THE APPLICATION OF STABLE GROUPS TO BIOLOGICAL STRUCTURES

The properties of the stable group theory are discussed. The mathematical models of the insect legs, a pair of hands, and human chromosomes are established using stable group theory. The two postulates: the prime-number principle and the symmetric principle, and a new evolution theory in the biology are suggested. The brain structures and the structures of the nervous system can be studied using above two principles.     

Inequalities on the Triangle

The article deals with generalizations of the inequalities for convex functions on the triangle. The Jensen and the Hermite-Hadamard inequality are included in the study. Considering a convex function on the triangle, we obtain a generalization of the Jensen-Mercer inequality, and a refinement of the Hermite-Hadamard inequality.     

Convergence and complexity of arbitrary order adaptive mixed element methods for the Poisson equation

This paper discusses convergence and complexity of arbitrary,but fixed,order adaptive mixed element methods for the Poisson equation in two and three dimensions.The two main ingredients in the analysis,namely the quasi-orthogonality and the discrete reliability,are achieved by use of a discrete Helmholtz decomposition and a discrete inf-sup condition.The adaptive algorithms are shown to be contractive for the sum of the error of flux in L2-norm and the scaled error estimator after each step of mesh refinement and to be quasi-optimal with respect to the number of elements of underlying partitions.The methods do not require a separate treatment for the data oscillation.     

A MIXED FINITE ELEMENT METHOD FOR THE TRANSIENT BEHAVIOR OF A SEMICONDUCTOR DEVICE

The transient behavior of a semiconductor device is described by a system of three quasilinear partial differential equations. One is elliptic in form for the electric potential and the other two are parabolic in form for the conservation of electron and hole concentrations. The electric potential equation is discretized by a mixed finite element method. The electron and hole density equations are treated by a Galerkin method that applies a variant of the method of characteristics to the transport terms. Optimal order convergence analysis in L2 is given for the proposed method.     

A HYBRID EXPLICIT-IMPLICIT SCHEME FOR THE TIME-DEPENDENT WIGNER EQUATION

This paper designs a hybrid scheme based on finite difference methods and a spectral method for the time-dependent Wigner equation,and gives the error analysis for the full discret ization of its initial value problem.An explicit-implicit time-splitting scheme is used for time integration and the second-order upwind finite difference scheme is used to dis-cretize the advection term.The consistence error and the stability of the full discretization are analyzed.A Fourier spectral method is used to approximate the pseudo-differential operator term and the corresponding error is studied in detail.The final convergence result shows clearly how the regularity of the solution affects the convergence order of the pro-posed scheme.N umerical results are presented for confirming the sharpness of the analysis.The scattering effects of a Gaussian wave packet tunneling through a Gaussian potential barrier are investigated.The evolution of the density function shows that a larger portion of the wave is reflected when the height and the width of the barrier increase.Mathematics subject classification:65M06,65M70.     

Finite Volume Multilevel Approximation of the Shallow Water Equations

The authors consider a simple transport equation in one-dimensional space and the linearized shallow water equations in two-dimensional space, and describe and implement a multilevel finite-volume discretization in the context of the utilization of the incremental unknowns. The numerical stability of the method is proved in both cases.     

Study on Hydrodynamics Characteristics of a Single Bubble in Viscoelastic Fluid at Low Weissenberg Numbers北大核心CSCD

The VOF method was used to numerically study the upward motion of a single bubble in viscoelastic fluid, and the Oldroyd-B model was applied to describe the fluid viscoelastic property. At low Weissenberg numbers (Wi≤1), the effects of the viscous force, the relaxation time, the surface tension and the viscosity ratio on the rising motion of the bubble were studied. The results show that, under relatively large viscous and elastic forces (such as Ga= 2, Wi≥0.5 and β = 0.2), the bubble exhibits the phenomenon of “a pointed rear end”, and this phenomenon intensifies with the increase of the elasticity and the decrease of the surface tension. Otherwise, under a relatively weak elasticity (such as Wi= 0.1), the phenomenon of “a pointed rear end” disappears, and the bubble bears a hat-like shape. For a large surface tension (such as Eo = 1), the bubble bears a longitudinally elongated ellipse-like shape without distinct tail features. The effect of the surface tension on the bubble in viscoelastic fluid is like that in viscous fluid. The bubble has 2 types of rising motions, namely, “continuous acceleration” to a stable velocity and “acceleration-deceleration-reacceleration” to a stable velocity, and the bubble rising velocity in viscoelastic fluid is higher than that in pure viscous fluid. The elastic stress around the bubble is influenced by the viscosity and the relaxation time of the fluid, and with the decrease of the fluid viscosity or/ and the increase of the relaxation time, the incidence of the elastic stress becomes wide. © 2023 Editorial Office of Applied Mathematics and Mechanics.

