We establish well‐posedness and asymptotic stability results for the system under some conditions imposed into the relaxation functions regardless to the speeds of wave propagations.

Strong stabilization of a structural acoustic model,which incorporates shear and thermal effects in the structural component

In this paper we consider the question of stabilization of a linear three‐dimensional structural acoustic model, which incorporates displacement, rotational inertia, shear and thermal effects in the flat flexible structural component of the model. We show strong stabilization of the coupled model without incorporating viscous or boundary damping in the equations for the gas dynamics and without imposing geometric conditions. It turns out that damping is needed in the interior of the plate. Our main tool is an abstract resolvent criterion due to Y. Tomilov. Copyright © 2009 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

Blow up criterion for three‐dimensional nematic liquid crystal flows with partial viscosity

In this paper, we investigate the Cauchy problem for the three‐dimensional nematic liquid crystal flows with partial viscosity, and a blow up criterion of smooth solutions is established. This result is analogous to the celebrated Beale‐Kato‐Majda breakdown criterion for the incompressible Euler equations. Copyright © 2012 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

Fundamental solution of generalized thermo-viscoelasticity using the finite element method

The present paper is aimed at an investigation of the temperature, displacement, and stress in a viscoelastic half space of Kelven–Voigt type. The formulation is applied according to three theories of generalized thermoelasticity: Lord–Shulman with one relaxation time, Green–Lindsay with two relaxation times, as well as the coupled theory. The nondimensional governing equations are solved by the finite element method. Numerical results for the temperature distribution, displacement, and thermal stress are represented graphically. Comparisons are made with the results predicted by the CD, L-S, and G-L theories in the presence and absence of the viscoelastic relaxation time.     

Dynamic stability of the three‐dimensional axisymmetric Navier‐Stokes equations with swirl

In this paper, we study the dynamic stability of the three‐dimensional axisymmetric Navier‐Stokes Equations with swirl. To this purpose, we propose a new one‐dimensional model that approximates the Navier‐Stokes equations along the symmetry axis. An important property of this one‐dimensional model is that one can construct from its solutions a family of exact solutions of the three‐dimensionaFinal Navier‐Stokes equations. The nonlinear structure of the one‐dimensional model has some very interesting properties. On one hand, it can lead to tremendous dynamic growth of the solution within a short time. On the other hand, it has a surprising dynamic depletion mechanism that prevents the solution from blowing up in finite time. By exploiting this special nonlinear structure, we prove the global regularity of the three‐dimensional Navier‐Stokes equations for a family of initial data, whose solutions can lead to large dynamic growth, but yet have global smooth solutions. © 2007 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.     

Eigenvalue approach to study the effect of rotation and relaxation time in generalized magneto-thermo-viscoelastic medium in one dimension

The fundamental equations of the problems of generalized thermoelasticity with one relaxation parameter including heat sources in infinite rotating magneto-thermo-viscoelastic media have been derived in the form of a vector matrix differential equation in the Laplace transform domain for a one dimensional problem. These equations have been solved by the eigenvalue approach to determine deformations, stress, and temperature. The results have been compared to those available in the existing literature. The graphs have been drawn to show the effect of rotation in the medium.     

Analyticity for Kuramoto–Sivashinsky‐type equations in two spatial dimensions

I. Stratis In this work, we investigate the analyticity properties of solutions of Kuramoto–Sivashinsky‐type equations in two spatial dimensions, with periodic initial data. In order to do this, we explore the applicability in three‐dimensional models of a spectral method, which was developed by the authors for the one‐dimensional Kuramoto–Sivashinsky equation. We introduce a criterion, which provides a sufficient condition for analyticity of a periodic function u∈C^∞, involving the rate of growth of ?ⁿu, in suitable norms, as n tends to infinity. This criterion allows us to establish spatial analyticity for the solutions of a variety of systems, including Topper–Kawahara, Frenkel–Indireshkumar, and Coward–Hall equations and their dispersively modified versions, once we assume that these systems possess global attractors.

