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 modera
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 temper
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
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
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 cons
