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.

Convergence of a numerical scheme of the type of the vortex loop method on a closed surface with an approximation to the surface shape

We consider a linear integral equation with a hypersingular integral treated in the sense of the Hadamard finite value. This equation arises when solving the Neumann boundary value problem for the Laplace equation with the use of the representation of the solution in the form of a double layer potential. We study the case in which an exterior or interior boundary value problem is solved in a domain whose boundary is a smooth closed surface and the integral equation is written out on that surface. For the numerical solution of the integral equation, the surface is approximated by spatial polygons whose vertices lie on the surface. We construct a numerical scheme for solving the integral equation on the basis of such an approximation to the surface with the use of quadrature formulas of the type of the method of discrete singularities with regularization. We prove that the numerical solutions converge to the exact solution of the hypersingular integral equation uniformly on the grid.

Numerical approach for solving fractional relaxation–oscillation equation

In this study, we will obtain the approximate solutions of relaxation–oscillation equation by developing the Taylor matrix method. A relaxation oscillator is a kind of oscillator based on a behavior of physical system’s return to equilibrium after being disturbed. The relaxation–oscillation equation is the primary equation of relaxation and oscillation processes. The relaxation–oscillation equation is a fractional differential equation with initial conditions. For this propose, generalized Taylor matrix method is introduced. This method is based on first taking the truncated fractional Taylor expansions of the functions in the relaxation–oscillation equation and then substituting their matrix forms into the equation. Hence, the result matrix equation can be solved and the unknown fractional Taylor coefficients can be found approximately. The reliability and efficiency of the proposed approach are demonstrated in the numerical examples with aid of symbolic algebra program, Maple.     

On the solution of Dirichlet problem of complex Monge-Ampère equation on Cartan-Hartogs domain of the second type

Complex Monge-Ampère equation is a nonlinear equation with high degree, so its solution is very difficult to get. How to get the plurisubharmonic solution of Dirichlet problem of complex Monge-Ampère equation on the Cartan-Hartogs domain of the second type is discussed by using the analytic method in this paper. Firstly, the complex Monge-Ampère equation is reduced to a nonlinear second-order ordinary differential equation (ODE) by using quite different method. Secondly, the solution of the Dirichlet problem is given in semi-explicit formula, and under a special case the exact solution is obtained. These results may be helpful for the numerical method of Dirichlet problem of complex Monge-Ampère equation on the Cartan-Hartogs domain.     

Exact solutions of a two-dimensional nonlinear Schrödinger equation

In the present study, we converted the resulting nonlinear equation for the evolution of weakly nonlinear hydrodynamic disturbances on a static cosmological background with self-focusing in a two-dimensional nonlinear Schrödinger (NLS) equation. Applying the function transformation method, the NLS equation was transformed to an ordinary differential equation, which depended only on one function ξ and can be solved. The general solution of the latter equation in ζ leads to a general solution of NLS equation. A new set of exact solutions for the two-dimensional NLS equation is obtained.     

A new boundary integral equation for molecular electrostatics with charges over whole space

In this paper, a new integral equation of electrostatics is proposed as an integral form of a basic dielectric continuum model, which is traditionally represented in a form of Poisson differential equation. As an application in protein simulations, the new integral equation is reduced to a second kind Fredholm boundary integral equation on the interface between the solute and solvent regions for a piecewise constant permittivity function, together with two new integral expressions for the electrostatics within the solute and solvent regions. The new integral equation and expressions work for any charge problem over the whole space (including the one with charges on the interface). This valuable feature is verified numerically for a dielectric sphere model with a point charge inside, outside, or on the sphere in this paper.

Homogenization of Richardsʼ equation of van Genuchten–Mualem model

This paper is devoted to the homogenization of Richards? equation of van Genuchten–Mualem model, which is a nonlinear degenerate parabolic differential equation. It is usually used to model the motion of saturated–unsaturated water flow in porous media. We firstly apply the Kirchhoff transformation to the equation and obtain a simpler equivalent equation with a linear oscillated diffusion term. Then under the real assumption for van Genuchten–Mualem model, we obtain the homogenized equation based on the two-scale convergence theory. Some results on the first order corrector are also presented.     

The Beverton–Holt dynamic equation

The Cushing–Henson conjectures on time scales are presented and verified. The central part of these conjectures asserts that based on a model using the dynamic Beverton–Holt equation, a periodic environment is deleterious for the population. The proof technique is as follows. First, the Beverton–Holt equation is identified as a logistic dynamic equation. The usual substitution transforms this equation into a linear equation. Then the proof is completed using a recently established dynamic version of the generalized Jensen inequality.     

