Energy Dissipation and Regularity for a Coupled Navier–Stokes and Q-Tensor System

We study a complex non-Newtonian fluid that models the flowof nematic liquid crystals. The fluid is described by a system that couples a forced Navier–Stokes system with a parabolic-type system. We prove the existence of global weak solutions in dimensions two and three.We show the existence of a Lyapunov functional for the smooth solutions of the coupled system and use cancellations that allow its existence to prove higher global regularity in dimension two. We also show the weak–strong uniqueness in dimension two.

Solitons in plasma with a hall dispersion

A system of equations of perfect magnetohydrodynamics is considered with allowance for Hall currents. The study of one-dimensional steady solutions which are damped at infinity can be reduced to the investigation of a Hamiltonian dynamic system with right-hand sides that are not single valued. A qualitative investigation of the system is carried out, with the determination of the region of existence of the given solutions. The solutions have the form of solitary waves — solitons. An exact solution in quadratures is obtained, which describes the structure of the solitons. The existence of two solitons of the Alfvén type is indicated. The existence domain of the corresponding solutions is analyzed. In the limiting cases of magnetosonic and Alfvén solitons, the solutions are expressed in explicit form in elementary functions.Translated from Izvestiya Akademii Nauk SSSR, Mekhanika Zhidkosti i Gaza, No. 5, pp. 161–168, September–October, 1985.     

非线性电报方程组的3个双周期正解问题

This paper studies existence of at least three positive doubly periodic solutions of a coupled nonlinear telegraph system with doubly periodic boundary conditions. First, by using the Green function and maximum principle, existence of solutions of a nonlinear telegraph system is equivalent to existence of fixed points of an operator. By imposing growth conditions on the nonlinearities, existence of at least three fixed points in cone is obtained by using the Leggett-Williams fixed point theorem to cones in ordered Banach spaces. In other words, there exist at least three positive doubly periodic solutions of nonlinear telegraph system.     

Reaction-diffusion systems in nonconvex domains: Invariant manifold and reduced form

A study is made of systems of weakly coupled, semilinear, parabolic equations, namely reaction-diffusion systems, subject to the homogeneous Neumann boundary conditions in parametrized nonconvex domains inR ². It is assumed that the domain approaches a union of two disjoint domains as the parameter varies. Under some conditions the long-time behavior of bounded solutions is discussed and the existence of a finite-dimensional invariant manifold is shown, together with its attractivity. This manifold is represented by a graph of some function defined in a possibly large bounded region of the phase space, and the original system is reduced to an ODE system on it. Since an explicit form of the reduced ODE system is given, its dynamics can be studied in detail, which in turn reveals the global dynamics of the original reaction-diffusion system. One can thereby prove, among other things, the existence of asymptotically stable equilibrium solutions of the original system having large spatial inhomogeneity. The existence and stability of a spatially inhomogeneous periodic solution of large amplitude are also discussed.     

Differential tones in a damped mechanical system with quadratic and cubic non-linearities

The combination tones of differential type are studied in a non-linear damped mechanical system of two degrees of freedom with quadratic and cubic non-linearities and excited by two external harmonic forces with different frequencies. Approximate steady state solutions and the corresponding Galerkin approximations of high order are obtained and error bounds are given. For a certain frequency the existence of three exact periodic solutions is proved by Urabe's method.

Global Solutions for a Coupled Compressible Navier–Stokes/Allen–Cahn System in 1D

In this paper, we investigate a coupled compressible Navier–Stokes/Allen–Cahn system which describes the motion of a mixture of two viscous compressible fluids. We prove the existence and uniqueness of global classical solution, the existence of weak solutions and the existence of unique strong solution of the Navier–Stokes/Allen–Cahn system in 1D for initial data ρ ₀ without vacuum states.     

Global Existence and Large Time Behavior of Strong Solutions to the 2-D Compressible Nematic Liquid Crystal Flows with Vacuum

This paper is concerned with the strong solutions to the Cauchy problem of a simplified Ericksen-Leslie system of compressible nematic liquid crystals in two or three dimensions with vacuum as far field density. For strong solutions, some a priori decay rate (in large time) for the pressure, the spatial gradient of velocity field and the second spatial gradient of liquid crystal director field are obtained provided that the initial total energy is suitably small. Furthermore, with the help of the key decay rates, we establish the global existence and uniqueness of strong solutions (which may be of possibly large oscillations) in two spatial dimensions.     

