Positivity-Preserving, Energy Stable Numerical Schemes For The Cahn-Hilliard Equation With Logarithmic Potential, Wenbin Chen, Cheng Wang, Xiaoming Wang, Steven M. Wise 2019 Missouri University of Science and Technology

Positivity-Preserving, Energy Stable Numerical Schemes For The Cahn-Hilliard Equation With Logarithmic Potential, Wenbin Chen, Cheng Wang, Xiaoming Wang, Steven M. Wise

Mathematics and Statistics Faculty Research & Creative Works

In this paper we present and analyze finite difference numerical schemes for the Cahn-Hilliard equation with a logarithmic Flory Huggins energy potential. Both first and second order accurate temporal algorithms are considered. in the first order scheme, we treat the nonlinear logarithmic terms and the surface diffusion term implicitly and update the linear expansive term and the mobility explicitly. We provide a theoretical justification that this numerical algorithm has a unique solution, such that the positivity is always preserved for the logarithmic arguments, i.e., the phase variable is always between −1 and 1, at a point-wise level. in particular, our …

On The Bures–Wasserstein Distance Between Positive Definite Matrices, Rajendra Bhatia, T. Jain, Yongdo Lim 2019 Ashoka University

On The Bures–Wasserstein Distance Between Positive Definite Matrices, Rajendra Bhatia, T. Jain, Yongdo Lim

Journal Articles

The metric d(A,B)=trA+trB−2tr(A1∕2BA1∕2)1∕21∕2 on the manifold of n×n positive definite matrices arises in various optimisation problems, in quantum information and in the theory of optimal transport. It is also related to Riemannian geometry. In the first part of this paper we study this metric from the perspective of matrix analysis, simplifying and unifying various proofs. Then we develop a theory of a mean of two, and a barycentre of several, positive definite matrices with respect to this metric. We explain some recent work on a fixed point iteration for computing this Wasserstein barycentre. Our emphasis is on ideas natural to …


Convergent Solutions Of Stokes Oldroyd-B Boundary Value Problems Using The Immersed Boundary Smooth Extension (Ibse) Method, David B. Stein, Robert D. Guy, Becca Thomases 2019 Simons Foundation

Convergent Solutions Of Stokes Oldroyd-B Boundary Value Problems Using The Immersed Boundary Smooth Extension (Ibse) Method, David B. Stein, Robert D. Guy, Becca Thomases

Mathematics Sciences: Faculty Publications

The Immersed Boundary (IB) method has been widely used to solve fluid-structure interaction problems, including those where the structure interacts with polymeric fluids. In this paper, we examine the convergence of one such scheme for a well known two-dimensional benchmark flow for the Oldroyd-B constitutive model, and we show that the traditional IB-based scheme fails to adequately capture the polymeric stress near to embedded boundaries. We analyze the reason for such failure, and we argue that this feature is not specific to the case study chosen, but a general feature of such methods due to lack of convergence in velocity …

On The Lucas Difference Sequence Spaces Defined By Modulus Function, Murat Karakaş, Tayfur Akbaş, Ayşe M. Karakaş

Applications and Applied Mathematics: An International Journal (AAM)

In this paper, firstly, we define the Lucas difference sequence spaces by the help of Lucas sequence and a sequence of modulus function. Besides, we give some inclusion relations and examine geometrical properties such as Banach-Saks type p, weak fixed point property.


Functional Dimension Of Solution Space Of Differential Operators Of Constant Strength, Morteza Shafii-Mousavi 2019 Indiana University South Bend

Functional Dimension Of Solution Space Of Differential Operators Of Constant Strength, Morteza Shafii-Mousavi

Applications and Applied Mathematics: An International Journal (AAM)

A differential operator with constant coefficients is hypoelliptic if and only if its solution space is of finite functional dimension. We extend this property to operators with variable coefficient. We prove that an equally strong differential operator with variable coefficients has the same property. In addition, we extend the Zielezny’s result to operators with variable coefficients; prove that an operator with analytic coefficients on ℝn is elliptic if and only if locally the functional dimension of its solution space is the same as the Euclidean dimension n.


Study Of Specially And Temporally Dependent Adsorption Coefficient In Heterogeneous Porous Medium, Dilip K. Jaiswal, Gulrana _ 2019 Shri Ramswaroop Memorial University

Study Of Specially And Temporally Dependent Adsorption Coefficient In Heterogeneous Porous Medium, Dilip K. Jaiswal, Gulrana _

Applications and Applied Mathematics: An International Journal (AAM)

One-dimensional advection-dispersion equation (ADE) is studied along unsteady longitudinal flow through a semi-infinite heterogeneous medium. Adsorption coefficient is considered temporally and spatially–dependent function i.e., expressed in degenerate form. The dispersion parameter is considered as inversely proportional to adsorption coefficient. The input source is of pulse type. The Laplace Transformation Technique (LTT) is used to obtain the analytical solution by introducing certain new independent variables through separate transformations. The effects of adsorption, heterogeneity and unsteadiness are investigated and discussed with the help of various graphs.

