对角型拟线性双曲组整体经典解的渐近行为

This paper deals with the asymptotic behavior of global classical solutions to quasilinear hyperbolic systems of diagonal form with weakly linearly degenerate characteristic fields. On the basis of global existence and uniqueness of C^1 solution, we prove that the solution to the Cauchy problem approaches a combination of C^1 traveling wave solutions when t tends to the infinity.     

Global existence of classical solutions to the Cauchy problem on a semi-bounded initial axis for a nonhomogeneous quasilinear hyperbolic system

It is proven that if the leftmost eigenvalue is weakly linearly degenerate, then the Cauchy problem for a class of nonhomogeneous quasilinear hyperbolic systems with small and decaying initial data given on a semi-bounded axis admits a unique global C¹ solution on the domain , where x=xn(t) is the fastest forward characteristic emanating from the origin. As an application of our result, we prove the existence of global classical, C¹ solutions of the flow equations of a model class of fluids with viscosity induced by fading memory with small smooth initial data given on a semi-bounded axis.     

THE CAUCHY PROBLEMS FOR DISSIPATIVE HYPERBOLIC MEAN CURVATURE FLOW

In this paper, we investigate initial value problems for hyperbolic mean curvature flow with a dissipative term. By means of support functions of a convex curve, a hyperbolic Monge-Amp`ere equation is derived, and this equation could be reduced to the first order quasilinear systems in Riemann invariants. Using the theory of the local solutions of Cauchy problems for quasilinear hyperbolic systems, we discuss lower bounds on life-span of classical solutions to Cauchy problems for dissipative hyperbolic mean curvature flow.     

Asymptotic Behavior of Global Classical Solutions of Quasilinear Non-strictly Hyperbolic Systems with Weakly Linear Degeneracy

In this paper, we study the asymptotic behavior of global classical solutions of the Cauchy problem for general quasilinear hyperbolic systems with constant multiple and weakly linearly degenerate characteristic fields. Based on the existence of global classical solution proved by Zhou Yi et al., we show that, when t tends to infinity, the solution approaches a combination of C1 travelling wave solutions, provided that the total variation and the L1 norm of initial data are sufficiently small.     

EXISTENCE OF POSITIVE SOLUTION FOR A CLASS OF QUASILINEAR ELLIPTIC EQUATION

On the global continuous solvability of the mixed problem for one-dimensional hyperbolic systems of quasilinear equations

We consider a hyperbolic system of quasilinear equations written in Riemann invariants for the case of one spatial variable. For this system, we obtain sufficient conditions for the global generalized continuous solvability of the mixed problem in the class of functions monotone with respect to x for arbitrary t and with respect to t for x = 0. In contrast to earlier studies, we assume that the boundary conditions may depend not only on time but also on the unknown functions.     

Quasilinear hyperbolic stefan problem with nonlocal boundary conditions

Using the method of contracting mappings, we prove, for small values of time, the existence and uniqueness of a generalized Lipschitz solution of a mixed problem with unknown boundaries for a hyperbolic quasilinear system of first-order equations represented in terms of Riemann invariants with nonlocal (nonseparated and integral) boundary conditions.     

Cauchy Problem for General Rst Order Inhomogeneous Quasilinear Hyperbolic Systems

In this paper, we consider Cauchy problem for general first order inho- mogeneous quasilinear strictly hyperbolic systems. Under the matching condition, we first give an estimate on inhomogeneous terms. By this estimate, we obtain the asymptotic behaviour for the life-span of C¹ solutions with “slowly” decaying and small initial data and prove that the formation of singularity is due to the envelope of characteristics of the same family.     

