In this paper, we prove a conjecture of Kottwitz and Rapoport on a union of (generalized) affine Deligne-Lusztig varieties $X(\mu, b)_J$ for a $p$-adic group $G$ and its parahoric subgroup $P_J$. We show that $X(\mu, b)_J \neq \emptyset$ if and only if the group-theoretic version of Mazur's inequality is satisfied. In the process, we obtain a generalization of Grothendieck's conjecture on the closure relation of $\s$-conjugacy classes of a twisted loop group.

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.
