Periodic solutions of a quasilinear wave equation

We study the properties of wave operators satisfying the periodicity condition with respect to time and homogeneous boundary conditions of the third kind and of Dirichlet type. We prove the existence of a nontrivial periodic (in time) sine-Gordon solution with homogeneous boundary conditions of the third kind and of Dirichlet type. We obtain theorems on the existence of periodic solutions of a quasilinear wave equation with variable (in x) coefficients and a boundary condition of the third kind.     

Behavior of surface waves at transition through a junction line on the boundary of an elastic homogenous isotropic body

A homogeneous elastic body with stress-free boundary is considered. The boundary of the body, which consists of a smooth cylindrical surface and a half-plane, has a continuous tangent plane, but the curvature of the normal section of the boundary has a discontinuity of the first kind at each point of the junction line. The behavior of two kinds of “whispering gallery” transversal surface waves at transition through the junction line is studied. For waves of the first kind (corresponding to Dirichlet boundary conditions), the displacement vector is normal to the boundary, whereas for waves of the second kind (corresponding to Neumann boundary conditions) the displacement vector is tangent to the boundary and normal to the ray, similarly to the case of Love waves.

Boundary value problems for two types of degenerate elliptic systems in R~4

Firstly, the Riemann boundary value problem for a kind of degenerate elliptic system of the first order equations in R~4 is proposed. Then, with the help of the one-to-one correspondence between the theory of Clifford valued generalized regular functions and that of the degenerate elliptic system's solution, the boundary value problem as stated above is transformed into a boundary value problem related to the generalized regular functions in Clifford analysis. Moreover, the solution of the Riemann boundary value problem for the degenerate elliptic system is explicitly described by using a kind of singular integral operator. Finally, the conditions for the existence of solutions of the oblique derivative problem for another kind of degenerate elliptic system of the first order equations in R~4 are derived.     

Second kind boundary integral equation for multi-subdomain diffusion problems

We consider isotropic scalar diffusion boundary value problems whose diffusion coefficients are piecewise constant with respect to a partition of space into Lipschitz subdomains. We allow so-called material junctions where three or more subdomains may abut. We derive a boundary integral equation of the second kind posed on the skeleton of the subdomain partition that involves, as unknown, only one trace function at each point of each interface. We prove the well-posedness of the corresponding boundary integral equations. We also report numerical tests for Galerkin boundary element discretisations, in which the new approach proves to be highly competitive compared to the well-established first kind direct single-trace boundary integral formulation. In particular, GMRES seems to enjoy fast convergence independent of the mesh resolution for the discrete second kind BIE.     

Study of the Solvability of Some Volterra-Type Integral and Integro-Differential Equations of Third Kind

For Volterra integral equations of the third kind and for Volterra-type integrodifferential equations of the third kind, theorems on the existence of solutions in Sobolev spaces (i.e., regular solutions) are proved. The proofs are based on the theory of boundary value problems for degenerate ordinary differential equations and on the theory of boundary value problems for parabolic equations with a changing evolution direction.     

A new version of boundary integral equations and their application to dynamic three-dimensional problems of the theory of elasticity

A version of boundary integral equations of the first kind in dynamic problems of the theory of elasticity is proposed, based on an investigation of the analytic properties of the Fourier transformant of the displacement vector, rather than on fundamental solutions. A system of three boundary integral equations of the first kind with Fredholm kernels is constructed, and the equivalence of the initial boundary-value problem on the vibrations of a bounded region and the system of boundary integral equations obtained is investigated. A version of the numerical realization, which combines the ideas of the classical method of boundary elements and the Tikhonov regularization method, is proposed. The results of numerical experiments are given.

Exact boundary observability for a kind of second order quasilinear hyperbolic systems and its applications

In this paper, by means of a constructive method based on the existence and uniqueness of the semi-global C² solution, we establish the local exact boundary observability for a kind of second order quasilinear hyperbolic systems. As an application, we obtain the one-sided local exact boundary observability for a kind of first order quasilinear hyperbolic systems of diagonal form with boundary conditions in which the diagonal variables corresponding to the positive eigenvalues and those corresponding to the negative eigenvalues are decoupled.     

