    Accurate Sharp Interface Scheme for Multimaterials

    No full text
    We present a method to capture the evolution of a contact discontinuity separating two different material. A locally non-conservative scheme allows an accurate and stable simulation while the interface is kept sharp. Numerical illustrations include problems involving fluid and elastic problems

    A sharp Trudinger-Moser type inequality for unbounded domains in R^n

    No full text
    The Trudinger-Moser inequality states that for functions u in the Sobolev space H^1,n over a bounded domain with a certain exponential integral is bounded by a constant depending on the domain, but not on u. Recently, the second author has shown that for n = 2 the bound the constant is independent of the domain if the Dirichlet norm is replaced by the full Sobolev norm, We extend here this result to arbitrary dimensions n > 2. Also, we prove that on all of R^n the corresponding supremum is attained. The proof is based on a blow-up procedure

    Taxonomic revision of species in the New Zealand endemic genera Peniticus Sharp, 1876 and Pilacolaspis Sharp, 1886 (Coleoptera: Chrysomelidae)

    In this work, two endemic genera of Eumolpinae from New Zealand, Pilacolaspis Sharp, 1886 and Peniticus Sharp, 1876, are revised for the first time since the description of their constituent species in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The five taxa of Pilacolaspis are considered to comprise two species, P. huttoni (Broun, 1880) (=P. wakefieldi Sharp, 1886 n. syn. =P. rugiventris Broun, 1914 n. syn.) and P. latipennis Broun, 1912 (=P. angulatus Broun, 1912 n. syn.), with allopatric distributions in the Canterbury/Otago lowlands and the Marlborough areas around the Kaikouras, respectively. The following five species are recognised in Peniticus, one of which is new: P. antiquus Sharp, 1876, P. wallacei Broun, 1909, P. microreticulatus sp. nov., P. suffusus Sharp, 1876 (=P. robustus Sharp, 1880 n. syn.) and P. plicatus Broun, 1921. A key to the New Zealand genera of Eumolpinae and the species of Pilacolaspis and Peniticus is provided.This work would have not been possible without support from a Salvador de Madariaga mobility scholarship from the Spanish Ministry of Science, Innovation and Universities (PRX18/00219), as well as research grant CGL2017‐83324‐P of the Agencia Estatal de Investigación from the same Ministry, with contribution from the European Commission RDF

    Lagrangian sharp interface schemes for multimaterials

    No full text
    We present multi-material simulations in the Lagrangian framework. The methods employed are based on classical Godunov-like methods that are adapted to treat the case of interfaces separating different materials. In the models considered the gas, liquids or elastic materials are described by specific constitutive laws, but the governing equations are the same. Examples of gas-gas and elastic-elastic material interactions are presented

    Sharp regularity estimates for second order fully nonlinear parabolic equations

    No full text
    We prove sharp regularity estimates for viscosity solutions of fully nonlinear parabolic equations of the form (Formula Presented.)where F is elliptic with respect to the Hessian argument and f∈ Lp , q(Q1). The quantity Ξ(n,p,q):=np+2q determines to which regularity regime a solution of (Eq) belongs. We prove that when 1 < Ξ (n, p, q) < 2 - ϵF, solutions are parabolically α-Hölder continuous for a sharp, quantitative exponent 0 < α(n, p, q) < 1. Precisely at the critical borderline case, Ξ (n, p, q) = 1 , we obtain sharp parabolic Log-Lipschitz regularity estimates. When 0 < Ξ (n, p, q) < 1 , solutions are locally of class C1+σ,1+σ2 and in the limiting case Ξ (n, p, q) = 0 , we show parabolic C1 , Log-Lip regularity estimates provided F has “better” a priori estimates.Fil: Da Silva, Joao Vitor.

    Sharp partial order and linear autonomous systems

    No full text
    [EN] This paper deals with autonomous linear systems and the sharp partial order. Given an autonomous linear system, we find another system, which is related to the first one by means of the sharp partial order. This relation can be interpreted in different ways: as a perturbation or as a projection of the initial system. Both points of view allow us to work with a new system with some previously selected behaviour. The solutions of the two systems are related via a matrix that gives the gap between them. We design some algorithms and analize their performance with numerical examples.This research was partially supported by Ministerio de Economia, Industria y Competitividad of Spain (Red de Excelencia MTM2017-90682-REDT) and by Universidad de Buenos Aires (EXP-UBA: 13.019/2017, 20020170100350BA).Herrero Debón, A.; Thome, N.

    Positive definiteness of the blended force-based quasicontinuum method

    No full text
    The development of consistent and stable quasicontinuum models for multidimensional crystalline solids remains a challenge. For example, proving the stability of the force-based quasicontinuum (QCF) model [M. Dobson and M. Luskin, M2AN Math. Model. Numer. Anal., 42 (2008), pp. 113--139] remains an open problem. In one and two dimensions, we show that by blending atomistic and Cauchy--Born continuum forces (instead of a sharp transition as in the QCF method) one obtains positive-definite blended force-based quasicontinuum (B-QCF) models. We establish sharp conditions on the required blending width
