Bernstein Ritz‐Galerkin method for solving an initial‐boundary value problem that combines Neumann and integral condition for the wave equation

In this article, the Ritz‐Galerkin method in Bernstein polynomial basis is implemented to give an approximate solution of a hyperbolic partial differential equation with an integral condition. We will deal here with a type of nonlocal boundary value problem, that is, the solution of a hyperbolic partial differential equation with a nonlocal boundary specification. The nonlocal conditions arise mainly when the data on the boundary cannot be measured directly. The properties of Bernstein polynomial and Ritz‐Galerkin method are first presented, then Ritz‐Galerkin method is used to reduce the given hyperbolic partial differential equation to the solution of algebraic equations. Illustrative examples are included to demonstrate the validity and applicability of the technique presented in this article. © 2009 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Use of radial basis functions for solving the second‐order parabolic equation with nonlocal boundary conditions

Nonlocal mathematical models appear in various problems of physics and engineering. In these models the integral term may appear in the boundary conditions. In this paper the problem of solving the one‐dimensional parabolic partial differential equation subject to given initial and nonlocal boundary conditions is considered. These kinds of problems have certainly been one of the fastest growing areas in various application fields. The presence of an integral term in a boundary condition can greatly complicate the application of standard numerical techniques. As a well‐known class of meshless methods, the radial basis functions are used for finding an approximation of the solution of the present problem.

Numerical solution of first‐order hyperbolic partial differential‐difference equation with shift

In this article, we continue the numerical study of hyperbolic partial differential‐difference equation that was initiated in (Sharma and Singh, Appl Math Comput 9 ). In Sharma and Singh, the authors consider the problem with sufficiently small shift arguments. The term negative shift and positive shift are used for delay and advance arguments, respectively. Here, we propose a numerical scheme that works nicely irrespective of the size of shift arguments. In this article, we consider hyperbolic partial differential‐difference equation with negative or positive shift and present a numerical scheme based on the finite difference method for solving such type of initial and boundary value problems. The proposed numerical scheme is analyzed for stability and convergence in L^∞ norm. Finally, some test examples are given to validate convergence, the computational efficiency of the numerical scheme and the effect of shift arguments on the solution.© 2009 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

On efficient numerical methods for an initial-boundary value problem with nonlocal boundary conditions

Many physical phenomena are modeled by nonclassical hyperbolic boundary value problems with nonlocal boundary conditions. In this paper, the problem of solving the one-dimensional wave equation subject to given initial and non-local boundary conditions is considered. These non-local conditions arise mainly when the data on the boundary cannot be measured directly. Several finite difference methods with low order have been proposed in other papers for the numerical solution of this one dimensional non-classic boundary value problem. Here, we derive a new family of efficient three-level algorithms with higher order to solve the wave equation and also use a Simpson formula with higher order to approximate the integral conditions. Additionally, the fourth-order formula is also adapted to nonlinear equations, in particular to the well-known nonlinear Klein–Gordon equations which many physical problems can be modeled with. Numerical results are presented and are compared with some existing methods showing the efficiency of the new algorithms.

Determination of a control function in three‐dimensional parabolic equations by Legendre pseudospectral method

A Legendre pseudospectral method is proposed for solving approximately an inverse problem of determining an unknown control parameter p(t) which is the coefficient of the solution u(x, y, z, t) in a diffusion equation in a three‐dimensional region. The diffusion equation is to be solved subject to suitably prescribed initial‐boundary conditions. The presence of the unknown coefficient p(t) requires an extra condition. This extra condition considered as the integral overspecification over the spacial domain. For discretizing the problem, after homogenization of the boundary conditions, we apply the Legendre pseudospectral method in a matrix based manner. As a results a system of nonlinear differential algebraic equations is generated. Then by using suitable transformation, the problem will be converted to a homogeneous time varying system of linear ordinary differential equations. Also a pseudospectral method for efficient solving of the resulted system of ordinary differential equations is proposed. The solution of this system gives the approximation to values of u and p. The matrix based structure of the present method makes it easy to implement. Numerical experiments are presented to demonstrate the accuracy and the efficiency of the proposed computational procedure. © 2010 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Existence and convergence of Galerkin approximation for second order hyperbolic equations with memory term

