A macroscopic model for an intermediate state between type‐I and type‐II superconductivity

A vectorial nonlocal and nonlinear parabolic problem on a bounded domain for an intermediate state between type‐I and type‐II superconductivity is proposed. The domain is for instance a multiband superconductor that combines the characteristics of both types. The nonlocal term is represented by a (space) convolution with a singular kernel arising in Eringen's model. The nonlinearity is coming from the power law relation by Rhyner. The well‐posedness of the problem is discussed under low regularity assumptions and the error estimate for a semi‐implicit time‐discrete scheme based on backward Euler approximation is established. In the proofs, the monotonicity methods and the Minty–Browder argument are used. © 2015 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. Numer Methods Partial Differential Eq 31: 1551–1567, 2015     

Strichartz Estimates for Non-Elliptic Schrödinger Equations on Compact Manifolds

In this note we consider the Schrödinger equation on compact manifolds equipped with possibly degenerate metrics. We prove Strichartz estimates with a loss of derivatives. The rate of loss of derivatives depends on the degeneracy of metrics. For the non-degenerate case we obtain, as an application of the main result, the same Strichartz estimates as that in the elliptic case. This extends Strichartz estimates for Riemannian metrics proved by Burq-Gérard-Tzvetkov to the non-elliptic case and improves the result by Salort for the degenerate case. We also investigate the optimality of the result for the case on 𝕊³ × 𝕊³.

Perpetual cutoff method and CDE′(K,N) condition on graphs

By using the perpetual cutoff method, we prove two discrete versions of gradient estimates for bounded Laplacian on locally finite graphs with exception sets under the condition of CD{E}^{\prime }(K,N). This generalizes a main result of F. Münch who considers the case of CD(K, \infty) curvature. Hence, we answer a question raised by Münch. For that purpose, we characterize some basic properties of radical form of the perpetual cutoff semigroup and give a weak commutation relation between bounded Laplacian \text{Δ} and perpetual cutoff semigroup P_t^W in our setting.     

Discontinuous Galerkin method for the coupled Stokes‐Biot model

In this paper, a semi‐discrete scheme and a fully discrete scheme of the Stokes‐Biot model are proposed, and we analyze the semi‐discrete scheme in detail. First of all, we prove the existence and uniqueness of the semi‐discrete scheme, and a‐priori error estimates are derived. Then, we present the same conclusions for the fully discrete scheme. Finally, under both matching and non‐matching meshes some numerical tests are given to validate the analysis of convergence, which well support the theoretical results.     

Weak Galerkin finite element methods combined with Crank-Nicolson scheme for parabolic interface problems

This article is devoted to the a priori error estimates of the fully discrete Crank-Nicolson approximation for the linear parabolic interface problem via weak Galerkin finite element methods (WG-FEM). All the finite element functions are discontinuous for which the usual gradient operator is implemented as distributions in properly defined spaces. Optimal order error estimates in both $L^{\infty}(H^1)$ and $L^{\infty}(L^2)$ norms are established for lowest order WG finite element space $({\cal P}_{k}(K),\;{\cal P}_{k-1}(\partial K),\;\big[{\cal P}_{k-1}(K)\big]^2)$. Finally, we give numerical examples to verify the theoretical results.     

Time decay of the solution to the Cauchy problem for a three-dimensional model of nonsimple thermoelasticity

This paper is devoted to the investigation of the solution to the Cauchy problem for a system of partial differential equations describing thermoelasticity of nonsimple materials in a three-dimensional space. The model of linear dynamical thermoelasticity of nonsimple materials is considered as the system of partial differential equations of fourth order. In this paper, we proposed a convenient evolutionary method of approach to the system of equations of nonsimple thermoelasticity. We proved the L^p−L^q time decay estimates for the solution to the Cauchy problem for linear thermoelasticity of nonsimple materials.
