Existence of traversable wormholes in the minimally coupled gravity model

The objective of this study is to examine the possible existence of traversable wormhole geometries within the context of [Formula: see text] gravity. To meet this objective, we employ the Karmarkar condition to construct the shape function that aids in identifying the wormhole configurations. This developed function is found to satisfy the essential conditions and provides a link between two asymptotically flat spacetime regions. We then assume the Morris–Thorne line element that expresses the wormhole configuration and formulate the anisotropic gravitational equations for a particular minimal matter-spacetime coupled model of the modified theory. Afterward, we develop three solutions and determine their viability by analyzing whether they violate the null energy conditions. Different stability methods are applied to the resulting geometries to explore the acceptance of the considered modified model. We conclude that the developed wormhole structures potentially fulfill the required criteria and thus exist in this modified gravity under all choices of the matter Lagrangian density.

An anisotropic equation of state for solid solutions, with application to plagioclase

Summary This paper presents a framework for building anisotropic equations of state for solid solutions. The framework satisfies the connections between elastic and thermodynamic properties required by Maxwell’s relations. It builds on a recent anisotropic equation of state for pure phases under small deviatoric stresses, adding a dependence on a vector n, whose components ni contain the molar amounts of independent endmembers in the solid solution. These endmembers may have distinct chemical compositions, site species occupancies or electronic spin states. The high albite-anorthite (C$\bar{\text{1}}$) plagioclase solid solution is used to illustrate the formulation.

A high-efficiency Q-compensated pure-viscoacoustic reverse time migration for tilted transversely isotropic media

The attenuation and anisotropy characteristics of real earth media give rise to amplitude loss and phase dispersion during seismic wave propagation. To address these effects on seismic imaging, viscoacoustic anisotropic wave equations expressed by the fractional Laplacian have been derived. However, the huge computational expense associated with multiple Fast Fourier transforms for solving these wave equations makes them unsuitable for industrial applications, especially in three dimensions. Therefore, we first derived a cost-effective pure-viscoacoustic wave equation expressed by the memory-variable in tilted transversely isotropic (TTI) media, based on the standard linear solid model. The newly derived wave equation featuring decoupled amplitude dissipation and phase dispersion terms, can be easily solved using the finite-difference method (FDM). Computational efficiency analyses demonstrate that wavefields simulated by our newly derived wave equation are more efficient compared to the previous pure-viscoacoustic TTI wave equations. The decoupling characteristics of the phase dispersion and amplitude dissipation of the proposed wave equation are illustrated in numerical tests. Additionally, we extend the newly derived wave equation to implement Q-compensated reverse time migration (RTM) in attenuating TTI media. Synthetic examples and field data test demonstrate that the proposed Q-compensated TTI RTM effectively migrate the effects of anisotropy and attenuation, providing high-quality imaging results.

Nonlinear Elliptic Equations with Variable Exponents Anisotropic Sobolev Weights and Natural Growth Terms

Abstract The purpose of our paper is to prove the existence of the distributional solutions for anisotropic nonlinear elliptic equations with variable exponents, which contain lower order terms dependent on the gradient of the solution and on the solution itself. The terms are weighted, and the main results rely on the possibility of comparing the weights with each other, where the right-hand side is a sum of the natural growth term and the datum f ∈ L 1(Ω). Furthermore the weight function θ(·) is in W̊ 1,p→(·) (Ω), with θ(·) > 0 and connected with the coefficient b(·) ∈ L 1(Ω) of the lower order term.

Evolution of realistic neutron star in the framework of [formula omitted] gravity

This work analyses and evaluates a few realistic compact objects in the presence of a gravitational interaction between two particles with a nonmetricity Q. In the f(Q) gravity framework, we have selected the anisotropic equation of motion and have determined f(Q) to be a linear function of nonmetricity Q. To evaluate the field equations in our work, we have opted to employ the Krori-Barua metric. We calculated the anisotropic factor for each of the four compact objects and found that the anisotropic component is positive and increases monotonically and interpreted that the nuclear force can oppose the gravitational attraction. At last, the relationship between mass and radius has been determined and illustrated visually. We have noted that the compactness of the pulsars LMC X-4, SMC X-4, Cen X-3, and Vela X-1 is inside the Buchdahl’s limit for varying values of a. This has led to the interpretation that these pulsars are neutron stars in a modified gravity background of f(Q). In addition, we calculated the model mass and, using thirty distinct choices of a, ran the Chi-Square test to see if there was a noticeable difference between the observed and model-generated masses. We have also looked at how the surface redshift has changed over time and whether the compact objects in our model that were previously described are compact.

