Nonoverlapping domain decomposition characteristic finite differences for three‐dimensional convection‐diffusion equations

One domain decomposition method modified with characteristic differences is presented for non‐periodic three‐dimensional equations by multiply‐type quadratic interpolation and variant time‐step technique. This method consists of reduced‐scale, two‐dimensional computation on subdomain interface boundaries and fully implicit subdomain computation in parallel. A computational algorithm is outlined and an error estimate in discrete l²‐ norm is established by introducing new inner products and norms. Finally, numerical examples are given to illustrate the theoretical results, efficiency and parallelism of this method. © 2010 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Stability of two‐dimensional magnetohydrodynamic motions in the periodic case

We investigate the stability of two‐dimensional periodic solutions to magnetohydrodynamics equations in the class of three‐dimensional periodic solutions. We show the existence of global, strong three‐dimensional solutions to magnetohydrodynamics equations, which are close to two‐dimensional solutions. The advantage of our approach is that neither these solutions nor the external forces have to vanish at infinity. Copyright © 2015 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

Multi‐dimensional conservation laws and integrable systems

In this paper, we introduce a new property of two‐dimensional integrable hydrodynamic chains—existence of infinitely many local three‐dimensional conservation laws for pairs of integrable two‐dimensional commuting flows. Infinitely many local three‐dimensional conservation laws for the Benney commuting hydrodynamic chains are constructed. As a by‐product, we established a new method for computation of local conservation laws for three‐dimensional integrable systems. The Mikhalëv equation and the dispersionless limit of the Kadomtsev‐Petviashvili equation are investigated. All known local and infinitely many new quasilocal three‐dimensional conservation laws are presented. Also four‐dimensional conservation laws are considered for couples of three‐dimensional integrable quasilinear systems and for triplets of corresponding hydrodynamic chains.     

Time‐Periodic Forcing and Asymptotic Stability for the Navier‐Stokes‐Maxwell Equations

For the three‐dimensional Navier‐Stokes‐Maxwell problem on the whole space and in the presence of external time‐periodic forces, first we study the existence of time‐periodic small solutions, and then we prove their asymptotic stability. We use a new type of spaces to account for averaged decay in time.© 2017 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.     

Numerical solutions of nonlinear 3‐dimensional Volterra integral‐differential equations with 3D‐block‐pulse functions

This paper studies nonlinear 3‐dimensional Volterra integral‐differential equations, by implementing 3‐dimensional block‐pulse functions. First, we prove a theorem and corollary about sufficient condition for the minimum of mean square error under the block pulse coefficients and uniqueness of solution of the nonlinear Volterra integral‐differential equations. Then, we convert the main problem to a nonlinear system to the 3‐dimensional block‐pulse functions. In addition, illustrative examples are included to demonstrate the validity and applicability of the presented method.     

Analytical and numerical solutions of a two‐dimensional multi‐term time‐fractional Oldroyd‐B model

In this paper, we consider a two‐dimensional multi‐term time‐fractional Oldroyd‐B equation on a rectangular domain. Its analytical solution is obtained by the method of separation of variables. We employ the finite difference method with a discretization of the Caputo time‐fractional derivative to obtain an implicit difference approximation for the equation. Stability and convergence of the approximation scheme are established in the L_∞ ‐norm. Two examples are given to illustrate the theoretical analysis and analytical solution. The results indicate that the present numerical method is effective for this general two‐dimensional multi‐term time‐fractional Oldroyd‐B model.     

The existence of periodic solutions for nonlinear beam equations on by a para‐differential method

This paper focuses on the construction of periodic solutions of nonlinear beam equations on the d‐dimensional tori. For a large set of frequencies, we demonstrate that an equivalent form of the nonlinear equations can be obtained by a para‐differential conjugation. Given the nonresonant conditions on each finite dimensional subspaces, it is shown that the periodic solutions can be constructed for the block diagonal equation by a classical iteration scheme.     

