NODAL O（h^4）-SUPERCONVERGENCE IN 3D BY AVERAGING PIECEWISE LINEAR,BILINEAR, AND TRILINEAR FE APPROXIMATIONS

We construct and analyse a nodal O（h^4）-superconvergent FE scheme for approximating the Poisson equation with homogeneous boundary conditions in three-dimensional domains by means of piecewise trilinear functions. The scheme is based on averaging the equations that arise from FE approximations on uniform cubic, tetrahedral, and prismatic partitions. This approach presents a three-dimensional generalization of a two-dimensional averaging of linear and bilinear elements which also exhibits nodal O（h^4）-superconvergence （ultracon- vergence）. The obtained superconvergence result is illustrated by two numerical examples.     

N2O and O3 arctic column amounts from PARIS-IR observations: Retrievals, characterization and error analysis

Ground-based solar absorption infrared spectra were recorded in the Canadian Arctic during the early spring of 2004 using a moderate-resolution Fourier transform spectrometer, the Portable Atmospheric Research Interferometric Spectrometer for the Infrared (PARIS-IR). As part of the Canadian Arctic Atmospheric Chemistry Experiment (ACE) validation campaign, the PARIS-IR instrument recorded solar absorption spectra of the atmosphere from February to March 2004 as the Sun returned to the Arctic Stratospheric Ozone Observatory (AStrO) near Eureka, Nunavut, Canada (80.05°N, 86.42°W). In this paper, we briefly outline the PARIS-IR instrument configuration and data acquisition in the high Arctic. We discuss the retrieval methodology, characterization and error analysis associated with total and partial column retrievals. We compare the PARIS-IR measurements of N₂O and O₃ column amounts with those from the Fourier transform spectrometer (ACE-FTS) onboard the Canadian SCISAT-1 satellite and the ozonesonde data obtained at Eureka during the validation campaign.     

Limit Cycles Bifurcating from a k-dimensional Isochronous Center Contained in ?n with k ? n

The goal of this paper is double. First, we illustrate a method for studying the bifurcation of limit cycles from the continuum periodic orbits of a k-dimensional isochronous center contained in ℝ ⁿ with n ⩾ k, when we perturb it in a class of differential systems. The method is based in the averaging theory. Second, we consider a particular polynomial differential system in the plane having a center and a non-rational first integral. Then we study the bifurcation of limit cycles from the periodic orbits of this center when we perturb it in the class of all polynomial differential systems of a given degree. As far as we know this is one of the first examples that this study can be made for a polynomial differential system having a center and a non-rational first integral.

Random perturbations of dynamical systems and diffusion processes with conservation laws

In this paper we consider random perturbations of dynamical systems and diffusion processes with a first integral. We calculate, under some assumptions, the limiting behavior of the slow component of the perturbed system in an appropriate time scale for a general class of perturbations. The phase space of the slow motion is a graph defined by the first integral. This is a natural generalization of the results concerning random perturbations of Hamiltonian systems. Considering diffusion processes as the unperturbed system allows to study the multidimensional case and leads to a new effect: the limiting slow motion can spend non-zero time at some points of the graph. In particular, such delay at the vertices leads to more general gluing conditions. Our approach allows one to obtain new results on singular perturbations of PDEs.

Macroscopic modelling of transport phenomena in porous media. 1: The continuum approach

This is the first of two papers presenting a systematic development of a continuum model of a porous medium and of transport processes occurring in it. The concept of a Representative Elementary Volume (REV) as opposed to any arbitrary volume of averaging quantities at the micro-scale, is quantified. A universal criterion for selecting the size of an REV as a function of measurable characteristics of a porous medium and selected tolerance levels of estimation errors, is developed. The rules of spatial averaging are extended by including the effects of both the configuration of the solid matrix and of interphase transfer phenomena within an REV.     

Averaging analyses for spacecraft orbital motions around asteroids

This paper summarizes a few cases of spacecraft orbital motion around asteroid for which averaging method can be applied, i.e., when central body rotates slowly, fast, and when a spacecraft is near to the resonant orbits between the spacecraft mean motion and the central body＇s rotation. Averaging conditions for these cases are given. As a major extension, a few classes of near resonant orbits are analyzed by the averaging method. Then some resulted conclusions of these averaging analyses are applied to understand the stabil- ity regions in a numerical experiment. Some stability conclu- sions are obtained. As a typical example, it is shown in detail that near circular 1 ： 2 resonant orbit is always unstable.     

On the problem of interfacial damage in fibre-reinforced composites under variable loads

In this paper, the theoretical background for the failure analysis of fibre-reinforced composites under variable repeated loads in the framework of direct methods is presented. It is based on a local shakedown analysis in a representative volume element of the composite and the use of averaging techniques to study the influence of each component (matrix, fibre and interface) on the macroscopic response of such composite.
