Plane Symmetric Viscous Fluid Cosmological Models with Varying <Emphasis Type="Italic">Λ</Emphasis>-Term

Plane symmetric viscous fluid cosmological models of the universe with a variable cosmological term are investigated. The viscosity coefficient of bulk viscous fluid is assumed to be a power function of mass density whereas the coefficient of shear viscosity is to be proportional to rate of expansion in the model. We have also obtained a special model in which the shear viscosity is assumed to be zero. The cosmological constant Λ is found to be a decreasing function of time and a positive which is supported by results from recent supernovae Ia observations. Some physical and geometric properties of the models are also discussed.     

The method of lines applied to nonlinear nonlocal functional differential equations

This paper discusses nonlinear functional differential equation in a real reflexive Banach space with nonlocal history condition. By using the method of lines, the existence and uniqueness of a strong solution are established. Finally, some applications of the abstract results are presented.     

Global existence, singularities and ill-posedness for a nonlocal flux

In this paper we study a one-dimensional model equation with a nonlocal flux given by the Hilbert transform that is related with the complex inviscid Burgers equation. This equation arises in different contexts to characterize nonlocal and nonlinear behaviors. We show global existence, local existence, blow-up in finite time and ill-posedness depending on the sign of the initial data for classical solutions.     

Electroosmosis law via homogenization of electrolyte flow equations in porous media

By the homogenization approach we justify a two-scale model of ion transport in porous media for one-dimensional horizontal steady flows driven by a pressure gradient and an external horizontal electrical field. By up-scaling, the electroosmotic flow equations in horizontal nanoslits separated by thin solid layers are approximated by a homogenized system of macroscale equations in the form of the Poisson equation for induced vertical electrical field and Onsager's reciprocity relations between global fluxes (hydrodynamic and electric) and forces (horizontal pressure gradient and external electrical field). In addition, the two-scale approach provides macroscopic mobility coefficients in the Onsager relations.     

On a comparison principle for delay coupled systems with nonlocal and nonlinear boundary conditions

This paper is concerned with delay coupled systems of parabolic equations with nonlocal and nonlinear boundary conditions. For them, a new and general comparison principle is established, which is more general and useful than the existing results.     

On a nonlocal problem for semilinear differential equations with upper semicontinuous nonlinearities in general Banach spaces

Sufficient conditions on the existence of mild solutions for the following semilinear nonlocal evolution inclusion with upper semicontinuous nonlinearity: u^′(t)∈A(t)u(t)+F(t,u(t)), 0<t?d, u(0)=g(u), are given when g is completely continuous and Lipschitz continuous in general Banach spaces, respectively. An example concerning the partial differential equation is also presented.

Dynamics of surface dipole and tripole solitons in nonlocal nonlinear media with optical lattice field

We find the existence conditions for stationary dipole and tripole surface solitons formed at the interface of a nonlocal nonlinear medium and a lattice with linearly modulated frequency. We investigate how the degree of nonlocality, the depth, and the modulation frequency of the optical lattice field affect on the existence of the surface solitons and their dynamics. The relationship between the power and the model parameters is identified. The stability of the surface dipole and tripole solitons is numerically investigated.

Global Existence for Rate-Independent Gradient Plasticity at Finite Strain

We provide a global existence result for the time-continuous elastoplasticity problem using the energetic formulation. For this, we show that the geometric nonlinearities arising from the multiplicative decomposition of the strain can be controlled via polyconvexity and a priori stress bounds in terms of the energy density. While temporal oscillations are controlled via energy dissipation, the spatial compactness is obtained via regularizing terms involving gradients of the internal variables. Dedicated to Sir John Ball on the occasion of his 60th birthday.
