Classification of surfaces in a pseudo‐sphere with 2‐type pseudo‐spherical Gauss map

In this article, we study submanifolds in a pseudo‐sphere with 2‐type pseudo‐spherical Gauss map. We give a characterization theorem for Lorentzian surfaces in the pseudo‐sphere with zero mean curvature vector in and 2‐type pseudo‐spherical Gauss map. We also prove that non‐totally umbilical proper pseudo‐Riemannian hypersurfaces in a pseudo‐sphere with non‐zero constant mean curvature has 2‐type pseudo‐spherical Gauss map if and only if it has constant scalar curvature. Then, for we obtain the classification of surfaces in with 2‐type pseudo‐spherical Gauss map. Finally, we give an example of surface with null 2‐type pseudo‐spherical Gauss map which does not appear in Riemannian case, and we give a characterization theorem for Lorentzian surfaces in with null 2‐type pseudo‐spherical Gauss map.     

A sufficient condition for blowup of solutions to a class of pseudo‐parabolic equations with a nonlocal term

A sufficient condition for blowup of solutions to a class of pseudo‐parabolic equations with a nonlocal term is established in this paper. In virtue of the potential wells method, we first extend the results obtained by Xu and Su in [J. Funct. Anal., 264 (12): 2732‐2763, 2013] to the nonlocal case and describe successfully the behavior of solutions by using the energy functional, Nehari functional, and the ground state energy of the stationary equation. Sequently, we study the boundedness and convergency of any global solution. Finally, we achieve a criterion to guarantee the blowup of solutions without any limit of the initial energy.Copyright © 2015 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

Well‐posedness,blow‐up phenomena and analyticity for a two‐component higher order Camassa–Holm system

In this paper, the local well‐posedness for the Cauchy problem of a two‐component higher‐order Camassa–Holm system (2HOCH) is established in Besov spaces with and (and also in Sobolev spaces with ), which improves the corresponding results for higher‐order Camassa–Holm in 7 , 24 , 25 , where the Sobolev index is required, respectively. Then the precise blow‐up mechanism and global existence for the strong solutions of 2HOCH are determined in the lowest Sobolev space with . Finally, the Gevrey regularity and analyticity of the 2HOCH are presented.     

Semi‐strong and strong solutions for variable density asymmetric fluids in unbounded domains

We establish the existence of local in time semi‐strong solutions and global in time strong solutions for the system of equations describing flows of viscous and incompressible asymmetric fluids with variable density in general three‐dimensional domains with boundary uniformly of class C³. Under suitable assumptions, uniqueness of local semi‐strong solutions is also proved. Copyright © 2016 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

On para‐Kähler Lie algebroids and contravariant pseudo‐Hessian structures

In this paper, we generalize all the results obtained on para‐Kähler Lie algebras in [3] to para‐Kähler Lie algebroids. In particular, we study exact para‐Kähler Lie algebroids as a generalization of exact para‐Kähler Lie algebras. This study leads to a natural generalization of pseudo‐Hessian manifolds, we call them contravariant pseudo‐Hessian manifolds. Contravariant pseudo‐Hessian manifolds have many similarities with Poisson manifolds. We explore these similarities which, among others, leads to a powerful machinery to build examples of non trivial pseudo‐Hessian structures. Namely, we will show that given a finite dimensional commutative and associative algebra , the orbits of the action Φ of on given by are pseudo‐Hessian manifolds, where . We illustrate this result by considering many examples of associative commutative algebras and show that the resulting pseudo‐Hessian manifolds are very interesting.     

The blow‐up criteria of smooth solutions to the generalized and ideal incompressible viscoelastic flow

In this paper, we prove two blow‐up criteria of smooth solution: one for the generalized incompressible Oldroyd model with fractional Laplacian velocity dissipation (?Δ)^αu in the space and one for the inviscid Oldroyd model. Assume that (u(t,x),F(t,x)) is a smooth solution to the generalized Oldroyd model in [0,T); then, the solution (u(t,x),F(t,x)) does not develop singularity until t = T provided . For the ideal impressible viscoelastic flow, it is shown that the smooth solution (u,F) can be extended beyond T if , which is an improvement of the result given by Hu and Hynd (A blowup criterion for ideal viscoelastic flow, J. Math. Fluid Mech., 15(2013), 431–437). Copyright © 2015 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

