Alternating Direction Finite Volume Element Methods for Three-Dimensional Parabolic Equations

<正>This paper presents alternating direction finite volume element methods for three-dimensional parabolic partial differential equations and gives four computational schemes,one is analogous to Douglas finite difference scheme with second-order splitting error,the other two schemes have third-order splitting error,and the last one is an extended LOD scheme.The L~2 norm and H~1 semi-norm error estimates are obtained for the first scheme and second one,respectively.Finally,two numerical examples are provided to illustrate the efficiency and accuracy of the methods.     

A Finite Difference Scheme for Blow-Up Solutions of Nonlinear Wave Equations

<正>We consider a finite difference scheme for a nonlinear wave equation,whose solutions may lose their smoothness in finite time,i.e.,blow up in finite time.In order to numerically reproduce blow-up solutions,we propose a rule for a time-stepping, which is a variant of what was successfully used in the case of nonlinear parabolic equations.A numerical blow-up time is defined and is proved to converge,under a certain hypothesis,to the real blow-up time as the grid size tends to zero.     

KAM Theory for Partial Differential Equations

A FRACTIONAL NONLINEAR EVOLUTIONARY DELAY SYSTEM DRIVEN BY A HEMI-VARIATIONAL INEQUALITY IN BANACH SPACES

This article deals with a new fractional nonlinear delay evolution system driven by a hemi-variational inequality in a Banach space.Utilizing the KKM theorem,a result concerned with the upper semicontinuity and measurability of the solution set of a hemivariational inequality is established.By using a fixed point theorem for a condensing setvalued map,the nonemptiness and compactness of the set of mild solutions are also obtained for such a system under mild conditions.Finally,an example is presented to illustrate our main results.     

Nonconforming Finite Element Methods for the Constrained Optimal Control Problems Governed by Nonsmooth Elliptic Equations

In this paper,nonconforming finite element methods(FEMs)are proposed for the constrained optimal control problems(OCPs)governed by the nonsmooth elliptic equations,in which the popular EQr1 ot element is employed to approximate the state and adjoint state,and the piecewise constant element is used to approximate the control.Firstly,the convergence and superconvergence properties for the nonsmooth elliptic equation are obtained by introducing an auxiliary problem.Secondly,the goal-oriented error estimates are obtained for the objective function through establishing the negative norm error estimate.Lastly,the methods are extended to some other well-known nonconforming elements.     

A Direct Method of Moving Planes to Fractional Power SubLaplace Equations on the Heisenberg Group

We give the direct method of moving planes for solutions to the conformally invariant fractional power sub Laplace equation on the Heisenberg group.The method is based on four maximum principles derived here.Then symmetry and nonexistence of positive cylindrical solutions are proved.     

LIMIT CYCLES FOR A CLASS OF NONPOLYNOMIAL PLANAR VECTOR FIELDS(II)

In this paper, the problem of limit cycles for a class of nonpolynomial planar vector felds is investigated. First, based on Liapunov method theory, we obtain some sufcient conditions for determining the origin as the critical point of such nonpolynomial planar vector felds to be the focus or center. Then, using Dulac criterion, we establish some sufcient conditions for the nonexistence of limit cycles of this nonpolynomial planar vector felds. And then, according to Hopf bifurcation theory, we analyze some sufcient conditions for bifurcating limit cycles from the origin. Finally, by transforming the nonpolynomial planar vector felds into the generalized Li′enard planar vector felds, we discuss the existence, uniqueness and stability of limit cycles for the former and latter planar vector felds. Some examples are also given to illustrate the efectiveness of our theoretical results.     

Reflected SPDEs Driven by Fractional Noises

In this paper,we study the stochastic partial differential equation with two reflecting smooth walls h^1 and h^2,driven by a fractional noise,which is fractional in time and white in space.The large deviation principle for the law of the solution to this equation,will be established through developing a classical method.Furthermore,we obtain the H?lder continuity of the solution.     

A REPRESENTATION FORMULA RELATED TO SCHR(O)DINGER OPERATORS

Schr(o)dinger operator is a central subject in the mathematical study of quantum mechanics.Consider the Schrodinger operator H = -△ V on R, where △ = d2/dx2 and the potential function V is real valued. In Fourier analysis, it is well-known that a square integrable function admits an expansion with exponentials as eigenfunctions of -△. A natural conjecture is that an L2 function admits a similar expansion in terms of "eigenfunctions" of H, a perturbation of the Laplacian (see [7], Ch. Ⅺ and the notes), under certain condition on V.

Staircase transportation problems with superadditive rewards and cumulative capacities

A cumulative-capacitated transportation problem is studied. The supply nodes and demand nodes are each chains. Shipments from a supply node to a demand node are possible only if the pair lies in a sublattice, or equivalently, in a staircase disjoint union of rectangles, of the product of the two chains. There are (lattice) superadditive upper bounds on the cumulative flows in all leading subrectangles of each rectangle. It is shown that there is a greatest cumulative flow formed by the natural generalization of the South-West Corner Rule that respects cumulative-flow capacities; it has maximum reward when the rewards are (lattice) superadditive; it is integer if the supplies, demands and capacities are integer; and it can be calculated myopically in linear time. The result is specialized to earlier work of Hoeffding (1940), Fréchet (1951), Lorentz (1953), Hoffman (1963) and Barnes and Hoffman (1985). Applications are given to extreme constrained bivariate distributions, optimal distribution with limited one-way product substitution and, generalizing results of Derman and Klein (1958), optimal sales with age-dependent rewards and capacities.To our friend, Philip Wolfe, with admiration and affection, on the occasion of his 65th birthday.Research was supported respectively by the IBM T.J.

Best approximation by downward sets with applications

We develop a theory of downward sets for a class of normed ordered spaces. We study best approximation in a normed ordered space X by elements of downward sets, and give necessary and sufficient conditions for any element of best approximation by a closed downward subset of X. We also characterize strictly downward subsets of X, and prove that a downward subset of X is strictly downward if and only if each its boundary point is Chebyshev. The results obtained are used for examination of some Chebyshev pairs （W,x）, where ∈ X and W is a closed downward subset of X     

Boundedness of multilinear operators on weighted herz type spaces

In this paper, the author establishes the boundedness of multilinear operators on weighted Herz spaces and Herz-type Hardy spaces. The author also obtains their weak estimates on endpoints. As a special case, the conclusions may lead to the weighted estimates for multilinear Calderon-Zygmund operators.
