Classical and quantum kinetic equations with exact conservation laws

Stationary and dynamic properties of reduced density matrices can be determined from formal or approximate closures of an infinite hierarchy of equations. The local macroscopic conservation laws place weak but important constraints on the reduced density matrices which should be respected by any closure. For pairwise additive forces conditions on the closure of the one- and two-particle equations are obtained that preserve the exact functional dependence of the conserved densities and their fluxes on the reduced density matrices. To illustrate the nature of these conditions, a closure approximation suitable for a quantum gas is given, yielding an extension of the time-dependent Hartree-Fock equations for the dynamics of a nuclear fluid to include collisions.

Integrating factors and conservation theorems of constrained Birkhoffian systems

In this paper the conservation theorems of the constrained Birkhoffian systems are studied by using the method of integrating factors. The differential equations of motion of the system are written. The definition of integrating factors is given for the system. The necessary conditions for the existence of the conserved quantity for the system are studied. The conservation theorem and its inverse for the system are established. Finally, an example is given to illustrate the application of the results.     

Challenging Students to View the Concept of Area in Triangles in a Broad Context: Exploiting the Features of Cabri-II

This study focuses on the constructions in terms of area and perimeter in equivalent triangles developed by students aged 12–15 years-old, using the tools provided by Cabri-Geometry II [Labore (1990). Cabri-Geometry (software), Université de Grenoble]. Twenty-five students participated in a learning experiment where they were asked to construct: (a) pairs of equivalent triangles “in as many ways as possible” and to study their area and their perimeter using any of the tools provided and (b) “any possible sequence of modifications of an original triangle into other equivalent ones”. As regards the concept of area and in contrast to a paper and pencil environment, Cabri provided students with different and potential opportunities in terms of: (a) means of construction, (b) control, (c) variety of representations and (d) linking representations, by exploiting its capability for continuous modifications. By exploiting these opportunities in the context of the given open tasks, students were helped by the tools provided to develop a broader view of the concept of area than the typical view they would construct in a typical paper and pencil environment.     

Multisymplectic implicit and explicit methods for Klein–Gordon–Schrödinger equations

We propose multisymplectic implicit and explicit Fourier pseudospectral methods for the Klein-Gordon-Schrödinger equations. We prove that the implicit method satisfies the charge conservation law exactly. Both methods provide accurate solutions in long-time computations and simulate the soliton collision well. Numerical results show the abilities of the two methods in preserving charge, energy, and momentum conservation laws.     

Two positivity preserving flux limited,second‐order numerical methods for a haptotaxis model

Two numerical methods for a one‐dimensional haptotaxis model, which exploit the use of van Leer flux limiter, are developed and analyzed. Sufficient conditions time step size and flux limiting are given for such formulation to ensure the non‐negativity of the discrete solution and second‐order accuracy in space. Another advantage is that we avoid solving large nonlinear systems of algebraic equations. The discrete preservation of total conservation of cell density, concentration, and logarithmic density is also verified for the numerical solution. Numerical results concerning accuracy, convergence rate, positivity, and conservation properties are presented and discussed. Similar approach could be applied efficiently in the corresponding two‐ and three‐dimensional problems. © 2012 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. Numer Methods Partial Differential Eq 2013     

An efficient parallel high-order compact scheme for the 3D incompressible Navier–Stokes equations

This article provides a strategy for solving incompressible turbulent flows, which combines compact finite difference schemes and parallel computing. The numerical features of this solver are the semi-implicit time advancement, the staggered arrangement of the variables and the fourth-order compact scheme discretisation. This is the usual way for solving accurately turbulent incompressible flows. We propose a new strategy for solving the Helmholtz/Poisson equations based on a parallel 2d-pencil decomposition of the diagonalisation method. The compact scheme derivatives are computed with the parallel diagonal dominant (PDD) algorithm, which achieves good parallel performances by introducing a bounded numerical error. We provide a new analysis of its effect on the numerical accuracy and conservation features. Several numerical experiments, including two simulations of turbulent flows, demonstrate that the PDD algorithm maintains the accuracy and conservation features, while conserving a good parallel performance, up to 4096 cores.

Preliminary study of UV ageing process of proteinaceous paint binder by FT-IR and principal component analysis

This work presents a preliminary study on the ageing process of proteinaceous binder materials used in painting under UV light. With this aim, two sets of model samples were prepared: samples prepared using a single protein material and complex samples prepared in a similar way to the sequence of layers in a real painting from lowest to highest complexity (protein, drying oils, pigment and varnish). The study focuses on acquiring information about the possible degradation process of proteinaceous binders due to ageing and how this process be affected by the presence of characteristic non-proteinaceous painting materials, such as lipids from linseed oil, terpenic compounds from varnish and inorganic pigments. Samples simulated the accelerated ageing process, as did the UV light exposition. The FT-IR spectra were recorded after 100, 500, 1000 and 1500 h of exposition. The study of the accelerated ageing process was performed by means of principal component analysis (PCA) using the FT-IR spectra obtained. Loadings from the significant principal components were analysed to find the FT-IR frequency (cm⁻¹) involved in the degradation process. The study showed the lack of any relevant modification on the proteins in the single model samples. On the contrary, the complex model samples showed the ageing process. The accelerated ageing process can be explained by a principal component from PCA. The most affected IR region was 2900-3600 cm⁻¹, where the amide band was included.
