A thermodynamics-consistent spatiotemporally-nonlocal model for microstructure-dependent heat conduction

The spatiotemporally-nonlocal phenomena in heat conduction become significant but challenging for metamaterials with artificial microstructures.However,the microstructure-dependent heat conduction phenomena are captured under the hypothesis of spatiotemporally local equilibrium.To capture the microstructure-dependent heat conduction phenomena,a generalized nonlocal irreversible thermodynamics is proposed by removing both the temporally-local and spatially-local equilibrium hypotheses from the classical irreversible thermodynamics.The generalized nonlocal irreversible thermodynamics has intrinsic length and time parameters and thus can provide a thermodynamics basis for the spatiotemporally-nonlocal law of heat conduction.To remove the temporallylocal equilibrium hypothesis,the generalized entropy is assumed to depend not only on the internal energy but also on its first-order and high-order time derivatives.To remove the spatially local equilibrium hypothesis,the thermodynamics flux field in the dissipation function is assumed to relate not only to the thermodynamics force at the reference point but also to the thermodynamics force of the neighboring points.With the developed theoretical framework,the thermodynamics-consistent spatiotemporally-nonlocal models can then be developed for heat transfer problems.Two examples are provided to illustrate the applications of steady-state and transient heat conduction problems.

Verifying hierarchical network nonlocality in general quantum networks

Recently, a class of innovative notions on quantum network nonlocality(QNN), called full quantum network nonlocality(FQNN), have been proposed in Phys. Rev. Lett. 128 010403(2022). As the generalization of full network nonlocality(FNN), l-level quantum network nonlocality(l-QNN) was defined in arxiv. 2306.15717 quant-ph(2024). FQNN is a NN that can be generated only from a network with all sources being non-classical. This is beyond the existing standard network nonlocality, which may be generated from a network with only a non-classical source. One of the challenging tasks is to establish corresponding Bell-like inequalities to demonstrate the FQNN or l-QNN. Up to now, the inequality criteria for FQNN and l-QNN have only been established for star and chain networks. In this paper, we devote ourselves to establishing Bell-like inequalities for networks with more complex structures. Note that star and chain networks are special kinds of tree-shaped networks. We first establish the Bell-like inequalities for verifying l-QNN in k-forked tree-shaped networks. Such results generalize the existing inequalities for star and chain networks. Furthermore, we find the Bell-like inequality criteria for l-QNN for general acyclic and cyclic networks. Finally, we discuss the demonstration of l-QNN in the well-known butterfly networks.

Global Existence and Decay of Solutions for a Class of a Pseudo-Parabolic Equation with Singular Potential and Logarithmic Nonlocal Source

This article investigates the well posedness and asymptotic behavior of Neumann initial boundary value problems for a class of pseudo-parabolic equations with singular potential and logarithmic nonlinearity. By utilizing cut-off techniques and combining with the Faedo Galerkin approximation method, local solvability was established. Based on the potential well method and Hardy Sobolev inequality, derive the global existence of the solution. In addition, we also obtained the results of decay.

THE PERSISTENCE OF SOLUTIONS IN A NONLOCAL PREDATOR-PREY SYSTEM WITH A SHIFTING HABITAT

In this paper,we mainly study the propagation properties of a nonlocal dispersal predator-prey system in a shifting environment.It is known that Choi et al.[J Differ Equ,2021,302:807-853]studied the persistence or extinction of the prey and of the predator separately in various moving frames.In particular,they achieved a complete picture in the local diffusion case.However,the question of the persistence of the prey and of the predator in some intermediate moving frames in the nonlocal diffusion case was left open in Choi et al.'s paper.By using some a prior estimates,the Arzelà-Ascoli theorem and a diagonal extraction process,we can extend and improve the main results of Choi et al.to achieve a complete picture in the nonlocal diffusion case.

A nonlocal dispersal and time delayed HIV infection model with general incidences

Biologically,because of the impact of reproduction period and nonlocal dispersal of HIV-infected cells,time delay and spatial heterogeneity should be considered.In this paper,we establish an HIV infection model with nonlocal dispersal and infection age.Moreover,applying the theory of Fourier transformation and von Foerster rule,we transform the model to an integrodifferential equation with nonlocal time delay and dispersal.The well-posedness,positivity,and boundedness of the solution for the model are studied.

A new approach for pseudo hyperbolic partial differential equations with nonLocal conditions using Laplace Adomian decomposition method

This paper provides a nonlinear pseudo-hyperbolic partial differential equation with non-local conditions.Despite the importance of this problem,the exact solution to this problem is rare in the literature.Therefore,the Laplace-Adomian Decomposition Method(LADM)is used to provide a new approach to solving this problem.Additionally,we give a comparison between the exact and approximate solutions at various points with absolute error.The obtained result showed that the proposed method is effective and accurate for this problem and can be used for many other evolution of nonlinear equations in mathematical physics.

