Periodic problem for an evolution equation with a quadratic and a cubic nonlinearity

We study conditions for the existence of a solution of a periodic problem for a model nonlinear equation in the spatially multidimensional case and consider various types of large time asymptotics (exponential and oscillating) for such solutions. The generalized Kolmogorov-Petrovskii-Piskunov equation, the nonlinear Schrödinger equation, and some other partial differential equations are special cases of this equation. We analyze the solution smoothing phenomenon under certain conditions on the linear part of the equation and study the case of nonsmall initial data for a nonlinearity of special form. The leading asymptotic term is presented, and the remainder in the asymptotics of the solution is estimated in a spatially uniform metric.     

Convergence of the piecewise linear approximation and collocation method for a hypersingular integral equation on a closed surface

We study the numerical solution of a linear hypersingular integral equation arising when solving the Neumann boundary value problem for the Laplace equation by the boundary integral equation method with the solution represented in the form of a double layer potential. The integral in this equation is understood in the sense of Hadamard finite value. We construct quadrature formulas for the integral occurring in this equation based on a triangulation of the surface and an application of the linear approximation to the unknown function on each of the triangles approximating the surface. We prove the uniform convergence of the quadrature formulas at the interpolation nodes as the triangulation size tends to zero. A numerical solution scheme for this integral equation based on the suggested quadrature formulas and the collocation method is constructed. Under additional assumptions about the shape of the surface, we prove a uniform estimate for the error in the numerical solution at the interpolation nodes.     

On the decay of a solution of a nonuniformly parabolic equation

For a uniformly parabolic second-order equation with lower-order terms in an unbounded domain, we obtain an upper bound for the decay rate of the solution of the mixed problem with alternating boundary conditions of the first and third types. We prove that the bound is sharp in the case of an equation without lower-order terms in a wide class of domains of revolution. In addition, we show that a solution of a nonuniformly parabolic equation can decay much more rapidly than a solution of a uniformly parabolic equation.     

On the stability and the attraction domain of the stationary solution of a singularly perturbed parabolic equation with a multiple root of the degenerate equation

We construct and justify the asymptotics of a boundary layer solution of a boundary value problem for a singularly perturbed second-order ordinary differential equation for the case in which the degenerate (finite) equation has an identically double root. A specific feature of the asymptotics is the presence of a three-zone boundary layer. The solution of the boundary value problem is a stationary solution of the corresponding parabolic equation. We prove the asymptotic stability of this solution and find its attraction domain.     

On the convergence of a numerical method for a hypersingular integral equation on a closed surface

We consider a linear integral equation with a hypersingular integral treated in the sense of the Hadamard finite value. This equation arises in the solution of the Neumann boundary value problem for the Laplace equation with a representation of a solution in the form of a double-layer potential. We consider the case in which the interior or exterior boundary value problem is solved in a domain; whose boundary is a smooth closed surface, and an integral equation is written out on that surface. For the integral operator in that equation, we suggest quadrature formulas like the method of vortical frames with a regularization, which provides its approximation on the entire surface for the use of a nonstructured partition. We construct a numerical scheme for the integral equation on the basis of suggested quadrature formulas, prove an estimate for the norm of the inverse matrix of the related system of linear equations and the uniform convergence of numerical solutions to the exact solution of the hypersingular integral equation on the grid.     

Conditions for the existence of a global strong solution to a class of nonlinear evolution equations in a Hilbert space

We study a nonlinear operator differential equation in a Hilbert space. This equation represents an abstract model for the system of Navier-Stokes equations. The main result consists in proving the existence of a strong solution to this equation under the condition that a certain other system of equations (related to the original equation) has only the zero solution.     

On the existence and uniqueness of a solution of a linear stochastic differential equation with respect to a logarithmic process

We study the problem of existence and uniqueness of a solution of a linear stochastic differential equation with respect to a logarithmic process. For the conditional mathematical expectation of a solution, we obtain a partial differential equation.     

Inverse problem for a quasilinear hyperbolic equation with a nonlocal boundary condition containing a delay argument

We consider a problem for a quasilinear hyperbolic equation with a nonlocal condition that contains a retarded argument. By reducing this problem to a nonlinear integrofunctional equation, we prove the existence and uniqueness theorem for its solution. We pose an inverse problem of finding a solution-dependent coefficient of the equation on the basis of additional information on the solution; the information is given at a fixed point in space and is a function of time. We prove the uniqueness theorem for the solution of the inverse problem. The proof is based on the derivation and analysis of an integro-functional equation for the difference of two solutions of the inverse problem.     

