SOLITARY WAVE AND PERIODIC WAVE SOLUTIONS FOR THE NON-NEWTONIAN FILTRATION EQUATIONS WITH NONLINEAR SOURCES AND A TIME-VARYING DELAY

This paper is concerned with the non-Newtonian filtration equations with non- linear sources and a time-varying delay. By an extension of Mawhin＇s continuation theorem and some analysis methods, several sufficient conditions ensuring the existence of solitary wave and periodic wave solutions are obtained. Some corresponding results in the literature are improved and extended. An example is given to illustrate the effectiveness of our results.

On the Cauchy problem for a doubly nonlinear degenerate parabolic equation with strongly nonlinear sources

In this article, we consider the existence of local and global solution to the Cauchy problem of a doubly nonlinear equation. By introducing the norms |||f||| h and 〈f〉h, we give the sufficient and necessary conditions on the initial value to the existence of local solution of doubly nonlinear equation. Moreover some results on the global existence and nonexistence of solutions are considered.

A Note to the Cauchy Problem for the Degenerate Parabolic Equations with Strongly Nonlinear Sources

In this note we study the nonexistence of nontrivial global solutions on S = R^N × （0,∞） for the following inequalities：｜u｜t≥△（｜u｜^m-1u）＋｜u｜^q and ｜u｜t≥div（｜△u｜^p-2△｜u｜）＋｜u｜^q.When m,p,q satisfy some given conditions, the nonexistence of nontrivial global solution is proved, without taking their traces on the hyperplans t = 0 into account.

The Velocity Measurement of Two-phase Flow Based on Particle Swarm Optimization Algorithm and Nonlinear Blind Source Separation

In order to overcome the disturbance of noise,this paper presented a method to measure two-phase flow velocity using particle swarm optimization algorithm,nonlinear blind source separation and cross correlation method.Because of the nonlinear relationship between the output signals of capacitance sensors and fluid in pipeline,nonlinear blind source separation is applied.In nonlinear blind source separation,the odd polynomials of higher order are used to fit the nonlinear transformation function,and the mutual information of separation signals is used as the evaluation function.Then the parameters of polynomial and linear separation matrix can be estimated by mutual information of separation signals and particle swarm optimization algorithm,thus the source signals can be separated from the mixed signals.The two-phase flow signals with noise which are obtained from upstream and downstream sensors are respectively processed by nonlinear blind source separation method so that the noise can be effectively removed.Therefore,based on these noise-suppressed signals,the distinct curves of cross correlation function and the transit times are obtained,and then the velocities of two-phase flow can be accurately calculated.Finally,the simulation experimental results are given.The results have proved that this method can meet the measurement requirements of two-phase flow velocity.

COMPARISON OF LINEAR AND NONLINEAR WAVES ASSOCIATED WITH STEADY-STATE FORCING SOURCES

Low-frequency phenomena in the atmosphere are intimately related to stationary waves and, in a sense, the former may even be viewed as the time-varying part of the quasi-stationary waves themselves, Much attention has been focused on nonlinear interactions in the conceptual study on stationary waves. Linear and nonlinear primitive-equation baroclinic spectral models are adopted to investigate the response of stationary waves to large- scale mechanical forcing and steady-state thermal forcing, both idealized and realistic, followed by calculations of the EP fluxes and three-dimensional wave activity fluxes (Plumb, 1985) for both the linear and nonlinear solu- tions. Results show that when the forcing source grows intense enough to be comparable to the real one, non- linear interaction becomes very important, especially for the maintenance of tropical and polar stationary waves. Care should be taken, however, in using the EP flux and Plumb's 3-D flux for diagnostic analysis of observational data as they are highly sensitive to nonlinear interaction.

Propagations of singularities in a parabolic system with coupling nonlocal sources

Thermodynamics and phase transition of topological dS black holes with a nonlinear source

We discuss black hole solutions of Einstein-Λ gravity in the presence of nonlinear electrodynamics in dS spacetime.Considering the correlation of the thermodynamic quantities respectively corresponding to the black hole horizon and cosmological horizon of dS spacetime and taking the region between the two horizons as a thermodynamic system,we derive effective thermodynamic quantities of the system according to the first law of thermodynamics,and investigate the thermodynamic properties of the system under the influence of nonlinearity parameter α.It is shown that nonlinearity parameter α influences the position of the black hole horizon and the critical state of the system,and along with electric charge has an effect on the phase structure of the system,which is obvious,especially as the effective temperature is below the critical temperature.The critical phase transition is proved to be second-order equilibrium phase transition by using the Gibbs free energy criterion and Ehrenfest equations.

RESTRICTED ADDITIVE SCHWARZ METHOD FOR A KIND OF NONLINEAR COMPLEMENTARITY PROBLEM

In this paper, a new Schwarz method called restricted additive Schwarz method （RAS） is presented and analyzed for a kind of nonlinear complementarity problem （NCP）. The method is proved to be convergent by using weighted maximum norm. Besides, the effect of overlap on RAS is also considered. Some preliminary numerical results are reported to compare the performance of RAS and other known methods for NCP.
