The determining equations for the nonclassical symmetry reductions of nonlinear partial differential equations with arbitrary order can be obtained by requiring the compatibility between the original equations and the invariant surface conditions. The （2＋1）-dimensional shallow water wave equation, Boussinesq equation, and the dispersive wave equations in shallow water serve as examples i11ustrating how compatibility leads quickly and easily to the determining equations for their nonclassical symmetries.

Examples show that our results are precise.

Investigation on the Natural Modes of A Semi-Closed Floating Tank

Vessels with semi-closed tanks(i.e.,well docks)are widely applied in the military operation and maritime engineer-ing.The water is bound by the semi-closed floating tank and forced by both the incident waves and ship’s motions.The free surface oscillations inside the flooded well dock is thus distinctive and very complicated.So far,the natural modes of semi-closed floating tanks have not yet been studied.This paper investigates the characteristics of natural modes of a floating semi-closed tank by combining a mode-resolving model based on mild-slope equations and a hydrodynamic model based on computational fluid dynamics.Results show that the first three natural periods(i.e.,74,23.6,and 14 s)of the tank fall into the band of swell and infragravity waves and they could be triggered under certain circumstance.Multi-period free surface oscillations are observed inside the tank,including the longest natural period(i.e.,74 s),though the incident waves are monochromatic.A possible generation mechanism for the long-period mode is explained on the basis of liquid sloshing and harbor oscillations.Moreover,a long-period component with a period close to the natural mode of well dock is observed in the ship motions,which is generated by the interaction between the waves and ship.

Optimization of multibody systems based on the generalized-α projection method for DAEs

Efficient optimization strategy of multibody systems is developed in this paper. Aug- mented Lagrange method is used to transform constrained optimal problem into unconstrained form firstly. Then methods based on second order sensitivity are used to solve the unconstrained problem, where the sensitivity is solved by hybrid method. Generalized-α method and generalized-α projection method for the differential-algebraic equation, which shows more efficient properties with the lager time step, are presented to get state variables and adjoint variables during the optimization procedure. Numerical results validate the accuracy and efficiency of the methods is presented.

Bright and dark soliton solutions for some nonlinear fractional differential equations

In this work, we propose a new approach, namely ansatz method, for solving fractional differential equations based on a fractional complex transform and apply it to the nonlinear partial space-time fractional modified Benjamin-Bona- Mahoney （mBBM） equation, the time fractional mKdV equation and the nonlinear fractional Zoomeron equation which gives rise to some new exact solutions. The physical parameters in the soliton solutions： amplitude, inverse width, free parameters and velocity are obtained as functions of the dependent model coefficients. This method is suitable and more powerful for solving other kinds of nonlinear fractional PDEs arising in mathematical physics. Since the fractional deriva- tives are described in the modified Riemann-Liouville sense.

Coiflet solution of strongly nonlinear p-Laplacian equations

A new boundary extension technique based on the Lagrange interpolat- ing polynomial is proposed and used to solve the function approximation defined on an interval by a series of scaling Coiflet functions, where the coefficients are used as the single-point samplings. The obtained approximation formula can exactly represent any polynomials defined on the interval with the order up to one third of the length of the compact support of the adopted Coiflet function. Based on the Galerkin method, a Coifiet-based solution procedure is established for general two-dimensional p^Laplacian equations, following which the equations can be discretized into a concise matrix form. As examples of applications, the proposed modified wavelet Galerkin method is applied to three typical p-Laplacian equations with strong nonlinearity. The numerical results justify the efficiency and accuracy of the method.

Compact implicit integration factor methods for some complex-valued nonlinear equations

The compact implicit integration factor （cIIF） method is an efficient time discretization scheme for stiff nonlinear diffusion equations in two and three spatial dimensions. In the current work, we apply the cIIF method to some complex-valued nonlinear evolutionary equations such as the nonlinear SchrSdinger （NLS） equation and the complex Ginzburg-Landau （GL） equation. Detailed algorithm formulation and practical implementation of cIIF method are performed. The numerical results indicate that this method is very accurate and efficient.

A GENERALIZED GAUSS-TYPE QUADRATURE FORMULA AND ITS APPLICATIONS TO PSEUDOSPECTRAL METHOD

A generalized Gauss-type quadrature formula is introduced, which assists in selection of collocation points in pseudospectral method for differential equations with two-point derivative boundary conditions. Some results on the related Jacobi interpolation are established. A pseudospectral scheme is proposed for the Kuramoto-Sivashisky equation. A skew symmetric decomposition is used for dealing with the nonlinear convection term. The stability and convergence of the proposed scheme are proved. The error estimates are obtained. Numerical results show the efficiency of this approach.

Well-Posedness of Stochastic Continuity Equations on Riemannian Manifolds

The authors analyze continuity equations with Stratonovich stochasticity,■ρ+divh[ρo(u(t,x)+∑_(i=1)^(N)a_(i)(x)w_(i)(t))]=0defined on a smooth closed Riemannian manifold M with metric h.The velocity field u is perturbed by Gaussian noise terms Wi(t),:WN(t)driven by smooth spatially dependent vector fields a1(x),...,aN(x)on M.The velocity u belongs to L_(t)^(1)W_(x)^(1,2)with divh u bounded in Lf,for p>d+2,where d is the dimension of M(they do not assume div_(h) u∈L_(t,x)^(∞)).For carefully chosen noise vector fields ai(and the number N of them),they show that the initial-value problem is well-posed in the class of weak L^(2) solutions,although the problem can be ill-posed in the deterministic case because of concentration effects.The proof of this“regularization by noise”result is based on a L^(2) estimate,which is obtained by a duality method,and a weak compactness argument.

