On asymptotic stability of stationary solutions to nonlinear wave and Klein-Gordon equations

We consider nonlinear wave and Klein-Gordon equations with general nonlinear terms, localized in space. Conditions are found which provide asymptotic stability of stationary solutions in local energy norms. These conditions are formulated in terms of spectral properties of the Schrödinger operator corresponding to the linearized problem. They are natural extensions to partial differential equations of the known Lyapunov condition. For the nonlinear wave equation in three-dimensional space we find asymptotic expansions, as t, of the solutions which are close enough to a stationary asymptotically stable solution.     

The asymptotic theory of initial value problems for semilinear pertubed wave equations in two space dimensions

The asymptotic theory of initial value problems for semilinear ware equations in two space dimensions was dealt with. The well-posedness and vaildity of formal approximations on a long time scale were discussed in the twice continuous classical space. These results describe the behavior of long time existence for the validity of formal approximations. And an application of the asymptotic theory is given to analyze a special wave equation in two space dimensions.

Study of Two-Dimensional Axisymmetric Breathers Using Padé Approximants

We analyze axisymmetric, spatially localized standing wave solutions with periodic time dependence (breathers) of a nonlinear partial differential equation. This equation is derived in the 'continuum approximation' of the equations of motion governing the anti-phase vibrations of a two-dimensional array of weakly coupled nonlinear oscillators. Following an asymptotic analysis, the leading order approximation of the spatial distribution of the breather is shown to be governed by a two-dimensional nonlinear Schrödinger (NLS) equation with cubic nonlinearities. The homoclinic orbit of the NLS equation is analytically approximated by constructing [2N × 2N] Padé approximants, expressing the Padé coefficients in terms of an initial amplitude condition, and imposing a necessary and sufficient condition to ensure decay of the Padé approximations as the independent variable (radius) tends to infinity. In addition, a convergence study is performed to eliminate 'spurious' solutions of the problem. Computation of this homoclinic orbit enables the analytic approximation of the breather solution.     

Asymptotic Research of Nonlinear Wave Processes in Saturated Porous Media

The problem of nonlinear wave dynamics of a fluid-saturated porous medium is investigated. The mathematical model proposed is based on the classical Frenkel--Biot--Nikolaevskiy theory concerning elastic wave propagation and includes mass, momentum, energy conservation laws, as well as rheological and thermodynamic relations. The model describes nonlinear, dispersive, and dissipative medium. To solve the system of differential equations, an asymptotic modified two-scales method is developed and a Cauchy problem for initial equations system is transformed to a Cauchy problem for nonlinear generalized Korteweg--de Vries--Burgers equation for modulated quick wave amplitudes and an inhomogeneous set of equations for slow background motion. Stationary solutions of the derived evolutionary equation that have been constructed numerically reflect different regimes of elastic wave attenuation: diffusive, oscillating, and soliton-like.     

Exponential dichotomies of nonlinear discrete systems and its application to numerical analysis and computation

In this pepar we consider the upwind difference scheme of a kind of boundary value problems for nonlinear, second order, ordinary differential equations. Singular perturbation method is applied to construct the asymptotic approximation of the solution to the upwind difference equation. Using the theory of exponential dichotomies we show that the solution of an order-reduced equation is a good approximation of the solution to the upwind difference equation except near boundaries. We construct correctors which yield asymptotic approximations by adding them to the solution of the order-reduced equation. Finally, some numerical examples are illustrated.     

Initial-value problem for coupled Boussinesq equations and a hierarchy of Ostrovsky equations

We consider the initial-value problem for a system of coupled Boussinesq equations on the infinite line for localised or sufficiently rapidly decaying initial data, generating sufficiently rapidly decaying right- and left-propagating waves. We study the dynamics of weakly nonlinear waves, and using asymptotic multiple-scale expansions and averaging with respect to the fast time, we obtain a hierarchy of asymptotically exact coupled and uncoupled Ostrovsky equations for unidirectional waves. We then construct a weakly nonlinear solution of the initial-value problem in terms of solutions of the derived Ostrovsky equations within the accuracy of the governing equations, and show that there are no secular terms. When coupling parameters are equal to zero, our results yield a weakly nonlinear solution of the initial-value problem for the Boussinesq equation in terms of solutions of the initial-value problems for two Korteweg-de Vries equations, integrable by the Inverse Scattering Transform. We also perform relevant numerical simulations of the original unapproximated system of Boussinesq equations to illustrate the difference in the behaviour of its solutions for different asymptotic regimes.     

A CLASS OF NONLINEAR NONLOCAL SINGULARLY PERTURBED PROBLEMS FOR REACTION DIFFUSION EQUATIONS WITH BOUNDARY PERTURBATION

A class of nonlinear nonlocal for singularly perturbed Robin initial boundary value problems for reaction diffusion equations with boundary perturbation is considered. Under suitable conditions, first, the outer solution of the original problem was obtained. Secondly, using the stretched variable, the composing expansion method and the expanding theory of power series the initial layer was constructed. Finally, using the theory of differential inequalities the asymptotic behavior of solution for the initial boundary value problems was studied, and educing some relational inequalities the existence and uniqueness of solution for the original problem and the uniformly valid asymptotic estimation were discussed.     

