First we define the dyadic Hardy space$H$_{$X$}$(d)$for an arbitrary rearrangement invariant space$X$on [0, 1]. We remark that previously only a definition of$H$_{$X$}$(d)$for$X$with the upper Boyd index$q$_{$x$}<∞ was available. Then we get a natural description of the dual space of$H$_{$x$}, in the case$X$having the property 1<-$p$_{$X$}<-$q$_{$X$}<2, imporoving an earlier result [P1].

Simulation of electromagnetic wave propagation in metamaterials leads to more complicated time domain Maxwell's equations than the standard Maxwell's equations in free space. In this paper, we develop and analyze a non-dissipative discontinuous Galerkin (DG) method for solving the Maxwell's equations in Drude metamaterials. Previous discontinuous Galerkin methods in the literature for electromagnetic wave propagation in metamaterials were either non-dissipative but sub-optimal, or dissipative and optimal. Our method uses a different and simple choice of numerical fluxes, achieving provable non-dissipative stability and optimal error estimates simultaneously. We prove the stability and optimal error estimates for both semi- and fully discrete DG schemes, with the leap-frog time discretization for the fully discrete case. Numerical results are given to demonstrate that the DG method can solve metamaterial Maxwell's equations effectively.

In this paper, we establish the existence theory for general system of hyperbolic conservation laws and obtain the uniform <i>L</i> _<i>1</i> boundness for the solutions. The existence theory generalizes the classical Glimm theory for systems, for which each characteristic field is either genuinely nonlinear or linearly degenerate in the sense of Lax. We construct the solutions by the Glimm scheme through the wave tracing method. One of the key elements is a new way of measuring the potential interaction of the waves of the same characteristic family involving the angle between waves. A new analysis is introduced to verify the consistency of the wave tracing procedure. The entropy functional is used to study the <i>L</i> _<i>1</i> boundedness.