Liouville's type results for singular anisotropic operators

Abstract We present two Liouville-type results for solutions to anisotropic elliptic equations that have a growth of power 2 along the first s s coordinate directions and of power p p , with 1 < p < 2 1\lt p\lt 2 along the other ( N − s ) \left(N-s) ones. First, we begin our investigation by assuming that the solution is bounded only from below, deriving a rigidity result for the range p + ( N − s ) ( p − 2 ) > 0 p+\left(N-s)\left(p-2)\gt 0 of non-degeneration, which is a purely parabolic shade. Then we break free from this constraint at the price of assuming the solution to be bounded also from above.

Two-Gap Superconductivity and the Decisive Role of Rare-Earth d Electrons in Infinite-Layer Nickelates.

We present a theoretical prediction of a phonon-mediated two-gap superconductivity in infinite-layer nickelates Nd_{1-x}Sr_{x}NiO_{2} by performing abinitio GW and GW perturbation theory calculations. Electron GW self-energy effects significantly alter the characters of the two-band Fermi surface and enhance the electron-phonon coupling, compared with results based on density functional theory. Solutions of the fully k-dependent anisotropic Eliashberg equations yield two dominant s-wave superconducting gaps-a large gap on a band of rare-earth Nd d and interstitial orbital characters and a small gap on a band of transition-metal Ni d character. Increasing hole doping induces a non-rigid-band response in the electronic structure, leading to a rapid drop of the superconducting T_{c} in the overdoped regime in agreement with experiments.

Anisotropic (p, q) Equation with Partially Concave Terms

We consider a Dirichlet problem driven by the anisotropic (p,q) Laplacian. In the reaction, we have a parametric partially concave term plus a “superlinear” perturbation (convex term) which need not satisfy the Ambrosetti–Rabinowitz condition. Using variational tools, we show that for all small values of the parameter λ>0, the problem has at least two nontrivial smooth solutions.

Time-fractionated anisotropic osmosis with bilateral total variation for effective shadow mitigation in image processing

This work introduces an innovative strategy for mitigating shadow effects in images through the utilization of a time-fractionated anisotropic osmosis equation. The method goes beyond conventional approaches by incorporating a newly derived bilateral total variation (BTV) term, coupled with a nonlinear anisotropic transport component. Theoretical insights are rigorously presented, accompanied by a meticulous exposition of the discretization scheme based on finite differences. In addition to the theoretical foundation, the paper conducts comprehensive numerical experiments to validate the proposed model's efficacy. These experiments not only affirm the qualitative advantages of the anisotropic osmosis model but also provide quantitative evidence of its superiority over existing state-of-the-art techniques.

Continuous dependence on initial data for the solutions of 3-D anisotropic Navier-Stokes equations

In this paper, we prove the continuous dependence on the initial data for the solutions of 3-D incompressible anisotropic Navier-Stokes equations in the functional space Xs(T)=def{u:u∈C([0,T];H0,s)with∇hu∈L2(]0,T[;H0,s)} for s>12. We also show the non-uniform continuity of the data-to-solution map in C([0,T];H0,s) for s>12, which makes sharp contrast with the corresponding result for the classical 3-D Navier-Stokes equations.

A fully implicit, asymptotic-preserving, semi-Lagrangian algorithm for the time dependent anisotropic heat transport equation

In this paper, we extend the operator-split asymptotic-preserving, semi-Lagrangian algorithm for time dependent anisotropic heat transport equation proposed in Chacón et al. (2014) [18] to use a fully implicit time integration with backward differentiation formulas. The proposed implicit method can deal with arbitrary heat-transport anisotropy ratios χ∥/χ⊥⋙1 (with χ∥, χ⊥ the parallel and perpendicular heat diffusivities, respectively) in complicated magnetic field topologies in an accurate and efficient manner. The implicit algorithm is second-order accurate temporally and demonstrates an accurate treatment at boundary layers (e.g., island separatrices), which was not ensured by the operator-split implementation. The condition number of the resulting algebraic system is independent of the anisotropy ratio, and is inverted with preconditioned GMRES. We propose a simple preconditioner that renders the finite-dimensional linear operator compact, resulting in mesh-independent convergence rates for topologically simple magnetic fields, and convergence rates scaling as ∼(NΔt)1/4 (with N the total mesh size and Δt the timestep) in topologically complex magnetic-field configurations. We demonstrate the accuracy and performance of the approach with test problems of varying complexity, including an analytically tractable boundary-layer problem in a straight magnetic field, and a topologically complex magnetic field featuring magnetic islands with extreme anisotropy ratios (χ∥/χ⊥=1010).

