一种新的求解双曲型守恒律的三阶中心差分格式

本文提出了一种求解双曲型守恒律新的三阶中心差分格式，主要是引入了一种推广的三阶重构，并证明了这种重构在网格边界无振荡．所提的格式保持了中心差分格式简单的优点，不需用Riemann解算器，避免了进行特征解耦．数值试验结果表明本文格式是高精度、高分辨率的。

On Impulsive Hyperbolic Differential Inclusions with?Nonlocal Initial Conditions

This paper is focused mainly upon existence of solutions for a second-order impulsive hyperbolic differential inclusions with nonlocal initial conditions. By using some well-known fixed-point theorems, existence theorems are established when the multivalued map has convex or nonconvex values. As applications of these main theorems, some consequences are given for the sublinear growth cases. Y.-K.

A Partial Differential Inequality in Geological Models

Sedimentation and erosion processes in sedimentary basins can be modeled by a parabolic equation with a limiter on the fluxes and a constraint on the time variation.This limiter happens to satisfy a stationary scalar hyperbolic inequality,within a constraint,for which the authors prove the existence and the uniqueness of the solution.Actually,this solution is shown to be the maximal element of a convenient convex set of functions.The existence proof is obtained thanks to the use of a numerical scheme.     

Hyperbolic Yamabe problem

In this paper, we investigate the solutions of the hyperbolic Yamabe problem for the(1 + n)-dimensional Minkowski space-time. More precisely speaking, for the case of n = 1, we derive a general solution of the hyperbolic Yamabe problem; for the case of n = 2, 3, we study the global existence and blowup phenomena of smooth solutions of the hyperbolic Yamabe problem;while for general multi-dimensional case n ≥ 2, we discuss the global existence and non-existence for a kind of exact solutions of the hyperbolic Yamabe problem.     

基于扩展多面体的离散单元法及其作用于圆桩的冰载荷计算

对于具有复杂几何形态的多面体单元,线性接触模型不能准确地计算不同接触模式下的作用力,且接触变形和作用力方向也不易判断.基于闵可夫斯基和(Minkowski sum)方法的扩展多面体单元能够准确描述非规则颗粒单元的几何形态,并可精确计算单元间的接触碰撞作用.该方法具有接触判断简单、计算效率高的特点.它将基本多面体和扩展球体相叠加以形成具有光滑棱边和角点的扩展多面体单元.考虑扩展多面体单元相互作用过程中角点、棱边和平面之间的不同接触模式,发展了相应的非线性黏弹性接触模型. 该接触模型将不同接触模型下的法向刚度统一表述为单元接触中接触点处等效曲率半径的函数;黏滞力和切向弹性力接触模型则借鉴球体单元非线性接触模型的处理方法. 为检验扩展多面体的可靠性,对碎冰区冰块对圆桩结构的冰载荷进行了离散元分析. 采用沃洛诺伊(Voronoi)切割算法获得了碎冰的初始随机分布状态,并考虑了海冰在运动过程中的海水浮力和拖曳力.计算表明该扩展多面体单元可描述海冰在海流拖曳下的运动过程以及圆桩结构的动冰力特性.在此基础上进一步分析了冰速和冰块尺寸对圆桩冰力的影响,并确定了冰力在圆桩上的分布规律. 最后,讨论了目前扩展多面体单元在计算冰载荷方面的局限性和改进方法.      

Torsions of 3-Dimensional Small Covers

In this paper,it is shown that for a 3-dimensional small cover M over a polytope P,there are only 2-torsions in H1(M;Z).Moreover,the mod 2 Betti number growth of finite covers of M is studied.     

A Study of Hyperbolicity of Kinetic Stochastic Galerkin System for the Isentropic Euler Equations with Uncertainty

The authors study the fluid dynamic behavior of the stochastic Galerkin (SG for short) approximation to the kinetic Fokker-Planck equation with random uncertainty. While the SG system at the kinetic level is hyperbolic, its fluid dynamic limit, as the Knudsen number goes to zero and the underlying kinetic equation approaches to the uncertain isentropic Euler equations, is not necessarily hyperbolic, as will be shown in the case study fashion for various orders of the SG approximations.     

Small faces in stationary Poisson hyperplane tessellations

We consider the tessellation induced by a stationary Poisson hyperplane process in d‐dimensional Euclidean space. Under a suitable assumption on the directional distribution, and measuring the k‐faces of the tessellation by a suitable size functional, we determine a limit distribution for the shape of the typical k‐face, under the condition of given size and this tending to zero. The limit distribution is concentrated on simplices. This extends a result of Gilles Bonnet.
