Geometrical methods for analyzing the optimal management of tipping point dynamics

Natural resources are not infinitely resilient and should not be modeled as being such. Finitely resilient resources feature tipping points and history dependence. This paper provides a didactical discussion of mathematical methods that are needed to understand the optimal management of such resources: viscosity solutions of Hamilton–Jacobi–Bellman equations, the costate equation and the associated canonical equations, exact root counting, and geometrical methods to analyze the geometry of the invariant manifolds of the canonical equations. Recommendations for Resource Managers

• Management of natural resources has to take into account the possible breakdown of resilience and induced regime shifts.
• Depending on the characteristics of the resource and on its present and future economic importance, either for all initial states the same kind of management policy is optimal, or the type of the optimal management policy depends on the initial state.
• Modeling should reflect the finiteness of the data.

     

Lower bound of measure and embeddings of Sobolev,Besov and Triebel–Lizorkin spaces

In this article, we study the relation between Sobolev-type embeddings for Sobolev spaces or Hajłasz–Besov spaces or Hajłasz–Triebel–Lizorkin spaces defined on a doubling and geodesic metric measure space and lower bound for measure of balls either in the whole space or in a domain inside the space.     

Nonlinear obstacle problems with double phase in the borderline case

In this paper we study a double phase problem with an irregular obstacle. The energy functional under consideration is characterized by the fact that both ellipticity and growth switch between a type of polynomial and a type of logarithm, which can be regarded as a borderline case of the double phase functional with $(p,q)$-growth. We obtain an optimal global Calderón–Zygmund type estimate for the obstacle problem with double phase in the borderline case.     

Darboux transformations for a matrix long-wave–short-wave equation and higher-order rational rogue-wave solutions

A new matrix long-wave–short-wave equation is proposed with the of help of the zero-curvature equation. Based on the gauge transformation between Lax pairs, both onefold and multifold classical Darboux transformations are constructed for the matrix long-wave–short-wave equation. Resorting to the classical Darboux transformation, a multifold generalized Darboux transformation of the matrix long-wave–short-wave equation is derived by utilizing the limit technique, from which rogue wave solutions, in particular, can be obtained by employing the generalized Darboux transformation. As applications, we obtain rogue-wave solutions of the long-wave–short-wave equation and some explicit solutions of the three-component long-wave–short-wave model, including soliton solutions, breather solutions, the first-order and higher-order rogue-wave solutions, and others by using the generalized Darboux transformation.     

The Crank–Nicolson finite spectral element method and numerical simulations for 2D non-stationary Navier–Stokes equations

In this paper, we first build a semi-discretized Crank–Nicolson (CN) model about time for the two-dimensional (2D) non-stationary Navier–Stokes equations about vorticity–stream functions and discuss the existence, stability, and convergence of the time semi-discretized CN solutions. And then, we build a fully discretized finite spectral element CN (FSECN) model based on the bilinear trigonometric basic functions on quadrilateral elements for the 2D non-stationary Navier–Stokes equations about the vorticity–stream functions and discuss the existence, stability, and convergence of the FSECN solutions. Finally, we utilize two sets of numerical experiments to check out the correctness of theoretical consequences.