Degree elevation from Bzier curve to C-Bzier curve with corner cutting form

The existing results of curve degree elevation mainly focus on the degree of algebraic polynomials. The paper considers the elevation of degree of the trigonometric polynomial, from a Bzier curve on the algebraic polynomial space, to a C-B′ezier curve on the algebraic and trigonometric polynomial space. The matrix of degree elevation is obtained by an operator presentation and a derivation pyramid. It possesses not a recursive presentation but a direct expression. The degree elevation process can also be represented as a corner cutting form.     

IMPLICIT-EXPLICIT MULTISTEP FINITE ELEMENT-MIXED FINITE ELEMENT METHODS FOR THE TRANSIENT BEHAVIOR OF A SEMICONDUCTOR DEVICE

The transient behavior of a semiconductor device consists of a Poisson equa-tion for the electric potential and of two nonlinear parabolic equations for the electrondensity and hole density.The electric potential equation is discretized by a mixed finiteelement method. The electron and hole density equations are treated by implicit-explicitmultistep finite element methods. The schemes are very efficient. The optimal order errorestimates both in time and space are derived.     

Polar functions and intersections of the random string processes

Let {us(x) : s ≥ 0 , x ∈R} be a random string taking values in Rd . The main goal of this paper is to discuss the characteristics of the polar functions of {u s(x) : s ≥ 0 , x∈R} . The relationship between a class of continuous functions satisfying the H¨older condition and a class of polar-functions of {us (x) : s ≥ 0 , x ∈R} is presented. The Hausdorff and packing dimensions of the set that the string intersects a given non-polar continuous function are determined. The upper and lower bounds are obtained for the probability that the string intersects a given function in terms of respectively Hausdorff measure and capacity.     

Some studies on mathematical models for general elastic multi-structures

The aim of this paper is to study the static problem about a general elastic multi-structure composed of an arbitrary number of elastic bodies, plates and rods. The mathematical model is derived by the variational principle and the principle of virtual work in a vector way. The unique solvability of the resulting problem is proved by the Lax-Milgram lemma after the presentation of a generalized Korn's inequality on general elastic multi-structures. The equilibrium equations are obtained rigorously by only assuming some reasonable regularity of the solution. An important identity is also given which is essential in the finite element analysis for the problem.     

ASYMPTOTIC CONVERGENCE OF A GENERALIZED NON-NEWTONIAN FLUID WITH TRESCA BOUNDARY CONDITIONS

The goal of this article is to study the asymptotic analysis of an incompressible Herschel-Bulkley fluid in a thin domain with Tresca boundary conditions. The yield stress and the constant viscosity are assumed to vary with respect to the thin layer parameter ε.Firstly, the problem statement and variational formulation are formulated. We then obtained the existence and the uniqueness result of a weak solution and the estimates for the velocity field and the pressure independently of the parameter ε. Finally, we give a specific Reynolds equation associated with variational inequalities and prove the uniqueness.     

Elastic Analysis of Anisotropic Rotating Sandwich Circular Ring With a Functionally Graded Transition Region北大核心CSCD

The elastic analysis of anisotropic rotating sandwich ring with a functionally graded transition region was carried out. Like the shell sandwich structure in nature, the ring is composed of 3 well⁃bonded regions, of which the inner and outer regions are made of homogeneous anisotropic materials, and the intermediate transi⁃ tion region is made of a material with arbitrary⁃gradient properties along the radial direction. Based on the boundary conditions and the continuity conditions at the interface, the 2nd Fredholm integral equation for the radial stress was obtained with the integral equation method, then the stress and displacement fields of the sandwich ring structure were obtained through numerical solution. The distributions of the stress and displace⁃ ment fields in the sandwich ring structure were given. Different gradient changes encountered in engineering practice can be solved only through substitution of the corresponding function model. The effectiveness and ac⁃ curacy of the integral equation method were verified through comparison of the numerical solutions with the ex⁃ act ones for a special power function gradient variation form. The more general Voigt function model was adopt⁃ ed for the intermediate transition region, and the influences of the anisotropy degree, the gradient parameter, and the thickness on the stress and displacement fields were analyzed. The proposed Fredholm integral equation method provides a powerful tool for the optimal design of anisotropic functionally graded materials and sand⁃ wich ring structures. The numerical results make a theoretical guidance for the safety design of anisotropic functionally graded sandwich ring structures. © 2023 Editorial Office of Applied Mathematics and Mechanics.

