Relations between symmetries and conservation laws for difference systems

This paper presents a relation between divergence variational symmetries for difference variational problems on lattices and conservation laws for the associated Euler–Lagrange system provided by Noether's theorem. This inspires us to define conservation laws related to symmetries for arbitrary difference equations with or without Lagrangian formulations. These conservation laws are constrained by partial differential equations obtained from the symmetries generators. It is shown that the orders of these partial differential equations have been reduced relative to those used in a general approach. Illustrative examples are presented.     

Transonic shocks in 3-D compressible flow passing a duct with a general section for Euler systems

This paper is devoted to the study of a transonic shock in three-dimensional steady compressible flow passing a duct with a general section. The flow is described by the steady full Euler system, which is purely hyperbolic in the supersonic region and is of elliptic-hyperbolic type in the subsonic region. The upstream flow at the entrance of the duct is a uniform supersonic one adding a three-dimensional perturbation, while the pressure of the downstream flow at the exit of the duct is assigned apart from a constant difference. The problem to determine the transonic shock and the flow behind the shock is reduced to a free boundary value problem of an elliptic-hyperbolic system. The new ingredients of our paper contain the decomposition of the elliptic-hyperbolic system, the determination of the shock front by a pair of partial differential equations coupled with the three-dimensional Euler system, and the regularity analysis of solutions to the boundary value problems introduced in our discussion.

     

Symmetry analysis, conservation laws of a time fractional fifth-order Sawada-Kotera equation

In this paper, we intend to study the symmetry properties and conservation laws of a time fractional fifth-order Sawada-Kotera (S-K) equation with Riemann-Liouville derivative. Applying the well-known Lie symmetry method, we analysis the symmetry properties of the equation. Based on this, we find that the S-K equation can be reduced to a fractional ordinary differential equation with Erdelyi-Kober derivative by the similarity variable and transformation. Furthermore, we construct some conservation laws for the S-K equation using the idea in the Ibragimov theorem on conservation laws and the fractional generalization of the Noether operators.     

The lattice of closure operators on a subgroup lattice

We say a lattice L is a subgroup lattice if there exists a group G such that Sub(G)?L, where Sub(G) is the lattice of subgroups of G, ordered by inclusion. We prove that the lattice of closure operators which act on the subgroup lattice of a finite group G is itself a subgroup lattice if and only if G is cyclic of prime power order.     

The statistics of particle trajectories in the homogeneous Sinai problem for a two-dimensional lattice

In this paper, we generalize and refine some results by F. P. Boca, R. N. Gologan, and A. Zaharescu on the asymptotic behavior as h → 0 of the statistics of the free path length until the first hit of the h-neighborhood (a disk of radius h) of a nonzero integer for a particle issuing from the origin. The established facts imply that the limit distribution function for the free path length and for the sighting parameter (the distance from the trajectory to the integer point in question) does not depend on the particle escape direction (the property of isotropy).     

An Integrability Condition for Monge-Ampere Equations on a Kahler Manifold

The symmetry group of the Monge-Ampère equation on a Kähler manifold is determined and an integrability condition on the solution is derived as a conservation law.     

Attractors for stochastic lattice dynamical systems with a multiplicative noise

In this paper, we consider a stochastic lattice differential equation with diffusive nearest neighbor interaction, a dissipative nonlinear reaction term, and multiplicative white noise at each node. We prove the existence of a compact global random attractor which, pulled back, attracts tempered random bounded sets.      

New exact solutions of a generalised Boussinesq equation with damping term and a system of variant Boussinesq equations via double reduction theory

The conservation laws of a generalised Boussinesq (GB) equation with damping term are derived via the partial Noether approach. The derived conserved vectors are adjusted to satisfy the divergence condition. We use the definition of the association of symmetries of partial differential equations with conservation laws and the relationship between symmetries and conservation laws to find a double reduction of the equation. As a result, several new exact solutions are obtained. A similar analysis is performed for a system of variant Boussinesq (VB) equations.     

New conservation laws of some third-order systems of pdes arising from higher-order multipliers

In this paper, we study conservation laws for some third-order systems of pdes, viz., some versions of the Boussinesq equations and the BBM equation. It is shown that new and interesting conserved quantities arise from ‘multipliers’ that are of order greater than one in derivatives of the dependent variables. Furthermore, the invariance properties of the conserved flows with respect to the Lie point symmetry generators are investigated via the symmetry action on the multipliers.

Relaxation WENO schemes for multidimensional hyperbolic systems of conservation laws

We present a class of high‐order weighted essentially nonoscillatory (WENO) reconstructions based on relaxation approximation of hyperbolic systems of conservation laws. The main advantage of combining the WENO schemes with relaxation approximation is the fact that the presented schemes avoid solution of the Riemann problems due to the relaxation approach and high‐resolution is obtained by applying the WENO approach. The emphasis is on a fifth‐order scheme and its performance for solving a wide class of systems of conservation laws. To show the effectiveness of these methods, we present numerical results for different test problems on multidimensional hyperbolic systems of conservation laws. © 2007 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

The global Markov property for lattice systems

We prove the global Markov property for lattice systems of classical statistical mechanics, with bounded spins and finite range interactions. The method uses the one developed by two of us to prove the global Markov property of Euclidean generalized random fields. The result shows that the systems considered have a transition matrix, which together with a distribution on a hyperplane, describes completely the system.     

On the linearization of systems of conservation laws for fluids at a material contact discontinuity

In order to investigate the linearized stability or instability of compressible flows, as it occurs for instance in Rayleigh–Taylor or Kelvin–Helmholtz instabilities, we consider the linearization at a material discontinuity of a flow modeled by a multidimensional nonlinear hyperbolic system of conservation laws. Restricting ourselves to the plane-symmetric case, the basic solution is thus a one-dimensional contact discontinuity and the normal modes of pertubations are solutions of the resulting linearized hyperbolic system with discontinuous nonconstant coefficients and source terms. While in Eulerian coordinates, the linearized Cauchy problem has no solution in the class of functions, we prove that for a large class of systems of conservation laws written in Lagrangian coordinates and including the Euler and the ideal M.H.D. systems, there exists a unique function solution of the problem that we construct by the method of characteristics.     

Numerical algorithms for simulations of a traffic model on road networks

We introduce a simulation algorithm based on a fluid-dynamic model for traffic flows on road networks, which are considered as graphs composed by arcs that meet at some junctions. The approximation of scalar conservation laws along arcs is made by three velocities Kinetic schemes with suitable boundary conditions at junctions. Here we describe the algorithm and we give an example.     

Partition of Waves in a System of Conservation Laws

The aim of this paper is to give a simple proof of the classical Liu estimate on the decay of positive waves in a solution of a n×n system of conservation laws. In the first part, we transcribe the wave partition technique introduced in Comm. Math. Phys. 57 (1977), 135–148 (by means of the Glimm scheme) to the case of approximate solutions constructed by the wave front tracking scheme. Then, we use a decoupling argument on the characteristic speeds to establish the desired estimate.

Stratified solutions for systems of conservation laws

We study a class of weak solutions to hyperbolic systems of conservation (balance) laws in one space dimension, called stratified solutions. These solutions are bounded and ``regular' in the direction of a linearly degenerate characteristic field of the system, but not in other directions. In particular, they are not required to have finite total variation. We prove some results of local existence and uniqueness.
