Boundedness in a two species attraction-repulsion chemotaxis system with two chemicals

<p style='text-indent:20px;'>This paper deals with a class of attraction-repulsion chemotaxis systems in a smoothly bounded domain. When the system is parabolic-elliptic-parabolic-elliptic and the domain is <inline-formula><tex-math id="M1">\begin{document}$ n $\end{document}</tex-math></inline-formula>-dimensional, if the repulsion effect is strong enough then the solutions of the system are globally bounded. Meanwhile, when the system is fully parabolic and the domain is either one-dimensional or two-dimensional, the system also possesses a globally bounded classical solution.</p>

Pointwise estimates of the solution to one dimensional compressible Naiver-Stokes equations in half space

<p style='text-indent:20px;'>In this paper, we study the global existence and pointwise behavior of classical solution to one dimensional isentropic Navier-Stokes equations with mixed type boundary condition in half space. Based on classical energy method for half space problem, the global existence of classical solution is established firstly. Through analyzing the quantitative relationships of Green's function between Cauchy problem and initial boundary value problem, we observe that the leading part of Green's function for the initial boundary value problem is composed of three items: delta function, diffusive heat kernel, and reflected term from the boundary. Then applying Duhamel's principle yields the explicit expression of solution. With the help of accurate estimates for nonlinear wave coupling and the elliptic structure of velocity, the pointwise behavior of the solution is obtained under some appropriate assumptions on the initial data. Our results prove that the solution converges to the equilibrium state at the optimal decay rate <inline-formula><tex-math id="M1">\begin{document}$ (1+t)^{-\frac{1}{2}} $\end{document}</tex-math></inline-formula> in <inline-formula><tex-math id="M2">\begin{document}$ L^\infty $\end{document}</tex-math></inline-formula> norm.</p>

The classical solution of one problem of an absolutely inelastic impact on a long elastic semi-infinite bar

In this article, we study the classical solution of the mixed problem in a quarter of a plane for a one-dimensional wave equation. On the bottom boundary, the Cauchy conditions are specified, meanwhile, the second of them has a discontinuity of the first kind at one point. The smooth boundary condition, which has the first and the second order derivatives, is set at the side boundary. The solution is built using the method of characteristics in an explicit analytical form. The uniqueness is proved and the conditions are established under which a piecewise-smooth solution exists. The problem with matcing conditions is considered.

Аnalysis of methods of calculating road structures based by shear resistance in the soil

Introduction. Checking the soil of the subgrade and the layers of road pavement made of loosely cohesive materials by shear resistance is one of the three mandatory conditions for calculating road clothing according to strength criteria. The methodology for checking the soil of the subgrade and the sandy layers of the road pavement is constantly being modified, which is why changes concerning certain calculation details appear in each new version of the regulatory document. The purpose of this work is to analyze the advantages of the classical solution of A.M. Krivissky and to reveal the essence of the errors made in subsequent modifications of this calculation.Materials and methods. The analysis of solutions is carried out from the standpoint of compliance with the basics of mechanics. It is shown that the calculation of the total shear stress in the classical solution of A.M. Krivissky is performed in accordance with the principle of force superposition, which consists in calculating the components of the stress tensor from each force (time load and the own weight of the layer materials) separately, followed by summing the corresponding components. In this case, the active shear stresses from the temporary load and the own weight of the materials are calculated as the equivalent stress of the Mohr-Coulomb criterion. The calculation of these two components of the total shear stress is performed at the same value of the internal friction angle. Since the angle of inclination of the sliding surface to the main axes is determined by the sum or difference of 45 degrees and half of the internal friction angle, the tangential and normal stresses, which are components of the active shear stress, both from the temporary load and the own weight of the materials, are determined for the same shear surface rotated to the main axes at the same angle. In the current normative calculations, the active shear stresses from the temporary load and the own weight of the materials are determined at different angles of internal friction. This means that the active shear stresses from the temporary load and the own weight of the materials act on two different shear surface rotated to the main axes at different angles. Such stresses cannot be summed up or compared with each other. In addition to this error of the normative calculation methods, their other disadvantages are given.Results. As a result of a detailed analysis of the known modifications of the classical solution, obvious contradictions to the principles of continuum mechanics are established. As an alternative to modern calculation criteria for shear resistance, the article presents criteria for soil strength in which the shear stress exceeds the equivalent stress in the Mohr-Coulomb criterion. The principle of deducing formulas for calculating the first critical load and the total shear stress from the strength criteria under consideration is shown.Conclusion. Conclusions are drawn about the need to return to the classical solution obtained by specialists of the Leningrad School of the USSR, or to develop a fundamentally new solution based on a new plasticity condition in which the total shear stress exceeds the similar characteristic of the stress state of the original Mohr - Coulomb criterion.

Removing tadpoles in a soliton sector

It has long been known that perturbative calculations can be performed in a soliton sector of a quantum field theory by using a soliton Hamiltonian, which is constructed from the defining Hamiltonian by shifting the field by the classical soliton solution. It is also known that even if tadpoles are eliminated in the vacuum sector, they remain in the soliton sector. In this note we show, in the case of quantum kinks at two loops, that the soliton sector tadpoles may be removed by adding certain quantum corrections to the classical solution used in this construction. Stated differently, the renormalization condition that the soliton sector tadpoles vanish may be satisfied by renormalizing the soliton solution.

COMPARISON OF THE CLASSICAL SOLUTION TO SUBTRACTION EXERCISES AND THEIR SOLUTION WITH REPRESENTATIONS

<p>294 pupils aged 8-9 years were given subtraction problems. Initially the pupils managed to solve the exercises using the usual algorithm (a-b=c). Simultaneously they made a representation of their solutions using 4 shapes which had been pre-agreed by the pupils and their teacher. Not only were the results unsatisfactorily worked out, but they were lower than the (also) unsatisfactory solutions given in the students’ efforts to solve the problems in the classical way. A teaching configuration was then prepared. After this an overall improvement was discerned in the majority of pupils, in subtraction problems.</p><p> </p><p><strong> Article visualizations:</strong></p><p><img src="/-counters-/edu_01/0852/a.php" alt="Hit counter" /></p>