An adaptive sampling method for high‐dimensional shift‐invariant signals

In this paper, an adaptive method for sampling and reconstructing high‐dimensional shift‐invariant signals is proposed. First, the integrate‐and‐fire sampling scheme and an approximate reconstruction algorithm for one‐dimensional bandlimited signals are generalized to shift‐invariant signals. Then, a high‐dimensional shift‐invariant signal is reduced to be a sequence of one‐dimensional shift‐invariant signals along the trajectories parallel to some coordinate axis, which can be approximately reconstructed by the generalized integrate‐and‐fire sampling scheme. Finally, an approximate reconstruction for the high‐dimensional shift‐invariant signal is obtained by solving a series of stable linear systems of equations. The main result shows that the final reconstructed error is completely determined by the initial threshold in integrate‐and‐fire sampling scheme, which is generally very small.

Klein‐Gordon‐Zakharov system in energy space: Blow‐up profile and subsonic limit

In this paper, we prove finite‐time blowup in energy space for the three‐dimensional Klein‐Gordon‐Zakharov (KGZ) system by modified concavity method. We obtain the blow‐up rates of solutions in local and global space, respectively. In addition, by using the energy convergence, we study the subsonic limit of the Cauchy problem for KGZ system and prove that any finite energy solution converges to the corresponding solution of Klein‐Gordon equation in energy space.     

Global well‐posedness and blow‐up criterion for the periodic quasi‐geostrophic equations in Lei‐Lin‐Gevrey spaces

In this paper we consider a periodic 2‐dimensional quasi‐geostrophic equations with subcritical dissipation. We show the global existence and uniqueness of the solution for small initial data in the Lei‐Lin‐Gevrey spaces . Moreover, we establish an exponential type explosion in finite time of this solution.     

Three‐dimensional internal gravity‐capillary waves in finite depth

We consider three‐dimensional inviscid‐irrotational flow in a two‐layer fluid under the effects of gravity and surface tension, where the upper fluid is bounded above by a rigid lid and the lower fluid is bounded below by a flat bottom. We use a spatial dynamics approach and formulate the steady Euler equations as an infinite‐dimensional Hamiltonian system, where an unbounded spatial direction x is considered as a time‐like coordinate. In addition, we consider wave motions that are periodic in another direction z. By analyzing the dispersion relation, we detect several bifurcation scenarios, two of which we study further: a type of 00(is)(iκ₀) resonance and a Hamiltonian Hopf bifurcation. The bifurcations are investigated by performing a center‐manifold reduction, which yields a finite‐dimensional Hamiltonian system. For this finite‐dimensional system, we establish the existence of periodic and homoclinic orbits, which correspond to, respectively, doubly periodic travelling waves and oblique travelling waves with a dark or bright solitary wave profile in the x direction. The former are obtained using a variational Lyapunov‐Schmidt reduction and the latter by first applying a normal form transformation and then studying the resulting canonical system of equations.     

Navier–Stokes equations in aperture domains: Global existence with bounded flux and time‐periodic solutions

We consider the Navier–Stokes equations in an aperture domain of the three‐dimensional Euclidean space. We are interested in proving the existence of regular solutions corresponding to small initial data and flux through the aperture. The flux is assumed to be smooth and bounded on (0, +∞). As a consequence, we prove the existence of a time‐periodic solution corresponding to a time‐periodic flux through the aperture. Finally, we compare our solution with a solution belonging to a wider class, showing that, if such a solution does exist, then the two solutions coincide.

Global existence to a three‐dimensional non‐linear thermoelasticity system arising in shape memory materials

This paper is concerned with the unique global solvability of a three‐dimensional (3‐D) non‐linear thermoelasticity system arising from the study of shape memory materials. The system consists of the coupled evolutionary problems of viscoelasticity with non‐convex elastic energy and non‐linear heat conduction with mechanical dissipation. The present paper extends the previous 2‐D existence result of the authors Reference [1] to 3‐D case. This goal is achieved by means of the Leray–Schauder fixed point theorem using technique based on energy arguments and DeGiorgi method. Copyright © 2004 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

Maximum norm error analysis of an unconditionally stable semi‐implicit scheme for multi‐dimensional Allen–Cahn equations

In this paper, a linearized finite difference scheme is proposed for solving the multi‐dimensional Allen–Cahn equation. In the scheme, a modified leap‐frog scheme is used for the time discretization, the nonlinear term is treated in a semi‐implicit way, and the central difference scheme is used for the discretization in space. The proposed method satisfies the discrete energy decay property and is unconditionally stable. Moreover, a maximum norm error analysis is carried out in a rigorous way to show that the method is second‐order accurate both in time and space variables. Finally, numerical tests for both two‐ and three‐dimensional problems are provided to confirm our theoretical findings.     