Sharing quantum nonlocality in the noisy scenario

It was showed in [Phys. Rev. Lett. 125 090401(2020)] that there exist unbounded number of independent Bobs who can share quantum nonlocality with a single Alice by performing sequentially measurements on the Bob's half of the maximally entangled pure two-qubit state. However, from practical perspectives, errors in entanglement generation and noises in quantum measurements will result in the decay of nonlocality in the scenario. In this paper, we analyze the persistency and termination of sharing nonlocality in the noisy scenario. We first obtain the two sufficient conditions under which there exist n independent Bobs who can share nonlocality with a single Alice under noisy measurements and the noisy initial two qubit entangled state. Analyzing the two conditions, we find that the influences on persistency under different kinds of noises can cancel each other out. Furthermore, we describe the change patterns of the maximal nonlocality-sharing number under the influence of different noises. Finally, we extend our investigation to the case of arbitrary finite-dimensional systems.

Propagation Dynamics of Forced Pulsating Waves for a Time Periodic Lotka-Volterra Cooperative System with Nonlocal Effects in Shifting Habitats

In this paper, we will concern the existence, asymptotic behaviors and stability of forced pulsating waves for a Lotka-Volterra cooperative system with nonlocal effects under shifting habitats. By using the alternatively-coupling upper-lower solution method, we establish the existence of forced pulsating waves, as long as the shifting speed falls in a finite interval where the endpoints are obtained from KPP-Fisher speeds. The asymptotic behaviors of the forced pulsating waves are derived. Finally, with proper initial, the stability of the forced pulsating waves is studied by the squeezing technique based on the comparison principle.

Einstein-Podolsky-Rosen Steering and Nonlocality in Open Quantum Systems

We investigate the dynamical behavior of quantum steering (QS), Bell nonlocality, and entanglement in open quantum systems. We focus on a two-qubit system evolving within the framework of Kossakowski-type quantum dynamical semigroups. Our findings reveal that the measures of quantumness for the asymptotic states rely on the primary parameter of the quantum model. Furthermore, control over these measures can be achieved through a careful selection of these parameters. Our analysis encompasses various cases, including Bell states, Werner states, and Horodecki states, demonstrating that the asymptotic states can exhibit steering, entanglement, and Bell nonlocality. Additionally, we find that these three quantum measures of correlations can withstand the influence of the environment, maintaining their properties even over extended periods.

Nonlocal controllability for semilinear problems in Banach spaces

If A： D（A） X→X is a densely defined and closed linear operator, which generates a linear semigroup S （t） in Banach space X. The nonlocal control/ability for the following nonlocal semilinear problems： u＇ （t） = Au （t） ＋ Bx（ t） ＋ f（ t, u（t） ）, 0≤t ≤ T with nonlocal initial condition u（0） = u0 ＋ g（u） is discussed in Banach space X. The results show that if semigroup S（t） is strongly continuous, the functionsf and g are compact and the control B is bounded, then it is nonlocally controllable. The nonlocal controllability for the above nonlocal problem is also studied when B and W are unbounded and the semigroup S（t） is compact or strongly continuous. For illustration, a partial differential equation is worked out.

NEW POINTS OF VIEW ON THE NONLOCAL FIELD THEORY AND THEIR APPLICATIONS TO THE FRACTURE MECHANICS(Ⅱ)——RE-DISCUSS NONLINEAR CONSTITUTIVE EQUATIONS OF NONLOCAL THERMOELASTIC BODIES

In this paper, nonlinear constitutive equations are deduced strictly according to the constitutive axioms of rational continuum mechanics. The existing judgments are modified and improved. The results show that the constitutive responses of nonlocal thermoelastic body are related to the curvature and higher order gradient of its material space, and there exists an antisymmetric stress whose average value in the domain occupied by thermoelastic body is equal to zero. The expressions of the antisymmetric stress and the nonlocal residuals are given. The conclusion that the directions of thermal conduction and temperature gradient are consistent is reached. In addition, the objectivity about the nonlocal residuals and the energy conservation law of nonlocal field is discussed briefly, and a formula for calculating the nonlocal residuals of energy changing with rigid motion of the spatial frame of reference is derived.

Seismic random noise suppression using an adaptive nonlocal means algorithm

Nonlocal means filtering is a noise attenuation method based on redundancies in image information. It is also a nonlocal denoising method that uses the self-similarity of an image, assuming that the valid structures of the image have a certain degree of repeatability that the random noise lacks. In this paper, we use nonlocal means filtering in seismic random noise suppression. To overcome the problems caused by expensive computational costs and improper filter parameters, this paper proposes a block-wise implementation of the nonlocal means method with adaptive filter parameter estimation. Tests with synthetic data and real 2D post-stack seismic data demonstrate that the proposed algorithm better preserves valid seismic information and has a higher accuracy when compared with traditional seismic denoising methods （e.g., f-x deconvolution）, which is important for subsequent seismic processing and interpretation.

