Nondegenerate Soliton Solutions of(2+1)-Dimensional Multi-Component Maccari System

For a multi-component Maccari system with two spatial dimensions,nondegenerate one-soliton and two-soliton solutions are obtained with the bilinear method.It can be seen by drawing the spatial graphs of nondegenerate solitons that the real component of the system shows a cross-shaped structure,while the two solitons of the complex component show a multi-solitoff structure.At the same time,the asymptotic analysis of the interaction behavior of the two solitons is conducted,and it is found that under partially nondegenerate conditions,the real and complex components of the system experience elastic collision and inelastic collision,respectively.

Existence of Entropy Solution for Degenerate Parabolic-Hyperbolic Problem Involving p(x)-Laplacian with Neumann Boundary Condition

AN ALGEBRAIC APPROACH TO DEGENERATE APPELL POLYNOMIALS AND THEIR HYBRID FORMS VIA DETERMINANTS

It is remarkable that studying degenerate versions of polynomials from algebraic point of view is not limited to only special polynomials but can also be extended to their hybrid polynomials.Indeed for the first time,a closed determinant expression for the degenerate Appell polynomials is derived.The determinant forms for the degenerate Bernoulli and Euler polynomials are also investigated.A new class of the degenerate Hermite-Appell polynomials is investigated and some novel identities for these polynomials are established.The degenerate Hermite-Bernoulli and degenerate Hermite-Euler polynomials are considered as special cases of the degenerate Hermite-Appell polynomials.Further,by using Mathematica,we draw graphs of degenerate Hermite-Bernoulli polynomials for different values of indices.The zeros of these polynomials are also explored and their distribution is presented.

STRONG COMPACTNESS OF APPROXIMATE SOLUTIONS TO DEGENERATE ELLIPTIC-HYPERBOLIC EQUATIONS WITH DISCONTINUOUS FLUX FUNCTION

Under a non-degeneracy condition on the nonlinearities we show that sequences of approximate entropy solutions of mixed elliptic-hyperbolic equations are strongly precompact in the general case of a Caratheodory flux vector. The proofs are based on deriving localization principles for H-measures associated to sequences of measurevalued functions. This main result implies existence of solutions to degenerate parabolic convection-diffusion equations with discontinuous flux. Moreover, it provides a framework in which one can prove convergence of various types of approximate solutions, such as those generated by the vanishing viscosity method and numerical schemes.

Study of Degenerate Poly-Bernoulli Polynomials byλ-Umbral Calculus

Recently,degenerate poly-Bernoulli polynomials are defined in terms of degenerate polyexponential functions by Kim-Kim-Kwon-Lee.The aim of this paper is to further examine some properties of the degenerate poly-Bernoulli polynomials by using three formulas from the recently developed‘λ-umbral calculus.’In more detail,we represent the degenerate poly-Bernoulli polynomials by Carlitz Bernoulli polynomials and degenerate Stirling numbers of the first kind,by fully degenerate Bell polynomials and degenerate Stirling numbers of the first kind,and by higherorder degenerate Bernoulli polynomials and degenerate Stirling numbers of the second kind.

The Riemann problem for nonlinear degenerate wave equations

This paper studies the Riemann problem for a system of nonlinear degenerate wave equations in elasticity. Since the stress function is neither convex nor concave, the shock condition is degenerate. By introducing a degenerate shock under the generalized shock condition, the global solutions are constructively obtained case by case.

Global existence and blow up of a degenerate parabolic system

This paper deals with positive solutions of a degenerate parabolic system: u t= Δ u m+ v p ln α(h+u), v t= Δ v n+u q ln β(h+v) with homogeneous Dirichlet boundary conditions and positive initial conditions. This system describes the processes of diffusion of heat and burning in two component continuous media with nonlinear conductivity and volume energy release. We obtain the global existence and blow up results of the solution relying on comparison with carefully constructed upper solutions and lower solutions.

