helmholtz zero in R^3

If $u$ is a solution to the equation $\triangle u +k^2 u=0$ in a 3D domain $\Omega$, then for any $x\in\Omega$ and any $r>0$ such that $\{y\in\mathbb R^3:\ |x-y|\leq r \}\subset\Omega$, we have $$u(x …

Existence/Uniqueness of solutions to quasi-Lipschitz ODEs

Yes. This follows from the classical uniqueness theorem due to Osgood (the original paper appeared in 1898). Osgood's Criterion. Let $\omega(t,u)=\phi(t)\psi(u)$ where $\phi(t)\geq 0$ is continuous o …

Why are differential forms called closed and exact?

According to Hans Samelson's historical note "Differential Forms, the Early Days", both notions were introduced in Les Méthodes nouvelles de la Mécanique Céleste by Poincaré (vol. 3, Gauthier-Villar …

On the non-rigorous calculations of the trajectories in the moon landings

The existence of the Arenstorf Orbits was discovered in 1963 on the basis of numerical computations. The Arenstorf orbits appear as periodic solutions to the equations for the plane restricted three b …

Newton equations, second order equation and (im)possible motions

Newton's second law implies basically that the evolution of a mechanical system is completely determined as soon as the particles' initial positions $x(0)$ and velocities $\dot x(0)$ are specified. S …

Where was/is Compensated Compactness used?

Compensated compactness helps when one needs to find the limit of $u_n \cdot v_n$, where the sequences of vector fields $u_n$ and $v_n$ converge weakly in $L^2$: $u_n\rightharpoonup u$, $v_n\righth …