An asymptotic-preserving semi-Lagrangian algorithm for the anisotropic heat transport equation with arbitrary magnetic fields

We extend the recently proposed semi-Lagrangian algorithm for the extremely anisotropic heat transport equation [Chacón et al., J. Comput. Phys., 272 (2014)] to deal with arbitrary magnetic field topologies. The original scheme (which showed remarkable numerical properties) was valid for the so-called tokamak-ordering regime, in which the magnetic field magnitude was not allowed to vary much along field lines. The proposed extension maintains the attractive features of the original scheme (including the analytical Green's function, which is critical for tractability) with minor modifications, while allowing for completely general magnetic fields. The accuracy and generality of the approach are demonstrated by numerical experiment with an analytical manufactured solution.

Fabric soft pneumatic actuators with programmable turing pattern textures

This paper presents a novel computational design and fabrication method for fabric-based soft pneumatic actuators (FSPAs) that use Turing patterns, inspired by Alan Turing’s morphogenesis theory. These inflatable structures can adapt their shapes with simple pressure changes and are applicable in areas like soft robotics, airbags, and temporary shelters. Traditionally, the design of such structures relies on isotropic materials and the designer’s expertise, often requiring a trial-and-error approach. The present study introduces a method to automate this process using advanced numerical optimization to design and manufacture fabric-based inflatable structures with programmable shape-morphing capabilities. Initially, an optimized distribution of the material orientation field on the surface membrane is achieved through gradient-based orientation optimization. This involves a comprehensive physical deployment simulation using the nonlinear shell finite element method, which is integrated into the inner loop of the optimization algorithm. This continuous adjustment of material orientations enhances the design objectives. These material orientation fields are transformed into discretized texture patterns that replicate the same anisotropic deformations. Anisotropic reaction-diffusion equations, using diffusion coefficients determined by local orientations from the optimization step, are then utilized to create space-filling Turing pattern textures. Furthermore, the fabrication methods of these optimized Turing pattern textures are explored using fabrics through heat bonding and embroidery. The performance of the fabricated FSPAs is evaluated through three different deformation shapes: C-shaped bending, S-shaped bending, and twisting.

Decoupled approximate qP‐ and qSV‐wave equations in attenuated transversely isotropic media

AbstractAccurate seismic models with anisotropy and attenuation characteristics are crucial to accurately imaging subsurface structures. However, the anisotropic viscoelastic equations are complex and require significant computational resources. In addition, the single‐mode waves have been sufficient for most practical exploration needs. However, separating the qP‐ and qSV‐waves in anisotropic viscoelastic wavefields is challenging. Thus, we propose a new method to approximate and efficiently separate the qP‐ and qSV‐waves in attenuated transversely isotropic media. First, we obtain the decoupled approximate phase velocities of qP‐ and qSV‐waves by a curve‐fitting method. Consequently, based on the average and maximum relative error analysis, our approximate qP‐ and qSV‐wave phase velocities are more accurate than the existing approximations. Additionally, our approximations have broader applicability, resulting in acceptable errors during their application. Second, based on the approximate qP‐ and qSV‐wave phase velocities, we derive the corresponding qP‐ and qSV‐wave equations for a complete decoupling of the qP‐ and qSV‐wave components in transversely isotropic media. Third, to combine the attenuation and anisotropy characteristics, we incorporate the Kelvin–Voigt attenuation model and obtain the decoupled qP‐ and qSV‐wave equations in attenuated transversely isotropic media. Then, we use an efficient and stable hybrid finite‐difference and pseudo‐spectral method to solve the new decoupled qP‐ and qSV‐wave equations. Finally, several numerical examples demonstrate the separability and high accuracy of the proposed qP‐ and qSV‐wave equations. We obtain a qP‐wave wavefield entirely devoid of SV‐wave artefacts. In addition, the decoupled approximate qP‐ and qSV‐wave equations are accurate and stable in heterogeneous media with different velocities and attenuation. The decoupled, approximated qP‐wave and qSV‐wave equations proposed in this paper can effectively separate the qP‐wave and qSV‐wave components, resulting in fully decoupled qP‐ and qSV‐wave wavefields in attenuated transversely isotropic media.

