Inverse spectral reconstruction problem for the convolution operator perturbed by a one-dimensional operator

We consider a one-dimensional perturbation of the convolution operator. We study the inverse reconstruction problem for the convolution component using the characteristic numbers under the assumption that the perturbation summand is known a priori. The problem is reduced to the solution of the so-called basic nonlinear integral equation with singularity. We prove the global solvability of this nonlinear equation. On the basis of these results, we prove a uniqueness theorem and obtain necessary and sufficient conditions for the solvability of the inverse problem.     

A mapping of a point spectrum and the uniqueness of a solution to the inverse problem for a Sobolev-type equation

In this paper we study a mapping of a point spectrum of a multivalued linear operator that generates a strongly continuous semigroup. We obtain the necessary and sufficient conditions for the unique solvability of the inverse problem for a Sobolev-type equation.     

Uniqueness on identification of cubic convolution nonlinearity

We shall consider the inverse scattering problem for time dependent version of Hartree equation and nonlinear Klein-Gordon equation. The uniqueness theorem on identifying the cubic convolution nonlinearity from the knowledge of the scattering operator will be shown.     

An inverse spectral problem for integro-differential Dirac operators with general convolution kernels

ABSTRACT

An integro-differential Dirac system with a convolution kernel consisting of four independent functions is considered. We prove that the kernel is uniquely determined by specifying the spectra of two boundary value problems with one common boundary condition. The proof is based on the reduction of this nonlinear inverse problem to solving some nonlinear integral equation, which we solve globally. On this basis we also obtain a constructive procedure for solving the inverse problem along with necessary and sufficient conditions for its solvability in an appropriate class of kernels.     

Problem without Initial Conditions for a Class of Inverse Parabolic Operator-Differential Equations of Third Order

In a weighted Sobolev-type space, the well-posedness and unique solvability of a problem without initial conditions for a third-order operator-differential equation with an inverse parabolic principal part are established. The solvability conditions are expressed in terms of the operator coefficients of the equation. Additionally, the norms of the operators of intermediate derivatives closely related to the solvability conditions are estimated. The relation between the weight exponent and the lower boundary of the spectrum of the basic operator involved in the principal part of the equation is established. Note that the principal part of the equation has a multiple characteristic.     

On one class of differential operators and their application

We use a generalized differentiation operator to construct a generalized shift operator, which makes it possible to define a generalized convolution operator in the space H(?). Next, we consider the characteristic function of this operator and introduce a generalized Laplace transform. We study the homogeneous equation of the generalized convolution operator, investigate its solvability, and consider the multipoint Vallée Poussin problem.     

On perturbations of abstract fractional differential equations by nonlinear operators

We prove the unique solvability of a Cauchy-type problem for an abstract parabolic equation containing fractional derivatives and a nonlinear perturbation term. The result is applied to establish the solvability of the inverse coefficient problem for a fractional-order equation.     

Mixed Oblique Derivative Problem for the Helmholtz Equation in a Half-Disk

A mixed oblique derivative boundary value problem is considered for the Helmholtz equation in a half-disk. We prove the unique solvability of this problem for sufficiently large values of the parameter occurring in the equation, the leading part of the inverse operator being constructed explicitly.     

Carleman Parabola and the Eigenvalues of Elliptic Operators

We study the problem of location of the spectrum of an elliptic operator in a bounded domain with both the classical and more special boundary conditions. On the complex plane, we construct the set of all eigenvalues of the corresponding operator and consider several examples to illustrate the “asymptotic accuracy” of the obtained set and consider an example of nonunique solvability of a parabolic inverse problem with final observation.     

Integration of the Continual System of Nonlinear Interaction Waves

We derive the continual system of nonlinear interaction waves from the compatibility of the transport equation on the whole line and the equation governing the time-evolution of the eigenfunctions of the transport operator. The transport equation represents the continual generalization from the n-component system of first-order ordinary differential equations. The continual system describes a nonlinear interaction of waves. We prove that the continual system can be integrated by the inverse scattering method. The method is based on applying the results of the inverse scattering problem for the transport equation to finding the solution of the Cauchy initial-value problem for the continual system. Indeed, the transition operator for the scattering problem admits right and left Volterra factorizations. The intermediate operator for this problem determines the one-to-one correspondence between the preimages of a solution of the transport equation. This operator is related to the transition operator and admits not only right and left Volterra factorizations but also the analytic factorization. By virtue of this fact the potential in the transport equation is uniquely reconstructed in terms of the solutions of the fundamental equations in inverse problem.We introduce the generalized Lax equation. This enables us to derive the time-evolution of the transition operator. Then, the time-dependent intermediate operator is constructed. The solution of the considered Cauchy problem is expressed in terms of solutions of the fundamental equations in inverse problem. This solution is found uniquely from the given initial condition.     

