A convergence theorem for the method of artificial viscosity applied to the nonstrictly hyperbolic system u(t)+1/2(3u2+v2)x=0, v(t)+(uv)x=0 is established. Convergence of a subsequence in the strong topology is proved without uniform estimates on the derivatives using the theory of compensated compactness and an analysis of progressing entropy waves.

VISCOSITY ITERATIVE METHODS FOR COMMON FIXED POINTS OF TWO NONEXPANSIVE MAPPINGS WITHOUT COMMUTATIVITY ASSUMPTION IN HILBERT SPACES

In this article, we introduce a new viscosity iterative method for two nonexpansive mappings in Hilbert spaces. We also prove, without commutativity assumption, that the iterates converge to a common fixed point of the mappings which solves some variational inequality. The results presented extend the corresponding results of Shimizu and Takahashi IT. Shimizu, W. Takahashi, Strong convergence to common fixed point of families of nonexpansive mappings, J. Math. Anal. Appl. 211 （1997）, 71-83], and Yao and Chen [Y. Yao, R. Chert, Convergence to common fixed points of average mappings without commutativity assumption in Hilbert spaces, Nonlinear Analysis 67（2007）, 1758-1763].

The New Viscosity Approximation Methods for Nonexpansive Nonself-Mappings

In this paper, to find the fixed points of the nonexpansive nonself-mappings, we introduced two new viscosity approximation methods, and then we prove the iterative sequences defined by above viscosity approximation methods which converge strongly to the fixed points of nonexpansive nonself-mappings. The results presented in this paper extend and improve the results of Song-Chen [1] and Song-Li [2].

STRONG CONVERGENCE OF AN INERTIAL EXTRAGRADIENT METHOD WITH AN ADAPTIVE NONDECREASING STEP SIZE FOR SOLVING VARIATIONAL INEQUALITIES

In this work,we investigate a classical pseudomonotone and Lipschitz continuous variational inequality in the setting of Hilbert space,and present a projection-type approximation method for solving this problem.Our method requires only to compute one projection onto the feasible set per iteration and without any linesearch procedure or additional projections as well as does not need to the prior knowledge of the Lipschitz constant and the sequentially weakly continuity of the variational inequality mapping.A strong convergence is established for the proposed method to a solution of a variational inequality problem under certain mild assumptions.Finally,we give some numerical experiments illustrating the performance of the proposed method for variational inequality problems.

Dual‑Wind Discontinuous Galerkin Methods for Stationary Hamilton‑Jacobi Equations and Regularized Hamilton‑Jacobi Equations

This paper develops and analyzes a new family of dual-wind discontinuous Galerkin(DG)methods for stationary Hamilton-Jacobi equations and their vanishing viscosity regularizations.The new DG methods are designed using the DG fnite element discrete calculus framework of[17]that defnes discrete diferential operators to replace continuous differential operators when discretizing a partial diferential equation(PDE).The proposed methods,which are non-monotone,utilize a dual-winding methodology and a new skewsymmetric DG derivative operator that,when combined,eliminate the need for choosing indeterminable penalty constants.The relationship between these new methods and the local DG methods proposed in[38]for Hamilton-Jacobi equations as well as the generalized-monotone fnite diference methods proposed in[13]and corresponding DG methods proposed in[12]for fully nonlinear second order PDEs is also examined.Admissibility and stability are established for the proposed dual-wind DG methods.The stability results are shown to hold independent of the scaling of the stabilizer allowing for choices that go beyond the Godunov barrier for monotone schemes.Numerical experiments are provided to gauge the performance of the new methods.

ITSTUDIES ON THE EFFECT OF UREA ON THE COMPATIBILITY OF PMMA/PVC MIXTURES IN DMF BY A DILUTE- SOLUTION VISCOMETRY METHOD

The interaction between poly(methymethacrylate) (PMMA) and poly(vinyl chloride) (PVC) has been studied indilute urea solutions of dimethylformamide (DMF) at 28℃ using a dilute solution viscometry method. The results show thatthe polymer mixtures are compatible in DMF solution in the absence of urea. The influence of urea addition on the degree ofcompatibility of the polymer mixtures has been studied in terms of the compatibility parameters (△b_m and △[η]_m). It wasfound that the compatibility of the polymer mixtures is decreased with increasing urea addition, passing through a minimumat 0.5 M urea.

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.

The aim of this paper is to prove the well-posedness（existence and uniqueness） of the L p entropy solution to the homogeneous Dirichlet problems for the anisotropic degenerate parabolic-hyperbolic equations with L p initial value.We use the device of doubling variables and some technical analysis to prove the uniqueness result.Moreover we can prove that the L p entropy solution can be obtained as the limit of solutions of the corresponding regularized equations of nondegenerate parabolic type.

