Two-dimensional wave equations with fractal boundaries

This paper focuses on two cases of two-dimensional wave equations with fractal boundaries. The first case is the equation with classical derivative. The formal solution is obtained. And a definition of the solution is given. Then we prove that under certain conditions, the solution is a kind of fractal function, which is continuous, differentiable nowhere in its domain. Next, for specific given initial position and 3 different initial velocities, the graphs of solutions are sketched. By computing the box dimensions of boundaries of cross-sections for solution surfaces, we evaluate the range of box dimension of the vibrating membrane. The second case is the equation with p-type derivative. The corresponding solution is shown and numerical example is given.

Trace results on domains with self-similar fractal boundaries

This work deals with trace theorems for a family of ramified bidimensional domains Ω with a self-similar fractal boundary Γ^∞. The fractal boundary Γ^∞ is supplied with a probability measure μ called the self-similar measure. Emphasis is put on the case when the domain is not a −δ domain and the fractal is not post-critically finite, for which classical results cannot be used. It is proven that the trace of a function in H¹(Ω) belongs to for all real numbers p1. A counterexample shows that the trace of a function in H¹(Ω) may not belong to BMO(μ) (and therefore may not belong to ). Finally, it is proven that the traces of the functions in H¹(Ω) belong to H^s(Γ^∞) for all real numbers s such that 0s<d_H/4, where d_H is the Hausdorff dimension of Γ^∞. Examples of functions whose traces do not belong to H^s(Γ^∞) for all s>d_H/4 are supplied.There is an important contrast with the case when Γ^∞ is post-critically finite, for which the functions in H¹(Ω) have their traces in H^s(Γ^∞) for all s such that 0s<d_H/2.     

Trees with non-regular fractal boundary

For any given 0 〈α 〈 β 〈 ∞, we construct a tree such that under tree metric, the Hausdorff dimension of the corresponding boundary is α, but both the Packing dimension and the boxing dimension are β. Applying the connection between tree and iterated functions system, non- regular fractal sets on real line are constructed. Moreover, the method adopted in our paper is different from those which have been used before for constructing non-regular fractal set in general metric space.     

Counting function asymptotics and the weak Weyl-Berry conjecture for connected domains with fractal boundaries

In this paper, we study the spectral asymptotics for connected fractal domains and Weyl-Berry conjecture. We prove, for some special connected fractal domains, the sharp estimate for second term of counting function asymptotics, which implies that the weak form of the Weyl-Berry conjecture holds for the case. Finally, we also study a naturally connected fractal domain, and we prove, in this case, the weak Weyl-Berry conjecture holds as well.

Asymptotic behavior of solutions to the perturbed simple pendulum problems with two parameters

We consider the perturbed simple pendulum equation –u ″(t) + μ |u (t)|^{p –1}u (t) = λ sin u (t), t ∈ I ? (–T, T), u (t) > 0, t ∈ I, u (±T) = 0, where p > 1 is a constant,λ > 0 and μ ∈ R are parameters. The purpose of this paper is to clarify the structure of the solution set. To do this, we study precisely the asymptotic shape of the solutions when λ ? 1 as well as the asymptotic behavior of variational eigenvalue μ (λ) as λ → ∞. (© 2007 WILEY‐VCH Verlag GmbH & Co.

Periodic orbit of the pendulum with a small nonlinear damping

We study the pendulum with a small nonlinear damping, which can be expressed by a Hamiltonian system with a small perturbation. We prove that a unique periodic orbit exists for any initial position between the equilibrium point and the heteroclinic orbit of the unperturbed system, depending on the choice of the bifurcation parameter in the damping. The main tools are bifurcation theory and Abelian integral technique, as well as the Zhang''s uniqueness theorem on Li\''enard equations.     

Limit cycles in the equation of whirling pendulum with autonomous perturbation

The two-parameter Hamiltonian system with the autonomous perturbation is considered. Via the Mel'nikov method, existence and uniqueness of a limit cycle of the system in a certain region of a two-dimensional space of parameters is proved.     

Chaotic motions in the resonant separatrix band of a parametrically excited pendulum

The energy increment spectrum method is developed for the numerical prediction of the appearance and disappearance of a primary (2M: 1)-librational or (M: 1)-rotational resonant separatrix band in a parametrically excited pendulum. The analytical conditions for the presence of such separatrix bands are also obtained. Illustrations of the analytical and numerical results for the appearance and destruction of the resonant bands are given for a comparison.     

Harmonizing model with transfer tax on water pollution across regional boundaries in a China’s lake basin

This paper presents a bilevel programming framework for a harmonizing model with transfer tax (HMTT) on water pollution across regional boundaries of a lake basin in China, where the administrator is the upper-level decision maker and individual regions consisting of the lake basin are the lower-level decision makers (followers). Leader’s cost is the total pollution reduction cost, whereas each region selfishly minimizes its own cost including reduction cost and transfer cost, given the transfer tax rate imposed by the leader. The HMTT guarantees that the imposed environmental quality standard is met through the transfer tax. Based on the KKT conditions of an auxiliary problem, we obtain that the solution set of the HMTT is nonempty. An algorithm is proposed, with the convergence result, to compute the cost-minimized transfer tax rate along with the reduction quantities of individual regions. Theoretical analysis and a case study for China’s Taihu Lake Basin show that the HMTT is superior to the current model of proportional share of pollution reduction (MPSPR). The HMTT not only solves the problem of conflicts over water pollution across regional boundaries but also utilizes the resources of the lake basin more efficiently.     

On the local fractional wave equation in fractal strings

The key aim of the present study is to attain nondifferentiable solutions of extended wave equation by making use of a local fractional derivative describing fractal strings by applying local fractional homotopy perturbation Laplace transform scheme. The convergence and uniqueness of the obtained solution by using suggested scheme is also examined. To determine the computational efficiency of offered scheme, some numerical examples are discussed. The results extracted with the aid of this technique verify that the suggested algorithm is suitable to execute, and numerical computational work is very interesting.

Bifurcation in the stable manifold of a chemostat with general polynomial yields

A three‐dimensional chemostat with nth‐ and mth‐order polynomial yields, instead of the particular ones such as A+BS, A+BS², A+BS³, A+BS⁴, A+BS² + CS³, and A+BSⁿ, is proposed. The existence of limit cycles in the two‐dimensional stable manifold, the Hopf bifurcation, and the stability of the periodic solution created by the bifurcation is proved.

New methods to bound the critical probability in fractal percolation

We study the critical probability p_c(M) in two‐dimensional M‐adic fractal percolation. To find lower bounds, we compare fractal percolation with site percolation. Fundamentally new is the construction of a computable increasing sequence that converges to p_c(M). We prove that and . For the upper bounds, we introduce an iterative random process on a finite alphabet , which is easier to analyze than the original process. We show that and . © 2014 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Change in the structure of polymer matrix of particulate-filled composites: The fractal treatment

An obligatory change (disturbance) in the structure of a polymer matrix is shown to arise upon injecting a disperse filler in it, which is determined by the fractal structure of the skeleton formed by filler particles. The characteristic of this disturbance is obtained in terms of change in the fractal dimension d _f of polymer matrix structure. Tentative estimates show a good correspondence between the values of d _f obtained and experimental data.Translated from Mekhanika Kompozitnykh Materialov, Vol. 40, No. 6, pp. 827–834, November–December, 2004.
