The Riemann zeta function is a meromorphic functionon the whole complex plane. It has infinitely many zeros and aunique pole at s = 1. Those zeros at s = −2,−4,−6, . . . areknown as trivial zeros. The Riemann hypothesis, conjectured byBernhard Riemann in 1859, claims that all non-trivial zeros of ζ(s)lie on the line R(s) =12 . The density hypothesis is a conjecturede...

In this paper, based on the fractional Riccati equation, we propose an extended fractional Riccati sub-equation method for solving fractional partial differential equations. The fractional derivative is defined in the sense of the modified Riemann-Liouville derivative. By a proposed variable transformation, certain fractional partial differential equations are turned into fractional ordinary di...

Recently Aw, Rascle and Zhang introduced a second order model (ARZ) that does nor exhibit the usual drawbacks of this family of models, i.e. negative velocities and/or densities. In this paper we analyze the inhomogeous Riemann problem for this model, which is shown to be equivalent to the inhomogeous Riemann problem for a related first order model with modified equilibrium flow density relatio...

The effective and efficient numerical solution of Riemann–Hilbert problems has been demonstrated in recent work. With the aid of ideas from the method of nonlinear steepest descent for Riemann– Hilbert problems, the resulting numerical methods have been shown numerically to retain accuracy as values of certain parameters become arbitrarily large. The primary aim of this paper is to prove that t...

In this work, we deal with the 1D compressible fluid coupled with elastic solid in an Eulerian-Lagrangian system. To facilitate the analysis, the Naviers equation for elastic solid is cast into a 2×2 system similar to the Euler equation but in Lagrangian coordinate. The modified Ghost Fluid Method is employed to treat the fluid-elastic solid coupling, where an Eulerian-Lagrangian Riemann proble...

We consider FPU-type atomic chains with general convex potentials. The naive continuum limit in the hyperbolic space-time scaling is the p-system of mass and momentum conservation. We systematically compare Riemann solutions to the p-system with numerical solutions to discrete Riemann problems in FPU chains, and argue that the latter can be described by modified p-system Riemann solvers. We all...

De Bruijn and Newman introduced a deformation of the completed Riemann zeta function ζ, and proved there is a real constant Λ which encodes the movement of the nontrivial zeros of ζ under the deformation. The Riemann hypothesis is equivalent to the assertion that Λ ¤ 0. Newman, however, conjectured that Λ ¥ 0, remarking, “the new conjecture is a quantitative version of the dictum that the Riema...

In this paper we first briefly review the semi-analytical method [20] for solving the Derivative Riemann Problem for systems of hyperbolic conservation laws with source terms. Next, we generalize it to hyperbolic systems for which the Riemann problem solution is not available. As an application example we implement the new derivative Riemann solver in the high-order finite-volume ADER advection...

Consider a junction with n incoming and m outgoing roads. Along each road, the flow of traffic is described through the continuum model displaying phase transitions introduced in [5]. This note provides a Riemann solver for the resulting Riemann problem at the junction. 2000 Mathematics Subject Classification: 35L65, 90B10.
