In this paper we describe a machinery for homological calculations of representations of FI_G, and use it to develop a local cohomology theory over any commutative Noetherian ring. As an application, we show that the depth introduced by the second author coincides with a more classical invariant from commutative algebra, and obtain upper bounds of a few important invariants of FI_G-modules in terms of torsion degrees of their local cohomology groups.

This note considers the hyper-contractivity and the uniqueness of the weak solutions to the two dimensional Keller–Segel equations. We prove a refined hyper-contractive property and consequently obtain the uniqueness of global weak solutions provided that the initial data satisfy , and . We also extend the result to higher dimensions.

In this paper, we propose a new stabilized linear finite element method for solving reaction-convection-diffusion equations with arbitrary magnitudes of reaction and diffusion. The key feature of the new method is that the test function in the stabilization term is taken in the adjoint-operator-like form $-\varepsilon \Delta v- ({\mbf a}\cdot\nabla v)/\gamma+\sigma v$, where the parameter $\gamma$ is appropriately designed to adjust the convection strength to achieve high accuracy and stability. We derive the stability estimates for the finite element solutions and establish the explicit dependence of $L^2$ and $H^1$ error bounds on the diffusivity, modulus of the convection field, reaction coefficient and the mesh size. The analysis shows that the proposed method is suitable for a wide range of mesh P\'{e}clet numbers and mesh Damk\"{o}hler numbers. More specifically, if the diffusivity $\varepsilon$ is sufficiently small with $\varepsilon < \Vert{\mbf a}\Vert h$ and the reaction coefficient $\sigma$ is large enough such that $\Vert{\mbf a}\Vert < \sigma h$, then the method exhibits optimal convergence rates in both $L^2$ and $H^1$ norms. However, for a small reaction coefficient satisfying $\Vert{\mbf a}\Vert \ge \sigma h$, the method behaves like the well-known streamline upwind/Petrov-Galerkin formulation of Brooks and Hughes. Several numerical examples exhibiting boundary or interior layers are given to demonstrate the high performance of the proposed method. Moreover, we apply the developed method to time-dependent reaction-convection-diffusion problems and simulation results show the efficiency of the approach.
