Conservative Vector Fields and the Intersect Rule

This paper covers the concept of a conservative vector field, and its application in vector physics and Newtonian mechanics. Conservative vector fields are defined as the gradient of a scalar-valued potential function. Gradient fields are irrotational, as in the curl in all conservative vector fields is zero, by Clairaut’s Theorem. Additionally, line integrals in conservative vector fields are path-independent, and line integrals over closed paths are always equal to zero, properties proved by the Gradient Theorem of multivariable calculus. Gradient fields represent conservative forces, and the associated potential function is analogous to potential energy associated with said conservative forces. The Intersect Rule provides a new, unique shortcut for determining if a vector field is conservative and deriving potential functions, by treating the indefinite integral as a set of infinitely many functions which satisfy the integral.

Hybrid gradient vector fields for path-following guidance

Guidance path-planning and following are two core technologies used for controlling un-manned aerial vehicles(UAVs)in both military and civilian applications.However,only a few approaches treat both the technologies simultaneously.In this study,an innovative hybrid gradient vector fields for path-following guidance(HGVFs-PFG)algorithm is proposed to control fixed-wing UAVs to follow a generated guidance path and oriented target curves in three-dimensional space,which can be any combination of straight lines,arcs,and helixes as motion primitives.The algorithm aids the creation of vector fields(VFs)for these motion primitives as well as the design of an effective switching strategy to ensure that only one VF is activated at any time to ensure that the complex paths are followed completely.The strategies designed in earlier studies have flaws that prevent the UAV from following arcs that make its turning angle too large.The proposed switching strategy solves this problem by introducing the concept of the virtual way-points.Finally,the performance of the HGVFs-PFG algorithm is verified using a reducedorder autopilot and four representative simulation scenarios.The simulation considers the constraints of the aircraft,and its results indicate that the algorithm performs well in following both lateral and longitudinal control,particularly for curved paths.In general,the proposed technical method is practical and competitive.

EMBEDDING THEOREMS ON CAMPANATO-MORREY SPACES FOR VECTOR FIELDS OF HoRMANDER TYPE

This paper deals with embedding theorems on Campanato-Marrey spaces formed by degenerate vector fields, which include Honnander and Grushin type of vector fields. These embedding theorems are somewhat different from the known Poincare estimates. The main ingredients of the proofs rely on the fractional maximal functions. These results evidently have applications to the regularity of subelliptic PDE.

In this paper, the authors investigate the invariant cones of quadratic homoge- neous polynomial vector fields in three variables. Necessary and sufficient conditions for the existence of non-isolated invariant closed cones are obtained by the algebraic expressions in terms of the coefficients of certain quadratic homogeneous polynomials.

THE VECTOR FIELDS ADMITTING ONE-PARAMETER SPATIAL SYMMETRY GROUP AND THEIR REDUCTION

For a n-dimensional vector fields preserving some n-form, the following conclusion is reached by the method of Lie group. That is, if it admits an one-parameter, n-form preserving symmetry group, a transformation independent of the vector field is constructed explicitly, which can reduce not only dimesion of the vector field by one, but also make the reduced vector field preserve the corresponding ( n - 1)-form. In partic ular, while n = 3, an important result can be directly got which is given by Me,ie and Wiggins in 1994.

Projective vector fields on Finsler manifolds

In this paper, we give the equation that characterizes projective vector fields on a Finsler manifold by the local coordinate. Moreover, we obtain a feature of the projective fields on the compact Finsler manifold with non-positive flag curvature and the non-existence of projective vector fields on the compact Finsler manifold with negative flag curvature. Furthermore, we deduce some expectable, but non-trivial relationships between geometric vector fields such as projective, affine, conformal, homothetic and Killing vector fields on a Finsler manifold.

It is concluded that spacial analytic homlogencous vector tleld of order in has no limit sets for any m>1. Similar results arc extended to highel-dimensional polynomial homogeneous vector fields under certain conditions.

Poincaré and Sobolev Inequalities for Vector Fields Satisfying Hrmander's Condition in Variable Exponent Sobolev Spaces

In this paper, we will establish Poincare inequalities in variable exponent non-isotropic Sobolev spaces. The crucial part is that we prove the boundedness of the fractional integral operator on variable exponent Lebesgue spaces on spaces of homogeneous type. We obtain the first order Poincare inequalities for vector fields satisfying Hormander＇s condition in variable non-isotropic Sobolev spaces. We also set up the higher order Poincare inequalities with variable exponents on stratified Lie groups. Moreover, we get the Sobolev inequalities in variable exponent Sobolev spaces on whole stratified Lie groups. These inequalities are important and basic tools in studying nonlinear subelliptic PDEs with variable exponents such as the p（x）-subLaplacian. Our results are only stated and proved for vector fields satisfying Hormander＇s condition, but they also hold for Grushin vector fields as well with obvious modifications.

