GLOBAL CLASSICAL SOLUTIONS OF SEMILINEAR WAVE EQUATIONS ON R^(3)×T WITH CUBIC NONLINEARITIES

In this paper,we establish global classical solutions of semilinear wave equations with small compact supported initial data posed on the product space R^(3)×T.The semilinear nonlinearity is assumed to be of the cubic form.The main ingredient here is the establishment of the L^(2)-L^(∞)decay estimates and the energy estimates for the linear problem,which are adapted to the wave equation on the product space.The proof is based on the Fourier mode decomposition of the solution with respect to the periodic direction,the scaling technique,and the combination of the decay estimates and the energy estimates.

THE EXISTENCE AND UNIQUENESS OF TIME-PERIODIC SOLUTIONS TO THE NON-ISOTHERMAL MODEL FOR COMPRESSIBLE NEMATIC LIQUID CRYSTALS IN A PERIODIC DOMAIN

In this paper,we are concerned with a three-dimensional non-isothermal model for the compressible nematic liquid crystal flows in a periodic domain.Under some smallness and structural assumptions imposed on the time-periodic force,we establish the existence of the time-periodic solutions to the system by using a regularized approximation scheme and the topological degree theory.We also prove a uniqueness result via energy estimates.

Improved Artificial Bee Colony Algorithm for Continuous Optimization Problems

The artificial bee colony (ABC) algorithm is a swarm-based metaheuristic optimization technique, developed by inspiring foraging and dance behaviors of honey bee colonies. ABC consists of four phases named as initialization, employed bee, onlooker bee and scout bee. The employed bees try to improve their solution in employed bees phase. If an employed bee cannot improve self-solution in a certain time, it becomes a scout bee. This alteration is done in the scout bee phase. The onlooker bee phase is placed where information sharing is done. Although a candidate solution improved by onlookers is chosen among the employed bee population according to fitness values of the employed bees, neighbor of candidate solution is randomly selected. In this paper, we propose a selection mechanism for neighborhood of the candidate solutions in the onlooker bee phase. The proposed selection mechanism was based on information shared by the employed bees. Average fitness value obtained by the employed bees is calculated and those better than the aver- age fitness value are written to memory board. Therefore, the onlooker bees select a neighbor from the memory board. In this paper, the proposed ABC-based method called as iABC were applied to both five numerical benchmark functions and an estimation of energy demand problem. Obtained results for the problems show that iABC is better than the basic ABC in terms of solution quality.

The following nonlinear hyperbolic equation is discussed in this paper:where A= -? + Iandx∈Rn. The model comes from the transverse deflection equation of an extensible beam. We prove that there exists a unique local solution of the above equation as M depends on x.

GLOBAL SOLUTIONS TO A HYPERBOLIC-PARABOLIC COUPLED SYSTEM WITH LARGE INITIAL DATA

This paper is concerned with the existence of global solutions to the Cauchy problem of a hyperbolic-parabolic coupled system with large initial data. To this end, we first construct its local solutions by the standard iteration technique, then we deduce the basic energy estimate by constructing a convex entropy-entropy flux pair to this system. Moreover, the L∞-estimates and H^2-estimates of solutions are obtained through some delicate estimates. In our results, we do not ask the far fields of the initial data to be equal and the initial data can be arbitrarily large which generalize the result obtained in [7].

The present paper investigates the asymptotic behavior of solutions for a class of second order inhomogeneous quasilinear equations on a three dimensional semiinfinite cylinder. A Phragmen-Lindelof type alternative is obtained, i.e., it is shown that in appropriate norms solutions of the equations either grow or decay as some spatial variable tends to infinity.

THE NONLINEAR STABILITY OF TRAVELLING WAVE SOLUTIONS FOR A REACTING FLOW MODEL WITH SOURCE TERM

In this paper, author considers a 3 x 3 system for a reacting flow model propesed by [9]. Since this model has source term, it can be considered as a relaxation approximation to 2 x 2 systems of conservation laws, which include the well-known p-system. From this viewpoint, the author establishes the global existence and the nonlinear stability of travelling wave solutions by L-2 energy method.

CONVERGENCE RATE OF SOLUTIONS TO STRONG CONTACT DISCONTINUITY FOR THE ONE-DIMENSIONAL COMPRESSIBLE RADIATION HYDRODYNAMICS MODEL

This paper is concerned with a singular limit for the one-dimensional compress- ible radiation hydrodynamics model. The singular limit we consider corresponds to the physical problem of letting the Bouguer number infinite while keeping the Boltzmann number constant. In the case when the corresponding Euler system admits a contact discontinuity wave, Wang and Xie （2011） [12] recently verified this singular limit and proved that the solution of the compressible radiation hydrodynamics model converges to the strong contact 1 discontinuity wave in the L∞-norm away from the discontinuity line at a rate of ε1/4, as the reciprocal of the Bouguer number tends to zero. In this paper, Wang and Xie＇s convergence rate is improved to ε7/8 by introducing a new a priori assumption and some refined energy estimates. Moreover, it is shown that the radiation flux q tends to zero in the L∞-norm away from the discontinuity line, at a convergence rate as the reciprocal of the Bouguer number tends to zero.

