Test of athermal terms of activity coefficient models by Monte Carlo simulation with hard-core models

The infinite dilution activity coefficients of exactly athermal fluids were calculated by Monte Carlo simulation with hard-core models. The hard-core models used in this work were hard-sphere and hard-spherocylinder models. The Widom test particle method was adopted to calculate the residual chemical potentials of solutes in pure solvent and in pure solute solutions. The infinite dilution activity coefficients of solutes were obtained from the residual chemical potentials of solutes. The infinite dilution activity coefficients calculated by Monte Carlo simulation were compared with those of athermal terms in activity coefficient equations. Staverman–Guggenheim equation overestimates the activity coefficients. The deviations of activity coefficients increase with increasing the hard-core volume of solute. Flory–Huggins equation based on molar volume gives good results for the hard-spherocylinder systems. Elbro-FV equation gives good results for both the hard-sphere and hard-spherocylinder systems.     

Quantum theory for plasmon-assisted local field enhancement

We applied quantum theory for nonlocal response and plasmon-assisted field enhancement near a small metallic nanoscale antenna in the limit of weak incoming fields. A simple asymmetric bio-inspired design of the nanoantenna for polarization-resolved measurement is proposed. The spatial field intensity distribution was calculated for different field frequencies and polarizations. We have shown that the proposed design the antenna allows us to resolve the polarization of incoming photons.     

Mild solutions of non-autonomous second order problems with nonlocal initial conditions

In this paper we establish the existence of mild solutions for a non-autonomous abstract semi-linear second order differential equation submitted to nonlocal initial conditions. Our approach relies on the existence of an evolution operator for the corresponding linear equation and the properties of the Hausdorff measure of non-compactness.     

Long time behavior for nonlocal stochastic Kuramoto–Sivashinsky equations

In this paper, we consider a class of nonlocal stochastic Kuramoto–Sivashinsky equations driven by additive noises. Under some appropriate conditions, we investigate long time behavior, i.e., stability and growth bounds of the solutions to the equation. Finally, several examples are given to illustrate our results.     

On a nonlocal problem modelling Ohmic heating in planar domains

In this paper, we consider the nonlocal problem of the form ut-Δu = (λe-u)/(∫Ωe-udx)2,x ∈Ω, t0 and the associated nonlocal stationary problem -Δv = (λe-v)/(∫Ωe-vdx)2, x ∈Ω,where λ is a positive parameter. For Ω to be an annulus, we prove that the nonlocal stationary problemhas a unique solution if and only if λ 2| Ω| 2 , and for λ = 2|Ω|2, the solution of the nonlocal parabolic problem grows up globally to infinity as t →∞.

Local Regularity for Parabolic Nonlocal Operators

Weak solutions to parabolic integro-differential operators of order α ∈ (α₀, 2) are studied. Local a priori estimates of Hölder norms and a weak Harnack inequality are proved. These results are robust with respect to α↗2. In this sense, the presentation is an extension of Moser's result from [20 Moser , J. ( 1971 ). On a pointwise estimate for parabolic differential equations . Comm. Pure Appl. Math. 24 : 727 – 740 .[Crossref], [Web of Science ®] , [Google Scholar]].

A posteriori error estimates of discontinuous Galerkin methods for non-standard Volterra integro-differential equations

^** Email: jingtang{at}lsec.cc.ac.cn^*** Email: hermann{at}math.mun.ca In this paper we establish a posteriori error estimates forthe discontinuous Galerkin (DG) method applied to linear, semilinearand non-standard (non-linear) Volterra integro-differentialequations. We also present an analysis of the DG method withquadrature for the memory term. Numerical experiments basedon three integro-differential equations are used to illustratevarious aspects of the error analysis.
