Interactions of delta shock waves for the relativistic Chaplygin Euler equations with split delta functions

In this article, we are concerned with the interactions of delta shock waves with contact discontinuities for the relativistic Euler equations for Chaplygin gas by using split delta functions method. The solutions are obtained constructively and globally when the initial data consists of three piecewise constant states. The global structure and large time‐asymptotic behaviors of the solutions are analyzed case by case. During the process of the interaction, the strengths of delta shock waves are computed completely. Moreover, it can be found that the Riemann solutions are stable for such small perturbations with special initial data by letting perturbed parameter ε tends to zero.

Higher order shadow waves and delta shock blow up in the Chaplygin gas

The introductory part of this paper contains an overview of known results about elementary and delta shock solutions to Riemann problem for well known Chaplygin gas model (nowadays used in cosmological theories for dark energy) in terms of entropic shadow waves. Shadow waves are introduced in [17] and they are represented by shocks depending on a small parameter ε with unbounded amplitudes having a distributional limit involving the Dirac delta function. In a search for admissible solutions to all possible cases of mutual interactions of waves arising from double Riemann initial data we found same cases that cannot be resolved with already known types of elementary or shadow wave solutions. These cases are resolved by introducing a sequence of higher order shadow waves depending on integer powers of ε. It is shown that such waves have a distributional limit but only until some finite time T.     

Interactions of delta shock waves for the transport equations with split delta functions

This paper is concerned with the interactions of δ-shock waves and the vacuum states between the two contact discontinuities for the transport equations. The solutions are obtained constructively when the initial data are three piecewise constant states. The global structure and large time-asymptotic behaviors of the solutions are analyzed case by case. Moreover, it can be found that the Riemann solutions are stable for such small perturbations with initial data by studying the limits of the solutions when the perturbed parameter ε tends to zero.     

The Riemann problem with delta initial data for the nonsymmetric Keyfitz-Kranzer system with Chaplygin pressure

In this paper, we study the Riemann problem with the initial data containing the Dirac delta function for the nonsymmetric Keyfitz-Kranzer system with Chaplygin pressure. Under the generalized Rankine-Hugoniot conditions and entropy condition, we constructively obtain the global existence of generalized solutions including delta shock waves that explicitly exhibit four kinds of different structures. Moreover, we obtain the stability of generalized solutions by making use of the perturbation of the initial data.     

Riemann problem with delta initial data for the isentropic relativistic Chaplygin Euler equations

In this paper, we study the Riemann problem with the initial data containing the Dirac delta function for the isentropic relativistic Chaplygin Euler equations. Under suitably generalized Rankine–Hugoniot relation and entropy condition, we constructively obtain the global existence of generalized solutions including delta shock waves that explicitly exhibit four kinds of different structures. Moreover, it can be found that the solutions constructed here are stable for the perturbation of the initial data.     

Interactions of delta shock waves for the Aw-Rascle traffic model with split delta functions

This paper is concerned with the interactions of $\delta$-shock waves for the Aw-Rascle traffic model with split delta functions. The solutions are obtained constructively when the initial data are three piecewise constant states. The global structure and large time-asymptotic behaviors of the solutions are analyzed case by case. Moreover, it can be found that the Riemann solutions are stable for such small perturbations with initial data by studying the limits of the solutions when the perturbed parameter $\varepsilon\rightarrow0$.     

Vector least-squares solutions for coupled singular matrix equations

The weighted least-squares solutions of coupled singular matrix equations are too difficult to obtain by applying matrices decomposition. In this paper, a family of algorithms are applied to solve these problems based on the Kronecker structures. Subsequently, we construct a computationally efficient solutions of coupled restricted singular matrix equations. Furthermore, the need to compute the weighted Drazin and weighted Moore–Penrose inverses; and the use of Tian's work and Lev-Ari's results are due to appearance in the solutions of these problems. The several special cases of these problems are also considered which includes the well-known coupled Sylvester matrix equations. Finally, we recover the iterative methods to the weighted case in order to obtain the minimum D-norm G-vector least-squares solutions for the coupled Sylvester matrix equations and the results lead to the least-squares solutions and invertible solutions, as a special case.     