Cloning of Thymidine Kinase Gene of Duck Plague Virus Using Degenerate PCR

The DNA of duck plague virus （DPV） thymidine kinase （TK） gene was cloned and sequenced from a vaccine virus in the study. Degenerate oligonucleotide primers for the consensus site of herpesvirus UL24, TK, and glycoprotein H（gH） gene were used in the polymerase chain reaction （PCR） to amplify DNA product with 3 741-base-pairs （bp） in size. DNA sequence analysis revealed a 1 077-base-pairs （bp） open reading frame （ORF） encoding a 358 amino acid polypeptide homologous to herpesvirus TK proteins. The predicted TK protein shared 31.2, 41.3, 35.7, 37.4, and 28.4% identity with herpes simplex virus typel, equine herpesvirus type 4, Marek＇s disease virus 2, herpesvirus turkey, and infectious laryngotracheitis virus, respectively. Comparison of the amino acid sequences of other herpesvirus TK proteins showed that these proteins were not conserved on the whole, otherwise the portion of the TK proteins corresponding to the nucleotide binding domain and the nucleoside binding site were highly conserved among herpesvirus. Comparison with the amino acid sequences of the conserved nucleotide and nucleoside binding domains of other eleven herpesvirus TK proteins to the predicted DPV peptide confirmed its identity as the DPV TK protein.

The results depend crucially on the sign of the difference p2q1 - （l -p1）（m- q2）, the initial data, and the domain Ω.

THE BLOW-UP PROPERTIES FOR A DEGENERATE SEMILINEAR PARABOL IC EQUATION WITH NONL OCAL SOURCE

This paper deals with the blow up properties of the positive solutions to the nonlocal degenerate semilinear parabolic equation u t-(x αu x) x=∫ a 0f(u) d x in (0,a)×(0,T) under homogeneous Dirichlet conditions. The local existence and uniqueness of classical solution are established. Under appropriate hypotheses, the global existence and blow up in finite time of positive solutions are obtained. It is also proved that the blow up set is almost the whole domain. This differs from the local case. Furthermore, the blow up rate is precisely determined for the special case: f(u)=u p,p>1.

Modulation Instability and Non-Degenerate Akhmediev Breathers of Manakov Equations

We reveal a special subset of non-degenerate Akhmediev breather(AB)solutions of Manakov equations that only exist in the focusing case.Based on exact solutions,we present the existence diagram of such excitations on the frequency-wavenumber plane.Conventional single-frequency modulation instability leads to simultaneous excitation of three ABs with two of them being non-degenerate.

Boundary value problems for two types of degenerate elliptic systems in R^4

Firstly, the Riemann boundary value problem for a kind of degenerate elliptic sys- tem of the first order equations in R4 is proposed. Then, with the help of the one-to-one correspondence between the theory of Clifford valued generalized regular functions and that of the degenerate elliptic system＇s solution, the boundary value problem as stated above is trans- formed into a boundary value problem related to the generalized regular functions in Clifford analysis. Moreover, the solution of the Riemann boundary value problem for the degenerate elliptic system is explicitly described by using a kind of singular integral operator. Finally, the conditions for the existence of solutions of the oblique derivative problem for another kind of degenerate elliptic system of the first order equations in R4 are derived.

Recovery of a degenerated corticospinal tract after injury in a patient with intracerebral hemorrhage:confirmed by diffusion tensor tractography imaging

The corticospinal tract （CST） is a major neuronal tract of motor function in the human brain （York, 1987; Davidoff, 1990; Jang, 2014）. Recovery of an injured CST is one of the motor recovery mechanisms in stroke patients （Hendricks et al., 2003; Jang et al., 2006, 2007; Swayne et al., 2008; Kwon et al., 2011, 2013; Kwon and Jang, 2012; Yeo and Jang, 2013; Rong et al., 2014）. Diffusion tensor tractography （DTT）, derived from diffusion tensor imaging （DTI）, and transcra- nial magnetic stimulation （TMS） have been widely used in demonstrating the recovery of an injured CST （Hendricks et al., 2003; Jang et al., 2006, 2007; Swayne et al., 2008; Pannek et al., 2009; Kwon et al., 2011, 2013; Kwon and Jang, 2012; Yeo and Jang, 2013; Rong et al., 2014）. DTT has the advan- tage of enabling visualization of the architecture and integ- rity of the CST at the subcortical level in three dimensions （Mori et al., 1999; Kunimatsu et al., 2004）.