ASYMPTOTIC STABILITY OF TRAVELING WAVES FOR A DISSIPATIVE NONLINEAR EVOLUTION SYSTEM

Contributions to Hom-Schunck optical flow equations-part I： Stability and rate of convergence of classical algorithm

Globally exponential stability （which implies convergence and uniqueness） of their classical iterative algorithm is established using methods of heat equations and energy integral after embedding the discrete iteration into a continuous flow. The stability condition depends explicitly on smoothness of the image sequence, size of image domain, value of the regularization parameter, and finally discretization step. Specifically, as the discretization step approaches to zero, stability holds unconditionally. The analysis also clarifies relations among the iterative algorithm, the original variation formulation and the PDE system. The proper regularity of solution and natural images is briefly surveyed and discussed. Experimental results validate the theoretical claims both on convergence and exponential stability.

SMALL DATA SOLUTIONS OF 2-D QUASILINEAR WAVE EQUATIONS UNDER NULL CONDITIONS

For the 2-D quasilinear wave equation （δt2-△x）u＋2∑i,j=0gij（δu）δiju=0 satisfying null condition or both null conditions, a blowup or global existence result has been shown by Alinhac. In this paper, we consider a more general 2-D quasilinear wave equation （δt2-△x）u＋2∑i,j=0gij（δu）δiju=0 satisfying null conditions with small initial data and the coefficients depending simultaneously on u and δu. Through construction of an approximate solution, combined with weighted energy integral method, a quasi-global or global existence solution are established by continuous induction.

NONLINEAR STABILITY OF PLANAR SHOCK PROFILES FOR THE GENERALIZED KdV-BURGERS EQUATION IN SEVERAL DIMENSIONS

This paper is concerned with the nonlinear stability of planar shock profiles to the Cauchy problem of the generalized KdV-Burgers equation in two dimensions. Our analysis is based on the energy method developed by Goodman [5] for the nonlinear stability of scalar viscous shock profiles to scalar viscous conservation laws and some new decay estimates on the planar shock profiles of the generalized KdV-Burgers equation.

CONVERGENCE FROM THE TWO-SPECIES VLASOV-POISSON-BOLTZMANN SYSTEM TO THE TWO-FLUID INCOMPRESSIBLE NAVIER-STOKES-FOURIER-POISSON SYSTEM WITH OHM'S LAW

In this paper,we justify the convergence from the two-species Vlasov-PoissonBoltzmann(VPB,for short)system to the two-fluid incompressible Navier-Stokes-FourierPoisson(NSFP,for short)system with Ohm’s law in the context of classical solutions.We prove the uniform estimates with respect to the Knudsen numberεfor the solutions to the two-species VPB system near equilibrium by treating the strong interspecies interactions.Consequently,we prove the convergence to the two-fluid incompressible NSFP asεgoes to 0.

ASYMPTOTIC BEHAVIOR OF GLOBAL SMOOTH SOLUTIONS FOR BIPOLAR COMPRESSIBLE NAVIER-STOKES-MAXWELL SYSTEM FROM PLASMAS

This paper is concerned with the bipolar compressible Navier-Stokes-Maxwell system for plasmas. We investigated, by means of the techniques of symmetrizer and elaborate energy method, the Cauchy problem in R^3. Under the assumption that the initial values are close to a equilibrium solutions, we prove that the smooth solutions of this problem converge to a steady state as the time goes to the infinity. It is shown that the difference of densities of two carriers converge to the equilibrium states with the norm ｜｜·｜｜H^s-1, while the velocities and the electromagnetic fields converge to the equilibrium states with weaker norms than ｜｜·｜｜H^s-1. This phenomenon on the charge transport shows the essential difference between the unipolar Navier-Stokes-Maxwell and the bipolar Navier-Stokes-Maxwell system.

THE GLOBAL COMBINED QUASI-NEUTRAL AND ZERO-ELECTRON-MASS LIMIT OF NON-ISENTROPIC EULER-POISSON SYSTEMS

We consider a non-isentropic Euler-Poisson system with two small parameters arising in the modeling of unmagnetized plasmas and semiconductors.On the basis of the energy estimates and the compactness theorem,the uniform global existence of the solutions and the combined quasi-neutral and zero-electron-mass limit of the system are proved when the initial data are close to the constant equilibrium state.In particular,the limit is rigorously justified as the two parameters tend to zero independently.

IMPROVEMENT ON STABILITY AND CONVERGENCE OF A. D. I. SCHEMES

Alternating direction implicit (A.D.I.) schemes have been proved valuable in the approximation of the solutions of parabolic partial differential equations in multi-dimensional space. Consider equations in the form partial derivative u/partial derivative t - partial derivative/partial derivative x(a(x,y,t) partial derivative u/partial derivative x) - partial derivative/partial derivative y(b(x,y,t) partial derivative u partial derivative y) = f Two A.D.I. schemes, Peaceman-Rachford scheme and Douglas scheme will be studied. In the literature, stability and convergence have been analysed with Fourier Method, which cannot be extended beyond the model problem with constant coefficients. Additionally, L-2 energy method has been introduced to analyse the case of non-constant coefficients, however, the conclusions are too weak and incomplete because of the so-called 'equivalence between L-2 norm and H-1 semi-norm'. In this paper, we try to improve these conclusions by H-1 energy estimating method. The principal results are that both of the two A.D.I. schemes are absolutely stable and converge to the exact solution with error estimations O(Delta t(2) + h(2)) in discrete H-1 norm. This implies essential improvement of existing conclusions.

Our proof is based on a combination of the energy method and the contraction mapping theorem.
