Contrary to the previous findings, we prove that no solitary wave solutions exist if the sign of the intensity-dependent dispersion coincides with the sign of the constant dispersion, whereas a continuous family of such solutions exists in the case of the opposite signs. The family includes two particular solutions, namely cusped and bell-shaped solitons, where the former represents the lowest energy state in the family and the latter is a limit of solitary waves in a regularized system. We further analyze the delicate analytical properties of these solitary waves such as the asymptotic behavior near singularities, the spectral stability, and the convergence of the fixed-point iterations near such solutions. The analytical theory is corroborated by means of numerical approximations.","PeriodicalId":20964,"journal":{"name":"Quarterly of Applied Mathematics","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.8,"publicationDate":"2021-03-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41607968","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"数学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

As special feature of our model, the absorption takes place inside the rubber foam via a lower length scale, which is assumed to be inherently present in such a structured material. The liquid’s absorption and transport inside the material is modeled by means of a nonlinear parabolic equation derived from Darcy’s law posed in a non-cylindrical domain defined by the macroscopic deformation (which is a solution of the beam equation).\u0000\u0000Under suitable assumptions, we establish the existence and uniqueness of a suitable class of solutions to our evolution system coupling the nonlinear parabolic equation posed on the microscopic non-cylindrical domain with the beam equation posed on the macroscopic cylindrical domain.

The resulting scheme resembles explicit gradient descent; however, the eliminated dual variable shows up as a boosting term that substantially accelerates the scheme. We introduce the proposed strategy for a simple Laplace problem and then illustrate the technique on a variety of more complicated and relevant PDE, both on Cartesian domains and graphs.

The kinetic Kuramoto equation governs the temporal-phase dynamics of the one-oscillator distribution function for an infinite ensemble of Kuramoto oscillators. When random inputs are absent in the coupling strength and initial data, it is well known that the incoherent state is nonlinearly stable in a subscritical regime where the coupling strength is below the critical coupling strength which is determined by the geometric shape of the distribution function for natural frequency. More precisely, Kuramoto order parameter measuring the fluctuations around the incoherent state tends to zero asymptotically and its decay mode depends on the regularity(smoothness) of natural frequency distribution function and initial datum. This phenomenon is called as Landau damping in the Kuramoto model in analogy with Landau damping arising from plasma physics. Our analytical results show that Landau damping is structurally robust with respect to random inputs at least in subscritical regime. As in the deterministic setting, the decay mode for the derivatives of the order parameter in random space can be either algebraic or exponential depending on the regularities of the initial datum and natural frequency distribution, respectively, and the smoothness for the order parameter in random space is determined by the smoothness of the coupling strength","PeriodicalId":20964,"journal":{"name":"Quarterly of Applied Mathematics","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.8,"publicationDate":"2020-08-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45188948","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"数学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
