Global Steady State Analytical Solution of Cadmium Uptake Model for Plant Roots

The concentration distribution of cadmium ion in soil is studied by the phytoavailability model. According to the states of the cadmium complex: fully inert, fully labile and partially labile, we establish three corresponding cadmium uptake sub-models, and derive respective global analytical solutions at steady state. In particular, when the complex is partially labile, we give the steady analytical solution of cadmium ion concentration in cylindrical geometry composed of the analytical solutions of partially labile complex and fully inert complex in planar geometry and fully inert complex in cylindrical geometry, that is, the ration approximation method. In this paper, the global analytical solutions are compared with the results of literature and numerical simulations. Therefore, the double check is realized to ensure the rationality of the analytical method. The global concentration profile of cadmium ions in the whole rhizosphere can be described by the steady state analytical solutions: the concentration of cadmium ion increases with the distance from the root surface and finally reaches the initial value; the change rate of cadmium ion concentration is the largest when the complex is fully labile; whatever the state of the complex is, cadmium ions never accumulate on the root surface. Finally, we discuss and compare the effects of moving and fixed right boundaries of the model on the results. The results show that it is more reasonable to take the fixed right boundary, and plant roots can uptake cadmium ions in a wider range.

Multiple positive solutions for a Kirchhoff type problem with a critical nonlinearity

In this paper, we study the multiplicity results of positive solutions for a Kirchhoff type problem with critical growth, with the help of the concentration compactness principle, and we prove that problem admits two positive solutions, and one of the solutions is a positive ground state solution.     

Multiple solutions of a boundary-value problem in enzyme kinetics

In some immobilized enzyme systems the steady state of substrate concentration may suddenly change from a low profile to a high profile or vice versa when the physical parameters of the systems pass through certain critical values. This phenomenon is due to the transition from a unique solution to multiple solutions (or vice versa) of the enzyme reaction equation. This problem is studied by considering two physical parameters which represent the internal reaction mechanism and the external influence on the boundary of the reaction-diffusion medium. Both analytical and numerical results for the problem are presented. The analytical results include some sufficient conditions for the existence of multiple steady-state solutions as well as a unique solution. Various numerical results of the problem including time-dependent solutions and their convergence to steady-state solutions are given.     

Existence, multiplicity and concentration of bound states for a quasilinear elliptic field equation

In this paper we study existence, multiplicity and concentration of solutions for the following nonlinear field equation where the potential V is positive and W is an appropriate singular function. Here is regarded as a small parameter. Under suitable conditions on V and W we find solutions exhibiting a concentration behaviour at an absolute minimum of V as Such solutions are obtained as local minima for the associated functional; the proofs of our results rely on a careful analysis of the behaviour of minimizing sequences and use arguments inspired by the concentration-compactness principle.

Concentration inequalities for stochastic differential equations of pure non-Poissonian jumps

We provide concentration inequalities for solutions to stochastic differential equations of pure not-necessarily Poissonian jumps. Our proofs are based on transportation cost inequalities for square integrable functionals of point processes with stochastic intensity and elements of stochastic calculus with respect to semi-martingales. We apply the general results to solutions of stochastic differential equations driven by renewal and non-linear Hawkes point processes.     

Hybrid modeling of convective laminar flow in a permeable tube associated with the cross-flow process

The confined flows in tubes with permeable surfaces are associated to tangential filtration processes (microfiltration or ultrafiltration). The complexity of the phenomena do not allow for the development of exact analytical solutions, however, approximate solutions are of great interest for the calculation of the transmembrane outflow and estimate of the concentration polarization phenomenon. In the present work, the generalized integral transform technique (GITT) was employed in solving the laminar and permanent flow in permeable tubes of Newtonian and incompressible fluid. The mathematical formulation employed the parabolic differential equation of chemical species conservation (convective–diffusive equation). The velocity profiles for the entrance region flow, which are found in the connective terms of the equation, were assessed by solutions obtained from literature. The velocity at the permeable wall was considered uniform, with the concentration at the tube wall regarded as variable with an axial position. A computational methodology using global error control was applied to determine the concentration in the wall and concentration boundary layer thickness. The results obtained for the local transmembrane flux and the concentration boundary layer thickness were compared against others in literature.     