Solvability of the Direct and Inverse Problems for the Nonlinear Schrödinger Equation

In this paper we study rigorous spectral theory and solvability for both the direct and inverse problems of the Dirac operator associated with the nonlinear Schrödinger equation. We review known results and techniques, as well as incorporating new ones, in a comprehensive, unified framework. We identify functional spaces in which both direct and inverse problems are well posed, have a unique solution and the corresponding direct and inverse maps are one to one.Mathematics Subject Classifications (2000) 34A55, 35Q55.     

On Some Integral Equations in Hilbert Space with an Application to the Theory of Elasticity

A Volterra type integral equation in a Hilbert space with an additional linear operator L and a spectral parameter depending on time is considered. If the parameter does not belong to the spectrum of L unconditional solvability of the considered problem is proved. In the case where the initial value of the parameter coincides with some isolated point of the spectrum of the operator L sufficient conditions for solvability are established. The obtained results are applied to the partial integral equations associated with a contact problem of the theory of elasticity.     

On the existence of optimal coefficient controls for a nonlinear Neumann boundary value problem

We study the solvability of an optimal control problem for a nonlinear elliptic equation with the Neumann conditions on the boundary for the case in which the coefficients in the main part of the differential operator play the role of control functions. We show that this problem is solvable in the class of generalized-solenoidal matrices.     

On minimal nonlinearities which permit bifurcation from the continuous spectrum

Bifurcation from the continuous spectrum of a linearized operator is of interest in many physical problems. For example it occurs in the nonlinear Klein-Gordon equation and in nonlinear integrodifferential equations as the Choquard problem; it further appears in nonlinear integral equations of the convolution type. A general theory enclosing all these problems is not yet known. To understand the basic phenomena, we therefore consider monotone differential operators whose linearisations have a purely continuous spectrum. It is shown that in fact the lowest point of the continuous spectrum is a bifurcation point, if the nonlinearity grows sufficiently strong.     

Well-posedness of a problem with initial conditions for hyperbolic differential-difference equations with shifts in the time argument

We study a problem with initial conditions on the half-line for a differentialdifference equation of the hyperbolic type with deviations of the time argument. We obtain sufficient conditions for the well-posed solvability of the problem in Sobolev spaces with an exponential weight. In terms of the spectrum of the problem operator, we obtain necessary conditions for the well-posed solvability of the problem, sufficient conditions for the absence of solutions, and sufficient conditions for the nonuniqueness of the solution.     

The tricomi problem for a nonlinear mixed-type equation with functional retarded,advanced, and concentrated deviation

We study the boundary-value problem for a nonlinear mixed-type equation with the Lavrent’ev–Bitsadze operator in the main part and a functional delay or advance in the lowest terms. We construct a general solution to the equation under consideration and prove the unique solvability of the problem.     

Mixed value problem for nonlinear integro-differential equation with parabolic operator of higher power

We study the questions of one-valued solvability of mixed value problem for nonlinear integro-differential equation, consisting a parabolic operator of higher power. By the aid of Fourier series of separation variables the considering problem we can reduce to study the countable system of nonlinear integral equations, one-valued solvability of which will be proved by the method of successive approximations. The convergence of Fourier series will be studied by means of integral identity.     

Integral equations related to the study of an inverse coefficient problem for a system of partial differential equations

We consider an inverse coefficient problem for a linear system of partial differential equations. The values of one solution component on a given curve are used as additional information for determining the unknown coefficient. The proof of the uniqueness of the solution of the inverse problem is based on the analysis of the unique solvability of a homogeneous integral equation of the first kind. The existence of a solution of the inverse problem is proved by reduction to a system of nonlinear integral equations.     

On an inverse spectral problem for first-order integro-differential operators with discontinuities

A convolution integro-differential operator of the first order with a finite number of discontinuities is considered. Properties of its spectrum are studied and a uniqueness theorem is proven for the inverse problem of recovering the convolution kernel along with the boundary condition from the spectrum.     

Solvability of a class of integro-differential equations and connections to one-dimensional inverse problems

A new approach to one-dimensional inverse problem was recently introduced by Barry Simon. We continue the study on an intermediate object A, which satisfies a nonlinear integro-differential equation. We prove local solvability of this A-equation and find a necessary condition for global solvability. Some exact solutions are presented.
