Monotonicity-Preserving激波捕捉格式在湍流大尺度模拟中的评估

对高阶激波捕捉格式的性能进行了系统的测评,重点分析了Suresh和Huynh(1997)所提出的Monotonicity-Preserving格式的性能.结果表明Monotonicity-Preserving格式的性能显著优于原始WENO(Weighted Essentially Non-Oscillatory)格式,和改进型WENO格式相当.对格式的分析进一步表明,迎风型的激波捕捉格式在湍流模拟方面的性能都不及高阶中心格式,其原因归结为激波捕捉格式所包含的线性和非线性耗散.因此,改进高阶激波捕捉格式的关键在于同时降低格式的线性耗散和非线性耗散,以提高格式对湍流脉动能量的保持和对小尺度脉动结构的捕捉能力.

Some Generalizations of Monotonicity Condition and Applications

0 Introduction It is well known that there axe a great number of interesting results in Fourier analysis established by assuming monotonicity of coefficients, and many of them have been generalized by loosing the condition to quasi-monotonicity, O-regularly varying quasi-monotonicity, etc..

FindingSymbolicandAllNumericalSolutionsforDesignOptimizationBasedonMonotonicityAnalysisandSolvingPol

A method for determining symbolic and all numerical solutions in design optimization based on monotonicity analysis and solving polynomial systems is presented in this paper. Groebner Bases of the algebraic system equivalent to the subproblem of the design optimization is taken as the symbolic (analytical) expression of the optimum solution for the symbolic optimization, i.e. the problem with symbolic coefficients. A method based on substituting and eliminating for determining Groebner Bases is also proposed, and method for finding all numerical optimum solutions is discussed. Finally an example is given, demonstrating the strategy and efficiency of the method.

COMPLETE MONOTONICITY FOR A NEW RATIO OF FINITELY MANY GAMMA FUNCTIONS

In this paper,by deriving an inequality involving the generating function of the Bernoulli numbers,the author introduces a new ratio of finitely many gamma functions,finds complete monotonicity of the second logarithmic derivative of the ratio,and simply reviews the complete monotonicity of several linear combinations of finitely many digamma or trigamma functions.

Direction monotonicity for a rational Bézier curve

The monotonicity of a rational Bezier curve, usually related to an explicit function, is determined by the used coordinate system. However, the shape of the curve is independent of the coordinate system. To meet the affine invariant property, a kind of generalized mono- tonicity, called direction monotonicity, is introduced for rational Bezier curves. The direction monotonicity is applied to both planar and space curves and to both Cartesian and affine co- ordinate systems, and it includes the traditional monotonicity as a subcase. By means of it, proper affine coordinate systems may be chosen to make some rational Bezier curves monotonic. Direction monotonic interpolation may be realized for some of the traditionally nonmonotonic data as well.

Symmetry and monotonicity of positive solutions to Schr?dinger systems with fractional p-Laplacians

In this paper,we first establish narrow region principle and decay at infinity theorems to extend the direct method of moving planes for general fractional p-Laplacian systems.By virtue of this method,we investigate the qualitative properties of positive solutions for the following Schrodinger system with fractional p-Laplacian{(-△)^(s)_(p)u+au^(p-1)=f(u,v),(-△)^(t)_(p)v+bv(p-1)=g(u,v),where 0<s,t<1 and 2<p<∞.We obtain the radial symmetry in the unit ball or the whole space R^(N)(N≥2),the monotonicity in the parabolic domain and the nonexistence on the half space for positive solutions to the above system under some suitable conditions on f and g,respectively.

Criteria for Response Monotonicity Preserving in Approximation of Fractional Order Systems

In approximation of fractional order systems,a significant objective is to preserve the important properties of the original system.The monotonicity of time/frequency responses is one of these properties whose preservation is of great importance in approximation process.Considering this importance,the issues of monotonicity preservation of the step response and monotonicity preservation of the magnitude-frequency response are independently investigated in this paper.In these investigations,some conditions on approximating filters of fractional operators are found to guarantee the preservation of step/magnitude-frequency response monotonicity in approximation process.These conditions are also simplified in some special cases.In addition,numerical simulation results are presented to show the usefulness of the obtained conditions.

