Loeb solutions of the boltzmann equation

Existence problems for the Boltzmann equation constitute a main area of research within the kinetic theory of gases and transport theory. The present paper considers the spatially periodic case with L¹ initial data. The main result is that the Loeb subsolutions obtained in a preceding paper are shown to be true solutions. The proof relies on the observation that monotone entropy and finite energy imply Loeb integrability of non-standard approximate solutions, and uses estimates from the proof of the H-theorem. Two aspects of the continuity of the solutions are also considered.     

The Hopf bifurcation with symmetry for the Navier-Stokes equations in (Lp(Ω)) n,with application to plane poiseuille flow

The existence of periodic solutions of the Navier-Stokes equations in function spaces based upon (L _p())ⁿis proved. The paper has three parts, (a) A proof of the existence of strong solutions of the evolution equation with initial data in a solenoidal subspace of (L _p())ⁿ. (b) The evolution equation is restricted to a space of time periodic functions and a Fredholm integral equation on this space is formed. The Lyapunov-Schmidt method is applied to prove the existence of bifurcating time periodic solutions in the presence of symmetry. (c) The theory is applied to the bifurcation of periodic solutions from planar Poiseuille flow in the presence of symmetry (SO(2) x O(2) x S ¹) yielding new results for this classic problem. The O(2) invariance is in the spanwise direction. With the periodicity in time and in the streamwise direction we find that generically there is a bifurcation to both oblique travelling waves and to travelling waves that are stationary in the spanwise direction. There are however points of degeneracy on the neutral surface. A numerical method is used to identify these points and an analysis in the neighborhood of the degenerate points yields more complex periodic solutions as well as branches of quasi-periodic solutions.     

Nonlinear interactions and chaotic dynamics of suspended cables with three-to-one internal resonances

Nonlinear planar oscillations of suspended cables subjected to external excitations with three-to-one internal resonances are investigated. At first, the Galerkin method is used to discretize the governing nonlinear integral–partial-differential equation. Then, the method of multiple scales is applied to obtain the modulation equations in the case of primary resonance. The equilibrium solutions, the periodic solutions and chaotic solutions of the modulation equations are also investigated. The Newton–Raphson method and the pseudo-arclength path-following algorithm are used to obtain the frequency/force–response curves. The supercritical Hopf bifurcations are found in these curves. Choosing these bifurcations as the initial points and applying the shooting method and the pseudo-arclength path-following algorithm, the periodic solution branches are obtained. At the same time, the Floquet theory is used to determine the stability of the periodic solutions. Numerical simulations are used to illustrate the cascades of period-doubling bifurcations leading to chaos. At last, the nonlinear responses of the two-degree-of-freedom model are investigated.     

A stability analysis of periodic solutions to the steady forced Korteweg–de Vries–Burgers equation

The stability of periodic solutions to the steady forced Korteweg–de Vries–Burgers (fKdVB) equation is investigated here. This family of periodic solutions was identified by Hattam and Clarke (2015) using a multi-scale perturbation technique. Here, Floquet theory is applied to the governing equation. Consequently, two criteria are found that determine when the periodic solutions are stable. This analysis is then confirmed by a numerical study of the steady fKdVB equation.

Non-linear oscillations of a third-order differential equation

An investigation is conducted into the behavior of the solutions of a third-order non-linear differential equation which is characterized by a non-linearity depending solely upon the Euclidean norm of the associated phase space. The non-linearity represents a central restoring force, which has important applications in modern control theory. For small non-linearities, the existence of a limit cycle is established by a fixed point technique, the approach to the limit cycle is approximated by averaging methods, and the periodic solution is harmonically represented by perturbation. Computer solutions of the differential equation are provided in order to reinforce the analysis. Some related differential equations are discussed including one in which the periodic solution is explicitly prescribed.     

Bifurcations and exact solutions of an asymptotic rotation-Camassa–Holm equation

This paper investigates the rotation-Camassa–Holm equation, which appears in long-crested shallow-water waves propagating in the equatorial ocean regions with the Coriolis effect due to the earth’s rotation. The rotation-Camassa–Holm equation contains the famous Camassa–Holm equation and is a special case of the generalized Camassa–Holm equation. By using the approach of dynamical systems and singular traveling wave theory to its traveling wave system, in different parameter conditions of the five-parameter space, the bifurcations of phase portraits are studied. Some exact explicit parametric representations of the smooth solitary wave solutions, periodic wave solutions, peakons and anti-peakons, periodic peakons as well as compacton solutions are obtained.

