Global attractor for the Navier–Stokes equations with the heat convection in a cylindrical pipe

Global existence of regular solutions to the Navier–Stokes equations coupled with the heat convection in a cylindrical pipe has already been shown. In this paper, we prove the existence of the global attractor to the equations and convergence of their solutions to a stationary one. Copyright © 2012 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

Evolutionary variational inequalities with a volterra term

The mathematical model of the injection molding process is characterized by evolutionary inequalities with an elliptic principal part and a Volterra term. Existence and uniqueness of the solution of these problems are derived by means of an argument based on the Banach fixed point theorem. Regularity results are obtained by using the penalty and Rothe method. The results can be considered as a starting point for the numerical treatment and for the application to injection molding.     

An active-set projected trust-region algorithm with limited memory BFGS technique for box-constrained nonsmooth equations

In this article, by means of an active set and limited memory strategy, we propose a trust-region method for box-constrained nonsmooth equations. The global convergence and the superlinear convergence are established under suitable conditions.     

Global hysteresis in ferroelectrics with incommensurate phases

A review of the basic experimental results connected with the formation of long-living metastable states in the incommensurate phases of ferroelectric crystals and related phenomena is given. The interpretation and appropriate physical mechanisms underlying the global hysteresis phenomena associated with these states are considered.     

Two optimal Dai–Liao conjugate gradient methods

Two adaptive choices for the parameter of Dai–Liao conjugate gradient (CG) method are suggested. One of which is obtained by minimizing the distance between search directions of Dai–Liao method and a three-term CG method proposed by Zhang et al. and the other one is obtained by minimizing Frobenius condition number of the search direction matrix. Global convergence analyses are made briefly. Numerical results are reported; they demonstrate effectiveness of the suggested adaptive choices.     

A perturbed martingale approach to global optimization

A new global stochastic search, guided mainly through derivative-free directional information computable from the sample statistical moments of the design variables within a Monte Carlo setup, is proposed. The search is aided by imparting to the directional update term additional layers of random perturbations referred to as ‘coalescence’ and ‘scrambling’. A selection step, constituting yet another avenue for random perturbation, completes the global search. The direction-driven nature of the search is manifest in the local extremization and coalescence components, which are posed as martingale problems that yield gain-like update terms upon discretization. As anticipated and numerically demonstrated, to a limited extent, against the problem of parameter recovery given the chaotic response histories of a couple of nonlinear oscillators, the proposed method appears to offer a more rational, more accurate and faster alternative to most available evolutionary schemes, prominently the particle swarm optimization.

Approximation by an iterative method of a low‐Mach model with temperature dependent viscosity

In this work, we prove the existence and the uniqueness of the strong solution of a low‐Mach model, for which the dynamic viscosity of the fluid is a given function of its temperature. The method is based on the convergence study of a sequence towards the solution, for which the rates are also given. The originality of the approach is to consider the system in terms of the temperature and the velocity, leading to a nonlinear temperature equation and the development of some specific tools and results.
