THE GLOBAL EXISTENCE OF BV SOLUTIONS OF THE ISENTROPIC p-SYSTEM WITH LARGE INITIAL DATA

In this paper,we study the global existence of BV solutions of the initial value problem for the isentropic p-system,where the state equation of the gas is given by P=Av^(-γ).Forγ>1,the general existence result for large initial data has not been obtained.By using the Glimm scheme,Nishida,Smoller and Diperna successively obtained the global existence results for(γ-1)TV(v_(0)(x),u_(0)(x))being small.In the present paper,by adopting a rescaling technique,we improve these results and obtain the global existence result under the condition that(γ-1)^(γ+1)(TV(v_(0)(x)))~(γ-1)(TV(u_(0)(x)))^(2) is small,which implies that,for fixedγ>1,either TV(v_(0)(x))or TV(u_(0)(x))can be arbitrarily large.

PHUI-GA: GPU-based efficiency evolutionary algorithm for mining high utility itemsets

Evolutionary algorithms(EAs)have been used in high utility itemset mining(HUIM)to address the problem of discover-ing high utility itemsets(HUIs)in the exponential search space.EAs have good running and mining performance,but they still require huge computational resource and may miss many HUIs.Due to the good combination of EA and graphics processing unit(GPU),we propose a parallel genetic algorithm(GA)based on the platform of GPU for mining HUIM(PHUI-GA).The evolution steps with improvements are performed in central processing unit(CPU)and the CPU intensive steps are sent to GPU to eva-luate with multi-threaded processors.Experiments show that the mining performance of PHUI-GA outperforms the existing EAs.When mining 90%HUIs,the PHUI-GA is up to 188 times better than the existing EAs and up to 36 times better than the CPU parallel approach.

GLOBAL STABILITY OF WAVE PATTERNS FOR COMPRESSIBLE NAVIER-STOKES SYSTEM WITH FREE BOUNDARY

In this article, we investigate the global stability of the wave patterns with the superposition of viscous contact wave and rarefaction wave for the one-dimensional compressible Navier-Stokes equations with a free boundary. It is shown that for the ideal polytropic gas, the superposition of the viscous contact wave with rarefaction wave is nonlinearly stable for the free boundary problem under the large initial perturbations for any γ 〉 1 with V being the adiabatic exponent provided that the wave strength is suitably small.

Retrieval of Single-Doppler Radar Wind Field by Nonlinear Approximation

The methods employed in recent years to retrieve vector wind information from single-Doppler radar observation are reviewed briefly. These methods are based on a linearity hypothesis for the wind field, so the retrieved wind field is sometimes negatively affected by the non-linearity of wind. This paper proposes a new method based on a non-linear approximation technique. This method, which relies on the piecewise smooth property of the wind field and makes full use of the radar velocity data, is applied to two cases of the Huaihe River Basin Energy and Water Cycle Experiment (HUBEX) in 1998. Checked against the wind field observed by dual-Doppler radar, the retrieved wind field by the method presented in this paper yields a relatively accurate horizontal vector wind field with high resolution, as well as a reasonable estimate of the magnitude of vertical velocity.

Stability for basic system of equations of atmospheric rhotion

The topological characteristics for the basic system of equations of atmospheric motion were analyzed with the help of method provided by stratification theory. It was proved that in the local rectangular coordinate system the basic system of equations of atmospheric motion is stable in infinitely differentiable function class. In the sense of local solution, the necessary and sufficient conditions by which the typical problem for determining solution is well posed were also given. Such problems as something about ＂speculating future from past＂ in atmospheric dynamics and how to amend the conditions for determining solution as well as the choice of underlying surface when involving the practical application were further discussed. It is also pointed out that under the usual conditions, three motion equations and continuity equation in the basic system of equations determine entirely the property of this system of equations.

We establish the uniform estimates with respect to the Mach number, and thus prove the convergence to the solution of the incompressible model for nematic liquid crystals.

