On Existence of Entropy Solution for a Doubly Nonlinear Differential Equation with L1 -Data

We consider a class of doubly nonlinear history-dependent problems having a convection term and a pseudomonotone nonlinear diffusion operator associated an equation of the type ?t(k * (b(v) - b(v0))) - div(a(x,Dv) + F(v)) = f where the right hand side belongs to L1. The kernel k belongs to the large class of PC kernels. In particular, the case of fractional time derivatives of order α ∈ (0,1) is included. Assuming b nondecreasing with L1-data, we prove existence in the framework of entropy solutions. The approach adopted for the proof is based on a several step approximation method and by using a result in the case of a strictly increasing b.

EXISTENCE AND UNIQUENESS OF ENTROPY SOLUTION TO PRESSURELESS EULER SYSTEM WITH A FLOCKING DISSIPATION

We study the existence and uniqueness problem for the nonhomogeneous pressureless Euler system with the initial density being a Radon measure. Our uniqueness result is obtained in the same space as the existence theorem. Besides, by counterexample we prove that Huang-Wang’s energy condition is also necessary for our nonhomogeneous system.

Uniqueness of BV Entropy Solutions for Higher Dimensional Quasilinear Parabolic Equations with Arbitrary Degeneracy

We are concerned with the uniqueness of solutions of the Cauchy problemand a(s),b(s) are appropriately smooth.Since a(s) is allowed to have zero points, we call them points of degeneracy of (1), the equation (1) does not admit classical solutions in general. The solutions of (1) even might be discontinuous, whenever the set E = {s : a(s) = 0} includes interior points.Equations with degeneracy arise from a wide variety of diffusive processes in nature

EXISTENCE OF ENTROPY SOLUTIONS TO TWO-DIMENSIONAL STEADY EXOTHERMICALLY REACTING EULER EQUATIONS

We are concerned with the global existence of entropy solutions of the two-dimensional steady Euler equations for an ideal gas, which undergoes a one-step exothermic chemical reaction under the Arrhenius-type kinetics. The reaction rate function φ（T ） is assumed to have a positive lower bound. We first consider the Cauchy problem （the initial value problem）, that is, seek a supersonic downstream reacting flow when the incoming flow is supersonic, and establish the global existence of entropy solutions when the total variation of the initial data is sufficiently small. Then we analyze the problem of steady supersonic, exothermically reacting Euler flow past a Lipschitz wedge, generating an ad-ditional detonation wave attached to the wedge vertex, which can be then formulated as an initial-boundary value problem. We establish the global existence of entropy solutions containing the additional detonation wave （weak or strong, determined by the wedge angle at the wedge vertex） when the total variation of both the slope of the wedge boundary and the incoming flow is suitably small. The downstream asymptotic behavior of the global solutions is also obtained.

Global Weak Entropy Solution of Nonlinear Ideal Reaction Chromatography System and Applications

The ideal reaction chromatography model can be regarded as a semi-coupled system of two hyperbolic partial differential equations, in which, one is a self-closed nonlinear equation for the reactant concentration and another is a linear equation coupling the reactant concentration for the resultant concentration. This paper is concerned with the initial-boundary value problem for the above model. By the characteristic method and the truncation method, we construct the global weak entropy solution of this initial initial-boundary value problem for Riemann type of initial-boundary data. Moreover, as examples, we apply the obtained results to the cases of head-on and wide pulse injections and give the expression of the global weak entropy solution.

The second term belongs to L1 （QT）. The proof of an existence solution is based on the penalization methods.

In this paper the large time behavior of the global L∞ entropy solutions to the hyperbolic system with dissipative structure is investigated. It is proved that as t → ∞ the entropy solutions tend to a constant equilibrium state in L2 norm with exponential decay even when the initial values are arbitrarily large. As an illustration, a class of 2 × 2 system is studied.

The function g（x, u,▽u） is a non linear lower order term with natural growth with respect to ｜▽u｜ satisfying the sign condition, that is, g（x, u,▽u）u ≥ 0.

