Relaxation limit for hyperbolic systems in chromatography

This paper is concerned with a nonlinear system which arises in chromatography. The global existence of solutions in space for a Cauchy problem with initial data is obtained for any fixed 0$">, and the convergence of to its equilibrium state , governed by a limit system is proved for the case by using the compensated compactness coupled with the framework of Tzavaras (1999).

Interactions of delta shock waves for the Aw-Rascle traffic model with split delta functions

This paper is concerned with the interactions of $\delta$-shock waves for the Aw-Rascle traffic model with split delta functions. The solutions are obtained constructively when the initial data are three piecewise constant states. The global structure and large time-asymptotic behaviors of the solutions are analyzed case by case. Moreover, it can be found that the Riemann solutions are stable for such small perturbations with initial data by studying the limits of the solutions when the perturbed parameter $\varepsilon\rightarrow0$.

In this article the author considers the limiting behavior of quasilinear hyperbolic conservation laws with relaxation, particularly the zero relaxation limit. Our analysis includes the construction of suitably entropy flux pairs to deduce the L∞ estimate of the solutions, and the theory of compensated compactness is then applied to study the convergence of the approximate solutions to its Cauchy problem.

A relaxation scheme for conservation laws with a discontinuous coefficient

We study a relaxation scheme of the Jin and Xin type for conservation laws with a flux function that depends discontinuously on the spatial location through a coefficient . If , we show that the relaxation scheme produces a sequence of approximate solutions that converge to a weak solution. The Murat-Tartar compensated compactness method is used to establish convergence. We present numerical experiments with the relaxation scheme, and comparisons are made with a front tracking scheme based on an exact Riemann solver.     

Global entropy solutions to the compressible Euler equations in the isentropic nozzle flow for large data: Application of the generalized invariant regions and the modified Godunov scheme

We study the motion of isentropic gas in nozzles. This is a major subject in fluid dynamics. In fact, the nozzle is utilized to increase the thrust of rocket engines. Moreover, the nozzle flow is closely related to astrophysics. These phenomena are governed by the compressible Euler equations, which are one of crucial equations in inhomogeneous conservation laws.In this paper, we consider its unsteady flow and devote to proving the global existence and stability of solutions to the Cauchy problem for the general nozzle. The theorem has been proved in Tsuge (2013). However, this result is limited to small data. Our aim in the present paper is to remove this restriction, that is, we consider large data. Although the subject is important in Mathematics, Physics and engineering, it remained open for a long time. The problem seems to rely on a bounded estimate of approximate solutions, because we have only method to investigate the behavior with respect to the time variable. To solve this, we first introduce a generalized invariant region. Compared with the existing ones, its upper and lower bounds are extended constants to functions of the space variable. However, we cannot apply the new invariant region to the traditional difference method. Therefore, we invent the modified Godunov scheme. The approximate solutions consist of some functions corresponding to the upper and lower bounds of the invariant regions. These methods enable us to investigate the behavior of approximate solutions with respect to the space variable. The ideas are also applicable to other nonlinear problems involving similar difficulties.     

Relaxation of Minimax Optimal Control Problems with Infinite Horizon

A minimax optimal control problem with infinite horizon is studied. We analyze a relaxation of the controls, which allows us to consider a generalization of the original problem that not only has existence of an optimal control but also enables us to approximate the infinite-horizon problem with a sequence of finite-horizon problems. We give a set of conditions that are sufficient to solve directly, without relaxation, the infinite-horizon problem as the limit of finite-horizon problems.     

Non-periodic explicit homogenization and reduction of dimension: the linear case

The aim of this paper is to give explicit limit expressions,for diffusion equations involving a small parameter , describingboth nonperiodic homogenization and reduction of dimension.In other words, we give the limit behaviour, when tends tozero, of the diffusion equation in a thin domain, with thicknessof order , when the coefficients of the equation also dependon and may present rapid, nonperiodic oscillations, providedthey satisfy a suitable compensated compactness condition. Weconsider two kinds of reduction of dimension: the case of thinplates (3D 2D) and the case of thin cylinders (3D 1D). Inparticular, we give the limit diffusion equation for laminatedplates. This is completely explicit and requires no specialassumption, except stratification. In the case of thin cylinders,the formulae are less explicit, but we also indicate some simpleapplications.

Weak Entropy Boundary Conditions for Isentropic Gas Dynamics via Kinetic Relaxation

We consider a kinetic BGK model relaxing to isentropic gas dynamics previously introduced by the authors, but with Dirichlet boundary condition on the incoming velocities. We pass to the limit as the relaxation parameter tends to zero by compensated compactness inside the domain, and obtain that the limit satisfies entropy inequalities on the boundary involving weak traces of entropy fluxes. Our method is very general and could be applied to any entropy satisfying BGK model as soon as we have strong compactness of the macroscopic variables inside the domain.     

Waveform Relaxation Methods for Lie-Group Equations

In this paper, we derive and analyse waveform relaxation (WR) methods for solving differential equations evolving on a Lie-group. We present both continuous-time and discrete-time WR methods and study their convergence properties. In the discrete-time case, the novel methods are constructed by combining WR methods with Runge-Kutta-Munthe-Kaas (RK-MK) methods. The obtained methods have both advantages of WR methods and RK-MK methods, which simplify the computation by decoupling strategy and preserve the numerical solution of Lie-group equations on a manifold. Three numerical experiments are given to illustrate the feasibility of the new WR methods.

Existence of global solutions to isentropic gas dynamics equations with a source term

In this paper we prove existence of isentropic gas dynamic equations with a source term (1.2). To this end we construct a sequence of regular hyperbolic systems (1.1) to approximate the inhomogeneous system of isentropic gas dynamics (1.2). First,for each fixed approximation parameter δ and very general condition on P (ρ),we establish the existence of entropy solutions for the Cauchy problem (1.1) with bounded initial date (1.4). Second,letting=o(δ),we obtain a complete proof of the H-1loc compactness of weak entropy pairs of system (1.2) in the form η(ρ,u) =ρH(ρ,u) given in Chen-LeFloch (2003). Finally,for the conditions of P(ρ) given in Chen-LeFloch (2003),applied to the results in Theorems 1 and 2,we obtain the global existence of entropy solutions for the Cauchy problem (1.2) with bounded initial date (1.4).     

Combined Relaxation Method for Mixed Equilibrium Problems

We consider a general class of equilibrium problems which involve a single-valued mapping and a nonsmooth bifunction. Such mixed equilibrium problems are solved with a combined relaxation method using an auxiliary iteration of a splitting-type method for constructing a separating hyperplane. We prove the convergence of the method under the assumption that the dual of the mixed equilibrium problem is solvable. Convergence rates are also derived.S.
