The blow-up rates for systems of heat equations with nonlinear boundary conditions

This paper deals with the blow-up rate estimates of positive solutions for systems of heat equations with nonlinear boundary conditions. The upper and lower bounds of blow-up rate are obtained.     

Bifurcations and inviscid limit of rhombic Navier-Stokes flows in tori

We consider viscous incompressible fluid motions on two-dimensionaltori. Unlike many papers which treat the cases where the basicflow is a parallel flow, we consider here the case where theflow pattern is rhombic. We numerically compute the bifurcatingsolutions and find that (1) the bifurcating branch is a transcriticalone, (2) on one side of the branch, the solution displays asharp interior layer in the inviscid limit, and (3) on the otherside of the branch, the solutions in the inviscid limit do notpossess an interior layer.     

On the global existence and finite time blow-up of shadow systems

Shadow systems are often used to approximate reaction-diffusion systems when one of the diffusion rates is large. In this paper, we study the global existence and blow-up phenomena for shadow systems. Our results show that even for these fundamental aspects, there are serious discrepancies between the dynamics of the reaction-diffusion systems and that of their corresponding shadow systems.     

Global solutions and blow-up for a class of strongly damped wave equations systems

The initial-boundary value problem for semilinear wave equation systems with a strong dissipative term in bounded domain is studied. The existence of global solutions for this problem is proved by using potential well method, and the exponential decay of global solutions is given through introducing an appropriate Lyapunov function. Meanwhile, blow-up of solutions in the unstable set is also obtained.     

Global existence,asymptotic stability and blow-up of solutions for the generalized Boussinesq equation with nonlinear boundary condition

In this paper, we consider initial boundary value problem of the generalized Boussinesq equation with nonlinear interior source and boundary absorptive terms. We establish firstly the local existence of solutions by standard Galerkin method. Then we prove both the global existence of the solution and a general decay of the energy functions under some restrictions on the initial data. We also prove a blow-up result for solutions with positive and negative initial energy respectively.

Qualitative properties of blow-up solutions to some semilinear elliptic systems in non-convex domains

In this paper we study qualitative properties of boundary blow-up solutions to some semilinear elliptic cooperative systems in bounded non-convex domains. In particular, by a careful adaptation of the celebrated moving plane procedure of Alexandrov–Serrin, we deduce symmetry and monotonicity results for blow-up solutions for this class of systems.     

Global stability and asymptotics of some classes of rational difference equations

In this note we prove that the positive solutions of some classes of rational difference equations are globally asymptotically stable. Using a Berg's result, we also find asymptotics of some solutions of these equations.     

Asymptotic behavior of vortices in axisymmetric flow without swirl

We investigate the confinement properties of bounded, nonnegative, compactly supported vortices of axisymmetric incompressible Euler flows without swirl. We show that along one direction of the symmetry axis, its support can grow no faster than O[(t log t)^1/2]. The rate at which it approaches the symmetry axis is also estimated. Together with the result of Maffei–Marchioro on the radial growth rate of the support, it is contained in a slowly expanding tubular region. The techniques of the above‐mentioned authors, Iftimie–Lopes–Nussenzveig and Iftimie–Sideris–Gamblin, are used. Copyright © 2008 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

Finite time blow-up and global existence of weak solutions for pseudo-parabolic equation with exponential nonlinearity

This paper is concerned with the initial boundary value problem of a class of pseudo-parabolic equation $u_t - \triangle u - \triangle u_t + u = f(u)$ with an exponential nonlinearity. The eigenfunction method and the Galerkin method are used to prove the blow-up, the local existence and the global existence of weak solutions. Moreover, we also obtain other properties of weak solutions by the eigenfunction method.     

The sharp threshold and limiting profile of blow-up solutions for a Davey-Stewartson system

The blow-up solutions of the Cauchy problem for the Davey-Stewartson system, which is a model equation in the theory of shallow water waves, are investigated. Firstly, the existence of the ground state for the system derives the best constant of a Gagliardo-Nirenberg type inequality and the variational character of the ground state. Secondly, the blow-up threshold of the Davey-Stewartson system is developed in R³. Thirdly, the mass concentration is established for all the blow-up solutions of the system in R². Finally, the existence of the minimal blow-up solutions in R² is constructed by using the pseudo-conformal invariance. The profile of the minimal blow-up solutions as t→T (blow-up time) is in detail investigated in terms of the ground state.     

Stagnation point flow of dusty Casson fluid with thermal radiation and buoyancy effects

The aim of the study is to examine the stagnation point flow of a dusty Casson fluid over a stretching sheet with thermal radiation and buoyancy effects. The governing boundary layer equations are represented by a system of partial differential equation. After applying suitable similarity transformations, the resulting boundary layer equations are solved numerically using the Runge Kutta Fehlberg fourth-fifth order method (RKF-45 method). The behaviors of velocity, temperature and concentration profiles of fluid and dusty particles with respect to change in fluid particle interaction parameter, Casson paramter, Grashof number, radiation parameter, Prandtl number, number density, thermal equilibrium time, relaxation time, specific heat of fluid and dusty particles, ratio of diffusion coefficients, Schmidt number and Eckert number are analysed graphically and discussed. Our computed results interpret that velocity distribution decays for higher estimation of Casson parameter while temperature distribution shows increasing behavior for larger radiation parameter.     

The uniform convergence and precise asymptotics of generalized stochastic order statistics

Let X(i,n,m,k), i=1,…,n, be generalized order statistics based on F. For fixed r∈N, and a suitable counting process N(t), t>0, we mainly discuss the precise asymptotic of the generalized stochastic order statistics X(N(n)−r+1,N(n),m,k). It not only makes the results of Yan, Wang and Cheng [J.G. Yan, Y.B. Wang, F.Y. Cheng, Precise asymptotics for order statistics of a non-random sample and a random sample, J. Systems Sci. Math. Sci. 26 (2) (2006) 237-244] as the special case of our result, and presents many groups of weighted functions and boundary functions, but also permits a unified approach to several models of ordered random variables.     

Analysis of unsteady stagnation‐point flow over a shrinking sheet and solving the equation with rational Chebyshev functions

This paper investigates the nonlinear boundary value problem, resulting from the exact reduction of the Navier–Stokes equations for unsteady laminar boundary layer flow caused by a stretching surface in a quiescent viscous incompressible fluid. We prove existence of solutions for all values of the relevant parameters and provide unique results in the case of a monotonic solution. The results are obtained using a topological shooting argument, which varies a parameter related to the axial shear stress. To solve this equation, a numerical method is proposed based on a rational Chebyshev functions spectral method. Using the operational matrices of derivative, we reduced the problem to a set of algebraic equations. We also compare this work with some other numerical results and present a solution that proves to be highly accurate. Copyright © 2016 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

On asymptotics of t-type regression estimation in multiple linear model

We consider a robust estimator (t-type regression estimator) of multiple linear regression model by maximizing marginal likelihood of a scaled t-type error t-distribution. The marginal likelihood can also be applied to the de-correlated response when the within-subject correlation can be consistently estimated from an initial estimate of the model based on the independent working assumption. This paper shows that such a t-type estimator is consistent.
