Functions orthogonal to polynomials and their application in axially symmetric problems in physics

We investigate properties of sets of functions comprising countably many elements A_n such that every function A_n is orthogonal to all polynomials of degrees less than n. We propose an effective method for solving Fredholm integral equations of the first kind whose kernels are generating functions for these sets of functions. We study integral equations used to solve some axially symmetric problems in physics. We prove that their kernels are generating functions that produce functions in the studied families and find these functions explicitly. This allows determining the elements of the matrices of systems of linear equations related to the integral equations for considering the physical problems.

Perov type results in gauge spaces and their applications to integral systems on semi-axis

In this paper we present Perov type fixed point theorems for contractive mappings in Gheorghiu’s sense on spaces endowed with a family of vector-valued pseudo-metrics. Applications to systems of integral equations are given to illustrate the theory. The examples also prove the advantage of using vector-alued pseudo-metrics and matrices that are convergent to zero, for the study of systems of equations.     

A method of explicit factorization of matrix functions and applications

A method of explicit factorization of matrix functions of second order is proposed. The method consists of reduction of this problem to two scalar barrier problems and a finite system of linear equations. Applications to various classes of singular integral equations and equations with Toeplitz and Hankel matrices are given.     

An extension of the Tau numerical algorithm for the solution of linear and nonlinear Lane–Emden equations

The purpose of this paper is to present a numerical algorithm for solving the Lane–Emden equations as singular initial value problems. The proposed algorithm is based on an operational Tau method (OTM). The main idea behind the OTM is to convert the desired problem to some operational matrices. Firstly, we use a special integral operator and convert the Lane–Emden equations to integral equations. Then, we use OTM to linearize the integral equations to some operational matrices and convert the problem to an algebraic system. The concepts, properties, and advantages of OTM and its application for solving Lane–Emden equations are presented. Some orthogonal polynomials are also used to reduce the volume of computations. Finally, several experiments of Lane–Emden equations including linear and nonlinear terms are given to illustrate the validity and efficiency of the proposed algorithm.

Application of semiorthogonal spline wavelets and the Galerkin method to the numerical simulation of thin wire antennas

The Bubnov-Galerkin method based on spline wavelets is used to solve singular integral equations. For the resulting systems of linear algebraic equations, the properties of their coefficient matrices are examined. Sparse approximations of these matrices are constructed by applying a cutting barrier. The results are used to numerically analyze thin wire antennas. Numerical results are presented.     

Conical diffraction by multilayer gratings: a recursive integral equation approach

The paper is devoted to an integral equation algorithm for studying the scattering of plane waves by multilayer diffraction gratings under oblique incidence. The scattering problem is described by a system of Helmholtz equations with piecewise constant coefficients in ?² coupled by special transmission conditions at the interfaces between different layers. Boundary integral methods lead to a system of singular integral equations, containing at least two equations for each interface. To deal with an arbitrary number of material layers we present the extension of a recursive procedure developed by Maystre for normal incidence, which transforms the problem to a sequence of equations with 2×2 operator matrices on each interface. Necessary and sufficient conditions for the applicability of the algorithm are derived.     

Maximal integral point sets in affine planes over finite fields

Motivated by integral point sets in the Euclidean plane, we consider integral point sets in affine planes over finite fields. An integral point set is a set of points in the affine plane over a finite field F_q, where the formally defined squared Euclidean distance of every pair of points is a square in F_q. It turns out that integral point sets over F_q can also be characterized as affine point sets determining certain prescribed directions, which gives a relation to the work of Blokhuis. Furthermore, in one important sub-case, integral point sets can be restated as cliques in Paley graphs of square order.In this article we give new results on the automorphisms of integral point sets and classify maximal integral point sets over F_q for q≤47. Furthermore, we give two series of maximal integral point sets and prove their maximality.

Numerical solution of nonlinear integral equations using alternative Legendre polynomials

In this paper, the operational matrices of integration and the product for the alternative Legendre polynomials (ALPs) are first derived. Then, using these operational matrices and the collocation method, the nonlinear Volterra–Fredholm–Hammerstein integral equations are reduced to a set of nonlinear algebraic equations with unknown ALP coefficients. Some error estimations are provided and the efficiency and accuracy is verified by applying the method to some examples chosen from other literature.     

