Global well-posedness for the 3-D MHD equations with partial diffusion in the periodic domain

In this paper, we prove the global well-posedness of the 3-D magnetohydrodynamics(MHD) equations with partial diffusion in the periodic domain when the initial velocity is small and the initial magnetic field is close to a background magnetic field satisfying the Diophantine condition.     

Potential reduction method for harmonically convex programming

In this paper, we introduce a potential reduction method for harmonically convex programming. We show that, if the objective function and them constraint functions are allk-harmonically convex in the feasible set, then the number of iterations needed to find an -optimal solution is bounded by a polynomial inm, k, and log(1/). The method requires either the optimal objective value of the problem or an upper bound of the harmonic constantk as a working parameter. Moreover, we discuss the relation between the harmonic convexity condition used in this paper and some other convexity and smoothness conditions used in the literature.The authors like to thank Dr. Hans Nieuwenhuis for carefully reading this paper and the anonymous referees for the worthy suggestions.     

Semicontinuity of multiple integrals onW k,p (Ω, ℜ m )(k≥1)

This paper shows thatW ^1,p -quasiconvexity is a necessary and sufficient condition of swlsc (sw*lsc) for multiple integrals with a Caratheodory function as the variational function, bounded by

First experiment to test whether space-time is flat. II. Effects of orbit

The gyroscope in an orbiting satellite will be acted on by additional gravitational fields due to the rotation of the earth and due to the orbital velocity of the satellite. According to special relativistic gravitational theory, we deduce _L ^(S) —the gyroscope's precession rate due to the orbital velocity—and _S ^(S) —the gyroscope's precession rate due to the earth's rotation in the polar orbit case. The results are _L ^(S) = (2/3) _L ^(G) , _S ^(S) = (3/2) cos (1 - sin² cos²)^1/2 _S ^(G) , where and are the gyroscope's polar angles, and _L ^(G) and _S ^(G) are the geodetic and frame-dragging precession rates predicted by general relativity, respectively.     

Theory of solid solubility for rare earth metal based alloys

Both parabola and ellipse separating schemes are used to study the solid solubilities for the binary alloy systems based on the 13 rare earth metals. It has been found that the soluble elements can be separated from the insoluble ones by a parabolyy ₁=a?bx ₁ ² or an ellipse(x ₂?m)²/c²+(y₂?n)²/d²=1. The results show that the overall reliabilities of the solid solubilities for the 897 binary alloys based on the rare earth metals are 89.2% and 92.8% for the parabola and ellipse regularities respectively. The constants a and b in the parabola equation, andm, n, c andd in the ellipse equation are discussed, which can be related to some appropriate parameters for each host metal respectively.