Interactions of delta shock waves and stability of Riemann solutions for nonlinear chromatography equations

This paper is devoted to studying the simplified nonlinear chromatography equations by introducing the change of state variables. The Riemann solutions containing delta shock waves are presented. In order to study wave interactions of delta shock waves with elementary waves, the global structure of solutions is constructed completely when the initial data are taken as three pieces of constants and the delta shock waves are included. In particular, the strength of delta shock wave is expressed explicitly and the delta contact discontinuity is discovered during the process of wave interactions. Moreover, by analyzing the limits of the solutions as the middle region vanishes, we observe that the Riemann solutions are stable for such a local small perturbation of the Riemann initial data.     

Interactions of delta shock waves for a class of nonstrictly hyperbolic system of conservation laws

In this paper, we study the perturbed Riemann problem for a class of nonstrictly hyperbolic system of conservation laws, and focuse on the interactions of delta shock waves with the shock waves and the rarefaction waves. The global solutions are constructed completely with the method of splitting delta function. In solutions, we find a new kind of nonclassical wave, which is called delta contact discontinuity with Dirac delta function in both components. It is quite different from the previous ones on which only one state variable contains the Dirac delta function. Moreover, by letting perturbed parameter $\varepsilon$ tend to zero, we analyze the stability of Riemann solutions.     

The local regularity for strong solutions of the Hessian quotient equation

By means of the Reilly formula and the Alexandrov maximum principle, we obtain the local C1,1 estimates of the W2,p strong solutions to the Hessian quotient equations for p sufficiently large, and then prove that these solutions are smooth. There are counterexamples to show that the integral exponent p is optimal in some cases. We modify partially the known result in the Hessian case, and extend the regularity result in the special Lagrangian case to the Hessian quotient case.     

The Riemann problem with delta initial data for a class of coupled hyperbolic systems of conservation laws

In this paper, we solve the Riemann problem with the initial data containing Dirac delta functions for a class of coupled hyperbolic systems of conservation laws. Under suitably generalized Rankine–Hugoniot relation and entropy condition, the existence and uniqueness of solutions involving delta shock waves are proved. Further, four kinds of different structure for solutions are established uniquely.     

Regularity for nonlinear elliptic systems with dini coefficients under natural growth condition for the case: 1 < m < 2

In this article, we consider interior regularity for weak solutions to nonlinear elliptic systems of divergence type with Dini continuous coefficients under natural growth condition for the case 1 < m < 2. All estimates in the case of m ≥ 2 is no longer suitable, and we can't obtain the Caccioppoli's second inequality by using these techniques developed in the case of m ≥ 2. But the Caccioppoli's second inequality is the key to use A-harmonic approximation method. Thus, we adopt another technique introduced by Acerbi and Fcsco to overcome the difficulty and we also overcome those difficulties due to Dini condition. And then we apply the A-harmonic approximation method to prove partial regularity of weak solutions.     

A priori estimates and existence of positive solutions for strongly nonlinear problems

In this paper we study the existence of positive solutions for a nonlinear Dirichlet problem involving the m-Laplacian. The nonlinearity considered depends on the first derivatives; in such case, variational methods cannot be applied. So, we make use of topological methods to prove the existence of solutions. We combine a blow-up argument and a Liouville-type theorem to obtain a priori estimates. Some Harnack-type inequalities which are needed in our reasonings are also proved.     

The multiplication of distributions in the study of delta shock wave for the nonlinear chromatography system

In the frame of $\alpha -$solutions defined in the setting of distributional products, the discontinuous solutions to the Riemann problem for a nonlinear chromatography system are constructed. All the discontinuous solutions are obtained within a convenient space of distributions including discontinuous functions and Dirac delta measures. The constructed $\alpha -$solutions are reasonable in comparison with the known results by using other techniques.     

Soliton-like and periodic form solutions to (2 + 1)-dimensional Toda equation

In this paper, we present a further extended tanh method for constructing exact solutions to nonlinear difference-differential equation(s) (NDDEs) and Lattice equations. By using this method via symbolic computation system MAPLE, we obtain abundant soliton-like and period-form solutions to the (2 + 1)-dimensional Toda equation. Solitary wave solutions are merely a special case in one family. This method can also be used to other nonlinear difference differential equations.     