A Generalization of a Volterra Integral Equation

Sufficient conditions for the existence of a solution to a non-linear Volterra integral equation are given for special cases of the general equation. In the generality given here, this equation has, apparently, not been studied before. The major technique used is the classical fixed point theorem of Banach. An apparent innovation of this article is the use of Banach's theorem to prove both the existence and find the location of a solution to the integral equation and prove the existence and find the location of the derivative to this solution, which exists almost everywhere. Furthermore, it is shown that for some particular choices of the constants, multiple solutions exist to this equation.

For a second order linear ordinary differential equation with a continual derivative, we construct a fundamental solution. By using the fundamental solution, we find the solution of the Cauchy problem for the considered equation.     

Dirichlet problem for a third-order equation of mixed type in a rectangular domain

For a third-order differential equation of parabolic-hyperbolic type, we suggest a method for studying the first boundary value problem by solving an inverse problem for a second-order equation of mixed type with unknown right-hand side. We obtain a uniqueness criterion for the solution of the inverse problem. The solution of the inverse problem and the Dirichlet problem for the original equation is constructed in the form of the sum of a Fourier series.     

Symmetry-based solution of a model for a combination of a risky investment and a riskless investment

Benth and Karlsen [F.E. Benth, K.H. Karlsen, A note on Merton's portfolio selection problem for the Schwartz mean-reversion model, Stoch. Anal. Appl. 23 (2005) 687-704] treated a problem of the optimisation of the selection of a portfolio based upon the Schwartz mean-reversion model. The resulting Hamilton-Jacobi-Bellman equation in 1+2 dimensions is quite nonlinear. The solution obtained by Benth and Karlsen was very ingenious. We provide a solution of the problem based on the application of the Lie theory of continuous groups to the partial differential equation and its associated boundary and terminal conditions.

We study the existence and uniqueness of a solution of the Bellman equation formalizing the operation of a manufacturing company under conditions of irregular demand and debt load. The class of functions where this equation has a unique solution is determined. The choice of a specific solution is justified.     

Solutions of a Nonhomogeneous Burgers Equation

In this article, we construct solutions of a nonhomogeneous Burgers equation subject to certain unbounded initial profiles. In an interesting study, Kloosterziel [ 1 ] represented the solution of an initial value problem (IVP) for the heat equation, with initial data in , as a series of the self‐similar solutions of the heat equation. This approach quickly revealed the large time behavior for the solution of the IVP. Inspired by Kloosterziel [ 1 ]'s approach, we express the solution of the nonhomogeneous Burgers equation in terms of the self‐similar solutions of a linear partial differential equation with variable coefficients. Finally, we also obtain the large time behavior of the solution of the nonhomogeneous Burgers equation.     

Existence and regularity of the solution of a mixed boundary value problem for the Keldysh equation with a nonlinear absorption term

The Keldysh equation is a more general form of the classic Tricomi equation from fluid dynamics. Its well-posedness and the regularity of its solution are interesting and important. The Keldysh equation is elliptic in y>0 and is degenerate at the line y=0 in R². Adding a special nonlinear absorption term, we study a nonlinear degenerate elliptic equation with mixed boundary conditions in a piecewise smooth domain—similar to the potential fluid shock reflection problem. By means of an elliptic regularization technique, a delicate a priori estimate and compact argument, we show that the solution of a mixed boundary value problem of the Keldysh equation is smooth in the interior and Lipschitz continuous up to the degenerate boundary under some conditions. We believe that this kind of regularity result for the solution will be rather useful.     

Blow-up and lifespan of solutions to a nonlocal parabolic equation at arbitrary initial energy level

We consider a nonlocal parabolic equation. By exploiting the boundary condition and the variational structure of the equation, we prove finite time blow-up of the solution for initial data at arbitrary energy level. We also obtain the lifespan of the blow-up solution. The results generalize the former studies on this equation.     

A comparison of the String Gradient Weighted Moving Finite Element method and a Parabolic Moving Mesh Partial Differential Equation method for solutions of partial differential equations

We compare numerical experiments from the String Gradient Weighted Moving Finite Element method and a Parabolic Moving Mesh Partial Differential Equation method, applied to three benchmark problems based on two different partial differential equations. Both methods are described in detail and we highlight some strengths and weaknesses of each method via the numerical comparisons. The two equations used in the benchmark problems are the viscous Burgers’ equation and the porous medium equation, both in one dimension. Simulations are made for the two methods for: a) a travelling wave solution for the viscous Burgers’ equation, b) the Barenblatt selfsimilar analytical solution of the porous medium equation, and c) a waiting-time solution for the porous medium equation. Simulations are carried out for varying mesh sizes, and the numerical solutions are compared by computing errors in two ways. In the case of an analytic solution being available, the errors in the numerical solutions are computed directly from the analytic solution. In the case of no availability of an analytic solution, an approximation to the error is computed using a very fine mesh numerical solution as the reference solution.
