We prove the global existence of strong solutions for the initial boundary value problem in the quarter plane. In particular, we show that in large time, these solutions tend to the nonlinear diffusion wave which is different from the steady state, at an algebraic time-decay rate. As far as we know, this is the first result about the nonlinear diffusion wave phenomena of the solutions for the one-dimensional drift-diffusion model in the quarter plane.展开更多

The nonlinear constitutive relations are presented, and the strain energy, kinetic energy, and virtual work of the PS doubly-curved shell are derived.Based on Hamilton's principle as well as the condition of charge continuity, the nonlinear governing equations are achieved, and then these equations are solved by means of an efficient iteration method. Several numerical examples are given to show the effect of the nonlinear drift current, elastic foundation parameters as well as geometric parameters on the nonlinear vibration frequency, and the damping characteristic of the PS doublycurved shell. The main innovations of the manuscript are that the difference between the linearized drift-diffusion(LDD) model and the NLDD model is revealed, and an effective method is proposed to select a proper initial electron concentration for the LDD model.展开更多

We first show the global existence of the strong solution of the initial boundary value problem in the quarter plane. Moreover, we show the self-similarity property of the strong solution of the bipolar quantum drift-diffusion model in the large time. Namely, we show the unique global strong solution with strictly positive density to the initial boundary value problem of the quantum drift-diffusion model, which in large time, tends to have a self-similar wave at an algebraic time-decay rate. We prove them in an energy method.展开更多
