Transformation of an axialsymmetric disk problem for the helmholtz equation into an ordinary differential equation

The problem of solving the three-dimensional Helmholtz equation in the exterior of a circular disk is considered where radially symmetric Dirichlet data on the disk are assumed to be prescribed. This problem for example arises in the scattering of plane (sound) waves at an infinite plane screen with a circular aperture if the direction of the incident wave is normal to the screen, as well as in the process of diffusion through a circular hole. By applying the factorization technique developed in [N. GORENFLO, M. WERNER,Solution of a finite convolution equation with a Hankel kernel by matrix factorization, SIAM J. Math. Anal., 28 (1997), pp. 434–451] to the disk problem an equivalent ordinary differential equation is derived, whose solution leads directly to the solution of the disk problem. This differential equation belongs to a class of ordinary differential equations which are of higher complexity than the standard ordinary differential equations of mathematical physics. The examination of this new class of differential equations therefore is motivated.     

Antiplane periodic contact problems fora layer non-uniform along its thickness

Antiplane periodic contact problems for an elastic layer with a shear modulus which variesexponentially along its thickness are considered. The problems are reduced to an integral equation of the first kind with an irregular, periodic, difference kernel. A method which has been described previously [1,2] is used for the approximate solution of this equation.     

A Functional Equation Whose Unknown is \mathcal{P}([0,1]) Valued

We study a functional equation whose unknown maps a Euclidean space into the space of probability distributions on [0,1]. We prove existence and uniqueness of its solution under suitable regularity and boundary conditions, we show that it depends continuously on the boundary datum, and we characterize solutions that are diffuse on [0,1]. A canonical solution is obtained by means of a Randomly Reinforced Urn with different reinforcement distributions having equal means. The general solution to the functional equation defines a new parametric collection of distributions on [0,1] generalizing the Beta family.     

On Taylor-series expansion methods for the second kind integral equations

In this paper, we comment on the recent papers by Yuhe Ren et al. (1999) [1] and Maleknejad et al. (2006) [7] concerning the use of the Taylor series to approximate a solution of the Fredholm integral equation of the second kind as well as a solution of a system of Fredholm equations. The technique presented in Yuhe Ren et al. (1999) [1] takes advantage of a rapidly decaying convolution kernel k(|s−t|) as |s−t| increases. However, it does not apply to equations having other types of kernels. We present in this paper a more general Taylor expansion method which can be applied to approximate a solution of the Fredholm equation having a smooth kernel. Also, it is shown that when the new method is applied to the Fredholm equation with a rapidly decaying kernel, it provides more accurate results than the method in Yuhe Ren et al. (1999) [1]. We also discuss an application of the new Taylor-series method to a system of Fredholm integral equations of the second kind.     

On the regularity of solutions to integral equations with nonsmooth kernels on a union of open intervals

The behaviour of a solution to a Fredholm integral equation of the second kind on a union of open intervals is examined. The kernel of the corresponding integral operator may have diagonal singularities, information about them is given through certain estimates. The weighted spaces of smooth functions with boundary singularities containing the solution of the integral equation are described.     

Toeplitz matrix method and nonlinear integral equation of Hammerstein type

The existence and uniqueness solution of the nonlinear integral equation of Hammerstein type with discontinuous kernel are discussed. The normality and continuity of the integral operator are proved. Toeplitz matrix method is used, as a numerical method, to obtain a nonlinear system of algebraic equations. Also, many important theorems related to the existence and uniqueness of the produced algebraic system are derived. Finally, numerical examples, when the kernel takes a logarithmic and Carleman forms, are discussed and the estimate error, in each case, is calculated.     

A boundary preserving numerical algorithm for the Wright-Fisher model with mutation

The Wright-Fisher model is an It? stochastic differential equation that was originally introduced to model genetic drift within finite populations and has recently been used as an approximation to ion channel dynamics within cardiac and neuronal cells. While analytic solutions to this equation remain within the interval [0,1], current numerical methods are unable to preserve such boundaries in the approximation. We present a new numerical method that guarantees approximations to a form of Wright-Fisher model, which includes mutation, remain within [0,1] for all time with probability one. Strong convergence of the method is proved and numerical experiments suggest that this new scheme converges with strong order 1/2. Extending this method to a multidimensional case, numerical tests suggest that the algorithm still converges strongly with order 1/2. Finally, numerical solutions obtained using this new method are compared to those obtained using the Euler-Maruyama method where the Wiener increment is resampled to ensure solutions remain within [0,1].     

Uncertainty quantification for random parabolic equations with nonhomogeneous boundary conditions on a bounded domain via the approximation of the probability density function

This paper deals with the randomized heat equation defined on a general bounded interval [L₁, L₂] and with nonhomogeneous boundary conditions. The solution is a stochastic process that can be related, via changes of variable, with the solution stochastic process of the random heat equation defined on [0,1] with homogeneous boundary conditions. Results in the extant literature establish conditions under which the probability density function of the solution process to the random heat equation on [0,1] with homogeneous boundary conditions can be approximated. Via the changes of variable and the Random Variable Transformation technique, we set mild conditions under which the probability density function of the solution process to the random heat equation on a general bounded interval [L₁, L₂] and with nonhomogeneous boundary conditions can be approximated uniformly or pointwise. Furthermore, we provide sufficient conditions in order that the expectation and the variance of the solution stochastic process can be computed from the proposed approximations of the probability density function. Numerical examples are performed in the case that the initial condition process has a certain Karhunen‐Loève expansion, being Gaussian and non‐Gaussian.

INTEGRAL REPRESENTATION OF NONLINEAR OPERATORS

A continuous linear functional on some function space can be represented by an integral which in its usual form is linear. In this paper, we give an integral representation of a nonlinear operator on the space C=C([0,1],X) of continuous functions on [0,1] with values in a Banach space X. This is done by means of a nonlinear integral using a kernel type function.     

The Ulm method under mild differentiability conditions

The Ulm method is considered to approximate a solution of a nonlinear operator equation F(x) = 0. We study the convergence of this method when F′ is ω-conditioned and prove that the R-order of convergence is at least 1 + p if ω is quasi-homogeneous of type ω(tz)≤ t ^p ω(z), for z > 0, tϵ[0,1] and pϵ[0,1]. Preparation of this paper was partly supported by the Ministry of Education and Science (MTM 2005-03091).     

The reproducing kernel method for solving the system of the linear Volterra integral equations with variable coefficients

In this paper, we apply the reproducing kernel method to give the exact solution and approximate solution for the system of the linear Volterra integral equations with variable coefficients. Some examples are given, showing its effectiveness and convenience. Finally, the numerical results obtained by the reproducing kernel method are superior to those obtained by other methods in Farshid Mirzaee (2010) [4], Tahmasbi and Fard (2008) [5], Saeed and Ahmed (2008) [8].     

The method of fictitious absorption in problems of the theory of elasticity for an inhomogeneous half-space2

The method of fictitious absorption [1–3] is generalized to a class of dynamic mixed problems of the theory of elasticity for a multilayered inhomogeneous half-space. The generalization is based on the use of numerical methods of solving integral equations of the first kind, which enables an exact representation of the symbols of the kernel of the integral operators to be employed and enables one to omit the approximation stage which is necessary when realizing the traditional scheme of the method of fictitious absorption. One thereby completely preserves all the dynamic features of the symbols of the kernel of the integral equation, including the branching points, which leads to a more complete consideration of the dynamic properties of the problem and, consequently, to an increase in the accuracy of the solution obtained in the result.
