Introduction Citation: Singh, L.; Bahuguna, D. The invariant manifold theory started with the work of Hadamard [1] in 1901 when Smooth Stable Manifold for Delay he constructed a manifold in the solution space of a differential equation with the property Differential Equations with Arbitrary that if the trajectory of a solution starts in the manifold, it will remain in the manifold for Growth Rate.

Later, Perron [2] and Lyapunov [3] developed another method to construct the invariant manifolds for autonomous differential equations.

With the assumption of nonuniform exponential dichotomy, they constructed the Lipschitz invariant manifold [11] and smooth invariant manifold [12] for nonautonomous differential equations. They also obtained the essential conditions for the existence of the nonuniform exponential dichotomy. The book [13] contains all the early works of Barreira and Valls. Barreira and Valls observed that the solution operators corresponding to a class of nonautonomous differential equations show dichotomic behavior and also they have growth or decay rates of ecr(t), for some function r(t). They named this notion as r- nonuniform exponential dichotomy. They showed in article [14] that the class of differential equations for which all the Lyapunov’s exponents are infinite, satisfies r-nonuniform exponential dichotomy for r(t) 6= t. Subsequently they proved the stable manifold theorem for ordinary differential equations assuming r-nonuniform exponential dichotomy in [15]. In the article [16], Pan proved the existence of Lipschitz stable invariant manifold for impulsive nonautonomous differential equations with the assumption of r-nonuniform exponential dichotomy. In this article, we consider a differential equation with the infinite delay given by, 0 x = Ax(t) + Lxt + f (t, xt), xs = f, (1) in a Banach space X. We assume that the solution operator associated with the correspond- ing linear delay differential equation 0 x = Ax(t) + Lxt, xs = f, (2) satisfies r-nonuniform exponential dichotomy and the nonlinear perturbation f (t, xt) is sufficiently small and smooth. With these assumptions, we prove the existence of a C1 stable invariant manifold for the delay differential Equation (1) following the approach of Perron and Lyapunov. We also showed the dependence of invariant manifolds on perturbations. Barreira and Valls used the r-nonuniform exponential dichotomy for the nonau- tonomous differential equations in [17] to construct the Lipschitz stable invariant manifold and in [18] to construct the smooth invariant manifold. Pan considered the impulsive differential equation in [16], to construct the Lipschitz stable invariant manifold assuming r-nonuniform exponential dichotomy. In the article [19], we considered the case of delay differential equations with nonuniform exponential dichotomy and constructed a Lipschitz invariant manifold. However, in this article, we are assuming a more general r-nonuniform exponential dichotomy for differential equation with infinite delay and we are constructing a C1 stable invariant manifold. In the later part of the article, we also show that a small change in perturbation gives rise to a small variation in the manifold. The paper is arranged in the following manner. Our setup and some preliminary results are given in Section2. In the next section, we provide a few examples of differential equations satisfying the r-nonuniform exponential dichotomy. Section3 contains the proof of the existence of the C1 stable invariant manifold, and in Section4, we prove the dependency of the manifold on perturbation. In the end, we present a few more examples satisfying the assumptions of our main theorem. 2. Preliminaries Let (X, k kX) be a Banach space. For any interval J ⊂ R := (−¥, ¥), we denote C(J, X) as a space of X-valued continuous function on J. For a function x : (−¥, a] ! X − − and t ≤ a, we define a function xt : R := (−¥, 0] ! X by xt(q) := x(t + q) for q 2 R . Furthermore, let Cg be a space of continuous functions defined by − gq Cg := y 2 C(R , X) : lim ky(q)kXe = 0 , q!−¥ Axioms 2021, 10, 105 3 of 14 for g > 0. We define a norm on the phase space Cg, gq kykCg := sup ky(q)kXe , y 2 Cg. q2R− Finally, we consider a linear delay differential equation in the Banach space X, 0 x = Ax(t) + Lxt, xs = f, + for (s, f) 2 R × Cg. The linear operator A : X ! X generates a strongly continuous compact semigroup fT(t, s)gt≥0 and L : Cg ! X is a bounded linear operator. Let the evolution operator corresponding to the above differential equation is denoted by V(t, s) and for f 2 Cg, V(t, s) is given by − [V(t, s)f](q) = xt(q, s, f, 0), q 2 R , t ≥ s. (3) One can easily see that the evolution operator defines a strongly continuous semigroup and for every t ≥ s ≥ r ≥ 0, it satisfies the semigroup property given by: V(t, s)V(s, r) = V(t, r), and V(t, t) = I. Here, I is an identity operator on Cg. For a continuous function p : R ! X, we consider the perturbed system of delay differential equation: 0 x = Ax(t) + Lxt + p(t), xs = f. (4) Let the solution of the above delay differential equation is denoted by (xt(s, f, p). Now, we give a representation of xt(s, f, p) depending on the evolution operator fV(t, s)gt≥s. Let us introduce a function Gn given by ( (nq + 1)I , −1 ≤ q ≤ 0, n( ) = X n G q −1 0, q < n , where n is any positive integer and IX is the identity operator on X. It is easy to verify that for y 2 X, −g n n n G y 2 Cg and kG ykCg ≤ maxf1, e gk y kX ≤ k y kX. (5) The next result by Hino and Naito [20] establishes the variation of constants formula for the delay differential Equation (4) in the phase space Cg. + Proposition 1. Let (s, f) 2 R × Cg be given. Then the segment xt(s, f, p) of solution x(·, s, f, p) of non-homogeneous functional differential Equation (4) satisfies the following relation in Cg: Z t n xt(s, f, p) = V(t, s)f + lim V(t, t) G p(t) dt, t ≥ s. (6) n!¥ s Definition 1. [r-nonuniform exponential dichotomy] Let r : [0, ¥) ! [0, ¥) be an increasing function with r(t) ! ¥ as t ! ¥. We say that the linear Equation (2) admits a r-nonuniform exponential dichotomy if for every t ≥ s ≥ 0, there exist projection maps P(t) : Cg ! Cg, constants a < 0 ≤ b, e ≥ 0 and K > 1, such that : (i) P(t)V(t, s) = V(t, s)P(s); (ii) VQ(t, s) := V(t, s) : Q(s)Cg !

