This paper is concerned with an inverse problem of a coupled thermoelastic plate model. Two major features are that the thermal equation has a memory effect, while the plate equation has a curved middle surfac...

We address computer implementation and technology issues in geometric constructions for mathematical and computational modeling purposes, especially regarding 3D finite-element mesh generation for large scale ...

Eigenfunctions and eigenvalues of physical systems and engineering structures can reveal many of the system’s fundamental features and, therefore, become a basis for the study of inverse problems. In this seri...

This paper contains more varieties of animals, including the giraffe, bird species duck, goose and eagle, and the T-Rex dinosaur. They range across mammals, birds and reptiles. For each of them, we present the...

This paper begins with solving the linear elastodynamic equation with forcing by expanding it into Fourier series. We then proceed to prove the conservation laws of momentum, angular momentum, and energy. We i...

This paper studies a structural acoustic model consisting of an interior acoustic wave equation with variable coefficients and a coupled Kirchhoff plate equation with a curved middle surface. By the Riemannian...
Article
The virial theorem is a nice property for the linear Schrödinger equation in atomic and molecular physics as it gives an elegant ratio between the kinetic and potential energies and is useful in assessing the ...
Article
Nano-suspensions (NS) exhibit unusual thermophysical behaviors once interparticle aggregations and the shear flows are imposed, which occur ubiquitously in applications but remain poorly understood, because ex...

The concentration problem of maximizing signal strength of bandlimited and timelimited nature is important in communication theory. In this paper we consider two types of concentration problems for the signals...

Bifurcation means “branching “. It is a major nonlinear phenomenon. Bifurcation happens when one or several important system parameters change values in a transition process. After a bifurcation, the system’s ...

We begin this chapter by giving some simple constructions.

The discovery of many nonlinear phenomena and their study by systematic methods are a major breakthrough in science and mathematics of the 20th Century, leading to the research and development of nonlinear scienc...

One of the most beautiful theorems in the theory of dynamical systems is the Sharkovski Theorem. An interval map may have many different periodic points with seemingly unrelated periodicities. What is unexpect...

The Smale horseshoe offers a model for pervasive high-dimensional nonlinear phenomena, as well as a powerful technique for proving chaos. Here in this chapter, we present the famous Smale horseshoe and show th...

We have studied in Chapter 2 the use of total variations to characterize the chaotic behavior of interval maps. In this chapter, we will generalize such an approach to maps on multi-dimensional spaces.
