A Finite Difference Scheme for Blow-Up Solutions of Nonlinear Wave Equations

<正>We consider a finite difference scheme for a nonlinear wave equation,whose solutions may lose their smoothness in finite time,i.e.,blow up in finite time.In order to numerically reproduce blow-up solutions,we propose a rule for a time-stepping, which is a variant of what was successfully used in the case of nonlinear parabolic equations.A numerical blow-up time is defined and is proved to converge,under a certain hypothesis,to the real blow-up time as the grid size tends to zero.     

Implicit Shape Reconstruction of Unorganized Points Using PDE-Based Deformable 3D Manifolds

<正>In this work we consider the problem of shape reconstruction from an unorganized data set which has many important applications in medical imaging,scientific computing,reverse engineering and geometric modelling.The reconstructed surface is obtained by continuously deforming an initial surface following the Partial Differential Equation(PDE)-based diffusion model derived by a minimal volume-like variational formulation.The evolution is driven both by the distance from the data set and by the curvature analytically computed by it.The distance function is computed by implicit local interpolants defined in terms of radial basis functions.Space discretization of the PDE model is obtained by finite co-volume schemes and semi-implicit approach is used in time/scale.The use of a level set method for the numerical computation of the surface reconstruction allows us to handle complex geometry and even changing topology, without the need of user-interaction.Numerical examples demonstrate the ability of the proposed method to produce high quality reconstructions.Moreover,we show the effectiveness of the new approach to solve hole filling problems and Boolean operations between different data sets.

Multivariate quasi-tight framelets with high balancing orders derived from any compactly supported refinable vector functions

Generalizing wavelets by adding desired redundancy and flexibility,framelets(i.e.,wavelet frames)are of interest and importance in many applications such as image processing and numerical algorithms.Several key properties of framelets are high vanishing moments for sparse multiscale representation,fast framelet transforms for numerical efficiency,and redundancy for robustness.However,it is a challenging problem to study and construct multivariate nonseparable framelets,mainly due to their intrinsic connections to factorization and syzygy modules of multivariate polynomial matrices.Moreover,all the known multivariate tight framelets derived from spline refinable scalar functions have only one vanishing moment,and framelets derived from refinable vector functions are barely studied yet in the literature.In this paper,we circumvent the above difficulties through the approach of quasi-tight framelets,which behave almost identically to tight framelets.Employing the popular oblique extension principle(OEP),from an arbitrary compactly supported M-refinable vector functionφwith multiplicity greater than one,we prove that we can always derive fromφa compactly supported multivariate quasi-tight framelet such that:(i)all the framelet generators have the highest possible order of vanishing moments;(ii)its associated fast framelet transform has the highest balancing order and is compact.For a refinable scalar functionφ(i.e.,its multiplicity is one),the above item(ii)often cannot be achieved intrinsically but we show that we can always construct a compactly supported OEP-based multivariate quasi-tight framelet derived fromφsatisfying item(i).We point out that constructing OEP-based quasi-tight framelets is closely related to the generalized spectral factorization of Hermitian trigonometric polynomial matrices.Our proof is critically built on a newly developed result on the normal form of a matrix-valued filter,which is of interest and importance in itself for greatly facilitating the study of refinable vector functions and multiwavelets/multiframelets.This paper provides a comprehensive investigation on OEP-based multivariate quasi-tight multiframelets and their associated framelet transforms with high balancing orders.This deepens our theoretical understanding of multivariate quasi-tight multiframelets and their associated fast multiframelet transforms.

Poisson Stable Solutions for Stochastic Differential Equations with Lévy Noise

In this paper,we use a unified framework to study Poisson stable(including stationary,periodic,quasi-periodic,almost periodic,almost automorphic,Birkhoff recurrent,almost recurrent in the sense of Bebutov,Levitan almost periodic,pseudo-periodic,pseudo-recurrent and Poisson stable)solutions for semilinear stochastic differential equations driven by infinite dimensional L′evy noise with large jumps.Under suitable conditions on drift,diffusion and jump coefficients,we prove that there exist solutions which inherit the Poisson stability of coefficients.Further we show that these solutions are globally asymptotically stable in square-mean sense.Finally,we illustrate our theoretical results by several examples.

Nonconforming Finite Element Methods for the Constrained Optimal Control Problems Governed by Nonsmooth Elliptic Equations

In this paper,nonconforming finite element methods(FEMs)are proposed for the constrained optimal control problems(OCPs)governed by the nonsmooth elliptic equations,in which the popular EQr1 ot element is employed to approximate the state and adjoint state,and the piecewise constant element is used to approximate the control.Firstly,the convergence and superconvergence properties for the nonsmooth elliptic equation are obtained by introducing an auxiliary problem.Secondly,the goal-oriented error estimates are obtained for the objective function through establishing the negative norm error estimate.Lastly,the methods are extended to some other well-known nonconforming elements.     

A remark on stable subharmonic solutions of time-periodic reaction-diffusion equations

This paper is concerned with a time-periodic reaction-diffusion equation. It is known that typical trajectories approach periodic solutions with possibly longer period than that of the equation. Such solutions are called subharmonic solutions. In this paper, for any domain Ω, time-period τ>0 and integer n?2, we construct an example of a time-periodic reaction-diffusion equation on Ω with a minimal period τ which possesses a stable solution of minimal period nτ.     

