Abstract

In recent years, topology optimization (TO) has gained widespread attention as a powerful structural design method. However, its application remains challenging due to the deep expertise and extensive development effort required. Traditional TO methods, tightly coupled with computational mechanics like finite element method (FEM), result in intrusive algorithms demanding a comprehensive system understanding. This paper presents SOPTX, a TO package based on FEALPy, which implements a modular architecture that decouples analysis from optimization, supports multiple computational backends (NumPy, PyTorch, JAX), and achieves a non-intrusive design paradigm. Core innovations include: (1) cross-platform design that supports multiple computational backends, enabling efficient algorithm execution on central processing units (CPUs) and flexible acceleration using graphics processing units (GPUs), while leveraging automatic differentiation (AD) technology for efficient sensitivity computation of objective and constraint functions; (2) fast matrix assembly techniques that overcome the performance bottlenecks of traditional numerical integration methods, significantly accelerating finite element computations and enhancing overall efficiency; (3) a modular framework supporting TO problems for arbitrary dimensions and meshes, allowing flexible configuration and extensibility of optimization workflows through a rich library of composable components. Using the density-based method for the classic compliance minimization problem with volume constraints as an example, numerical experiments demonstrate SOPTX's high efficiency in computational speed and memory usage, while showcasing its strong potential for research and engineering applications.

Large friction limit of compressible Navier--Stokes equations with Navier boundary conditions in a half-space

We study the large-friction limit for the three-dimensional barotropic compressible Navier-Stokes equations in a half-space. The velocity satisfies a Navier boundary condition with friction coefficient $α>0$, while the limiting problem satisfies the no-slip boundary condition. We establish estimates for local-in-time smooth solutions that are uniform in $α$ and prove strong convergence of the density and velocity as $α\to\infty$. For weak solutions, we use the Lagrangian flow maps associated with the two velocities to compare the densities and construct suitable transported test functions. This yields weak convergence to the no-slip solution. Our results provide a compressible counterpart of the large-friction limit for incompressible flows.

Bochner-Riesz means for critical magnetic Schrödinger operators in ${\mathbb R^2}$

We study $L^p$-boundedness of the Bochner-Riesz means for critical magnetic Schrödinger operators $\LL_{\A}$ in ${\mathbb R^2}$, which involve the {physical} Aharonov-Bohm potential. We show that for $1\leq p\leq +\infty$ and $p\not= 2$, the Bochner-Riesz operator $S_λ^δ(\LL_{\A})$ of order $δ$ is bounded on $L^p(\R^2)$ if and only if $δ>\max\big\{0, 2\big|1/2-1/p\big|-1/2\big\}$. The new ingredient {in} the proof is to obtain the localized $L^4(\R^2)$ estimate of $S_λ^δ(\LL_{\A})$, whose kernel is heavily affected by the physical magnetic diffraction, and more singular than the classical Bochner-Riesz means $S_λ^δ(Δ)$ for the Laplacian $Δ$ in ${\mathbb R}^2$.

Solitons, scattering and blow-up for the nonlinear Schrödinger equation with combined power-type nonlinearities on $\mathbb{R}^d\times\mathbb{T}$

We investigate the long time dynamics of the nonlinear Schrödinger equation (NLS) with combined powers on the waveguide manifold $\mathbb{R}^d\times\mathbb{T}$. Different from the previously studied NLS-models with single power on the waveguide manifolds, where the non-scale-invariance is mainly due to the mixed nature of the underlying domain, the non-scale-invariance of the present model is both geometrical and structural. By considering different combinations of the nonlinearities, we establish both qualitative and quantitative properties of the soliton, scattering and blow-up solutions. As one of the main novelties of the paper compared to the previous results for the NLS with single power, we particularly construct two different rescaled families of variational problems, which leads to an NLS with single power in different limiting profiles respectively, to establish the periodic dependence results.
