THE CAUCHY PROBLEM OF THE HARTREE EQUATION

In this paper, we systematically study the wellposedness, illposedness of the Hartree equation, and obtain the sharp local wellposedness, the global existence in Hs, s≥1 and the small scattering result in Hs for 2 〈γ〈 n and s ≥ 2/γ - 1. In addition, we study the nonexistence of nontrivial asymptotically free solutions of the Hartree equation.     

THE SENSITIVITY OF THE EXPONENTIAL OF AN ESSENTIALLY NONNEGATIVE MATRIX

This paper performs perturbation analysis for the exponential of an essentially nonnegative matrix which is perturbed in the way that each entry has a small relative perturbation. For a general essentially nonnegative matrix, we obtain an upper bound for the relative error in 2-norm, which is sharper than the existing perturbation results. For a triangular essentially nonnegative matrix, we obtain an upper bound for the relative error in entrywise sense. This bound indicates that, if the spectral radius of an essentially nonnegative matrix is not large, then small entrywise relative perturbations cause small relative error in each entry of its exponential. Finally, we apply our perturbation results to the sensitivity analysis of RC networks and complementary distribution functions of phase-type distributions.     

GLOBAL L^p ESTIMATES FOR THE PARABOLIC EQUATION OF THE BI-HARMONIC TYPE

In this paper similarly to the second-order case, we give an elementary and straightforward proof of global Lp estimates for the initial-value parabolic problem of the bi-harmonic type. Moreover, we obtain the existence and uniqueness of the solutions in the suitable space using the potential theory, Marcinkiewicz interpolation theorem and approximation argument. Meanwhile, by the same approach we can deal with the general polyharmonic cases.     

THE UNIQUENESS OF A TRANSONIC SHOCK IN A NOZZLE FOR THE 2-D COMPLETE EULER SYSTEM WITH THE VARIABLE END PRESSURE

In this paper, by use of the methods in [1-3], we establish the uniqueness of a 2-D transonic shock solution in a nozzle when the end pressure in the diverging part of the nozzle lies in an appropriate scope. Especially, we remove the crucial but unnatural assumption in recent references which the transonic shock must be assumed to go through a fixed point in advance.     

COMBINED EFFECTS IN A SEMILINEAR POLYHARMONIC PROBLEM IN THE UNIT BALL

Let m be a positive integer and B be the unit ball of Rn(n ≥ 2). We investigate the existence, uniqueness and the asymptotic behavior of a positive continuous solution to the following semilinear polyharmonic boundary value problem(-△)mu = a1(x)uα1+ a2(x)uα2, lim|x|→1u(x)(1- |x|)m-1= 0,where α1, α2 ∈(-1, 1) and a1, a2 are two nonnegative measurable functions on B satisfying some appropriate assumptions related to Karamata regular variation theory.     

SOLUTIONS TO DISCRETE MULTIPARAMETER PERIODIC BOUNDARY VALUE PROBLEMS INVOLVING THE p-LAPLACIAN VIA CRITICAL POINT THEORY

In this paper, we consider the existence of three nontrivial solutions for a discrete non-linear multiparameter periodic problem involving the p-Laplacian. By using the similar method for the Dirichlet boundary value problems in [G. Bonanno and P. Candito, Appl.Anal., 88(4)(2009), pp. 605-616], we construct two new strong maximum principles and obtain that the boundary value problem has three positive solutions for λ and μ in some suitable intervals. The approaches we use are the critical point theory.     

THE NON-CUTOFF BOLTZMANN EQUATION WITH POTENTIAL FORCE IN THE WHOLE SPACE

This paper is concerned with the non-cutoff Boltzmann equation for full-range interactions with potential force in the whole space. We establish the global existence and optimal temporal convergence rates of classical solutions to the Cauchy problem when initial data is a small perturbation of the stationary solution. The analysis is based on the timeweighted energy method building also upon the recent studies of the non-cutoff Boltzmann equation in [1–3, 15] and the non-cutoff Vlasov-Poisson-Boltzmann system [6].     

A REMARK ON THE BLOW-UP CRITERION OF STRONG SOLUTIONS AND REGULARITY FOR WEAK SOLUTIONS OF NAVIER-STOKES EQUATIONS

SOME LIOUVILLE TYPE THEOREMS FOR THE P-SUB-LAPLACIAN ON THE GROUP OF HEISENBERG TYPE

In this paper we prove some Liouville type results for the p-sub-Laplacian on the group of Heisenberg type. A strong maximum principle and a Hopf type principle concerning p-sub-Laplacian are established.     

