In this article, we study the 2D incompressible steady Navier-Stokes equation in a channel $(-L,0)\times(-1,1)$ with the no-slip boundary condition on $\{Y = \pm 1\}$, and consider the inviscid limit $\varepsilon \to 0$. In the special case…

We consider the nonlinear eigenvalue problem $[D(u(t))u(t)']' + \lambda g(u(t)) = 0$, $u(t) > 0$, $t \in I := (0,1)$, $u(0) = u(1) = 0$, which comes from the porous media type equation. Here, $D(u) = pu^{2n} + \sin u$ ($n \in \mathbb{N}$,…

Given a low-frequency sample of the infinitely divisible moving average random field $\{\int_{\mathbb{R}^d}f(t-x)\Lambda (dx), t\in \mathbb{R}^d\}$, in [13] we proposed an estimator $\hat{uv_0}$ for the function $\mathbb{R}\ni x\mapsto…
