    Stratifying modular representations of finite groups
    (Oberwolfach : Mathematisches Forschungsinstitut Oberwolfach, 2008) Benson, Dave; Iyengar, Srikanth B.; Krause, Henning
    We classify localising subcategories of the stable module category of a finite group that are closed under tensor product with simple (or, equivalently all) modules. One application is a proof of the telescope conjecture in this context. Others include new proofs of the tensor product theorem and of the classification of thick subcategories of the finitely generated modules which avoid the use of cyclic shifted subgroups. Along the way we establish similar classifications for differential graded modules over graded polynomial rings, and over graded exterior algebras.

    Simulations of 3D/4D precipitation processes in a turbulent flow field
    (Berlin : Weierstraß-Institut für Angewandte Analysis und Stochastik, 2009) John, Volker; Roland, Michael
    Precipitation processes are modeled by population balance systems. A very expensive part of the simulation of population balance systems is the solution of the equation for the particle size distribution (PSD) since this equation is defined in a higher dimensional domain than the other equations in the system. This paper studies different approaches for the solution of this equation: two finite difference upwind schemes and a linear finite element flux--corrected transport method. It is shown that the different schemes lead to qualitatively different solutions for an output of interest.

    Plasma induced pulse breaking in filamentary self-compression
    (Berlin : Weierstraß-Institut für Angewandte Analysis und Stochastik, 2009) Brée, Carsten; Demircan, Ayhan; Skupin, Stefan; Berg´e, Luc; Steinmeyer, Günter
    A plasma induced temporal break-up in filamentary propagation has recently been identified as one of the key events in the temporal self-compression of femtosecond laser pulses. An analysis of the Nonlinear Schrödinger Equation coupled to a noninstantaneous plasma response yields a set of stationary states. This analysis clearly indicates that the emergence of double-hump, characteristically asymmetric temporal on-axis intensity profiles in regimes where plasma defocusing saturates the optical collapse caused by Kerr self-focusing is an inherent property of the underlying dynamical model.

    Linear stability analysis of ta sharp-interface model for dewetting thin films
    (Berlin : Weierstraß-Institut für Angewandte Analysis und Stochastik, 2007) King, John R.; Münch, Andreas; Wagner, Barbara
    The topic of this study concerns the stability of the three-phase contact-line of a dewetting thin liquid film on a hydrophobised substrate driven by van der Waals forces. The role of slippage in the emerging instability at the three-phase contact-line is studied by deriving a sharp-interface model for the dewetting thin film via matched asymptotic expansions. This allows for a derivation of travelling waves and their linear stability via eigenmode analysis. In contrast to the dispersion relations typically encountered for the finger-instabilty, where the dependence of the growth rate on the wave number is quadratic, here it is linear. Using the separation of time scales of the slowly growing rim of the dewetting film and time scale on which the contact line destabilises, the sharp-interface results are compared to earlier results for the full lubrication model and good agreement for the most unstable modes is obtained.

    Maximal convergence theorems for functions of squared modulus holomorphic type and various applications
    (Berlin : Weierstraß-Institut für Angewandte Analysis und Stochastik, 2006) Kraus, Christiane
    In this paper we extend the theory of maximal convergence introduced by Walsh to functions of squared modulus holomorphic type. We introduce in accordance to the well-known complex maximal convergence number for holomorphic functions a real maximal convergence number for functions of squared modulus holomorphic type and prove several maximal convergence theorems. We achieve that the real maximal convergence number for F is always greater or equal than the complex maximal convergence number for g and equality occurs if L is a closed disk in R^2. Among other various applications of the resulting approximation estimates we show that for functions F of squared holomorphic type which have no zeros in a closed disk B_r the relation limsupntoinftysqrt[n]En(Br,F)=limsupntoinftysqrt[n]En(partialBr,F) is valid, where E_n is the polynomial approximation error.

    Mathematical results on existence for viscoelastodynamic problems with unilateral constraints
    (Berlin : Weierstraß-Institut für Angewandte Analysis und Stochastik, 2007) Petrov, Adrien; Schatzman, M.
    We study a damped wave equation and the evolution of a Kelvin-Voigt material, both problems have unilateral boundary conditions. Under appropriate regularity assumptions on the initial data, both problems possess a weak solution which is obtained as the limit of a sequence of penalized problems; the functional properties of all the traces are precisely identified through Fourier analysis, and this enables us to infer the existence of a strong solution.

    Fast, stable and accurate method for the Black-Scholes equation of American options
    (Berlin : Weierstraß-Institut für Angewandte Analysis und Stochastik, 2008) Ehrhardt, Matthias; Mickens, Ronald E.
    We propose a simple model for the behaviour of long-time investors on stock markets, consisting of three particles, which represent the current price of the stock, and the opinion of the buyers, or sellers resp., about the right trading price. As time evolves both groups of traders update their opinions with respect to the current price. The update speed is controled by a parameter $\gamma$, the price process is described by a geometric Brownian motion. The stability of the market is governed by the difference of the buyers' opinion and the sellers' opinion. We prove that the distance
