This paper studies steady-state traffic flow on a ring road with up- and down- slopes using a semi-discrete model. By exploiting the relations between the semi-discrete and the continuum models, a steady-state solution is uniquely determined for a given total number of vehicles on the ring road. The solution is exact and always stable with respect to the first-order continuum model, whereas it is a good approximation with respect to the semi-discrete model provided that the involved equilibrium constant states are linearly stable. In an otherwise case, the instability of one or more equilibria could trigger stop-and-go waves propagating in certain road sections or throughout the ring road. The indicated results are reasonable and thus physically significant for a better understanding of real traffic flow on an inhomogeneous road.

The representation of the conformal group (PSU(2,2)) on the space of solutions to Maxwells equations on the conformal compactification of Minkowski space is shown to break up into four irreducible unitarizable smooth Frechet representations of moderate growth. An explicit inner product is defined on each representation. The frequency spectrum of each of these representations is analyzed. These representations have notable properties; in particular they have positive or negative energy, they are of type $A_{frak q}(lambda)$ and are quaternionic. Physical implications of the results are explained.
The problem of heat conduction in one-dimensional piecewise homogeneous composite materials is examined by providing an explicit solution of the one-dimensional heat equation in each domain. The location of the interfaces is known, but neither temperature nor heat flux are prescribed there. Instead, the physical assumptions of their continuity at the interfaces are the only conditions imposed. The problem of two semi-infinite domains and that of two finite-sized domains are examined in detail. We indicate also how to extend the solution method to the setting of one finite-sized domain surrounded on both sides by semi-infinite domains, and on that of three finite-sized domains.
If the vorticity field of an ideal fluid is tangent to a foliation, additional conservation laws arise. For a class of zero-helicity vorticity fields the Godbillon-Vey (GV) invariant of foliations is defined and is shown to be an invariant purely of the vorticity, becoming a higher-order helicity-type invariant of the flow. GV non-zero gives both a global topological obstruction to steady flow and, in a particular form, a local obstruction. GV is interpreted as helical compression and stretching of vortex lines. Examples are given where the value of GV is determined by a set of distinguished closed vortex lines.
We prove that the steady--state Navier--Stokes problem in a plane Lipschitz domain $Omega$ exterior to a bounded and simply connected set has a $D$-solution provided the boundary datum $a in L^2(partialOmega)$ satisfies ${1over 2pi}|int_{partialOmega}acdot |<1$. If $Omega$ is of class $C^{1,1}$, we can assume $ain W^{-1/4,4}(partialOmega)$. Moreover, we show that for every $D$--solution $(u,p)$ of the Navier--Stokes equations it holds $ abla p = o(r^{-1}), abla_k p = O(r^{epsilon-3/2}), abla_ku = O(r^{epsilon-3/4})$, for all $kin{Bbb N}setminus{1}$ and for all positive $epsilon$, and if the flux of $u$ through a circumference surrounding $complementOmega$ is zero, then there is a constant vector $u_0$ such that $u=u_0+o(1)$.
We continue our investigation of kinetic models of a one-dimensional gas in contact with homogeneous thermal reservoirs at different temperatures. Nonlinear collisional interactions between particles are modeled by a so-called BGK dynamics which conserves local energy and particle density. Weighting the nonlinear BGK term with a parameter $alphain [0,1]$, and the linearinteraction with the reservoirs by $(1-alpha)$, we prove that for all $alpha$ close enough to zero, the explicit spatially uniform non-equilibrium stable state (NESS) is emph{unique}, and there are no spatially non-uniform NESS with a spatial density $rho$ belonging to $L^p$ for any $p>1$. We also show that for all $alphain [0,1]$, the spatially uniform NESS is dynamically stable, with small perturbation converging to zero exponentially fast.
