Identification of temperature‐dependent thermophysical properties in a partial differential equation subject to extra final measurement data

We consider an inverse problem for estimating the two coefficient functions c and k in a parabolic type partial differential equation c(u)u_t = ?[k(u)u_x]/?x with the aid of the measurements of u at two different times. The first‐ and second‐order one‐step group preserving schemes are developed. Solving the resultant algebraic equations with a closed‐form, we can estimate the unknown temperature‐dependent thermal conductivity and heat capacity. The new methods possess threefold advantages: they do not require any a priori information on the functional forms of thermal conductivity and heat capacity; no initial guesses are required; and no iterations are required. Numerical examples are examined to show that the new approaches have high accuracy and efficiency, even there are rare measured data. When the measured temperatures are polluted by uniform or normal random noise, the estimated results are also good. © 2007 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. Numer Methods Partial Differential Eq, 2007     

On the definition of an admitted Lie group for stochastic differential equations

A new definition of an admitted Lie group of transformations for stochastic differential equations involving Brownian motion is presented. The transformation of the dependent variables involves time as well, and it is proved that Brownian motion is transformed to Brownian motion. Applications to a variety of stochastic differential equations are presented.     

Bruhat intervals as rooks on skew Ferrers boards

We characterise the permutations π such that the elements in the closed lower Bruhat interval [id,π] of the symmetric group correspond to non-taking rook configurations on a skew Ferrers board. It turns out that these are exactly the permutations π such that [id,π] corresponds to a flag manifold defined by inclusions, studied by Gasharov and Reiner.Our characterisation connects the Poincaré polynomials (rank-generating function) of Bruhat intervals with q-rook polynomials, and we are able to compute the Poincaré polynomial of some particularly interesting intervals in the finite Weyl groups An and Bn. The expressions involve q-Stirling numbers of the second kind, and for the group An putting q=1 yields the poly-Bernoulli numbers defined by Kaneko.     

A New Algorithm for Solving the Word Problem in Braid Groups

One of the most interesting questions about a group is whether its word problem can be solved and how. The word problem in the braid group is of particular interest to topologists, algebraists, and geometers, and is the target of intensive current research. We look at the braid group from a topological point of view (rather than a geometric one). The braid group is defined by the action of diffeomorphisms on the fundamental group of a punctured disk. We exploit the topological definition in order to give a new approach for solving its word problem. Our algorithm, although not better in complexity, is faster in comparison with known algorithms for short braid words, and it is almost independent of the number of strings in the braids. Moreover, the algorithm is based on a new computer presentation of the elements of the fundamental group of a punctured disk. This presentation can be used also for other algorithms.     

The local finiteness of some groups generated by a conjugacy class of order 3 elements

We prove local finiteness for the groups generated by a conjugacy class of order 3 elements whose every pair generates a subgroup that is isomorphic to Z ₃, A ₄, A ₅, SL ₂(3), or SL ₂(5).     

Improvement of Renormalization Group for Barenblatt Equation

We construct a Hartree-Fock (self-consistent)-like algorithm with renormalization group (RG) approach to calculate the anomalous dimension in a nonlinear diffusion equation. We find that our result improves the original RG work because we include the effect of Heaviside function.
