Blow-up of solutions to a parabolic system with nonlocal source

This paper deals with a parabolic system with different diffusion coefficients and coupled nonlocal sources, subject to homogeneous Dirichlet boundary conditions. The conditions on global existence, simultaneous or non-simultaneous blow-up, blow-up set, uniform blow-up profiles and boundary layer are got using comparison principle and asymptotic analysis methods.

Determination of space‐dependent coefficients from temperature measurements using the conjugate gradient method

In this article, we consider coefficient identification problems in heat transfer concerned with the determination of the space‐dependent perfusion coefficient and/or thermal conductivity from interior temperature measurements using the conjugate gradient method (CGM). We establish the direct, sensitivity and adjoint problems and the iterative CGM algorithm which has to be stopped according to the discrepancy principle in order to reconstruct a stable solution for the inverse problem. The Sobolev gradient concept is introduced in the CGM iterative algorithm in order to improve the reconstructions. The numerical results illustrated for both exact and noisy data, in one‐ and two‐dimensions for single or double coefficient identifications show that the CGM is an efficient and stable method of inversion.     

Domain decomposition preconditioners for multiscale problems in linear elasticity

We analyze two‐level overlapping Schwarz domain decomposition methods for vector‐valued piecewise linear finite element discretizations of the PDE system of linear elasticity. The focus of our study lies in the application to compressible, particle‐reinforced composites in 3D with large jumps in their material coefficients. We present coefficient‐explicit bounds for the condition number of the two‐level additive Schwarz preconditioned linear system. Thereby, we do not require that the coefficients are resolved by the coarse mesh. The bounds show a dependence of the condition number on the energy of the coarse basis functions, the coarse mesh, and the overlap parameters, as well as the coefficient variation. Similar estimates have been developed for scalar elliptic PDEs by Graham et al. 1 The coarse spaces to which they apply here are assumed to contain the rigid body modes and can be considered as generalizations of the space of piecewise linear vector‐valued functions on a coarse triangulation. The developed estimates provide a concept for the construction of coarse spaces, which can lead to preconditioners that are robust with respect to high contrasts in Young's modulus and the Poisson ratio of the underlying composite. To confirm the sharpness of the theoretical findings, we present numerical results in 3D using vector‐valued linear, multiscale finite element and energy‐minimizing coarse spaces. The theory is not restricted to the isotropic (Lamé) case, extends to the full‐tensor case, and allows applications to multiphase materials with anisotropic constituents in two and three spatial dimensions. However, the bounds will depend on the ratio of largest to smallest eigenvalue of the elasticity tensor.     

On a Hilbert-type linear series operator and its applications

This paper deals with a Hilbert-type linear series operator and its norm. Several generalizations of the Hilbert-type inequalities whose kernels are symmetric and homogeneous of the first order are presented. Included are applications of some new extended Hilbert-type inequalities with the best possible constant factors and the equivalent forms are established. Also, the reverse forms and some particular forms are obtained as special cases of the results of this paper.     

Fuzzy decision-making method based on the weighted correlation coefficient under intuitionistic fuzzy environment

A multicriteria fuzzy decision-making method based on weighted correlation coefficients using entropy weights is proposed under intuitionistic fuzzy environment for some situations where the information about criteria weights for alternatives is completely unknown. To determine the entropy weights with respect to a set of criteria represented by intuitionistic fuzzy sets (IFSs), we establish an entropy weight model, which can be used to get the criteria weights, and then propose an evaluation formula of weighted correlation coefficient between an alternative and the ideal alternative. The alternatives can be ranked and the most desirable one(s) can be selected according to the weighted correlation coefficients. Finally, two illustrative examples demonstrate the practicality and effectiveness of the proposed method.     

The use of Chebyshev cardinal functions for the solution of a partial differential equation with an unknown time-dependent coefficient subject to an extra measurement

A numerical technique is presented for the solution of a parabolic partial differential equation with a time-dependent coefficient subject to an extra measurement. The method is derived by expanding the required approximate solution as the elements of Chebyshev cardinal functions. Using the operational matrix of derivative, the problem can be reduced to a set of algebraic equations. From the computational point of view, the solution obtained by this method is in excellent agreement with those obtained by previous works and also it is efficient to use.