     

Existence of multidimensional traveling waves in the transport of reactive solutes through periodic porous media

We prove the existence of multidimensional traveling-wave solutions to the scalar equation for the transport of solutes (contaminants) with nonlinear adsorption and spatially periodic convection-diffusion-adsorption coefficients under the assumption that the nonlinear adsorption function satisfies the Lax and Oleinik entropy conditions. In the nondegenerate case, we also prove the uniqueness of the traveling waves. These traveling waves are analogues of viscous shock profiles. They propagate with effective speeds that depend on the periodic porous media only up to their mean states, and are given by an averaged Rankine-Hugoniot relation. This is a direct consequence of the fact that the transport equation is in conservation form. We use the sliding domain method, the continuation method, spectral theory, maximum principles, and a priori estimates. In the degenerate case, the traveling waves are weak solutions of a degenerate parabolic equation and are only Holder continuous. We obtain them by taking suitable limits on the non-degenerate traveling waves. The uniqueness of the degenerate traveling waves is open.

Higher Regularity of H?lder Continuous Solutions of Parabolic Equations with Singular Drift Velocities

Motivated by an equation arising in magnetohydrodynamics, we prove that H?lder continuous weak solutions of a nonlinear parabolic equation with singular drift velocity are classical solutions. The result is proved using the space?Ctime Besov spaces introduced by Chemin and Lerner (J Differ Equ 121(2):314?C328, 1995), combined with energy estimates, without any minimality assumption on the H?lder exponent of the weak solutions.     

Constitutive modeling of complex interfaces based on a differential interfacial energy function

An important theory on the dynamics of complex interfaces is the Doi and Ohta theory where the interfacial contribution to the Cauchy stress tensor is determined from an interfacial conformation tensor. For a uniform deformation field in the Eulerian framework, Doi and Ohta adopted a decoupling approximation to reduce a fourth-order tensor into two second-order tensors and derived a differential equation governing the evolution of the interfacial conformation tensor. In this paper, a different formulation is presented for establishing the Cauchy stress tensor based on a path-independent interfacial energy function. By differentiating this interfacial energy function against a Lagrangian strain tensor, a nearly closed-form solution for the stress tensor was determined, involving only elementary algebraic and matrix operations. From this process, the stress-conformation relation proposed by Doi and Ohta is also confirmed from a thermodynamic perspective. The testing cases with uniaxial elongation and simple shear further showed improved fitting to the analytical or exact solutions.     

Orbital Stability of Periodic Peakons to a Generalized μ-Camassa–Holm Equation

In this paper, we study the orbital stability of the periodic peaked solitons of the generalized μ-Camassa–Holm equation with nonlocal cubic and quadratic nonlinearities. The equation is a μ-version of a linear combination of the Camassa–Holm equation and the modified Camassa–Holm equation. It is also integrable with the Lax-pair and bi-Hamiltonian structure and admits the single peakons and multi-peakons. By constructing an inequality related to the maximum and minimum of solutions with the conservation laws, we prove that, even in the case that the Camassa–Holm energy counteracts in part the modified Camassa–Holm energy, the shapes of periodic peakons are still orbitally stable under small perturbations in the energy space.     

Characterizing JONSWAP rogue waves and their statistics via inverse spectral data

Rogue waves in random sea states modeled by the JONSWAP power spectrum are high amplitude waves arising over non-uniform backgrounds that cannot be viewed as small amplitude modulations of Stokes waves. In the context of Nonlinear Schrödinger (NLS) models for waves in deep water, this poses the challenge of identifying appropriate analytical solutions for JONSWAP rogue waves, investigating possible mechanisms for their formation, and examining the validity of the NLS models in these more realistic settings. In this work we investigate JONSWAP rogue waves using the inverse spectral theory of the periodic NLS equation for moderate values of the period. For typical JONSWAP initial data, numerical experiments show that the developing sea state is well approximated by the first few dominant modes of the nonlinear spectrum and can be described in terms of a 2- or 3-phase periodic NLS solution. As for the case of uniform backgrounds, proximity to instabilities of the underlying 2-phase solution appears to be the main predictor of rogue wave occurrence, suggesting that the modulational instability of 2-phase solutions of the NLS is a main mechanism for rogue wave formation and that heteroclinic orbits of unstable 2-phase solutions are plausible models of JONSWAP rogue waves. To support this claim, we correlate the maximum wave strength as well as the higher statistical moments with elements of the nonlinear spectrum. The result is a diagnostic tool widely applicable to both model or field data for predicting the likelihood of rogue waves. Finally, we examine the validity of NLS models for JONSWAP data, and show that NLS solutions with JONSWAP initial data are described by non-Gaussian statistics, in agreement with the TOPEX field studies of sea surface height variability.     

