An optimization‐based domain decomposition method for numerical simulation of the incompressible Navier‐Stokes flows

This article is concerned about an optimization‐based domain decomposition method for numerical simulation of the incompressible Navier‐Stokes flows. Using the method, an classical domain decomposition problem is transformed into a constrained minimization problem for which the objective functional is chosen to measure the jump in the dependent variables across the common interfaces between subdomains. The Lagrange multiplier rule is used to transform the constrained optimization problem into an unconstrained one and that rule is applied to derive an optimality system from which optimal solutions may be obtained. The optimality system is also derived using “sensitivity” derivatives instead of the Lagrange multiplier rule. We consider a gradient‐type approach to the solution of domain decomposition problem. The results of some numerical experiments are presented to demonstrate the feasibility and applicability of the algorithm developed in this article. © 2009 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

On the Number of Facets of Three-Dimensional Dirichlet Stereohedra III: Full Cubic Groups

We are interested in the maximum possible number of facets that Dirichlet stereohedra for three-dimensional crystallographic groups can have. In two previous papers, D. Bochiş and the second author studied the problem for noncubic groups. This paper deals with “full” cubic groups, while “quarter” cubic groups are left for a subsequent paper. Here, “full” and “quarter” refers to the recent classification of three-dimensional crystallographic groups by Conway, Delgado-Friedrichs, Huson and Thurston. This paper’s main result is that Dirichlet stereohedra for any of the 27 full groups cannot have more than 25 facets. We also find stereohedra with 17 facets for one of these groups.

Decomposition and removability properties of John domains

In this paper we characterize John domains in terms of John domain decomposition property. In addition, we also show that a domain D in ℔ ⁿ is a John domain if and only if DP is a John domain, where P is a subset of D containing finitely many points of D. The best possibility and an application of the second result are also discussed.     

The domain of partial attraction of a Poisson law

Groshev gave a characterization of the union of domains of partial attraction of all Poisson laws in 1941. His classical condition is expressed by the underlying distribution function and disguises the role of the mean of the attracting distribution. In the present paper we start out from results of the recent probabilistic approach and derive characterizations for any fixed >0 in terms of the underlying quantile function. The approach identifies the portion of the sample that contributes the limiting Poisson behavior of the sum, delineates the effect of extreme values, and leads to necessary and sufficient conditions all involving . It turns out that the limiting Poisson distributions arise in two qualitatively different ways depending upon whether >1 or <1. A concrete construction, illustrating all the results, also shows that in the boundary case when =1 both possibilities may occur.     

Two-Dimensional Riemann Problems for the Compressible Euler System

Riemann problems for the compressible Euler system in two space dimensions are complicated and difficult, but a viable alternative remains missing. The author lists merits of one-dimensional Riemann problems and compares them with those for the current two-dimensional Riemann problems, to illustrate their worthiness. Two-dimensional Riemann problems are approached via the methodology promoted by Andy Majda in the spirits of modern applied mathematics; that is, simplified model is built via asymptotic analysis, numerical simulation and theoretical analysis. A simplified model called the pressure gradient system is derived from the full Euler system via an asymptotic process. State-of-the-art numerical methods in numerical simulations are used to discern smallscale structures of the solutions, e.g., semi-hyperbolic patches. Analytical methods are used to establish the validity of the structure revealed in the numerical simulation. The entire process, used in many of Majda＇s programs, is shown here for the two-dimensional Riemann problems for the compressible Euler systems of conservation laws     

Carleson measures on planar sets

In this paper, we investigate what are Carleson measures on open subsets in the complex plane. A circular domain is a connected open subset whose boundary consists of finitely many disjoint circles. We call a domain G multi-nicely connected if there exists a circular domain W and a conformal map ψ from W onto G such that ψ is almost univalent with respect the arclength on δW. We characterize all Carleson measures for those open subsets so that each of their components is multinicely connected and harmonic measures of the components are mutually singular. Our results suggest the extension of Carleson measures probably is up to this class of open subsets     

The generalized Roper-Suffridge extension operator on bounded complete Reinhardt domains

The generalized Roper-Suffridge extension operator Ф(f) on the bounded complete Reinhardt domain Ω in Cn with n ≥ 2 is defined by Φrn,β2,γ2,…,βn,γn(f)(z)=(rf(z1/r),(rf(z1/r)/z1)β2(f'(z1/r))γ2z2,…,(rf(z1/r)/z1)βn(f'(z1/r)γnzn) for (z1,z2,…,zn) ∈Ω, where r = r(Ω) = sup{|z1| (z1,z2,…,zn) ∈ Ω},0 ≤ γj ≤ 1 -βj,0 ≤ βj ≤ 1,and we choose the branch of the power functions such that (f(z1)/z1)βj |z1=0 = 1 and (f′(z1))γj |z1=0 =1,j = 2,…,n. In this paper, we prove that the operator Фrn,β2,γ2,…,βn,γn(f) is from the subset of S*α(U) to S*α(Ω)(0 ≤ α ＜ 1) on Ω and the operator Фrn,β2,γ2,…, βn,γn(f) preserves the starlikeness of order α or the spirallikeness of type β on Dp for some suitable constantsβj,γj,pj, where Dp ={(z1,z2,…,zn) ∈ Cn ∑nj=1|zj|pj ＜ 1} (pj ＞ 0, j = 1,2,…,n), U is the unit disc in the complex plane C, and Sα* (Ω) is the class of all normalized starlike mappings of order α on Ω. We also obtain that Φrn,β2,γ2,…,γn(f) ∈ S*α(Dp) if and only if f ∈ S*a(U) for 0 ≤ α ＜ 1 and some suitable constants βj,γj,pj.
