Some uniqueness and continuous dependence theorems for nonlinear elastodynamics in exterior domains

AMS (MOS) Nos. 73C50, 73C15; 35B30, 35M05

Uniqueness and Höolder continuous dependence upon the initial data of the null solution to the initial boundary value problem of nonlinear hyperelasticity are proved for exterior domains subject to mild asymptotic behaviour on the displacement, velocity and stress components. The strain-energy is not required to be locally sign-definite although at sufficiently large spatial distances it must be non-negative. Other limitations imposed on the strain-energy become identically satisfied upon reduction to the linear theory.     

Periodic perturbations of a class of resonant problems

We study the existence of solution for nonlinear problems at resonance under Dirichlet boundary conditions. We deal with PDE's as well as systems of ODE's. The nonlinear terms considered are periodic functions: in particular, the problem is strongly resonant at infinity. By means of variational methods, we prove nondegeneracy under some hypotheses on the nonlinearities.

Global regular and singular solutions for a model of gravitating particles

The existence of solutions of a nonlinear parabolic equation describing the gravitational interaction of particles is studied for the initial data in spaces of (generalized) pseudomeasures. This approach permits us to relax regularity assumptions on the initial conditions and to prove asymptotic stability results for the above problem.Mathematics Subject Classification (2000):35B40, 35K15, 82C21

Abstract In [3] Dias and Figueira have reported that the square of the solution for the nonlinear Dirac equation satisfies the linear wave equation in one space dimension. So the aim of this paper is to proceed with their work and to clarify a structure of the nonlinear Dirac equation. The explicit solutions to the nonlinear Dirac equation and Dirac-Klein-Gordon equation are obtained.

Hydrodynamic limit for ∇φ interface model on a wall

 We consider random evolution of an interface on a hard wall under periodic boundary conditions. The dynamics are governed by a system of stochastic differential equations of Skorohod type, which is Langevin equation associated with massless Hamiltonian added a strong repelling force for the interface to stay over the wall. We study its macroscopic behavior under a suitable large scale space-time limit and derive a nonlinear partial differential equation, which describes the mean curvature motion except for some anisotropy effects, with reflection at the wall. Such equation is characterized by an evolutionary variational inequality.

Boundary Hemivariational Inequalities of Hyperbolic Type and Applications

In this paper we examine two classes of nonlinear hyperbolic initial boundary value problems with nonmonotone multivalued boundary conditions characterized by the Clarke subdifferential. We prove two existence results for multidimensional hemivariational inequalities: one for the inequalities with relation between reaction and velocity and the other for the expressions containing the reaction–displacement law. The existence of weak solutions is established by using a surjectivity result for pseudomonotone operators and a priori estimates. We present also an example of dynamic viscoelastic contact problem in mechanics which illustrate the applicability of our results.Mathematics Subject Classifications (2000). 34G20, 35A15, 35L85, 35L70, 74H20     

Solvability of the Direct and Inverse Problems for the Nonlinear Schrödinger Equation

In this paper we study rigorous spectral theory and solvability for both the direct and inverse problems of the Dirac operator associated with the nonlinear Schrödinger equation. We review known results and techniques, as well as incorporating new ones, in a comprehensive, unified framework. We identify functional spaces in which both direct and inverse problems are well posed, have a unique solution and the corresponding direct and inverse maps are one to one.Mathematics Subject Classifications (2000) 34A55, 35Q55.     

Relation between Different Types of Global Attractors of Set-Valued Nonautonomous Dynamical Systems

The article is devoted to the study of the relation between forward and pullback attractors of set-valued nonautonomous dynamical systems (cocycles). Here it is proved that every compact global forward attractor is also a pullback attractor of the set-valued nonautonomous dynamical system. The inverse statement, generally speaking, is not true, but we prove that every global pullback attractor of an α-condensing set-valued cocycle is always a local forward attractor. The obtained general results are applied while studying periodic and homogeneous systems. We give also a new criterion of the absolute asymptotic stability of nonstationary discrete linear inclusions.

In a critical case we study the asymptotics (at large time) of a solution of the nonlinear Schrödinger equation. This solution arises in a series of problems when accounting for the nonlinear effects near caustics. The asymptotics is described in terms of the second Painlevé transcendent.

A modified integral equation method of the semilinear backward heat problem

The paper is concerned with the non-linear backward heat equation in the rectangle domain. The problem is severely ill-posed. We shall use a modified integral equation method to regularize the nonlinear problem. The error estimates of Hölder type of the regularized solutions are obtained. Numerical results are presented to illustrate the accuracy and efficiency of the method. This work is a generalization of many earlier papers, including the recent paper [D.D. Trong, N.H. Tuan, Regularization and error estimate for the nonlinear backward heat problem using a method of integral equation, Nonlinear Anal. 71 (9) (2009) 4167-4176].     

Finite-difference solution of a nonlinear initial-boundary-value problem for a nonlinear parabolic equation of second order

An implicit finite-difference scheme is constructed for solving a nonlinear initial-boundary-value problem for a nonlinear homogeneous parabolic equation of second order with a nonlinear boundary condition that contains the time derivative of the sought function. The results are used for numerical solution of the mathematical model of internal-diffusion kinetics of adsorption from a constant bounded volume.Translated from Vychislitel'naya i Prikladnaya Matematika, No. 65, pp. 34–46, 1988.     

