Existence of multi-bump solutions for a system with critical exponent in RN

We consider the following system with critical exponent in ${\mathbb{R}}^N$:$\{\begin{array}{c}?\mathrm{\Delta }u=K_1(y)u^{2^{?}?1}+\frac{p}{2^{?}}V(y)u^{p?1}{v}^q\text{in}{\mathbb{R}}^N,\hfill \\ ?\mathrm{\Delta }v=K_2(y)v^{2^{?}?1}+\frac{q}{2^{?}}V(y)u^p{v}^{q?1}\text{in}{\mathbb{R}}^N,\hfill \\ u,v>0,y\in {\mathbb{R}}^N,\hfill \end{array}$ where $N\ge 5$, $p,q>1$ and $p+q=2^{?}=\frac{2N}{N?2}$. Using finite dimensional reduction method, we prove the existence of multi-bump solutions. Their bumps can be placed on arbitrarily many or even infinitely many lattice points in ${\mathbb{R}}^N$. Since $p<2$ or $q<2$, we introduce two new norms to avoid singularity.     

Lamb波频域逆散射全聚焦成像方法研究

Lamb波因其传播距离远、衰减小常被用于板状结构的无损检测中,在基于Lamb波损伤检测的诸多成像技术中,全聚焦方法(Total Focus Method,TFM)方法因其成像分辨率高、信噪比高而受青睐。然而Lamb波的频散效应导致时域延时量不能被准确计算,进而影响传统TFM方法对损伤定位及成像的精度;此外,既有的TFM方法仅以回波幅值作为成像指标,忽略了Lamb波与损伤的相互作用,故而不能通过损伤表面的物理参数增强成像质量。针对这两个问题,本文首先在时域TFM基础上发展了频域TFM,在计算中纳入频散关系以规避频散的影响;其次以包含明确的损伤特征参数--反射率为成像指标,结合频域TFM方法建立损伤逆散射模型,以实现对损伤的准确成像。仿真和实验结果表明:频域逆散射TFM成像方法能够实现对铝板结构中的损伤检测,在工程实践中具有应用价值。

Autonomous conveyer gel driven by frontal polymerization

Autonomous mechanical mass transportation for cargos on the microscale with no need of continuous external powering is of great scientific and technological interest due to their extensive applications. However, it is still challenging to create a self‐driven system applicable to diverse micromaterial transportation demands. In this work, we developed a novel autonomous conveyer gel driven by frontal polymerization (FP). The chemical wave produced in FP was stable, and self‐propagating with a constant velocity, which can be easily monitored by thermal imaging or fluorescence labeling. We investigated the influence of the initiation temperature, swelling ratio of the gel substrate, and the size of the cargos on the motion of driven behavior. Results showed that the driving velocity can be well controlled by altering the initiation temperatures of FP. The swelling ratio and the size of the cargos had a key impact on the feasibility of self‐driven behavior. In addition, powerful driven capability by FP was demonstrated by successfully transporting cargos in series, and further applied for targeted synthesis of CdS nanocrystals. The methodology developed here provides an effective way to convert chemical energy to mechanical work, and may be useful in energy conversion and utilization, mass transportation and other applications. © 2015 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Disjoining pressure and the film-height-dependent surface tension of thin liquid films: New insight from capillary wave fluctuations

In this paper we review simulation and experimental studies of thermal capillary wave fluctuations as an ideal means for probing the underlying disjoining pressure and surface tensions, and more generally, fine details of the Interfacial Hamiltonian Model. We discuss recent simulation results that reveal a film-height-dependent surface tension not accounted for in the classical Interfacial Hamiltonian Model. We show how this observation may be explained bottom-up from sound principles of statistical thermodynamics and discuss some of its implications.     

Inflation,Cosmic Perturbations and Non-Gaussianities

We review the theory of inflationary perturbations. Perturbations at both linear and nonlinear orders are reviewed. We also review a variety of inflation models, emphasizing their signatures on cosmic perturbations.     

Rethinking pedagogy for second-order differential equations: a simplified approach to understanding well-posed problems

Knowing an equation has a unique solution is important from both a modelling and theoretical point of view. For over 70 years, the approach to learning and teaching ‘well posedness’ of initial value problems (IVPs) for second- and higher-order ordinary differential equations has involved transforming the problem and its analysis to a first-order system of equations. We show that this excursion is unnecessary and present a direct approach regarding second- and higher-order problems that does not require an understanding of systems.     

Applications of ‐invariant distributions

In this sequel to the article 17 , a criterion for the regularity of fundamental solutions of differential operators with positive symbol is proved in analogy to Hörmander's criteria, see 9 , 12 . It implies that the temperate fundamental solution of the operator is not regular. Furthermore, a formula for the convolution of two ‐invariant distributions is presented, and, finally, L. Schwartz' question on the surjectivity of linear partial differential operators with constant coefficients on the space is completely answered in the case of ‐invariant differential operators.     

Existence and Exponential Decay of Solutions for a Wave Equation with Integral Nonlocal Boundary Conditions of Memory Type

In this paper, we consider a wave equation with integral nonlocal boundary conditions of memory type. First, we establish two local existence theorems by using Faedo–Galerkin method and standard arguments of density. Next, we give a su?cient condition to guarantee the global existence and exponential decay of weak solutions. Finally, we present numerical results.     

Pseudo–almost‐periodic solutions for delayed differential equations with integrable dichotomies and bi–almost‐periodic Green functions

Using the existence of integrable bi–almost‐periodic Green functions of linear homogeneous differential equations and the contraction fixed point, we are able to prove the existence of almost and pseudo–almost‐periodic mild solutions under quite general hypotheses for the differential equation with constant delay in a Banach space X, where τ>0 is a fixed constant. The results extend the corresponding ones in the case of exponential dichotomy. Some examples illustrate the importance of the concepts.
