The method consists of solving a Cauchy problem with a regularized operator and proving that the solution of this problem tends, as time grows, to a solution of the original nonlinear stationary problem. Examples of applications of the general method are given. Convergence theorems are proved.

The lubricant is represented by a base stock with a polymer additive which undergoes stress-induced degradation caused by scission of polymer molecules. The polymer molecules are considered to be of linear structure. The effective lubricant viscosity experiences reversible and irreversible losses. The reversible loss of the effective lubricant viscosity (shear thinning) is due to the non-Newtonian rheology of the fluid and variations in the fluid shear rate. The irreversible loss of the effective lubricant viscosity is caused by the degradation process of the polymer additive dissolved in the lubricant. The degradation process of the polymer additive while it passes through the contact is described by a kinetic equation. The kinetic equation is solved along the lubricant flow streamlines. The solution of the kinetic equation predicts the density of the probabilistic distribution of the polymer molecular weight versus polymer molecule chain length. The changes in the distribution of polymer molecular weight affect local lubricant properties. In particular, the lubricant viscosity experiences reversible and irreversible losses and, in general, is a discontinuous function. The changes in the lubricant viscosity alter virtually all parameters of the lubricated contact such as film thickness, friction stresses, pressure, and gap. The considered non-Newtonian rheology of the lubricant causes a small reversible loss of its viscosity. As a result of the polymer additive degradation the lubricant may experience a significant irreversible loss of its viscosity which, in turn, leads to a noticeable reduction in the lubrication film thickness in comparison with the case of a non-degrading lubricant with similar rheology. Some comparisons between the cases of lubricants with Newtonian and non-Newtonian rheologies with and without lubricant degradation are considered.

The phase shift is given on a set of closed intervals in (l; k)-plane, satisfying certain geometrical "Staircase Condition". For the numerical solution to this problem a new numerical method is described. 1 Introduction The following Cauchy problem for the radial Schrodinger equation is considered: @ 2 @r 2 OE(l; k; r) + ` k 2 Gamma l(l + 1) r 2 ' OE(l; k; r) = V (r)OE(l; k; r) (1.1) lim r!0 (2l + 1)!!r GammalGamma1 OE(l; k; r) = 1 : (1.2) For potentials from L 1;1 (R+ ), that is the potentials satisfying the condition jjV jj 1;1 = 1 Z 0 rjV (r)jdr ! 1 (1.3) the solution to problem (1.1), (1.2) has the following asymptotic behavior: OE(l; k; r) jF (l; k)j k l+1 sin(kr Gamma l 2 + ffi (l; k)) r !1 ; (1.4) where F (l; k) is the Jost function. 1991 Mathematics Subject Classification. 65J20, 81U40. c fl0000 Ameri...

Th... more A kinetics problem for a degrading polymer additive dissolved in a fluid lubricant is studied. The polymer degradation may be caused by the combination of such lubricant flow parameters as pressure, strain rate, and temperature as well as lubricant viscosity and the polymer characteristics (dissociation energy, bead radius, bond length, etc.). A fundamental approach to the problem of modeling stress-induced polymer degradation is proposed. The polymer degradation is modeled on the basis of a kinetic equation for the density of the statistical distribution of polymer molecules as a function of their molecular weight. The existence and uniqueness of the solution to the initial-value problem for the kinetic equation is proven. Moreover, some properties of the solution are established. The integrodifferential kinetic equation for polymer degradation is solved numerically for a number of different input data. The effects of pressure, strain rate, temperature, and lubricant viscosity on t...

A method is proposed for finding two quite different spherically-symmetric real-valued, piecewise-constant, compactly supported potentials which generate at a fixed energy the phase shifts δℓ which are practically indistinguishable for all ℓ. In particular, an explicit concrete example of two such potentials qj, j = 1, 2, is demonstrated. These potentials have the properties: 1) sup |q1 − q2 |> 3, and qj, j = 1,2, are of order of magnitude 1, 2) δ (1) = δ(2) for l = 0,...,4 and |δ l l (1) − δ(2) | ≤ 10 l l −5, l> 4.

In order to avoid the ill-posed inversion of the Fréchet derivative operator some regularization function is introduced.

Based on the results of the numerical experiments practical recommendations for the choice of the regularization function are given.

To avoid the ill-posed inversion of the Fréchet derivative operator a regularizing one-parametric family of operators is introduced. Under certain assumptions on the regularizing family a general convergence theorem is proved. The proof is based on a lemma describing asymptotic behavior of solutions of a new nonlinear integral inequality. Then the applicability of the theorem to the continuous analogs of the Newton, Gauss-Newton and simple iteration methods is demonstrated.
