Abstract: Abstract It is well known that in the case of constant dielectric permittivity and magnetic permeability, the electric field solving the Maxwell’s equations is also a solution to the wave equation. The converse is also true under certain conditions. Here we study an intermediate situation in which the magnetic permeability is constant and a region with variable dielectric permittivity is surrounded by a region with a constant one, in which the unknown field satisfies the wave equation. In this case, such a field will be the solution of Maxwell’s equation in the whole domain, as long as proper conditions are prescribed on its boundary. We show that an explicit finite-element scheme can be used to solve the resulting Maxwell-wave equation coupling problem in an inexpensive and reliable way. Optimal convergence in natural norms under reasonable assumptions holds for such a scheme, which is certified by numerical exemplification. PubDate: 2023-02-01

Abstract: Abstract This article deals with the low Mach number limit of the compressible Euler-Korteweg equations. It is justified rigorously that solutions of the compressible Euler-Korteweg equations converge to those of the incompressible Euler equations as the Mach number tends to zero. Furthermore, the desired convergence rates are also obtained. PubDate: 2023-02-01

Abstract: Abstract In this paper, a generalized Motsch-Tadmor model with piecewise interaction functions and fixed processing delays is investigated. According to functional differential equation theory and correlation properties of the stochastic matrix, we obtained sufficient conditions for the system achieving flocking, including an upper bound of the time delay parameter. When the parameter is less than the upper bound, the system achieves asymptotic flocking under appropriate assumptions. PubDate: 2023-02-01

Abstract: Abstract This article deals with the solvability of the boundary-value problem for the Navier-Stokes equations with a direction-dependent Navier type slip boundary condition in a bounded domain. Such problems arise when steady flows of fluids in domains with rough boundaries are approximated as flows in domains with smooth boundaries. It is proved by means of the Galerkin method that the boundary-value problem has a unique weak solution when the body force and the variability of the surface friction are sufficiently small compared to the viscosity and the surface friction.

Abstract: Abstract Many problems in operations research, management science, and engineering fields lead to the solution of absolute value equations. In this study, we propose two new iteration methods for solving absolute value equations Ax — x = b, where A ∈ ℝn×n is an M-matrix or strictly diagonally dominant matrix, b ∈ ℝn and x ∈ ℝn is an unknown solution vector. Furthermore, we discuss the convergence of the proposed two methods under suitable assumptions. Numerical experiments are given to verify the feasibility, robustness and effectiveness of our methods.

Abstract: Abstract The spatial behavior of solutions is studied in the model of Forchheimer equations. Using the energy estimate method and the differential inequality technology, exponential decay bounds for solutions are derived. To make the decay bounds explicit, we obtain the upper bound for the total energy. We also extend the study of spatial behavior of Forchheimer porous material in a saturated porous medium.

Abstract: Abstract The present paper deals with the numerical solution of 3D shape optimization problems in frictional contact mechanics. Mathematical modelling of the Coulomb friction problem leads to an implicit variational inequality which can be written as a fixed point problem. Furthermore, it is known that the discretized problem is uniquely solvable for small coefficients of friction. Since the considered problem is nonsmooth, we exploit the generalized Mordukhovich’s differential calculus to compute the needed subgradient information. The state problem is solved using successive approximations combined with the Total FETI (TFETI) method. The latter is based on tearing the bodies into “floating” subdomains, discretization by finite elements, and solving the resulting quadratic programming problem by augmented Lagrangians. The presented numerical experiments demonstrate our method’s power and the importance of the proper modelling of 3D frictional contact problems. The state problem solution and the sensitivity analysis process were implemented in parallel. PubDate: 2022-12-06

Abstract: Abstract Computational modelling of contact problems is still one of the most difficult aspects of non-linear analysis in engineering mechanics. The article introduces an original efficient explicit algorithm for evaluation of impacts of bodies, satisfying the conservation of both momentum and energy exactly. The algorithm is described in its linearized 2-dimensional formulation in details, as open to numerous generalizations including 3-dimensional ones, and supplied by numerical examples obtained from its software implementation.

Abstract: Abstract We study linear stability of solutions to the Navier-Stokes equations with stochastic viscosity. Specifically, we assume that the viscosity is given in the form of a stochastic expansion. Stability analysis requires a solution of the steady-state Navier-Stokes equation and then leads to a generalized eigenvalue problem, from which we wish to characterize the real part of the rightmost eigenvalue. While this can be achieved by Monte Carlo simulation, due to its computational cost we study three surrogates based on generalized polynomial chaos, Gaussian process regression and a shallow neural network. The results of linear stability analysis assessment obtained by the surrogates are compared to that of Monte Carlo simulation using a set of numerical experiments.

