Abstract

This article focuses on the mathematical problem of reconstructing dynamic permeability $K(ω)$ of two-phase composites from data at different frequencies, utilizing the analytic structure of the Stieltjes function representation of $K(ω)$ derived by Avellaneda and Tortquato in \cite{avellaneda1991rigorous-link-b}, which is valid for all pore space geometry. The integral representation formula (IRF) for dynamic tortuosity is derived and its analytic structure exploited for reconstructing the function from a finite data set. All information of pore-space microstructure is contained in the measure of the IRF. The theory of multipoint Padé approximates for Stieltjes functions guarantees the existence of relaxation kernels that can approximate the dynamic permeability function and the dynamic tortuosity function with high accuracy. In this paper, a numerical algorithm is proposed for computing the relaxation time and the corresponding strength for each element in the relaxation kernels; in the frequency domain, the approximation can be regarded as approximating the Stieltjes function by rational functions with simple poles and positive residues. With the idea from dehomogenization, we also established the exact relations between the moments of the positive measures in the IRFs of permeability and tortuosity with two important parameters in the theory of poroelasticity: the infinite-frequency tortuosity $α_\infty$ for general case and the weighted volume-to-surface ratio $Λ$ for the JKD model. From these relations, we suggest a new way for evaluating these two microstructure-dependent parameters from a finite data set of permeability and given values of porosity $ϕ$ and pore fluid kinetic viscosity $ν$. Numerical results for JKD permeability and tortuosity are presented.

Pre-Schwarzian and Schwarzian norm estimates for harmonic functions with fixed analytic part

In the present article, we discuss about the estimate of the pre-Schwarzian and Schwarzian norms for locally univalent harmonic functions $f=h+\overline{g}$ in the unit disk $\mathbb{D}:=\{z\in\mathbb{C}:\, |z|<1\}$. First, we prove a general result for the estimate of the pre-Schwarzian norm which rectify few earlier flawed results. We also consider a new class $\mathcal{F}_0$ consisting of all harmonic functions $f=h+\overline{g}$ in the unit disk $\mathbb{D}$ such that ${\rm Re\,}\left(1+z\frac{h''(z)}{h'(z)}\right)>0$ for $z\in\mathbb{D}$ with dilatation $ω_f(z)\in Aut(\mathbb{D})$ and obtain best possible estimates of the pre-Schwarzian and Schwarzian norms for functions in the class $\mathcal{F}_0$. Moreover, we obtain the distortion and coefficient estimates of the co-analytic function $g$ when $f=h+\overline{g}\in\mathcal{F}_0$.

The Reciprocal Problem on Weighted Bergman Spaces

The reciprocal problem on weighted Bergman spaces has been posed as an open problem. In this paper, we establish several sufficient conditions for the reciprocal property and clarify the parameter ranges in which the available methods are applicable. In particular, we prove that functions in $A_α^p\cap H^\infty$ enjoy the reciprocal property in the parameter ranges where the required analytic Besov composition theorem is available. In addition, using Hardy boundary estimates, we solve the reciprocal problem in the Drury--Arveson space $H_d^2$ when the dimension is $d=3$, and give an equivalent condition for the reciprocal problem in the four-dimensional Drury--Arveson space.

Solving non-oscillatory solutions of the Hill equation via the Tumura--Clunie method

We consider the Hill equation $f''-(\sum_{i=-\mathbf{l}}^{\mathbf{k}}b_{i}e^{iz})f=0$ ($†$), where $\mathbf{k}\geq 1$ and $\mathbf{l}\geq 0$ are integers and $b_{-\mathbf{l}}$, $\cdots$, $b_{\mathbf{k}}$ are constants such that $b_{\mathbf{k}}\not=0$. We point out that there is a full correspondence between the class of non-oscillatory solutions such that $λ(f)<\infty$ of equation ($†$) and the class of Liouvillian solutions of equation $x^2u''-(\sum_{i=-\mathbf{l}}^{\mathbf{k}}b_{i}x^{i})u=0$ ($‡$). Then this paper has twofold purposes. First, parallel to Kovacic's algorithms to find the Liouvillian solutions of equation ($‡$), we develop the Tumura--Clunie method to find the non-oscillatory solutions of a higher order version of the Hill equation. In this part, we first determine the form of entire solutions of a general Tumura--Clunie type differential equation. Second, for the particular Hill equation $f''-(b_{\mathbf{k}}e^{\mathbf{k}z}+b_{\mathbf{s}}e^{\mathbf{s}z}+b_0)f=0$, where $\mathbf{k}>\mathbf{s}\geq 1$ are integers and $b_{\mathbf{k}}b_{\mathbf{s}}\not=0$, we use the Tumura--Clunie method to determine the non-oscillatory solution $f$ with an additional zero property.