Existence and concentration of solutions for a class of biharmonic Kirchhoff equations with discontinuous nonlinearity

A numerical method for an inhomogeneous nonlinear diffusion problem

A numerical method for the solution of an inhomogeneous nonlinear diffusion problem that arises in a variety of applications is presented. The diffusion coefficient in the underlying diffusion process is concentration- as well as distance- dependent. We wish to determine the concentration of the diffusing substance in a semi-infinite domain at any time, starting with a given initial concentration. The method of solution begins by first mapping the semi-infinite physical domain to a finite computational domain. An implicit finite-difference marching procedure is then used to advance the solution in time. Numerical results are presented for several physical problems. We observe that the present numerical solutions are in good agreement with the analytical solutions obtained previously by other researchers.

The heat flow with a critical exponential nonlinearity

We analyze the possible concentration behavior of heat flows related to the Moser–Trudinger energy and derive quantization results completely analogous to the quantization results for solutions of the corresponding elliptic equation. As an application of our results we obtain the existence of critical points of the Moser–Trudinger energy in a supercritical regime.     

An evaluation of three upwinding approximations for numerical modeling the flow in tubular membrane of Newtonian and non-Newtonian fluids

In this paper, the laminar fluid flow of Newtonian and non-Newtonian of aqueous solutions in a tubular membrane is numerically studied. The mathematical formulation, with associated initial and boundary conditions for cylindrical coordinates, comprises the mass conservation, momentum conservation and mass transfer equations. These equations are discretized by using the finite-difference technique on a staggered grid system. Comparisons of the three upwinding schemes for discretization of the non-linear (convective) terms are presented. The effects of several physical parameters on the concentration profile are investigated. The numerical results compare favorably with experimental data and the analytical solutions.

High-order positivity-preserving hybrid finite-volume-finite-difference methods for chemotaxis systems

Chemotaxis refers to mechanisms by which cellular motion occurs in response to an external stimulus, usually a chemical one. Chemotaxis phenomenon plays an important role in bacteria/cell aggregation and pattern formation mechanisms, as well as in tumor growth. A common property of all chemotaxis systems is their ability to model a concentration phenomenon that mathematically results in rapid growth of solutions in small neighborhoods of concentration points/curves. The solutions may blow up or may exhibit a very singular, spiky behavior. There is consequently a need for accurate and computationally efficient numerical methods for the chemotaxis models. In this work, we develop and study novel high-order hybrid finite-volume-finite-difference schemes for the Patlak-Keller-Segel chemotaxis system and related models. We demonstrate high-accuracy, stability and computational efficiency of the proposed schemes in a number of numerical examples.

New concentration phenomena for a class of radial fully nonlinear equations

We study radial sign-changing solutions of a class of fully nonlinear elliptic Dirichlet problems in a ball, driven by the extremal Pucci's operators and with a power nonlinear term. We first determine a new critical exponent related to the existence or nonexistence of such solutions. Then we analyze the asymptotic behavior of the radial nodal solutions as the exponents approach the critical values, showing that new concentration phenomena occur. Finally we define a suitable weighted energy for these solutions and compute its limit value.     

Existence and concentration of positive solutions for a class of gradient systems

Some gradient systems with two competing potential functions are considered. Bound states (solutions with finite energy) are proved to exist and to concentrate at a point in the limit. The proof relies on variational methods, where the existence and concentration of positive solutions are related to a suitable ground energy function.     

Modeling dissolution in a filtration flow

The article considers mathematical models that describe in various approximations dissolution in a moving filtration flow. A more complete new model is developed and its results are compared with experimental data. The new model reflects the main features of mineral leaching by sulfuric-acid solutions. Self-similar solutions are obtained describing the motion of the solution leading front that displaces the natural water and the trailing front that tracks the progress of the active dissolution region. The effective dissolution zone width and the dissolution zone transport velocity are determined as functions of the filtration velocity, porosity, saturated solution concentration, and other parameters of the medium. The model is applied to construct the longitudinal concentration distribution of the leached substance for a one-dimensional constant-velocity flow. __________ Translated from Prikladnaya Matematika i Informatika, No. 21, pp. 30–47, 2005.     

Effect of the chemical reaction and radiation absorption on the unsteady MHD free convection flow past a semi infinite vertical permeable moving plate with heat source and suction

Analytical solutions for heat and mass transfer by laminar flow of a Newtonian, viscous, electrically conducting and heat generation/absorbing fluid on a continuously vertical permeable surface in the presence of a radiation, a first-order homogeneous chemical reaction and the mass flux are reported. The plate is assumed to move with a constant velocity in the direction of fluid flow. A uniform magnetic field acts perpendicular to the porous surface, which absorbs the fluid with a suction velocity varying with time. The dimensionless governing equations for this investigation are solved analytically using two-term harmonic and non-harmonic functions. Graphical results for velocity, temperature and concentration profiles of both phases based on the analytical solutions are presented and discussed.