Asymptotic behaviour of global classical solutions of diagonalizable quasilinear hyperbolic systems

This paper is concerned with the asymptotic behaviour of global classical solutions of diagonalizable quasilinear hyperbolic systems with linearly degenerate characteristic fields. Based on the existence results of global classical solutions, we prove that when t tends to infinity, the solution approaches a combination of C¹ travelling wave solutions, provided that L¹ ∩ L^∞ norm of the initial data as well as its derivative are bounded. Application is given for the time‐like extremal surface in Minkowski space. Copyright © 2006 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

Fluid Dynamics Solutions Obtained from the Riemann Invariant Approach

The generalized method of characteristics is used to obtain rank-2 solutions of the classical equations of hydrodynamics in (\(3+1\)) dimensions describing the motion of a fluid medium in the presence of gravitational and Coriolis forces. We determine the necessary and sufficient conditions which guarantee the existence of solutions expressed in terms of Riemann invariants for an inhomogeneous quasilinear system of partial differential equations. The paper contains a detailed exposition of the theory of simple wave solutions and a presentation of the main tool used to study the Cauchy problem. A systematic use is made of the generalized method of characteristics in order to generate several classes of wave solutions written in terms of Riemann invariants.     

Global weakly discontinuous solutions for hyperbolic conservation laws in the presence of a boundary

This work is a continuation of our previous work, in the present paper we study the mixed initial-boundary value problem for general n×n quasilinear hyperbolic systems of conservation laws with non-linear boundary conditions in the half space . Under the assumption that each characteristic with positive velocity is linearly degenerate, we prove the existence and uniqueness of global weakly discontinuous solution u=u(t,x) with small amplitude, and this solution possesses a global structure similar to that of the self-similar solution of the corresponding Riemann problem. Some applications to quasilinear hyperbolic systems of conservation laws arising in physics and other disciplines, particularly to the system describing the motion of the relativistic string in Minkowski space R1+n, are also given.     

Mechanism of the formation of singularities for quasilinear hyperbolic systems with linearly degenerate characteristic fields

One often believes that there is no shock formation for the Cauchy problem of quasilinear hyperbolic systems (of conservation laws) with linearly degenerate characteristic fields. It has been a conjecture for a long time (see Arch. Rational Mech. Anal. 2004; 172 :65–91; Compressible Fluid Flow and Systems of Conservation Laws in Several Space Variables. Springer: New York, 1984) and it is still an open problem in the general situation up to now. In this paper, a framework to justify this conjecture is proposed, and, by means of the concept such as the strict block hyperbolicity, the part richness and the successively block‐closed system, some general kinds of quasilinear hyperbolic systems, which verify the conjecture, are given.

Global existence of weak discontinuous solutions to the Cauchy problem with small BV initial data for quasilinear hyperbolic systems

In this paper, we study the Cauchy problem for quasilinear hyperbolic system with a kind of non‐smooth initial data. Under the assumption that the initial data possess a suitably small bounded variation norm, a necessary and sufficient condition is obtained to guarantee the existence and uniqueness of global weak discontinuous solution.

Computational modeling of the propagation of acoustic pulses in hemodynamics

The present paper deals with the numerical simulation of the propagation of pulses of blood pressure and velocity in a blood vessel. The numerical solution of the system of linear hemodynamic equations is formed as a superposition of progressing waves (Riemann invariants) satisfying the transport equations. Considerable attention is paid to the construction of a difference scheme for the linear and quasilinear transport equations. Examples of computations are presented. The suggested algorithm can be generalized to the case of a quasilinear system of equations.     

Hasse invariants for the Clausen elliptic curves

Gauss’s hypergeometric function gives periods of elliptic curves in Legendre normal form. Certain truncations of this hypergeometric function give the Hasse invariants for these curves. Here we study another form, which we call the Clausen form, and we prove that certain truncations of and in $\mathbb {F}_{p}[x]$ are related to the characteristic p Hasse invariants.

A Hilbert-Nagata theorem in noncommutative invariant theory

Nagata gave a fundamental sufficient condition on group actions on finitely generated commutative algebras for finite generation of the subalgebra of invariants. In this paper we consider groups acting on noncommutative algebras over a field of characteristic zero. We characterize all the T-ideals of the free associative algebra such that the algebra of invariants in the corresponding relatively free algebra is finitely generated for any group action from the class of Nagata. In particular, in the case of unitary algebras this condition is equivalent to the nilpotency of the algebra in Lie sense. As a consequence we extend the Hilbert-Nagata theorem on finite generation of the algebra of invariants to any finitely generated associative algebra which is Lie nilpotent. We also prove that the Hilbert series of the algebra of invariants of a group acting on a relatively free algebra with a non-matrix polynomial identity is rational, if the action satisfies the condition of Nagata.