Local existence and blow‐up criterion for the generalized Boussinesq equations in Besov spaces

In this paper, we consider the three‐dimensional generalized Boussinesq equations, a system of equations resulting from replacing the Laplacian ? Δ in the usual Boussinesq equations by a fractional Laplacian ( ? Δ)^α. We prove the local existence in time and obtain a regularity criterion of solution for the generalized Boussinesq equations by means of the Littlewood–Paley theory and Bony's paradifferential calculus. The results in this paper can be regarded as an extension to the Serrin‐type criteria for Navier–Stokes equations and magnetohydrodynamics equations, respectively.

DSMC Modeling of a Single Hot Spot Evolution Using the Landau-Fokker-Planck Equation

Numerical solution of a fully nonlinear one dimensional in space and three dimensional in velocity space electron kinetic equation is presented. Direct Simulation Monte Carlo (DSMC) method used for the nonlinear Landau-Fokker-Planck (LFP) collision operator is combined with Particle-in-Cell (PiC) simulations. An assumption of a self-consistent ambipolar electric field is used. The illustrative simulation results for the relaxation of the initial temperature perturbation are compared with the antecedent analytical and numerical results.     

Stability,bifurcation and global existence of a Hopf-bifurcating periodic solution for a class of three-neuron delayed network models

In this paper a system of three delay differential equations representing a Hopfield type general model for three neurons with two-way (bidirectional) time delayed connections between the neurons and time delayed self-connection from each neuron to itself is studied. Delay independent and delay dependent sufficient conditions for linear stability, instability and the occurrence of a Hopf bifurcation about the trivial equilibrium are addressed. The partition of the resulting parametric space into regions of stability, instability, and Hopf bifurcation in the absence of self-connection is realized. To extend the local Hopf branches for large delay values a particular bidirectional delayed tri-neuron model without self-connection is investigated. Sufficient conditions for global existence of multiple non-constant periodic solutions are obtained for such a model using the global Hopf-bifurcation theorem for functional differential equations due to J. Wu and the Bendixson criterion for higher dimensional ordinary differential equations due to Li and Muldowney, and following the approach developed by Wei and Li.     

Three-dimensional thermal shock problem of generalized thermoelastic half-space

A three-dimensional model of the generalized thermoelasticity with one relaxation time is established. The resulting non-dimensional coupled equations together with the Laplace and double Fourier transforms techniques are applied to a specific problem of a half space subjected to thermal shock and traction free surface. The inverses of Fourier transforms and Laplace transforms are obtained numerically by using the complex inversion formula of the transform together with Fourier expansion techniques. Numerical results for the temperature, thermal stress, strain and displacement distributions are represented graphically.     

Nongeneric Bifurcations Near a Nontransversal Heterodimensional Cycle

In this paper bifurcations of heterodimensional cycles with highly degenerate conditions are studied in three dimensional vector fields,where a nontransversal intersection between the two-dimensional manifolds of the saddle equilibria occurs.By setting up local moving frame systems in some tubular neighborhood of unperturbed heterodimensional cycles,the authors construct a Poincar′e return map under the nongeneric conditions and further obtain the bifurcation equations.By means of the bifurcation equations,the authors show that different bifurcation surfaces exhibit variety and complexity of the bifurcation of degenerate heterodimensional cycles.Moreover,an example is given to show the existence of a nontransversal heterodimensional cycle with one orbit flip in three dimensional system.     

A Serrin criterion for compressible nematic liquid crystal flows

This paper is concerned with a simplified system, proposed by Ericksen and Leslie, modeling the flow of nematic liquid crystals. We establish a blowup criterion for three‐dimensional compressible nematic liquid crystal flows, which is analogous to the well‐known Serrin's blowup criterion for three‐dimensional incompressible viscous flows.

