Quantum Lattice-Gas Model for the Burgers Equation

A quantum algorithm is presented for modeling the time evolution of a continuous field governed by the nonlinear Burgers equation in one spatial dimension. It is a microscopic-scale algorithm for a type-II quantum computer, a large lattice of small quantum computers interconnected in nearest neighbor fashion by classical communication channels. A formula for quantum state preparation is presented. The unitary evolution is governed by a conservative quantum gate applied to each node of the lattice independently. Following each quantum gate operation, ensemble measurements over independent microscopic realizations are made resulting in a finite-difference Boltzmann equation at the mesoscopic scale. The measured values are then used to re-prepare the quantum state and one time step is completed. The procedure of state preparation, quantum gate application, and ensemble measurement is continued ad infinitum. The Burgers equation is derived as an effective field theory governing the behavior of the quantum computer at its macroscopic scale where both the lattice cell size and the time step interval become infinitesimal. A numerical simulation of shock formation is carried out and agrees with the exact analytical solution.

(2+1)维Burgers方程新的复合解

In this paper, a new generalized compound Riccati equations rational expansion method （GCRERE） is proposed. Compared with most existing rational expansion methods and other sophisticated methods, the proposed method is not only recover some known solutions, but also find some new and general complexiton solutions. Being concise and straightforward, it is applied to the （2＋1）-dimensional Burgers equation. As a result, eight families of new exact analytical solutions for this equation are found. The method can also be applied to other nonlinear partial differential equations.

Computational schemes for large-scale problems in extended linear-quadratic programming

Numerical approaches are developed for solving large-scale problems of extended linear-quadratic programming that exhibit Lagrangian separability in both primal and dual variables simultaneously. Such problems are kin to large-scale linear complementarity models as derived from applications of variational inequalities, and they arise from general models in multistage stochastic programming and discrete-time optimal control. Because their objective functions are merely piecewise linear-quadratic, due to the presence of penalty terms, they do not fit a conventional quadratic programming framework. They have potentially advantageous features, however, which so far have not been exploited in solution procedures. These features are laid out and analyzed for their computational potential. In particular, a new class of algorithms, called finite-envelope methods, is described that does take advantage of the structure. Such methods reduce the solution of a high-dimensional extended linear-quadratic program to that of a sequence of low-dimensional ordinary quadratic programs.This work was supported in part by grants AFOSR 87-0821 and AFOSR 89-0081 from the Air Force Office of Scientific Research.     

Critical mass of bacterial populations and critical temperature of self-gravitating Brownian particles in two dimensions

We show that the critical mass M_c=8π of bacterial populations in two dimensions in the chemotactic problem is the counterpart of the critical temperature T_c=GMm/4k_B of self-gravitating Brownian particles in two-dimensional gravity. We obtain these critical values by using the Virial theorem or by considering stationary solutions of the Keller-Segel model and Smoluchowski-Poisson system. We also consider the case of one-dimensional systems and develop the connection with the Burgers equation. Finally, we discuss the evolution of the system as a function of M or T in bounded and unbounded domains in dimensions d=1, 2 and 3 and show the specificities of each dimension. This paper aims to point out the numerous analogies between bacterial populations, self-gravitating Brownian particles and, occasionally, two-dimensional vortices.     

A new method for exact solutions of variant types of time‐fractional Korteweg‐de Vries equations in shallow water waves

The current article devoted on the new method for finding the exact solutions of some time‐fractional Korteweg–de Vries (KdV) type equations appearing in shallow water waves. We employ the new method here for time‐fractional equations viz. time‐fractional KdV‐Burgers and KdV‐mKdV equations for finding the exact solutions. We use here the fractional complex transform accompanied by properties of local fractional calculus for reduction of fractional partial differential equations to ordinary differential equations. The obtained results are demonstrated by graphs for the new solutions. Copyright © 2016 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

Liquid–crystalline nematic polymers revisited

A new model for nematic polymers is proposed, based on the probability ψ(u,u,t) for a macromolecule to be oriented along direction u while embedded in a u environment created by its neighbours. The potential of the internal forces is written Φ(u,u) accordingly. The free energy contains a contribution ν Φ + k_BT ln ψ where the brackets mean an average over the probability distribution, while ν is the (uniform) polymer number density. An equation is derived for the time-evolution of the order parameter S = uu − I/3, together with an expression for the stress tensor. These two results offer a generalization of the Doi Model in so far as they include a distortional energy, analogue to the Frank elastic energy for low molecular mass nematics. Extending the Maier–Saupe variational procedure, we specify the way that the internal potential Φ(u,u) must be written for it to favour non-zero values of the order parameter, while giving a penalty to situations with gradients of the order parameter. The result is quite different from the potential proposed a decade ago by Marrucci and Greco (their Φ depends on u only), while it has a clear connection with the so-called Landau-de Gennes (LdG) tensor models, which are based on a free-energy depending on the order parameter and its gradients.     

Onset of Rayleigh-Bénard convection in gases - classical and extended thermodynamics

This paper deals with the determination of the critical parameters that induce instability in the Rayleigh-Bénard arrangement, viz. a gas confined between two rigid plates and heated from below. In order to compute the critical values of the parameters, classical thermodynamics with the Navier-Stokes and Fourier constitutive relations and extended thermodynamics with thirteen moments are used. Linear stability analysis is performed. The results of both theories are illustrated and compared.Received: 26 August 2003, Accepted: 1 September 2003, Published online: 5 December 2003     

Recursion relations for the extended Krylov subspace method

The evaluation of matrix functions of the form f(A)v, where A is a large sparse or structured symmetric matrix, f is a nonlinear function, and v is a vector, is frequently subdivided into two steps: first an orthonormal basis of an extended Krylov subspace of fairly small dimension is determined, and then a projection onto this subspace is evaluated by a method designed for small problems. This paper derives short recursion relations for orthonormal bases of extended Krylov subspaces of the type K^m,mi+1(A)=span{A^-m+1v,…,A^-1v,v,Av,…,A^miv}, m=1,2,3,…, with i a positive integer, and describes applications to the evaluation of matrix functions and the computation of rational Gauss quadrature rules.
