Regular and singular pulse and front solutions and possible isochronous behavior in the Extended-Reduced Ostrovsky Equation: Phase-plane, multi-infin…
2016
In this paper we employ three recent analytical approaches to investigate several classes of traveling wave solutions of the so-called extended-reduced Ostrovsky Equation (exROE). A recent extension of phase-plane analysis is first employed to show the existence of breaking kink wave solutions and smooth periodic wave (compacton) solutions. Next, smooth traveling waves are derived using a recent technique to derive convergent multi-infinite series solutions for the homoclinic orbits of the traveling-wave equations for the exROE equation. These correspond to pulse solutions respectively of the original PDEs. We perform many numerical tests in different parameter regime to pinpoint real saddl…
A linearization technique and error estimates for distributed parameter identification in quasilinear problems
1996
The identification problem of a nonlinear functional coefficient in elliptic and parabolic quasilinear equations is considered. A distributed observation of the solution of the corresponding equation is assumed to be known a priori. An identification method is introduced, which needs only a linear equation to be solved in each iteration step of the optimization. Estimates of the rate of convergence for the proposed approach are proved, when the equation is discretized with the finite element method with respect to space variables. Some numerical results are given.
Looking More Closely at the Rabinovich-Fabrikant System
2016
Recently, we looked more closely into the Rabinovich–Fabrikant system, after a decade of study [Danca & Chen, 2004], discovering some new characteristics such as cycling chaos, transient chaos, chaotic hidden attractors and a new kind of saddle-like attractor. In addition to extensive and accurate numerical analysis, on the assumptive existence of heteroclinic orbits, we provide a few of their approximations.
Stochastic linearization critically re-examined
1997
Abstract The stochastic linearization technique, widely used for the analysis of nonlinear dynamic systems subjected to random excitations, is revisited. It is shown that the standard procedure universally adopted for determining the so-called effective stiffness of the equivalent linear system is erroneous in all previous publications. Two error-free stochastic linearization techniques are elucidated, namely those based on (1) the force linearization and (2) energy linearization.
Controllable Solid Rocket Motor Nozzle Operations in Conditions of Limited-Amplitude Fluctuations
2009
A nonlinear multi scale analysis of a controllable solid rocket motor operating in conditions ranging from high-amplitude fluctuations in combustion chamber to conditions lying in limit cycle is presented and the motor behavior subsequent to some relevant nozzle operations is investigated. Effects of acoustic-vorticity-entropy wave coupling, wave steepening, rotational/viscous flow losses, steep-fronted wave losses are taken into account and oscillatory energy losses in pintle-nozzle, unsteady combustion and chamber geometry changes resulting from grain regression are included. The analysis provides evidence that the unsteady energy balance and the motor wave amplitude evolution are influen…
Singular Double Phase Problems with Convection
2020
We consider a nonlinear Dirichlet problem driven by the sum of a $p$ -Laplacian and of a $q$ -Laplacian (double phase equation). In the reaction we have the combined effects of a singular term and of a gradient dependent term (convection) which is locally defined. Using a mixture of variational and topological methods, together with suitable truncation and comparison techniques, we prove the existence of a positive smooth solution.
Positive solutions for nonlinear Robin problems with convection
2019
We consider a nonlinear Robin problem driven by the p-Laplacian and with a convection term f(z,x,y). Without imposing any global growth condition on f(z,·,·) and using topological methods (the Leray-Schauder alternative principle), we show the existence of a positive smooth solution.
Variable exponent p(x)-Kirchhoff type problem with convection
2022
Abstract We study a nonlinear p ( x ) -Kirchhoff type problem with Dirichlet boundary condition, in the case of a reaction term depending also on the gradient (convection). Using a topological approach based on the Galerkin method, we discuss the existence of two notions of solutions: strong generalized solution and weak solution. Strengthening the bound on the Kirchhoff type term (positivity condition), we establish existence of weak solution, this time using the theory of operators of monotone type.
Heat and mass transfer phenomena in magnetic fluids
2007
In this article the influence of a magnetic field on heat and mass transport phenomena in magnetic fluids (ferrofluids) will be discussed. The first section is dealing with a magnetically driven convection, the so called thermomagnetic convection while in the second section the influence of a temperature gradient on the mass transport, the Soret effect in ferrofluids, is reviewed.

Linearly implicit-explicit schemes for the equilibrium dispersive model of chromatography
2018
Abstract Numerical schemes for the nonlinear equilibrium dispersive (ED) model for chromatographic processes with adsorption isotherms of Langmuir type are proposed. This model consists of a system of nonlinear, convection-dominated partial differential equations. The nonlinear convection gives rise to sharp moving transitions between concentrations of different solute components. This property calls for numerical methods with shock capturing capabilities. Based on results by Donat, Guerrero and Mulet (Appl. Numer. Math. 123 (2018) 22–42), conservative shock capturing numerical schemes can be designed for this chromatography model. Since explicit schemes for diffusion problems can pose seve…
