Using gradient-based optimization combined with numerical solutions of the Helmholtz equation, we design an acoustic device with high transmission efficiency and even directivity throughout a two-octave-wide frequency range. The device consists of a horn, whose flare is subject to boundary shape optimization, together with an area in front of the horn, where solid material arbitrarily can be distributed using topology optimization techniques, effectively creating an acoustic lens.

Well-posed variational formulations of Friedrichs-type systems

Martin Berggren, Linus Hagg

Summary: Finite element methods and Hilbert-space theory for partial differential equations rely on variational formulations, but there is a sharp disparity between established well-posedness theories for systems of Friedrichs type and the successful discontinuous Galerkin methods developed for such systems. In an attempt to address this dichotomy, we present well-posed variational formulations for boundary and initial-boundary-value problems of Friedrichs type through specific examples of increasing complexity. These variational forms are generalizations of those used for discontinuous Galerkin methods, incorporating inhomogeneous boundary and initial conditions weakly through integrals.

Modal laminar-turbulent transition delay by means of topology optimization of superhydrophobic surfaces

Harrison Nobis, Philipp Schlatter, Eddie Wadbro, Martin Berggren, Dan S. Henningson

Summary: This study applies topology optimization to laminar-turbulent transition for the first time and finds that a spatially inhomogeneous SuperHydrophobic Surface (SHS) can significantly delay transition by inhibiting the growth of secondary instability modes. Designs have been discovered with comparable mean transition time and lower variance by optimizing over an ensemble of streamwise phase-shifted perturbations.

Travelling wave solutions for a Zakharov-Kuznetsov modified equal width equations

M. S. Bruzon, T. M. Garrido, R. de la Rosa

Summary: We study a family of generalized Zakharov-Kuznetsov modified equal width equations in (2+1)-dimensions involving an arbitrary function and three parameters. By using the Lie group theory, we classify the Lie point symmetries of these equations and obtain exact solutions. We also show that this family of equations admits local low-order multipliers and derive all local low-order conservation laws through the multiplier approach.

Numerical solution of linear pseudo-parabolic equation with time delay using three layer difference method

Ilhame Amirali, Gabil M. Amiraliyev

Summary: This paper considers the one-dimensional initial-boundary problem for a pseudoparabolic equation with a time delay. To solve this problem numerically, a higher-order difference method is constructed and the error estimate for its solution is obtained. Based on the method of energy estimates, the fully discrete scheme is shown to be convergent of order four in space and of order two in time. The given numerical results illustrate the convergence and effectiveness of the numerical method.

Solution set bounds for LCPs over tensor spaces

Tong-tong Shang, Guo-ji Tang, Wen-sheng Jia

Summary: The goal of this paper is to investigate a class of linear complementarity problems over tensor-spaces, denoted by TLCP, which is an extension of the classical linear complementarity problem. First, two classes of structured tensors over tensor-spaces (i.e., T-R tensor and T-RO tensor) are introduced and some equivalent characterizations are discussed. Then, the lower bound and upper bound of the solutions in the sense of the infinity norm of the TLCP are obtained when the problem has a solution.

Gradient-based descent linesearch to solve interval-valued optimization problems under gH-differentiability with application to finance

Priyanka Roy, Geetanjali Panda, Dong Qiu

Summary: In this article, a gradient based descent line search scheme is proposed for solving interval optimization problems under generalized Hukuhara differentiability. The innovation and importance of these concepts are presented from practical and computational perspectives. The necessary condition for existence of critical point is presented in inclusion form of interval-valued gradient. Suitable efficient descent direction is chosen based on the monotonic property of the interval-valued function and specific interval ordering. Mathematical convergence of the scheme is proved under the assumption of Inexact line search. The theoretical developments are implemented with a set of interval test problems in different dimensions. A possible application in finance is provided and solved by the proposed scheme.

A collocation method using generalized Laguerre polynomials for solving nonlinear optimal control problems governed by integro-differential equations

Samaneh Soradi-Zeid, Maryam Alipour

Summary: The Laguerre polynomials are a new set of basic functions used to solve a specific class of optimal control problems specified by integro-differential equations, namely IOCP. The corresponding operational matrices of derivatives are calculated to extend the solution of the problem in terms of Laguerre polynomials. By considering the basis functions and using the collocation method, the IOCP is simplified into solving a system of nonlinear algebraic equations. The proposed method has been proven to have an error bound and convergence analysis for the approximate optimal value of the performance index. Finally, examples are provided to demonstrate the validity and applicability of this technique.

Maximum-principle-preserving high-order discontinuous Galerkin methods for incompressible Euler equations on overlapping meshes

Lulu Tian, Nattaporn Chuenjarern, Hui Guo, Yang Yang

Summary: In this paper, a new local discontinuous Galerkin (LDG) algorithm is proposed to solve the incompressible Euler equation in two dimensions on overlapping meshes. The algorithm solves the vorticity, velocity field, and potential function on different meshes. The method employs overlapping meshes to ensure continuity of velocity along the interfaces of the primitive meshes, allowing for the application of upwind fluxes. The article introduces two sufficient conditions to maintain the maximum principle of vorticity.

Cheng Wang, Jilu Wang, Steven M. Wise, Zeyu Xia, Liwei Xu

Summary: In this paper, a temporally second-order accurate numerical scheme for the Cahn-Hilliard-Magnetohydrodynamics system of equations is proposed and analyzed. The scheme utilizes a modified Crank-Nicolson-type approximation for time discretization and a mixed finite element method for spatial discretization. The modified Crank-Nicolson approximation allows for mass conservation and energy stability analysis. Error estimates are derived for the phase field, velocity, and magnetic fields, and numerical examples are presented to validate the proposed scheme's theoretical results.
