Critical exponents for nonlinear diffusion equations with nonlinear boundary sources

This paper is concerned with the large time behavior of solutions to two types of nonlinear diffusion equations with nonlinear boundary sources on the exterior domain of the unit ball. We are interested in the critical global exponent q₀ and the critical Fujita exponent qc for the problems considered, and show that q₀=qc for the multi-dimensional porous medium equation and non-Newtonian filtration equation with nonlinear boundary sources. This is quite different from the known results that q₀<qc for the one-dimensional case.     

A continuity theorem for Stinespring's dilation

We show a continuity theorem for Stinespring's dilation: two completely positive maps between arbitrary C^∗-algebras are close in cb-norm if and only if we can find corresponding dilations that are close in operator norm. The proof establishes the equivalence of the cb-norm distance and the Bures distance for completely positive maps. We briefly discuss applications to quantum information theory.     

Diffusion-Ordered Spectroscopy (DOSY) as a Powerful NMR Method to Investigate Molecular Mobilities and Intermolecular Interactions in Complex Oil Mixtures

Studying the characteristics and molecular mechanisms of liquid self-diffusion coefficient and viscosity changes is of great significance for, e. g., chemical and petroleum processing. As examples of highly complex liquid,an asphaltene-free high-acid and high-viscosity crude oil and its extracted fractions were studied by comparing their ¹H DOSY diffusion maps. The crude oil exhibited a polydisperse diffusion distribution, including multiple diffusion portions with diffusion coefficients much smaller than that of any single fraction in independent diffusion. The main mechanism that leads to the decreases in the diffusion coefficients of crude oil is attributed to diffusion resistance enhanced by Dynamical Molecular-Interaction Networks (DMINs), rather than by enlargement of the diffusion species caused by molecular aggregation. Constructed through the synergistic interactions of various polar molecules in crude oil, DMINs dynamically bind polar molecules, trap polarizable molecules, and spatially hinder the free motion of non-polar molecules. Overall, this reduces the mobility of all molecular species, as illustrated by the decreased diffusion coefficients. This study demonstrates that DOSY is a powerful NMR method to investigate molecular motion abilities also in complex mixtures. In addition, the insights in the influence of the interaction matrix on the molecular mobility also help to understand the contribution of “structural viscosity” to the viscosity of heavy oil.

Modelling the wetting and cooking of a single cereal grain

Three models are presented for the wetting of whole grains ofcereal. Two are for temperatures below gelatinization temperatures,one of which incorporates the effects of swelling of the grain.A third model is presented for wetting of a grain at temperaturesabove gelatinization, and hence cooking the grain. The modelsare developed as partial differential equations, and solvedin a variety of ways. A model that ignores swelling at temperaturesbelow gelatinization is solved for wetting times by using theconcept of mean action time, which reduces the problem to anexactly solvable linear Poisson equation. The other two models,which include swelling and cooking respectively, are solvedapproximately, taking advantage of the steep nonlinear diffusionfronts that develop. The aim of the modelling is to improveunderstanding of the cooking of whole-grain cereals prior toprocessing into breakfast cereals. Moisture penetration curvesare obtained and compared. Regions where the penetration rateis approximately linear are noted, suggesting that nonlineardiffusion equations are a promising way to model grain wettingand cooking.

A Class of Nonlinear Nonlocal Singularly Perturbed Reaction Diffusion Systems

The singularly perturbed initial boundary value problems for the reaction diffusion system are raised. Firstly, under suitable conditions, using a iteration technique, the differential inequalities theorem is constructed and introducing two auxiliary functions the existence and uniqueness theorem of solution for the basic reaction diffusion system is proved. Using the singularly perturbed method the formal asymptotic expressions of the solution are constructed with power series theory. By using the comparison theorem the existence and its asymptotic behavior of solution for the original problem are studied. Finally, using method of estimate inequalities, the structure of solutions for the problem is discussed thoroughly in three cases and asymptotic solution of the original problem is given. The asymptotic behavior of solution in the three cases is proved.
