About the compatibility between ansatzes and constraints for a local formulation of orbital‐free density functional theory

Functional properties that are exact for the Hohenberg–Kohn functional may turn into mutually exclusive constraints at a given level of ansatz. This is exemplarily shown for the local density approximation. Nevertheless, it is possible to reach exactly the Kohn–Sham data from an orbital‐free density functional framework based on simple one‐point functionals by starting from the Levy–Perdew–Sahni formulation. The energy value is obtained from the density‐potential pair, and therefore does not refer to the functional dependence of the potential expression. Consequently, the potential expression can be obtained from any suitable model and is not required to follow proper scaling behavior.     

The exact Fermi potential yielding the Hartree–Fock electron density from orbital‐free density functional theory

The exact expression for the Fermi potential yielding the Hartree–Fock electron density within an orbital‐free density functional formalism is derived. The Fermi potential, which is defined as that part of the potential that depends on the particles’ nature, is in this context given as the sum of the Pauli potential and the exchange potential. The exact exchange potential for an orbital‐free density functional formalism is shown to be the Slater potential.     

Similarity solutions for the flow behind an exponential shock in a non-ideal gas

Similarity solutions for the flow of a non-ideal gas behind a strong exponential shock driven out by a piston (cylindrical or spherical) moving with time according to an exponential law are obtained. Similarity solutions exist only when the surrounding medium is of constant density. Solutions are obtained, in both the cases, when the flow between the shock and the piston is isothermal or adiabatic. It is found that the assumption of zero temperature gradient brings a profound change in the density distribution as compare to that of the adiabatic case. Effects of the non-idealness of the gas on the flow-field between the shock and the piston are investigated. The variations of density-ratio across the shock and the location of the piston with the parameter of non-idealness of the gas are also obtained.     

Linearization of vector fields and embedding of diffeomorphisms in flows via Nash–Moser theorem

In the first part of this paper we give suitable spectral properties of the adjoint operators induced by appropriate perturbations of some hyperbolic linear vector fields. These properties are useful to prove general facts based on the Nash–Moser inverse function theorem. In the second part of this work we study circumstances where a global linearization of a vector field X$X$ in a real numerical space is feasible and where some diffeomorphisms which are close to exp(X)$exp\left(X\right)$ can be embedded in a flow.

Exponential stability of uniform Euler–Bernoulli beams with non-collocated boundary controllers

We study the stability of a robot system composed of two Euler–Bernoulli beams with non-collocated controllers. By the detailed spectral analysis, we prove that the asymptotical spectra of the system are distributed in the complex left-half plane and there is a sequence of the generalized eigenfunctions that forms a Riesz basis in the energy space. Since there exist at most finitely many spectral points of the system in the right half-plane, to obtain the exponential stability, we show that one can choose suitable feedback gains such that all eigenvalues of the system are located in the left half-plane. Hence the Riesz basis property ensures that the system is exponentially stable. Finally we give some simulation for spectra of the system.     

Holomorphic mappings preserving Minkowski functionals

We show that the equality _m1(f(x))=_m2(g(x))$m_1\left(f\left(x\right)\right)=m_2\left(g\left(x\right)\right)$ for x$x$ in a neighborhood of a point a$a$ remains valid for all x$x$ provided that f$f$ and g$g$ are open holomorphic maps, f(a)=g(a)=0$f\left(a\right)=g\left(a\right)=0$ and _m1,_m2$m_1,m_2$ are Minkowski functionals of bounded balanced domains. Moreover, a polynomial relation between f$f$ and g$g$ is obtained.     

Analyticity and exponential stability of semigroups for the elastic systems with structural damping in Banach spaces

In this paper, we consider a second order evolution equation in a Banach space, which can model an elastic system with structural damping. New forms of the corresponding first order evolution equation are introduced, and their well-posed property is proved by means of the operator semigroup theory. We give sufficient conditions for analyticity and exponential stability of the associated semigroups.     

On the uniqueness and analyticity of solutions in micropolar thermoviscoelasticity

This paper deals with the linear theory of isotropic micropolar thermoviscoelastic materials. When the dissipation is positive definite, we present two uniqueness theorems. The first one requires the extra assumption that some coupling terms vanish; in this case, the instability of solutions is also proved. When the internal energy and the dissipation are both positive definite, we prove the well-posedness of the problem and the analyticity of the solutions. Exponential decay and impossibility of localization are corollaries of the analyticity.     

A uniform stability result for thermoelasticity of type III with boundary distributed delay

In this paper we consider a thermoelastic system of type III with boundary distributed delay. Under suitable assumption on the weight of the delay, we prove, using the energy method, that the damping effect through heat conduction given by Green and Naghdi's theory is still strong enough to uniformly stabilize the system even in the presence of time delay.
