SOME IMPROVED PROJECTED QUASI-NEWTON ALGORITHMS AND THEIR CONVERGENCE Ⅰ.METHODS AND GLOBAL BEHAVIOR

In this paper we improve the two versions of the two-sided projected quasi-Newton method-onewas proposed by Nocedal & Overton in [1] and the other was discussed in our previous paper, byintroducing three different merit functions to make inexact one-dimensional searches. It is shown that these improved quasi-Newton algorithms have gained global convergence propertywhich is not possessed by the original two algorithms.

GLOBAL EXISTENCE AND ASYMPTOTIC BEHAVIOR FOR THE 3D COMPRESSIBLE NON–ISENTROPIC EULER EQUATIONS WITH DAMPING

We investigate the global existence and asymptotic behavior of classical solutions for the 3D compressible non-isentropic damped Euler equations on a periodic domain. The global existence and uniqueness of classical solutions are obtained when the initial data is near an equilibrium. Furthermore, the exponential convergence rates of the pressure and velocity are also proved by delicate energy methods.

In this paper, we first establish the global existence and asymptotic behavior of solutions by multiplicative techniques, then further prove the existence of a uniform attractor for a thermoelastic system by using the method of uniform contractive functions. We finally investigate an alternative result of solutions for the semilinear thermoelastic systems by virtue of the semigroup method.

GLOBAL EXISTENCE AND LARGE TIME BEHAVIOR OF SOLUTION TO REACTING FLOW MODEL WITH BOUNDARY EFFECT

The initial boundary value problem (IBVP) for the 3×3 hyperbolic system of reacting flow with source term proposed by R.J.LeVeque and others (see [8]) is considered.It is shown, in the present paper, that if the initial data are a suitable perturbation of a shiftcd shock profile which is suitably away from the boundary, then there exists a unique smooth solution in R2+ to the IBVP of the 3×3 hyperbolic system, which tends to another shifted shock profile of this system as t →∞.

Global Existence and Large Time Asymptotic Behavior of Strong Solution to the Cauchy Problem of 2D Density-Dependent Boussinesq Equations of Korteweg Type

In this paper, we study the Cauchy problem of the density-dependent Boussinesq equations of Korteweg type on the whole space with a vacuum. It is proved that there exists a unique strong solution for the two-dimensional Cauchy problem established that the initial density and the initial temperature decay not extremely slow. Particularly, it is allowed to be arbitrarily large for the initial data and vacuum states for the initial density, even including the compact support. Moreover, when the density depends on the Korteweg term with the viscosity coefficient and capillary coefficient, we obtain a consistent priority estimate by the energy method, and extend the local strong solutions to the global strong solutions. Finally, when the pressure and external force are not affected, we deform the fluid models of Korteweg type, we can obtain the large time decay rates of the gradients of velocity, temperature and pressure.

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.

Parametric Study on the Behavior of An Innovative Subsurface Tension Leg Platform in Ultra-Deep Water

This study focuses on a new technology of Subsurface Tension Leg Platform （STLP）, which utilizes the shallow- water rated well completion equipment and technology for the development of large oil and gas fields in ultra-deep water （UDW）. Thus, the STLP concept offers attractive advantages over conventional field development concepts. STLP is basically a pre-installed Subsurface Sea-star Platform （SSP）, which supports rigid risers and shallow-water rated well completion equipment. The paper details the results of the parametric study on the behavior of STLP at a water depth of 3000 m. At first, a general description of the STLP configuration and working principle is introduced. Then, the numerical models for the global analysis of the STLP in waves and current are presented. After that, extensive parametric studies are carried out with regarding to SSP/tethers system analysis, global dynamic analysis and riser interference analysis. Critical points are addressed on the mooring pattern and riser arrangement under the influence of ocean current, to ensure that the requirements on SSP stability and riser interference are well satisfied. Finally, conclusions and discussions are made. The results indicate that STLP is a competitive well and riser solution in up to 3000 m water depth for offshore petroleum production.

Experimental study on hysteretic behavior of prestressed truss concrete composite beams

This paper describes an experimental study of the hysteretic behavior of prestressed truss concrete composite beams （PTCCBs） under cyclic loading. Five beam models were designed and tested, in which the testing parameters include the global reinforcement index β0, the prestress level 2 and the ratio of stirrup ρsv in the potential plastic hinge zones. Based on the test results, the failure mode and hysteretic behavior of the tested models are obtained. In addition, the P-△ and sectional M-φ hysteretic models for the PTCCBs at the midspan are established. The P-△ hysteretic model shows good agreement with the test results.

Seeker optimization algorithm:a novel stochastic search algorithm for global numerical optimization

A novel heuristic search algorithm called seeker op- timization algorithm （SOA） is proposed for the real-parameter optimization. The proposed SOA is based on simulating the act of human searching. In the SOA, search direction is based on empir- ical gradients by evaluating the response to the position changes, while step length is based on uncertainty reasoning by using a simple fuzzy rule. The effectiveness of the SOA is evaluated by using a challenging set of typically complex functions in compari- son to differential evolution （DE） and three modified particle swarm optimization （PSO） algorithms. The simulation results show that the performance of the SOA is superior or comparable to that of the other algorithms.

GLOBAL BLOW-UP FOR A HEAT SYSTEM WITH LOCALIZED SOURCES AND ABSORPTIONS

In this paper there are established the global existence and finite time blow-up results of nonnegative solution for the following parabolic system ut = △u ＋ v^P（x0, t） - au^τ, x ∈ Ω, t 〉 0, △u ＋ v^P（x0, t） - bu^τ, x ∈ Ω, t 〉 0 subject to homogeneous Dirichlet conditions and nonnegative initial data, where x0 ∈ Ω is a fixed point, p, q, r, s ≥ 1 and a, b 〉 0 are constants. In the situation when nonnegative solution （u, v） of the above problem blows up in finite time, it is showed that the blow-up is global and this differs from the local sources case. Moreover, for the special case r = s = 1, lim t→T＊（T＊-t）^p＋1/pq-1u（x,t）=（p＋1）^1/pq-1（q＋1）^p/pq-1（pq-1）^-p＋1/pq-1, lim t→T＊（T＊-t）^q＋1/pq-1u（x,t）=（p＋1）^1/pq-1（q＋1）^p/pq-1（pq-1）^-p＋1/pq-1 are obtained uniformly on compact subsets of/2, where T＊ is the blow-up time.
