A General Approach to the Construction of Conservation Laws for Birkhoffian Systems in Event Space

For a Birkhoffing system in the event space, a general approach to the construction of conservation laws is presented. The conservation laws are constructed by finding corresponding integrating factors for the parametric equations of the system. First, the parametric equations of the Birkhoffian system in the event space are established, and the definition of integrating factors for the system is given; second the necessary conditions for the existence of conservation laws are studied in detail, and the relation between the conservation laws and the integrating factors of the system is obtained and the generalized Killing equations for the determination of the integrating factors are given; finally, the conservation theorem and its inverse for the system are established, and an example is given to illustrate the application of the results.

A novel hierarchy of differential integral equations and their generalized bi-Hamiltonian structures

With the aid of the zero-curvature equation, a novel integrable hierarchy of nonlinear evolution equations associated with a 3 x 3 matrix spectral problem is proposed. By using the trace identity, the bi-Hamiltonian structures of the hierarchy are established with two skew-symmetric operators. Based on two linear spectral problems, we obtain the infinite many conservation laws of the first member in the hierarchy.     

Global Structure Stability of Riemann Solution of Quasilinear Hyperbolic System of Conservation Law in Presence of Boundary： Shocks and Contact Discontinuities

In this paper, we investigate a class of mixed initial-boundary value problems for a kind of n × n quasilinear hyperbolic systems of conservation laws on the quarter plan. We show that the structure of the pieeewise C^1 solution u = u（t, x） of the problem, which can be regarded as a perturbation of the corresponding Riemann problem, is globally similar to that of the solution u = U（x/t） of the corresponding Riemann problem. The piecewise C^1 solution u = u（t, x） to this kind of problems is globally structure-stable if and only if it contains only non-degenerate shocks and contact discontinuities, but no rarefaction waves and other weak discontinuities.

Riccati-type Baicklund transformations of nonisospectral and generalized variable-coefficient KdV equations

We extend the method of constructing Bgcklund transformations for integrable equations through Riccati equations to the nonisospectral and the variable-coefficient equations. By taking nonisospectral and generalized variable-coefficient Korteweg-de Vries （KdV） equations as examples, their Backlund transformations are obtained under a more generalized constrain condition. In addition, the Lax pairs and infinite numbers of conservation laws of these equations are given. Es- pecially, some classical equations such as the cylindrical KdV equation are just the special cases of the constrain condition.     

New Positive and Negative Hierarchies of Integrable Differential-Difference Equations and Conservation Laws

Two hierarchies of nonlinear integrable positive and negative lattice equations are derived from a discrete spectrak problem. The two lattice hierarchies are proved to have discrete zero curvature representations associated with a discrete spectral problem, which also shows that the positive and negative hierarchies correspond to positive and negative power expansions of Lax operators with respect to the spectral parameter, respectively. Moreover, the integrable lattice models in the positive hierarchy are of polynomial type, and the integrable lattice models in the negative hierarchy are of rational type. Further, we construct infinite conservation laws about the positive hierarchy.     

Conservation Laws and Analytic Soliton Solutions for Coupled Integrable Dispersionless Equations with Symbolic Computation

Under investigation in this paper are two coupled integrable dispersionless （CID） equations modeling the dynamics of the current-fed string within an external magnetic field. Through a set of the dependent variable transformations, the bilinear forms for the CID equations are derived. Based on the Hirota method and symbolic computation, the analytic N-soliton solutions are presented. Infinitely many conservation laws for the CID equations are given through the known spectral problem. Propagation characteristics and interaction behaviors of the solitons are analyzed graphically.

Based on a new discrete three-by-three matrix spectral problem, a hierarchy of integrable lattice equations with three potentials is proposed through discrete zero-curvature representation, and the resulting integrable lattice equation reduces to the classical Toda lattice equation. It is shown that the hierarchy possesses a HamiItonian structure and a hereditary recursion operator. Finally, infinitely many conservation laws of corresponding lattice systems are obtained by a direct way.

Modulating magnetism of nitrogen-doped zigzag graphene nanoribbons

We present a study of electronic properties of zigzag graphene nanoribbons （ZGNRs） substitutionally doped with nitrogen atoms at a single edge by first principle calculations. We find that the two edge states near the Fermi level sepa- rate due to the asymmetric nitrogen-doping. The ground states of these systems become ferromagnetic because the local magnetic moments along the undoped edges remain and those along the doped edges are suppressed. By controlling the charge-doping level, the magnetic moments of the whole ribbons are modulated. Proper charge doping leads to interest- ing half-metallic and single-edge conducting ribbons which would be helpful for designing graphene-nanoribbon-based spintronic devices in the future.     

Suppression of Spiral Wave in Modified Orengonator Model

In this paper, a spatial perturbation scheme is proposed to suppress the spiral wave in the modified Orengonator model, which is used to describe the chemical reaction in the light-sensitive media. The controllable external illumination Ф is perturbed with a spatial linear function. In our numerical simulation, the scheme is investigated by imposing the external controllable illumination on the space continuously and/or intermittently. The numerical simulation results confirm that the stable rotating spiral wave still can be removed with the scheme proposed in this paper even if the controllable Ф changed vs. time and space synchronously. Then the scheme is also used to control the spiral wave and turbulence in the modified Fitzhugh-Nagumo model. It is found that the scheme is effective to remove the sable rotating and meandering spiral wave but it costs long transient period and intensity of the gradient parameter to eliminate the soiral turbulence.     

An Extension of Algorithm on Symbolic Computations of Conserved Densities for High-Dimensional Nonlinear Systems

An improved algorithm for symbolic computations of polynomial-type conservation laws （PCLaws） of a general polynomial nonlinear system is presented. The algorithm is implemented in Maple and can be successfully used for high-dimensional models. Furthermore, the algorithm discards the restriction to evolution equations. The program can also be used to determine the preferences for a given parameterized nonlinear systems. The code is tested on several known nonlinear equations from the soliton theory.     

Three-Dimensional Multi-mesh Material Point Method for Solving Collision Problems

A new multi-mesh contact algorithm for three-dimensional material point method is presented. The contact algorithm faithfully recovers the opposite acting forces between colliding bodies. Collision procedures between regular bodies and/or rigid bodies are treated within the same framework. Multi-value of momentum and mass are defined on every node to describe the contact/sliding/separation procedure. Both normal and tangential velocities of each particle at the contact surface are calculated in respective individual mesh. A Coulomb friction is applied to describe the sliding or slipping between the contacting bodies. The efficiency of the contact algorithm is linearly related to the number of the contacting bodies because the overlapped nodes are labeled by sweeping the material particles of all bodies when the nodal momentum and mass are formed at every time step. Numerical simulation shows that our contact algorithm possesses high accuracy and low numerical energy dissipation, which is very important for solving collision problems.
