Analysis of a new multispecies tumor growth model coupling 3D phase-fields with a 1D vascular network

In this work, we present and analyze a mathematical model for tumor growth incorporating ECM erosion, interstitial flow, and the effect of vascular flow and nutrient transport. The model is of phase-field or diffused-interface type in which multiple phases of cell species and other constituents are separated by smooth evolving interfaces. The model involves a mesoscale version of Darcy’s law to capture the flow mechanism in the tissue matrix. Modeling flow and transport processes in the vasculature supplying the healthy and cancerous tissue, one-dimensional (1D) equations are considered. Since the models governing the transport and flow processes are defined together with cell species models on a three-dimensional (3D) domain, we obtain a 3D–1D coupled model.     

von Neumann’s trace inequality for Hilbert–Schmidt operators

von Neumann’s inequality in matrix theory refers to the fact that the Frobenius scalar product of two matrices is less than or equal to the scalar product of the respective singular values. Moreover, equality can only happen if the two matrices share a joint set of singular vectors, and this latter part is hard to find in the literature. We extend these facts to the separable Hilbert space setting, and provide a self-contained proof of the “latter part”.     

On generalized perfect difference sets constructed from Sidon sets

Let $\mathbb{N}$ be the set of positive integers. For a nonempty set A of integers and every integer u, denote by $d_A(u)$ the number of $(a,a^{\prime })$ with $a,a^{\prime }\in A$ such that $u=a-a^{\prime }$. For a sequence S of positive integers, let $S(x)$ be the counting function of S. The set $A\subseteq \mathbb{N}$ is called a perfect difference set if $d_A(u)=1$ for every positive integer u. In 2008, Cilleruelo and Nathanson (2008) [4] constructed dense perfect difference sets from dense Sidon sets. In this paper, as a main result, we prove that: let $f:\mathbb{N}\to \mathbb{N}$ be an increasing function satisfying $f(n)\ge 2$ for any positive integer n, then for every Sidon set B and every function $\omega (x)\to \infty$, there exists a set $A\subseteq \mathbb{N}$ such that $d_A(u)=f(u)$ for every positive integer u and $B(x/3)-\omega (x)\le A(x)\le B(x/3)+\omega (x)$ for all $x\ge C_{f,B,\omega }$.

Uniqueness in Harper’s vertex-isoperimetric theorem

For a set $A\subseteq Q_n={\left\{0,1\right\}}^n$ the $t$-neighbourhood of $A$ is $N^t\left(A\right)=\left\{x:d\left(x,A\right)\le t\right\}$, where $d$ denotes the usual graph distance on $Q_n$. Harper’s vertex-isoperimetric theorem states that among the subsets $A\subseteq Q_n$ of given size, the size of the $t$-neighbourhood is minimised when $A$ is taken to be an initial segment of the simplicial order. Aubrun and Szarek asked the following question: if $A\subseteq Q_n$ is a subset of given size for which the sizes of both $N^t\left(A\right)$ and $N^t\left(A^c\right)$ are minimal for all $t>0$, does it follow that $A$ is isomorphic to an initial segment of the simplicial order?Our aim is to give a counterexample. Surprisingly it turns out that there is no counterexample that is a Hamming ball, meaning a set that lies between two consecutive exact Hamming balls, i.e. a set $A$ with $B\left(x,r\right)\subseteq A\subseteq B\left(x,r+1\right)$ for some $x\in Q_n$. We go further to classify all the sets $A\subseteq Q_n$ for which the sizes of both $N^t\left(A\right)$ and $N^t\left(A^c\right)$ are minimal for all $t>0$ among the subsets of $Q_n$ of given size. We also prove that, perhaps surprisingly, if $A\subseteq Q_n$ for which the sizes of $N\left(A\right)$ and $N\left(A^c\right)$ are minimal among the subsets of $Q_n$ of given size, then the sizes of both $N^t\left(A\right)$ and $N^t\left(A^c\right)$ are also minimal for all $t>0$ among the subsets of $Q_n$ of given size. Hence the same classification also holds when we only require $N\left(A\right)$ and $N\left(A^c\right)$ to have minimal size among the subsets $A\subseteq Q_n$ of given size.     

An analysis of overlapping Schwarz method for a weakly coupled system of singularly perturbed convection-diffusion equations

In this article, we have developed an overlapping Schwarz method for a weakly coupled system of convection-diffusion equations. The method splits the original domain into two overlapping subdomains. A hybrid difference scheme is proposed in which on the boundary layer region, we use the central finite difference scheme on a uniform mesh, whereas on the nonlayer region, we use the mid-point difference scheme on a uniform mesh. It is shown that the numerical approximations converge in the maximum norm to the exact solution. We have proved that, when appropriate subdomains are used, the method produces almost second-order convergence. Furthermore, it is shown that two iterations are sufficient to achieve the expected accuracy. Numerical examples are presented to support the theoretical results. The main advantage of this method used with the proposed scheme is that it reduces iteration counts very much and easily identifies in which iteration the Schwarz iterate terminates.     

Existence of multiple and sign-changing solutions for a second-order nonlinear functional difference equation with periodic coefficients

In the present paper, we apply the method of invariant sets of descending flow to establish a series of criteria to ensure that a second-order nonlinear functional difference equation with periodic boundary conditions possesses at least one trivial solution and three nontrivial solutions. These nontrivial solutions consist of sign-changing solutions, positive solutions and negative solutions. Moreover, as an application of our theoretical results, an example is elaborated. Our results generalize and improve some existing ones.
