MODIFIED H-R MIXED VARIATIONAL PRINCIPLE FOR MAGNETOELECTROELASTIC BODIES AND STATE-VECTOR EQUATION

Based upon the Hellinger-Reissner (H-R) mixed variational principle for three-dimensional elastic bodies, the modified H-R mixed variational theorem for magnetoelectroelastic bodies was established. The state-vector equation of magnetoelectroelastic plates was derived from the proposed theorem by performing the variational operations. To lay a theoretical basis of the semi-analytical solution applied with the magnetoelectroelastic plates, the state-vector equation for the discrete element in plane was proposed through the use of the proposed principle. Finally, it is pointed out that the modified H-R mixed variational principle for pure elastic, single piezoelectric or single piezomagnetic bodies are the special cases of the present variational theorem.

A variational formula for controlled backward stochastic partial differential equations and some application

An optimal control problem for a controlled backward stochastic partial differential equation in the abstract evolution form with a Bolza type performance functional is considered. The control domain is not assumed to be convex, and all coefficients of the system are allowed to be random. A variational formula for the functional in a given control process direction is derived, by the Hamiltonian and associated adjoint system. As an application, a global stochastic maximum principle of Pontraygins type for the optimal controls is established.

BASIC EQUATIONS, THEORY AND PRINCIPLE OF COMPUTATIONAL STOCK MARKET (Ⅰ)──BASIC EQUATIONS

This paper studies computational stock market by using network model and similar methodology used in solid mechanics. Four simultaneous basic equations, i. e., equation of interest rate and amount of circulating fond, equations of purchasing and selling of share, equation of changing rate of share price, and equation of interest rate, share price and its changing rate, have been established. Discussions mainly on the solution and its simple applications of the equation of interest rate and amount of circulating fond are given. The discussions also involve the proof of tending to the equilibrium state of network of stock market based on the time discrete form of the equation by using Banach theorem of contraction mapping, and the influence of amount of circulating fond with exponential attenuation due to the decreasing of banking interest rate.Keyworks: stock market; network model; differential equation; contraction mapping; elasticity; methodology

Constrained Hamilton variational principle for shallow water problems and Zu-class symplectic algorithm

In this paper, the shallow water problem is discussed. By treating the incompressible condition as the constraint, a constrained Hamilton variational principle is presented for the shallow water problem. Based on the constrained Hamilton variational principle, a shallow water equation based on displacement and pressure （SWE-DP） is developed. A hybrid numerical method combining the finite element method for spa- tial discretization and the Zu-class method for time integration is created for the SWE- DP. The correctness of the proposed SWE-DP is verified by numerical comparisons with two existing shallow water equations （SWEs）. The effectiveness of the hybrid numerical method proposed for the SWE-DP is also verified by numerical experiments. Moreover, the numerical experiments demonstrate that the Zu-class method shows excellent perfor- mance with respect to simulating the long time evolution of the shallow water.

Variational principles and governing equations in nano-dielectrics with the flexoelectric effect

The flexoelectric effect is very strong and coupled with large strain gradients for nanoscale dielectrics. At the nanoscale, the electrostatic force cannot be ignored. In this paper, we have established the electric enthalpy variational principle for nanosized dielectrics with the strain gradient and the polarization gradient effect, as well as the effect of the electrostatic force. The complete governing equations, which include the effect of the electrostatic force, are derived from this variational principle, and based on the principle the generalized electrostatic stress is obtained, the generalized electrostatic stress contains the Maxwell stress corresponding to the polarization and strain, and stress related to the polarization gradient and strain gradient. This work provides the basis for the analysis and computations for the electromechanical problems in nanosized dielectric materials.

MULTIPLE SOLUTIONS FOR NONHOMOGENEOUS SCHRDINGER-POISSON EQUATIONS WITH SIGN-CHANGING POTENTIAL

In this article, we study the following nonhomogeneous Schrodinger-Poissone quations{-△u＋λV（x）u＋K（x）Фu=f（x,u）＋g（x）,x∈R^3,-△Ф=k（x）u^2, x∈R^3}where λ 〉 0 is a parameter. Under some suitable assumptions on 11, K, f and g, the existence of multiple solutions is proved by using the Ekeland＇s variational principle and the Mountain Pass Theorem in critical point theory. In particular, the potential V is allowed to be signchanging.

Some variational principles in electroelastic media under finite deformation

It is proposed that the universal thermodynamic energy variational principle is in-cluded in the first law of thermodynamics. Some variational principles in the elec-troelastic media under finite deformation are derived from this universal thermo-dynamic variational principle. It is suggested that in the general electroelastic analysis the environment should be considered together with the discussed elec-troelastic medium. For the variational principle of nonlinear electroelastic media the variation of the electric potential is coupled with the virtual displacement,and the variation of the initial volume should be considered. The Maxwell stress in the initial configuration is naturally derived from this variational principle and it is unique in the second order precision.
