We consider the spherical piston problem in relativistic fluid dynamics. When the spherical piston expands at a constant speed, we show that the self-similar solution with a shock front exists under the relativistic principle that all velocities are bounded by the light speed. The equation of state is given by P=σ2ρP= sigma ^2 rho, where σsigma, the sound speed, is a constant. It is an important model describing the evolution of stars. Also, we present the global existence of BV solutions for the relativistic Euler system given that the piston speed is perturbed around a constant in a finite time interval. The analysis is based on the modified Glimm scheme and the smallness assumption is required on the initial data.

Shock wave stability for isentropic irrotational flow is studied for Euler system but with shock front conditions corresponding to the second order nonlinear wave equation. It is shown that the usual Lax’ shock condition still guarantees the uniform linear stability and therefore the existence of the shock waves solution.

A finite element based computational scheme is developed and employed to assess a duality based variational approach to the solution of the linear heat and transport PDE in one space dimension and time, and the nonlinear system of ODEs of Euler for the rotation of a rigid body about a fixed point. The formulation turns initial-(boundary) value problems into degenerate elliptic boundary value problems in (space)-time domains representing the Euler-Lagrange equations of suitably designed dual functionals in each of the above problems. We demonstrate reasonable success in approximating solutions of this range of parabolic, hyperbolic, and ODE primal problems, which includes energy dissipation as well as conservation, by a unified dual strategy lending itself to a variational formulation. The scheme naturally associates a family of dual solutions to a unique primal solution; such ‘gauge invariance’ is demonstrated in our computed solutions of the heat and transport equations, including the case of a transient dual solution corresponding to a steady primal solution of the heat equation. Primal evolution problems with causality are shown to be correctly approximated by noncausal dual problems.

The KP-II equation was derived by Kadomtsev and Petviashvili to explain stability of line solitary waves of shallow water. Using the Darboux transformations, we study linear stability of 2 2 -line solitons whose line solitons interact elastically each other. Time evolution of resonant continuous eigenfunctions is described by a damped wave equation in the transverse variable which is supposed to be a linear approximation of the local phase shifts of modulating line solitons.

We study a two-dimensional quaternary inhibitory system. This free energy functional combines an interface energy favoring micro-domain growth with a Coulomb-type long range interaction energy which prevents micro-domains from unlimited spreading. Here we consider a limit in which three species are vanishingly small, but interactions are correspondingly large to maintain a nontrivial limit. In this limit two energy levels are distinguished: the highest order limit encodes information on the geometry of local structures as a three-component isoperimetric problem, while the second level describes the spatial distribution of components in global minimizers. Geometrical descriptions of limit configurations are derived.
