A Multi-level Correction Scheme for Eigenvalue Problems

In this paper, a new type of multi-level correction scheme is proposed for solving eigenvalue problems by finite element method. With this new scheme, the accuracy of eigenpair approximations can be improved after each correction step which only needs to solve a source problem on finer finite element space and an eigenvalue problem on the coarsest finite element space. This correction scheme can improve the efficiency of solving eigenvalue problems by finite element method.Comment: 16 pages, 5 figure

A Parallel Method for Population Balance Equations Based on the Method of Characteristics

In this paper, we present a parallel scheme to solve the population balance equations based on the method of characteristics and the finite element discretization. The application of the method of characteristics transform the higher dimensional population balance equation into a series of lower dimensional convection-diffusion-reaction equations which can be solved in a parallel way.Some numerical results are presented to show the accuracy and efficiency.Comment: 10 pages, 0 figur

Localization of U(1)U(1) gauge vector field on flat branes with five-dimension (asymptotic) AdS5_{5} spacetime

In order to localize $U(1)$ gauge vector field on Randall-Sundrum-like braneworld model with infinite extra dimension, we propose a new kind of non-minimal coupling between the $U(1)$ gauge field and the gravity. We propose three kinds of coupling methods and they all support the localization of zero mode. In addition, one of them can support the localization of massive modes. Moreover, the massive tachyonic modes can be excluded. And our method can be used not only in the thin braneword models but also in the thick ones.Comment: Added acknowledgments to the refree.

Transformation of the Self in Desire under the Elms

As a masterpiece of Eugene O’Neill, Desire under the Elms challenges the limitation of time and interpretation.  Employing Charles Taylor’s theories of ethics, the author explores the moral state of the main characters in the play. Though deeply influenced by the dominant culture of utilitarianism, Eben and Abbie can’t find happiness in pure material possession and physical pleasure. In their competition for wealth, they come to recognize a more enduring power that may bring purgation to greediness and spiritual fulfilment, that is, the good originated from Christianity. Inspired by the power of this good – the other-regarding love, both Eben and Abbie give up selfishness and material desire and gradually achieve a self transformation. The changes that occur on the two characters reveal one of O’Neill’s major concerns in his dramatic creation: the moral confusion of modern man in America.Key words:  Eugene O’Neill; ethics; the good; utilitarianis
