ASYMPTOTIC BEHAVIOUR OF EIGENVALUES FOR THE DISCONTINUOUS BOUNDARY-VALUE PROBLEM WITH FUNCTIONAL-TRANSMISSION CONDITIONS

In this study, the boundary-value problem with eigenvalue parameter generated by the differential equation with discontinuous coefficients and boundary conditions which contains not only endpoints of the considered interval, but also point of discontinuity and linear functionals is investigated. So, the problem is not pure boundary-value. The authors single out a class of linear functionals and find simple algebraic conditions on coefficients, which garantee the existence of infinit number eigenvalues. Also the asymptotic formulas for eigenvalues are found.

Solvability on boundary-value problems of elasticity of three-dimensional quasicrystals

Weak solution （or generalized solution） for the boundary-value problems of partial differential equations of elasticity of 3D （three-dimensional） quasicrystals is given, in which the matrix expression is used. In terms of Korn inequality and theory of function space, we prove the uniqueness of the weak solution. This gives an extension of existence theorem of solution for classical elasticity to that of quasicrystals, and develops the weak solution theory of elasticity of 2D quasicrystals given by the second author of the paper and his students.

Logarithmic Sine and Cosine Transforms and Their Applications to Boundary-Value Problems Connected with Sectionally-Harmonic Functions

Let stand for the polar coordinates in R2, ?be a given constant while satisfies the Laplace equation in the wedge-shaped domain or . Here αj(j = 1,2,...,n + 1) denote certain angles such that αj αj(j = 1,2,...,n + 1). It is known that if r = a satisfies homogeneous boundary conditions on all boundary lines ?in addition to non-homogeneous ones on the circular boundary , then an explicit expression of in terms of eigen-functions can be found through the classical method of separation of variables. But when the boundary?condition given on the circular boundary r = a is homogeneous, it is not possible to define a discrete set of eigen-functions. In this paper one shows that if the homogeneous condition in question is of the Dirichlet (or Neumann) type, then the logarithmic sine transform (or logarithmic cosine transform) defined by (or ) may be effective in solving the problem. The inverses of these transformations are expressed through the same kernels on or . Some properties of these transforms are also given in four theorems. An illustrative example, connected with the heat transfer in a two-part wedge domain, shows their effectiveness in getting exact solution. In the example in question the lateral boundaries are assumed to be non-conducting, which are expressed through Neumann type boundary conditions. The application of the method gives also the necessary condition for the solvability of the problem (the already known existence condition!). This kind of problems arise in various domain of applications such as electrostatics, magneto-statics, hydrostatics, heat transfer, mass transfer, acoustics, elasticity, etc.

AN EFFICIENT FINITE DIFFERENCE METHOD FOR STOCHASTIC LINEAR SECOND-ORDER BOUNDARY-VALUE PROBLEMS DRIVEN BY ADDITIVE WHITE NOISES

In this paper,we develop and analyze a finite difference method for linear second-order stochastic boundary-value problems(SBVPs)driven by additive white noises.First we regularize the noise by the Wong-Zakai approximation and introduce a sequence of linear second-order SBVPs.We prove that the solution of the SBVP with regularized noise converges to the solution of the original SBVP with convergence order O(h)in the meansquare sense.To obtain a numerical solution,we apply the finite difference method to the stochastic BVP whose noise is piecewise constant approximation of the original noise.The approximate SBVP with regularized noise is shown to have better regularity than the original problem,which facilitates the convergence proof for the proposed scheme.Convergence analysis is presented based on the standard finite difference method for deterministic problems.More specifically,we prove that the finite difference solution converges at O(h)in the mean-square sense,when the second-order accurate three-point formulas to approximate the first and second derivatives are used.Finally,we present several numerical examples to validate the efficiency and accuracy of the proposed scheme.

Some recent advances in 3D crack and contact analysis of elastic solids with transverse isotropy and multifield coupling

Significant progress has been made in mixed boundary-value problems associated with three-dimensional（3D） crack and contact analyses of advanced materials featuring more complexities compared to the conventional isotropic elastic materials.These include material anisotropy and multifield coupling,two typical characteristics of most current multifunctional materials.In this paper we try to present a state-of-the-art description of 3D exact/analytical solutions derived for crack and contact problems of elastic solids with both transverse isotropy and multifield coupling in the latest decade by the potential theory method in the spirit of V.I.Fabrikant.whose ingenious breakthrough brings new vigor and vitality to the old research subject of classical potential theory.We are particularly interested in crack and contact problems with certain nonlinear features.Emphasis is also placed on the coupling between the temperature field（or the like） and other physical fields（e.g.,elastic,electric,and magnetic fields）.We further highlight the practical significance of 3D contact solutions,in particular in applications related to modern scanning probe microscopes.