A PERTURBATION METHOD FOR THE NUMERICAL SOLUTION OF THE BERNOULLI PROBLEM

We consider the numerical solution of the free boundary Bernoulli problem by employing level set formulations. Using a perturbation technique, we derive a second order method that leads to a fast iteration solver. The iteration procedure is adapted in order to work in the case of topology changes. Various numerical experiments confirm the efficiency of the derived numerical method.     

THE GENERALIZED RIEMANN PROBLEM FOR A SCALAR COMBUSTION MODEL --THE PERTURBATION ON INITIAL BINDING ENERGY

In this paper, we study the generalized Riemann problem for a scalar Chapman-Jouguet combustion model in a neighborhood of the origin on upper half of the （x, t）plane. We focus our attention on the perturbation on initial binding energy. Under the entropy conditions, the solutions are obtained constructively. It shows that the perturbed Riemann solutions possess the structural stability except the case that the corresponding Riemann solutions contain CJDT, for which CJDT may transform into SDT after perturbation on initial binding energy in the neighborhood of the origin.     

A NEW ALGORITHM FOR COMPUTING THE INVERSE AND GENERALIZED INVERSE OF THE SCALED FACTOR CIRCULANT MATRIX

A new algorithm for finding the inverse of a nonsingular scaled factor circulant matrix is presented by the Euclid＇s algorithm. Extension is made to compute the group inverse and the Moore-Penrose inverse of the singular scaled factor circulant matrix. Numerical examples are presented to demonstrate the implementation of the proposed algorithm.     

ON THE OPTIMIZATION OF EXTRAPOLATION METHODS FOR SINGULAR LINEAR SYSTEMS

We discuss semiconvergence of the extrapolated iterative methods for solving singular linear systems. We obtain the upper bounds and the optimum convergence factor of the extrapolation method as well as its associated optimum extrapolation parameter. Numerical examples are given to illustrate the theoretical results.     

THE RESTRICTIVELY PRECONDITIONED CONJUGATE GRADIENT METHODS ON NORMAL RESIDUAL FOR BLOCK TWO-BY-TWO LINEAR SYSTEMS

The restrictively preconditioned conjugate gradient （RPCG） method is further developed to solve large sparse system of linear equations of a block two-by-two structure. The basic idea of this new approach is that we apply the RPCG method to the normal-residual equation of the block two-by-two linear system and construct each required approximate matrix by making use of the incomplete orthogonal factorization of the involved matrix blocks. Numerical experiments show that the new method, called the restrictively preconditioned conjugate gradient on normal residual （RPCGNR）, is more robust and effective than either the known RPCG method or the standard conjugate gradient on normal residual （CGNR） method when being used for solving the large sparse saddle point problems.

THE MAIN INVARIANTS OF A COMPLEX FINSLER SPACE

In this paper we extend the results obtained in [3], where are investigated the general settings of the two-dimensional complex Finsler manifolds, with respect to a local complex Berwald frame. The geometry of such manifolds is controlled by three real invariants which live on T ′M : two horizontal curvature invariants K and W and one vertical curvature invariant I. By means of these invariants are defined both the horizontal and the vertical holomorphic sectional curvatures. The complex Landsberg and Berwald spaces are of particular interest. Complex Berwald spaces coincide with K¨ahler spaces, in the two-dimensional case. We establish the necessary and sufficient condition under which K is a constant and we obtain a characterization for the K¨ahler purely Hermitian spaces by the fact K = W = constant and I = 0. For the class of complex Berwald spaces we have K = W = 0.Finally, a classification of two-dimensional complex Finsler spaces for which the horizontal curvature satisfies a special property is obtained.     

STARLIKENESS AND SUBORDINATION PROPERTIES OF A LINEAR OPERATOR

In this paper, we introduce a new class of p-valent analytic functions defined by using a linear operator Lαk. For functions in this class Hαk(p, λ; h) we estimate the coefficients.Furthermore, some subordination properties related to the operator Lαkare also derived.     

EXTINCTION AND PERMANENCE OF TWO COMPETING SPECIES WITH IMPULSES

In this paper we consider a nonautonomous two dimensional Lotka-Volterra system with impulsive effect. We prove that one of components is driven to extinction while the other stabilizes at a certain solution of an impulsive logistic equation under some conditions.     

A Nonlinear Diffusion System with Coupled Nonlinear Boundary Flux

This paper studies a nonlinear diffusion system with coupled nonlinear boundary flux and two kinds of inner sources （positive for the first and negative for the second）, where the four nonlinear mechanisms are described by eight nonlinear parameters. The critical exponent of the system is determined by a complete classification of the eight nonlinear parameters, which is represented via the characteristic algebraic system introduced to the problem.
