In this paper, we develop, analyze and test the Fourier spectral methods for solving the Degasperis-Procesi(DP) equation which contains nonlinear high order derivatives, and possibly discontinuous or sharp transition solutions. The $L^2$ stability is obtained for general numerical solutions of the Fourier Galerkin method and Fourier collocation (pseudospectral) method.By applying the Gegenbauer reconstruction technique as a post-processing method to the Fourier spectral solution, we reduce the oscillations arising from the discontinuity successfully. The numerical simulation results for different types of solutions of the nonlinear Degasperis-Procesi equation are provided to illustrate the accuracy and capability of the methods.

The first author constructed a q-parameterized spherical category $\sC$ over C(q) in [Liu15], whose simple objects are labelled by all Young diagrams. In this paper, we compute closed-form expressions for the fusion rule of $\sC$, using Littlewood-Richardson coefficients, as well as the characters (including a generating function), using symmetric functions with infinite variables.

The nth power of the volume functional Vnof polytopes P in R^n, according to dimensions of the spaces spanned by any nunit outer normal vectors of P, is decomposed into nhomogeneous polynomials of degree n. A set of new sharp affine isoperimetric inequalities for these volume decomposition functionals in R^3 are established, which essentially characterize the geometric and algebraic structures of polytopes.
