Unfamiliar Aspects of Bäcklund Transformations and an Associated Degasperis–Procesi Equation

We summarize the results of our recent work on Bäcklund transformations (BTs), particularly focusing on the relation between BTs and infinitesimal symmetries. We present a BT for an associated Degasperis–Procesi (aDP) equation and its superposition principle and investigate the solutions generated by applying this BT. Following our general methodology, we use the superposition principle of the BT to generate the infinitesimal symmetries of the aDP equation.     

Mesoscopic Modeling of Capillarity-Induced Two-Phase Transport in a Microfluidic Porous Structure

Mesoscopic modeling at the pore scale offers great promise in exploring the underlying structure transport performance of flow through porous media. The present work studies the fluid flow subjected to capillarity-induced resonance in porous media characterized by different porous structure and wettability. The effects of porosity and wettability on the displacement behavior of the fluid flow through porous media are discussed. The results are presented in the form of temporal evolution of percentage saturation and displacement of the fluid front through porous media. The present study reveals that the vibration in the form of acoustic excitation could be significant in the mobilization of fluid through the porous media. The dependence of displacement of the fluid on physicochemical parameters like wettability of the surface, frequency along with the porosity is analyzed. It was observed that the mean displacement of the fluid is more in the case of invading fluid with wetting phase where the driving force strength is not so dominant.     

Three-term polynomial progressions in subsets of finite fields

We prove that the group of diffeomorphisms of the interval [0, 1] contains surface groups whose action on (0, 1) has no global fix point and such that only countably many points of the interval (0, 1) have non-trivial stabiliser.
