Generalized Frankl-Rassias Mixed Type Equations in an Problem for a Class of Infinite Domain

In this paper, we study the boundary-value problem for mixed type equation with singular coefficient. We prove the unique solvability of the mentioned problem with the help of the extremum principle. The proof of the existence is based on the theory of singular integral equations, Wiener-Hopf equations and Fredholm integral equations.     

GLOBAL EXISTENCE OF SOLUTIONS OF CAUCHY PROBLEM FOR GENERALIZED BBM-BURGERS EQUATION

In this paper, the existence and the uniqueness of the local generalized solution and the local classical solution of the Cauchy problem for the generalized BBM-Burgers equationare proved. The existence and the uniqueness of the global generalized solution and the global classical solution for the Cauchy problem of equation （1） are proved when n = 3, 2, 1. Moreover, the decay property of the solution is discussed.     

EXISTENCE OF ENTROPY SOLUTIONS TO TWO-DIMENSIONAL STEADY EXOTHERMICALLY REACTING EULER EQUATIONS

We are concerned with the global existence of entropy solutions of the twodimensional steady Euler equations for an ideal gas, which undergoes a one-step exothermic chemical reaction under the Arrhenius-type kinetics. The reaction rate function φ(T) is assumed to have a positive lower bound. We first consider the Cauchy problem(the initial value problem), that is, seek a supersonic downstream reacting flow when the incoming flow is supersonic, and establish the global existence of entropy solutions when the total variation of the initial data is suffciently small. Then we analyze the problem of steady supersonic, exothermically reacting Euler flow past a Lipschitz wedge, generating an additional detonation wave attached to the wedge vertex, which can be then formulated as an initial-boundary value problem. We establish the global existence of entropy solutions containing the additional detonation wave(weak or strong, determined by the wedge angle at the wedge vertex) when the total variation of both the slope of the wedge boundary and the incoming flow is suitably small. The downstream asymptotic behavior of the global solutions is also obtained.     

THE NAVIER-STOKES EQUATIONS WITH THE KINEMATIC AND VORTICITY BOUNDARY CONDITIONS ON NON-FLAT BOUNDARIES

We study the initial-boundary value problem of the Navier-Stokes equations for incompressible fluids in a general domain in R^n with compact and smooth boundary, subject to the kinematic and vorticity boundary conditions on the non-flat boundary. We observe that, under the nonhomogeneous boundary conditions, the pressure p can be still recovered by solving the Neumann problem for the Poisson equation. Then we establish the well-posedness of the unsteady Stokes equations and employ the solution to reduce our initial-boundary value problem into an initial-boundary value problem with absolute boundary conditions. Based on this, we first establish the well-posedness for an appropriate local linearized problem with the absolute boundary conditions and the initial condition （without the incompressibility condition）, which establishes a velocity mapping. Then we develop apriori estimates for the velocity mapping, especially involving the Sobolev norm for the time-derivative of the mapping to deal with the complicated boundary conditions, which leads to the existence of the fixed point of the mapping and the existence of solutions to our initial-boundary value problem. Finally, we establish that, when the viscosity coefficient tends zero, the strong solutions of the initial-boundary value problem in R^n（n ≥ 3） with nonhomogeneous vorticity boundary condition converge in L^2 to the corresponding Euler equations satisfying the kinematic condition.     

WELL-POSEDNESS OF A COMPRESSIBLE GAS-LIQUID MODEL FOR DEEPWATER OIL WELL OPERATIONS

The main purpose of this paper is two-fold:(i) to generalize an existence result for a compressible gas-liquid model with a friction term recently published by Friis and Evje [SIAM J. Appl. Math., 71(2011), pp. 2014–2047];(ii) to derive a uniqueness result for the same model. A main ingredient in the existence part is the observation that we can consider weaker assumptions on the initial liquid and gas mass, and still obtain an existence result. Compared to the above mentioned work, we rely on a more refined application of the estimates provided by the basic energy estimate. Concerning the uniqueness result, we borrow ideas from Fang and Zhang [Nonlinear Anal. TMA, 58(2004), pp. 719–731] and derive a stability result under appropriate constraints on parameters that determine rate of decay toward zero at the boundary for gas and liquid masses, and growth rate of masses associated with the friction term and viscous coefficient.     

POSITIVE SOLUTIONS FOR PARAMETRIC EQUIDIFFUSIVE p-LAPLACIAN EQUATIONS

We consider a parametric Dirichlet problem driven by the p-Laplacian with a Carath′eodory reaction of equidiffusive type. Our hypotheses incorporate as a special case the equidiffusive p-logistic equation. We show that if λ1 0 is the principal eigenvalue of the Dirichlet negative p-Laplacian and λ λ1(λ being the parameter), the problem has a unique positive solution, while for λ∈(0,λ1], the problem has no positive solution.     

ON THE SINGULARITY OF LEAST SQUARES ESTIMATOR FOR MEAN-REVERTING α-STABLE MOTIONS

We study the problem of parameter estimation for mean-reverting α-stable motion, dXt = （a0 - θ0Xt）dt ＋ dZt, observed at discrete time instants. A least squares estimator is obtained and its asymptotics is discussed in the singular case （a0, θ0） = （0, 0）. If a0 = 0, then the mean-reverting α-stable motion becomes Ornstein-Uhlenbeck process and is studied in [7] in the ergodic case θ0 〉 0. For the Ornstein-Uhlenbeck process, asymptotics of the least squares estimators for the singular case （θ0 = 0） and for ergodic case （θ0 〉 0） are completely different.     

