We study the existence of bounded asymptotic mild solutions to evolution equations of the form $u'(t)=Au(t)+f(t), t\ge 0$ in a Banach space $\X$, where $A$ generates an (analytic) $C_0$-semigroup and $f$ is bounded. We find spectral conditions on $A$ and $f$ for the existence and uniqueness of asymptotic mild solutions with the same "profile" as that of $f$. In the resonance case, a sufficient condition of Massera type theorem is found for the existence of bounded solutions with the same profile as $f$. The obtained results are stated in terms of spectral properties of $A$ and $f$, and they are analogs of classical results of Katznelson-Tzafriri and Massera for the evolution equations on the half line. Applications from PDE are given.

This paper is concerned with traveling waves to an diffusive SIR model with delay placed in the diffusion terms as well as nonlinear incidence rate with delay. Using a cross iteration scheme and partial monotone conditions it will be shown that the existence of quasi upper and lower solutions is a sufficient condition for the existence of a traveling wave front. This will be shown via Schauder's fixed point theorem. Given an appropriate basic reproduction number the traveling wave front will flow from a disease-free steady state to endemic steady state. The construction of quasi upper and lower solutions will be carried out for a specific model., Comment: arXiv admin note: text overlap with arXiv:2303.11145

In this paper we consider traveling waves for a diffusive Nicholson Blowflies Equation with different discrete time delays in the diffusion term and birth function. We construct quasi upper and lower solutions via the monotone iteration method. This also allows for the construction of C2 upper and lower solutions, and then traveling wave solutions. We then provide numerical results for the kernel for the iteration., Comment: 13 pages, 3 figures

This paper is concerned with the existence of traveling wave solutions for diffusive two-species Lotka-Volterra systems with delay in both the reaction and diffusion terms without monotonicity. We extend the partial or cross monotone iteration method to systems that satisfy the partial quasi-monotone condition via construction appropriate upper and lower solutions. This is done by using Schauder's fixed point theorem.

We study the existence of traveling waves of reaction-diffusion systems with delays in both diffusion and reaction terms of the form $\partial u(x,t)/\partial t = \Delta u(x,t-\tau_1)+f(u(x,t),u(x,t-\tau_2))$, where $\tau_1,\tau_2$ are positive constants. We extend the monotone iteration method to systems that satisfy typical monotone conditions by thoroughly studying the sign of the Green function associated with a linear functional differential equation. Namely, we show that for small positive $r$ the functional equation $x''(t)-ax'(t+r)-bx(t+r)=f(t)$, where $a\not=0, b>0$ has a unique bounded solution for each given bounded and continuous $f(t)$. Moreover, if $r>0$ is sufficiently small, $f(t)\ge 0$ for $t\in {\mathbb R}$, then the unique bounded solution $x_f(t)\le 0$ for all $t\in {\mathbb R}$. In the framework of the monotone iteration method that is developed based on this result, upper and lower solutions are found for Fisher-KPP and Belousov-Zhabotinski equations to show that traveling waves exist for these equations when delays are small in both diffusion and reaction terms. The obtained results appear to be new., Comment: 36 pages

Geometric properties of lattice quantum gravity in two dimensions are studied numerically via Monte Carlo on Euclidean Dynamical Triangulations. A new computational method is proposed to simulate gravity coupled with fermions, which allows the study of interacting theories on a lattice, such as non-Riemannian gravity models. This was tested on Majorana spinors, where we obtained a Hausdorff dimension dW = 4.22 +/- 0.03, consistent with the bounds from the literature 4.19 < dH < 4.21.

A stress-energy tensor for linear gravity adapted to the harmonic gauge was recently proposed by Butcher, Hobson and Lasenby. By removing gauge constraints and imposing full metrical GR, we find a natural generalisation to the pseudotensor of Einstein. M{\o}ller's pseudotensor is an alternative to that of Einstein formulated using tetrads. We obtain the pseudotensor of M{\o}ller for gauge theory gravity (GTG) using a variational approach, identifying a potentially interesting recipe for constructing conserved currents in that theory. We show that in static, spherical spacetimes with a central gravitational mass M{\o}ller's pseudotensor describes gravitational stress-energy as if the gravitational potential were a scalar (i.e. Klein-Gordon) field coupled to a gravitational mass density on the Minkowski background. The old Newtonian formula successfully describes the potential of even strong fields in this picture. The Newtonian limit of this effect was previously observed in the tensor of Butcher; we recover a local virial theorem in this limit. We demonstrate using the `Schwarzschild star' solution for an incompressible perfect fluid ball., Comment: Replaced with published version. 19 pages, 2 figures

We elucidate the dynamics of a thin spherical material shell with a tangential pressure, using a new approach. This is both simpler than the traditional method of extrinsic curvature junction conditions (which we also employ), and suggests an expression for a `gravitational potential energy' of the shell. Such a shell, if slowly spinning, can rotationally drag the inertial frames within it through a finite angle as it collapses and rebounds from a minimum radius. Rebounding `spherical' and cylindrical pulses of rotating gravitational waves were studied previously. Here we calculate their angular momentum and show that their rotational frame dragging is in agreement with that of the rotating spherical shell and a rotating cylindrical dust shell. This shows that Machian effects occur equally for material and analogous `immaterial' sources., Comment: 16 pages, 3 figures

Solutions of the linearized Einstein equations are found that describe a transversely confined beam of circularly polarized gravitational waves on a Minkowski backdrop. By evaluating the cycle-averaged stress-energy-momentum pseudotensor of Landau & Lifshitz it is found that the angular momentum density is concentrated in the 'skin' at the edge of the beam where the intensity falls, and that the ratio of angular momentum to energy per unit length of the beam is $2/\omega$, where $\omega$ is the wave frequency, as expected for a beam of spin-$2$ gravitons. For sharply-defined, uniform, axisymmetric beams, the induced background metric is shown to produce the gravomagnetic field and frame-dragging effects of a gravitational solenoid, whilst the angular momentum current additionally twists the contained space helically., Comment: 12 pages, 1 figure; extended Section 3 and corrected typos, abstract and introduction edited to reflect this, added grant number acknowledgement
