Abstract

A phase field model proposed by G. Caginalp for the description of phase changes in materials is under consideration. It is assumed that the medium is located in a container with heat conductive walls that are not subjected to phase changes. Therefore, the temperature variable is defined both in the medium and wall regions, whereas the phase variable is only considered in the medium part. The case of Lipschitz domains in two and three dimensions is studied. We show that the temperature and phase variables are continuous in time functions with values in $L^2$ and $H^1$, respectively, provided that the initial values of them are from $L^2$ and $H^1$, respectively. Moreover, continuous dependence of solutions on the initial data and boundary conditions is proved.

Typical dynamical properties of operators on $\ell_p$

We investigate the typical dynamical properties of hypercyclic operators in $\mathcal{L}_M(X)$, the set of all bounded linear operators on $X$ whose norms are at most $M$, when $X=\ell_p$, $1< p<\infty$. We show that, with respect to SOT$^*$, a typical operator $T\in \mathcal{L}_M(X)$ is weakly mixing, is weakly disjoint from a given hypercyclic operator $S$, is not topologically ergodic, and satisfies $(T,T^2,\dotsc,T^k)$ is disjoint hypercyclic for any $k\geq 2$. We also study the typical dynamical properties for the concrete family $\mathcal{M}=\{I+B_w\in \mathcal{L}(X)\colon w\in c_0(\mathbb{Z})\}$, endowed with the norm topology, where $B_w$ is a bilateral weighted backward shift.

A bi-Lipschitz characterization of strong minimum-attainment for Lipschitz maps

We completely characterize the denseness of strongly minimum-attaining Lipschitz functions, a minimum analogue for strongly norm-attaining Lipschitz functions, in terms of bi-Lipschitz embeddings. More precisely, our main result shows that the set of strongly minimum-attaining Lipschitz functions defined on a complete metric space $M$ fails the denseness if and only if $M$ is bi-Lipschitz equivalent to a subset of $\mathbb{R}$ with positive Lebesgue measure, or equivalently, if $M$ admits a bi-Lipschitz embedding into $\mathbb{R}$ and $M$ has positive 1-dimensional Hausdorff measure. As a consequence, we provide an isometric characterization of the pure 1-unrectifiability of $M$ in terms of strongly minimum-attaining Lipschitz maps defined on bi-Lipschitz copies of closed subsets of $M$. Several counterexamples showing that the main result cannot be naturally extended to the vector-valued setting are also presented.

On weak dominance of t-conorms over t-norms

The weak dominance of aggregation operators, particularly between triangular norms (t-norms) and triangular conorms (t-conorms), has attracted considerable attention in aggregation operator theory. While several characterizations have been obtained for Archimedean and continuous cases, a general criterion for continuous t-conorms over continuous t-norms remains to be fully clarified. In this paper, we provide a complete characterization of a continuous t-conorm weakly dominating a continuous t-norm. We first reduce the problem for ordinal sum operators to that for their single Archimedean components, and then express the weak dominance condition entirely in terms of the additive generators of these components. Our approach covers both strict and nilpotent cases uniformly, and recovers the known results for Archimedean operators as a special case.
