An efficient splitting technique for two‐layer shallow‐water model

We consider the numerical approximation of the weak solutions of the two‐layer shallow‐water equations. The model under consideration is made of two usual one‐layer shallow‐water model coupled by nonconservative products. Because of the nonconservative products of the system, which couple both one‐layer shallow‐water subsystems, the usual numerical methods have to consider the full model. Of course, uncoupled numerical techniques, just involving finite volume schemes for the basic shallow‐water equations, are very attractive since they are very easy to implement and they are costless. Recently, a stable layer splitting technique was introduced [Bouchut and Morales de Luna, M2AN Math Model Numer Anal 42 (2008), 683–698]. In the same spirit, we exhibit new splitting technique, which is proved to be well balanced and non‐negative preserving. The main benefit issuing from the here derived uncoupled method is the ability to correctly approximate the solution of very severe benchmarks. © 2014 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Summary of ISO/TC 201 standard: XXI. ISO 21270:2004—Surface chemical analysis—X‐ray photoelectron and Auger electron spectrometers—Linearity of intensity scale

This International Standard specifies two methods for determining the maximum count rate for an acceptable limit of divergence from linearity of the intensity scale of Auger and x‐ray photoelectron spectrometers. It also includes methods to correct for intensity non‐linearities so that a higher maximum count rate can be employed for those spectrometers for which the relevant correction equations have been shown to be valid.

Dynamic modeling and simulation of deploying process for space solar power satellite receiver

To reveal some dynamic properties of the deploying process for the solar power satellite via an arbitrarily large phased array (SPS-ALPHA) solar receiver, the symplectic Runge-Kuttamethod is used to simulate the simplified model with the consideration of the Rayleigh damping effect. The system containing the Rayleigh damping can be separated and transformed into the equivalent nondamping system formally to insure the application condition of the symplectic Runge-Kutta method©First, the Lagrange equation with the Rayleigh damping governing the motion of the system is derived via the variational principle. Then, with some reasonable assumptions on the relations among the damping, mass, and stiffness matrices, the Rayleigh damping system is equivalently converted into the nondamping system formally, so that the symplectic Runge-Kutta method can be used to simulate the deploying process for the solar receiver. Finally, some numerical results of the symplectic Runge-Kutta method for the dynamic properties of the solar receiver are reported. The numerical results show that the proposed simplified model is valid for the deploying process for the SPS-ALPHA solar receiver, and the symplectic Runge-Kutta method can preserve the displacement constraints of the system well with excellent long-time numerical stability.

On the development of a triple‐preserving Maxwell's equations solver in non‐staggered grids

We present in this paper a finite difference solver for Maxwell's equations in non‐staggered grids. The scheme formulated in time domain theoretically preserves the properties of zero‐divergence, symplecticity, and dispersion relation. The mathematically inherent Hamiltonian can be also retained all the time. Moreover, both spatial and temporal terms are approximated to yield the equal fourth‐order spatial and temporal accuracies. Through the computational exercises, modified equation analysis and Fourier analysis, it can be clearly demonstrated that the proposed triple‐preserving solver is computationally accurate and efficient for use to predict the Maxwell's solutions.

Positivity Preserving Forms have the Fatou Property

We prove that if (,D) is a positivity preserving form on L ² (E;m), and if (u _n)_n is a sequence in D() converging m-almost everywhere to u L ² (E;m), then (u,u) lim inf_n (u _n ,u _n ).     

Forcing Linearity Numbers for Modules over PID's

Let V be a module over a principal ideal domain. Then V = M N where M is divisible and N has no nonzero divisible submodules. In this paper we determine the forcing linearity number for V when N is a direct sum of cyclic modules. As a consequence, the forcing linearity numbers of several classes of Abelian groups are obtained.