ABSOLUTE MONOTONICITY INVOLVING THE COMPLETE ELLIPTIC INTEGRALS OF THE FIRST KIND WITH APPLICATIONS

Let K(r)be the complete elliptic integrals of the first kind for r∈(0,1)and f_(p)(x)=[(1−x)^(p)K(√x)].Using the recurrence method,we find the necessary and sufficient conditions for the functions−f′_(p),ln f_(p),−(ln f_(p))^((i))(i=1,2,3)to be absolutely monotonic on(0,1).As applications,we establish some new bounds for the ratios and the product of two complete integrals of the first kind,including the double inequalities exp[r^(2)(1−r^(2))/^(64)]/(1+r)^(1/4)<K(r)/K(√r)<exp[−r(1−r)/4],π/2 exp[θ0(1−2r^(2))]<π/2 K(r′)/K(r)<π/2(r′/r)^(p)exp[θ_(p)(1−2r^(2))],K^(2)(1/√2)≤K(r)K(r′)≤1/√2rr′K^(2)(1/√2)for r∈2(0,1)and p≥13/32,where r′=√1−r^(2) and θ_(p)=2Γ(3/4)^(4)/π^(2)−p.

On the Monotonicity of Convergence Rate of Modified Gauss-Seidel Method

In this note, we prove that the convergence rate of the modified Gauss-Seidel (MGS) method with preconditional I+S α is a monotonic function of preconditioning parameter α. Based on this result, to achieve better convergence rate we suggest proforming twice preconditoning when applying the MGS method to solve a linear system whose coefficient matrix is an irreducible non-singular M-matrix.

A Monotonicity Condition for Strong Convergence of the Mann Iterative Sequence for Demicontractive Maps in Hilbert Spaces

Let?be a real Hilbert space and?C?be a nonempty closed convex subset of H. Let T : C?→?C?be a demicontractive map satisfying?〈Tx, x〉?≥?‖x‖2 for all?x?∈ D (T). Then the Mann iterative sequence given by?xn + 1?= (1 - an) xn +?anT xn, where an ∈?(0, 1) n?≥?0, converges strongly to an element of F (T):= {x?∈ C : Tx = x}. This strong convergence is obtained without the compactness-type assumptions on C, which many previous results (see e.g. [1]) employed.

Inference in the Presence of Likelihood Monotonicity for Polytomous and Logistic Regression

This paper addresses the problem of inference for a multinomial regression model in the presence of likelihood monotonicity. This paper proposes translating the multinomial regression problem into a conditional logistic regression problem, using existing techniques to reduce this conditional logistic regression problem to one with fewer observations and fewer covariates, such that probabilities for the canonical sufficient statistic of interest, conditional on remaining sufficient statistics, are identical, and translating this conditional logistic regression problem back to the multinomial regression setting. This reduced multinomial regression problem does not exhibit monotonicity of its likelihood, and so conventional asymptotic techniques can be used.

THE MONOTONICITY OF CONVERGENCE RATE FOR MGS METHODS

In this paper we prove that the convergence rate of the modified Gauss-Seidel method is a monotonic function for some precondition parameters.

Complete Monotonicity of Functions Related to Trigamma and Tetragamma Functions

In this paper,we study the completely monotonic property of two functions involving the functionΔ(x)=[ψ′(x)]2+ψ″(x)and deduce the double inequality x^(2)+3x+3/3x^(4)(2x+1)^(2)<Δ(x)<625x^(2)+2275x+5043/3x^(4)(50x+41)^(2),x>0which improve some recent results,whereψ(x)is the logarithmic derivative of the Gamma function.Also,we deduce the completely monotonic degree of a function involvingψ′(x).