Very Singular Similarity Solutions and Hermitian Spectral Theory for Semilinear Odd-order PDEs

Asymptotic large- and short-time behavior of solutions of the linear dispersion equation μt = Uxxx in IR× IR＋, and its （2k＋l）th-order extensions are studied. Such a refined scattering is based on a ＂Hermitian＂ spectral theory for a pair {B,B＊} of non self-adjoint rescaled operators     

Existence and Uniqueness of Strong Solution for Shear Thickening Fluids of Second Grade

In this paper we study the equations governing the unsteady motion of an incompressible homogeneous generalized second grade fluid subject to periodic boundary conditions. We establish the existence of global-in-time strong solutions for shear thickening flows in the two and three dimensional case. We also prove uniqueness of such solution without any smallness condition on the initial data or restriction on the material moduli.     

A REACTIVE DYNAMIC CONTINUUM USER EQUILIBRIUM MODEL FOR BI-DIRECTIONAL PEDESTRIAN FLOWS

In this paper, a reactive dynamic user equilibrium model is extended to simulate two groups of pedestrians traveling on crossing paths in a continuous walking facility. Each group makes path choices to minimize the travel cost to its destination in a reactive manner based on instantaneous information. The model consists of a conservation law equation coupled with an Eikonal-type equation for each group. The velocity-density relationship of pedestrian movement is obtained via an experimental method. The model is solved using a finite volume method for the conservation law equation and a fast-marching method for the Eikonal-type equation on unstructured grids. The numerical results verify the rationality of the model and the validity of the numerical method. Based on this continuum model, a number of results, e.g., the formation of strips or moving clusters composed of pedestrians walking to the same destination, are also observed.     

ON THE ASYMPTOTIC BEHAVIOR OF HOLOMORPHIC ISOMETRIES OF THE POINCARE DISK INTO BOUNDED SYMMETRIC DOMAINS

In this article we bounded symmetric domains study holomorphic isometries of the Poincare disk into Earlier we solved the problem of analytic continuation of germs of holomorphic maps between bounded domains which are isometrics up to normalizing constants with respect to the Bergman metric, showing in particular that the graph 170 of any germ of holomorphic isometry of the Poincar6 disk A into an irreducible bounded symmetric domain Ω belong to C^N in its Harish-Chandra realization must extend to an affinealgebraic subvariety V belong to C × C^N = C^N＋1, and that the irreducible component of V ∩ （△ × Ω） containing V0 is the graph of a proper holomorphic isometric embedding F ： A→ Ω. In this article we study holomorphie isometric embeddings which are asymptotically geodesic at a general boundary point b ∈ δ△. Starting with the structural equation for holomorphic isometrics arising from the Gauss equation, we obtain by covariant differentiation an identity relating certain holomorphic bisectional curvatures to the boundary behavior of the second fundamental form σ of the holomorphie isometric embedding. Using the nonpositivity of holomorphic bisectional curvatures on a bounded symmetric domain, we prove that ‖σ‖ must vanish at a general boundary point either to the order 1 or to the order 1/2, called a holomorphie isometry of the first resp. second kind. We deal with special cases of non-standard holomorphic isometric embeddings of such maps, showing that they must be asymptotically totally geodesic at a general boundary point and in fact of the first kind whenever the target domain is a Cartesian product of complex unit balls. We also study the boundary behavior of an example of holomorphic isometric embedding from the Poincare disk into a Siegel upper half-plane by an explicit determination of the boundary behavior of holomorphic sectional curvatures in the directions tangent to the embedded Poincare disk, showing that the map is indeed asymptotically totally geodesic at a general boundary point and of the first kind. For the metric computation we make use of formulas for symplectic geometry on Siegel upper half-planes.

Nonradial Solutions of a Mixed Concave-Convex Elliptic Problem

We study the homogeneous Dirichlet problem in a ball for semi-linear elliptic problems derived from the Brezis-Nirenberg one with concave-convex nonlinearities. We are interested in determining non-radial solutions which are invariant with respect to some subgroup of the orthogonal group. We prove that unlike separated nonlinearities, there are two types of solutions, one converging to zero and one diverging. We conclude at the end on the classification of non radial solutions related to the nonlinearity used.     

MULTIPLE SOLUTIONS AND THEIR LIMITING BEHAVIOR OF COUPLED NONLINEAR SCHRDINGER SYSTEMS

We study the multiplicity of positive solutions and their limiting behavior as ε tends to zero for a class of coupled nonlinear Schrdinger system in RN . We relate the number of positive solutions to the topology of the set of minimum points of the least energy function for ε suffciently small. Also, we verify that these solutions concentrate at a global minimum point of the least energy function.

A CLASS OF MULTIWAVELETS AND PROJECTED FRAMES FROM TWO-DIRECTION WAVELETS

This article aims at studying two-direction refinable functions and two-direction wavelets in the setting Rs, s 1. We give a sufficient condition for a two-direction refinable function belonging to L2(Rs). Then, two theorems are given for constructing biorthogonal(orthogonal) two-direction refinable functions in L2(Rs) and their biorthogonal(orthogonal) two-direction wavelets, respectively. From the constructed biorthogonal(orthogonal)two-direction wavelets, symmetric biorthogonal(orthogonal) multiwaveles in L2(Rs) can be obtained easily. Applying the projection method to biorthogonal(orthogonal) two-direction wavelets in L2(Rs), we can get dual(tight) two-direction wavelet frames in L2(Rm), where m ≤ s. From the projected dual(tight) two-direction wavelet frames in L2(Rm), symmetric dual(tight) frames in L2(Rm) can be obtained easily. In the end, an example is given to illustrate theoretical results.