Global existence and nonexistence of solutions for the nonlinear pseudo‐parabolic equation with a memory term

In this paper, we study the initial boundary value problem of nonlinear pseudo‐parabolic equation with a memory term with initial conditions and Dirichlet boundary conditions. By the combination of the Galerkin method and Potential well theory, the existence of global solutions is derived. Moreover, not only the finite time blow up of solutions with the negative initial energy (E(0) < 0) but also the finite time blow up results with the nonnegative initial energy (0≤E(0) < d_k) are obtained by using Concavity method and Potential well theory.

Well‐posedness for the Cauchy problem of the modified Hunter–Saxton equation in the Besov spaces

This paper is concerned with the Cauchy problem of the modified Hunter‐Saxton equation. The local well‐posedness of the model equation is obtained in Besov spaces (which generalize the Sobolev spaces H^s) by using Littlewood‐Paley decomposition and transport equation theory. Moreover, the local well‐posedness in critical case (with ) is considered.     

Instability of cnoidal‐peak for the NLS‐δ equation

We study the existence and stability of standing waves for the periodic cubic nonlinear Schrödinger equation with a point defect determined by the periodic Dirac distribution at the origin. We show that this model admits a smooth curve of periodic‐peak standing wave solutions with a profile determined by the Jacobi elliptic function of cnoidal type. Via a perturbation method and continuation argument, we obtain that in the repulsive defect, the cnoidal‐peak standing wave solutions are unstable in $H^1_{per}$ with respect to perturbations which have the same period as the wave itself. Global well‐posedness is verified for the Cauchy problem in $H^1_{per}$ .     

Direct pseudo‐spectral method for optimal control of obstacle problem – an optimal control problem governed by elliptic variational inequality

In this paper, a computational technique based on the pseudo‐spectral method is presented for the solution of the optimal control problem constrained with elliptic variational inequality. In fact, our aim in this paper is to present a direct approach for this class of optimal control problems. By using the pseudo‐spectral method, the infinite dimensional mathematical programming with equilibrium constraint, which can be an equivalent form of the considered problem, is converted to a finite dimensional mathematical programming with complementarity constraint. Then, the finite dimensional problem can be solved by the well‐developed methods. Finally, numerical examples are presented to show the validity and efficiency of the technique.

Non‐relativistic continuous states in arbitrary dimension for a ring‐shaped pseudo‐Coulomb and energy‐dependent potentials

In this research, the non‐relativistic particle scattering has been investigated for an alternative pseudo‐Coulomb potential plus ring‐shaped and an energy‐dependent potentials in D‐dimensional space. The normalized wave functions of continuous states on the k/2π scale are expressed in terms of the hyper‐geometric series, and formula of phase shifts is presented. Analytical properties of the scattering amplitude and thermodynamics properties are discussed. Some of the numerical results of energy levels have been calculated too.

Rational and semi‐rational solutions of a nonlocal (2 + 1)‐dimensional nonlinear Schrödinger equation

We consider the fully parity‐time (PT) symmetric nonlocal (2 + 1)‐dimensional nonlinear Schrödinger (NLS) equation with respect to x and y. By using Hirota's bilinear method, we derive the N‐soliton solutions of the nonlocal NLS equation. By using the resulting N‐soliton solutions and employing long wave limit method, we derive its nonsingular rational solutions and semi‐rational solutions. The rational solutions act as the line rogue waves. The semi‐rational solutions mean different types of combinations in rogue waves, breathers, and periodic line waves. Furthermore, in order to easily understand the dynamic behaviors of the nonlocal NLS equation, we display some graphics to analyze the characteristics of these solutions.     

Bifurcation and multiplicity results for critical fractional p‐Laplacian problems

We prove a bifurcation and multiplicity result for a critical fractional p‐Laplacian problem that is the analog of the Brézis‐Nirenberg problem for the nonlocal quasilinear case. This extends a result in the literature for the semilinear case to all , in particular, it gives a new existence result. When , the nonlinear operator , has no linear eigenspaces, so our extension is nontrivial and requires a new abstract critical point theorem that is not based on linear subspaces. We prove a new abstract result based on a pseudo‐index related to the ‐cohomological index that is applicable here.     