A Global Existence Result for a Zero Mach Number System

In this paper we study the global-in-time existence of weak solutions to a zero Mach number system that derives from the Navier–Stokes–Fourier system, under a special relationship between the viscosity coefficient and the heat conductivity coefficient. Roughly speaking, this relation implies that the source term in the equation for the newly introduced divergence-free velocity vector field vanishes. In dimension two, thanks to a local-in-time existence result of a unique strong solution in critical Besov spaces given by Danchin and Liao (Commun Contemp Math 14:1250022, 2012), for arbitrary large initial data, we show that this unique strong solution exists globally in time, as a consequence of a weak-strong uniqueness argument.     

EXISTENCE OF BOUNDED SOLUTIONS ON THE REAL LINE FOR LIENARD SYSTEM

The existence of monotone and non-monotone solutions of boundary value problem on the real line for Lienard equation is studied. Applying the theory of planar dynamical systems and the comparison method of vector fields defined by Lienard system and the system given by symmetric transformation or quasi-symmetric transformation, the invariant regions of the system are constructed. The existence of connecting orbits can be proved. A lot of sufficient conditions to guarantee the existence of solutions of the boundary value problem are obtained. Especially, when the source function is bi-stable, the existence of infinitely many monotone solusion is obtained.     

Bifurcation of periodic solutions and invariant tori for a four-dimensional system

In this paper, a four-dimensional system of autonomous ordinary differential equations depending on a small parameter is considered. Suppose that the unperturbed system is composed of two planar systems: one is a Hamiltonian system and another system has a focus. By using the Poincaré map and the integral manifold theory, sufficient conditions for the existence of periodic solutions and invariant tori of the four-dimensional system are obtained. An application of our results to a nonlinearly coupled Van der Pol–Duffing oscillator system is given.     

Nonresonant case of intersection of bifurcation curves in the Couette-Taylor problem

The nonresonant case (Res 0) of the motion of a viscous incompressible fluid between rotating coaxial cylinders in a small neighborhood of a bifurcation point of codimension 2 is considered, where the amplitude system has only essential resonant terms. Existence and stability conditions are obtained for its solutions which correspond to various periodic and quasiperiodic solutions of the Navier-Stokes equations. In a small neighborhood of some points of the resonance Res 0, the regions of existence and stability of these solutions are determined.     

Behaviors of Solutions for a Singular Prey–Predator Model and its Shadow System

We study the asymptotic behaviors and quenching of the solutions for a two-component system of reaction–diffusion equations modeling prey–predator interactions in an insular environment. First, we give a global existence result for the solutions to the corresponding shadow system. Then, by constructing some suitable Lyapunov functionals, we characterize the asymptotic behaviors of global solutions to the shadow system. Also, we give a finite time quenching result for the shadow system. Finally, some global existence results for the original reaction–diffusion system are given.     

Bifurcation analysis of a linear Hamiltonian system with two kinds of impulsive control

In this paper, the dynamical behavior of a linear Hamiltonian system under two kinds of impulsive control is discussed by means of both theoretical and numerical ways. The existence and stability of the periodic solution are investigated. Moreover, the conditions of existence for a Neimark?CSacker bifurcation are derived by using a discrete map. Numerical results for phase portraits, periodic solutions, and bifurcation diagrams are in good agreement with the theoretical analysis.

Torus doublings and chaotic amplitude modulations in a two degree-of-freedom resonantly forced mechanical system

This work studies the response of a weakly non-linear vibratory system with two degrees-of-freedom when the system is excited near resonance. The two linear modes are in 1:3 internal resonance. The asymptotic method of averaging and direct numerical integration are used to obtain the response of the system. Over a range of excitation frequencies and modal damping, the averaged equations in slow time are found to possess limit cycle solutions. These solutions undergo period doubling bifurcations to chaotic solutions. The averaging theory then implies the existence of amplitude modulated motions, the exact nature of modulations not being well defined. Numerical simulation of the original vibratory two degree-of-freedom system shows that the system does undergo amplitude modulated motions. For sufficiently large damping, only periodic modulations arise in the form of a 2-torus. For lower damping, the 2-torus can undergo doubling and ultimate destruction to result in a chaotic attractor. Poincare sections of steady state solutions are used to characterize the various types of amplitude modulated motions.

We study the inflation of a cylindrical elastic membrane under conditions where more than one equilibrium radius is possible at the same pressure. In particular, we investigate the existence of solutions connecting two sections of different radii. The existence of such solutions is found to be linked to a Maxwell equal area rule.
