Long-time asymptotics and the radiation condition with time-periodic boundary conditions for linear evolution equations on the half-line and experiment

The asymptotic Dirichlet-to-Neumann (D-N) map is constructed for a class of scalar, constant coefficient, linear, third-order, dispersive equations with asymptotically time/periodic Dirichlet boundary data and zero initial data on the half-line, modeling a wavemaker acting upon an initially quiescent medium. The large time $t$ asymptotics for the special cases of the linear Korteweg-de Vries and linear Benjamin–Bona–Mahony (BBM) equations are obtained. The D-N map is proven to be unique if and only if the radiation condition that selects the unique wave number branch of the dispersion relation for a sinusoidal, time-dependent boundary condition holds: (i) for frequencies in a finite interval, the wave number is real and corresponds to positive group velocity, and (ii) for frequencies outside the interval, the wave number is complex with positive imaginary part. For fixed spatial location $x$, the corresponding asymptotic solution is (i) a traveling wave or (ii) a spatially decaying, time-periodic wave. The linearized BBM asymptotics are found to quantitatively agree with viscous core-annular fluid experiments.     

Self-consistency in non-extensive thermodynamics of highly excited hadronic states

The self-consistency of a thermodynamical theory for hadronic systems based on the non-extensive statistics is investigated. We show that it is possible to obtain a self-consistent theory according to the asymptotic bootstrap principle if the mass spectrum and the energy density increase q-exponentially. A direct consequence is the existence of a limiting effective temperature for the hadronic system. We show that this result is in agreement with experiments.     

An alternative scheme for calculating the unrestricted Hartree–Fock equation: Application to the boron and neon atoms

We present an alternative scheme for calculating the unrestricted Hartree–Fock (HF) equation. The scheme is based on the variational method utilizing the sophisticated basis functions that include no adjustable parameters. The validity of the present scheme is confirmed by actual calculations of the boron and neon atoms. The total energy of the present scheme is lower than that of the conventional restrictive HF equation, but higher than that of the CI method. Also, the resultant wave function satisfies the electron–nucleus cusp condition.     

Research on the properties of some planar polynomial differential equations

In this article, we use the new method of reflecting function to study the behavior of solutions of nonlinear time-vary differential equations, and give the sufficient conditions for these equations which have the reflecting function in the form of linear and fractional. We applied the obtained results to discuss the qualitative behavior of solutions of the higher degree polynomial differential systems and derive the sufficient conditions for a critical point to be a center.     

On the Neumann function and the method of images in spherical and ellipsoidal geometry

The invention of an image system for a boundary value problem adds to a significant understanding of the structure of the problem, both at the mathematical and at the physical level. In this paper, the interior and exterior Neumann functions for the Laplacian in the cases of spherical and ellipsoidal domains are represented in terms of images. Besides isolated images, the presence of the normal derivative in the Neumann condition demands an additional continuous distribution of images, which in the spherical cases, can be restricted to a one‐dimensional manifold, whereas for the ellipsoid, both a one‐dimensional and a two‐dimensional distribution of images is needed.

Multiple solutions of a quasilinear elliptic problem involving nonlinear boundary condition on exterior domain

In this paper, we study the multiplicity of non‐negative solutions for the quasilinear p‐Laplacian equation with the nonlinear boundary condition (1) where Δ_p denotes the p‐Laplacian operator, defined by △ _pu = div( | ? u | ^{p ? 2} ? u),1 < p < N, Ω is a smooth exterior domain in . is the outward normal derivative, . The parameters p,q,r are either or . The weight functions a(x),h(x),g(x) satisfy some suitable conditions. Using the decomposition of the Nehari manifold and the variational methods, we prove that problem (1) has at least two positive solutions provided 0 < | λ | < λ₁ for some λ₁.

The nonlinear bilevel programming problem:formulations,regularity and optimality conditions

In this paper, we study regularity and optimality conditions for the BLPP by using a marginal function formulation, where the marginal function is defined by the optimal value function of the lower problem. We address the regularity issue by exploring the structure of the tangent cones of the feasible set of the BLPP. These regularity results indicate that the nonlinear/nonlinear BLPP is most likely degenerate and a class of nonlinear/linear BLPP is regular in the conventional sense. Existence of exact penalty function is proved for a class of nonlinear/linear BLPP. Fritz-John type optimality conditions are derived for nonlinear BLPP, while KKT type conditions are obtained for a class of nonlinear/linear BLPP in the framework of nonsmooth analysis. A typical example is examined for these conditions and some applications of these conditions are pointed out     

Regularity for nonlinear elliptic systems with dini coefficients under natural growth condition for the case: 1 < m < 2

In this article, we consider interior regularity for weak solutions to nonlinear elliptic systems of divergence type with Dini continuous coefficients under natural growth condition for the case 1 < m < 2. All estimates in the case of m ≥ 2 is no longer suitable, and we can't obtain the Caccioppoli's second inequality by using these techniques developed in the case of m ≥ 2. But the Caccioppoli's second inequality is the key to use A-harmonic approximation method. Thus, we adopt another technique introduced by Acerbi and Fcsco to overcome the difficulty and we also overcome those difficulties due to Dini condition. And then we apply the A-harmonic approximation method to prove partial regularity of weak solutions.
