On weak–strong uniqueness for the compressible Navier–Stokes system with non-monotone pressure law

We show the weak–strong uniqueness property for the compressible Navier–Stokes system with general non-monotone pressure law. A weak solution coincides with the strong solution emanating from the same initial data as long as the latter solution exists.     

The coupled-cluster formalism – a mathematical perspective

ABSTRACT

The Coupled-Cluster (CC) theory is one of the most successful high precision methods used to solve the stationary Schrödinger equation. In this article, we address the mathematical foundation of this theory with focus on the advances made in the past decade. Rather than solely relying on spectral gap assumptions (non-degeneracy of the ground state), we highlight the importance of coercivity assumptions – Gårding type inequalities – for the local uniqueness of the CC solution. Based on local strong monotonicity, different sufficient conditions for a local unique solution are suggested. One of the criteria assumes the relative smallness of the total cluster amplitudes (after possibly removing the single amplitudes) compared to the Gårding constants. In the extended CC theory the Lagrange multipliers are wave function parameters and, by means of the bivariational principle, we here derive a connection between the exact cluster amplitudes and the Lagrange multipliers. This relation might prove useful when determining the quality of a CC solution. Furthermore, the use of an Aubin–Nitsche duality type method in different CC approaches is discussed and contrasted with the bivariational principle.     

Regularized gap functions and error bounds for split mixed vector quasivariational inequality problems

In this paper, we consider a class of split mixed vector quasivariational inequality problems in real Hilbert spaces and establish new gap functions by using the method of the nonlinear scalarization function. Further, we obtain some error bounds for the underlying split mixed vector quasivariational inequality problems in terms of regularized gap functions. Finally, we give some examples to illustrate our results. The results obtained in this paper are new.

Strong cliques in vertex-transitive graphs

A clique (resp, independent set) in a graph is strong if it intersects every maximal independent set (resp, every maximal clique). A graph is clique intersect stable set (CIS) if all of its maximal cliques are strong and localizable if it admits a partition of its vertex set into strong cliques. In this paper we prove that a clique $C$ in a vertex-transitive graph $\mathrm{\Gamma }$ is strong if and only if $\text{◂=▸}\text{◂⋅▸}\mid C\mid \mid I\mid =\mid V\left(\mathrm{\Gamma }\right)\mid$ for every maximal independent set $I$ of $\mathrm{\Gamma }$. On the basis of this result we prove that a vertex-transitive graph is CIS if and only if it admits a strong clique and a strong independent set. We classify all vertex-transitive graphs of valency at most 4 admitting a strong clique, and give a partial characterization of 5-valent vertex-transitive graphs admitting a strong clique. Our results imply that every vertex-transitive graph of valency at most 5 that admits a strong clique is localizable. We answer an open question by providing an example of a vertex-transitive CIS graph which is not localizable.     

强点火作用下C3HF7对甲烷-空气爆炸的抑制

为解决瓦斯输送过程中的爆炸安全问题,探索寻找绿色环保且阻火性能优越的新型抑爆剂,开展了当量比下甲烷-空气预混气体爆炸传播过程中的七氟丙烷抑爆效果研究。实验采用长径比L/D=108的水平管道爆炸特性测试系统,研究了在强点火作用下不同体积分数的七氟丙烷对9.5%甲烷-空气预混气体最大爆炸压力、最大压力上升速率和火焰传播速度的影响。实验结果显示:将2.5 m长的管段作为七氟丙烷抑爆区时,七氟丙烷阻断9.5%甲烷-空气预混气体爆炸火焰传播的最小体积分数为5%;当七氟丙烷的体积分数为1%~4%时,不仅无法阻断爆炸火焰的传播,而且与对照组相比,会使火焰传播速度加快;当七氟丙烷的体积分数为1%~6%时,爆炸源及管道末端处的爆炸压力峰值随着七氟丙烷体积分数的增加而逐渐减小;当七氟丙烷的体积分数为3%时,抑爆区处的爆炸压力峰值与对照组相比增幅为10.9%。     

Properties of bounded stochastic processes employed in biophysics

Abstract

Realistic stochastic modeling is increasingly requiring the use of bounded noises. In this work, properties and relationships of commonly employed bounded stochastic processes are investigated within a solid mathematical ground. Four families are object of investigation: the Sine-Wiener (SW), the Doering–Cai–Lin (DCL), the Tsallis–Stariolo–Borland (TSB), and the Kessler–Sørensen (KS) families. We address mathematical questions on existence and uniqueness of the processes defined through Stochastic Differential Equations, which often conceal non-obvious behavior, and we explore the behavior of the solutions near the boundaries of the state space. The expression of the time-dependent probability density of the Sine-Wiener noise is provided in closed form, and a close connection with the Doering–Cai–Lin noise is shown. Further relationships among the different families are explored, pathwise and in distribution. Finally, we illustrate an analogy between the Kessler–Sørensen family and Bessel processes, which allows to relate the respective local times at the boundaries.
