Abstract

We study the large-time behavior of Eulerian systems augmented with non-local alignment. Such systems arise as hydrodynamic descriptions of agent-based models for self-organized dynamics, e.g. Cucker & Smale (2007 IEEE Trans. Autom. Control 52, 852–862. (doi:10.1109/TAC.2007.895842)) and Motsch & Tadmor (2011 J. Stat. Phys. 144, 923–947. (doi:10.1007/s10955-011-0285-9)) models. We prove that, in analogy with the agent-based models, the presence of non-local alignment enforces strong solutions to self-organize into a macroscopic flock. This then raises the question of existence of such strong solutions. We address this question in one- and two-dimensional set-ups, proving global regularity for subcritical initial data. Indeed, we show that there exist critical thresholds in the phase space of the initial configuration which dictate the global regularity versus a finite-time blow-up. In particular, we explore the regularity of non-local alignment in the presence of vacuum.

Abstract

We implement the hierarchical decomposition introduced in [Ta15], to construct uniformly bounded solutions of the problem \(\nabla\cdot U = F\), where the two-dimensional data is in the critical regularity space, \(F\in L^2_{\#}(\mathbb{T}^2)\). Criticality in this context, manifests itself by the lack of linear mapping, \(F\in L^2_{\#}(\mathbb{T}^2)\to U\in L^{\infty}(\mathbb{T}^2,\mathbb{R}^2)\) [BB03]. Thus, the intriguing aspect here is that although the problem is linear, the construction of its uniformly bounded solutions is not.

Abstract

To enhance the accuracy of three-dimensional geological model, emphasize the high local relevance characteristics of the complex geological bodies, and avoid complicated calculation and dependence on human experience in traditional interpolation methods, the natural neighbor interpolation (NNI) method was used for three-dimensional discrete data interpolation in the process of modeling. But the existing NNI method could not be applied to the boundary interpolation of finite fields, which was the most difficult problem of its application in three-dimensional geological modeling. Based on the geometry of Voronoi Cells and Delaunay Triangles, the shape function was constructed using non-Sibsonian (Laplace) interpolation method. The continuity of the boundary in NNI method was proven, the boundary interpolation was implemented and the computational complexity was reduced. The accuracy and validity of the method were proven by building the city geological model.