Precise integration method for solving singular perturbation problems

This paper presents a precise method for solving singularly perturbed boundary-value problems with the boundary layer at one end. The method divides the interval evenly and gives a set of algebraic equations in a matrix form by the precise integration relationship of each segment. Substituting the boundary conditions into the algebraic equations, the coefficient matrix can be transformed to the block tridiagonal matrix. Considering the nature of the problem, an efficient reduction method is given for solving singular perturbation problems. Since the precise integration relationship introduces no discrete error in the discrete process, the present method has high precision. Numerical examples show the validity of the present method.

The displacements of the plate are assumed appropriately to derive the solutions of the 3-D Navier equations. And the conditions on the plate's surface are investigated. In the examples, the boundary-value problems of the plate are solved by applying the Navier-equation's solutions and their closed-form solutions are obtained. The results formulated in the present paper satisfy exactly the governing equations and can reflect precisely the boundary effects of complicated distributions on the edge of plates.

Convergence and Superconvergence of the Local Discontinuous Galerkin Method for Semilinear Second‑Order Elliptic Problems on Cartesian Grids

This paper is concerned with convergence and superconvergence properties of the local discontinuous Galerkin(LDG)method for two-dimensional semilinear second-order elliptic problems of the form−Δu=f(x,y,u)on Cartesian grids.By introducing special GaussRadau projections and using duality arguments,we obtain,under some suitable choice of numerical fuxes,the optimal convergence order in L2-norm of O(h^(p+1))for the LDG solution and its gradient,when tensor product polynomials of degree at most p and grid size h are used.Moreover,we prove that the LDG solutions are superconvergent with an order p+2 toward particular Gauss-Radau projections of the exact solutions.Finally,we show that the error between the gradient of the LDG solution and the gradient of a special Gauss-Radau projection of the exact solution achieves(p+1)-th order superconvergence.Some numerical experiments are performed to illustrate the theoretical results.

Discontinuous Sturm-Liouville Problems Containing Eigenparameter in the Boundary Conditions

In this paper, discontinuous Sturm-Liouville problems, which contain eigenvalue parameters both in the equation and in one of the boundary conditions, are investigated. By using an operatortheoretic interpretation we extend some classic results for regular Sturm-Liouville problems and obtain asymptotic approximate formulae for eigenvalues and normalized eigenfunctions. We modify some techniques of [Fulton, C. T., Proc. Roy. Soc. Edin. 77 （A）, 293-308 （1977）], [Walter, J., Math. Z., 133, 301-312 （1973）] and [Titchmarsh, E. C., Eigenfunctions Expansion Associated with Second Order Differential Equations I, 2nd edn., Oxford Univ. Pres, London, 1962], then by using these techniques we obtain asymptotic formulae for eigenelement norms and normalized eigenfunctions.

Unconventional Hamilton-type variational principles for nonlinear coupled thermoelastodynamics

According to the basic idea of classical yin-yang complementarity and modem dual-com plementarity, in a simple and unified new way proposed by Luo, the unconventional Hamilton-type vari ational principles for geometrically nonlinear coupled thermoelastodynamics can be established system atically. The new unconventional Hamilton-type variational principle can fully characterize the initia boundary-value problem of this dynamics. In this paper, an important integral relation is given, which can be considered as the expression of the generalized principle of virtual work for geometrically nonlin ear coupled thermodynamics. Based on this relation, it is possible not only to obtain the principle of vir tual work in geometrically nonlinear coupled thermodynamics, but also to derive systematically the complementary functionals for eight-field, six-field, four-field and two-field unconventional Hamilton type variational principles by the generalized Legendre transformations given in this paper. Further more, with this approach, the intrinsic relationship among various principles can be explained clearly.

CRACK PROBLEM IN NONLOCAL ELASTICITY

The line crack in a nonlocal elastic medium has been analyzed by the dislocation pile-up model. The obtained crack tip stress has a finite value. It is proposed that the long-range cohesive force between the two crack surfaces must be considered in the nonlocal stress boundary conditions. A surface energy definition possessing more definite physical meaning is given. The surface energy, theoretical strength, fracture criterion, and curvature radius of the crack tip are obtained. A scheme for solving nonlocal mixed boundary-value problem with the classical displacement field is suggested.

Approximate Solutions to the Hamilton-Jacobi Equations for Generating Functions

For a nonlinear finite time optimal control problem,a systematic numerical algorithm to solve the Hamilton-Jacobi equation for a generating function is proposed in this paper.This algorithm allows one to obtain the Taylor series expansion of the generating function up to any prescribed order by solving a sequence of first order ordinary differential equations recursively.Furthermore,the coefficients of the Taylor series expansion of the generating function can be computed exactly under a certain technical condition.Once a generating function is found,it can be used to generate a family of optimal control for different boundary conditions.Since the generating function is computed off-line,the on-demand computational effort for different boundary conditions decreases a lot compared with the conventional method.It is useful to online optimal trajectory generation problems.Numerical examples illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed algorithm.
