In this work, we show that such examples are not adequate to demonstrate the performance of the method, especially in cases when the poroelastic system is written in the primal or primal-mixed formulation, and when the dynamics of the poroelastic structure are driven only by dynamic loading from the fluid, which often occurs in biomedical applications. In those cases, the only forcing on the structure comes from the interaction with the fluid at the fluid-structure interface, where the coupling conditions are imposed. One of those conditions is a kinematic condition which enforces the conservation of mass. If this condition is not accurately satisfied, the resulting dynamics might lead to highly inaccurate results in the entire domain. We present three benchmark problems: Example 1 is based on the method of manufactured solutions; Example 2 is based on parameters used in geomechanics; and Example 3 is a benchmark problem with parameters from hemodynamics. Using these examples, we test the performance of the primal, primal-mixed and dual-mixed formulations. While all methods perform well in the first two examples, the primal and primal-mixed formulations exhibit large errors in Example 3, where the densities of the fluid and solid are comparable, and the structure dynamics is purely driven by the fluid loading. To recover the accuracy, we propose to use the primal and primal-mixed methods with a penalty term, which helps to enforce the conservation of mass.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":55496,"journal":{"name":"Applied Mathematics and Computation","volume":"487 ","pages":"Article 129081"},"PeriodicalIF":3.5,"publicationDate":"2024-09-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142328083","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"数学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this paper, we study a multi-population prisoner's dilemma game with asymmetric rewards, where agents in the same population play prisoner's dilemma game, and agents from the giver population can reward agents from the recipient population only if they make the same choice. In well-mixed populations, asymmetric rewards can facilitate cooperation. Similarly, asymmetric rewards on the regular square lattice can effectively prevent complete defection. In both well-mixed and structured populations, seemingly disadvantageous cooperative givers play an important role in the maintenance and spread of cooperation. Especially on lattice, cooperative givers with asymmetric rewards can be active in the system through diverse cases of cyclic dominance. Our findings provide deeper insights into the impact of asymmetry on cooperative behavior and the development of altruistic behavior in real-world scenarios.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":55496,"journal":{"name":"Applied Mathematics and Computation","volume":"487 ","pages":"Article 129075"},"PeriodicalIF":3.5,"publicationDate":"2024-09-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142328084","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"数学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This, however, demands robust and well defined models and methods for the different steps involved in the process. We present a vessel coordinate system (VCS) that enables the unambiguous definition of locations in a vessel section, by adapting the idea of cylindrical coordinates to the vessel geometry. Using the VCS model, point correspondence can be defined among different samples of a cohort, allowing data transfer, quantitative comparison, shape coregistration or population analysis. Furthermore, the VCS model allows for the generation of specific meshes (e.g. cylindrical grids, OGrids) necessary for an accurate reconstruction of the geometries used in fluid simulations. We provide the technical details for coordinates computation and discuss the assumptions taken to guarantee that they are well defined. The VCS model is tested in a series of applications. We present a robust, low dimensional, patient specific vascular model and use it to study phenotype variability analysis of the thoracic aorta within a cohort of patients. Point correspondence is exploited to build an haemodynamics atlas of the aorta for the same cohort. The atlas originates from fluid simulations (Navier-Stokes with Finite Volume Method) conducted using OpenFOAMv10. We finally present a relevant discussion on the VCS model, which covers its impact in important areas such as shape modeling and computer fluids dynamics (CFD).</div></div>","PeriodicalId":55496,"journal":{"name":"Applied Mathematics and Computation","volume":"487 ","pages":"Article 129078"},"PeriodicalIF":3.5,"publicationDate":"2024-09-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142322256","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"数学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Reducing wave reflection at the domain boundary is crucial for accurate simulations. Absorbing layers, while common, often incur significant computational costs. This paper introduces an efficient application of a Legendre-Laguerre basis for absorbing layers for two-dimensional non-linear compressible Euler equations. The method couples a spectral-element bounded domain with a semi-infinite region, employing a tensor product of Lagrange and scaled Laguerre basis functions. Semi-infinite elements are used in the absorbing layer with Rayleigh damping. In comparison to existing methods with similar absorbing layer extensions, this approach, a pioneering application to the Euler equations of compressible and stratified flows, demonstrates substantial computational savings. The study marks the first application of semi-infinite elements to mitigate wave reflection in the solution of the Euler equations, particularly in nonhydrostatic atmospheric modeling. A comprehensive set of tests demonstrates the method's versatility for general systems of conservation laws, with a focus on its effectiveness in damping vertically propagating mountain gravity waves, a benchmark for atmospheric models. Across all tests, the model presented in this paper consistently exhibits notable performance improvements compared to a traditional Rayleigh damping approach.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":55496,"journal":{"name":"Applied Mathematics and Computation","volume":"487 ","pages":"Article 129080"},"PeriodicalIF":3.5,"publicationDate":"2024-09-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142322274","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"数学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Firstly, to cope with the design challenge imposed by nondifferential saturation nonlinearity in the system, the asymmetric saturation function is approached by introducing a smooth nonlinear function with respect to the control input signal. Secondly, a variable separation technique lemma is developed to remove the restrictive growth conditions that must be fulfilled by the nonlinear functions, and a new practically fixed-time stability lemma with more accurate upper-bound estimate of the settling time is put forward by means of the Beta function. Then, a technical lemma regarding a class of type-B Nussbaum functions (NFs) with unique properties is introduced, which avoids specific NFs-based complex stability analysis. Moreover, in compensation for the sampling error incurred by the event-triggered mechanism under UCDs, an adaptive law is skillfully constructed to co-design the fixed-time control law and the event-triggered mechanism. The results show that the controlled system is practically fixed-time stable (PFxTS), the tracking error can converge to a small neighborhood of the origin in a fixed time, and the saturation constraint is satisfied while reducing the communication burden. Finally, the effectiveness of the practically fixed-time stability criterion and control method developed in this study are verified by two simulation examples.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":55496,"journal":{"name":"Applied Mathematics and Computation","volume":"486 ","pages":"Article 129070"},"PeriodicalIF":3.5,"publicationDate":"2024-09-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142238253","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"数学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Achieving third and fifth-order convergence, it ensures stability and allows for significantly larger time steps compared to explicit methods. We thoroughly address accuracy and convergence, focusing on the singular <em>p</em>-Laplacian problem and the time-dependent lid-driven cavity benchmark. A globalized variant incorporating a continuation technique is employed to effectively handle high Reynolds number regimes. Through two-dimensional and three-dimensional numerical experiments, we demonstrate that the improved cubically convergent variant outperforms others, leading to substantial computational savings, notably halving the computational cost for the lid-driven cavity test at large Reynolds numbers.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":55496,"journal":{"name":"Applied Mathematics and Computation","volume":"486 ","pages":"Article 129058"},"PeriodicalIF":3.5,"publicationDate":"2024-09-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142228735","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"数学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
