Exact solutions of the spherically symmetric gravitational field equations

The Einstein gravitational equations in the spherically symmetric case and for the dust model (i.e., p = 0) have been studied by several authors. However, the solutions obtained by them are not completed yet, and the corresponding metric is written in implicit forms which is inconvenient for physical problems. In the present paper we make the following improvements: (1) We obtain all spherical solutions for the dust model with explicit expressions which consist of three classes and an exceptional case; (2) All these solutions contain singularities which are analyzed together with their physical properties. __________ Translated from Journal of Fudan University (Natural Science), 1974, 1: 92–98 An erratum to this article is available at .     

Invariant solutions of one-dimensional equations of two-temperature relaxation gas dynamics

The group analysis method is applied to the plane one-dimensional equations of two-temperature gas dynamics. The complete classification of the equations with respect to admitted Lie group is studied. All invariant solutions are analyzed and their comparisons with the known invariant solutions of the ideal gas dynamics system are presented.     

Shrinkage estimators of the location parameter for certain spherically symmetric distributions

We consider estimation of a location vector for particular subclasses of spherically symmetric distributions in the presence of a known or unknown scale parameter. Specifically, for these spherically symmetric distributions we obtain slightly more general conditions and larger classes of estimators than Brandwein and Strawderman (1991,Ann. Statist.,19, 1639–1650) under which estimators of the formX +ag(X) dominateX for quadratic loss, concave functions of quadratic loss and general quadratic loss.Research supported by NSF grant DMS-88-22622     

Global existence of the radially symmetric solutions of the Navier–Stokes equations for the isentropic compressible fluids

We study the isentropic compressible Navier–Stokes equations with radially symmetric data in an annular domain. We first prove the global existence and regularity results on the radially symmetric weak solutions with non‐negative bounded densities. Then we prove the global existence of radially symmetric strong solutions when the initial data ρ₀, u ₀ satisfy the compatibility condition for some radially symmetric g ∈ L². The initial density ρ₀ needs not be positive. We also prove some uniqueness results on the strong solutions. Copyright © 2004 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

Existence of finite energy weak solutions for the equations MHD of compressible fluids

This article concerns the existence of global weak solutions for a compressible Magnetohydrodynamic model. We assume the viscosity and the resistivity to be constant and we prove that Feireisl and Lions's strategies dedicated to the usual barotropic compressible flows may be extended to our system. The only difficulty to be taken into account is the magnetic field dependency. The case with density-dependent viscosity and resistivity coefficients will be treated in a forthcoming paper following Bresch and Desjardins's strategy.     

Some uniform estimates and blowup behavior of global strong solutions to the Stokes approximation equations for two-dimensional compressible flows

This paper concerns the global existence and the large time behavior of strong and classical solutions to the two-dimensional (2D) Stokes approximation equations for the compressible flows. We consider the unique global strong solution or classical solution to the 2D Stokes approximation equations for the compressible flows together with the space-periodicity boundary condition or the no-stick boundary condition or Cauchy problem for arbitrarily large initial data. First, we prove that the density is bounded from above independent of time in all these cases. Secondly, we show that for the space-periodicity boundary condition or the no-stick boundary condition, if the initial density contains vacuum at least at one point, then the global strong (or classical) solution must blow up as time goes to infinity.     

Global weak solutions to a class of compressible non-Newtonian fluids with vacuum

The global weak solution of an initial-boundary value problem for a compressible non-Newtonian fluid is studied in a three-dimensional bounded domain. By the techniques of artificial pressure, a solution to the initial-boundary value problem is constructed through an approximation scheme and a weak convergence method. The existence of a global weak solution to the three-dimensional compressible non-Newtonian fluid with vacuum and large data is established.     

On spherically symmetric solutions of the relativistic Euler equation

This work investigates the spherical symmetric solutions of more realistic equation of states. We generalize the method of Hsu et al. (Methods Appl. Anal. 8 (2001) 159) to show the existence of spherical symmetric weak solution of the relativistic Euler equation with initial data containing the vacuum state.     

