Especially, the isometric mapping property of Hsub(v) which holds on L²(IRsub(+),rdr) is extended to spaces of arbitrary Sobolev order. The novelty in the approach consists in using techniques developed by B.-W. Schulze and others to treat the half-line Rsub(+) as a manifold with a conical singularity at r = 0. This is achieved by pointing out a connection between the Hankel transformation and the Mellin transformation.The procedure proposed leads at the same time to a short proof of the Hankel inversion formula. An application to the existence and higher regularity of solutions, including their asymptotics, to the 1-1-dimensional edge-degenerated wave equation is given.}, language = {en} } @unpublished{WittNeimanKurths1997, author = {Witt, Annette and Neiman, Alexander and Kurths, J{\"u}rgen}, title = {Characterizing the dynamics of stochastic bistable systems by measures of complexity}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:kobv:517-opus-14556}, year = {1997}, abstract = {The dynamics of noisy bistable systems is analyzed by means of Lyapunov exponents and measures of complexity. We consider both the classical Kramers problem with additive white noise and the case when the barrier fluctuates due to additional external colored noise. In case of additive noise we calculate the Lyapunov exponents and all measures of complexity analytically as functions of the noise intensity resp. the mean escape time. For the problem of fluctuating barrier the usual description of the dynamics with the mean escape time is not sufficient. The application of the concept of measures of complexity allows to describe the structures of motion in more detail. Most complexity measures sign the value of correlation time at which the phenomenon of resonant activation occurs with an extremum.}, language = {en} } @unpublished{BoeckmannBieleNeuberetal.1997, author = {B{\"o}ckmann, Christine and Biele, Jens and Neuber, Roland and Niebsch, Jenny}, title = {Retrieval of multimodal aerosol size distribution by inversion of multiwavelength data}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:kobv:517-opus-14360}, year = {1997}, abstract = {The ill-posed problem of aerosol size distribution determination from a small number of backscatter and extinction measurements was solved successfully with a mollifier method which is advantageous since the ill-posed part is performed on exactly given quantities, the points r where n(r) is evaluated may be freely selected.

The study has been motivated by recent experiments with thin layers of electrolytes showing, among other things, the formation of large-scale spatial patterns. As the strength of the forcing or the Reynolds number is raised the original stationary vortex array becomes unstable and a complex sequence of bifurcations is observed. The bifurcations lead to several periodic branches, torus and chaotic solutions, and other stationary solutions. Most remarkable is the appearance of solutions characterized by structures on spatial scales large compared to the scale of the forcing. We also characterize the different dynamic regimes by means of tracers injected into the fluid. Stretching rates and Hausdorff dimensions of convected line elements are calculated to quantify the mixing process. It turns out that for time-periodic velocity fields the mixing can be very effective.}, language = {en} } @unpublished{ZienickeSeehaferFeudel1997, author = {Zienicke, Egbert and Seehafer, Norbert and Feudel, Fred}, title = {Bifurcations in two-dimensional Rayleigh-B{\´e}nard convection}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:kobv:517-opus-14534}, year = {1997}, abstract = {Two-dimensional bouyancy-driven convection in a horizontal fluid layer with stress-free boundary conditions at top and bottom and periodic boundary conditions in the horizontal direction is investigated by means of numerical simulation and bifurcation-analysis techniques.
