EFFECT OF NONUNIFORM POROSITY IN CURVED BREAKWATER ON WATER WAVES

Abstract Assuming linear theory, the phenomenon of scattering of waves by a circular arc shaped barrier with nonuniform porosity is studied. The water region is considered to be of infinite or finite depth. Based on a judicious application of Green’s integral theorem, the corresponding boundary value problem is reduced to a hypersingular integral equation of second kind. The boundary element method and the collocation method are adopted to solve the hypersingular integral equation, and we ensure a good matching of the solutions obtained by the two methods. The reflection coefficient and energy dissipation are evaluated by using the solution of the integral equation which is then studied graphically. Different choices of distributions of pores on the barrier are considered, and we observe that the nonuniform porosity of the barrier has significant effect on the reflected wave and the energy dissipation.

The discrete fractional Karamata theorem and its applications

Abstract We establish a fractional extension of the discrete Karamata integration theorem for two types of fractional sum operators. This result, along with other properties of regularly varying sequences and the tools such as comparison theorems and a fixed point theorem in FK-space, is then used to study asymptotic properties of solutions to a nonlinear fractional difference equation. We also establish and utilize a fractional extension of the Stolz–Cesáro theorem, i.e., of the discrete l’Hospital rule. Both, the discrete fractional Karamata theorem and the discrete fractional l’Hospital rule, are believed to find applications in a broader context within the discrete fractional calculus.

Trace principle for Riesz potentials on Herz-type spaces and applications

We establish trace inequalities for Riesz potentials on Herz-type spaces and examine the optimality of conditions imposed on specific parameters. We also present some applications in the form of Sobolev-type inequalities, including the Gagliardo–Nirenberg–Sobolev inequality and the fractional integration theorem in the Herz space setting. In addition, we obtain a Sobolev embedding theorem for Herz-type Sobolev spaces.

The continuous Choquet integral representation theorems in an abstract setting

The purpose of the paper is to formulate Choquet integral representation theorems for a monotone functional on a collection of functions in such a way that the representing measures are simultaneously inner and outer continuous on appropriate collections of sets such as open, closed, compact, and measurable. This type of theorem is referred to as the continuous Choquet integral representation theorem and will be discussed in a setting general enough for practical use. The benefits of our results are as follows:(i)the representing measures are simultaneously inner and outer continuous,(ii)the collections of sets for which the representing measures are inner and outer continuous are larger than those in previous studies,(iii)the regularity of the representing measures is also considered, and(iv)it is possible to handle not only σ-continuous but also τ-continuous functionals.

Improved modeling for dark photon detection with dish antennas

A vector dark matter candidate, also known as dark photon, would induce an oscillating electric field through kinetic mixing. One detection strategy uses a spherical reflector to focus the induced emission at its center of curvature. First, we investigate the effects of diffraction in this type of experiment from an analytical standpoint, making use of the Kirchhoff integral theorem in the low-curvature dish limit. Next, we estimate the impact of mode matching, in the case of detection by a pyramidal horn antenna. We show that the expected signal intensity can be significantly reduced compared to usual estimates. Our method is applied to the reinterpretation of the SHUKET experiment data, the results of which are shown to be degraded by a factor of ∼50 due to both diffraction and mode matching. The analytical method allows optimizing some experimental parameters to gain sensitivity in future runs. Our results can be applied to any dish antenna experiment using a low-curvature reflector.

Exploring the mechanisms behind dual-peak formation in energy harvesting efficiency of semi-passive flapping airfoils with varied spring stiffness

Flapping airfoil energy harvesting has emerged as a promising paradigm inspired by birds and marine organisms. In this investigation, a semi-passive flapping airfoil device with a predetermined pitching motion was examined using a transient numerical simulation method employing an overlapping grid technique. The impact of the spring stiffness on the energy harvesting characteristics of the flapping airfoil was analyzed through the implementation of the integral momentum theorem and dynamic mode decomposition. The results demonstrated that the efficiency and power curves of the flapping airfoil exhibited a distinctive bimodal M shape in response to variations of the spring stiffness. The initial peak efficiency point, which corresponded to the system's natural frequency in proximity to the pitching frequency, was found to be heavily influenced by the presence of leading-edge vortexes, thereby influencing lift generation. By utilizing the integral momentum theorem, it was determined that the Lamb vector term, fluid acceleration term, and total pressure term predominantly contributed to the lift generation. The emergence of the second peak efficiency point was primarily linked to torque variations induced by trailing-edge vortexes.