THE CARBUNCLE PHENOMENON IS INCURABLE

Numerical approximations of multi-dimensional shock waves sometimes ex- hibit an instability called the carbuncle phenomenon. Techniques for suppressing carbuncles are trial-and-error and lack in reliability and generality, partly because theoretical knowledge about carbuncles is equally unsatisfactory. It is not known which numerical schemes are affected in which circumstances, what causes carbuncles to appear and whether carbuncles are purely mimerical artifacts or rather features of a continuum equation or model. This article presents evidence towards the latter： we propose that carbuncles are a special class of entropy solutions which can be physically correct in some circumstances. Using ＂filaments＂, we trigger a single carbuncle in a new and more reliable way, and compute the structure in detail in similarity coordinates. We argue that carbuncles can, in some circumstances, be valid vanishing viscosity limits. Trying to suppress them is making a physical assumption that may be false.

The aim of this paper is to prove the well-posedness（existence and uniqueness） of the L p entropy solution to the homogeneous Dirichlet problems for the anisotropic degenerate parabolic-hyperbolic equations with L p initial value.We use the device of doubling variables and some technical analysis to prove the uniqueness result.Moreover we can prove that the L p entropy solution can be obtained as the limit of solutions of the corresponding regularized equations of nondegenerate parabolic type.

Effect of lattice distortion on solid solution strengthening of BCC high-entropy alloys

An analytical model is established to study the influence of lattice distortion and fraction of Hf on the yield strength of the BCC TiNbTaZrHfx multi-component high entropy alloys （HEAs）. Meanwhile, the mechanism of solid solution strengthening caused by lattice distortion is also discussed in the HEA. The distorted unit cell is introduced to indicate the lattice distortion effects induced by the differences of the atomic size and shear modulus by doping other elements in Ti-based metal. The results show that the calculated values of the alloying yield strength considering the path of least resistance are obtained with regard to various grain sizes for the equiatomic TiNbTaZrHf HEA, which is well in line with the experimental results. Furthermore, it is predicted that the alloying yield strength is the largest value in the case of the same grain size for the Hf atomic fraction of 0.122. The meaningful modeling could provide a theoretical method to investigate the yield strength and alloying design of other BCC HEAs in the future.

Generalized Persistence of Entropy Weak Solutions for System of Hyperbolic Conservation Laws

Let u(t,x)be the solution to the Cauchy problem of a scalar conservation law in one space dimension.It is well known that even for smooth initial data the solution can become discontinuous in finite time and global entropy weak solution can best lie in the space of bounded total variations.It is impossible that the solutions belong to,for example,H^(1) because by Sobolev embedding theorem H^(1) functions are Holder continuous.However,the author notes that from any point(t,x),he can draw a generalized characteristic downward which meets the initial axis at y=α(t,x).If he regards u as a function of(t,y),it indeed belongs to H^(1) as a function of y if the initial data belongs to H^(1).He may call this generalized persistence(of high regularity)of the entropy weak solutions.The main purpose of this paper is to prove some kinds of generalized persistence(of high regularity)for the scalar and 2×2 Temple system of hyperbolic conservation laws in one space dimension.

Construction of Solutions and L^1-error Estimates of Viscous Methods for Scalar Conservation Laws with Boundary

This paper is concerned with an initial boundary value problem for strictly convex conservation laws whose weak entropy solution is in the piecewise smooth solution class consisting of finitely many discontinuities. By the structure of the weak entropy solution of the corresponding initial value problem and the boundary entropy condition developed by Bardos-Leroux Nedelec, we give a construction method to the weak entropy solution of the initial boundary value problem. Compared with the initial value problem, the weak entropy solution of the initial boundary value problem includes the following new interaction type： an expansion wave collides with the boundary and the boundary reflects a new shock wave which is tangent to the boundary. According to the structure and some global estimates of the weak entropy solution, we derive the global L^1-error estimate for viscous methods to this initial boundary value problem by using the matching travelling wave solutions method. If the inviscid solution includes the interaction that an expansion wave collides with the boundary and the boundary reflects a new shock wave which is tangent to the boundary, or the inviscid solution includes some shock wave which is tangent to the boundary, then the error of the viscosity solution to the inviscid solution is bounded by O（ε^1/2） in L^1-norm; otherwise, as in the initial value problem, the L^1-error bound is O（ε｜ In ε｜）.
