AbstractThe object of this paper is to investigate the influence of the initial values on the behaviour of the one-dimensional unsteady isentropic motion of a perfect gas, and in particular the occurrence of singularities. For this purpose it is expedient to develop an unfolding procedure in the theory of partial differential equations of hyperbolic type. This not only resolves a difficulty in the classical treatment of the initial value problem associated with this type of equation, but also simplifies the presentation.The geometrical properties of the singularities (branch and limit lines, edges of regression, etc.) occurring in two-dimensional steady flow have been well discussed already, and their counterparts in one-dimensional unsteady motion have been indicated by Stocker and Meyer(5). However, here a method for finding the explicit analytic connexion between the occurrence of such singularities and the prescribed initial conditions is developed.Assuming quite general initial conditions, two examples are considered. In the first, a conjecture of Riemann is verified; in the second a special type of periodic solution is discussed, and it is shown that this solution cannot be continued to all values of t > 0. Finally, this latter result is shown to be true for arbitrary periodic initial conditions.

This paper solves a class of one-dimensional, dynamic elastoplasticity problems for equations which describe the longitudinal motion of a rod. The initial conditions U(x, 0) are continuous and piecewise linear, the derivative ∂U/∂x(x, 0) having just one jump at x = 0. Both the equations and the initial data are invariant under the scaling Ũ(x, t) = α−1U(αx, αt), where α > 0; hence the term scale-invariant. Both in underlying motivation and in solution, this problem is highly analogous to the Riemann problem from gas dynamics. These ideas are applied to the Sandler–Rubin example of non-unique solutions in dynamic plasticity with a nonassociative flow rule. We introduce an entropy condition that re-establishes uniqueness, but we also exhibit problems regarding existence.

Previously derived shock solutions for a perfectly conducting perfect gas are used to compute shock polars for the one-dimensional unsteady and two- dimensional non-aligned shock representations. A new special-case shock solution, having a downstream particle velocity relative to the shock equal to upstream Alfvén velocity, is obtained, in addition to exhaustive analytical classification schemes for the shock polars. Eight classes of one-dimensional polars and twelve classes of two-dimensional polars are identified.

ABSTRACTThe object of this paper is to discuss the one-dimensional unsteady adiabatic motion of a gas which is initially at rest with a prescribed density distribution such that the specific entropy is uniform. The contour integral methods which Copson developed recently for even analytic functions are extended to apply to general analytic initial conditions. The solution is valid in the range 1 < Υ > 3, where y is the adiabatic index of the gas. Of particular interest, in view of the hydraulic analogy, is the case Υ = 2 for which real variable methods cannot readily be adapted. The motion of the front of a water column Sowing into a dry, horizontal stream bed is discussed. A curious type of solution, corresponding to a particular choice of initial distribution, which was established by Pack for a, countable sequence of values of Υ, is verified to hold over the whole range and is interpreted in terms of the dam-break problem.

In this paper we investigate the linear stability of detonations in which the underlying steady one-dimensional solutions are of the pathological type. Such detonations travel at a minimum speed, which is greater than the Chapman–Jouguet (CJ) speed, have an internal frozen sonic point at which the thermicity vanishes, and the unsupported wave is supersonic (i.e. weak) after the sonic point. Pathological detonations are possible when there are endothermic or dissipative effects present in the system. We consider a system with two consecutive irreversible reactions A→B→C, with an Arrhenius form of the reaction rates and the second reaction endothermic. We determine analytical asymptotic solutions valid near the sonic pathological point for both the one-dimensional steady equations and the equations for linearized perturbations. These are used as initial conditions for integrating the equations. We show that, apart from the existence of stable modes, the linear stability of the pathological detonation is qualitatively the same as for CJ detonations for both one- and two-dimensional disturbances. We also consider the stability of overdriven detonations for the system. We show that the frequency of oscillation for one-dimensional disturbances, and the cell size based on the wavenumber with the highest group velocity for two-dimensional disturbances, are both very sensitive to the detonation speed for overdriven detonations near the pathological speed. This dependence on the degree of overdrive is quite different from that obtained when the unsupported detonation is of the CJ type.

This chapter develops a Euclidean, two-dimensional, regions-based theory. As with the semi-Aristotelian account in Chapter 2, the goal here is to recover the now orthodox Dedekind–Cantor continuum on a point-free basis. The chapter derives the Archimedean property for a class of readily postulated orientations of certain special regions, what are called “generalized quadrilaterals” (intended as parallelograms), by which the entire space is covered. Then the chapter generalizes this to arbitrary orientations, and then establishes an isomorphism between the space and the usual point-based one. As in the one-dimensional case, this is done on the basis of axioms which contain no explicit “extremal clause”, and we have no axiom of induction other than ordinary numerical (mathematical) induction.

This paper presents two algorithms for mutual exclusion on optical bus architectures including the folded one-dimensional bus, the one-dimensional array with pipelined buses (1D APPB), and the two-dimensional array with pipelined buses (2D APPB). The first algorithm guarantees mutual exclusion, while the second guarantees both mutual exclusion and fairness. Both algorithms exploit the predictability of propagation delays in optical buses.

A first-order differential equation of Green's function, at the origin G(0), for the one-dimensional lattice is derived by simple recurrence relation. Green's function at site (m) is then calculated in terms of G(0). A simple recurrence relation connecting the lattice Green's function at the site (m, n) and the first derivative of the lattice Green's function at the site (m ± 1, n) is presented for the two-dimensional lattice, a differential equation of second order in G(0, 0) is obtained. By making use of the latter recurrence relation, lattice Green's function at an arbitrary site is obtained in closed form. Finally, the phase shift and scattering cross-section are evaluated analytically and numerically for one- and two-impurities.