On Nonlinear Contractions In New Extended 𝒃-Metric Spaces, Hassen Aydi, Abdelbasset Felhi, Tayyab Kamran, Erdal Karapınar, Muhammad U. Ali

Applications and Applied Mathematics: An International Journal (AAM)

Very recently, the notion of extended 𝑏-metric spaces was introduced by replacing the modified triangle inequality with a functional triangle inequality and the analog of the renowned Banach fixed point theorem was proved in this new structure. In this paper, continuing in this direction, we further refine the functional inequality and establish some fixed point results for nonlinear contractive mappings in the new setting. A nontrivial example for the new extended 𝑏-metric space is given.


Mirror Symmetry For Non-Abelian Landau-Ginzburg Models, Matthew Michael Williams 2019 Brigham Young University

Mirror Symmetry For Non-Abelian Landau-Ginzburg Models, Matthew Michael Williams

Theses and Dissertations

We consider Landau-Ginzburg models stemming from non-abelian groups comprised of non-diagonal symmetries, and we describe a rule for the mirror LG model. In particular, we present the non-abelian dual group G*, which serves as the appropriate choice of group for the mirror LG model. We also describe an explicit mirror map between the A-model and the B-model state spaces for two examples. Further, we prove that this mirror map is an isomorphism between the untwisted broad sectors and the narrow diagonal sectors in general.


Secondary Preservice Mathematics Teachers' Curricular Reasoning, Kimber Anne Mathis 2019 Brigham Young University

Secondary Preservice Mathematics Teachers' Curricular Reasoning, Kimber Anne Mathis

Theses and Dissertations

Researchers have found that teachers' decisions affect students' opportunity to learn. Prior researchers have investigated teachers' decisions while planning, implementing, or reflecting on lessons, but few researchers have studied teachers' decisions and their reasoning throughout the teaching process. It is important to study teachers' reasoning for why they make the decisions they do throughout the teaching process. Furthermore, because inservice and preservice teachers differ in experience and available resources that they draw on while making decisions, it is helpful to consider the resources PSTs' draw on while reasoning. Curricular reasoning is a framework that describes teachers' thinking processes when making …

Generalized Bagley-Torvik Equation And Fractional Oscillators, Mark Naber, Lucas Lymburner 2019 Monroe County Community College

Generalized Bagley-Torvik Equation And Fractional Oscillators, Mark Naber, Lucas Lymburner

Applications and Applied Mathematics: An International Journal (AAM)

In this paper the Bagley-Torvik Equation is considered with the order of the damping term allowed to range between one and two. The solution is found to be representable as a convolution of trigonometric and exponential functions with the driving force. The properties of the effective decay rate and the oscillation frequency with respect to the order of the fractional damping are also studied. It is found that the effective decay rate and oscillation frequency have a complex dependency on the order of the derivative of the damping term and exhibit properties one might expect of a thermodynamic Equation of …


New Approach Of Deterministic Key Pre-Distribution Scheme Using Triangle Free Quasi Symmetric Designs, Debashis Ghosh, Joydeb Pal 2019 C. V. Raman College of Engineering

New Approach Of Deterministic Key Pre-Distribution Scheme Using Triangle Free Quasi Symmetric Designs, Debashis Ghosh, Joydeb Pal

Applications and Applied Mathematics: An International Journal (AAM)

A wireless sensor network (WSN) consists of tiny autonomous sensor nodes with some constraints. There are organizations having moderately necessitates of these kind of networks. So, security become an indispensable concern in WSN, due to potential adversaries. To overcome the security problem, keys are pre-loaded to the nodes before deployment. Among all key distribution schemes, deterministic key pre-distribution scheme (KPS) using combinatorial design is efficient regarding security aspect. In this paper, a deterministic approach, based on combinatorial design, for key assignment before the network deployment has been presented. Here the quasi-symmetric design which is of triangle-free is being used to …

Generalized Differential Transform Method For Solving Some Fractional Integro-Differential Equations, S. Shahmorad, A. A. Khajehnasiri

Applications and Applied Mathematics: An International Journal (AAM)

In this paper, we use a generalized form of two-dimensional Differential Transform (2D-DT) to solve a new class of fractional integro-differential equations. We express some useful properties of the new transform as a proposition and prove a convergence theorem. Then we illustrate the method with numerical examples.
