Incompressible non‐Newtonian fluids: time asymptotic behaviour of weak solutions

We study the asymptotic behaviour in time of incompressible non‐Newtonian fluids in the whole space assuming that initial data also belong to L¹. Firstly, we consider the weak solution to the power‐law model with non‐zero external forces and we find the asymptotic behaviour in time of this solution in the same class of existence and uniqueness with p?. Secondly, we are interested in the asymptotic behaviour of weak solutions to the second grade model, and finally, we deal with the asymptotic behaviour in time of weak solutions to a simplified model of viscoelastic fluids of the Oldroyd type.

Higher-order spectral analysis and weak asymptotic stability of convex processes

This paper deals with the asymptotic stability analysis of a discrete dynamical inclusion whose right-hand side is a convex process. We provide necessary and sufficient conditions for weak asymptotic stability, and obtain sharp estimates for the asymptotic null-controllability set. These estimates involve not only standard, but also higher-order spectral information on the convex process and its adjoint.     

Existence of least-energy configurations of immiscible fluids

This article shows how to model equilibrium configurations of immiscible fluids using Fleming’s flat chains with coefficients in a group. Existence is proved and regularity is discussed briefly.     

Construction of asymptotic solutions to conjugation problems

A steady-state mass transfer problem related to underground storage of radioactive and chemical wastes is used to illustrate the application of an approximate method that opens up new opportunities for underground thermohydrodynamic simulation. The problem is represented as a sequence of mixed conjugation problems for the expansion coefficients, the remainder term, and the boundary-layer functions. Analytical expressions for the zero- and first-order expansion coefficients are derived.     

On asymptotic solutions of the renewal equation

Consider the renewal equation in the form (¹) $\text{u(t) = g(t) + ∝}{}_{\mathrm{o}}{}^{\mathrm{t}}\text{u(t ? τ) ?(τ) dτ}$, where $\text{?(t)}$ is a probability density on [0, ∞) and lim_{t → ∞}g(t) = g₀. Asymptotic solutions of (¹) are given in the case when f(t) has no expectation, i.e., $\text{∝}{}_0{}^{\mathrm{\infty }}\text{t?(t)dt = ∞}$. These results complement the classical theorem of Feller under the assumption that f(t) possesses finite expectation.     

Free energies and asymptotic behaviour for incompressible viscoelastic fluids

The existence, uniqueness and asymptotic stability for an incompressible, linear viscoelastic fluid is studied using a new free energy, the representation of which is based on the concept of a minimal state. A restriction imposed by thermodynamics is also used. Furthermore, an expression for the minimum free energy in the time domain is derived, which shows explicitly its dependence on the minimal state.     

Higher-order optimality conditions for weakly efficient solutions in nonconvex set-valued optimization

In this paper, generalized higher-order contingent (adjacent) derivatives of set-valued maps are introduced and some of their properties are discussed. Under no any convexity assumptions, necessary and sufficient optimality conditions are obtained for weakly efficient solutions of set-valued optimization problems by employing the generalized higher-order derivatives.     

Continuity for the asymptotic shape in the frog model with random initial configurations

We consider the so-called frog model with random initial configurations, which is described by the following evolution mechanism of simple random walks on the multidimensional cubic lattice: Some particles are randomly assigned to any site of the multidimensional cubic lattice. Initially, only particles at the origin are active and they independently perform simple random walks. The other particles are sleeping and do not move at first. When sleeping particles are hit by an active particle, they become active and start doing independent simple random walks. An interest of this model is how initial configurations affect the asymptotic shape of the set of all sites visited by active particles up to a certain time. Thus, in this paper, we prove continuity for the asymptotic shape in the law of the initial configuration.

The asymptotic estimates of solutions of difference equations

The asymptotic estimate of the solution y(t) of linear difference equations with almost constant coefficients and the condition of asymptotic equivalence between y(t) and y₀(t) are given, where y₀(t) is the corresponding solution of linear equations with constant coefficients. A brief and elementary proof of the results is presented. The method of proof carries over to differential equations in which some similar results are stated.     

A principle of linearization and the uniform asymptotic stability of solutions of the Navier–Stokes equations for compressible isothermic fluids

We prove the correctness of a principle of linearization in the investigation of the uniform asymptotic stability of a sufficiently smooth, but generally non-steady, solution of the Navier-Stokes equations for compressible fluids in the case of a constant temperature.     

Higher-order optimality conditions for strict and weak efficient solutions in set-valued optimization

In this paper, we introduce a notion of higher-order Studniarski epiderivative of a set-valued map and study its properties. Then, we discuss their applications to optimality conditions in set-valued optimization. Higher-order optimality conditions for strict and weak efficient solutions of a constrained set-valued optimization problem are established. Some remarks on the existing results in the literature are given from our results.
