A SHOOTING METHOD FOR THE SWIFT-HOHENBERG EQUATION

Stationary even single bump periodic solutions of the Swift Hohenberg equation are analyzed. The coefficient k in the equation is found to be a critical parameter. It is proved if 0<k<1 , there exist periodic solutions having the same energy as the constant solution u=0; if 1<k<32 , there exist periodic solutions having the same energy as the stable states u=±k-1. The proof of the above results is based on a shooting technique, together with a linearization method and a scaling argument.

w-DENSITY AND w-BALANCED PROPERTY OF WEIGHTED GRAPHS

The notion of w-density for the graphs with positive weights on vertices and nonnegative weights on edges is introduced.A weighted graph is called w-balanced if its w-density is no less than the w-density of any subgraph of it.In this paper,a good characterization of w-balanced weighted graphs is given.Applying this characterization,many large w-balanced weighted graphs are formed by combining smaller ones.In the case where a graph is not w-balanced,a polynomial-time algorithm to find a subgraph of maximum w-density is proposed.It is shown that the w-density theory is closely related to the study of SEW(G,w) games.
