We introduce a fractional stochastic heat equation with second-order elliptic operator in divergence form, having a piecewise constant diffusion coefficient, and driven by an infinite-dimensional fractional Brownian motion. We characterize the fundamental solution of its deterministic part, and prove the existence and the uniqueness of its solution.

In this paper, we study the [Formula: see text]-theory of the fractional time stochastic heat equation [Formula: see text] where [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text] denotes the Caputo derivative of order [Formula: see text], and [Formula: see text] is a sequence of i.i.d. fractional Brownian motions with a same Hurst index [Formula: see text]. The integral with respect to fractional Brownian motion is the Skorohod integral. By using the Malliavin calculus techniques and fractional calculus, we obtain a generalized Littlewood–Paley inequality, and prove the existence and uniqueness of [Formula: see text]-solution to such equation.

AbstractTime evolution of plane, cosmic-ray modified shocks has been simulated numerically for the case with parallel magnetic fields. Computations were done in a “three-fluid” dynamical model incorporating cosmic-ray and Alfvén-wave energy transport equations. Nonlinear feedback from the cosmic rays and Alfvén waves is included in the equation of motion for the underlying plasma, as is the finite propagation speed and energy dissipation of the Alfvén waves. Exploratory results confirm earlier, steady state analyses that found these Alfvén transport effects to be potentially important when the upstream Alfvén speed and gas sound speeds are comparable. As noted earlier, Alfvén transport effects tend to reduce the transfer of energy through a shock from gas to energetic particles. These studies show as well that the timescale for modification of the shock is altered in nonlinear ways. It is clear, however, that the consequences of Alfvén transport are strongly model dependent and that both advection of cosmic rays by the waves and dissipation of wave energy in the plasma will be important to model correctly when quantitative results are needed. Comparison is made between simulations based on a constant diffusion coefficient and more realistic diffusion models allowing the diffusion coefficient to vary in response to changes in Alfvén wave intensity. No really substantive differences were found between them.Subject headings: cosmic rays — MHD — shock waves

We analyze the accuracy of two numerical methods for the variable coefficient Poisson equation with discontinuities at an irregular interface. Solving the Poisson equation with discontinuities at an irregular interface is an essential part of solving many physical phenomena such as multiphase flows with and without phase change, in heat transfer, in electrokinetics, and in the modeling of biomolecules’ electrostatics. The first method, considered for the problem, is the widely known Ghost-Fluid Method (GFM) and the second method is the recently introduced Voronoi Interface Method (VIM). The VIM method uses Voronoi partitions near the interface to construct local configurations that enable the use of the Ghost-Fluid philosophy in one dimension. Both methods lead to symmetric positive definite linear systems. The Ghost-Fluid Method is generally first-order accurate, except in the case of both a constant discontinuity in the solution and a constant diffusion coefficient, while the Voronoi Interface Method is second-order accurate in the L∞-norm. Therefore, the Voronoi Interface Method generally outweighs the Ghost-Fluid Method except in special case of both a constant discontinuity in the solution and a constant diffusion coefficient, where the Ghost-Fluid Method performs better than the Voronoi Interface Method. The paper includes numerical examples displaying this fact clearly and its findings can be used to determine which approach to choose based on the properties of the real life problem in hand.

We study a homogeneous infinite dimensional Dirichlet problem in a half-space of a Hilbert space involving a second-order elliptic operator with Hölder continuous coefficients. Thanks to a new explicit formula for the solution in the constant coefficients case, we prove an optimal regularity result of Schauder type. The proof uses nonstandard techniques from semigroups and interpolation theory and involves extensive computations on Gaussian integrals.

A one dimensional finite difference diffusion model for simulating the Boost Diffusion Oxidation (BDO) process of titanium alloys is developed and implemented as a window-based program. The program can simulate the BDO process for both constant diffusion coefficient and concentration dependent diffusion coefficient. It is found that to accurately simulate the BDO process, the concentration dependence of oxygen diffusion has to be taken into account. If the concentration dependence is taken as the Shamblen and Redden’s equation, the simulation results agree well with the experimental results.