A Nonlocal Operator Method for Partial Differential Equations with Application to Electromagnetic Waveguide Problem

A novel nonlocal operator theory based on the variational principle is proposed for the solution of partial differential equations.Common differential operators as well as the variational forms are defined within the context of nonlocal operators.The present nonlocal formulation allows the assembling of the tangent stiffness matrix with ease and simplicity,which is necessary for the eigenvalue analysis such as the waveguide problem.The present formulation is applied to solve the differential electromagnetic vector wave equations based on electric fields.The governing equations are converted into nonlocal integral form.An hourglass energy functional is introduced for the elimination of zeroenergy modes.Finally,the proposed method is validated by testing three classical benchmark problems.

The solutions of the strongly nonlocal spatial solitons with several types of nonlocal response functions

The fundamental and second order strongly nonlocal solitons of the nonlocal nonlinear Schrodinger equation for several types of nonlocal responses are calculated by Ritz＇s variational method. For a specific type of nonlocal response, the solutions of the strongly nonlocal solitons with the same beam width but different degrees of nonlocality are identical except for an amplitude factor. For a nonlocal case where the nonlocal response function decays in direct proportion to the mth power of the distance near the source point, the power and the phase constant of the strongly nonlocal soliton are in inverse proportion to the （m ＋ 2）th power of its beam width.

DYNAMICS OF A NONLOCAL DISPERSAL FOOT-AND-MOUTH DISEASE MODEL IN A SPATIALLY HETEROGENEOUS ENVIRONMENT

Foot-and-mouth disease is one of the major contagious zoonotic diseases in the world.It is caused by various species of the genus Aphthovirus of the family Picornavirus,and it always brings a large number of infections and heavy financial losses.The disease has become a major public health concern.In this paper,we propose a nonlocal foot-and-mouth disease model in a spatially heterogeneous environment,which couples virus-to-animals and animals-to-animals transmission pathways,and investigate the dynamics of the disperal.The basic reproduction number R_(0)is defined as the spectral radius of the next generation operator R(x)by a renewal equation.The relationship between R_(0)and a principal eigenvalue of an operator L_(0)is built.Moreover,the proposed system exhibits threshold dynamics in terms of R_(0),in the sense that R_(0)determines whether or not foot-and-mouth disease invades the hosts.Through numerical simulations,we have found that increasing animals'movements is an effective control measure for preventing prevalence of the disease.

Parametric modeling of carbon nanotubes and estimating nonlocal constant using simulated vibration signals-ARMA and ANN based approach

Nonlocal continuum mechanics is a popular growing theory for investigating the dynamic behavior of Carbon nanotubes(CNTs).Estimating the nonlocal constant is a crucial step in mathematical modeling of CNTs vibration behavior based on this theory.Accordingly,in this study a vibration-based nonlocal parameter estimation technique,which can be competitive because of its lower instrumentation and data analysis costs,is proposed.To this end,the nonlocal models of the CNT by using the linear and nonlinear theories are established.Then,time response of the CNT to impulsive force is derived by solving the governing equations numerically.By using these time responses the parametric model of the CNT is constructed via the autoregressive moving average(ARMA)method.The appropriate ARMA parameters,which are chosen by an introduced feature reduction technique,are considered features to identify the value of the nonlocal constant.In this regard,a multi-layer perceptron(MLP)network has been trained to construct the complex relation between the ARMA parameters and the nonlocal constant.After training the MLP,based on the assumed linear and nonlinear models,the ability of the proposed method is evaluated and it is shown that the nonlocal parameter can be estimated with high accuracy in the presence/absence of nonlinearity.

Numerical Computations of Nonlocal Schrodinger Equations on the Real Line

The numerical computation of nonlocal Schrödinger equations (SEs) on the whole real axis is considered. Based on the artifcial boundary method, we frst derive the exact artifcial nonrefecting boundary conditions. For the numerical implementation, we employ the quadrature scheme proposed in Tian and Du (SIAM J Numer Anal 51:3458-3482, 2013) to discretize the nonlocal operator, and apply the z-transform to the discrete nonlocal system in an exterior domain, and derive an exact solution expression for the discrete system. This solution expression is referred to our exact nonrefecting boundary condition and leads us to reformulate the original infnite discrete system into an equivalent fnite discrete system. Meanwhile, the trapezoidal quadrature rule is introduced to discretize the contour integral involved in exact boundary conditions. Numerical examples are fnally provided to demonstrate the efectiveness of our approach.
