OPTIMAL CONTROL OF A POPULATION DYNAMICS MODEL WITH HYSTERESIS

This paper addresses a nonlinear partial differential control system arising in population dynamics.The system consist of three diffusion equations describing the evolutions of three biological species:prey,predator,and food for the prey or vegetation.The equation for the food density incorporates a hysteresis operator of generalized stop type accounting for underlying hysteresis effects occurring in the dynamical process.We study the problem of minimization of a given integral cost functional over solutions of the above system.The set-valued mapping defining the control constraint is state-dependent and its values are nonconvex as is the cost integrand as a function of the control variable.Some relaxationtype results for the minimization problem are obtained and the existence of a nearly optimal solution is established.

Dynamics of traveling wave solutions to a highly nonlinear Fujimoto–Watanabe equation

In this work, we apply the bifurcation method of dynamical systems to investigate the underlying complex dynamics of traveling wave solutions to a highly nonlinear Fujimoto–Watanabe equation. We identify all bifurcation conditions and phase portraits of the system in different regions of the three-dimensional parametric space, from which we present the sufficient conditions to guarantee the existence of traveling wave solutions including solitary wave solutions, periodic wave solutions, kink-like(antikink-like) wave solutions, and compactons. Furthermore, we obtain their exact expressions and simulations, which can help us understand the underlying physical behaviors of traveling wave solutions to the equation.

ON THE HEAT FLOW OF EQUATION OF H-SURFACE

We study the heat flow of equation of H-surface with non-zero Dirichlet boundary in the present article. Introducing the "stable set" M2 and "unstable set" M1, we show that there exists a unique global solution provided the initial data belong to M2 and the global solution converges to zero in H^1 exponentially as time goes to infinity. Moreover, we also prove that the local regular solution must blow up at finite time provided the initial data belong to M1.

GLOBAL STRONG SOLUTION AND EXPONENTIAL DECAY OF 3D NONHOMOGENEOUS ASYMMETRIC FLUID EQUATIONS WITH VACUUM

We prove the global existence and exponential decay of strong solutions to the three-dimensional nonhomogeneous asymmetric fluid equations with nonnegative density provided that the initial total energy is suitably small.Note that although the system degenerates near vacuum,there is no need to require compatibility conditions for the initial data via time-weighted techniques.

Second order conformal multi-symplectic method for the damped Korteweg–de Vries equation

A conformal multi-symplectic method has been proposed for the damped Korteweg–de Vries(DKdV) equation, which is based on the conformal multi-symplectic structure. By using the Strang-splitting method and the Preissmann box scheme,we obtain a conformal multi-symplectic scheme for multi-symplectic partial differential equations(PDEs) with added dissipation. Applying it to the DKdV equation, we construct a conformal multi-symplectic algorithm for it, which is of second order accuracy in time. Numerical experiments demonstrate that the proposed method not only preserves the dissipation rate of mass exactly with periodic boundary conditions, but also has excellent long-time numerical behavior.

A POSTERIORI ERROR ESTIMATES FOR A MODIFIED WEAK GALERKIN FINITE ELEMENT APPROXIMATION OF SECOND ORDER ELLIPTIC PROBLEMS WITH DG NORM

In this paper,we derive a residual based a posteriori error estimator for a modified weak Galerkin formulation of second order elliptic problems.We prove that the error estimator used for interior penalty discontinuous Galerkin methods still gives both upper and lower bounds for the modified weak Galerkin method,though they have essentially different bilinear forms.More precisely,we prove its reliability and efficiency for the actual error measured in the standard DG norm.We further provide an improved a priori error estimate under minimal regularity assumptions on the exact solution.Numerical results are presented to verify the theoretical analysis.

BIFURCATION ANALYSIS OF A CLASS OF PLANAR PIECEWISE SMOOTH LINEAR-QUADRATIC SYSTEM

In this paper,we consider a planar piecewise smooth differential system consisting of a linear system and a quadratic Hamiltonian system.The quadratic system has some folds on the discontinuity line.The linear system may have a focus,saddle or node.Our results show that this piecewise smooth differential system will have two limit cycles and a sliding cycle.Moreover,this piecewise smooth system will undergo pseudo-homoclinic bifurcation,Hopf bifurcation and critical crossing bifurcation CC.Some examples are given to illustrate our results.

Combining symplectic algorithm,splitting technique and compact method,a compact splitting symplectic scheme is proposed to solve the fourth-order dispersive Schr¨odinger equation with cubic-quintic nonlinear term.The scheme has fourth-order accuracy in space and second-order accuracy in time.The discrete charge conservation law and stability of the scheme are analyzed.Numerical examples are given to confirm the theoretical results.
