Spectrally accurate energy‐preserving methods for the numerical solution of the “good” Boussinesq equation

In this paper we study the geometric numerical solution of the so called “good” Boussinesq equation. This goal is achieved by using a convenient space semi‐discretization, able to preserve the corresponding Hamiltonian structure, then using energy‐conserving Runge–Kutta methods in the Hamiltonian boundary value method class for the time integration. Numerical tests are reported, confirming the effectiveness of the proposed method.     

Convergence of approximate deconvolution models to the mean Navier–Stokes equations

We consider a 3D Approximate Deconvolution Model ADM which belongs to the class of Large Eddy Simulation (LES) models. We aim at proving that the solution of the ADM converges towards a dissipative solution of the mean Navier–Stokes equations. The study holds for periodic boundary conditions. The convolution filter we first consider is the Helmholtz filter. We next consider generalized convolution filters for which the convergence property still holds.     

On weak*-extensible Banach spaces

We study the stability properties of the class of weak*-extensible spaces introduced by Wang, Zhao, and Qiang showing, among other things, that weak*-extensibility is equivalent to having a weak*-sequentially continuous dual ball (in short, w*SC) for duals of separable spaces or twisted sums of w*SC spaces. This shows that weak*-extensibility is not a 3$3$-space property, solving a question posed by Wang, Zhao, and Qiang. We also introduce a restricted form of weak*-extensibility, called separable weak*-extensibility, and show that separably weak*-extensible Banach spaces have the Gelfand–Phillips property, although they are not necessarily w*SC spaces.     

On the regularity of the solutions to the 3D Navier–Stokes equations: a remark on the role of the helicity

We show that if velocity and vorticity are orthogonal at each point (and they become orthogonal fast enough) then solutions of the 3D Navier–Stokes equations are smooth. This condition implies that the helicity is identically zero and, in a certain sense, the flow resembles the 2D geometric situation. To cite this article: L.C. Berselli, D. Córdoba, C. R. Acad. Sci.

I λ-Groups and almost totally injective groups

Summary We introduce the class ofI _λ-groups, where λ is an ordinal, consisting of these abelianp-groupsG such thatG/p ^σ G is almost totally injective for every ordinal σ<λ. As an application of some results onI _λ-groups, we prove an extension property of almost totally injective groups.

Riassunto Si introduce la classe degliI _λ-gruppi, dove λ è un ordinale, formata daip-gruppi abelianiG tali cheG/p ^σ G è quasi totalmente iniettivo per ogni ordinale σ<λ. Come applicazione di alcuni risultati sugliI _λ-gruppi, si prova una proprietà di estensione dei gruppi quasi totalmente iniettivi.

BMO‐Type Norms Related to the Perimeter of Sets

In this paper we consider an isotropic variant of the BMO‐type norm recently introduced (Bourgain, Brezis, and Mironescu, 2015). We prove that, when considering characteristic functions of sets, this norm is related to the perimeter. A byproduct of our analysis is a new characterization of the perimeter of sets in terms of this norm, independent of the theory of distributions.© 2016 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.     

On the strong convergence of a general-type Krasnosel’skii–Mann’s algorithm depending on the coefficients

Let H be a Hilbert space, \({(W_n)_{n \in \mathbb{N}}}\) a suitable family of mappings, S a nonexpansive mapping and D a strongly monotone operator. We are interested in the strong convergence of the general scheme

$$x_{n + 1} = \gamma x_{n} + (1 - \gamma)W_{n} (\alpha_{n}S_{x_{n}} + (1 - \alpha_{n})(I - \mu_{n}D)x_{n}),\quad \gamma \in [0, 1),$$

in dependence of the coefficients \({(\alpha_{n})_{n \in \mathbb{N}}}\) and \({(\mu_{n})_{n \in \mathbb{N}}}\) .

     

On some auxiliary mappings generated by nonexpansive and strictly pseudo-contractive mappings

Starting by a finite family of mappings, we define the concept of procedure with Lipschitzian dependence of the coefficients. We give seven concrete examples of such procedures and prove the strong convergence of two viscosity methods.
