In recent papers by Brackx, Delanghe and Sommen, some fundamental higher dimensional distributions have been reconsidered in the framework of Clifford analysis, eventually leading to the introduction of four broad classes of new distributions in Euclidean space. In the current paper we continue the in-depth study of these distributions, more specifically the study of their behaviour in frequency space, thus extending classical results of harmonic analysis.

This paper is concerned with a class of semilinear hyperbolic systems in odd space dimensions. Our main aim is to prove the existence of a small amplitude solution which is asymptotic to the free solution as t → −∞ in the energy norm, and to show it has a free profile as t → +∞. Our approach is based on the work of [11]. Namely we use a weighted L ^∞ norm to get suitable a priori estimates. This can be done by restricting our attention to radially symmetric solutions. Corresponding initial value problem is also considered in an analogous framework. Besides, we give an extended result of [14] for three space dimensional case in Section 5, which is prepared independently of the other parts of the paper.

Derivatives of discontinuities being Dirac singularities, it is usually not possible to multiply them by discontinuous functions. However in the context of conservation laws we have shown in a recent paper that it can be done. We shall make use of this new framework to revisit some upwind methods, mostly characteristic schemes, and show that they can be corrected to be conservative and to work on difficult problems such as Euler’s equations for fluids. Numerous numerical results are given.

We improve estimates for the distribution of primitive λ-roots of a composite modulus q yielding an asymptotic formula for the number of primitive λ-roots in any interval I of length ∣I∣ ≫ q ^1/2+∈. Similar results are obtained for the distribution of ordered pairs (x, x ⁻¹) with x a primitive λ-root, and for the number of primitive λ-roots satisfying inequalities such as |x − x ⁻¹| ≤ B.

Under the Lipschitz assumption and square integrable assumption on g, the author proves that Jensen’s inequality holds for backward stochastic differential equations with generator g if and only if g is independent of y, g(t, 0) ≡ 0 and g is super homogeneous with respect to z. This result generalizes the known results on Jensen’s inequality for g- expectation in [4, 7–9].

In this paper, we prove local and global existence of classical solutions for a system of equations concerning an incompressible viscoelastic fluid of Oldroyd-B type via the incompressible limit when the initial data are sufficiently small.

By using the dimension-free Harnack inequality, the coupling method, and Bakry-Emery’s argument, some explicit lower bounds are presented for the constant of the Beckner type inequality on compact manifolds. As applications, the Beckner inequality and the transportation cost inequality are established for a class of continuous spin systems. In particular, some results in [1, 2] are generalized.

We analyze the 2 × 2 nonhomogeneous relativistic Euler equations for perfect fluids in special relativity. We impose appropriate conditions on the lower order source terms and establish the existence of global entropy solutions of the Cauchy problem under these conditions.