Diffraction of whispering gallery waves by a conjunction line

A nonhomogeneous elastic body with stress-free boundary is considered. The boundary consists of two smooth cylindrical surfaces with continuous tangent plane. The curvature of the boundary is assumed to have a discontinuity on the conjunction line. The behavior of two kinds of transversal surface whispering gallery waves passing through the conjunction line is studied. For a wave of the first kind, corresponding to the Dirichlet boundary condition, the displacement vector is normal to the boundary. For a wave of the second kind, corresponding to the Neumann boundary condition, the displacement vector is tangent to the boundary and normal to the ray, which is similar to the case of Love waves.Translated fromZapiski Nauchnykh Seminarov POMI, Vol. 239, 1997, pp. 95–109.This work was supported by the Russian Foundation for Basic Research under grant No. 96-01-00666.

On Boundary Integral Equations of the First Kind

A large class of elliptic boundary value problems in elasticity and fluid mechanics can be reduced to systems of boundary integral equations of the first kind. This paper summarizes some of the basic concepts and results concerning the mathematical foundation of boundary element methods for treating such a class of boundary integral equations.     

An extrapolation method for a class of boundary integral equations

Boundary value problems of the third kind are converted into boundary integral equations of the second kind with periodic logarithmic kernels by using Green's formulas. For solving the induced boundary integral equations, a Nyström scheme and its extrapolation method are derived for periodic Fredholm integral equations of the second kind with logarithmic singularity. Asymptotic expansions for the approximate solutions obtained by the Nyström scheme are developed to analyze the extrapolation method. Some computational aspects of the methods are considered, and two numerical examples are given to illustrate the acceleration of convergence.

     

On an inhomogeneous problem for parabolic-hyperbolic equation

We study a boundary value problem for an inhomogeneous parabolic-hyperbolic equation with a noncharacteristic type change line. Boundary conditions of the first kind are posed on characteristics in the parabolic and hyperbolic parts of the domain where the equation is given, and a condition of the third kind is posed on the noncharacteristic part of the boundary in the parabolic part. First, we study the solvability of an inhomogeneous initial–boundary value problem for a parabolic equation.

A Kind of Discrete Non-Reflecting Boundary Conditions for Varieties of Wave Equations

Abstract In this paper, a new kind of discrete non-reflecting boundary conditions is developed.It can be usedfor a variety of wave equations such as the acoustic wave equation, the isotropic and anisotropic elastic waveequations and the equations for wave propagation in multi-phase media and so on.In this kind of boundaryconditions,the composition of all artifical reflected waves,but not the individual reflected ones,is consideredand eliminated.Thus, it has a uniform formula for different wave equations.The velocity C_A of the composedreflected wave is determined in the way to make the reflection coefficients minimal,the value of which depends onequations.In this psper,the construction of the boundary conditions illustrated and C_A is found,numericalresults are presented to illustrate the effectiveness of the boundary conditions.

BOUNDARY ELEMENT APPROXIMATION OF THE SEMI-DISCRETE PARABOLIC VARIATIONAL INEQUALITIES OF THE SECOND KIND

The boundary element approximation of the parabolic variational inequalities of the second kind is discussed. First, the parabolic variational inequalities of the second kind can be reduced to an elliptic variational inequality by using semidiscretization and implicit method in time; then the existence and uniqueness for the solution of nonlinear non-differentiable mixed variational inequality is discussed. Its corresponding mixed boundary variational inequality and the existence and uniqueness of its solution are yielded. This provides the theoretical basis for using boundary element method to solve the mixed vuriational inequality.

Solution of boundary-value problems for a degenerating elliptic equation of the second kind by the method of potentials

In this paper we study basic boundary value problems for one multidimensional degenerating elliptic equation of the second kind. Using the method of potentials we prove the unique solvability of the mentioned problems. We construct a fundamental solution and obtain an integral representation for the solution to the equation. Using this representation we study properties of solutions, in particular, the principle of maximum. We state the basic boundary value problems and prove their unique solvability. We introduce potentials of single and double layers and study their properties. With the help of these potentials we reduce the boundary value problems to the Fredholm integral equations of the second kind and prove their unique solvability.