Analytic Study of Magnetohydrodynamic Flow and Boundary Layer Control Over a Wedge

A genuine variational principle developed by Gyarmati, in the field of thermodynamics of irreversible processes unifying the theoretical requirements of technical, environmental and biological sciences is employed to study the effects of uniform suction and injection on MHD flow adjacent to an isothermal wedge with pressure gradient in the presence of a transverse magnetic field. The velocity distribution inside the boundary layer has been considered as a simple polynomial function and the variational principle is formulated. The Euler-Lagrange equation is reduced to a simple polynomial equation in terms of momentum boundary layer thickness. The velocity profiles, displacement thickness and the coefficient of skin friction are calculated for various values of wedge angle parameter m, magnetic parameter ξ and suction/injection parameter H. The present results are compared with known available results and the comparison is found to be satisfactory. The present study establishes high accuracy of results obtained by this variational technique.     

Statistical Structures on Metric Path Spaces

The authors extend the notion of statistical structure from Riemannian geometry to the general framework of path spaces endowed with a nonlinear connection and a generalized metric. Two particular cases of statistical data are defined. The existence and uniqueness of a nonlinear connection corresponding to these classes is proved. Two Koszul tensors are introduced in accordance with the Riemannian approach. As applications, the authors treat the Finslerian (α, β)-metrics and the Beil metrics used in relativity and field theories while the support Riemannian metric is the Fisher-Rao metric of a statistical model.     

Time-consistent investment-reinsurance strategies towards joint interests of the insurer and the reinsurer under CEV models

The present paper studies time-consistent solutions to an investment-reinsurance problem under a mean-variance framework.The paper is distinguished from other literature by taking into account the interests of both an insurer and a reinsurer jointly.The claim process of the insurer is governed by a Brownian motion with a drift.A proportional reinsurance treaty is considered and the premium is calculated according to the expected value principle.Both the insurer and the reinsurer are assumed to invest in a risky asset,which is distinct for each other and driven by a constant elasticity of variance model.The optimal decision is formulated on a weighted sum of the insurer’s and the reinsurer’s surplus processes.Upon a verification theorem,which is established with a formal proof for a more general problem,explicit solutions are obtained for the proposed investment-reinsurance model.Moreover,numerous mathematical analysis and numerical examples are provided to demonstrate those derived results as well as the economic implications behind.     

RIGOROUS ESTIMATES ON BALANCE LAWS IN BOUNDED DOMAINS

The initial–boundary value problem for a general balance law in a bounded domain is proved to be well posed. Indeed, we show the existence of an entropy solution, its uniqueness and its Lipschitz continuity as a function of time, of the initial datum and of the boundary datum. The proof follows the general lines in [4], striving to provide a rigorous treatment and detailed references.     

Two-Dimensional Regular Shock Reflection for the Pressure Gradient System of Conservation Laws

We establish the existence of a global solution to a regular reflection of a shock hitting a ramp for the pressure gradient system of equations. The set-up of the reflection is the same as that of Mach＇s experiment for the compressible Euler system, i.e., a straight shock hitting a ramp. We assume that the angle of the ramp is close to 90 degrees. The solution has a reflected bow shock wave, called the diffraction of the planar shock at the compressive corner, which is mathematically regarded as a free boundary in the self-similar variable plane. The pressure gradient system of three equations is a subsystem, and an approximation, of the full Euler system, and we offer a couple of derivations.     

Homogenization Theory for a Replenishing Passive Scalar Field

Homogenization theory provides a rigorous framework for calculating the effective diffusivity of a decaying passive scalar field in a turbulent or complex flow. The authors extend this framework to the case where the passive scalar fluctuations are continuously replenished by a source （and/or sink）. The basic structure of the homogenized equations carries over, but in some cases the homogenized source can involve a non-trivial coupling of the velocity field and the source. The authors derive expressions for the homogenized source term for various multiscale source structures and interpret them physically.