Convergence to a Single Wave in the Fisher-KPP Equation

The authors study the large time asymptotics of a solution of the Fisher-KPP reaction-diffusion equation,with an initial condition that is a compact perturbation of a step function.A well-known result of Bramson states that,in the reference frame moving as 2t-(3/2) log t+x∞,the solution of the equation converges as t-→ +o∞ to a translate of the traveling wave corresponding to the minimal speed c* =2.The constant x∞ depends on the initial condition u(0,x).The proof is elaborate,and based on probabilistic arguments.The purpose of this paper is to provide a simple proof based on PDE arguments.     

On Time-space Fractional Reaction-diffusion Equations with Nonlocal Initial Conditions

This paper investigates the nonlinear time-space fractional reaction-diffusion equations with nonlocal initial conditions. Based on the operator semigroup theory, we transform the time-space fractional reaction-diffusion equation into an abstract evolution equation. The existence and uniqueness of mild solution to the reaction-diffusion equation are obtained by solving the abstract evolution equation. Finally, we verify the Mittag-Leffler-Ulam stabilities of the nonlinear time-space fractional reaction-diffusion equations with nonlocal initial conditions. The results in this paper improve and extend some related conclusions to this topic.     

Periodic traveling waves and locating oscillating patterns in multidimensional domains

We establish the existence and robustness of layered, time-periodic solutions to a reaction-diffusion equation in a bounded domain in , when the diffusion coefficient is sufficiently small and the reaction term is periodic in time and bistable in the state variable. Our results suggest that these patterned, oscillatory solutions are stable and locally unique. The location of the internal layers is characterized through a periodic traveling wave problem for a related one-dimensional reaction-diffusion equation. This one-dimensional problem is of independent interest and for this we establish the existence and uniqueness of a heteroclinic solution which, in constant-velocity moving coodinates, is periodic in time. Furthermore, we prove that the manifold of translates of this solution is globally exponentially asymptotically stable.

     

Traveling wavefronts for time-delayed reaction-diffusion equation: (II) Nonlocal nonlinearity

This is the second part of a series of study on the stability of traveling wavefronts of reaction-diffusion equations with time delays. In this paper we will consider a nonlocal time-delayed reaction-diffusion equation. When the initial perturbation around the traveling wave decays exponentially as x→−∞ (but the initial perturbation can be arbitrarily large in other locations), we prove the asymptotic stability of all traveling waves for the reaction-diffusion equation, including even the slower waves whose speed are close to the critical speed. This essentially improves the previous stability results by Mei and So [M. Mei, J.W.-H. So, Stability of strong traveling waves for a nonlocal time-delayed reaction-diffusion equation, Proc. Roy. Soc. Edinburgh Sect. A 138 (2008) 551-568] for the speed with a small initial perturbation. The approach we use here is the weighted energy method, but the weight function is more tricky to construct due to the property of the critical wavefront, and the difficulty arising from the nonlocal nonlinearity is also overcome. Finally, by using the Crank-Nicholson scheme, we present some numerical results which confirm our theoretical study.     

Wong-Zakai approximations and attractors for fractional stochastic reaction-diffusion equations on unbounded domains

In this paper, we investigate the Wong-Zakai approximations induced by a stationary process and the long term behavior of the fractional stochastic reaction-diffusion equation driven by a white noise. Precisely, one of the main ingredients in this paper is to establish the existence and uniqueness of tempered pullback attractors for the Wong-Zakai approximations of fractional stochastic reaction-diffusion equations. Thereafter the upper semi-continuity of attractors for the Wong-Zakai approximation of the equation as $\delta\rightarrow0$ is proved.     

Axially asymmetric traveling fronts in balanced bistable reaction-diffusion equations

For a balanced bistable reaction-diffusion equation, an axisymmetric traveling front has been well known. This paper proves that an axially asymmetric traveling front with any positive speed does exist in a balanced bistable reaction-diffusion equation. Our method is as follows. We use a pyramidal traveling front for an unbalanced reaction-diffusion equation whose cross section has a major axis and a minor axis. Preserving the ratio of the major axis and a minor axis to be a constant and taking the balanced limit, we obtain a traveling front in a balanced bistable reaction-diffusion equation. This traveling front is monotone decreasing with respect to the traveling axis, and its cross section is a compact set with a major axis and a minor axis when the constant ratio is not 1.     

First-Order and Second-Order,Chaos-Free,Finite Difference Schemes for Fisher Equation

A new class of finite difference schemes is constructed for Fisher partial differential equation i.e. the reaction-diffusion equation with stiff source term: $au(1-u)$. These schemes have the properties that they reduce to high fidelity algorithms in the diffusion-free case namely in which the numerical solutions preserve the properties in the exact solutions for arbitrary time step-size and reaction coefficient α＞0 and all nonphysical spurious solutions including bifurcations and chaos that normally appear in the standard discrete models of Fisher partial differential equation will not occur. The implicit schemes so developed obtain the numerical solutions by solving a single linear algebraic system at each step. The boundness and asymptotic behaviour of numerical solutions obtained by all these schemes are given. The approach constructing the above schemes can be extended to reaction-diffusion equations with other stiff source terms.
