Fluctuations in the homogenization of semilinear equations with random potentials

We study the stochastic homogenization and obtain a random fluctuation theory for semilinear elliptic equations with a rapidly varying random potential. To first order, the effective potential is the average potential and the nonlinearity is not affected by the randomness. We then study the limiting distribution of the properly scaled homogenization error (random fluctuations) in the space of square integrable functions, and prove that the limit is a Gaussian distribution characterized by homogenized solution, the Green’s function of the linearized equation around the homogenized solution, and by the integral of the correlation function of the random potential. These results enlarge the scope of the framework that we have developed for linear equations to the class of semilinear equations.     

Uniqueness in the inverse transmission scattering problem for periodic media

We study the problem of the scattering by a periodic, penetrable medium. We present certain uniqueness results and give the integral equation formulation of the transmission problem which is of Fredholm type and provides the existence and continuous dependence result. Next we investigate the question of the uniqueness for the inverse transmission problem, i.e. we concentrate on the amount of information that is necessary to completely determine the profile and constitutive parameters of the scattering grating.

Note on Fractional Green's Function

In this paper, we modify some errors on the definition of fractional Green''s function in monograph [5], and give the solution of the inhomogenous equation which satisfies the given inhomogenous initial conditions by fractional Green''s function.     

Fractional boundary value problems with integral boundary conditions

In this article, we study a type of nonlinear fractional boundary value problem with integral boundary conditions. By constructing an associated Green's function, applying spectral theory and using fixed point theory on cones, we obtain criteria for the existence, multiplicity and nonexistence of positive solutions.     

Green's function solution of the time-dependent solar collector problem

The Green's function for the time-dependent solar collector problem is derived and examined. It is found that the influence of a point source of irradiance propagates with the speed of the heat transfer fluid. This result contradicts some earlier work.An analytical expression is derived for the output fluid temperature in terms of the irradiance as a function of position and time. Fluctuations in ambient and input fluid temperatures are also considered.     

Lyapunov type inequalities for a fractional two‐point boundary value problem

In this paper, new Lyapunov‐type inequalities are obtained for the case when one is dealing with a class of fractional two‐point boundary value problems. As an application of this result, we obtain a lower bound for the eigenvalues of corresponding equations. Copyright © 2016 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

Sampling of Discontinuous Dirac Systems

Homogenization and error analysis of an optimal interior control problem in the framework of Stokes’ system, on a domain with rapidly oscillating boundary, are the subject matters of this article. We consider a three dimensional domain constituted of a parallelepiped with a large number of rectangular cylinders at the top of it. An interior control is applied in a proper subdomain of the parallelepiped, away from the oscillating volume. We consider two types of functionals, namely a functional involving the L ²-norm of the state variable and another one involving its H ¹-norm. The asymptotic analysis of optimality systems for both cases, when the cross sectional area of the rectangular cylinders tends to zero, is done here. Our major contribution is to derive error estimates for the state, the co-state and the associated pressures, in appropriate functional spaces.     

Potential fields induced by point sources in assemblies of shells weakened with apertures

Well‐posed boundary‐value problems in multiply‐connected regions are targeted for some sets of two‐dimensional Laplace equations written in geographical coordinates on joint surfaces of revolution. Those are problems that simulate potential fields induced by point sources in joint perforated thin shell structures consist of fragments of different geometry. A semi‐analytical approach is proposed to accurately compute solutions of such problems. The approach is based on the matrix of Green's type formalism. The elements of required matrices of Green's type are obtained analytically and expressed in closed computer‐friendly form. This makes it possible to efficiently deal with the targeted class of problems. Copyright © 2014 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

Pointwise supercloseness of pentahedral finite elements

This article derives the weak estimate of the first type for pentahedral finite elements over uniform partitions of the domain for the Poisson equation. The estimate for the W^1,1‐seminorm of the discrete derivative Green's function is also given. Using these two estimates, we obtain the pointwise supercloseness of derivatives of the pentahedral finite element approximation and the interpolant to the true solution. © 2009 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Superconvergence of tetrahedral quadratic finite elements for a variable coefficient elliptic equation

For a variable coefficient elliptic boundary value problem in three dimensions, using the properties of the bubble function and the element cancelation technique, we derive the weak estimate of the first type for tetrahedral quadratic elements. In addition, the estimate for the W^1,1‐seminorm of the discrete derivative Green's function is also given. Finally, we show that the derivatives of the finite element solution u_h and the corresponding interpolant Π₂u are superclose in the pointwise sense of the L^∞‐norm. © 2012 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Positive Solutions of Second-order Difference Equation with Variable Coefficient on the Infinite Interval

In this paper, based on the one-signed Green''s function and the compact results on the infinite interval, we obtain the existence and multiplicity of positive solutions for the boundary value problems \begin{align*} \left\{\begin{array}{ll} \Delta^2x(n-1)-p(n)\Delta x(n-1)-q(n)x(n-1)+f(n,x(n))=0, \ n\in\mathbb{N}, \\[0ex] \alpha x(0)-\beta\Delta x(0)=0, \quad \ \ \lim\limits_{n\rightarrow\infty}x(n)=0 \end{array} \right. \end{align*} by the fixed point theorem in cones. The main results extend some results in the previous literature.