We study a second order hyperbolic initial‐boundary value partial differential equation (PDE) with memory that results in an integro‐differential equation with a convolution kernel. The kernel is assumed to be either smooth or no worse than weakly singular, that arise for example, in linear and fractional order viscoelasticity. Existence and uniqueness of the spatial local and global Galerkin approximation of the problem is proved by means of Picard's iteration. Then, spatial finite element approximation of the problem is formulated, and optimal order a priori estimates are proved by the energy method. The required regularity of the solution, for the optimal order of convergence, is the same as minimum regularity of the solution for second order hyperbolic PDEs. Spatial rate of convergence of the finite element approximation is illustrated by a numerical example. © 2015 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. Numer Methods Partial Differential Eq 32: 548–563, 2016     

Composite spectral method for solution of the diffusion equation with specification of energy

Many physical subjects are modeled by nonclassical parabolic boundary value problems with nonlocal boundary conditions replacing the classic boundary conditions. In this article, we introduce a new numerical method for solving the one‐dimensional parabolic equation with nonlocal boundary conditions. The approximate proposed method is based upon the composite spectral functions. The properties of composite spectral functions consisting of terms of orthogonal functions are presented and are utilized to reduce the problem to some algebraic equations. The method is easy to implement and yields very accurate result. © 2007 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. Numer Methods Partial Differential Eq, 2008     

Stochastic functional differential equations modelling materials with selective recall

We study a problem in stochastic functional differential equations which, in addition to a standard one-one-parameter noise term involves a random perturbation of the memory. This problem can also be regarded as a first order hyperbolic system of stochastic partial differential equations with given initial data and nonlocal boundary data. Existence and uniqueness of a solution is established and the generator of the associated Markov process is analyzed. Thereafter, for two model problems arising from first- and second-order integro-differential equations suggested by physical applications we establish asymptotic stability in probability of the associated stochastic processes.     

Solving hyperbolic conservation laws using multiquadric quasi‐interpolation

In this article, we apply the univariate multiquadric (MQ) quasi‐interpolation to solve the hyperbolic conservation laws. At first we construct the MQ quasi‐interpolation corresponding to periodic and inflow‐outflow boundary conditions respectively. Next we obtain the numerical schemes to solve the partial differential equations, by using the derivative of the quasi‐interpolation to approximate the spatial derivative of the differential equation and a low‐order explicit difference to approximate the temporal derivative of the differential equation. Then we verify our scheme for the one‐dimensional Burgers' equation (without viscosity). We can see that the numerical results are very close to the exact solution and the computational accuracy of the scheme is ??(τ), where τ is the temporal step. We can improve the accuracy by using the high‐order quasi‐interpolation. Moreover the methods can be generalized to the other equations. © 2005 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Fourth‐order compact scheme for the one‐dimensional sine‐Gordon equation

Finite difference scheme to the generalized one‐dimensional sine‐Gordon equation is considered in this paper. After approximating the second order derivative in the space variable by the compact finite difference, we transform the sine‐Gordon equation into an initial‐value problem of a second‐order ordinary differential equation. Then Padé approximant is used to approximate the time derivatives. The resulting fully discrete nonlinear finite‐difference equation is solved by a predictor‐corrector scheme. Both Dirichlet and Neumann boundary conditions are considered in our proposed algorithm. Stability analysis and error estimate are given for homogeneous Dirichlet boundary value problems using energy method. Numerical results are given to verify the condition for stability and convergence and to examine the accuracy and efficiency of the proposed algorithm. © 2008 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

The mathematical model of the three‐dimensional semiconductor devices of heat conduction is described by a system of four quasi‐linear partial differential equations for initial boundary value problem. One equation of elliptic form is for the electric potential; two equations of convection‐dominated diffusion type are for the electron and hole concentration; and one heat conduction equation is for temperature. Upwind finite difference fractional step methods are put forward. Some techniques, such as calculus of variations, energy method multiplicative commutation rule of difference operators, decomposition of high order difference operators, and the theory of prior estimates and techniques are adopted. Optimal order estimates in L² norm are derived to determine the error in the approximate solution.© 2007 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. Numer Methods Partial Differential Eq 2008
