DECAY RATES TOWARD STATIONARY WAVES OF SOLUTIONS FOR DAMPED WAVE EQUATIONS

Abstract This paper is concerned with the initial-boundary value problem for damped wave equations with a nonlinear convection term in the half space R＋{utt-txx＋ut＋f（u）x=0,t〉0,x∈R＋,u（0,x）=u0（x）→u＋,asx→＋∞,ut（0,x）=u1（x）,u（t,0）=ub.For the non-degenerate case f]（u＋） 〈 0, it is shown in [1] that the above initialboundary value problem admits a unique global solution u（t,x） which converges to the stationary wave φ（x） uniformly in x ∈ R＋ as time tends to infinity provided that the initial perturbation and/or the strength of the stationary wave are sufficiently small. Moreover, by using the space-time weighted energy method initiated by Kawashima and Matsumura [2], the convergence rates （including the algebraic convergence rate and the exponential convergence rate） of u（t, x） toward φ（x） are also obtained in [1]. We note, however, that the analysis in [1] relies heavily on the assumption that f＇（ub） 〈 0. The main purpose of this paper is devoted to discussing the case of f＇（ub）= 0 and we show that similar results still hold for such a case. Our analysis is based on some delicate energy estimates.

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.     

NUMERICAL LOCALIZATION OF ELECTROMAGNETIC IMPERFECTIONS FROM A PERTURBATION FORMULA IN THREE DIMENSIONS

This work deals with the numerical localization of small electromagnetic inhomogeneities. The underlying inverse problem considers, in a three-dimensional bounded domain, the time-harmonic Maxwell equations formulated in electric field. Typically, the domain contains a finite number of unknown inhomogeneities of small volume and the inverse problem attempts to localize these inhomogeneities from a finite number of boundary measurements. Our localization approach is based on a recent framework that uses an asymptotic expansion for the perturbations in the tangential boundary trace of the curl of the electric field. We present three numerical localization procedures resulting from the combination of this asymptotic expansion with each of the following inversion algorithms： the Current Projection method, the MUltiple Signal Classification （MUSIC） algorithm, and an Inverse Fourier method. We perform a numerical study of the asymptotic expansion and compare the numerical results obtained from the three localization procedures in different settings.     

Asymptotic Behavior of Solution to Some Models Involving Two Species All with Chemotaxis

This paper is concerned with the asymptotic behavior of solution to the following model involving two species all with chemotaxis：{αp/αt=Dp△（p△lnp/w）,αp/αt=Dq△（q△lnq/w）,αw/αt=βp-δw,p△ln（p/w）.^-n=q△ln（q/w）.^-n=0.We prove that the solution exists globally asβ ≥ 0. Asβ 〈 0, whether the solution exists globally or not depends on the initial data. By function transformation and compari- son, the asymptotical behavior of the solution is studied.     

On Global Smooth Solution of A Semi-Linear System of Wave Equations in IR^3

In this paper we consider the Cauchy problem for a semi-linear system of wave equations with Hamilton structure. We prove the existence of global smooth solution of the system for subcritical case by using conservation of energy and Strichartz＇s estimate. On the basis of Morawetz-Pohozev identity, we obtain the same result for the critical case.

This paper discuses three types of phase synchronization phenomena in extended Kuramoto model. A certain quadratic form is applied to analyze the stability of phase synchronization manifolds without any stability knowledge for error systems. Some simple and convenient criteria are obtained for these types of phase synchronization. Also, the effectiveness of the proposed criteria is illustrated successfully by an example.     

A MONOTONE DOMAIN DECOMPOSITION ALGORITHM FOR SOLVING WEIGHTED AVERAGE APPROXIMATIONS TO NONLINEAR SINGULARLY PERTURBED PARABOLIC PROBLEMS

This paper presents and analyzes a monotone domain decomposition algorithm for solving nonlinear singularly perturbed reaction-diffusion problems of parabolic type. To solve the nonlinear weighted average finite difference scheme for the partial differential equation, we construct a monotone domain decomposition algorithm based on a Schwarz alternating method and a box-domain decomposition. This algorithm needs only to solve linear discrete systems at each iterative step and converges monotonically to the exact solution of the nonlinear discrete problem. domain decomposition algorithm is estimated The rate of convergence of the monotone Numerical experiments are presented.     

THREE POSITIVE SOLUTIONS TO BVP FOR p-LAPLACIAN IMPULSIVE FUNCTIONAL DYNAMIC EQUATIONS ON A TIME SCALE

In this paper, we axe interested in the existence of three positive solutions to a BVP for p-Laplacian impulsive functional dynamic equations on a time scale. Using the five-functional fixed theory, we establish a Banach space and an appropriate operator. In this paper, we combine the delta-nabla p-Laplacian BVP with impulsive functional dynamic equations, and obtain some new sufficient conditions for the existence of three positive solutions to the BVP, and our result here generalizes the previous related results.

ASYMPTOTIC DECAY TOWARD RAREFACTION WAVE FOR A HYPERBOLIC-ELLIPTIC COUPLED SYSTEM ON HALF SPACE

We consider the asymptotic behavior of solutions to a model of hyperbolicelliptic coupled system on the half-line R＋ = （0, ∞）,with the Dirichlet boundary condition u（0, t） = 0. S. Kawashima and Y. Tanaka [Kyushu J. Math., 58（2004）, 211-250] have shown that the solution to the corresponding Cauchy problem behaviors like rarefaction waves and obtained its convergence rate when u_ u＋. Our main concern in this paper is the boundary effect. In the case of null-Dirichlet boundary condition on u, asymptotic behavior of the solution （u, q） is proved to be rarefaction wave as t tends to infinity. Its convergence rate is also obtained by the standard L2-energy method and Ll-estimate. It decays much lower than that of the corresponding Cauchy problem.

Under some suitable assumptions we obtain some results which ensure the existence of well precise interval of parameter for which the problem admits multiple solutions.     

EXISTENCE AND UNIQUENESS OF SOLUTIONS TO A CLASS OF NONLINEAR FRACTIONAL ORDER DIFFERENTIAL EQUATIONS WITH DELAY

A class of nonlinear fractional order differential equations with delay is investigated in this paper.

A MONOTONE COMPACT IMPLICIT SCHEME FOR NONLINEAR REACTION-DIFFUSION EQUATIONS

A monotone compact implicit finite difference scheme with fourth-order accuracy in space and second-order in time is proposed for solving nonlinear reaction-diffusion equations. An accelerated monotone iterative method for the resulting discrete problem is presented. The sequence of iteration converges monotonically to the unique solution of the discrete problem, and the convergence rate is either quadratic or nearly quadratic, depending on the property of the nonlinear reaction. The numerical results illustrate the high accuracy of the proposed scheme and the rapid convergence rate of.the iteration.     

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.     

BIFURCATION ANALYSIS IN A GENERALIZED FRICTION MODEL WITH TIME-DELAYED FEEDBACK

In this paper, we consider a generalized model of the two friction models, both of which have two different types of control forces with time-delayed feedback proposed by Ashesh Sara et al. By taking the time delay as the bifurcation parameter, we discuss the local stability of the Hopf bifurcations. Under some condition, the generalized model harbors a phenomenon that the equilibrium may undergo finite switches from stability to instability to stability and finally become unstable. By applying the method introduced by Faria and Magalhaes, we compute the normal form on the center manifold to determine the direction and stability of the Hopf bifurcations. Numerical simulations are carried out and more than one periodic solutions may exist according to the bifurcation diagram given by BIFTOOL. Finally a brief conclusion is presented.
