This work presents an efficient method for evaluation of wave scattering by doubly periodic diffraction gratings at or near Wood anomaly frequencies. At these frequencies, one or more grazing Rayleigh waves exist, and the lattice sum for the quasi-periodic Green function ceases to exist. We present a modification of this sum by adding two types of terms to it. The first type adds linear combinations of shifted Green functions, ensuring that the spatial singularities introduced by these terms are located below the grating and therefore outside of the physical domain. With suitable coefficient choices these terms annihilate the growing contributions in the original lattice sum and yield algebraic convergence. Convergence of arbitrarily high order can be obtained by including sufficiently many shifts. The second type of added terms are quasi-periodic plane wave solutions of the Helmholtz equation which reinstate certain necessary grazing modes without leading to blow-up at Wood anomalies. Using the new quasi-periodic Green function, we establish, for the first time, that the Dirichlet problem of scattering by a smooth doubly periodic scattering surface at a Wood frequency is uniquely solvable. We also present an efficient high-order numerical method based on the this new Green function for the problem of scattering by doubly periodic three-dimensional surfaces at and around Wood frequencies. We believe this is the first solver in existence that is applicable to Wood-frequency doubly periodic scattering problems. We demonstrate the proposed approach by means of applications to problems of acoustic scattering by doubly periodic gratings at various frequencies, including frequencies away from, at, and near Wood anomalies.
In the first part of this article we obtain an identity relating the radial spectrum of rotationally invariant geodesic balls and an isoperimetric quotient $sum 1/lambda_{i}^{rm rad}=int V(s)/S(s)ds$. We also obtain upper and lower estimates for the series $sum lambda_{i}^{-2}(Omega)$ where $Omega$ is an extrinsic ball of a proper minimal surface of $mathbb{R}^{3}$. In the second part we show that the first eigenvalue of bounded domains is given by iteration of the Green operator and taking the limit, $lambda_{1}(Omega)=lim_{kto infty} Vert G^k(f)Vert_{2}/Vert G^{k+1}(f)Vert_{2}$ for any function $f>0$. In the third part we obtain explicitly the $L^{1}(Omega, mu)$-momentum spectrum of a bounded domain $Omega$ in terms of its Green operator. In particular, we obtain the first eigenvalue of a weighted bounded domain in terms of the $L^{1}(Omega, mu)$-momentum spectrum, extending the work of Hurtado-Markvorsen-Palmer on the first eigenvalue of rotationally invariant balls.
We construct an expression for the Green function of a differential operator satisfying nonlocal, homogeneous boundary conditions starting from the fundamental solution of the differential operator. This also provides the solution to the boundary value problem of an inhomogeneous partial differential equation with inhomogeneous, nonlocal, and linear boundary conditions. The construction generally applies for all types of linear partial differential equations and linear boundary conditions.
In this paper, we investigate and prove the nonlinear stability of viscous shock wave solutions of a scalar viscous conservation law, using the methods developed for general systems of conservation laws by Howard, Mascia, Zumbrun and others, based on instantaneous tracking of the location of the perturbed viscous shock wave. In some sense, this paper extends the treatment in a previous expository work of Zumbrun [Instantaneous shock location ...] on Burgers equation to the general case, giving an exposition of these methods in the simplest setting of scalar equations. In particular we give by a rescaling argument a simple treatment of nonlinear stability in the small-amplitude case.
We establish existence and pointwise estimates of fundamental solutions and Greens matrices for divergence form, second order strongly elliptic systems in a domain $Omega subseteq mathbb{R}^n$, $n geq 3$, under the assumption that solutions of the system satisfy De Giorgi-Nash type local H{o}lder continuity estimates. In particular, our results apply to perturbations of diagonal systems, and thus especially to complex perturbations of a single real equation.
The emph{two-dimensional} (2D) existence result of global(-in-time) solutions for the motion equations of incompressible, inviscid, non-resistive magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) fluids with velocity damping had been established in [Wu--Wu--Xu, SIAM J. Math. Anal. 47 (2013), 2630--2656]. This paper further studies the existence of global solutions for the emph{three-dimensional} (a dimension of real world) initial-boundary value problem in a horizontally periodic domain with finite height. Motivated by the multi-layers energy method introduced in [Guo--Tice, Arch. Ration. Mech. Anal. 207 (2013), 459--531], we develop a new type of two-layer energy structure to overcome the difficulty arising from three-dimensional nonlinear terms in the MHD equations, and thus prove the initial-boundary value problem admits a unique global solution. Moreover the solution has the exponential decay-in-time around some rest state. Our two-layer energy structure enjoys two features: (1) the lower-order energy (functional) can not be controlled by the higher-order energy. (2) under the emph{a priori} smallness assumption of lower-order energy, we first close the higher-order energy estimates, and then further close the lower-energy estimates in turn.