CONTINUITY OF GENERALIZED INVERSES OF LINEAR OPERATORS IN BANACH SPACES AND ITS APPLICATIONS

The perturbation problem of generalized inverse is studied. And some new stability characteristics of generalized inverses were presented. It was also proved that the stability characteristics of generalized inverses were independent of the choice of the generalized inverse. Based on this result, two sufficient and necessary conditions for the lower semi-continuity of generalized inverses as the set-valued mappings are given.

Construction Theory of Function on Local Fields

We establish the construction theory of function based upon a local field Kp as underlying space. By virture of the concept of pseudo-differential operator, we introduce ＂fractal calculus＂ （or, p-type calculus, or, Gibbs-Butzer calculus）. Then, show the Jackson direct approximation theorems, Bermstein inverse approximation theorems and the equivalent approximation theorems for compact group D（C Kp） and locally compact group Kp^＋-（= Kp）, so that the foundation of construction theory of function on local fields is established. Moreover, the Jackson type, Bernstein type, and equivalent approximation theorems on the HOlder-type space C^σ（Kp）, σ 〉0, are proved; then the equivalent approximation theorem on Sobolev-type space Wr（Kp）, σ≥0, 1≤r 〈∞, is shown.

Three positive doubly periodic solutions of a nonlinear telegraph system

This paper studies existence of at least three positive doubly periodic solutions of a coupled nonlinear telegraph system with doubly periodic boundary conditions. First, by using the Green function and maximum principle, existence of solutions of a nonlinear telegraph system is equivalent to existence of fixed points of an operator. By imposing growth conditions on the nonlinearities, existence of at least three fixed points in cone is obtained by using the Leggett-Williams fixed point theorem to cones in ordered Banach spaces. In other words, there exist at least three positive doubly periodic solutions of nonlinear telegraph system.

GAUSS PERIODS AND CYCLIC CODES FROM CYCLOTOMIC SEQUENCES OF SMALL ORDERS

Let p =ef +1 be an odd prime with positive integers e and f. In this paper, we calculate the values of Gauss periods of order e =3, 4, 6 over a finite field GF(q), where q is a prime with q≠p. As applications, several cyclotomic sequences of order e =3, 4, 6 are employed to construct a number of classes of cyclic codes over GF(q) with prime length. Under certain conditions, the linear complexity and reciprocal minimal polynomials of cyclotomic sequences are calculated, and the lower bounds on the minimum distances of these cyclic codes are obtained.

Superconvergence Analysis of the Runge-Kutta Discontinuous Galerkin Method with Upwind-Biased Numerical Flux for Two-Dimensional Linear Hyperbolic Equation

In this paper,we shall establish the superconvergence properties of the Runge-Kutta dis-continuous Galerkin method for solving two-dimensional linear constant hyperbolic equa-tion,where the upwind-biased numerical flux is used.By suitably defining the correction function and deeply understanding the mechanisms when the spatial derivatives and the correction manipulations are carried out along the same or different directions,we obtain the superconvergence results on the node averages,the numerical fluxes,the cell averages,the solution and the spatial derivatives.The superconvergence properties in space are pre-served as the semi-discrete method,and time discretization solely produces an optimal order error in time.Some numerical experiments also are given.

FINITE TIME EMERGENCE OF A SHOCK WAVE FOR SCALAR CONSERVATION LAWS VIA LAX-OLEINIK FORMULA

In this paper, we use Lax-Oleinik formula to study the asymptotic behavior for the initial problem of scalar conservation law u_t + F(u)_x = 0. First, we prove a simple but useful property of Lax-Oleinik formula(Lemma 2.7). In fact, denote the Legendre transform of F(u) as L(σ), then we can prove that the quantity F(q)-′qF(q) + L(′F(q)) is a constant independent of q. As a simple application, we first give the solution of Riemann problem without using of Rankine-Hugoniot condition and entropy condition. Then we study the asymptotic behavior of the problem with some special initial data and prove that the solution contains only a single shock for t > T~*. Meanwhile, we can give the equation of the shock and an explicit value of T~*.
