    The eigenfrequencies associated to a damped wave equation, are known to belong to a band parallel to the real axis. We establish Weyl asymptotics for the distribution of the real parts of the eigenfrequencies, we show that up to a set of density 0, the eigenfrequencies are confined to a band determined by the Birkhoff limits of the damping coefficient. We also show that certain averages of the imaginary parts converge to the average of the damping coefficient.

    There are many nonlinear parabolic equations whose solutions develop singularity in finite time, say T. In many cases, a certain norm of the solution tends to infinity as time t approaches T. Such a phenomenon is called blow-up, and T is called the blow-up time. This paper is concerned with approximation of blow-up phenomena in nonlinear parabolic equations. For numerical computations or for other reasons, we often have to deal with approximate equations. But it is usually not at all clear if such wild phenomena as blow-up can be well reflected in the approximate equations. In this paper we present rather simple but general sufficient conditions which guarantee that the blow-up time for the original equation is well approximated by that for approximate equations. We will then apply our result to various examples.

    We first define a Rohlin property for one-parameter automorphism groups of the hyperfinite type II1 factor as an analogue of Kishimoto's definition for one-parameter automorphism groups of unital simple C*-algebras.
    Secondly we prove equivalence between the Rohlin property and the cohomology vanishing in an appropriate central sequence algebra, which is a variation of Kishimoto's theorem in C*-algebra theory.
