ABSTRACT
The aim of this work is to analyze the concentration set of the stationary weak solutions to the Landau-Lifshitz system of the ferromagnetic spin chain from Rm into the unit sphere Sï¿½ of Rï¿½. Suppose that uk ? u weakly in W1,2(Rm ï¿½ R+, Sï¿½) and that St is the concentration set for fixed t. In the present paper we first prove that St is a Hm-2-rectifiable set for almost all t ? R+. And then we verify that St moves by the quasi-mean curvature under some assumptions, which is a new codimension 2 curvature flow. Finally we analyze the behavior of the solution at the singular point and get the blow up formulas. The main barrier to Landau-Lifshtiz system is that there is no energy monotonicity inequality. After the seminal work to on the study of the concentration set of minimizing energy harmonic maps by Leon Simon, there are several papers dealing with the stationary harmonic maps and its heat flows, and so on. This investigation is inspired by the study on the heat flow of harmonic maps and it largely depends on our result of the partial regularity.

In this paper, we propose an algorithm for solving nonlinear monotone equations by combining the limited memory BFGS method (L-BFGS) with a projection method. We show that the method is globally convergent if the equation involves a Lipschitz continuous monotone function. We also present some...

That outliers or influential observations can affect the results in a regression is well-known. But it is not clear how much influence a specific observation can have on other statistics. In time series, especially in predictive situations, the effect of additional observations is of singular...

This note introduces a new monotonicity property for sequencing situations. A sequencing rule is called drop out monotonic if no player will be worse off whenever one of the players decides to drop out of the queue before processing starts. This intuitively appealing property turns out to be...