Liouvillian and Analytic Integrability of the Quadratic Vector Fields Having an Invariant Ellipse

We characterize the Liouvillian and analytic integrability of the quadratic polynomial vector fields in R2 having an invariant ellipse.More precisely,a quadratic system having an invariant ellipse can be written into the form x=x2＋y2-1＋y（ax＋by＋c）,y=x（ax＋by＋c）,and the ellipse becomes x2＋y2=1.We prove that（i） this quadratic system is analytic integrable if and only if a=0;（ii） if x2＋y2=1 is a periodic orbit,then this quadratic system is Liouvillian integrable if and only if x2＋y2=1 is not a limit cycle;and（iii） if x2＋y2=1 is not a periodic orbit,then this quadratic system is Liouvilian integrable if and only if a=0.

On the Index of Finite Determinacy of Vector Fields with Resonances

In this paper we study normal forms for a class of germs of 1-resonant vector fields on R^n with mutually different eigenvalues which may admit extraneous resonance relations. We give an estimation on the index of finite determinacy from above as well as the essentially simplified polynomial normal forms for such vector fields. In the case that a vector field has a zero eigenvalue, the result leads to an interesting corollary, a linear dependence of the derivatives of the hyperbolic variables on the central variable.

In this paper, we are concerned with the following three types of nonlinear degenerate parabolic equations with time-dependent singular potentials： uq/ t=▽α·（‖z‖^-pγ｜▽αu｜^p-2▽αu）＋V（z, t）u^p-1, uq/ t=▽α·（‖z‖^-2γ▽αu^m）＋V（z, t）u^m, uq/ t=u^μ▽α·（u^τ｜▽αu｜^p-2▽αu）＋V（z, t）u^p-1＋μ＋τin a cylinder Ω×（0, T） with initial condition u（z, 0）=u0（z） ≥ 0 and vanishing on the boundary Ω×（0, T）, where Ω is a Carnot-Carathéodory metric ball in Rd＋k and the time-dependent singular potential function is V（z, t） ∈ L^1loc （Ω×（0, T））. We investigate the nonexistence of positive solutions of these three problems and present our results on nonexistence.

The purpose of this paper is to investigate the nonexistence of positive so lutions of the following doubly nonlinear degenerate parabolic equations:{∂u=▽k·(u^(m-1)|▽ku|^(p-2)▽ku)+(w)u^(m+p-2),u(w,0)=u0(w)≥0,u(w,t)=0,inΩ×(0,T),inΩ,on∂Ω×(0,T),where Q is a Carnot-Carathéodory metric bal in IR^(2n+1)generated by Greiner vector fields,V∈L_(loc)(Ω),k∈N,m∈R,1<p<2n+2k and m+p-2>0.The better lower bound p*for m+p is found and the nonexistence results are proved for p*≤m+p<3.

A Nash Type Result for Divergence Parabolic Equation Related to Hörmander's Vector Fields

In this paper we consider the divergence parabolic equation with bounded and measurable coefficients related to Hörmander's vector fields and establish a Nash type result,i.e.,the local Hölder regularity for weak solutions.After deriving the parabolic Sobolev inequality,(1,1)type Poincaré inequality of Hörmander's vector fields and a De Giorgi type Lemma,the Hölder regularity of weak solutions to the equation is proved based on the estimates of oscillations of solutions and the isomorphism between parabolic Campanato space and parabolic Hölder space.As a consequence,we give the Harnack inequality of weak solutions by showing an extension property of positivity for functions in the De Giorgi class.

Classification of static spherically symmetric perfect fluid space-times via conformal vector fields in f(T)gravity

In this paper,we classify static spherically symmetric(SS)perfect fluid space-times via conformal vector fields(CVFs)in f(T)gravity.For this analysis,we first explore static SS solutions by solving the Einstein field equations in f(T)gravity.Secondly,we implement a direct integration technique to classify the resulting solutions.During the classification,there arose 20 cases.Studying each case thoroughly,we came to know that in three cases the space-times under consideration admit proper CVFs in f(T)gravity.In one case,the space-time admits proper homothetic vector fields,whereas in the remaining 16 cases either the space-times become conformally flat or they admit Killing vector fields.