Numerical treatment of the spherically symmetric solutions of a generalized Fisher-Kolmogorov-Petrovsky-Piscounov equation

In the present work, the connection of the generalized Fisher-KPP equation to physical and biological fields is noted. Radially symmetric solutions to the generalized Fisher-KPP equation are considered, and analytical results for the positivity and asymptotic stability of solutions to the corresponding time-independent elliptic differential equation are quoted. An energy analysis of the generalized theory is carried out with further physical applications in mind, and a numerical method that consistently approximates the energy of the system and its rate of change is presented. The method is thoroughly tested against analytical and numerical results on the classical Fisher-KPP equation, the Heaviside equation, and the generalized Fisher-KPP equation with logistic nonlinearity and Heaviside initial profile, obtaining as a result that our method is highly stable and accurate, even in the presence of discontinuities. As an application, we establish numerically that, under the presence of suitable initial conditions, there exists a threshold for the relaxation time with the property that solutions to the problems considered are nonnegative if and only if the relaxation time is below a critical value. An analytical prediction is provided for the Heaviside equation, against which we verify the validity of our computational code, and numerical approximations are provided for several generalized Fisher-KPP problems.     

Symmetry groups and similarity solutions for the system of equations for a viscous compressible fluid

Here, using Lie group transformations, we consider the problem of finding similarity solutions to the system of partial differential equations (PDEs) governing one-dimensional unsteady motion of a compressible fluid in the presence of viscosity and thermal conduction, using the general form of the equation of state. The symmetry groups admitted by the governing system of PDEs are obtained, and the complete Lie algebra of infinitesimal symmetries is established. Indeed, with the use of the entailed similarity solution the problem is transformed to a system of ordinary differential equations(ODEs), which in general is nonlinear; in some cases, it is possible to solve these ODEs to determine some special exact solutions.     

On global existence of solutions to a cross-diffusion system

We consider a strongly coupled nonlinear parabolic system which arises in population dynamics in n-dimensional domains (n?1). We prove the global existence of classical solutions to the system for n<10.     

Global strong solutions for a class of compressible non‐Newtonian fluids with vacuum

We study a class of compressible non‐Newtonian fluids in one space dimension. We prove, by using iterative method, the global time existence and uniqueness of strong solutions provided that the initial data satisfy a compatibility condition and the initial density is small in its H¹‐norm. The main difficulty is due to the strong nonlinearity of the system and the initial vacuum. Copyright © 2010 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

Critical mass phenomenon for a chemotaxis kinetic model with spherically symmetric initial data

The goal of this paper is to exhibit a critical mass phenomenon occurring in a model for cell self-organization via chemotaxis. The very well-known dichotomy arising in the behavior of the macroscopic Keller–Segel system is derived at the kinetic level, being closer to microscopic features. Indeed, under the assumption of spherical symmetry, we prove that solutions with initial data of large mass blow-up in finite time, whereas solutions with initial data of small mass do not. Blow-up is the consequence of a momentum computation and the existence part is derived from a comparison argument. Spherical symmetry is crucial within the two approaches. We also briefly investigate the drift-diffusion limit of such a kinetic model. We recover partially at the limit the Keller–Segel criterion for blow-up, thus arguing in favour of a global link between the two models.     

Uniform boundedness and stability of global solutions in a strongly coupled three-species cooperating model

Using the energy estimate and Gagliardo–Nirenberg-type inequalities, the existence and uniform boundedness of global solutions for a strongly coupled reaction–diffusion system are proved. This system is the Shigesada–Kawasaki–Teramoto three-species cooperating model with self- and cross-population pressure. Meanwhile, some criteria on the global asymptotic stability of the positive equilibrium point for the model are also given by Lyapunov function. As a by-product, we proved that only constant steady states exist if the diffusion coefficients are large enough.     

Analytic solutions for static spherically symmetric distribution of liquid in its gravitational self-field

Tolman's differential equations for the two components of the metric tensor of a spherically symmetric distribution of liquid are reduced to equations for two functions in which the derivative of one of them is expressed in terms of the other, and not only the components of the metric tensor but also the physical characteristics of the continuous medium are expressed in terms of these functions. Arbitrary choice of the second function generates different self-consistent solutions. By means of the simplest choices of this function, two single-parameter solutions are found — one for a gas and the other for a liquid.Translated from Teoreticheskaya i Matematicheskaya Fizika, Vol. 95, No. 1, pp. 135–145, April, 1993.
