Algorithms of common solutions to quasi variational inclusion and fixed point problems

The purpose of this paper is to present an iterative scheme for finding a common element of the set of solutions to the variational inclusion problem with multivalued maximal monotone mapping and inverse-strongly monotone mappings and the set of fixed points of nonexpansive mappings in Hilbert space.Under suitable conditions, some strong convergence theorems for approximating this common elements are proved. The results presented in the paper not only improve and extend the main results in Korpelevich（Ekonomika i Matematicheskie Metody,1976,12（4）：747-756）,but also extend and replenish the corresponding results obtained by Iiduka and Takahashi（Nonlinear Anal TMA,2005,61（3）：341-350）,Takahashi and Toyoda（J Optim Theory Appl,2003, 118（2）：417-428）,Nadezhkina and Takahashi（J Optim Theory Appl,2006,128（1）：191- 201）,and Zeng and Yao（Taiwanese Journal of Mathematics,2006,10（5）：1293-1303）.

A boundary-field equation method for a nonlinear exterior elasticity problem in the plane

This paper presents a new method for solving a nonlinear exterior boundary value problem arising in two-dimensional elasto-plasticity. The procedure is based on the introduction of a sufficiently large circle that divides the exterior domain into a bounded region and an unbounded one. This allows us to consider the Dirichlet-Neumann mapping on the circle, which provides an explicit formula for the stress in terms of the displacement by using an appropriate infinite Fourier series. In this way we can reduce the original problem to an equivalent nonlinear boundary value problem on the bounded domain with a natural boundary condition on the circle. Hence, the resulting weak formulation includes boundary and field terms, which yields the so called boundary-field equation method. Next, we employ the finite Fourier series to obtain a sequence of approximating nonlinear problems from which the actual Galerkin schemes are derived. Finally, we apply some tools from monotone operators to prove existence, uniqueness and approximation results, including Cea type error estimates for the corresponding discrete solutions.     

The Fokker–Planck Equation with Absorbing Boundary Conditions

We study the initial-boundary value problem for the Fokker–Planck equation in an interval with absorbing boundary conditions. We develop a theory of well-posedness of classical solutions for the problem. We also prove that the resulting solutions decay exponentially for long times. To prove these results we obtain several crucial estimates, which include hypoellipticity away from the singular set for the Fokker–Planck equation with absorbing boundary conditions, as well as the Hölder continuity of the solutions up to the singular set.     

Strong convergence theorem for relatively nonexpansive mapping and inverse-strongly-monotone mapping in a Banach space

In this paper, we introduce an iterative sequence for finding a common element of the set of fixed points of a relatively nonexpansive mapping and the set of solutions of the variational inequality for an inverse-strongly-monotone mapping in a Banach space. Then, we show that the sequence converges strongly to a common element of the two sets. Our results improve and extend the corresponding results reported by many others.     

Viscosity approximation with weak contractions for fixed point problem,equilibrium problem,and variational inequality problem

This paper proposes a modified iterative algorithm using a viscosity approximation method with a weak contraction.The purpose is to find a common element of the set of common fixed points of an infinite family of nonexpansive mappings and the set of a finite family of equilibrium problems that is also a solution to a variational inequality.Under suitable conditions,some strong convergence theorems are established in the framework of Hilbert spaces.The results presented in the paper improve and extend the corresponding results of Colao et al.（Colao,V.,Acedo,G.L.,and Marino,G.An implicit method for finding common solutions of variational inequalities and systems of equilibrium problems and fixed points of infinite family of nonexpansive mappings.Nonlinear Anal.71,2708–2715（2009））,Plubtieng and Punpaeng（Plubtieng,S.and Punpaeng,R.A general iterative method for equilibrium problems and fixed point problems in Hilbert spaces.J.Math.Anal.Appl.336,455–469（2007））,Colao et al.（Colao,V.,Marino,G.,and Xu,H.K.An iterative method for finding common solutions of equilibrium problem and fixed point problems.J.Math.Anal.Appl.344,340–352（2008））,Yao et al.（Yao,Y.,Liou,Y.C.,and Yao,J.C.Convergence theorem for equilibrium problems and fixed point problems of infinite family of nonexpansive mappings.Fixed Point Theory Application 2007,Article ID 64363（2007）DOI 10.1155/2007/64363）,and others.     

