On the transfer matrix of a MIMO system

We develop a deterministic ab initio model for the input–output relationship of a multiple‐input multiple‐output (MIMO) wireless channel, starting from the Maxwell equations combined with Ohm's law. The main technical tools are scattering and geometric perturbation theories. The derived relationship can lead us to a deep understanding of how the propagation conditions and the coupling effects between the elements of multiple‐element arrays affect the properties of an MIMO channel, e.g. its capacity and its number of degrees of freedom.

On the well‐posedness of a mathematical model of quorum‐sensing in patchy biofilm communities

We analyze a system of reaction–diffusion equations that models quorum‐sensing in a growing biofilm. The model comprises two nonlinear diffusion effects: a porous medium‐type degeneracy and super diffusion. We prove the well‐posedness of the model. In particular, we present for the first time a uniqueness result for this type of problem. Moreover, we illustrate the behavior of model solutions in numerical simulations.

Second harmonic magnetoacoustic responses of magnetic nanoparticles in magnetoacoustic tomography with magnetic induction

Due to the unique magnetic, mechanical and thermal properties, magnetic nanoparticles(MNPs) have comprehensive applications as the contrast and therapeutic agents in biomedical imaging and magnetic hyperthermia. The linear and nonlinear magnetoacoustic responses determined by the magnetic properties of MNPs have attracted more and more attention in biomedical engineering. By considering the relaxation time of MNPs, we derive the formulae of second harmonic magnetoacoustic responses(2H-MARs) for a cylindrical MNP solution model based on the mechanical oscillations of MNPs in magnetoacoustic tomography with magnetic induction(MAT-MI). It is proved that only the second harmonic magnetoacoustic oscillations can be generated by MNPs under an alternating magnetic excitation. The acoustic pressure of the 2H-MAR is proportional to the square of the magnetic field intensity and exhibits a linear increase with the concentration of MNPs. Numerical simulations of the 2H-MAR are confirmed by the experimental measurements for various magnetic field intensities and solution concentrations using a laser vibrometer. The favorable results demonstrate the feasibility of the harmonic measurements without the fundamental interference of the electromagnetic excitation, and suggest a new harmonic imaging strategy of MAT-MI for MNPs with enhanced spatial resolution and improved signal-to-noise ratio in biomedical applications.     

Finite volume method for solving a one-dimensional parabolic inverse problem

In this paper, finite volume method is used to solve a one-dimensional parabolic inverse problem with source term and Neumann boundary conditions for the first time. Some advantages of this approach are developing difference schemes and maintaining certain properties of the physics of the problems, especially for the treatment of the source term and the unknown boundary conditions. Numerical results show that our method is more effective.     

Convective heat transfer in a conducting fluid over a permeable stretching surface with suction and internal heat generation/absorption

We consider a convective flow in a porous medium of an incompressible viscous conducting fluid impinging on a permeable stretching surface with suction, and internal heat generation/absorption. Using a similarity transformation the governing equations of the problem are reduced to a coupled third-order nonlinear ordinary differential equations. We first examine a number of special cases for which we may obtain exact solutions. We then obtain analytical solutions (by the Homotopy Analysis Method) and numerical solutions (by a boundary value problem solver), in order to further study the behavior of the nonlinear differential equations, for various values of the physical parameters. Our numerical solutions are shown to agree with the available results in the literature. We then employ the numerical results to bring out the effects of the suction parameter, heat source/sink parameter, stretching parameter, porosity parameter, the Prandtl number and the free convection parameter on the flow and heat transfer characteristics. In the absence of suction and free convection, our findings are in agreement with the corresponding numerical results of Attia [H.A. Attia, On the effectiveness of porosity on stagnation point flow towards a stretching surface with heat generation, Comput. Mater. Sci. 38 (2007) 741-745].     

Hybrid approximation of solutions of nonlinear operator equations and application to equation of Hammerstein-type

In this paper we study hybrid iterative scheme for finding a common element of set of solutions of generalized mixed equilibrium problem, set of common fixed points of finite family of weak relatively nonexpansive mapping and null spaces of finite family of γ-inverse strongly monotone mappings in a 2-uniformly convex and uniformly smooth real Banach space. Our results extend, improve and generalize the results of several authors which are announced recently. Application of our theorem to solution of equations of Hammerstein-type is of independent interest.

A multilevel decoupled method for a mixed Stokes/Darcy model

This paper studies decoupled numerical methods for a mixed Stokes/Darcy model for coupling fluid and porous media flows. A two-level algorithm is proposed and analyzed in Mu and Xu (2007) [10]. We generalize the two-level algorithm to a multilevel algorithm in this paper and present numerical analysis on the error estimates for the multilevel algorithm. The multilevel algorithm solves the mixed Stokes/Darcy system by applying efficient legacy code for single model solvers to solve two decoupled Stokes and Darcy subproblems on all the subsequently refined meshes, except for a much smaller global problem only on a very coarse initial mesh. Numerical experiments are conducted for both the two-level and multilevel algorithms to illustrate their effectiveness and efficiency, and validate the related theoretical analysis.     

Viscosity analysis on the Boltzmann equation

This paper is devoted to investigating the asymptotic properties of the renormalized solution to the viscosity equation tfε + v ·▽xfε = Q (fε,fε ) + εΔvfε as ε→ 0+ . We deduce that the renormalized solution of the viscosity equation approaches to the one of the Boltzmann equation in L1 ((0 , T ) × RN × RN ). The proof is based on compactness analysis and velocity averaging theory.