Noncoercive convex sweeping processes with velocity constraints

In this paper, we investigate noncoercive monotone convex sweeping processes with velocity constraints, a topic not previously investigated. Using some fundamental results on Bochner integration, the Tikhonov regularization method, a solution existence result for coercive convex sweeping processes with velocity constraints and a useful fact on measurable single-valued mappings, we prove the solution existence and properties of the solution set of noncoercive convex sweeping processes with velocity constraints under suitable conditions. These results represent a significant contribution, addressing a specific aspect of an open question posed in our recent work [Adly et al., Convex and nonconvex sweeping processes with velocity constraints: well-posedness and insights. Appl Math Optim. 2023;88(Paper No. 45)]. Additionally, we resolve two other open questions from the same paper concerning the behaviour of the regularized trajectories, relying on the Dominated Convergence Theorem for Bochner integration.

Integral theorems for the gradient of a vector field, with a fluid dynamical application

The familiar divergence and Kelvin–Stokes theorem are generalized by a tensor-valued identity that relates the volume integral of the gradient of a vector field to the integral over the bounding surface of the tensor product of the vector field with the exterior normal. The importance of this long-established yet relatively little-known result is discussed. In flat two-dimensional space, it reduces to a relationship between an integral over an area and that over its bounding curve, combining the two-dimensional divergence and Kelvin–Stokes theorems together with two related theorems involving the strain, as is shown through a decomposition using a suitable tensor basis. A fluid dynamical application to oceanic observations along the trajectory of a moving platform is given. The potential extension of the generalized two-dimensional identity to curved surfaces is considered and is shown not to hold. Finally, the paper includes a substantial background section on tensor analysis, and presents results in both symbolic notation and index notation in order to emphasize the correspondence between these two notational systems.

Rules-reduced fuzzy neural network-based learning control for multiple constraints robots using online identification and compensation methods

This paper presents a novel fuzzy-learning adaptive control approach for uncertain robotic systems with input dead zone and output saturation constraints. To address the input dead zone and output saturation and improve the control stability of the robot, an internal model compensation method was proposed, which utilizes online identification of an arctanh function to approximate the output saturation of actuators. The paper also introduces an adaptive learning control system based on a rules-reduced fuzzy neural network (RRFNN) algorithm, which considers the dead zone and output saturation function to enhance control performance, and an adaptive law driven by approximation mistakes is employed to handle multiple constraints. Furthermore, the controller utilizes the integral Lyapunov stability theorem and RRFNN to design the fuzzy-learning adaptive control law, ensuring global convergence and stability of the control system. Extensive simulations and experiments on a robotic manipulator are conducted to verify the feasibility of the proposed control method. Without the proposed method, the robot’s joint tracking error exceeds 0.5 rad, while with the proposed controller, it is less than 0.05 rad and does not violate output saturation constraints. Thus, the proposed method can realize the desired performance and overcome multiple constraints.

Semi-analytical approach to study wave interaction with a pair of obliquely submerged heterogeneous flexible structures

ABSTRACT Analyzing inclined flexible plates of varying thickness is crucial for optimising and attaining precise control over wave reflection and transmission. This is particularly significant in the context of breakwater construction. In contrast to horizontal breakwaters, inclined barriers can penetrate multiple layers of fluid with varying particle velocities, facilitating interactions and causing wave breaking, which results in the dissipation of wave energy. Moreover, compared to vertical structures, inclined ones demonstrate more effective wave attenuation. In the context of the present study, we investigate the interaction of water waves with a pair of obliquely submerged flexible thin plates characterised by non-uniform thickness. In order to model this complex physical scenario, we employ the principles of linear water wave theory in conjunction with Kirchhoff's thin plate theory. By employing repeated integration and Green's integral theorem, we reduce the boundary value problem to a system of coupled integral equations. Through appropriate approximations, we solve this system and obtain numerical values for various hydrodynamic quantities. This model provides comprehensive results for both horizontal and vertical plates, making it highly versatile. We examine the impact of varying thickness and the inclination of the two flexible plates to understand their roles in the wave scattering process and the associated physical parameters. The results obtained from this study shed light on the intricate dynamics involved in wave-structure interactions and can inform the design and optimisation of breakwater systems.

Integral fluctuation theorems and trace-preserving map.

The detailed fluctuation theorem implies symmetry in the generating function of entropy production probability. The integral fluctuation theorem directly follows from this symmetry and the normalization of the probability. In this paper, we rewrite the generating function by integrating measurements and evolution into a constructed mapping. This mapping is completely positive, and the original integral fluctuation theorem is determined by the trace-preserving property of these constructed maps. We illustrate the convenience of this method by discussing the eigenstate fluctuation theorem and heat exchange between two baths. This set of methods is also applicable to the generating functions of quasiprobability, where we observe the Petz recovery map arising naturally from this approach.

