In this paper, we consider the L p dual Minkowski problem by geometric variational method. Using anisotropic Gauss–Kronecker curvature flows, we establish the existence of smooth solutions of the L p dual Minkowski problem when pq ≥ 0 and the given data is even. If f ≡ 1, we show under some restrictions on p and q that the only even, smooth, uniformly convex solution is the unit ball.

In this paper, we present a staggered discontinuous Galerkin immersed boundary method (SDGIBM) for the numerical approximation of fluid-structure interaction. The immersed boundary method is used to model the fluid-structure interaction, while the fluid flow is governed by incompressible Navier-Stokes equations. One advantage of using Galerkin method over the finite difference method with immersed boundary method is that we can avoid approximations of the Dirac Delta function. Another key ingredient of our method is that our solver for incompressible Navier-Stokes equations combines the advantages of discontinuous Galerkin methods and staggered meshes, and results in many good properties, namely local and global conservations and pointwise divergence-free velocity field by a local postprocessing technique. Furthermore, energy stability is improved by a skew-symmetric discretization of the convection term. We will present numerical results to show the performance of the method.
