Aerodynamic Sound due to a Point Source near a Half-plane

In this paper we extend Jones's analysis of the diffractionof sound in three dimensions by a semi-infinite plane with aplane vortex sheet attached in the two cases when the wave equationis in the form for still air and when convection is present.It is found that in so far as the moving medium is concernedthe imposition or otherwise of the Kutta-Joukowski conditiondoes not have much influence on the scattered field away fromthe diffracting plane; when the source is near the edge thefield has the same directionality and order of magnitude. Onthe other hand, near the wake the Kutta-Joukowski conditionproduces a much stronger field than elsewhere even when thesource is not near the edge. We also conclude that the samephenomenon occurs for arbitrary sources and not just for theline source discussed by Jones.     

Singular approximation for the calculation of the elastic properties of reinforced systems

A method has been developed, based on the random field theory, for the calculation of the elastic properties of reinforced media. The solution is obtained in the form of an operator series, each term of which is based on the formal component of the second derivative of Green's tensor of incompatibility equations. The zero (singular) approximation of such a series takes into account the local part of interactions between the inhomogeneity grains. The singular approximation was used to calculate the elasticity moduli of unidirectionl reinforced materials.Moscow Institute of Electronics.

Some relationships between Green's functions and invariant imbedding

The method of invariant imbedding has been used to resolve the solution of linear two-point boundary-value problems into contributions associated with the homogeneous equation with homogeneous boundary conditions, with inhomogeneous boundary conditions, and with an inhomogeneous source term in the equation. The relationship between the Green's function and the invariant imbedding equations is described, and it is shown that the Green's function can be determined from an initial-value problem. Several numerical examples are given which illustrate the efficacy of the initial-value algorithm.This work was supported by the US Atomic Energy Commission.     

On the equivalence of the electromagnetic problem of diffraction by an inhomogeneous bounded dielectric body to a volume singular integro-differential equation

The paper is concerned with the smoothness of the solutions to the volume singular integrodifferential equations for the electric field to which the problem of electromagnetic-wave diffraction by a local inhomogeneous bounded dielectric body is reduced. The basic tool of the study is the method of pseudo-differential operators in Sobolev spaces. The theory of elliptic boundary problems and field-matching problems is also applied. It is proven that, for smooth data of the problem, the solution from the space of square-summable functions is continuous up to the boundaries and smooth inside and outside of the body. The results on the smoothness of the solutions to the volume singular integro-differential equation for the electric field make it possible to resolve the issues on the equivalence of the boundary value problem and the equation.     

Singular and degenerate anisotropic parabolic equations with a nonlinear source

The Dirichlet problem in arbitrary domain for degenerate and singular anisotropic parabolic equations with a nonlinear source term is considered. We state conditions that guarantee the existence and uniqueness of a global weak solution to the problem. A similar result is proved for the parabolic p-Laplace equation.     

Mixed problem of plane orthotropic elasticity in a half-plane

We consider a mixed problem of plane isotropic elasticity in a half-plane in which the displacement vector and the normal component of the stress tensor are alternately specified on successive intervals of the real axis. We derive a closed-form expression for the solution of this problem, which is similar to the well-known Keldysh–Sedov formula for the half-plane.     

The solution methods for the largest eigenvalue (singular value) of nonnegative tensors and convergence analysis

In this paper we study two solution methods for finding the largest eigenvalue (singular value) of general square (rectangular) nonnegative tensors. For a positive tensor, one can find the largest eigenvalue (singular value) based on the properties of the positive tensor and the power-type method. While for a general nonnegative tensor, we use a series of decreasing positive perturbations of the original tensor and repeatedly recall power-type method for finding the largest eigenvalue (singular value) of a positive tensor with an inexact strategy. We prove the convergence of the method for the general nonnegative tensor. Under a certain assumption, the computing complexity of the method is established. Motivated by the interior-point method for the convex optimization, we put forward a one-step inner iteration power-type method, whose convergence is also established under certain assumption. Additionally, by using embedding technique, we show the relationship between the singular values of the rectangular tensor and the eigenvalues of related square tensor, which suggests another way for finding the largest singular value of nonnegative rectangular tensor besides direct power-type method for this problem. Finally, numerical examples of our algorithms are reported, which demonstrate the convergence behaviors of our methods and show that the algorithms presented are promising.