Proof of the Monotonicity of Grid Size and Its Application in Grid-Size Selection for Mesoscale Models

Terrain characteristics can be accurately represented in spectrum space. Terrain spectra can quantitatively reflect the effect of topographic dynamic forcing on the atmosphere. In wavelength space, topographic spectral energy decreases with decreasing wavelength, in spite of several departures. This relationship is approximated by an exponential function. A power law relationship between the terrain height spectra and wavelength is fitted by the least-squares method, and the fitting slope is associated with grid-size selection for mesoscale models. The monotonicity of grid size is investigated, and it is strictly proved that grid size increases with increasing fitting exponent, indicating that the universal grid size is determined by the minimum fitting exponent. An example of landslide-prone areas in western Sichuan is given, and the universal grid spacing of 4.1 km is shown to be a requirement to resolve 90% of terrain height variance for mesoscale models, without resorting to the parameterization of subgrid-scale terrain variance. Comparison among results of different simulations shows that the simulations estimate the observed precipitation well when using a resolution of 4.1 km or finer. Although the main flow patterns are similar, finer grids produce more complex patterns that show divergence zones, convergence zones and vortices. Horizontal grid size significantly affects the vertical structure of the convective boundary layer. Stronger vertical wind components are simulated for finer grid resolutions. In particular, noticeable sinking airflows over mountains are captured for those model configurations.

Monotonicity and Best Approximation in Banach Lattices

Hudzik and Kurc discussed some best approximation problems in Banach lattices by means of monotonicities. This paper deals with more general best approximation problems in Banach lattices. Existence, uniqueness, stability and continuity for such best approximation problems are discussed.

A High Order Accurate Bound-Preserving Compact Finite Difference Scheme for Two-Dimensional Incompressible Flow

For solving two-dimensional incompressible flow in the vorticity form by the fourth-order compact finite difference scheme and explicit strong stability preserving temporal discretizations,we show that the simple bound-preserving limiter in Li et al.(SIAM J Numer Anal 56:3308–3345,2018)can enforce the strict bounds of the vorticity,if the velocity field satisfies a discrete divergence free constraint.For reducing oscillations,a modified TVB limiter adapted from Cockburn and Shu(SIAM J Numer Anal 31:607–627,1994)is constructed without affecting the bound-preserving property.This bound-preserving finite difference method can be used for any passive convection equation with a divergence free velocity field.

Monotonicity and nonmonotonicity in L3-valued propositional logic

A sequent is a pair (Γ, Δ), which is true under an assignment if either some formula in Γ is false, or some formula in Δ is true. In L_(3)-valued propositional logic, a multisequent is a triple Δ∣Θ∣Γ, which is true under an assignment if either some formula in Δ has truth-value t, or some formula in Θ has truth-value m, or some formula in Γ has truth-value f. There is a sound, complete and monotonic Gentzen deduction system G for sequents. Dually, there is a sound, complete and nonmonotonic Gentzen deduction system G′ for co-sequents Δ: Θ: Γ. By taking different quantifiers some or every, there are 8 kinds of definitions of validity of multisequent Δ∣Θ∣Γ and 8 kinds of definitions of validity of co-multisequent Δ: Θ: Γ, and correspondingly there are 8 sound and complete Gentzen deduction systems for sequents and 8 sound and complete Gentzen deduction systems for co-sequents. Correspondingly their monotonicity is discussed.

Ultimate generalization to monotonicity for uniform convergence of trigonometric series

Chaundy and Jolliffe proved that if {a n } is a non-increasing (monotonic) real sequence with lim n →∞ a n = 0, then a necessary and sufficient condition for the uniform convergence of the series ∑∞ n=1 a n sin nx is lim n →∞ na n = 0. We generalize (or weaken) the monotonic condition on the coefficient sequence {a n } in this classical result to the so-called mean value bounded variation condition and prove that the generalized condition cannot be weakened further. We also establish an analogue to the generalized Chaundy-Jolliffe theorem in the complex space.

Travelling Wave Solutions in Delayed Reaction Diffusion Systems with Partial Monotonicity

This paper deals with the existence of travelling wave fronts of delayed reaction diffusion systems with partial quasi-monotonicity. We propose a concept of ＂desirable pair of upper-lower solutions＂, through which a subset can be constructed. We then apply the Schauder＇s fixed point theorem to some appropriate operator in this subset to obtain the existence of the travelling wave fronts.