Quadratics 10. Rationals 11. Radicals Simplifying Expressions An expression is a mathematical “phrase.” Expressions contain numbers and variables, but not an equal sign. An equation has an “equal” sign. For example: Expression: Equation: 5 + 3 5 + 3 = 8 x + 3 x + 3 = 8 (x + 4)(x – 2) (x + 4)(x – 2) = 10 x² + 5x + 6 x² + 5x + 6 = 0 x – 8 x – 8 > 3 When we simplify an expression, we work until there are as few terms as possible. This process makes the expression easier to use, (that’s why it’s called “simplify”). The first thing we want to do when simplifying an expression is to combine like terms. For example: There are many terms to look at! Let’s start with x². There Simplify: are no other terms with x² in them, so we move on. 10x x² + 10x – 6 – 5x + 4 and 5x are like terms, so we add their coefficients = x² + 5x – 6 + 4 together. 10 + (-5) = 5, so we write 5x. -6 and 4 are also = x² + 5x – 2 like terms, so we can combine them to get -2. Isn’t the simplified expression much nicer? Now you try: x² + 5x + 3x² + x³ - 5 + 3 [You should get x³ + 4x² + 5x – 2] Order of Operations PEMDAS – Please Excuse My Dear Aunt Sally, remember that from Algebra class?