Abstract: Abstract This paper introduces the application of asynchronous iterations theory within the framework of the primal Schur domain decomposition method. A suitable relaxation scheme is designed, whose asynchronous convergence is established under classical spectral radius conditions. For the usual case where local Schur complement matrices are not constructed, suitable splittings based only on explicitly generated matrices are provided. Numerical experiments are conducted on a supercomputer for both Poisson’s and linear elasticity problems. The asynchronous Schur solver outperformed the classical conjugate-gradient-based one in case of computing node failures. PubDate: 2022-12-01 DOI: 10.21136/AM.2022.0146-21

Abstract: Abstract We develop and test a relatively simple enhancement of the classical model reduction method applied to a class of chemical networks with mass conservation properties. Both the methods, being (i) the standard quasi-steady-state approximation method, and (ii) the novel so-called delayed quasi-steady-state approximation method, firstly proposed by Vejchodský (2014), are extensively presented. Both theoretical and numerical issues related to the setting of delays are discussed. Namely, for one slightly modified variant of an enzyme-substrate reaction network (Michaelis-Menten kinetics), the comparison of the full non-reduced system behavior with respective variants of reduced model is presented and the results discussed. Finally, some future prospects related to further applications of the delayed quasi-steady-state approximation method are proposed. PubDate: 2022-12-01 DOI: 10.21136/AM.2022.0136-21

Abstract: Abstract The paper deals with the issue of self-organization in applied sciences. It is particularly related to the emergence of Turing patterns. The goal is to analyze the domain size driven instability: We introduce the parameter L, which scales the size of the domain. We investigate a particular reaction-diffusion model in 1-D for two species. We consider and analyze the steady-state solution. We want to compute the solution branches by numerical continuation. The model in question has certain symmetries. We define and classify them. Our goal is to calculate a global bifurcation diagram. PubDate: 2022-12-01 DOI: 10.21136/AM.2022.0126-21

Abstract: Abstract In this paper, we deal with the optimal choice of the parameter γ for augmented Lagrangian preconditioning of GMRES method for efficient solution of linear systems obtained from discretization of the incompressible Navier-Stokes equations. We consider discretization of the equations using the B-spline based isogeometric analysis approach. We are interested in the dependence of the convergence on the parameter γ for various problem parameters (Reynolds number, mesh refinement) and especially for various isogeometric discretizations (degree and interelement continuity of the B-spline discretization bases). The idea is to be able to determine the optimal value of γ for a problem that is relatively cheap to compute and, based on this value, predict suitable values for other problems, e.g., with finer mesh, different discretization, etc. The influence of inner solvers (direct or iterative based on multigrid method) is also discussed.

Abstract: Abstract We first consider the finite time stability of second order linear differential systems with pure delay via giving a number of properties of delayed matrix functions. We secondly give sufficient and necessary conditions to examine that a linear delay system is relatively controllable. Further, we apply the fixed-point theorem to derive a relatively controllable result for a semilinear system. Finally, some examples are presented to illustrate the validity of the main theorems.

Abstract: Abstract The dynamical behaviour of a continuous time recurrent neural network model with a special weight matrix is studied. The network contains several identical excitatory neurons and a single inhibitory one. This special construction enables us to reduce the dimension of the system and then fully characterize the local and global codimension-one bifurcations. It is shown that besides saddle-node and Andronov-Hopf bifurcations, homoclinic and cycle fold bifurcations may occur. These bifurcation curves divide the plane of weight parameters into nine domains. The phase portraits belonging to these domains are also characterized. PubDate: 2022-11-18

Abstract: Abstract The problem of utilizing facet reflections to bring a point outside of a convex polytope to inside has not been studied explicitly in the literature. Here we introduce two algorithms that complete the task in finite iterations. The first algorithm generates multiple solutions on the plane, and can be readily utilized in creating games on a plane or as a level generation method for video games. The second algorithm is a new efficient way to bring infeasible starting points of an optimization problem to inside a feasible region defined by constraints. Using simulations, we demonstrate many desirable properties of the algorithm. Specifically, more edges do not lead to more iterations in ℝ2, the algorithm is extremely efficient in high dimensions, and it can be employed to discretize the feasibility region using a grid of points outside the region.

Abstract: Abstract This paper is concerned with a Cauchy problem for the three-dimensional (3D) nonhomogeneous incompressible heat conducting magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) equations in the whole space. First of all, we establish a weak Serrin-type blowup criterion for strong solutions. It is shown that for the Cauchy problem of the 3D nonhomogeneous heat conducting MHD equations, the strong solution exists globally if the velocity satisfies the weak Serrin’s condition. In particular, this criterion is independent of the absolute temperature and magnetic field. Then as an immediate application, we prove the global existence and uniqueness of strong solution to the 3D nonhomogeneous heat conducting MHD equations under a smallness condition on the initial data. In addition, the initial vacuum is allowed. PubDate: 2022-10-27

Abstract: Abstract In this paper, we propose a new stabilization technique for numerical simulation of incompressible turbulent flow by solving Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes equations closed by the SST k-ω turbulence model. The stabilization scheme is constructed such that it is consistent in the sense used in the finite element method, artificial diffusion is added only in the direction of convection and it is based on a purely nonlinear approach. We present numerical results obtained by our in-house incompressible fluid flow solver based on isogeometric analysis (IgA) for the benchmark problem of a wall bounded turbulent fluid flow simulation over a backward-facing step. Pressure coefficient and reattachment length are compared to experimental data acquired by Driver and Seegmiller, to the computational results obtained by open source software OpenFOAM and to the NASA numerical results.