Interactions of delta shock waves for the chromatography equations

This paper is devoted to the interactions of the delta shock waves with the shock waves and the rarefaction waves for the simplified chromatography equations. The global structures of solutions are constructed completely if the delta shock waves are included when the initial data are taken three piece constants and then the stability of Riemann solutions is also analyzed with the vanishing middle region. In particular, the strength of delta shock wave is expressed explicitly and the delta contact discontinuity is discovered during the process of wave interaction.     

Interpolation solution in generalized stochastic exponential population growth model

In this paper, first we consider model of exponential population growth, then we assume that the growth rate at time t is not completely definite and it depends on some random environment effects. For this case the stochastic exponential population growth model is introduced. Also we assume that the growth rate at time t depends on many different random environment effect, for this case the generalized stochastic exponential population growth model is introduced. The expectations and variances of solutions are obtained. For a case study, we consider the population growth of Iran and obtain the output of models for this data and predict the population individuals in each year.     

Complex germ method in fock space. II. Asymptotic solutions corresponding to finite-dimensional isotropic manifolds

In an earlier paper [1], the authors obtained approximate solutions of second-quantized equations of the form $$i\varepsilon \frac{{\partial \Phi }}{{\partial t}} = H\left( {\sqrt \varepsilon \hat \psi ^ + ,\sqrt \varepsilon \hat \psi ^ - } \right)\Phi$$ (φ is an element of a Fock space, and φ^± are creation and annihilation operators) in the limit?→0. The construction of these solutions was based on the expression of the operators φ^± in the form $$\hat \psi ^ \pm = \frac{{Q \mp \varepsilon \delta /\delta Q}}{{\sqrt {2\varepsilon } }}$$ and on the application to the obtained infinite-dimensional analog of the Schrödinger equation of the complex germ method at a point. This gives asymptotic solutions in theQ representation that are concentrated at each fixed instant of time in the neighborhood of a point. In this paper, we consider and generalize to the infinite-dimensional case the complex germ method on a manifold. This gives asymptotic solutions in theQ representation that are concentrated in the neighborhood of certain surfaces that are the projections of isotropic manifolds in the phase space onto theQ plane. The corresponding asymptotic solutions in the Fock representation are constructed. Examples of constructed asymptotic solutions are approximate solutions of theN-particle Schrödinger and Liouville equations (N～1/?), and also quantum-field equations.     

Properties of delta functions of a class of observables on white noise functionals

Let δa be the Dirac delta function at a∈R and (E)⊂(L²)⊂^∗(E) the canonical framework of white noise analysis over white noise space (E^∗,μ), where E^∗=S^∗(R). For h∈H=L²(R) with h≠0, denote by Mh the operator of multiplication by Wh=〈⋅,h〉 in (L²). In this paper, we first show that Mh is δa-composable. Thus the delta function δa(Mh) makes sense as a generalized operator, i.e. a continuous linear operator from (E) to ^∗(E). We then establish a formula showing an intimate connection between δa(Mh) as a generalized operator and δa(Wh) as a generalized functional. We also obtain the representation of δa(Mh) as a series of integral kernel operators. Finally we prove that δa(Mh) depends continuously on a∈R.     

A competition between Fujita and Strauss type exponents for blow-up of semi-linear wave equations with scale-invariant damping and mass

We obtain a blow-up result for solutions to a semi-linear wave equation with scale-invariant dissipation and mass and power non-linearity, in the case in which the model has a “wave like” behavior. We perform a change of variables that transforms our starting equation in a strictly hyperbolic semi-linear wave equation with time-dependent speed of propagation. Applying Kato's lemma we prove a blow-up result for solutions to the transformed equation under some assumptions on the initial data. The limit case, that is, when the exponent p is exactly equal to the upper bound of the range of admissible values of p yielding blow-up needs special considerations. In this critical case an explicit integral representation formula for solutions of the corresponding linear Cauchy problem in 1d is derived. Finally, carrying out the inverse change of variables we get a non-existence result for global (in time) solutions to the original model.