On the stabilizing effect of convection in three‐dimensional incompressible flows

We investigate the stabilizing effect of convection in three‐dimensional incompressible Euler and Navier‐Stokes equations. The convection term is the main source of nonlinearity for these equations. It is often considered destabilizing although it conserves energy due to the incompressibility condition. In this paper, we show that the convection term together with the incompressibility condition actually has a surprising stabilizing effect. We demonstrate this by constructing a new three‐dimensional model that is derived for axisymmetric flows with swirl using a set of new variables. This model preserves almost all the properties of the full three‐dimensional Euler or Navier‐Stokes equations except for the convection term, which is neglected in our model. If we added the convection term back to our model, we would recover the full Navier‐Stokes equations. We will present numerical evidence that seems to support that the three‐dimensional model may develop a potential finite time singularity. We will also analyze the mechanism that leads to these singular events in the new three‐dimensional model and how the convection term in the full Euler and Navier‐Stokes equations destroys such a mechanism, thus preventing the singularity from forming in a finite time. © 2008 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Efficient cuts in Lagrangean ‘Relax-and-cut’ schemes

Lagrangean relaxation produces bounds on the optimal value of (mixed) integer programming problems. These bounds, together with integer feasible solution values, provide intervals bracketing the optimal value of the original problem. When the residual gap, i.e., the relative size of the interval, is too large for the approximations to be deemed satisfactory, it is desirable to ‘strengthen’ the Lagrangean bounds. One possible strengthening technique consists of identifying cuts which are violated by the current Lagrangean solution, and dualizing them. Unfortunately not every valid inequality that is currently violated will improve the Lagrangean relaxation bound when dualized. This paper investigates what makes a violated cut ‘efficient’ in improving bounds. It also provides examples of efficient cuts for several (mixed) integer programming problems.     

A constraint generation algorithm for large scale linear programs using multiple-points separation

In order to solve linear programs with a large number of constraints, constraint generation techniques are often used. In these algorithms, a relaxation of the formulation containing only a subset of the constraints is first solved. Then a separation procedure is called which adds to the relaxation any inequality of the formulation that is violated by the current solution. The process is iterated until no violated inequality can be found. In this paper, we present a separation procedure that uses several points to generate violated constraints. The complexity of this separation procedure and of some related problems is studied. Also, preliminary computational results about the advantages of using multiple-points separation procedures over traditional separation procedures are given for random linear programs and survivable network design. They illustrate that, for some specific families of linear programs, multiple-points separation can be computationally effective.

On relaxed greedy randomized Kaczmarz methods for solving large sparse linear systems

For solving large sparse systems of linear equations by iteration methods, we further generalize the greedy randomized Kaczmarz method by introducing a relaxation parameter in the involved probability criterion, obtaining a class of relaxed greedy randomized Kaczmarz methods. We prove the convergence of these methods when the linear system is consistent, and show that these methods can be more efficient than the greedy randomized Kaczmarz method if the relaxation parameter is chosen appropriately.     

Interface cracks in anisotropic composites

The linear model equations of elasticity often give rise to oscillatory solutions in some vicinity of interface crack fronts. In this paper we apply the Wiener–Hopf method which yields the asymptotic behaviour of the elastic fields and, in addition, criteria to prevent oscillatory solutions. The exponents of the asymptotic expansions are found as eigenvalues of the symbol of corresponding boundary pseudodifferential equations. The method works for three‐dimensional anisotropic bodies and we demonstrate it for the example of two anisotropic bodies, one of which is bounded and the other one is its exterior complement. The common boundary is a smooth surface. On one part of this surface, called the interface, the bodies are bonded, while on the complementary part there is a crack. By applying the potential method, the problem is reduced to an equivalent system of Boundary Pseudodifferential Equations (BPE) on the interface with the stress vector as the unknown. The BPEs are defined via Poincaré–Steklov operators. We prove the unique solvability of these BPEs and obtain the full asymptotic expansion of the solution near the crack front. As a special case we consider the interface crack between two different isotropic materials and derive an explicit criterion which prevents oscillatory solutions.