Universal scale laws for colors and patterns in imagery

Distribution of colors and patterns in images is observed through cascades that adjust spatial resolution and dynamics. Cascades of colors reveal the emergent universal property that Fully Colored Images (FCIs) of natural scenes adhere to the debated continuous linear log-scale law (slope −2.00±0.01) (L1). Cascades of discrete 2×2 patterns are derived from pixel square reductions onto the seven unlabeled rotation-free textures (0000, 0001, 0011, 0012, 0101, 0102, 0123). They exhibit an unparalleled universal entropy maximum of 1.74±0.013 at some dynamics regardless of spatial scale (L2). Patterns also adhere to the Integral Fluctuation Theorem (1.00±0.01) (L3), pivotal in studies of chaotic systems. Images with fewer colors exhibit quadratic shift and bias from L1 and L3 but adhere to L2. Randomized Hilbert fractal FCIs better match the laws than basic-to-AI-based simulations. Those results are of interest in Neural Networks, out-of-equilibrium physics, and spectral imagery.

Parameter estimation for the stochastic heat equation with multiplicative noise from local measurements

For the stochastic heat equation with multiplicative noise we consider the problem of estimating the diffusivity parameter in front of the Laplace operator. Based on local observations in space, we first study an estimator, derived in Altmeyer and Reiß (2021) for additive noise. A stable central limit theorem shows that this estimator is consistent and asymptotically mixed normal. By taking into account the quadratic variation, we propose two new estimators. Their limiting distributions exhibit a smaller (conditional) variance and the last estimator also works for vanishing noise levels. The proofs are based on local approximation results to overcome the intricate nonlinearities and on a stable central limit theorem for stochastic integrals with respect to cylindrical Brownian motion. Simulation results illustrate the theoretical findings.

A Generalization of Wayment’s Mean Value Theorem for Integrals

Hyperholomorphicity by Proposing the Corresponding Cauchy–Riemann Equation in the Extended Quaternion Field

In algebra, the sedenions, an extension of the octonion system, form a 16-dimensional noncommutative and nonassociative algebra over the real numbers. It can be expressed as two octonions, and a function and differential operator can be defined to treat the sedenion, expressed as two octonions, as a variable. By configuring elements using the structure of complex numbers, the characteristics of octonions, the stage before expansion, can be utilized. The basis of a sedenion can be simplified and used for calculations. We propose a corresponding Cauchy–Riemann equation by defining a regular function for two octonions with a complex structure. Based on this, the integration theorem of regular functions with a sedenion of the complex structure is given. The relationship between regular functions and holomorphy is presented, presenting the basis of function theory for a sedenion of the complex structure.

Variants of Bernstein’s theorem for variational integrals with linear and nearly linear growth

AbstractUsing a Caccioppoli-type inequality involving negative exponents for a directional weight we establish variants of Bernstein’s theorem for variational integrals with linear and nearly linear growth. We give some mild conditions for entire solutions of the equation $$\begin{aligned} {\text {div}} \Big [Df(\nabla u)\Big ] = 0 \,, \end{aligned}$$ div [ D f ( ∇ u ) ] = 0 , under which solutions have to be affine functions. Here f is a smooth energy density satisfying $$D^2 f>0$$ D 2 f > 0 together with a natural growth condition for $$D^2 f$$ D 2 f .

LOG HARMONIC MAPPINGS ASSOCIATED WITH THE SINE FUNCTION

In this paper, we define new subclasses $\mathcal{ST}_{lh}(s)$ and $\mathcal{CST}_{lh}(s)$ of sin starlike log-harmonic mappings and sin close to starlike log-harmonic mappings, respectively, defined in the open unit disc $\de$. We investigate representation theorem and integral representation theorem for functions $f \in \mathcal{ST}_{lh}(s)$. Further, we determine radii of starlikeness for such functions.

On codimension one holomorphic distributions on compact toric orbifolds

The number of singularities, counted with multiplicity, of a generic codimension one holomorphic distribution on a compact toric orbifold is determined. As a consequence, we provide a classification for regular distributions on rational normal scrolls and weighted projective spaces. Additionally, under specific conditions, we prove that the singular set of a codimension one holomorphic foliation on a compact toric orbifold admits at least one irreducible component of codimension two, and we also present a Darboux–Jouanolou type integrability theorem for codimension one holomorphic foliations. Our results are exemplified through various illustrative examples.

On integral theorems and their statistical properties

We introduce a class of integral theorems based on cyclic functions and Riemann sums approximating integrals. The Fourier integral theorem, derived as a combination of a transform and inverse transform, arises as a special case. The integral theorems provide natural estimators of density functions via Monte Carlo methods. Assessment of the quality of the density estimators can be used to obtain optimal cyclic functions, alternatives to the sin function, which minimize square integrals. Our proof techniques rely on a variational approach in ordinary differential equations and the Cauchy residue theorem in complex analysis.