Black hole in a generalized Chaplygin–Jacobi dark fluid: Shadow and light deflection angle

We investigate a generalized Chaplygin-like gas with an anisotropic equation of state, characterizing a dark fluid within which a static spherically symmetric black hole is assumed. By solving the Einstein equations for this black hole spacetime, we explicitly derive the metric function. The spacetime is parametrized by two critical parameters, B and α, which measure the deviation from the Schwarzschild black hole and the extent of the dark fluid’s anisotropy, respectively. We explore the behavior of light rays in the vicinity of the black hole by calculating its shadow and comparing our results with the Event Horizon Telescope observations. This comparison constrains the parameters to 0≤B≲0.03 and 0<α≲0.1. Additionally, we calculate the deflection angles to determine the extent to which light is bent by the black hole. These calculations are further utilized to formulate possible Einstein rings, estimating the angular radius of the rings to be approximately 37.6μas. Throughout this work, we present analytical solutions wherever feasible, and employ reliable approximations where necessary to provide comprehensive insights into the spacetime characteristics and their observable effects.

Zero dissipation limit of the anisotropic Boussinesq equations with Navier-slip and Neumann boundary conditions

In this paper, we study the vanishing dissipation limit of the 2D anisotropic Boussinesq equations with the Navier-slip boundary condition for velocity field and the fixed flux boundary condition for temperature in the upper half plane. By constructing boundary layer correctors to compensate for the discrepancies between dissipative equations and non-dissipative equations at the boundary, we prove that the solutions of the anisotropic Boussinesq equations converge to the solutions of the non-dissipative Boussinesq equations in L2-norm. Particularly, we find that the anisotropic dissipation coefficients only affect the rate of convergence, which is different from the phenomenon of the Dirichlet problem of the anisotropic Boussinesq equations in Wang & Xu (2021).

Doping dependence and multichannel mediators of superconductivity: calculations for a cuprate model

We study two aspects of the superconductivity in a cuprate model system, its doping dependence and the influence of competing pairing mediators. We first include electron–phonon interactions beyond Migdal’s approximation and solve self-consistently, as a function of doping and for an isotropic electron–phonon coupling, the full-bandwidth, anisotropic vertex-corrected Eliashberg equations under a non-interacting state approximation for the vertex correction. Our results show that such pairing interaction supports the experimentally observed dx2−y2 -wave symmetry of the superconducting gap, but only in a narrow doping interval of the hole-doped system. Depending on the coupling strength, we obtain realistic values for the gap magnitude and superconducting critical temperature Tc close to optimal doping, rendering the electron–phonon mechanism an important candidate for mediating superconductivity in this model system. Second, for a doping near optimal hole doping, we study multichannel superconductivity, by including both vertex-corrected electron–phonon interaction and spin and charge fluctuations as pairing mechanisms. We find that both mechanisms cooperate to support an unconventional d-wave symmetry of the order parameter, yet the electron–phonon interaction is mainly responsible for the Cooper pairing and high critical temperature Tc . Spin fluctuations are found to have a suppressing effect on the gap magnitude and critical temperature due to their repulsive interaction at small coupling wave vectors.

The global existence for the strong solution of the stochastic 3-D incompressible anisotropic Naiver-Stokes equations

This paper considers the stochastic 3-D incompressible anisotropic Navier-Stokes equations. We establish the global existence of a strong solution in probability when either the horizontal component of the initial data and external force is sufficiently small or the horizontal viscosity coefficient is sufficiently large.

Stability and optimal decay for the 3D anisotropic magnetohydrodynamic equations

AbstractThis paper investigates the stability problem and large time behavior of solutions to the three‐dimensional magnetohydrodynamic equations with horizontal velocity dissipation and magnetic diffusion only in the direction. By applying the structure of the system, time‐weighted methods, and the method of bootstrapping argument, we prove that any perturbation near the background magnetic field (1, 0, 0) is globally stable in the Sobolev space . Furthermore, explicit decay rates in are obtained. Motivated by the stability of the three‐dimensional Navier–Stokes equations with horizontal dissipation, this paper aims to understand the stability of perturbations near a magnetic background field and reveal the mechanism of how the magnetic field generates enhanced dissipation and helps stabilize the fluid.