Optimal institutional advertising: Minimum-time problem

This paper considers the problem of optimizing the institutional advertising expenditure for a firm which produces two products. The problem is formulated as a minimum-time control problem for the dynamics of an extended Vidale-Wolfe advertising model, the optimal control being the rate of institutional advertising that minimizes the time to attain the specified target market shares for the two products. The attainable set and the optimal control are obtained by applying the recent theory developed by Hermes and Haynes extending the Green's theorem approach to higher dimensions. It is shown that the optimal control is a strict bang-bang control. An interesting side result is that the singular arc obtained by the Green's theorem application turns out to be a maximum-time solution over the set of all feasible controls. The result clarifies the connection between the Green's theorem approach and the maximum principle approach.     

On a thermal stress problem for contacting half-spaces with inclusions of other material involving a new method for computing potentials and singular integrals

This paper deals with a thermal stress problem for contacting half-spaces of different materials having an inclusion of other material. With the aid of the contact tensor of two half spaces the problem is reduced to singular integral equations. Some new theorems on potentials with the contact tensor are used. Finally, a potential of the double layer with the contact tensor in the kernel and a singular integral operator, being the direct value of the potential, are calculated. For this a Kupradze method is applied, interpreting this potential as a solution of a contact problem of elastostatics. Some numerical experiments are communicated.

给出了双空间指示函数方法在三维柱面对称波导中电磁波的反散射问题的推广.基于这个观察:当Green函数的点源在障碍物内部时,那么远域数据的赋权积分可以很好地近似估计Green函数,但是当Green函数的点源在障碍物外部时,那么远域数据的赋权积分就不能很好地近似估计Green函数.建立一个积分方程:它的右边是点源在所重构区域的Green函数,那么我们可以知道这个积分方程的解的范数在未知障碍物的内部有极大值,而这些取得极大值的点所围成的区域恰好就是所重构的障碍物区域.方法最显著的优势在于它不依赖于未知障碍物的边界条件.     

Sparse tensor edge elements

We consider the tensorized operator for the Maxwell cavity source problem in frequency domain. Such formulations occur when computing statistical moments of the fields under a stochastic volume excitation. We establish a discrete inf-sup condition for its Ritz-Galerkin discretization on sparse tensor product edge element spaces built on nested sequences of meshes. Our main tool is a generalization of the edge element Fortin projector to a tensor product setting. The techniques extend to the surface boundary edge element discretization of tensorized electric field integral equation operators.

A finite element method dealing the singular points with a cut-off function

We consider an elliptic partial differential equation with input function inH ^-1. We assume that the type of singular part of solution is known and the solution is expressed as a sum of regular and singular term. We use a cut-off function to isolate the singular part and pose a variational problem to find the regular part of the solution. Then we have the solution by adding the regular solution and singular part. Error analysis and some example with computation will be given.     

Computation of thermal residual stresses in optic fibers

We propose an analytic method of determining all the components of the residual stress tensor in optic fibers. The method is based on solving a plane problem for a cylindrical structure with singular stresses. We obtain closed-form solutions of the problem in the case of a piecewise-constant distribution of free deformations that model the presence of inclusions in the fiber with different values of the thermal coefficient of expansion. We also consider inclusions with cross sections in the shape of a circle, a central ellipse and a central annular sector. We describe the results obtained on this basis in the computation of residual thermal stresses.Translated fromMatematicheskie Metody i Fiziko-Mekhanicheskie Polya, Issue 34, 1991, pp. 79–83.     

Singular values of a real rectangular tensor

Real rectangular tensors arise from the strong ellipticity condition problem in solid mechanics and the entanglement problem in quantum physics. In this paper, we systematically study properties of singular values of a real rectangular tensor, and give an algorithm to find the largest singular value of a nonnegative rectangular tensor. Numerical results show that the algorithm is efficient.     

Electromagnetic fields in the presence of an infinite dielectric wedge: the phased line source excitation case

Electromagnetic fields, excited by an electric phased line sourcein the presence of an infinite dielectric wedge, are determinedby application of the Kontorovich–Lebedev transform. TheMaxwell's equations together with the conditions of continuityof the tangential field components at the material interfacesare formulated as a vector boundary-value problem. By representingthe field components as Kontorovich–Lebedev integrals,the problem is reduced to a system of singular integral equationsfor the unknown spectral functions. We construct numerical solutionsto those equations that permit fields evaluation for valuesof the wedge refractive index, not necessarily close to unity,and for arbitrary positioned source and observer. Numericalresults showing the influence of a wedge presence on the directivityof a phased line source are presented and verified through finite-differencefrequency-domain simulations.