EXISTENCE OF GLOBAL L~∞ SOLUTIONS TO A GENERALIZED n × n HYPERBOLIC SYSTEM OF LEROUX TYPE

In this article, we give the existence of global L∞bounded entropy solutions to the Cauchy problem of a generalized n × n hyperbolic system of Le Roux type. The main difficulty lies in establishing some compactness estimates of the viscosity solutions because the system has been generalized from 2×2 to n×n and more linearly degenerate characteristic fields emerged, and the emergence of singularity in the region {v1= 0} is another difficulty.We obtain the existence of the global weak solutions using the compensated compactness method coupled with the construction of entropy-entropy flux and BV estimates on viscous solutions.

INITIAL BOUNDARY VALUE PROBLEM FOR THE 3D MAGNETIC-CURVATURE-DRIVEN RAYLEIGH-TAYLOR MODEL

This article studies the initial-boundary value problem for a three dimensional magnetic-curvature-driven Rayleigh-Taylor model.We first obtain the global existence of weak solutions for the full model equation by employing the Galerkin’s approximation method.Secondly,for a slightly simplified model,we show the existence and uniqueness of global strong solutions via the Banach’s fixed point theorem and vanishing viscosity method.

GLOBAL WEAK SOLUTIONS FOR A NONLINEAR HYPERBOLIC SYSTEM

In this paper, we study the global existence of weak solutions for the Cauchy problem of the nonlinear hyperbolic system of three equations(1.1) with bounded initial data(1.2). When we fix the third variable s, the system about the variables ρ and u is the classical isentropic gas dynamics in Eulerian coordinates with the pressure function P(ρ, s) = ese-1/ρ,which, in general, does not form a bounded invariant region. We introduce a variant of the viscosity argument, and construct the approximate solutions of(1.1) and(1.2) by adding the artificial viscosity to the Riemann invariants system(2.1). When the amplitude of the first two Riemann invariants(w1(x, 0), w2(x, 0)) of system(1.1) is small,(w1(x, 0), w2(x, 0)) are nondecreasing and the third Riemann invariant s(x, 0) is of the bounded total variation, we obtained the necessary estimates and the pointwise convergence of the viscosity solutions by the compensated compactness theory. This is an extension of the results in [1].

Viscosity Approximation Methods for Equilibrium Problems in Hilbert Spaces Involving the New Iterative Process with Error

In this paper, we introduce an iterative scheme with error by the viscosity approximation method for finding a common element of the set of solutions of an equilibrium problem and the set of fixed points of a nonexpansive mapping in a Hilbert space. A strong convergence theorem is given, which generalizes all the results obtained by S.Takahashi and W.Takahashi in 2007. In addition, some of the methods applied in this paper improve those of S.Takahashi and W.Takahashi.

The influence of nonlinear shear stress on partially averaged Navier-Stokes(PANS)method

In most of partially averaged Navier-Stokes（PANS）methods,the Reynolds stress is solved by a linear hypothesis isotropic model.They could not capture all kinds of vortexes in tubomachineries.In this paper,a PANS model is modified from the RNG k-？turbulence model and is used to investigate the influence of the nonlinear shear stress on the simulation of the high pressure gradient flows and the large curvature flows.Comparisons are made between the result obtained by using the PANS model modified from the RNG k-？model and that obtained by using the nonlinear PANS methods.The flow past a curved rectangular duct is calculated by using the PANS methods.The obtained nonlinear shear stress agrees well with the experimental results,especially in the high pressure gradient region.The calculation results show that the nonlinear PANS methods are more reliable than the linear PANS methods for the high pressure gradient flows,the large curvature flows,and they can be used to capture complex vortexes in a turbomachinary.

Viscosity Approximations by Generalized Contractions for Resolvents of Accretive Operators in Banach Spaces

In this paper, we prove a strong convergence theorem for resolvents of accretive operators in a Banach space by the viscosity approximation method with a generalized contraction mapping. The proximal point algorithm in a Banach space is also considered. The results extend some very recent theorems of W. Takahashi.

Generalized Persistence of Entropy Weak Solutions for System of Hyperbolic Conservation Laws

Let u(t,x)be the solution to the Cauchy problem of a scalar conservation law in one space dimension.It is well known that even for smooth initial data the solution can become discontinuous in finite time and global entropy weak solution can best lie in the space of bounded total variations.It is impossible that the solutions belong to,for example,H^(1) because by Sobolev embedding theorem H^(1) functions are Holder continuous.However,the author notes that from any point(t,x),he can draw a generalized characteristic downward which meets the initial axis at y=α(t,x).If he regards u as a function of(t,y),it indeed belongs to H^(1) as a function of y if the initial data belongs to H^(1).He may call this generalized persistence(of high regularity)of the entropy weak solutions.The main purpose of this paper is to prove some kinds of generalized persistence(of high regularity)for the scalar and 2×2 Temple system of hyperbolic conservation laws in one space dimension.
