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.

The two-dimensional Matkowski--Sut\^o equation with holomorphic and strictly increasing generators

We study the two-dimensional Matkowski--Sut\^o equation, which asks for two quasi-arithmetic means whose sum is twice the arithmetic mean, in two settings. For holomorphic injective generators with convex images on a convex domain in the complex plane, the solutions are exactly the affine pairs and the exponential pairs with a nonzero complex exponent, up to affine changes of the generators. The admissible exponents depend on the shape of the domain and are described by a curvature criterion for its boundary. In the monotone-operator framework of T\'oth, we construct an infinite-dimensional family of non-affine shear pairs on the whole plane. Their generators are strictly increasing in the sense of monotone operators and need not be differentiable. These pairs solve the weighted equation for any number of variables. The rigidity of the one-dimensional problem, due to Dar\'oczy and P\'ales, persists under holomorphy but not under monotonicity.

A counterexample to an open problem of Dorff

The classical P\'olya-Schoenberg conjecture, proved by Ruscheweyh-Sheil-Small, asserts that the convolution of two normalized convex univalent functions is again convex. This property fails to carry over to planar harmonic mappings. In 2001, Dorff posed the open problem whether the self-convolution of a normalized convex harmonic mapping with bounded image must remain in the same class. We construct a normalized sense-preserving harmonic diffeomorphism that maps the unit disk onto an ellipse; its self-convolution has vanishing Jacobian at some interior point of the unit disk, which provides a negative answer to Dorff's open problem.

Analytic Construction of Rational Curves on Fano Manifolds

Inspired by methods for constructing entire curves in Oka geometry, we give an analytic construction of rational curves on a complex Fano manifold $X$. Yau's theorem provides a K\"ahler metric with positive Ricci curvature. Using this curvature to guide deformations of holomorphic discs, we construct maps from discs of radii tending to infinity with uniformly bounded area. A central point is to preserve the derivative normalization through the limiting process. This yields a nonconstant entire map $f:\mathbb C\rightarrow X$ of finite area. This map extends across infinity to a nonconstant holomorphic map $\mathbb P^1\to X$. Combined with algebraic arguments in characteristic zero, the construction yields proofs of the rational connectedness of Fano manifolds and of Hartshorne's conjecture on ample tangent bundles.
