In this work, we will do some applications of the Moving Spheres method, a variant of the method of Moving Planes, in order to obtain some Liouville-type theorems and some Harnack-type inequalities in Rn, as well as in the Euclidian half space Rn +. Our study focuses on, mostly, in the article written by Yan Yan Li and Lei Zhan [32], as well as some references of the same article. We concentrate in studying som...
In this work, we study the semisimple group algebras FqCn of the finite abelian groups Cn over a finite field Fq and give conditions so that the number of its simple components is minimal; i.e. equal to the number of simple components of the rational group algebra of the same group. Under such conditions, we compute the set of primitive idempotents of FqCn and from there, we study the abelian codes as minimal i...
In this dissertation, a way to build dense STBCs with full diversity of maximal order in central simple algebra will be presented. We constructed a retriculated ST code with a nonzero determinant for a quad antenna MISO transmission. Also, we will present a general algorithm to test the limit of a given order, since by the use of a maximum order instead of just the algebraic integer ring, we can increase the ca...
We consider a dynamical one-dimensional nonlinear Von Kármán model for beams depending on the parameter " > 0 and we study their asymptotic behavior for t large, when " ! 0. Introducing appropriate damping mechanisms we show that the energy of solutions of the corresponding damped models decay exponential uniform with respect to the parameter ". In order for this to be true the damping mechanism has to have the...
In this work, we study existence, multiplicity and nonexistence of positive solutions, with respect to a positive parameter , for a class of quasilinear elliptic problems in bounded domains of RN, N 2, involving the N-laplacian operator and a nonlinearity f(t) which behaves as t, for some 2 (0;N1), when t ! 0+ and has critical exponential growth of Trudinger-Moser type at +1. In order to obtain the results, we ...
In this work, using variational methods and the sub and super solutions method we study the existence and multiplicity of positive solutions for some classes of problems involving the p-Laplacian operator in bounded domains of RN. Initially, we study a result of existence of positive solution for a problem where the nonlinearity does not satisfy the classical Ambrosetti-Rabinowitz condition, and then we study t...
This word is concerned with the study of bounded solutions of semilinear elliptic equations u − F0(u) = 0 in the whole space Rn, under the assumption that u is monotone in one direction, say, @u/@xn > 0 em Rn. The goal is to establish the one-dimensional character or symmetry of u, namely, that u only depends on one variable or, equivalently, that the level sets of u are hyperplanos. This type of symmetry...
This work is a study of linear systems from the perspective of linear algebra. We will use the concepts of matrix, vector, linear combination, linear dependence and independence, vector space, basis and dimension. We will also calculate the determinants and implications. Our aim is to present the rudiments of Linear Algebra as helper tool in solving linear systems and display its geometry. We want it to manufac...
In this work are introduced the concepts of involutive affine and projective varieties. Taking into account that every projective variety in P2n-1 has dimension greater than or equal to n-1 and that every hypersurface is involutive, we put our focus on the study of involutive curves in P3, noting that a curve in P3 contained in a plane will be involutive if and only if it is a union of lines passing through the...
In this paper, we study a version of the Multiplicative Ergodic Theorem of Oseledets for diffeomorphisms of class C1 on a compact Riemannian manifold of finite dimension which ensures the existence of Lyapunov exponents at almost every point with respect to a Borel probability measure invariant by diffeomorphism. In fact, we demonstrate the theorem in a more general version, namely in the context of linear cocy...
