Smooth And Peaked Solitons Of The Camassa-Holm Equation And Applications, Darryl Holm, Rossen Ivanov

Articles

The relations between smooth and peaked soliton solutions are reviewed for the Camassa- Holm (CH) shallow water wave equation in one spatial dimension. The canonical Hamiltonian formulation of the CH equation in action-angle variables is expressed for solitons by using the scattering data for its associated isospectral eigenvalue problem, rephrased as a Riemann- Hilbert problem. The momentum map from the action-angle scattering variables T^∗(T^N) to the flow momentum (X^∗) provides the Eulerian representation of the N-soliton solution of CH in terms of the scattering data and squared eigenfunctions of its isospectral eigenvalue problem. The …

On Temporal Instability Of Electrically Forced Axisymmetric Jets With Variable Applied Field And Nonzero Basic State Velocity, Dambaru Bhatta, Sayantan Das, Daniel N. Riahi

Applications and Applied Mathematics: An International Journal (AAM)

The problem of instability of electrically forced axisymmetric jets with respect to temporally growing disturbances is investigated computationally. We derive a dispersion relation based on the relevant approximated versions of the equations of the electro-hydrodynamics for an electrically forced jet flow. For temporal instability, we find in the realistic cases of the non-zero basic state velocity that the growth rate of the unstable mode is unaffected by the value of the basic state velocity. However, the non-zero value of the basic state velocity affects significantly the period of the unstable mode in the sense that it decreases the period, and …

Analytic And Numerical Studies Of A Simple Model Of Attractive-Repulsive Swarms, Andrew S. Ronan

HMC Senior Theses

We study the equilibrium solutions of an integrodifferential equation used to model one-dimensional biological swarms. We assume that the motion of the swarm is governed by pairwise interactions, or a convolution in the continuous setting, and derive a continuous model from conservation laws. The steady-state solution found for the model is compactly supported and is shown to be an attractive equilibrium solution via linear perturbation theory. Numerical simulations support that the steady-state solution is attractive for all initial swarm distributions. Some initial results for the model in higher dimensions are also presented.

Operator Splitting Method And Applications For Semilinear Parabolic Partial Differential Equations, R. Corban Harwood

Faculty Publications - Department of Mathematics

This dissertation presents a redefined operator splitting method used in solving semilinear parabolic partial differential equations. As one such form, the reaction-diffusion equation is highly prevalent in mathematical modeling. Besides being physically meaningful as a separation of two distinct physical processes in this equation, operator splitting simplifies the solution method in several ways. The super-linear speed-up of computations is a rewarding simplification as it presents great benefits for large-scale systems. In solving these semilinear equations, we will develop a condition for oscillation-free methods, a condition independent of the usual stability condition. This numerical consideration is important to fully embody our …

On Morrey Spaces In The Calculus Of Variations, Kyle Fey

Department of Mathematics: Dissertations, Theses, and Student Research

We prove some global Morrey regularity results for almost minimizers of functionals of the form u → ∫_Ω f(x, u, ∇u)dx. This regularity is valid up to the boundary, provided the boundary data are sufficiently regular. The main assumption on f is that for each x and u, the function f(x, u, ·) behaves asymptotically like the function h(|·|)^α(x), where h is an N-function.

Following this, we provide a characterization of the class of Young measures that can be generated by a sequence …

Quantum Mechanical Model Of The Hydrogen Atom, Andres Ortiz^, Snehanshu Saha*

COURI Symposium Abstracts, Spring 2011

The quantum mechanical wave function of an object under a certain potential is determined by the Schrödinger equation. It is known that the latter equation can be solved analytically only for a finite number of distinct potentials, being a Coulomb potential one of them. For an electron in a hydrogen atom, we analytically find the angular parts of its wave function by the usual method. Under the appropriate change of variable, the radial part of the equation is turned into a Legendre differential equation whose solutions are Legendre polynomials. Using finite difference method and shooting method taking into account physically …

Waves In Microstructured Solids: A Unified Viewpoint Of Modelling, Arkadi Berezovski, Juri Engelbrecht, Mihhail Berezovski

Publications

The basic ideas for describing the dispersive wave motion in microstructured solids are discussed in the one-dimensional setting because then the differences between various microstructure models are clearly visible. An overview of models demonstrates a variety of approaches, but the consistent structure of the theory is best considered from the unified viewpoint of internal variables. It is shown that the unification of microstructure models can be achieved using the concept of dual internal variables.

On The (Non)-Integrability Of The Perturbed Kdv Hierarchy With Generic Self-Consistent Sources, Vladimir Gerdjikov, Georgi Grahovski, Rossen Ivanov

Conference papers

Non-holonomic deformations of integrable equations of the KdV hierarchy are studied by using the expansions over the so-called "squared solutions" (squared eigenfunctions). Such deformations are equivalent to perturbed models with external (self-consistent) sources. In this regard, the KdV6 equation is viewed as a special perturbation of KdV equation. Applying expansions over the symplectic basis of squared eigenfunctions, the integrability properties of the KdV hierarchy with generic self-consistent sources are analyzed. This allows one to formulate a set of conditions on the perturbation terms that preserve the integrability. The perturbation corrections to the scattering data and to the corresponding action-angle variables …

Stability Of A Strongly Anisotropic Thin Epitaxial Film In A Wetting Interaction With Elastic Substrate, Mikhail Khenner, Wondimu T. Tekalign, Margo S. Levine

Mathematics Faculty Publications

The linear dispersion relation for longwave surface perturbations, as derived by Levine et al. Phys. Rev. B 75, 205312 (2007) is extended to include a smooth surface energy anisotropy function with a variable anisotropy strength (from weak to strong, such that sharp corners and slightly curved facets occur on the corresponding Wulff shape). Through detailed parametric studies it is shown that a combination of a wetting interaction and strong anisotropy, and even a wetting interaction alone results in complicated linear stability characteristics of strained and unstrained films.
