The local behaviors of the Hopf bifurcation in the free boundary problem satisfying the zero flux boundary condition was examined in [3]. In this paper, we shall examine the global behaviors for this problem and shall apply the center-index theory to show the globality.

In this paper, we consider a free boundary problem with Pushchino dynamics satisfying the Dirichlet boundary condition. We shall the stationary solutions ($v^{*}(x),s^{*}$) exist and the Hopf bifurcation occurs at a critical point when s $\in$ (1/3,1).

A free boundary problem is derived from a singular limit system of a reaction diffusion equation whose reaction terms are bistable type. In this paper, we shall consider a free boundary problem with two layers satisfying the zero flux boundary condition and shall show that the Hopf bifurcation can not occur as a parameter varies.

A hopf bifurcation of a free boundary (or an internal layer) occurs in solidification, chemical reactions and combustion. It is a well-known fact that a free boundary usually appear as sharp transitions with narrow width between two materials ([2]).

In this paper, we consider three-component reaction-diffusion system. With an integral condition and a global coupling, this system gives us an interesting free boundary problem. We shall examine the occurrence of a Hopf bifurcation and the stability of solutions as the global coupling constant varies. The main result is that a Hopf bifurcation occurs for global coupling and this motion is transferred to the stable motion for strong global coupling.

The free surface flow problem has been one of the most interesting and challenging topic in the area of the naval ship hydrodynamics and ocean engineering field. The problem has been treated mainly in the scope of the potential theory and its governing equation is well known Laplace equation. But in general, the exact solution to the problem is very difficult to obtain because of the nonlinearlity of the free surface boundary condition. Thus the linearized free surface problem has been treated often in the past. But as the computational power increases, there is a growing trend to solve the fully nonlinear free surface problem numerically. In the present study, a time-dependent finite element method is developed to solve the problem. The initial-boundary problem is formulated and replaced by an equivalent variational formulation. Specifically, the computations are made for a highly nonlinear flow phenomena behind a transom stern ship and a vertical strut piercing the free surface.

A coupled method, that combines the Ritz method and the finite element (FE) method, is proposed to solve the vibration problem of rectangular thin and thick plates with general boundary conditions. The eigenvalue partial differential equation(s) of the plate is (are) first reduced to a set of eigenvalue ordinary differential equations by the application of the Ritz method. The resulting eigenvalue differential equations are then reduced to an eigenvalue algebraic equation system using the finite element method. The natural boundary conditions of the plate problem including the free edge and free corner boundary conditions are also implemented in a simple and accurate manner. Various boundary conditions including simply supported, clamped and free boundary conditions are considered. Comparisons with existing numerical and analytical solutions show that the proposed mixed method can produce highly accurate results for the problems considered using a small number of Ritz terms and finite elements. The proposed mixed Ritz-FE formulation is also compared with the mixed FE-Ritz formulation which has been recently proposed by the present author and his co-author. It is found that the proposed mixed Ritz-FE formulation is more efficient than the mixed FE-Ritz formulation for free vibration analysis of rectangular plates with Levy-type boundary conditions.