Analytic study on non-Newtonian natural convection boundary layer flow with variable wall temperature on a horizontal plate

The similarity transform for the steady free convection boundary layer flow of a non-Newtonian fluid (Casson model) with variable wall temperature on a horizontal plate gives a system of nonlinear ordinary differential equations which is solved analytically by applying a newly developed method namely the homotopy analysis method (HAM). The velocity and temperature profiles are obtained and the influence of Prandtl number and various physical parameters of the problem on these distributions are discussed in detail and are illustrated graphically through a set of graphs. The validity of our solutions is verified by the numerical results.     

NONEXISTENCE OF GLOBAL SOLUTIONS OF NONLINEAR HYPERBOLIC EQUATION WITH MATERIAL DAMPING

Concerns with the nonexistence of global solutions to the initial boundary value problem for a nonlinear hyperbolic equation with material damping. Nonexitence theorems of global solutions to the above problem are proved by the energy method, Jensen inequality and the concavity method, respectively. As applications of our main results, three examples are given.     

3-periodic traveling wave solutions for a dynamical coupled map lattice

In this paper, the existence of periodic traveling wave solutions with a priori unknown velocity is considered for a coupled map lattice dynamical system. By trasforming our problem into one that involves polynomials, explicit 2- and 3-periodic traveling wave solutions are found, while the other solutions can be computed numerically. Since there does not seem to be any reports on explicit traveling wave solutions, we hope that our results will lead to the discovery of many others.     

Attractivity in non-autonomous systems

We discuss some sufficient conditions for attractivity of a closed set by using Liapunov functions and show how to apply our results to the study of asymptotic behaviors of solutions in nonautonomous systems. We also discuss the convergence of solutions by the same idea. These results are extendable to functional differential equations.     

The Stroh formalism and the reciprocity properties of reflection-transmission problems in crystal piezo-acoustics

The paper is concerned with the Helmholtz-Rayleigh reciprocity, which implies invariance of mode-into-mode transformation with respect to interchange of incident mode and reflected or transmitted mode. This concept is considered for a wide range of acoustic reflection-transmission problems in anisotropic piezoelectric media. Resorting to the ideas of the Stroh formalism and casting the wave solutions of a boundary problem into a self-orthogonal and complete set, we develop the common approach which allows us to prove the reciprocity properties in a similar fashion for reflection-transmission for various boundary conditions.     

A semi‐Lagrangian level set method for incompressible Navier–Stokes equations with free surface

In this paper, we formulate a level set method in the framework of finite elements‐semi‐Lagrangian methods to compute the solution of the incompressible Navier–Stokes equations with free surface. In our formulation, we use a quasi‐monotone semi‐Lagrangian scheme, which is both unconditionally stable and essentially non oscillatory, to compute the advective terms in the Navier–Stokes equations, the transport equation and the equation of the reinitialization stage for the level set function. The method we propose is quite robust and flexible with regard to the mesh and the geometry of the domain, as well as the magnitude of the Reynolds number. We illustrate the performance of the method in several examples, which range from a benchmark problem to test the volume conservation property of the method to the flow past a NACA0012 foil at high Reynolds number.

Asymptotic Behavior of Quasi-Autonomous Expansive Type Evolution Systems in a Hilbert Space

We introduce the notion of almost expansive sequences and curves and study their ergodic and asymptotic properties in a Hilbert space H. We apply our results to study the asymptotic behavior of solutions to the quasi-autonomous expansive type evolution system (du/dt)(t) + f(t) ∈ Au(t) on [0, ∞).     

Existence of Global Strong Solutions to a Beam–Fluid Interaction System

We study an unsteady nonlinear fluid–structure interaction problem which is a simplified model to describe blood flow through viscoelastic arteries. We consider a Newtonian incompressible two-dimensional flow described by the Navier–Stokes equations set in an unknown domain depending on the displacement of a structure, which itself satisfies a linear viscoelastic beam equation. The fluid and the structure are fully coupled via interface conditions prescribing the continuity of the velocities at the fluid–structure interface and the action–reaction principle. We prove that strong solutions to this problem are global-in-time. We obtain, in particular that contact between the viscoelastic wall and the bottom of the fluid cavity does not occur in finite time. To our knowledge, this is the first occurrence of a no-contact result, and of the existence of strong solutions globally in time, in the frame of interactions between a viscous fluid and a deformable structure.