Ratio-dependent predator–prey model of interacting population with delay effect

A system of delay differential equation is proposed to account the effect of delay in the predator?Cprey model of interacting population. In this article, the modified ratio-dependent Bazykin model with delay in predator equation has been considered. The essential mathematical features of the proposed model are analyzed with the help of equilibria, local and global stability analysis, and bifurcation theory. The parametric space under which the system enters into a Hopf-bifurcation has been investigated. Global stability results are obtained by constructing suitable Lyapunov functions. We derive the explicit formulae for determining the stability, direction, and other properties of bifurcating periodic solutions by using normal form and central manifold theory. Using the global Hopf-bifurcation result of Wu (Trans. Am. Math. Soc., 350:4799?C4838, 1998) for functional differential equations, the global existence of periodic solutions has been established. Our analytical findings are supported by numerical experiments. Biological implication of the analytical findings are discussed in the conclusion section.     

An analytic solution to the electric analog simulation of the regenerative heat exchanger with time-varying fluid inlet temperatures

Direct simulation on an electric analog of heat transfer problems, has been extensively used, for obtaining approximate solutions. The electric simulation is based on discrete space continuous time differential equations, using electric capacitances and resistances with special devices for simulating convective terms and boundary conditions. (See ref. [16] in the text). In this paper, an analytic solution of the discretized space continuous time differential equations, describing the performance of the periodic-flow regenerative heat exchanger, is presented. With this method the cyclic periodic operation and the starting-up periods of the regenerator, having arbitrary fluid inlet and initial matrix temperatures, can be determined. Several cases with constant inlet fluid temperatures are given and the results are in a good agreement with those previously reported in the literature; the computations for the case of a starting-up period having linearly varying fluid inlet temperature are also presented, which compares well with the results given in a previous paper. Using the present method Hausen's simplified theory is tested and it is found to be justifiable.     

A Finite Strain Analysis of Cavity Formation at a Rigid Inhomogeneity

The formation of a cavity by inclusion-matrix interfacial separation is examined by analyzing the response of a plane rigid inclusion embedded in an unbounded incompressible matrix subject to remote equibiaxial dead load traction. A vanishingly thin interfacial cohesive zone, characterized by normal and tangential interface force-separation constitutive relations, is assumed to govern separation behavior. Rotationally symmetric cavity shapes (circles) are shown to be solutions of an interfacial integral equation depending on the strain energy density of the matrix, the interface force constitutive relation and the remote loading. Nonsymmetrical cavity formation, under rotationally symmetric conditions of geometry and loading, is treated within the theory of infinitesimal strain superimposed on a given finite strain state. Rotationally symmetric and nonsymmetric bifurcations are analyzed and detailed results, for the Mooney–Rivlin strain energy density and for an exponential interface force-separation law, are presented. For the nonsymmetric rigid body displacement mode, a simple formula for the critical load is presented. The effect on bifurcation behavior of interfacial shear stiffness and other interface parameters is treated as well. In particular we demonstrate that (i) for the smooth interface nonsymmetric bifurcation always precedes rotationally symmetric bifurcation, (ii) unlike rotationally symmetric bifurcation, there is no threshold value of interface parameter for which nonsymmetric bifurcation will not occur and (iii) interfacial shear may significantly delay the onset of nonsymmetric bifurcation. Also discussed is the range of validity of a nonlinear infinitesimal strain theory previously presented by the author (Levy [1]). This revised version was published online in July 2006 with corrections to the Cover Date.     

Stability of nonlinear periodic vibrations of 3D beams

The geometrically nonlinear periodic vibrations of beams with rectangular cross section under harmonic forces are investigated using a p-version finite element method. The beams vibrate in space; hence they experience longitudinal, torsional, and nonplanar bending deformations. The model is based on Timoshenko’s theory for bending and assumes that, under torsion, the cross section rotates as a rigid body and is free to warp in the longitudinal direction, as in Saint-Venant’s theory. The theory employed is valid for moderate rotations and displacements, and physical phenomena like internal resonances and change of the stability of the solutions can be investigated. Green’s nonlinear strain tensor and Hooke’s law are considered and isotropic and elastic beams are investigated. The equation of motion is derived by the principle of virtual work. The differential equations of motion are converted into a nonlinear algebraic form employing the harmonic balance method, and then solved by the arc-length continuation method. The variation of the amplitude of vibration in space with the excitation frequency of vibration is determined and presented in the form of response curves. The stability of the solution is investigated by Floquet’s theory.     

Convergence of periodic wavetrains in the limit of large wavelength

The Korteweg-de Vries equation was originally derived as a model for unidirectional propagation of water waves. This equation possesses a special class of traveling-wave solutions corresponding to surface solitary waves. It also has permanent-wave solutions which are periodic in space, the so-called cnoidal waves. A classical observation of Korteweg and de Vries was that the solitary wave is obtained as a certain limit of cnoidal wavetrains.This result is extended here, in the context of the Korteweg-de Vries equation. It is demonstrated that a general class of solutions of the Korteweg-de Vries equation is obtained as limiting forms of periodic solutions, as the period becomes large.
