An Initial and Boundary Value Problem Modeling Fish-like Swimming

In this paper we consider an initial and boundary value problem modeling the self-propelled motion of solids in a bi-dimensional viscous incompressible uid. The self-propelling mechanism, consisting in appropriate deformations of the solids, is a simpli ed model for the propulsion mechanism of sh-like swimmers. The governing equations are composed of the Navier-Stokes equations for the uid, cou...

Solutions of initial and boundary value problems via F-contraction mappings in metric-like space

We present sufficient conditions for the existence of solutions of second-order two-point boundary value and fractional order functional differential equation problems in a space where self distance is not necessarily zero. For this, first we introduce a Ciric type generalized F-contraction and F- Suzuki contraction in a metric-like space and give relevance to fixed point results. To illustrate...

Modeling, simulation and control of fish-like swimming

The modeling and simulation of fish-like swimming is of interest in life sciences as well as in engineering applications. Understanding the mechanics of swimming can help clarifying some aspects of the evolution and of the physiology of aquatic organisms. In engineering, the study and optimisation of aquatic locomotion can improve the design of underwater vehicles having superior manouvering ca...

Initial-Boundary Value Problem for Hyperbolic Equations

where Ji = 0 for x0 < 0. The problem is to find necessary and sufficient conditions on B(x, B) such that the initial-boundary value problem (1), (2), (3) is well-posed. Note that all theorems that a;re formulated below will also apply to the case when (1) is a general hyperbolic equation or a hyperbolic system of equations of arbitrary order provided that all components of the characteristic co...
