Loss Of Regularity

The full linear theory for hinged beams with intermediate piers is developed. The analysis starts with the variational setting and the study of the linear stationary problem. Well-posedness results are provided and the possible loss of regularity, due to the presence of the piers, is analyzed. A complete spectral theorem is then proved, explicitly determining the eigenvalues according to the position of the piers and exhibiting the fundamental modes of oscillation. A related second-order eigenvalue problem is also studied, showing that it may display nonsmooth eigenfunctions and that the fourth-order problem cannot be seen as the square of a second-order problem.

Loss Of Regularity

We consider the loss of regularity of the solution to the backward Cauchy problem for a second order strictly hyperbolic equation on the time interval $[0,T]$ with time depending coefficients which have a singularity only at the end point $t=0$. The main purpose of this paper is to show that the loss of regularity of the solution on the Gevrey scale can be described by the order of differentiability of the coefficients on $(0,T]$, the order of singularities of each derivatives as $t\to0$ and a stabilization condition of the amplitude of oscillations described by an integral on $(0,T)$. Moreover, we prove the optimality of the conditions for $C^\infty$ coefficients on $(0,T]$ by constructing a counterexample.

The paper deals with numerical methods for eigenvalue problem for the second order ordinary differential operator with variable coefficient subject to nonlocal integral condition. FD-method (functional-discrete method) is derived and analyzed for calculating of eigenvalues, particulary complex eigenvalues. The convergence of FD-method is proved. Finally numerical procedures are suggested and computational results are schown.

Special Case

AbstractThe onset of thermal convection in two-dimensional porous cavities heated from below is studied theoretically. An open (constant-pressure) boundary is assumed, with zero perturbation temperature (thermally conducting). The resulting eigenvalue problem is a full fourth-order problem without degeneracies. Numerical results are presented for rectangular and elliptical cavities, with the circle as a special case. The analytical solution for an upright rectangle confirms the numerical results. Streamlines penetrating the open cavities are plotted, together with the isotherms for the associated closed thermal cells. Isobars forming pressure cells are depicted for the perturbation pressure. The critical Rayleigh number is calculated as a function of geometric parameters, including the tilt angle of the rectangle and ellipse. An improved physical scaling of the Darcy–Bénard problem is suggested. Its significance is indicated by the ratio of maximal vertical velocity to maximal temperature perturbation.

Bounded Smooth

We continue to study the nonlinear fourth-order problem TΔu – DΔ2u = λ/(L + u)2, –L < u < 0 in Ω, u = 0, Δu = 0 on ∂Ω, where Ω ⊂ ℝN is a bounded smooth domain and λ > 0 is a parameter. When N = 2 and Ω is a convex domain, we know that there is λc > 0 such that for λ ∊ (0, λc) the problem possesses at least two regular solutions. We will see that the convexity assumption on Ω can be removed, i.e. the main results are still true for a general bounded smooth domain Ω. The main technique in the proofs of this paper is the blow-up argument, and the main difficulty is the analysis of touch-down behaviour.

Positive Eigenfunction

In this paper we consider a second-order linear nonlocal elliptic operator on a bounded domain in ℝn (n ≧ 3), and give conditions which ensure that this operator has a positive inverse. This generalises results of Allegretto and Barabanova, where the kernel of the nonlocal operator was taken to be separable. In particular, our results apply to the case where this kernel is the Green's function associated with second-order uniformly elliptic operators, and thus include the case of some linear elliptic systems. We give several other examples. For a specific case which appears when studying the linearisation of nonlocal parabolic equations around stationary solutions, we also consider the associated eigenvalue problem and give conditions which ensure the existence of a positive eigenfunction associated with the smallest real eigenvalue.

Drift Forces

The paper presents an investigation of the slowly varying second order drift forces on a floating body of simple geometry. The body is axis-symmetric about the vertical axis, like a vertical cylinder with a rounded bottom and a ratio of diameter to draft of 3.25. The hydrodynamic problem is solved with a second order boundary element method. The second order problem is due to interactions between pairs of incident harmonic waves with different frequencies, therefore the calculations are carried out for several difference frequencies with the mean frequency covering the whole frequency range of interest. Results include the surge drift force and pitch drift moment. The results are presented in several stages in order to assess the influence of different phenomena contributing to the global second order responses. Firstly the body is restrained and secondly it is free to move at the wave frequency. The second order results include the contribution associated with quadratic products of first order quantities, the total second order force, and the contribution associated to the free surface forcing.