  • Writing the Equation of a Line
    Name______________________________ Writing the Equation of a Line When you find the equation of a line it will be because you are trying to draw scientific information from it. In math, you write equations like y = 5x + 2 This equation is useless to us. You will never graph y vs. x. You will be graphing actual data like velocity vs. time. Your equation should therefore be written as v = (5 m/s2) t + 2 m/s. See the difference? You need to use proper variables and units in order to compare it to theory or make actual conclusions about physical principles. The second equation tells me that when the data collection began (t = 0), the velocity of the object was 2 m/s. It also tells me that the velocity was changing at 5 m/s every second (m/s/s = m/s2). Let’s practice this a little, shall we? Force vs. mass F (N) y = 6.4x + 0.3 m (kg) You’ve just done a lab to see how much force was necessary to get a mass moving along a rough surface. Excel spat out the graph above. You labeled each axis with the variable and units (well done!). You titled the graph starting with the variable on the y-axis (nice job!). Now we turn to the equation. First we replace x and y with the variables we actually graphed: F = 6.4m + 0.3 Then we add units to our slope and intercept. The slope is found by dividing the rise by the run so the units will be the units from the y-axis divided by the units from the x-axis.

The Cross-Newell phase diffusion equation, (|k|)2T =∇(B(|k|) kE), kE =∇2, and its regularization describes natural patterns and defects far from onset in large aspect ratio systems with rotational symmetry. In this paper we construct explicit solutions of the unregularized equation and suggest candidates for its weak solutions. We confirm these ideas by examining a fourth-order regularized equation in the limit of infinite aspect ratio. The stationary solutions of this equation include the minimizers of a free energy, and we show these minimizers are remarkably well-approximated by a second-order “self-dual” equation. Moreover, the self-dual solutions give upper bounds for the free energy which imply the existence of weak limits for the asymptotic minimizers. In certain cases, some recent results of Jin and Kohn [28] combined with these upper bounds enable us to demonstrate that the energy of the asymptotic minimizers converges to that of the self-dual solutions in a viscosity limit. 1. Introduction The mathematical models discussed in this paper are motivated by physical systems, far from equilibrium, which spontaneously form patterns.

  • Numerical Algebraic Geometry and Algebraic Kinematics
    Numerical Algebraic Geometry and Algebraic Kinematics Charles W. Wampler∗ Andrew J. Sommese† January 14, 2011 Abstract In this article, the basic constructs of algebraic kinematics (links, joints, and mechanism spaces) are introduced. This provides a common schema for many kinds of problems that are of interest in kinematic studies. Once the problems are cast in this algebraic framework, they can be attacked by tools from algebraic geometry. In particular, we review the techniques of numerical algebraic geometry, which are primarily based on homotopy methods. We include a review of the main developments of recent years and outline some of the frontiers where further research is occurring. While numerical algebraic geometry applies broadly to any system of polynomial equations, algebraic kinematics provides a body of interesting examples for testing algorithms and for inspiring new avenues of work.

  • Chapter 1: Analytic Geometry
    1 Analytic Geometry Much of the mathematics in this chapter will be review for you. However, the examples will be oriented toward applications and so will take some thought. In the (x,y) coordinate system we normally write the x-axis horizontally, with positive numbers to the right of the origin, and the y-axis vertically, with positive numbers above the origin. That is, unless stated otherwise, we take “rightward” to be the positive x- direction and “upward” to be the positive y-direction. In a purely mathematical situation, we normally choose the same scale for the x- and y-axes. For example, the line joining the origin to the point (a,a) makes an angle of 45◦ with the x-axis (and also with the y-axis). In applications, often letters other than x and y are used, and often different scales are chosen in the horizontal and vertical directions. For example, suppose you drop something from a window, and you want to study how its height above the ground changes from second to second. It is natural to let the letter t denote the time (the number of seconds since the object was released) and to let the letter h denote the height. For each t (say, at one-second intervals) you have a corresponding height h. This information can be tabulated, and then plotted on the (t, h) coordinate plane, as shown in figure 1.0.1. We use the word “quadrant” for each of the four regions into which the plane is divided by the axes: the first quadrant is where points have both coordinates positive, or the “northeast” portion of the plot, and the second, third, and fourth quadrants are counted off counterclockwise, so the second quadrant is the northwest, the third is the southwest, and the fourth is the southeast.

