Rigorous results in selection of steady needle crystals

This paper concerns the existence of solutions to a steady needle crystal growth problem in a one-sided model. We rigorously prove that for small nonzero anisotropy γ, analytic symmetric needle crystal solutions exist in the limit of surface tension ε² if only if the stokes constant S for a relatively simple nonlinear differential equation is zero. This Stokes constant S depends on the parameter β=2^9/7γε^−8/7 and earlier numerical calculations by a number of investigators have shown this to be zero for a discrete set of values of β. It is also proven that for γ=0, there can be no symmetric needle crystal solution in the considered space.The methodology consists of two steps. First, the original problem is reduced to a weak half-strip problem for any γ in a compact set of [0,1) by relaxation of the symmetry condition. The weak problem is shown to have a unique solution in the function space considered for any γ∈[0,γ_m] for some γ_m>0. When a symmetry is invoked, the weak problem is shown equivalent to the original needle crystal problem. Next, by considering the behavior of the solution in neighborhood of an appropriate complex turning point for γ∈(0,γ_m], we extract an exponentially small term in ε as ε→0⁺ that generally violates the symmetric condition. We prove that the symmetry condition is satisfied for small ε when the parameter β is constrained appropriately.

On Set-Theoretical Solutions to Quantum Yang-Baxter Equation

The problem on the set-theoretical solutions to the quantum Yang-Baxter equation was presented byDrinfel'd as a main unsolved problem in quantum group theory. The set-theoretical solutions are a natural extensionof the usual (linear) solutions. In this paper, we not only give a further study on some known set-theoretical solutions(the Venkov's solutions), but also find a new kind of set-theoretical solutions which have a geometric interpretation.Moreover, the new solutions lead to the metahomomorphisms in group theory.

Almost automorphic solutions for abstract functional differential equations

For abstract linear functional differential equations with an almost automorphic forcing term, we establish a result on the existence of almost automorphic solutions, which extends the classical theorem due to Massera on the existence of periodic solutions for linear periodic ordinary differential equations.     

ON INTERACTION OF SHOCK AND SOUND WAVE （I）

This paper studies the interaction of shock and gradient wave (sound wave) of solutions to the system of inviscid isentropic gas dynamics as a model for the corresponding problems for nonlinear hyperbolic systems. The problem can be reduced to a boundary value problem in a wedged dormain, By using the method of constructing asymptotic solutions and Newton‘siteration process it is proved that if a weak shock hits a gradient wave, then the grandient wave will split into two gradient waves, while the shock continuses propagating. In this paper the author reduces the problem to a standard form and constructs asymptotic solution of the problem. The existence of the genuine solution will he given in the following paper.
