving double well potentials will also be discussed.

Prescribed energy connecting orbits for gradient systems
DISCRETE AND CONTINUOUS DYNAMICAL SYSTEMS
Autore/i: ALESSIO, Francesca Gemma; MONTECCHIARI, Piero; Zuniga, Andres
Classificazione: 1 Contributo su Rivista
Abstract: We are concerned with conservative systems q’’=∇V(q), q∈RN for a general class of potentials V∈C^1(R^N). Assuming that a given sublevel set {V≤c} splits in the disjoint union of two closed subsets V_{c−} and V_{c+}, for some c∈R, we establish the existence of bounded solutions qc to the above system with energy equal to −c whose trajectories connect V_{c−} and V_{c+}. The solutions are obtained through an energy constrained variational method, whenever mild coerciveness properties are present in the problem. The connecting orbits are classified into brake, heteroclinic or homoclinic type, depending on the behavior of ∇V on ∂V_{c± }. Next, we illustrate applications of the existence result to double-well potentials V, and for potentials associated to systems of duffing type and of multiple-pendulum type. In each of the above cases we prove some convergence results of the family of solutions (q_c).

Abstract: We study systems of elliptic equations −∆u(x)+Fu(x, u) = 0 with potentials F ∈ C2(Rn,Rm) which are periodic and even in all their variables. We show that if F(x,u) has flip symmetry with respect to two of the compo- nents of x and if the minimal periodic solutions are not degenerate then the system has saddle type solutions on Rn

Classificazione: 2 Contributo in Volume
Abstract: This paper describes various technological tools and e-learning resources used by the authors in their work as university teachers and communicators of mathematics to a general public. As pointed out by recent developments in mathematics education research, a technology enhanced teaching may have significant potentialities at tertiary level: e-learning is an essential support to overcome some logistic obstacles such as the large number of students per teacher, the small number of hours of lesson available, the heterogeneity of the freshmen’s mathematical background. Moreover, a fine design of digital environments can foster an engaging, inclusive, flexible and meaningful learning of mathematical topics. In this paper we give a perspective on some educational experiments carried out with engineering students of Università Politecnica delle Marche through specific functionalities of the Moodle platform (quiz, forum, workshop) and the dynamic geometry software Geogebra. We also report shortly on our approach to the use of new technological devices in the dissemination of scientific knowledge to a broader audience.

On global non-degeneracy conditions for chaotic behavior for a class of dynamical systems
ANNALES DE L INSTITUT HENRI POINCARÉ. ANALYSE NON LINÉAIRE
Autore/i: Montecchiari, Piero; Rabinowitz Paul, H.
Classificazione: 1 Contributo su Rivista
Abstract: For about 25 years, global methods from the calculus of variations have been used to establish the existence of chaotic behavior for some classes of dynamical systems. Like the analytical approaches that were used earlier, these methods require nondegeneracy conditions, but of a weaker nature than their predecessors. Our goal here is study such a nondegeneracy condition that has proved useful in several contexts including some involving partial differential equations, and to show this condition has an equivalent formulation involving stable and unstable manifolds.

Solutions of mountain pass type for double well potential systems
CALCULUS OF VARIATIONS AND PARTIAL DIFFERENTIAL EQUATIONS
Autore/i: Montecchiari, Piero; Rabinowitz, Paul H.
Classificazione: 1 Contributo su Rivista
Abstract: This paper studies a Hamiltonian system possessing a double well potential for which the existence of multitransition heteroclinic and homoclinic solutions that are local minimizers of an associated functional is known. Under an additional mild non-degeneracy condition on the set of all homoclinic and heteroclinic solutions, the existence of further heteroclinic and homoclinic solutions that are of mountain pass type is established. A key tool for the existence arguments is a variant of the Mountain Pass Theorem that is of independent interest.

SECTION A. MATHEMATICS Autore/i: F. ALESSIO; CALDIROLI P.; MONTECCHIARI P. Classificazione: 1 Contributo su Rivista Abstract: In this paper we consider slowly'' oscillating perturbations of almost periodic Duffing-like systems, i.e., systems of the form$\ddot u=u-(a(t)+\a(\o t))W'(u)$,$t\in$\R,$u\in$\R$^N$, where$W\in C^{2N}($\R$^N$,\R$)$is superquadratic and$a$and$\a$are positive and almost periodic. By variational methods, we prove that if$\o>0$is small enough then the system admits a multibump dynamics. As a consequence we get that the system$\ddot u=u-a(t)W'(u)$,$t\in$\R,$u\in$\R$^N$, admits multibump solutions whenever$a$belongs to an open dense subset of the set of positive almost periodic continuous functions.

Under the same assumptions on$a$, we also prove that the perturbed equation$-ddot u+u=a(t)|u|^{p-1}u+alpha(t)g(u)$admits a homoclinic orbit whenever$gin C^1(R)$satisfies$g(u)=O(u)$as$u o 0$and$alphain L^infty(R)$,$alpha(t) o 0$as$t opminfty$and$|alpha|_{L^infty}$is sufficiently small.