A Probabilistic Approach for Nonlinear Equations Involving the Fractional Laplacian and a Singular Operator

We consider a class of nonlinear integro-differential equations involving a fractional power of the Laplacian and a nonlocal quadratic nonlinearity represented by a singular integral operator. Initially, we introduce cut-off versions of this equation, replacing the singular operator by its Lipschitz continuous regularizations. In both cases we show the local existence and global uniqueness in L¹L^p. Then we associate with each regularized equation a stable-process-driven nonlinear diffusion; the law of this nonlinear diffusion has a density which is a global solution in L¹ of the cut-off equation. In the next step we remove the cut-off and show that the above densities converge in a certain space to a solution of the singular equation. In the general case, the result is local, but under a more stringent balance condition relating the dimension, the power of the fractional Laplacian and the degree of the singularity, it is global and gives global existence for the original singular equation. Finally, we associate with the singular equation a nonlinear singular diffusion and prove propagation of chaos to the law of this diffusion for the related cut-off interacting particle systems. Depending on the nature of the singularity in the drift term, we obtain either a strong pathwise result or a weak convergence result. Mathematics Subject Classifications (2000) 60K35, 35S10.     

Gauge-invariant description of several (2+1)-dimensional integrable nonlinear evolution equations

We obtain new gauge-invariant forms of two-dimensional integrable systems of nonlinear equations: the Sawada-Kotera and Kaup-Kuperschmidt system, the generalized system of dispersive long waves, and the Nizhnik-Veselov-Novikov system. We show how these forms imply both new and well-known twodimensional integrable nonlinear equations: the Sawada-Kotera equation, Kaup-Kuperschmidt equation, dispersive long-wave system, Nizhnik-Veselov-Novikov equation, and modified Nizhnik-Veselov-Novikov equation. We consider Miura-type transformations between nonlinear equations in different gauges. __________ Translated from Teoreticheskaya i Matematicheskaya Fizika, Vol. 160, No. 1, pp. 35–48, July, 2009.     

An Algorithm for image removals and decompositions without inverse matrices

Partial Differential Equation (PDE) based methods in image processing have been actively studied in the past few years. One of the effective methods is the method based on a total variation introduced by Rudin, Oshera and Fatemi (ROF) [L.I. Rudin, S. Osher, E. Fatemi, Nonlinear total variation based noise removal algorithms, Physica D 60 (1992) 259–268]. This method is a well known edge preserving model and an useful tool for image removals and decompositions. Unfortunately, this method has a nonlinear term in the equation which may yield an inaccurate numerical solution. To overcome the nonlinearity, a fixed point iteration method has been widely used. The nonlinear system based on the total variation is induced from the ROF model and the fixed point iteration method to solve the ROF model is introduced by Dobson and Vogel [D.C. Dobson, C.R. Vogel, Convergence of an iterative method for total variation denoising, SIAM J. Numer. Anal. 34 (5) (1997) 1779–1791]. However, some methods had to compute inverse matrices which led to roundoff error. To address this problem, we developed an efficient method for solving the ROF model. We make a sequence like Richardson’s method by using a fixed point iteration to evade the nonlinear equation. This approach does not require the computation of inverse matrices. The main idea is to make a direction vector for reducing the error at each iteration step. In other words, we make the next iteration to reduce the error from the computed error and the direction vector.     

Traveling waves in a generalized nonlinear dispersive–dissipative equation

D. Zeidan In this paper, we consider the existence of traveling waves in a generalized nonlinear dispersive–dissipative equation, which is found in many areas of application including waves in a thermoconvective liquid layer and nonlinear electromagnetic waves. By using the theory of dynamical systems, specifically based on geometric singular perturbation theory and invariant manifold theory, Fredholm theory, and the linear chain trick, we construct a locally invariant manifold for the associated traveling wave equation and use this invariant manifold to obtain the traveling waves for the nonlinear dispersive–dissipative equation.

Nonlinear longitudinal waves in inhomogeneous rods

The work contains two basic results. The first consists in the derivation of an equation for the longitudinal vibrations of a rod which accounts for both nonlinear and dispersion effects as well as effects caused by the inhomogeneity of the material of the rod. This equation is found to be a perturbed Korteweg-de Vries equation. The second result consists in the development of a perturbation method for solving the Cauchy problem for this equation. The solution found describes the deformation of a soliton under the influence of the inhomogeneity of the rod.Translated from Zapiski Nauchnykh Seminarov Leningradskogo Otdeleniya Matematicheskogo Instituta im.

On the infrared behavior of the gluon propagator

Within the framework of gluodynamics, the well-known truncated Schwinger-Dyson equation for the gluon propagator is considered. The general case of power infrared behavior with noninteger exponents is investigated. The technique of extracting nonleading terms of the nonlinear integral equation, defined only by the infrared behavior of the propagator, is developed. The characteristic equation for the exponent is obtained and the interval of its values –1 c 3 is studied. It is shown that the equation for the gluon propagator in question has no solutions for the noninteger and nonhalf-integer power infrared behavior.Translated from Teoreticheskaya i Matematicheskaya Fizika, Vol. 106, No. 2, pp. 250–263, February, 1996.
