THE BLOW-UP PROPERLIES OF SOLUTIONS TO SEMILINEAR HEAT EQUATIONS WITH NEUMANN BOUNDARY CONDITIONS

This paper deals with the blow-up properties of solutions to semilinear heat equation ut-uxx= up in (0, 1) × (0, T) with the Neumann boundary condition ux(0, t) = 0, u:x1, t) = 1 on [0, T). The necessary and sufficient conditions under which all solutions to have a finite time blow-up and the exact blow-up rates are established. It is proved that the blow-up will occur only at the boundary x = 1. The asymptotic behavior near the blow-up time is also studied.

An extended iterative direct-forcing immersed boundary method in thermo-fluid problems with Dirichlet or Neumann boundary conditions

An iterative direct-forcing immersed boundary method is extended and used to solve convection heat transfer problems.The pressure,momentum source,and heat source at immersed boundary points are calculated simultaneously to achieve the best coupling.Solutions of convection heat transfer problems with both Dirichlet and Neumann boundary conditions are presented.Two approaches for the implementation of Neumann boundary condition,i.e.direct and indirect methods,are introduced and compared in terms of accuracy and computational efficiency.Validation test cases include forced convection on a heated cylinder in an unbounded flow field and mixed convection around a circular body in a lid-driven cavity.Furthermore,the proposed method is applied to study the mixed convection around a heated rotating cylinder in a square enclosure with both iso-heat flux and iso-thermal boundary conditions.Computational results show that the order of accuracy of the indirect method is less than the direct method.However,the indirect method takes less computational time both in terms of the implementation of the boundary condition and the post processing time required to compute the heat transfer variables such as the Nusselt number.It is concluded that the iterative direct-forcing immersed boundary method is a powerful technique for the solution of convection heat transfer problems with stationary/moving boundaries and various boundary conditions.

Neumann Boundary Conditions Inhibiting SSB in Coleman-Weinberg Mechanism

In this work we show that homogeneous Neumann boundary conditions inhibit the Coleman-Weinberg mechanism for spontaneous symmetry breaking in the scalar electrodynamics if the length of the finite region is small enough （a = e2Mφ-1, where M, is the mass of the scalar field generated by the Coleman-Weinberg mechanism）.

An extension result for the Landau-Lifshitz equation with Neumann boundary condition

We establish an extension result of existence and partial regularity for the nonzero Neumann initial-boundary value problem of the Landau-Lifshitz equation with nonpositive anisotropy constants in three or four dimension space. The partial regularity is proved up to the boundary and this result is an important supplement to those for the Dirichlet problem or the homogeneous Neumann problem.

A Lattice Boltzmann Method for the Advection-Diffusion Equation with Neumann Boundary Conditions

In this paper,we study a lattice Boltzmann method for the advectiondiffusion equation with Neumann boundary conditions on general boundaries.A novel mass conservative scheme is introduced for implementing such boundary conditions,and is analyzed both theoretically and numerically.Second order convergence is predicted by the theoretical analysis,and numerical investigations show that the convergence is at or close to the predicted rate.The numerical investigations include time-dependent problems and a steady-state diffusion problem for computation of effective diffusion coefficients.

ON THE SINGULAR ONE DIMENSIONAL P-LAPLACIAN-LIKE EQUATION WITH NEUMANN BOUNDARY CONDITIONS

In this paper, the solvability of singular one dimensional p-Laplacian-like equation with Neumann boundary conditions is considered. Under certain conditions on the operator and the nonlinear term which allows singularity, the sufficient and necessary condition for the existence of the solution to the problem is obtained. The main method is based on a-priori estimate for the lower bound of solutions, truncation arguments and the Schauder's fixed point theorem.

Finding the Time-dependent Term in 2D Heat Equation from Nonlocal Integral Conditions

The aim of this paper is to find the time-dependent term numerically in a two-dimensional heat equation using initial and Neumann boundary conditions and nonlocal integrals as over-determination conditions.This is a very interesting and challenging nonlinear inverse coefficient problem with important applications in various fields ranging from radioactive decay,melting or cooling processes,electronic chips,acoustics and geophysics to medicine.Unique solvability theo-rems of these inverse problems are supplied.However,since the problems are still ill-posed(a small modification in the input data can lead to bigger impact on the ultimate result in the output solution)the solution needs to be regularized.Therefore,in order to obtain a stable solution,a regularized objective function is minimized in order to retrieve the unknown coefficient.The two-dimensional inverse problem is discretized using the forward time central space(FTCS)finite-difference method(FDM),which is conditionally stable and recast as a non-linear least-squares minimization of the Tikhonov regularization function.Numerically,this is effectively solved using the MATLAB subroutine lsqnonlin.Both exact and noisy data are inverted.Numerical results for a few benchmark test examples are presented,discussed and assessed with respect to the FTCS-FDM mesh size discretisation,the level of noise with which the input data is contaminated,and the choice of the regularization parameter is discussed based on the trial and error technique.

