In this paper, we consider p-Laplace equation which models the turbulent flow in a porous medium. Using a continuation principle (cf. [R. $Man{\acute{a}}sevich$ and J. Mawhin, Periodic solutions for nonlinear systems with p-Lplacian-like operators, J. Diff. Equa. 145(1998), 367-393]), we prove the existence of solutions for p-Laplace equation subject to periodic boundary conditions, under some sign and growth conditions for f. With the help of Leray-Schauder degree theory, the multiplicity of periodic solutions for p-Laplace equation is obtained under the similar conditions above and some known results are improved.

In this study, we consider a heat equation with a variable-coefficient linear forcing term and a time-periodic boundary condition. Under some decay and smoothness assumptions on the coefficient, we establish the existence and uniqueness of a time-periodic solution satisfying the boundary condition. Furthermore, possible connections to the closed boundary layer equations were discussed. The difficulty with a perturbed leading order coefficient is demonstrated by a simple example.

This paper extends some well-known system theories on algebraic matrix Lyapunov and Riccati equations. These extended results contain two point boundary conditions in matrix differential equations and include conventional results as special cases. Necessary and sufficient conditions are derived under which linear systems are stabilizable with feedback gains derived from periodic two-point boundary matrix differential equations. An iterative computation method for two-point boundary differential Riccati equations is given with an initial guess method. The results in this paper are related to periodic feedback controls and also to the quadratic cost problem with a discrete state penalty.

Micromechanics is a technique for the analysis of composites or heterogeneous materials which focuses on the components of the intended structure. Each one of the components can exhibit isotropic behavior, but the microstructure characteristics of the heterogeneous material result in the anisotropic behavior of the structure. In this research, the general mechanical properties of a 3D anisotropic and heterogeneous Representative Volume Element (RVE), have been determined by applying periodic boundary conditions (PBCs), using the Asymptotic Homogenization Theory (AHT) and strain energy. In order to use the homogenization theory and apply the periodic boundary conditions, the ABAQUS scripting interface (ASI) has been used along with the Python programming language. The results have been compared with those of the Homogeneous Boundary Conditions method, which leads to an overestimation of the effective mechanical properties. According to the results, applying homogenous boundary conditions results in a 33% and 13% increase in the shear moduli G₂₃ and G₁₂, respectively. In polymeric composites, the fibers have linear and brittle behavior, while the resin exhibits a non-linear behavior. Therefore, the nonlinear effects of resin on the mechanical properties of the composite material is studied using a user-defined subroutine in Fortran (USDFLD). The non-linear shear stress-strain behavior of unidirectional composite laminates has been obtained. Results indicate that at arbitrary constant stress as 80 MPa in-plane shear modulus, G₁₂, experienced a 47%, 41% and 31% reduction at the fiber volume fraction of 30%, 50% and 70%, compared to the linear assumption. The results of this study are in good agreement with the analytical and experimental results available in the literature.

In this paper, we consider the periodic boundary value problem with sign changing nonlinearity $$u^{{\prime}{\prime}{\prime}}+{\rho}^3u=f(t,u),\;t{\in}[0,2{\pi}]$$, subject to the boundary value conditions: $$u^{(i)}(0)=u^{(i)}(2{\pi}),\;i=0,1,2$$, where ${\rho}{\in}(o,{\frac{1}{\sqrt{3}}})$ is a positive constant and f(t, u) is a continuous function. Using Leggett-Williams fixed point theorem, we provide sufficient conditions for the existence of at least three positive solutions to the above boundary value problem. The interesting point is the nonlinear term f may change sign.

Motivated by [Linear Algebra and its Appl. 420(2007), 218-227] and [Linear Algebra and its Appl. 425(2007), 171-183], we, in this paper, study the solvability of periodic boundary value problems of higher order nonlinear functional difference equations with p-Laplacian. Sufficient conditions for the existence of at least one solution of this problem are established.

Based on the notion of $q_k$-derivative introduced by the authors in [17], we prove in this paper existence and uniqueness results for nonlinear second-order impulsive $q_k$-difference equations with anti-periodic boundary conditions. Two results are obtained by applying Banach's contraction mapping principle and Krasnoselskii's fixed point theorem. Some examples are presented to illustrate the results.

Most electrical machines like motor, generator and transformer are symmetric in terms of magnetic field distribution and mechanical structure. In order to analyze these problems effectively, many coupling techniques have been introduced. This paper deals with a coupling scheme for open boundary problem of symmetric and periodic structure. It couples an analytical solution of Fourier series expansion with the standard finite element method. The analytical solution is derived for the magnetic field in the outside of the boundary, and the finite element method is for the magnetic field in the inside with source current and magnetic materials. The main advantage of the proposed method is that it retains sparsity and symmetry of system matrix like the standard FEM and it can also be easily applied to symmetric and periodic problems. Also, unknowns of finite elements at the boundary are coupled with Fourier series coefficients. The boundary conditions are used to derive a coupled system equation expressed in matrix form. The proposed algorithm is validated using a test model of a bush bar for the power supply. And the each result is compared with analytical solution respectively.

The present paper focuses on the analysis of aero-acoustics characteristic by several boundary conditions. In this simulation, a high-order and high-resolution numerical schemes are used for the accurate computation of compressible flow with several boundary conditions including characteristic boundary conditions as well as extrapolation and zonal characteristic boundary condition. These boundary conditions are applied to the computation of two dimensional circular cylinder flows with Mach number of 0.3 and Reynolds number of 400. The computation results are validated with measurement datum and other computation results for the Strouhal frequency of vortex shedding, the mean drag coefficient and root-mean-square lift for the unsteady periodic flow regime. Secondary frequency is predicted by three kinds of boundary conditions characteristic.

Nonstandard finite difference schemes are considered for a generalization of the Cahn-Hilliard equation with Neumann boundary conditions and the Kuramoto-Sivashinsky equation with periodic boundary conditions, which are of the type $$U_t\;+\;\frac{{\partial}^2}{{\partial}x^2} g(u,\;U_x,\;U_{xx})\;=\;\frac{{\partial}^{\alpha}}{{\partial}x^{\alpha}}f(u,\;u_x),\;{\alpha}\;=\;0,\;1,\;2$$. Stability and error estimate of approximate solutions for the corresponding schemes are obtained using the extended Lax-Richtmyer equivalence theorem. Three examples are provided to apply the nonstandard finite difference schemes.