Euler integral symmetries for the confluent Heun equation and symmetries of the Painlevé equation PV

Euler integral symmetries relate solutions of ordinary linear differential equations and generate integral representations of the solutions in several cases or relations between solutions of constrained equations. These relations lead to the corresponding symmetries of the monodromy matrices for the differential equations. We discuss Euler symmetries in the case of the deformed confluent Heun equation, which is in turn related to the Painlevé equation PV. The existence of symmetries of the linear equations leads to the corresponding symmetries of the Painlevé equation of the Okamoto type. The choice of the system of linear equations that reduces to the deformed confluent Heun equation is the starting point for the constructions. The basic technical problem is to choose the bijective relation between the system parameters and the parameters of the deformed confluent Heun equation. The solution of this problem is quite large, and we use the algebraic computing system Maple for this.     

Bifurcations of completely integrable 2-variable first-order partial differential equations

In this paper, we consider an implicit 2-variable first-order partial differential equation with complete integral. As an application of the Legendrian singularity theory, we give a generic classification of bifurcations of such differential equations with respect to the equivalence relation which is given by the group of point transformations following S. Lie?s view. Since two one-parameter unfoldings of such differential equations are equivalent if and only if induced one-parameter unfoldings of integral diagrams are equivalent for generic equations, our normal forms are represented by one-parameter integral diagrams.

On the approximate solution of some integral equations of the theory of elasticity and mathematical physics PMM vol. 31, no. 6, 1967, pp. 1117–1131

In this paper the development of the method presented in [1] is carried out with application to two types of integral equations encountered in mathematical physics in the investigation of many mixed problems with circular separation line of boundary conditions and in the investigation of plane mixed problems.

The algorithm is given for reducing these integral equations to solution of equivalent infinite linear algebraic systems. It is proved that the resulting infinite systems are quasi completely regular for sufficiently large values of dimensionless parameter A which enters into the systems. It is shown that reduction (truncation) of infinite systems results in finite systems of linear algebraic equations with almost triangular matrices. The last circumstance simplifies considerably the solution of these finite systems after which the solution of initial integral equations is found from simple equations. For given accuracy of the approximate solution and decrease of parameter λ the number of equations in reduced systems increases.

As an example the solution is presented for the axisymmetric problem of a die acting on an elastic layer lying without friction on a rigid foundation.     

On the numerical solution of linear and nonlinear volterra integral and integro-differential equations

Sinc bases are developed to approximate the solutions of linear and nonlinear Volterra integral and integro-differential equations. Properties of these sinc bases and some operational matrices are first presented. These properties are then used to reduce the integral and integro-differential equations to systems of linear or nonlinear algebraic equations. Numerical examples illustrate the pertinent features of the method and its applicability to a large variety of problems. The examples include convolution type, singular as well as singularly-perturbed problems.     

On a fixed point theorem in Banach algebras with applications

In this article it is shown that some of the hypotheses of a fixed point theorem of the present author [B.C. Dhage, On some variants of Schauder’s fixed point principle and applications to nonlinear integral equations, J. Math. Phys. Sci. 25 (1988) 603–611] involving two operators in a Banach algebra are redundant. Our claim is also illustrated with the applications to some nonlinear functional integral equations for proving the existence results.

Interaction of a hollow cylinder of finite length and a plate with a cylindrical cavity with a rigid insert

Two problems of the interaction of a hollow circular cylinder with load-free ends and an unbounded plate with a cylindrical cavity and a symmetrically imbedded rigid insert are considered. Homogeneous solutions are found and the generalized orthogonality of these solutions is used when the modified boundary conditions are satisfied. As a result, we have a system of two integral equations in functions of the displacements of the outer and inner surfaces of the hollow cylinder. These functions are sought in the form of sums of a trigonometric series and a power function with a root singularity. The ill-posed infinite systems of linear algebraic equations obtained are regularized by the introduction of small positive parameters. Since the elements of the matrices of the systems as well as the contact stresses are defined by poorly converging numerical and functional series, an efficient method for calculating of the remainders of the above-mentioned series is developed. Formulae are found for the contact pressure distribution function and the integral characteristic. Examples of the calculation of the interaction of the cylinder and the plate with an insert are given.The method of solving contact problems described here has been used earlier1, 2 and the generalized orthogonality of the solutions found for bodies of finite dimensions, that is, for a rectangle and cylinders of finite length, is its basis. Problems for hollow cylinders with a band ² and an insert reduce to a system of two integral equations, and the problem for a rectangle¹ reduces to one integral equation. Solving these integral equations, ill-posed systems of linear algebraic equations are obtained which are subject to regularization³.
