Inverse source problems frequently occur in real-world applications, such as pinpointing the location of contaminant sources in areas that are difficult to access. In this paper, we consider an inverse source problem of identifying an unknown source term in an abstract fractional diffusion-wave equation with inexact order. Due to the ill-posed nature of the problem, we propose a truncation method to achieve a stable solution. Under a Hölder-type source condition, we establish an asymptotically optimal convergence estimate by utilizing measurements of both the derivative order and the final time.

In this work, Hamiltonian variational principle is employed to prove that Schrödinger–Maxwell (SM) equations under Lorenz gauge exhibit a symplectic structure. Based on this, symplectic mixed spectral element time domain method () for SM equations under Lorenz gauge is proposed. This method is a structure-preserving geometric algorithm that achieves high accuracy, particularly in long-term simulation. Simultaneously, to address the incompatibility issue between the divergence operator acting on the magnetic vector potential and the edge spectral element method (SEM), an auxiliary variable is introduced. This adjustment allows SM equations under Lorenz gauge to be effectively discretized using mixed SEM (MSEM). Finally, the effectiveness of S-MSETD is validated through numerical simulations.

A hierarchy of lattice equations, including a coupled five-point lattice equation, is proposed. By employing the zero-curvature equation, Lax pairs for this hierarchy are derived from a 4 × 4 linear matrix spectral problem. Subsequently, the Hamiltonian structure of the hierarchy is established using the trace identity. Furthermore, infinitely many conservation laws for the coupled five-point lattice equation are presented.

The dynamics of viscous thin-film particle-laden flows down inclined surfaces are commonly modeled with one of two approaches: a diffusive flux model or a suspension balance model. The diffusive flux model assumes that the particles migrate via a diffusive flux induced by gradients in both the particle concentration and the effective suspension viscosity. The suspension balance model introduces non-Newtonian bulk stress with shear-induced normal stresses, the gradients of which cause particle migration. Both models have appeared in the literature of particle-laden flow with virtually no comparison between the two models. For particle-laden viscous flow on an incline, in a thin-film geometry, one can use lubrication theory to derive a compact dynamic model in the form of a 2 × 2 system of conservation laws. We can then directly compare the two theories side by side by looking at similarities and differences in the flux functions for the conservation laws, and in exact and numerical simulations of the equations. We compare the flux profiles over a range of parameters, showing fairly good agreement between the models, with the biggest difference involving the behavior at the free surface. We also consider less dense suspensions at lower inclination angles where the dynamics involve two shock waves that can be clearly measured in experiments. In this context the solutions differ by no more than about 10%, suggesting that either model could be used for this configuration.

We give a new blowup criterion for the strong solution of Cauchy problem for three-dimensional micropolar fluid equations with vacuum. It shows that the strong or smooth solution exists globally if the -norm of the density is bounded, where is a positive constant. Particularly, we succeed in removing the technical condition in Hou and Xu (2024).

Taking advantage of the reproducing kernel theory, several effective numerical algorithms have been developed to solve boundary value problems (BVPs) with the exact right side functions. However, these methods have difficulty in solving effectively linear boundary value problems when the right side of the equation has contaminated data. The objective of this letter is to introduce a robust numerical algorithm for linear BVPs with noisy right-hand side functions information. To overcome the challenges of the noisy right-hand side functions, the idea of regularization is used. Numerical simulation is employed to illustrate the superiority of the present method.

In Noor et al. (2011), the second-order Taylor expansion of the objective function is incorrectly used in constructing the descent direction. Thus, the proposed block coordinate descent method is non-monotone and a strict convergence analysis is lack. This motivates us to propose a monotone block coordinate descent method for solving absolute value equations. Under appropriate conditions, we analyze the global convergence of the algorithm and conduct numerical experiments to demonstrate its feasibility and effectiveness.

Rigorously theoretical results are derived and some numerical results are provided to verify the theoretical findings.

We derive the basic reproduction number for the model and establish the existence and local stability of its equilibria. By constructing appropriate Lyapunov functions, we analyze the global stability of these equilibria, with serving as the threshold parameter. Specifically, when , the infection-free equilibrium is globally asymptotically stable, whereas when , the infectious equilibrium is globally asymptotically stable.
