Exact boundary controllability for 1‐D quasilinear wave equations with dynamical boundary conditions

By equivalently replacing the dynamical boundary condition by a kind of nonlocal boundary conditions, and noting a hidden regularity of solution on the boundary with a dynamical boundary condition, a constructive method with modular structure is used to get the local exact boundary controllability for 1‐D quasilinear wave equations with dynamical boundary conditions.

The global weak solution for the shallow water wave model of moderate amplitude

In this paper, we firstly establish the existence theorem of the global weak solutions of the Cauchy problem for the shallow water wave model of moderate amplitude, then following the idea in Xin and Zhang’s work (see Xin and Zhang, 2002), we prove the uniqueness of global weak solutions using the localization analysis in the transport equation theory. Finally, several travelling wave solutions are derived.     

Analytical examples of diffusive waves generated by a traveling wave

We construct analytical solutions for a system composed of a reaction–diffusion equation coupled with a purely diffusive equation. The question is to know if the traveling wave solutions of the reaction–diffusion equation can generate a traveling wave for the diffusion equation. Our motivation comes from the calcic wave, generated after fertilization within the egg cell endoplasmic reticulum, and propagating within the egg cell. We consider both the monostable (Fisher–KPP type) and bistable cases. We use a piecewise linear reaction term so as to build explicit solutions, which leads us to compute exponential tails whose exponents are roots of second-, third-, or fourth-order polynomials. These raise conditions on the coefficients for existence of a traveling wave of the diffusion equation. The question of positivity and monotonicity is only partially answered.     

Computation of waveguide scattering matrix near thresholds

A waveguide occupies infinite strip with one or several narrows on a two-dimensional (2D) plane and is governed by the Helmholtz equation with Dirichlet boundary condition. On the waveguide continuous spectrum, which coincides with a half-axis, a scattering matrix is defined. At each point of the continuous spectrum this matrix has finite size, which changes at thresholds. The thresholds form a sequence of positive numbers increasing to infinity. Approximate calculation of the scattering matrix in a threshold vicinity requires special treatment. We discuss and compare two methods of numerical approximation to the scattering matrix near a threshold.     

O3 and SO2 sensing concept on extended surface of B12N12 nanocages modified by Nickel decoration: A comprehensive DFT study

Adsorption of SO₂ and O₃ molecules on pristine boron nitride (B₁₂N₁₂) and Ni-decorated B₁₂N₁₂ nano-cages has been systemically investigated through density functional theory (DFT) methods. Adsorption energies (thermodynamics), bond distances, charge analysis, dipole moments, orbital analysis and density of states are calculated by van der Waals DFT method (MPW1PW91) functional. The adsorption energies of O₃ and SO₂ on pristine B₁₂N₁₂ are about −143.8 and −14.0 kJ mol⁻¹, respectively. The interaction energies of O₃ and SO₂ with pristine B₁₂N₁₂ are indicative of chemisorption and physisorption, respectively. Ni-decorated B₁₂N₁₂ (Ni@BN) enhances adsorption of both O₃ and SO₂ species. The interaction energies for adsorption of SO₂ are about −166 and −277 kJ mol⁻¹ whereas the corresponding energies for O₃ are −362 and −396 kJ mol⁻¹ for configuration A and B, respectively. These observations show that functionalized B₁₂N₁₂ are highly sensitive toward SO₂ and O₃ molecules.     

Equality of the homogeneous and the Gabor wave front set

We prove that Hörmander’s global wave front set and Nakamura’s homogeneous wave front set of a tempered distribution coincide. In addition, we construct a tempered distribution with a given wave front set, and we develop a pseudodifferential calculus adapted to Nakamura’s homogeneous wave front set.     

A fast discontinuous finite element discretization for the space‐time fractional diffusion‐wave equation

In this article, we study fast discontinuous Galerkin finite element methods to solve a space‐time fractional diffusion‐wave equation. We introduce a piecewise‐constant discontinuous finite element method for solving this problem and derive optimal error estimates. Importantly, a fast solution technique to accelerate Toeplitz matrix‐vector multiplications which arise from discontinuous Galerkin finite element discretization is developed. This fast solution technique is based on fast Fourier transform and it depends on the special structure of coefficient matrices. In each temporal step, it helps to reduce the computational work from required by the traditional methods to log , where is the size of the coefficient matrices (number of spatial grid points). Moreover, the applicability and accuracy of the method are verified by numerical experiments including both continuous and discontinuous examples to support our theoretical analysis.© 2017 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