A high‐order compact ADI method for solving three‐dimensional unsteady convection‐diffusion problems

We derive a high‐order compact alternating direction implicit (ADI) method for solving three‐dimentional unsteady convection‐diffusion problems. The method is fourth‐order in space and second‐order in time. It permits multiple uses of the one‐dimensional tridiagonal algorithm with a considerable saving in computing time and results in a very efficient solver. It is shown through a discrete Fourier analysis that the method is unconditionally stable in the diffusion case. Numerical experiments are conducted to test its high order and to compare it with the standard second‐order Douglas‐Gunn ADI method and the spatial fourth‐order compact scheme by Karaa. © 2005 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

A new approach by two‐dimensional wavelets operational matrix method for solving variable‐order fractional partial integro‐differential equations

In this paper, a new computational scheme based on operational matrices (OMs) of two‐dimensional wavelets is proposed for the solution of variable‐order (VO) fractional partial integro‐differential equations (PIDEs). To accomplish this method, first OMs of integration and VO fractional derivative (FD) have been derived using two‐dimensional Legendre wavelets. By implementing two‐dimensional wavelets approximations and the OMs of integration and variable‐order fractional derivative (VO‐FD) along with collocation points, the VO fractional partial PIDEs are reduced into the system of algebraic equations. In addition to this, some useful theorems are discussed to establish the convergence analysis and error estimate of the proposed numerical technique. Furthermore, computational efficiency and applicability are examined through some illustrative examples.     

Stability of the rarefaction wave for a coupled compressible Navier‐Stokes/Allen‐Cahn system

In this paper, we are concerned with the large time behavior of solutions to the Cauchy problem for the one dimensional Navier‐Stokes/Allen‐Cahn system. Motivated by the relationship between the Navier‐Stokes/Allen‐Cahn system and the Navier‐Stokes system, we can prove that the solutions to the one‐dimensional compressible Navier‐Stokes/Allen‐Cahn system tend time‐asymptotically to the rarefaction wave, where the strength of the rarefaction wave is not required to be small. The proof is mainly based on a basic energy method.     

The quasi‐reversibility method for a final value problem of the time‐fractional diffusion equation with inhomogeneous source

This paper is devoted to discuss a multidimensional backward heat conduction problem for time‐fractional diffusion equation with inhomogeneous source. This problem is ill‐posed. We use quasi‐reversibility regularization method to solve this inverse problem. Moreover, the convergence estimates between regularization solution and the exact solution are obtained under the a priori and the a posteriori choice rules. Finally, the numerical examples for one‐dimensional and two‐dimensional cases are presented to show that our method is feasible and effective.     

Asymptotic behavior of higher‐order Navier‐Stokes‐Cahn‐Hilliard systems

Our aim in this paper is to study the asymptotic behavior, in terms of finite‐dimensional attractors, for higher‐order Navier‐Stokes‐Cahn‐Hilliard systems. Such equations describe the evolution of a mixture of 2 immiscible incompressible fluids. We also give several numerical simulations.     

Statistical methods for automatic crack detection based on vibrothermography sequence‐of‐images data

Vibrothermography is a relatively new nondestructive evaluation technique for finding cracks through frictional heat generated from crack surface vibrations under external excitations. The vibrothermography inspection method provides a sequence of infrared images as the output. We use a matched filter technique to increase the signal‐to‐noise ratio of the sequence‐of‐images data. An automatic crack detection criterion based on the features extracted from the matched filter output greatly increases the sensitivity of the vibrothermography inspection method. In this paper, we develop a three‐dimensional matched filter for the sequence‐of‐images data, which presents the statistical analysis for the matched filter output, and evaluate the probability of detection. Our results show the crack detection criterion based on the matched filter output provides an improved detection capability. Copyright © 2010 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
