Homotopy analysis method with a non-homogeneous term in the auxiliary linear operator

We demonstrate the efficiency of a modification of the normal homotopy analysis method (HAM) proposed by Liao [2] by including a non-homogeneous term in the auxiliary linear operator (this can be considered as a special case of “further generalization” of HAM given by Liao in [2]). We then apply the modified method to a few examples. It is observed that including a non-homogeneous term gives faster convergence in comparison to normal HAM. We also prove a convergence theorem, which shows that our technique yields the convergent solution.

This paper investigates solutions of some non-homogeneous linear differential equations, which have non-homogeneous term as the small function of solution. Using the similar method, we can generalize the result of G.Gundersen and L.Z.Yang.

Linking-Preserving Perturbations of Symmetric Functionals

We consider paths of functionals starting with one which is invariant under the action of an arbitrary group of symmetries. We give conditions for the existence of an unbounded sequence of critical values of the non-symmetric functional at the end of the path in terms of the growth of the critical values of the symmetric one. We apply this to obtain a multiplicity result for a system of elliptic equations whose symmetries are perturbed by a linear term and a non-homogeneous boundary condition.     

On quasi-stationary models of mixtures of compressible fluids

We consider mixtures of compressible viscous fluids consisting of two miscible species. In contrast to the theory of non-homogeneous incompressible fluids where one has only one velocity field, here we have two densities and two velocity fields assigned to each species of the fluid. We obtain global classical solutions for quasi-stationary Stokes-like system with interaction term. This work was supported by SFB 611.     

A boundary value problem associated to non-homogeneous operators in Orlicz-Sobolev spaces

We apply a three critical points theorem of B. Ricceri to establish the existence of at least three weak solutions for a class of non-homogeneous Neumann problems. Furthermore, by using another theorem of him, we prove that an appropriate oscillating behaviour of the nonlinear term ensures the existence of infinitely many weak solutions. Our analysis is based on recent variational methods for smooth functionals defined on Orlicz-Sobolev spaces.     

Sharp regularity theory for thermo-elastic mixed problems 1

We give a sharp (optimal) regularity theory of thermo-elastic mixed problems. Our approach is by P.D.E. methods and applies to any space dimension and, in principle, to any set of boundary conditions. We consider two sets of boundary conditions: hinged and clamped B.C. The original coupled P.D.E. system is split into two suitable uncoupled P.D.E. equations: a Kirchoff mixed problem and a heat equation, whose delicate, optimal regularity is available in the literature. Ultimately, the original problem with boundary non-homogeneous term is reduced to the same problem, however, with homogeneou B.C. and a known ‘right-hand term’ in the equation, which is easier to analyze.     

Bloch wave homogenization of a non-homogeneous Neumann problem

In this paper, we use the Bloch wave method to study the asymptotic behavior of the solution of the Laplace equation in a periodically perforated domain, under a non-homogeneous Neumann condition on the boundary of the holes, as the size of the holes goes to zero more rapidly than the domain period. This method allows to prove that, when the hole size exceeds a given threshold, the non-homogeneous boundary condition generates an additional term in the homogenized problem, commonly referred to as “the strange term” in the literature.

On an incompressible Navier–Stokes/Cahn–Hilliard system with degenerate mobility

We prove existence of weak solutions for a diffuse interface model for the flow of two viscous incompressible Newtonian fluids in a bounded domain by allowing for a degenerate mobility. The model has been developed by Abels, Garcke and Grün for fluids with different densities and leads to a solenoidal velocity field. It is given by a non-homogeneous Navier–Stokes system with a modified convective term coupled to a Cahn–Hilliard system, such that an energy estimate is fulfilled which follows from the fact that the model is thermodynamically consistent.     