Quaternionic Monge-Ampère equation and Calabi problem for HKT-manifolds

A quaternionic version of the Calabi problem on the Monge-Ampère equation is introduced, namely a quaternionic Monge-Ampère equation on a compact hypercomplex manifold with an HKT-metric. The equation is non-linear elliptic of second order. For a hypercomplex manifold with holonomy in SL(n,ℍ), uniqueness (up to a constant) of a solution is proven, aas well as the zero order a priori estimate. The existence of a solution is conjectured, similar to the Calabi-Yau theorem. We reformulate this quaternionic equation as a special case of the complex Hessian equation, making sense on any complex manifold.     

Universal boundary value problem for equations of mathematical physics

A new statement of a boundary value problem for partial differential equations is discussed. An arbitrary solution to a linear elliptic, hyperbolic, or parabolic second-order differential equation is considered in a given domain of Euclidean space without any constraints imposed on the boundary values of the solution or its derivatives. The following question is studied: What conditions should hold for the boundary values of a function and its normal derivative if this function is a solution to the linear differential equation under consideration? A linear integral equation is defined for the boundary values of a solution and its normal derivative; this equation is called a universal boundary value equation. A universal boundary value problem is a linear differential equation together with a universal boundary value equation. In this paper, the universal boundary value problem is studied for equations of mathematical physics such as the Laplace equation, wave equation, and heat equation. Applications of the analysis of the universal boundary value problem to problems of cosmology and quantum mechanics are pointed out.     

Semilinear Elliptic Equations on Thin Network-Shaped Domains with Variable Thickness

We study semilinear elliptic equations in a thin domain which is shaped like a network and degenerate into a geometric graph when a certain parameter tends to zero. It is shown by using a comparison technique that a solution of the equation in the network-shaped domain approaches a solution of an associated limit equation on the graph. Conversely, when the limit equation on the graph has a solution, we prove the existence of a solution of the PDE in the network-shaped domain which converges to the solution of the limit equation.     

Weakly Nonlinear Internal Waves in Shear

An evolution equation in a finite depth fluid for weakly nonlinear long internal waves is derived in a stratified and sheared medium. The equation reduces to the Korteweg-deVries equation when the depth is small compared to the wavelength, and to the Benjamin-Ono equation when the depth is large compared to the wavelength. Both the cases with and without critical levels are investigated. Numerical solutions to the evolution equation are presented to illustrate the effect of shear on the evolution of a waveform.

Stabilization by Slow Diffusion in a Real Ginzburg-Landau System

The Ginzburg-Landau equation is essential for understanding the dynamics of patterns in a wide variety of physical contexts. It governs the evolution of small amplitude instabilities near criticality. It is well known that the (cubic) Ginzburg-Landau equation has various unstable solitary pulse solutions. However, such localized patterns have been observed in systems in which there are two competing instability mechanisms. In such systems, the evolution of instabilities is described by a Ginzburg-Landau equation coupled to a diffusion equation. In this article we study the influence of this additional diffusion equation on the pulse solutions of the Ginzburg-Landau equation in light of recently developed insights into the effects of slow diffusion on the stability of pulses. Therefore, we consider the limit case of slow diffusion, i.e., the situation in which the additional diffusion equation acts on a long spatial scale. We show that the solitary pulse solution of the Ginzburg-Landau equation persists under this coupling. We use the Evans function method to analyze the effect of the slow diffusion and to show that it acts as a control mechanism that influences the (in)stability of the pulse. We establish that this control mechanism can indeed stabilize a pulse when higher order nonlinearities are taken into account.     

Exact and traveling-wave solutions for convection-diffusion-reaction equation with power-law nonlinearity

Based on the simplest equation method, we propose exact and traveling-wave solutions for a nonlinear convection-diffusion-reaction equation with power law nonlinearity. Such equation can be considered as a generalization of the Fisher equation and other well-known convection-diffusion-reaction equations. Two important cases are considered. The case of density-independent diffusion and the case of density-dependent diffusion. When the parameters of the equation are constant, the Bernoulli equation is used as the simplest equation. This leads to new traveling-wave solutions. Moreover, some wavefront solutions can be derived from the traveling-wave ones. The case of time-dependent velocity in the convection term is studied also. We derive exact solutions of the equations by using the Riccati equation as simplest equation. The exact and traveling-wave solutions presented in this paper can be used to explain many biological and physical phenomena.     

A reduction technique for discrete generalized algebraic and difference Riccati equations

This paper proposes a reduction technique for the generalized Riccati difference equation arising in optimal control and optimal filtering. This technique relies on a study on the generalized discrete algebraic Riccati equation. In particular, an analysis on the eigenstructure of the corresponding extended symplectic pencil enables to identify a subspace in which all the solutions of the generalized discrete algebraic Riccati equation are coincident. This subspace is the key to derive a decomposition technique for the generalized Riccati difference equation. This decomposition isolates a “nilpotent” part, which converges to a steady-state solution in a finite number of steps, from another part that can be computed by iterating a reduced-order generalized Riccati difference equation.     

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.