NONLINEAR COMPLEX DYNAMIC PHENOMENA OF THE PERTURBED METALLIC BAR CONSIDERING DISSIPATING EFFECT

Considering Peierls-Nabarro effect, one-dimensional finite metallic bar subjected with periodic field was researched under Neumann boundary condition. Dynamics of this system was described with displacement by perturbed sine-Gordon type equation. Finite difference scheme with fourth-order central differences in space and second-order central differences in time was used to simulate dynamic responses of this system. For the metallic bar with specified sizes and physical features, effect of amplitude of external driving on dynamic behavior of the bar was investigated under initial “breather” condition. Four kinds of typical dynamic behaviors are shown: x-independent simple harmonic motion; harmonic motion with single wave; quasi-periodic motion with single wave; temporal chaotic motion with single spatial mode. Poincaré map and power spectrum are used to determine dynamic features.

Numerical Study of Quantized Vortex Interaction in theGinzburg-Landau Equation on Bounded Domains

In this paper,we study numerically quantized vortex dynamics and their interaction in the two-dimensional(2D)Ginzburg-Landau equation(GLE)with a dimensionless parameter#>0 on bounded domains under either Dirichlet or homogeneous Neumann boundary condition.We begin with a reviewof the reduced dynamical laws for time evolution of quantized vortex centers in GLE and show how to solve these nonlinear ordinary differential equations numerically.Then we present efficient and accurate numerical methods for discretizing the GLE on either a rectangular or a disk domain under either Dirichlet or homogeneous Neumann boundary condition.Based on these efficient and accurate numerical methods for GLE and the reduced dynamical laws,we simulate quantized vortex interaction of GLE with different#and under different initial setups including single vortex,vortex pair,vortex dipole and vortex lattice,compare them with those obtained from the corresponding reduced dynamical laws,and identify the cases where the reduced dynamical laws agree qualitatively and/or quantitatively as well as fail to agree with those from GLE on vortex interaction.Finally,we also obtain numerically different patterns of the steady states for quantized vortex lattices under the GLE dynamics on bounded domains.

From geometry to non-geometry via T-duality

Reconsideration of the T-duality of the open string allows us to introduce some geometric features in non-geometric theories.First,we have found what symmetry is T-dual to the local gauge transformations.It includes transformations of background fields but does not include transformations of the coordinates.According to this we have introduced a new,up to now missing term,with additional gauge field Ai^D（D denotes components with Dirichlet boundary conditions）.It compensates non-fulfilment of the invariance under such transformations on the end-points of an open string,and the standard gauge field AaN（N denotes components with Neumann boundary conditions）compensates non-fulfilment of the gauge invariance.Using a generalized procedure we will perform T-duality of vector fields linear in coordinates.We show that gauge fields AaNand AiDare T-dual to ADaand AN^irespectively.We introduce the field strength of T-dual non-geometric theories as derivatives of T-dual gauge fields along both T-dual variable yμand its double？yμ.This definition allows us to obtain gauge transformation of non-geometric theories which leaves the T-dual field strength invariant.Therefore,we introduce some new features of non-geometric theories where field strength has both antisymmetric and symmetric parts.This allows us to define new kinds of truly non-geometric theories.

Catenoidal Layers for the Allen-Cahn Equation in Bounded Domains

This paper presents a new family of solutions to the singularly perturbed Allen-Cahn equation α~2Δu + u(1- u^2) = 0 in a smooth bounded domain Ω R^3, with Neumann boundary condition and α > 0 a small parameter. These solutions have the property that as α→ 0, their level sets collapse onto a bounded portion of a complete embedded minimal surface with finite total curvature intersecting ?Ω orthogonally and that is non-degenerate respect to ?Ω. The authors provide explicit examples of surfaces to which the result applies.

Numerical Solution of Partial Differential Equations in Arbitrary Shaped Domains Using Cartesian Cut-Stencil Finite Difference Method.Part II:Higher-Order Schemes

Compact higher-order(HO)schemes for a new finite difference method,referred to as the Cartesian cut-stencil FD method,for the numerical solution of the convection-diffusion equation in complex shaped domains have been addressed in this paper.The Cartesian cut-stencil FD method,which employs 1-D quadratic transformation functions to map a non-uniform(uncut or cut)physical stencil to a uniform computational stencil,can be combined with compact HO Pad´e-Hermitian formulations to produce HO cut-stencil schemes.The modified partial differential equation technique is used to develop formulas for the local truncation error for the cut-stencil HO formulations.The effect of various HO approximations for Neumann boundary conditions on the solution accuracy and global order of convergence are discussed.The numerical results for second-order and compact HO formulations of the Cartesian cut-stencil FD method have been compared for test problems using the method of manufactured solutions.
