In this paper, we develop the high order weighted essentially non-oscillatory (WENO) schemes for solving the Degasperis-Procesi (DP) equation, including finite volume (FV) and finite difference (FD) methods. The DP equation contains nonlinear high order derivatives, and possibly discontinuous or sharp transition solutions. The finite volume method is de- signed based on the total variation bounded property of the DP equation. And the finite difference method is constructed based on the L2 stability of the DP equation. Due to the adoption of the WENO reconstruction, both schemes are arbitrary high order accuracy and shock capturing. 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.

We formulate and prove a log-algebraicity theorem for arbitrary rank Drinfeld modules dened over the polynomial ring Fq[\theta]. This generalizes results of Anderson for the rank one case. As an application we show that certain special values of Goss L-functions are linear forms in Drinfeld logarithms and are transcendental.
