On a Fractional in Time Nonlinear Schrödinger Equation with Dispersion Parameter and Absorption Coefficient

This paper is concerned with the nonexistence of global solutions to fractional in time nonlinear Schrödinger equations of the form i α ∂ t α ω ( t , z ) + a 1 ( t ) Δ ω ( t , z ) + i α a 2 ( t ) ω ( t , z ) = ξ | ω ( t , z ) | p , ( t , z ) ∈ ( 0 , ∞ ) × R N , where N ≥ 1 , ξ ∈ C \ { 0 } and p > 1 , under suitable initial data. To establish our nonexistence theorem, we adopt the Pohozaev nonlinear capacity method, and consider the combined effects of absorption and dispersion terms. Further, we discuss in details some special cases of coefficient functions a 1 , a 2 ∈ L l o c 1 ( [ 0 , ∞ ) , R ) , and provide two illustrative examples.

Bessenrodt-Stanley Polynomials and the Octahedron Recurrence

We show that a family of multivariate polynomials recently introduced by Bessenrodt and Stanley can be expressed as solution of the octahedron recurrence with suitable initial data. This leads to generalizations and explicit expressions as path or dimer partition functions.

On the blowup of solutions of a Schrödinger equation with an inhomogeneous damping coefficient

We consider the Cauchy problem for the nonlinear self-focusing Schrödinger equation in ℝNwith an inhomogeneous smooth damping coefficient and we prove, for suitable initial data, and in the spirit of the seminal work of R. Glassey, a blowup result for the corresponding local solutions. We also give some lower bound estimates for the blowing-up solutions.

Blowup of Solution for a Class of Doubly Nonlinear Parabolic Systems

An initial boundary value problem for a class of doubly parabolic equations is studied. We obtain sufficient conditions for the blowup of solutions under suitable initial data using differential inequalities.

Global existence and comparison theorem for a nonlinear parabolic equation

In this paper we consider a nonlinear parabolic equation with gradient dependent nonlinearities of the form0 < p, q and a, b ∈ ℝ, with homogeneous boundary condition in a bounded domain Ω ⊆ ℝ,N. In the case 0 < p, q ≤ 1 we prove the existence of solution for suitable initial data. A comparison theorem for the solutions with respect to supersoultions and subsolutions is proved. Using these result, uniqueness and boundedness of solutions is studied.

A Computational Design Method for Transonic Turbomachinery Cascades

This paper describes a systematical computational procedure to find configuration changes necessary to modify the resulting flow past turbomachinery cascades, channels and nozzles, to be shock-free at prescribed transonic operating conditions. The method is based on a finite area transonic analysis technique and the fictitious gas approach. This design scheme has two major areas of application. First, it can be used for design of supercritical cascades, with applications mainly in compressor blade design. Second, it provides subsonic inlet shapes including sonic surfaces with suitable initial data for the design of supersonic (accelerated) exits, like nozzles and turbine cascade shapes. This fast, accurate and economical method with a proven potential for applications to three-dimensional flows is illustrated by some design examples.