Stability and Hopf bifurcation in a class of nonlocal delay differential equation with the zero‐flux boundary condition

The aim of this paper is to study the stability and Hopf bifurcation in a general class of differential equation with nonlocal delayed feedback that models the population dynamics of a two age structured spices. The existence of Hopf bifurcation is firstly established after delicately analyzing the eigenvalue problem of the linearized nonlocal equation. The direction of the Hopf bifurcation and stability of the bifurcated periodic solutions are then investigated by means of center manifold reduction. Subsequently, we apply our main results to explore the spatial‐temporal patterns of the nonlocal Mackey‐Glass equation. We obtain both spatially homogeneous and inhomogeneous periodic solutions and numerically show that the former is stable while the latter is unstable. We also show that the inhomogeneous periodic solutions will eventually tend to homogeneous periodic solutions after transient oscillations and increasing of the immature mobility constant will shorten the transient oscillation time.     

Genus polynomials and crosscap‐number polynomials for ring‐like graphs

An H‐linear graph is obtained by transforming a collection of copies of a fixed graph H into a chain. An H‐ring‐like graph is formed by binding the two end‐copies of H in such a chain to each other. Genus polynomials have been calculated for bindings of several kinds. In this paper, we substantially generalize the rules for constructing sequences of H‐ring‐like graphs from sequences of H‐linear graphs, and we give a general method for obtaining a recursion for the genus polynomials of the graphs in a sequence of ring‐like graphs. We use Chebyshev polynomials to obtain explicit formulas for the genus polynomials of several such sequences. We also give methods for obtaining recursions for partial genus polynomials and for crosscap‐number polynomials of a bar‐ring of a sequence of disjoint graphs.     

Stability and Neimark–Sacker bifurcation of a ratio‐dependence predator–prey model

In this paper, stability and bifurcation of a two‐dimensional ratio‐dependence predator–prey model has been studied in the close first quadrant . It is proved that the model undergoes a period‐doubling bifurcation in a small neighborhood of a boundary equilibrium and moreover, Neimark–Sacker bifurcation occurs at a unique positive equilibrium. We study the Neimark–Sacker bifurcation at unique positive equilibrium by choosing b as a bifurcation parameter. Some numerical simulations are presented to illustrate theocratical results.

Global existence and bounds for blow‐up time in a class of nonlinear pseudo‐parabolic equations with a memory term

In this article, we consider the initial boundary value problem for a class of nonlinear pseudo‐parabolic equations with a memory term: Under suitable assumptions, we obtain the local and global existence of the solution by Galerkin method. We prove finite‐time blow‐up of the solution for initial data at arbitrary energy level and obtain upper bounds for blow‐up time by using the concavity method. In addition, by means of differential inequality technique, we obtain a lower bound for blow‐up time of the solution if blow‐up occurs.     

Well‐posedness and exact controllability of the mass balance equations for an extrusion process

In this paper, we study the well‐posedness and exact controllability of a physical model for an extrusion process in the isothermal case. The model expresses the mass balance in the extruder chamber and consists of a hyperbolic partial differential equation (PDE) and a nonlinear ordinary differential equation (ODE) whose dynamics describes the evolution of a moving interface. By suitable change of coordinates and fixed point arguments, we prove the existence, uniqueness, and regularity of the solution and finally, the exact controllability of the coupled system.

Well‐posedness and unique continuation property for the generalized Ostrovsky equation with low regularity

In this paper, we investigate the initial value problem (IVP henceforth) associated with the generalized Ostrovsky equation as follows: with initial data in the modified Sobolev space . Using Fourier restriction norm method, Tao's [k,Z]?multiplier method and the contraction mapping principle, we show that the local well‐posedness is established for the initial data with (k = 2) and is established for the initial data with (k = 3). Using these results and conservation laws, we also prove that the IVP is globally well‐posed for the initial data with s = 0(k = 2,3). Finally, using complex variables technique and Paley–Wiener theorem, we prove the unique continuation property for the IVP benefited from the ideas of Zhang ZY. et al., On the unique continuation property for the modified Kawahara equation, Advances in Mathematics (China), http://advmath.pku.edu.cn/CN/10.11845/sxjz.2014078b .
