“…This phenomenon occurs when a thin fiber is heated in a highly resonant, single mode cavity. The spot forms along the axis of the sample and begins to propagate outward elevating the temperature of the ceramic sample [10,12,13]. In most instances, the spot eventually becomes stationary, thus leaving a localized region of the fiber at a dramatically higher temperature than the rest.…”

ABSTRACT. The stability of non-homogeneous, steady state solutions of a scalar, non-local reaction-diffusion equation is considered. Sufficient conditions are provided that guarantee that the relevant linear operator possesses a countable infinity of discrete eigenvalues. These eigenvalues are shown to interlace the eigenvalues of a related local Sturm-Liouville operator. An oscillation theorem for the corresponding non-local eigenfunctions also is established. These results are applied to assess the stability of n-pulse solutions of a model which describes hot spot formation in a microwave heated ceramic fiber. Each n-pulse solution contains n spatially localized regions of elevated temperature. It is shown that the 1-pulse solution is metastable in that the principal eigenvalue of the corresponding linear operator is exponentially small. For n > 2, all solutions are unstable with corresponding principal eigenvalues bounded away from the origin.

Throughout the world, older women are generally poorer than men. In an era when Social Security programs are increasingly under challenge by advocates of savings and pension schemes administered by the private sector, there is a need to assess the relative advantages of different public/private approaches for dealing with older women's financial needs. What would happen to women if more of the burden were shifted from the public sector to the private sector? This article presents an overview of women's vulnerability in old age and examines the role of public and private pensions in meeting their income needs. It then discusses approaches to Social Security privatization and the special issues for women raised by these issues. Finally, the issues and approaches discussed are illustrated by developments in the United States and Australia.
