Toward a mathematical analysis for a model of suspension flowing down an inclined plane

We consider the Riemann problem of the dilute approximation equations with spatiotemporally dependent volume fractions from the full model of suspension, in which the particles settle to the solid substrate and the clear liquid film flows over the sediment [Murisic et al., J. Fluid. Mech. {\bf{717}}, 203--231 (2013)]. We present a method to find shock waves, rarefaction waves for the Riemann problem of this system. Our method is mainly based on [Smoller, Springer-Verlag, New York, second edition, (1994)].Comment: Submitted to proceedings for EquaDiff201

A note on the spectral mapping theorem of quantum walk models

We discuss the description of eigenspace of a quantum walk model $U$ with an associating linear operator $T$ in abstract settings of quantum walk including the Szegedy walk on graphs. In particular, we provide the spectral mapping theorem of $U$ without the spectral decomposition of $T$. Arguments in this direction reveal the eigenspaces of $U$ characterized by the generalized kernels of linear operators given by $T$.Comment: 17 page
