Maximum principle, mean value operators and quasi boundedness in non-euclidean settingsTommasoli, Andrea <1976> 30 June 2008 (has links)
This work deals with some classes of linear second order partial differential
operators with non-negative characteristic form and underlying non-
Euclidean structures. These structures are determined by families of locally
Lipschitz-continuous vector fields in RN, generating metric spaces of Carnot-
Carath´eodory type. The Carnot-Carath´eodory metric related to a family
{Xj}j=1,...,m is the control distance obtained by minimizing the time needed
to go from two points along piecewise trajectories of vector fields. We are
mainly interested in the causes in which a Sobolev-type inequality holds with
respect to the X-gradient, and/or the X-control distance is Doubling with
respect to the Lebesgue measure in RN. This study is divided into three
parts (each corresponding to a chapter), and the subject of each one is a
class of operators that includes the class of the subsequent one.
In the first chapter, after recalling “X-ellipticity” and related concepts
introduced by Kogoj and Lanconelli in [KL00], we show a Maximum Principle
for linear second order differential operators for which we only assume
a Sobolev-type inequality together with a lower terms summability. Adding
some crucial hypotheses on measure and on vector fields (Doubling property
and Poincar´e inequality), we will be able to obtain some Liouville-type results.
This chapter is based on the paper [GL03] by Guti´errez and Lanconelli.
In the second chapter we treat some ultraparabolic equations on Lie
groups. In this case RN is the support of a Lie group, and moreover we require that vector fields satisfy left invariance. After recalling some results
of Cinti [Cin07] about this class of operators and associated potential theory,
we prove a scalar convexity for mean-value operators of L-subharmonic
functions, where L is our differential operator.
In the third chapter we prove a necessary and sufficient condition of regularity,
for boundary points, for Dirichlet problem on an open subset of RN related
to sub-Laplacian. On a Carnot group we give the essential background
for this type of operator, and introduce the notion of “quasi-boundedness”.
Then we show the strict relationship between this notion, the fundamental
solution of the given operator, and the regularity of the boundary points.

Modelli Matematici per Transizioni di Fase in Materiali SpecialiGrandi, Diego <1975> 08 July 2009 (has links)
In questa Tesi vengono trattati alcuni temi relativi alla modellizzazione matematica delle Transizioni di Fase, il cui filo conduttore è la descrizione basata su un parametro d'ordine, originato dalla Teoria di Landau. Dopo aver presentato in maniera generale un modo di approccio alla dinamica delle transizioni mediante campo di fase, con particolare attenzione al problema della consistenza termodinamica nelle situazioni non isoterme, si considerano tre applicazioni di tale metodo a transizioni di fase specifiche: la transizione ferromagnetica, la transizione superconduttrice e la transizione martensitica nelle leghe a memoria di forma (SMA). Il contributo maggiore viene fornito nello studio di quest'ultima transizione di fase per la quale si è elaborato un modello a campo di fase termodinamicamente consistente, atto a descriverne le proprietà termomeccaniche essenziali.

An equilibrium approach to modelling social interactionGallo, Ignacio Alejandro <1981> 08 July 2009 (has links)
The aim of this work is to put forward a statistical mechanics theory of social interaction, generalizing econometric discrete choice models. After showing the formal equivalence linking econometric multinomial logit models to equilibrium statical mechanics, a multi- population generalization of the Curie-Weiss model for ferromagnets is considered as a starting point in developing a model capable of describing sudden shifts in aggregate human behaviour. Existence of the thermodynamic limit for the model is shown by an asymptotic sub-additivity method and factorization of correlation
functions is proved almost everywhere. The exact solution for the model is provided in the thermodynamical limit by nding converging upper and lower bounds for the system's pressure, and the solution is used to prove an analytic result regarding the number of possible equilibrium states of a two-population system. The work stresses the importance of linking regimes predicted by the model to real phenomena, and to this end it proposes two possible
procedures to estimate the model's parameters starting from micro-level data. These are applied to three case studies based on census type data: though these studies are found to be ultimately inconclusive on an empirical level, considerations are drawn that encourage further refinements of the chosen modelling approach, to be considered in future work.

Bistable elliptic equations with fractional diffusionCinti, Eleonora <1982> 05 July 2010 (has links)
This work concerns the study of bounded solutions to elliptic
nonlinear equations with fractional diffusion. More precisely, the aim of this
thesis is to investigate some open questions related to a conjecture of De Giorgi about the one-dimensional symmetry of bounded monotone solutions in all
space, at least up to dimension 8.
This property on 1-D symmetry of monotone solutions for
fractional equations was known in dimension n=2. The question remained open for n>2. In this work we establish new sharp energy estimates and one-dimensional symmetry property in dimension 3 for certain solutions of fractional equations. Moreover we study a particular type of solutions, called saddle-shaped solutions, which are the candidates to be global minimizers not one-dimensional in dimensions bigger or equal than 8. This is an open problem and it is expected to be true from the classical theory of minimal surfaces.