Some extensions of the initial value problem for second order evolution equations

The initial problem for second order linear evolution equation systems is discussed by using the contraction semigroup theory. A kind of initial value problem for second order is also discussed with variable coefficients for evolution equations by using the analytical semigroup theory, and is unified with the solutions of the initial value problem for this class of equations and those of first order temporally inhomogeneous evolution equations. This is an important class of equations in mathematical mechanics.     

Singular perturbation for the weakly nonlinear reaction diffusion equation with boundary perturbation

In this paper, a class of nonlinear singularly perturbed initial boundary value problems for reaction diffusion equations with boundary perturbation are considered under suitable conditions. Firstly, by dint of the regular perturbation method, the outer solution of the original problem is obtained. Secondly, by using the stretched variable and the expansion theory of power series the initial layer of the solution is constructed. And then, by using the theory of differential inequalities, the asymptotic behavior of the solution for the initial boundary value problems is studied. Finally, using some relational inequalities the existence and uniqueness of solution for the original problem and the uniformly valid asymptotic estimation are discussed.     

Evolving Graphs by Singular Weighted Curvature

A new notion of solutions is introduced to study degenerate nonlinear parabolic equations in one space dimension whose diffusion effect is so strong at particular slopes of the unknowns that the equation is no longer a partial differential equation. By extending the theory of viscosity solutions, a comparison principle is established. For periodic continuous initial data a unique global continuous solution (periodic in space) is constructed. The theory applies to motion of interfacial curves by crystalline energy or more generally by anisotropic interfacial energy with corners when the curves are the graphs of functions. Even if the driving force term (homogeneous in space) exists, the initial-value problem is solvable for general nonadmissible continuous (periodic) initial data. (Accepted July 5, 1996)

A uniform asymptotic analysis of dispersive wave motion

The signaling problem for the one dimensional Klein-Gordon equation with spatially varying coefficients is analyzed. A formal, uniformly valid, asymptotic expansion of the solution is obtained with the help of two families of rays, and involving four functions : two successive Bessel functions of integer order and two new functions which we call the diffraction functions. The validity of the expansion is established when the coefficients in the Klein-Gordon equation are constants, and the results are applied to a signaling problem for a class of acoustic wave guides.

Convergence of Anisotropically Decaying Solutions of a Supercritical Semilinear Heat Equation

We consider the Cauchy problem for a semilinear heat equation with a supercritical power nonlinearity. It is known that the asymptotic behavior of solutions in time is determined by the decay rate of their initial values in space. In particular, if an initial value decays like a radial steady state, then the corresponding solution converges to that steady state. In this paper we consider solutions whose initial values decay in an anisotropic way. We show that each such solution converges to a steady state which is explicitly determined by an average formula. For a proof, we first consider the linearized equation around a singular steady state, and find a self-similar solution with a specific asymptotic behavior. Then we construct suitable comparison functions by using the self-similar solution, and apply our previous results on global stability and quasi-convergence of solutions.

On a Rayleigh Wave Equation with Boundary Damping

In this paper an initial-boundary value problem for a weakly nonlinear string (or wave) equation with non-classical boundary conditions is considered. One end of the string is assumed to be fixed and the other end of the string is attached to a dashpot system, where the damping generated by thedashpot is assumed to be small. This problem can be regarded as a simple model describing oscillations of flexible structures such as overhead transmission lines in a windfield. An asymptotic theory for a class ofinitial-boundary value problems for nonlinear wave equations is presented. Itwill be shown that the problems considered are well-posed for all time t. A multiple time-scales perturbation method incombination with the method of characteristics will be used to construct asymptotic approximations of the solution. It will also be shown that all solutions tend to zero for a sufficiently large value of the damping parameter. For smaller values of the damping parameter it will be shown how the string-system eventually will oscillate. Some numerical results are alsopresented in this paper.     

Evolution of Phase Boundaries by Configurational Forces

An initial boundary value problem modeling the evolution of phase interfaces in materials showing martensitic transformations is studied. The model, which is derived rigorously from a sharp interface model with phase interfaces driven by configurational forces and which generalizes that model, consists of the equations of linear elasticity coupled with a nonlinear partial differential equation of hyperbolic character governing the evolution of the order parameter. It is proved that in one space dimension, global solutions exist for which the order parameter belongs to the space of functions of bounded variation. Other models for interface motion by martensitic transformations and by interface diffusion are suggested.     

ASYMPTOTIC NON-STABILITY AND BLOW-UP AT BOUNDARY FOR SOLUTIONS OF A FILTRATION EQUATION

For a class of nonlinear filtration equation with nonlinear second-third boundary value condition, it is shown that a priori boundary of the solution can be estimated and controlled by initial data and integral on the boundary of the region. The priori estimate of the solutions was established by iterative method. By using this estimate the solutions may blow-up on the boundary of the region and thus it may have asymptotic non-stability.
