The sine(hyperbolic)-Gordon hierarchy is shown to be the extension of the modified Korteweg-de Vries (MKdV) hierarchy in the integrodifferential algebra extending the standard differential algebra by means of one antiderivative. The characterization by vanishing residues of the MKdV hierarchy yields the same characterization of the sine(hyperbolic)-Gordon hierarchy in the integrodifferential algebra.

We prove the convergence of a discontinuous Galerkin method approximating the 2-D incompressible Euler equations with discontinuous initial vorticity:$omega_0 in L^2(Omega)$. Furthermore, when $omega_0 in L^infty(Omega)$, the whole sequence is shown to be strongly convergent. This is the first convergence result in numerical approximations of this general class of discontinuous flows. Some important flows such as vortex patches belong to this class.

Convergence of a second-order shock-capturing scheme for the system of isentropic gas dynamics with $ {L^\infty }$ initial data is established by analyzing the entropy dissipation measures. This scheme is modified from the classical MUSCL scheme to treat the vacuum problem in gas fluids and to capture local entropy near shock waves. Convergence of this scheme for the piston problem is also discussed.

In this paper we describe several characterizations of basic finite-dimensional k-algebras A stratified for all linear orders, and classify their graded algebras as tensor algebras satisfying some extra property. We also discuss whether for a given preorder ≼, F(≼Δ), the category of A-modules with ≼Δ-filtrations, is closed under cokernels of monomorphisms, and classify quasi-hereditary algebras satisfying this property.
