 Mathematics , 2014, Abstract: For $m\ge 2$, let $\pi$ be an irreducible cuspidal automorphic representation of $GL_m(\mathbb{A}_{\mathbb{Q}})$ with unitary central character. Let $a_\pi(n)$ be the $n^{th}$ coefficient of the $L$-function attached to $\pi$. Goldfeld and Sengupta have recently obtained a bound for $\sum_{n\le x} a_\pi(n)$ as $x \rightarrow \infty$. For $m\ge 3$ and $\pi$ not a symmetric power of a $GL_2(\mathbb{A}_{\mathbb{Q}})$-cuspidal automorphic representation with not all finite primes unramified for $\pi$, their bound is better than all previous bounds. The goal of this paper is to further improve the bound of Goldfeld and Sengupta and apply it to prove a quantitative result for the number of sign changes of the coefficients of certain automorphic $L$-functions, provided the coefficients are real numbers.
 Mathematics , 2007, DOI: 10.1007/s11040-007-9015-6 Abstract: We consider the Laplacian in a curved two-dimensional strip of constant width squeezed between two curves, subject to Dirichlet boundary conditions on one of the curves and variable Robin boundary conditions on the other. We prove that, for certain types of Robin boundary conditions, the spectral threshold of the Laplacian is estimated from below by the lowest eigenvalue of the Laplacian in a Dirichlet-Robin annulus determined by the geometry of the strip. Moreover, we show that an appropriate combination of the geometric setting and boundary conditions leads to a Hardy-type inequality in infinite strips. As an application, we derive certain stability of the spectrum for the Laplacian in Dirichlet-Neumann strips along a class of curves of sign-changing curvature, improving in this way an initial result of Dittrich and Kriz.
 Abstract and Applied Analysis , 2012, DOI: 10.1155/2012/918271 Abstract: We consider a nonlinear Dirichlet elliptic equation driven by a nonhomogeneous differential operator and with a Carathéodory reaction (,), whose primitive (,) is -superlinear near ±∞, but need not satisfy the usual in such cases, the Ambrosetti-Rabinowitz condition. Using a combination of variational methods with the Morse theory (critical groups), we show that the problem has at least three nontrivial smooth solutions. Our result unifies the study of “superlinear” equations monitored by some differential operators of interest like the -Laplacian, the (,)-Laplacian, and the -generalized mean curvature operator.
 Mathematics , 2013, Abstract: We consider a nonlinear elliptic Dirichlet equation driven by a nonlinear nonhomogeneous differential operator involving a Carath\'{e}odory reaction which is $(p-1)$-superlinear but does not satisfy the Ambrosetti-Rabinowitz condition. First we prove a three-solutions-theorem extending an earlier classical result of Wang (Ann. Inst. H. Poincar\'e Anal. Non Lin\'eaire 8 (1991), no. 1, 43--57). Subsequently, by imposing additional conditions on the reaction $f(x,\cdot)$, we produce two more nontrivial constant sign solutions and a nodal solution for a total of five nontrivial solutions. In the special case of $(p,2)$-equations we prove the existence of a second nodal solution for a total of six nontrivial solutions given with complete sign information. Finally, we study a nonlinear eigenvalue problem and we show that the problem has at least two nontrivial positive solutions for all parameters $\lambda>0$ sufficiently small where one solution vanishes in the Sobolev norm as $\lambda \to 0^+$ and the other one blows up (again in the Sobolev norm) as $\lambda \to 0^+$.
 Mathematics , 2010, Abstract: The Rankin convolution type Dirichlet series $D_{F,G}(s)$ of Siegel modular forms $F$ and $G$ of degree two, which was introduced by Kohnen and the second author, is computed numerically for various $F$ and $G$. In particular, we prove that the series $D_{F,G}(s)$, which share the same functional equation and analytic behavior with the spinor $L$-functions of eigenforms of the same weight are not linear combinations of those. In order to conduct these experiments a numerical method to compute the Petersson scalar products of Jacobi Forms is developed and discussed in detail.
 Mathematics , 2010, Abstract: In specific types of partially rectangular billiards we estimate the mass of an eigenfunction of energy $E$ in the region outside the rectangular set in the high-energy limit. We use the adiabatic ansatz to compare the Dirichlet energy form with a second quadratic form for which separation of variables applies. This allows us to use sharp one-dimensional control estimates and to derive the bound assuming that $E$ is not resonating with the Dirichlet spectrum of the rectangular part.
 Mathematics , 2013, Abstract: The paper is to study the asymptotic dynamics in nonmonotone comparable almost periodic reaction-diffusion system with Dirichlet boundary condition, which is comparable with uniformly stable strongly order-preserving system. By appealing to the theory of skew-product semiflows, we obtain the asymptotic almost periodicity of uniformly stable solutions to the comparable reaction-diffusion system.
 Sonia Fliss Mathematics , 2012, Abstract: This works deals with one dimensional infinite perturbation - namely line defects - in periodic media. In optics, such defects are created to construct an (open) waveguide that concentrates light. The existence and the computation of the eigenmodes is a crucial issue. This is related to a self-adjoint eigenvalue problem associated to a PDE in an unbounded domain (in the directions orthogonal to the line defect), which makes both the analysis and the computations more complex. Using a Dirichlet-to-Neumann (DtN) approach, we show that this problem is equivalent to one set on a small neighborhood of the defect. On contrary to existing methods, this one is exact but there is a price to be paid : the reduction of the problem leads to a nonlinear eigenvalue problem of a fixed point nature.
 Physics , 2014, Abstract: For diffusion-reaction equations employing a splitting procedure is attractive as it reduces the computational demand and facilitates a parallel implementation. Moreover, it opens up the possibility to construct second-order integrators that preserve positivity. However, for boundary conditions that are neither periodic nor of homogeneous Dirichlet type order reduction limits its usefulness. In the situation described the Strang splitting procedure is not more accurate than Lie splitting. In this paper, we propose a splitting procedure that, while retaining all the favorable properties of the original method, does not suffer from order reduction. We demonstrate our results by conducting numerical simulations in one and two space dimensions with inhomogeneous and time dependent Dirichlet boundary conditions. In addition, a mathematical rigorous convergence analysis is conducted that confirms the results observed in the numerical simulations.
 Julian Edward Physics , 2001, Abstract: The resonances for the Dirichlet and Neumann Laplacian are studied on compactly perturbed waveguides. An upper bound on the number of resonances near the physical plane is proven. In the absence of resonances, an upper bound is proven for the localised resolvent. This is then used to prove that the existence of a quasimode whose asymptotics is bounded away from the thresholds implies the existence of resonances converging to the real axis.
