Asymptotic Solution for a Kind of Boundary Layer Problem

This paper studies the partial differential equation with a small coefficient in the highest-order item. This kind of equation is also named as boundary layer problem. The Burgers equation and modified Burgers equation are analyzed in this approach. First, these equations are transferred into the strong nonlinear ones, and then the corresponding strong nonlinear equations are solved based on the perturbation method. The results from the asymptotic method are comparable with those obtained from numerical computation. An erratum to this article is available at .     

Stability of Degenerate Stationary Waves for Viscous Gases

This paper is concerned with the asymptotic stability of degenerate stationary waves for viscous gases in the half space. We discuss the following two cases: (1) viscous conservation laws and (2) damped wave equations with nonlinear convection. In each case, we prove that the solution converges to the corresponding degenerate stationary wave at the rate t ^−α/4 as t → ∞, provided that the initial perturbation is in the weighted space L²_a=L²(\mathbb R₊; (1+x)^a dx){L^2_\alpha=L^2({\mathbb R}_+;\,(1+x)^\alpha dx)} . This convergence rate t ^−α/4 is weaker than the one for the non-degenerate case and requires the restriction α < α_*(q), where α_*(q) is the critical value depending only on the degeneracy exponent q. Such a restriction is reasonable because the corresponding linearized operator for viscous conservation laws cannot be dissipative in L²_a{L^2_\alpha} for α > α^*(q) with another critical value α^*(q). Our stability analysis is based on the space–time weighted energy method in which the spatial weight is chosen as a function of the degenerate stationary wave.     

Asymptotic Behavior of Solutions to a Model for the Flow of a Reacting Fluid

We give a complete analysis of solutions of a model for the flow of a multispecies reacting fluid occupying a thin cylinder whose walls may be semipermeable with respect to some or all of the chemical species. We prove the global existence of solutions and establish a number of time-independent a priori bounds sufficient to determine the corresponding time-asymptotic steady-state. We then derive necessary conditions and sufficient conditions ensuring that this steady-state reflects complete combustion, that is, that at least one of the reactant species is depleted.

Hydrodynamic Solution to the Problem of Water Permeability of a Screen with Damaged Continuity

The problem of water permeability of a thin impervious screen made of a polymeric geomembrane with flaws (damages) is considered. The screen consists of a covering layer and a ground base underlaid by a drainage bed. The solution is implemented using methods of theory of flow through a porous medium by means of the conformal mapping and velocity hodograph methods. The characteristic feature of this solution is the study of free pressurized–pressureless flow in a porousmediumthrough a continuous slit in the plane formulation. The basic computational dependences are presented and the calculations of the water permeability are carried out by means of the formulas obtained in comparison with the well-known dependences for a particular case.     

Existence,Uniqueness, and Asymptotic Stability for a Thermoelastic Plate

In this note, we are concerned with the linear theory of a thermoelastic plate when a rate-type equation is assumed for the heat flux. We consider an initial boundary-value problem for this plate and show the existence, uniqueness, and asymptotic stability of a solution. Thermodynamic restrictions on the assumed constitutive equations are also derived. Finally, we give an expression for the pseudo-free energy.     

Global Asymptotic Stability for Oscillators with Superlinear Damping

A necessary and sufficient condition is established for the equilibrium of the damped superlinear oscillator $$x^{\prime\prime} + a(t)\phi_q(x^{\prime}) + \omega^2x = 0$$ to be globally asymptotically stable. The obtained criterion is judged by whether the integral of a particular solution of the first-order nonlinear differential equation $$u^{\prime} + \omega^{q-2}a(t)\phi_q(u) + 1 = 0$$ is divergent or convergent. Since this nonlinear differential equation cannot be solved in general, it can be said that the presented result is expressed by an implicit condition. Explicit sufficient conditions and explicit necessary conditions are also given for the equilibrium of the damped superlinear oscillator to be globally attractive. Moreover, it is proved that a certain growth condition of a(t) guarantees the global asymptotic stability for the equilibrium of the damped superlinear oscillator.

Computational Aspects of Pseudospectra in Hydrodynamic Stability Analysis

This paper addresses the analysis of spectrum and pseudospectrum of the linearized Navier–Stokes operator from the numerical point of view. The pseudospectrum plays a crucial role in linear hydrodynamic stability theory and is closely related to the non-normality of the underlying differential operator and the matrices resulting from its discretization. This concept offers an explanation for experimentally observed instability in situations when eigenvalue-based linear stability analysis would predict stability. Hence the reliable numerical computation of the pseudospectrum is of practical importance particularly in situations when the stationary “base flow” is not analytically but only computationally given. The proposed algorithm is based on a finite element discretization of the continuous eigenvalue problem and uses an Arnoldi-type method involving a multigrid component. Its performance is investigated theoretically as well as practically at several two-dimensional test examples such as the linearized Burgers equations and various problems governed by the Navier–Stokes equations for incompressible flow.     

Asymptotic Stability of Transiently Chaotic Neural Networks

The asymptotic stability of transiently chaotic neural networks is considered in this paper. By utilizing a Lyapunov function and then applying LaSalle's invariance principle, we present several sufficient conditions that guarantee the stability. These results are less conservative than those established in the earlier references. Two numerical examples are given to illustrate the applicability of these conditions.     

Asymptotic Linear Stability of Solitary Water Waves

In this paper, we study the well-posedness of Cahn–Hilliard equations with degenerate phase-dependent diffusion mobility. We consider a popular form of the equations which has been used in phase field simulations of phase separation and microstructure evolution in binary systems. We define a notion of weak solutions for the nonlinear equation. The existence of such solutions is obtained by considering the limits of Cahn–Hilliard equations with non-degenerate mobilities.