    INTRODUCTION TO ANALYTIC GEOMETRY BY PEECEY R SMITH, PH.D. N PROFESSOR OF MATHEMATICS IN THE SHEFFIELD SCIENTIFIC SCHOOL YALE UNIVERSITY AND AKTHUB SULLIVAN GALE, PH.D. ASSISTANT PROFESSOR OF MATHEMATICS IN THE UNIVERSITY OF ROCHESTER GINN & COMPANY BOSTON NEW YORK CHICAGO LONDON COPYRIGHT, 1904, 1905, BY ARTHUR SULLIVAN GALE ALL BIGHTS RESERVED 65.8 GINN & COMPANY PRO- PRIETORS BOSTON U.S.A. PEE FACE In preparing this volume the authors have endeavored to write a drill book for beginners which presents, in a manner conform- ing with modern ideas, the fundamental concepts of the subject. The subject-matter is slightly more than the minimum required for the calculus, but only as much more as is necessary to permit of some choice on the part of the teacher. It is believed that the text is complete for students finishing their study of mathematics with a course in Analytic Geometry. The authors have intentionally avoided giving the book the form of a treatise on conic sections. Conic sections naturally appear, but chiefly as illustrative of general analytic methods. Attention is called to the method of treatment. The subject is developed after the Euclidean method of definition and theorem, without, however, adhering to formal presentation. The advan- tage is obvious, for the student is made sure of the exact nature of each acquisition. Again, each method is summarized in a rule stated in consecutive steps. This is a gain in clearness. Many illustrative examples are worked out in the text. Emphasis has everywhere been put upon the analytic side, that is, the student is taught to start from the equation.

The purpose of the standardized reference ET equation and calculation procedures is to bring commonality to the calculation of reference ET and to provide a standardized basis for determining or transferring crop coefficients for agricultural and landscape use. The basis of the standardized reference ET equation is the ASCE Penman-Monteith (ASCE-PM) method of ASCE Manual 70. For the standardization, the ASCE-PM method is applied for two types of reference surfaces representing clipped grass (a short, smooth crop) and alfalfa (a taller, rougher agricultural crop), and the equation is simplified to a reduced form of the ASCE–PM.

  • The Roots of Any Polynomial Equation
    The roots of any polynomial equation G.A.Uytdewilligen, Bergen op Zoomstraat 76, 5652 KE Eindhoven. [email protected] Abstract We provide a method for solving the roots of the general polynomial equation n n−1 a ⋅x + a ⋅x + . + a ⋅x + s 0 n n−1 1 (1) To do so, we express x as a powerseries of s, and calculate the first n-1 coefficients. We turn the polynomial equation into a differential equation that has the roots as solutions. Then we express the powerseries’ coefficients in the first n-1 coefficients. Then the variable s is set to a0. A free parameter is added to make the series convergent. © 2004 G.A.Uytdewilligen. All rights reserved. Keywords: Algebraic equation The method The method is based on [1]. Let’s take the first n-1 derivatives of (1) to s. Equate these derivatives to zero. di Then find x ( s ) in terms of x(s) for i from 1 to n-1. Now make a new differential equation dsi n 1 n 2 d − d − m1⋅ x(s) + m2⋅ x(s) + . + m ⋅x(s) + m 0 n−1 n−2 n n+1 ds ds (2) di and fill in our x ( s ) in (2). Multiply by the denominator of the expression. Now we have a dsi polynomial in x(s) of degree higher then n. Using (1) as property, we simplify this polynomial to the degree of n. Set it equal to (1) and solve m1 .. mn+1 in terms of s and a1 .. an Substituting these in (2) gives a differential equation that has the zeros of (1) among its solutions.