High-order accurate dissipative weighted compact nonlinear schemes

Based on the method deriving dissipative compact linear schemes ( DCS), novel high-order dissipative weighted compact nonlinear schemes (DWCNS) are developed. By Fourier analysis, the dissipative and dispersive features of DWCNS are discussed. In view of the modified wave number, the DWCNS are equivalent to the fifth-order upwind biased explicit schemes in smooth regions and the interpolations at cell-edges dominate the accuracy of DWCNS. Boundary and near boundary schemes are developed and the asymptotic stabilities of DWCNS on both uniform and stretching grids are analyzed. The multi-dimensional implementations for Euler and Navier-Stokes equations are discussed. Several numerical inviscid and viscous results are given which show the good performances of the DWCNS for discontinuities capturing, high accuracy for boundary layer resolutions, good convergent rates (the root-mean-square of residuals approaching machine zero for solutions with strong shocks) and especially the damping effect on the spurious oscillations which were found in the solutions obtained by TVD and ENO schemes.

Wolbachia infection dynamics by reaction-diffusion equations

Dengue fever is caused by the dengue virus and transmitted by Aedes mosquitoes.A promising avenue for eradicating the disease is to infect the wild aedes population with the bacterium Wolbachia driven by cytoplasmic incompatibility(CI).When releasing Wolbachia infected mosquitoes for population replacement,it is essential to not ignore the spatial inhomogeneity of wild mosquito distribution.In this paper,we develop a model of reaction-diffusion system to investigate the infection dynamics in natural areas,under the assumptions supported by recent experiments such as perfect maternal transmission and complete CI.We prove non-existence of inhomogeneous steady-states when one of the diffusion coefficients is sufficiently large,and classify local stability for constant steady states.It is seen that diffusion does not change the criteria for the local stabilities.Our major concern is to determine the minimum infection frequency above which Wolbachia can spread into the whole population of mosquitoes.We find that diffusion drives the minimum frequency slightly higher in general.However,the minimum remains zero when Wolbachia infection brings overwhelming fitness benefit.In the special case when the infection does not alter the longevity of mosquitoes but reduces the birth rate by half,diffusion has no impact on the minimum frequency.

Localized Exponential Time Differencing Method for Shallow Water Equations: Algorithms and Numerical Study

In this paper,we investigate the performance of the exponential time differencing(ETD)method applied to the rotating shallow water equations.Comparing with explicit time stepping of the same order accuracy in time,the ETD algorithms could reduce the computational time in many cases by allowing the use of large time step sizes while still maintaining numerical stability.To accelerate the ETD simulations,we propose a localized approach that synthesizes the ETD method and overlapping domain decomposition.By dividing the original problem into many subdomain problems of smaller sizes and solving them locally,the proposed approach could speed up the calculation of matrix exponential vector products.Several standard test cases for shallow water equations of one or multiple layers are considered.The results show great potential of the localized ETD method for high-performance computing because each subdomain problem can be naturally solved in parallel at every time step.

STABILITY ANALYSIS OF THE SPLIT-STEP THETA METHOD FOR NONLINEAR REGIME-SWITCHING JUMP SYSTEMS

In this paper,we investigate the stability of the split-step theta(SST)method for a class of nonlinear regime-switching jump systems–neutral stochastic delay differential equations(NSDDEs)with Markov switching and jumps.As we know,there are few results on the stability of numerical solutions for NSDDEs with Markov switching and jumps.The purpose of this paper is to enrich conclusions in such respect.It first devotes to show that the trivial solution of the NSDDE with Markov switching and jumps is exponentially mean square stable and asymptotically mean square stable under some suitable conditions.If the drift coefficient also satisfies the linear growth condition,it then proves that the SST method applied to the NSDDE with Markov switching and jumps shares the same conclusions with the exact solution.Moreover,a numerical example is demonstrated to illustrate the obtained results.

A numerical method for the solutions of the HIV infection model of CD4＋ T-cells

In this paper, the human immunodeficiency virus （HIV） infection model of CD4＋ T-cells is considered. In order to numerically solve the model problem, an operational method is proposed. For that purpose, we construct the operational matrix of integration for bases of Taylor polynomials. Then, by using this matrix operation and approximation by polynomials, the HIV infection problem is transformed into a system of algebraic equations, whose roots are used to determine the approximate solutions. An important feature of the method is that it does not require collocation points. In addition, an error estimation technique is presented. We apply the present method to two numerical examples and compare our results with other methods.

Chiral symmetry restoration and properties of Goldstone bosons at finite temperature

We study chiral symmetry restoration by analyzing thermal properties of QCD's(pseudo-)Goldstone bo-sons,especially the pion.The meson properties are obtained from the spectral densities of mesonic imaginary-time correlation functions.To obtain the correlation functions,we solve the Dyson-Schwinger equations and the inhomo-geneous Bethe-Salpeter equations in the leading symmetry-preserving rainbow-ladder approximation.In chiral limit,the pion and its partner sigma degenerate at the critical temperature T_(c).At T≥T_(c),it was found that the pion rapidly dissociates,which signals deconfinement phase transition.Beyond the chiral limit,the pion dissociation temperature can be used to define the pseudo-critical temperature of the chiral phase crossover,which is consistent with that ob-tained by the maximum point of chiral susceptibility.A parallel analysis for kaon and pseudoscalar ss suggests that heavymesons maysurviveabove T_(c).
