Periodic conjugate direction algorithm for symmetric periodic solutions of general coupled periodic matrix equations

Analysis and design of linear periodic control systems are closely related to the periodic matrix equations. The conjugate direction (CD) method is a famous iterative algorithm to find the solution to nonsymmetric linear systems $Ax=b$. In this work, a new method based on the CD method is proposed for computing the symmetric periodic solutions $(X_1,X_2,\dots ,X_{\lambda })$ and $(Y_1,Y_2,\dots ,Y_{\lambda })$ of general coupled periodic matrix equations

for $i=1,2,\dots ,\lambda$. The key idea of the scheme is to extend the CD method by means of Kronecker product and vectorization operator. In order to assess the convergence properties of the method, some theoretical results are given. Finally two numerical examples are included to illustrate the efficiency and effectiveness of the method.     

A new approach toward stabilization in a two-species chemotaxis model with logistic source

This paper aims at providing an alternative approach to study global dynamic properties for a two-species chemotaxis model, with the main novelty being that both populations mutually compete with the other on account of the Lotka–Volterra dynamics. More precisely, we consider the following Neumann initial–boundary value problem

in a bounded domain $\Omega ?{\mathbb{R}}^n,n\ge 1$, with smooth boundary, where $d_1,d_2,d_3,{\chi }_1,{\chi }_2,{\mu }_1,{\mu }_2,a_1,a_2$ are positive constants.When $a_1\in (0,1)$ and $a_2\in (0,1)$, it is shown that under some explicit largeness assumptions on the logistic growth coefficients ${\mu }_1$ and ${\mu }_2$, the corresponding Neumann initial–boundary value problem possesses a unique global bounded solution which moreover approaches a unique positive homogeneous steady state $(u^1,v^1,w^1)$ of above system in the large time limit. The respective decay rate of this convergence is shown to be exponential.When $a_1\ge 1$ and $a_2\in (0,1)$, if ${\mu }_2$ is suitable large, for all sufficiently regular nonnegative initial data $u_0$ and $v_0$ with $u_0?0$ and $v_0?0$, the globally bounded solution of above system will stabilize toward $(0,1,1)$ as $t\to \infty$ in algebraic.     

Suslin’s algorithms for reduction of unimodular rows

A well-known lemma of Suslin says that for a commutative ring $A$ if $(v_1\left(X\right),\dots ,v_n\left(X\right))\in {\left(A\left[X\right]\right)}^n$ is unimodular where $v_1$ is monic and $n\ge 3$, then there exist ${\gamma }_1,\dots ,{\gamma }_{\ell }\in E_{n-1}\left(A\left[X\right]\right)$ such that the ideal generated by $\mathrm{Res}(v_1,e_1.{\gamma }_1{}^t(v_2,\dots ,v_n)),\dots ,\mathrm{Res}(v_1,e_1.{\gamma }_{\ell }{}^t(v_2,\dots ,v_n))$ equals $A$. This lemma played a central role in the resolution of Serre’s Conjecture. In the case where $A$ contains a set $E$ of cardinality greater than $deg{v}_1+1$ such that $y-y^{\prime }$ is invertible for each $y\ne y^{\prime }$ in $E$, we prove that the ${\gamma }_i$ can simply correspond to the elementary operations $L_1\to L_1+y_i{\sum }_{j=2}^{n-1}{u}_{j+1}{L}_j$, $1\le i\le \ell =deg{v}_1+1$, where $u_1{v}_1+\cdots +u_n{v}_n=1$. These efficient elementary operations enable us to give new and simple algorithms for reducing unimodular rows with entries in $K[X_1,\dots ,X_k]$ to ${}^t(1,0,\dots ,0)$ using elementary operations in the case where $K$ is an infinite field. Another feature of this paper is that it shows that the concrete local–global principles can produce competitive complexity bounds.     

Finite time blow-up for a class of parabolic or pseudo-parabolic equations

In this paper, we study the initial boundary value problem for a class of parabolic or pseudo-parabolic equations:

$u_t?a\Delta u_t?\Delta u+bu=k\left(t\right)|u{|}^{p?2}u,(x,t)\in \Omega \times (0,T),$

where $a\ge 0$, $b>?{?}_1$ with ${?}_1$ being the principal eigenvalue for $?\Delta$ on $H_0^1\left(\Omega \right)$ and $k\left(t\right)>0$. By using the potential well method, Levine’s concavity method and some differential inequality techniques, we obtain the finite time blow-up results provided that the initial energy satisfies three conditions: (i) $J(u_0;0)<0$; (ii) $J(u_0;0)\le d\left(\infty \right)$, where $d\left(\infty \right)$ is a nonnegative constant; (iii) $0<J(u_0;0)\le C\rho \left(0\right)$, where $\rho \left(0\right)$ involves the $L^2$-norm or $H_0^1$-norm of the initial data. We also establish the lower and upper bounds for the blow-up time. In particular, we obtain the existence of certain solutions blowing up in finite time with initial data at the Nehari manifold or at arbitrary energy level.     

Global existence of three-dimensional incompressible magneto-micropolar system with mixed partial dissipation,magnetic diffusion and angular viscosity

The magneto-micropolar fluid flows describe the motion of electrically conducting micropolar fluids in the presence of a magnetic field. The issue of whether the strong solution of magneto-micropolar equations in three-dimensional can exist globally in time with large initial data is still unknown. In this paper, we deal with the Cauchy problem of the three-dimensional magneto-micropolar system with mixed partial dissipation, magnetic diffusion and angular viscosity. More precisely, the global existence of smooth solutions to the three-dimensional incompressible magneto-micropolar fluid equations with mixed partial dissipation, magnetic diffusion and angular viscosity are obtained by energy method under the assumption that $H^1$-norm of the initial data $(u_0,b_0,w_0)$ sufficiently small, namely $6u_0,b_0,{\omega }_0{6}_{H^1\left({\mathbb{R}}^3\right)}^2\le \frac{\epsilon }{2}$, where $\epsilon$ is a sufficiently small positive number. This work follows the techniques in the paper of Cao and Wu (2011).     

Global bifurcation of positive radial solutions for an elliptic system in reactor dynamics

In this paper, we are concerned with the existence of positive radial solutions of the elliptic system $\{\begin{array}{c}?\Delta u=uv?\lambda u+f(\left|x\right|,u)\text{,}{R}_1<\left|x\right|<R_2\text{,}x\in {\mathbb{R}}^N,N\ge 1\text{,}\hfill \\ ?\Delta v=\mu u\text{,}{R}_1<\left|x\right|<R_2\text{,}x\in {\mathbb{R}}^N,N\ge 1\text{,}\hfill \\ u=v=0\text{,}\text{on }\left|x\right|=R_1\text{ and }\left|x\right|=R_2\text{,}\hfill \end{array}$ where $\left|x\right|={\left({\sum }_{i=1}^N{x}_i^2\right)}^{\frac{1}{2}}$, $\lambda >0$ is a constant, $\mu >0$ is a parameter and $0<R_1<R_2<\infty$, $f:[R_1,R_2]\times [0,\infty )\to [0,\infty )$ is continuous and $f(t,s)>0$ for all $(t,s)\in [R_1,R_2]\times (0,\infty )$. Under some appropriate conditions on the nonlinearity $f$, we show that the above system possesses at least one positive radial solution for any $\mu \in (0,\infty )$. The proof of our main results is based upon bifurcation techniques.