On orthogonal polynomial approximation with the dimensional expanding technique for precise time integration in transient analysis

We use four orthogonal polynomial series, Legendre, Chebyshev, Hermite and Laguerre series, to approximate the non-homogeneous term for the precise time integration and incorporate them with the dimensional expanding technique. They are applied to various structures subjected to transient dynamic loading together with Fourier and Taylor approximation proposed in previous works. Numerical examples show that all six methods are efficient and have reasonable precision. In particular, Legendre approximation has much higher precision and better convergence; Chebyshev approximation is also good, but only slightly inferior to Legendre approximation. The other four approximation methods usually produce results with errors hundreds of thousands of times larger. Hermite and Laguerre approximation may be useful for some special non-homogeneous terms, but do not work sufficiently well in our numerical examples. Other contributions of this paper include, a Dynamic Programming scheme for computing series coefficients, a general formula to find the assistant matrix for any polynomial series.     

On the three-dimensional Wigner-Poisson problem with inflow boundary conditions

We study the Wigner-Poisson problem in a bounded spatial domain, with non-homogeneous and time-dependent “inflow” boundary conditions. This system is a quantum model of charge transport in a semiconductor device coupled with reservoirs, in presence of a self-consistent potential and of an external one. We state a local-in-time well-posedness result for the problem. The main difficulty is proving in the three-dimensional case that the non-linear potential term is a Lipschitz perturbation of the “affine” streaming operator, in an appropriately weighted L²-space.     

A note on defining singular integral as distribution and partial differential equations with convolution term

In this study first we consider the singular integrals as generalized functions in two dimensions and then we solve the non-homogeneous wave equation with convolutional term by using the generalized functions as boundary conditions.     

Non-homogeneous space-time fractional Poisson processes

The space-time fractional Poisson process (STFPP), defined by Orsingher and Poilto (2012), is a generalization of the time fractional Poisson process (TFPP) and the space fractional Poisson process (SFPP). We study the fractional generalization of the non-homogeneous Poisson process and call it the non-homogeneous space-time fractional Poisson process (NHSTFPP). We compute their pmf and generating function and investigate the associated differential equation. The limit theorems for the NHSTFPP process are studied. We study the distributional properties, the asymptotic expansion of the correlation function of the non-homogeneous time fractional Poisson process (NHTFPP) and subsequently investigate the long-range dependence (LRD) property of a special NHTFPP. We investigate the limit theorem for the fractional non-homogeneous Poisson process (FNHPP) studied by Leonenko et al. (2014). Finally, we present some simulated sample paths of the NHSTFPP process.     

Boundary value problems for multi-term fractional differential equations

Multi-term fractional diffusion-wave equation along with the homogeneous/non-homogeneous boundary conditions has been solved using the method of separation of variables. It is observed that, unlike in the one term case, solution of multi-term fractional diffusion-wave equation is not necessarily non-negative, and hence does not represent anomalous diffusion of any kind.     

Arbitrarily small weak solutions for a nonlinear eigenvalue problem in Orlicz–Sobolev spaces

Under an appropriate oscillating behavior of the nonlinear term, the existence of a determined open interval of positive parameters for which an eigenvalue non-homogeneous Neumann problem admits infinitely many weak solutions that strongly converges to zero, in an appropriate Orlicz–Sobolev space, is proved. Our approach is based on variational methods. The abstract result of this paper is illustrated by a concrete case.     

Average case tractability of non-homogeneous tensor product problems with the absolute error criterion

We study average case tractability of non-homogeneous tensor product problems with the absolute error criterion. We consider algorithms that use finitely many evaluations of arbitrary linear functionals. For general non-homogeneous tensor product problems, we obtain the matching necessary and sufficient conditions for strong polynomial tractability in terms of the one-dimensional eigenvalues. We give some examples to show that strong polynomial tractability is not equivalent to polynomial tractability, and polynomial tractability is not equivalent to quasi-polynomial tractability. But for non-homogeneous tensor product problems with decreasing eigenvalues, we prove that strong polynomial tractability is always equivalent to polynomial tractability, and strong polynomial tractability is even equivalent to quasi-polynomial tractability when the one-dimensional largest eigenvalues are less than one. In particular, we find an example that quasi-polynomial tractability with the absolute error criterion is not equivalent to that with the normalized error criterion even if all the one-dimensional largest eigenvalues are one. Finally we consider a special class of non-homogeneous tensor product problems with improved monotonicity condition of the eigenvalues.
