ADFE METHOD WITH HIGH ACCURACY FOR NONLINEAR PARABOLIC INTEGRO-DIFFERENTIAL SYSTEM WITH NONLINEAR BOUNDARY CONDITIONS

Alternating direction finite element (ADFE) scheme for d-dimensional nonlin-ear system of parabolic integro-differential equations is studied. By using a local approxi-mation based on patches of finite elements to treat the capacity term qi(u), decomposition of the coefficient matrix is realized; by using alternating direction, the multi-dimensional problem is reduced to a family of single space variable problems, calculation work is sim-plified; by using finite element method, high accuracy for space variant is kept; by using inductive hypothesis reasoning, the difficulty coming from the nonlinearity of the coeffi-cients and boundary conditions is treated; by introducing Ritz-Volterra projection, the difficulty coming from the memory term is solved. Finally, by using various techniques for priori estimate for differential equations, the unique resolvability and convergence proper-ties for both FE and ADFE schemes are rigorously demonstrated, and optimal H1 and L2 norm space estimates and O((△t)2) estim

A coupling method based on new MFE and FE for fourth-order parabolic equation

In this article, a coupling method of new mixed finite element (MFE) and finite element (FE) is proposed and analyzed for fourth-order parabolic partial differential equation. First, the fourth-order parabolic equation is split into the coupled system of second-order equations. Then, an equation is solved by finite element method, the other equation is approximated by the new mixed finite element method, whose flux belongs to the square integrable space replacing the classical H(div;Ω) space. The stability for fully discrete scheme is derived, and both semi-discrete and fully discrete error estimates are obtained. Moreover, the optimal a priori error estimates in L ² and H ¹-norm for both the scalar unknown u and the diffusion term γ and a priori error estimate in (L ²)²-norm for its flux σ are derived. Finally, some numerical results are provided to validate our theoretical analysis.     

A moment problem for one-dimensional nonlinear pseudoparabolic equation

We are concerned with a moment problem for a nonlinear pseudoparabolic equation with one space dimension on an interval. The boundary conditions are imposed in terms of the zero-order moment and the first-order moment. Based on an elliptic estimate and an iteration method we established the well-posedness of solutions in the usual Sobolev space. We are able to get regularity of the solution so that both solution and its derivative with respect to the time variable belong to the same Sobolev space with respect to the space variable. This feature is different from problems with parabolic equations, where the regularity order of solution is higher than that of the time derivative with respect to the space variable. Previous results reflected only this parabolic nature for the pseudoparabolic equation.     

Stabilization method for continuous approximation of transient convection problem

The aim of this work is to study a new finite element (FE) formulation for the approximation of nonsteady convection equation. Our approximation scheme is based on the Streamline Upwind Petrov Galerkin (SUPG) method for space variable, x, and a modified of the Euler implicit method for time variable, t. The most interest for this scheme lies in its application to resolve by continuous (FE) method the complex of viscoelastic fluid flow obeying an Oldroyd‐B differential model; this constituted our aim motivation and allows us to treat the constitutive law equation, which expresses the relation between the stress tensor and the velocity gradient and includes tensorial transport term. To make the analysis of the method more clear, we first study, in this article this modified method for the advection equation. We point out the stability of this new method and the error estimate of the approximation solution is discussed. © 2004 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. Numer Methods Partial Differential Eq, 2005

In the metric of the space L₂, we study large deviations of a nonparametric estimate of nonlinear influence.

Based on the BT, the exact solution of the (3+1)-dimensional K-P equation is given. By the same method, we derive a BT and the solution to (2+1)-dimensional K-P equation. The variable coefficients can change the amplitude of solitary wave, but cannot change the form of solitary wave.     

Lattice Approximations for Stochastic Quasi-Linear Parabolic Partial Differential Equations Driven by Space-Time White Noise I

We approximate quasi-linear parabolic SPDEs substituting the derivatives in the space variable with finite differences. When the nonlinear terms in the equation are Lipschitz continuous we estimate the rate of L^p convergence of the approximations and we also prove their almost sure uniform convergence to the solution. When the nonlinear terms are not Lipschitz continuous we obtain this convergence in probability, if the pathwise uniqueness for the equation holds.     

Nonlocal symmetries and exact solutions of the (2+1)-dimensional generalized variable coefficient shallow water wave equation

In this paper, using the standard truncated Painlevé analysis, the Schwartzian equation of (2+1)-dimensional generalized variable coefficient shallow water wave (SWW) equation is obtained. With the help of Lax pairs, nonlocal symmetries of the SWW equation are constructed which be localized by a complicated calculation process. Furthermore, using the Lie point symmetries of the closed system and Schwartzian equation, some exact interaction solutions are obtained, such as soliton–cnoidal wave solutions. Corresponding 2D and 3D figures are placed to illustrate dynamic behavior of the generalized variable coefficient SWW equation.

Local higher integrability for parabolic quasiminimizers in metric spaces

Using purely variational methods, we prove in metric measure spaces local higher integrability for minimal p-weak upper gradients of parabolic quasiminimizers related to the heat equation. We assume the measure to be doubling and the underlying space to be such that a weak Poincaré inequality is supported. We define parabolic quasiminimizers in the general metric measure space context, and prove an energy type estimate. Using the energy estimate and properties of the underlying metric measure space, we prove a reverse Hölder inequality type estimate for minimal $p$ -weak upper gradients of parabolic quasiminimizers. Local higher integrability is then established based on the reverse Hölder inequality, by using a modification of Gehring’s lemma.     

A New Discontinuous Galerkin Method for Parabolic Equations with Discontinuous Coefficient

In this paper, a new discontinuous Galerkin method is developed for the parabolic equation with jump coefficients satisfying the continuous flow condition. Theoretical analysis shows that this method is $L^2$ stable. When the finite element space consists of interpolative polynomials of degrees $k$, the convergent rate of the semi-discrete discontinuous Galerkin scheme has an order of$\mathcal{O}(h^k)$. Numerical examples for both 1-dimensional and 2-dimensional problems demonstrate the validity of the new method.     

A Harnack inequality for the parabolic Allen–Cahn equation

We prove a differential Harnack inequality for the solution of the parabolic Allen–Cahn equation \( \frac{\partial f}{\partial t}=\triangle f-(f^3-f)\) on a closed n-dimensional manifold. As a corollary, we find a classical Harnack inequality. We also formally compare the standing wave solution to a gradient estimate of Modica from the 1980s for the elliptic equation.     

Asymptotic spherical symmetry of the free boundary in degenerate diffusion equations

Summary A general class of nonlinear degenerate parabolic equations in many space dimensions is considered and two main results concerning the free boundary are proved: (i) the «eventual» Lipschitz continuity in the space variable, (ii) the asymptotic spherical symmetry in a stronger sense than the «almost radiality» proved by Aronson & Caffarelli [2] for the porous medium equation. The proofs make use of geometric ideas based on the comparison principle and the method of moving planes.     

L ∞-Error estimate for an approximation of a parabolic variational inequality

Summary Almost optimalL -convergence of an approximation of a variational inequality of parabolic type is proved under regularity assumptions which are met by the solution of a one phase Stefan problem. The discretization employs piecewise linear finite elements in space and the backward Euler scheme in time. By means of a maximum principle the problem is reduced to an error estimate for an auxiliary parabolic equation. The latter bound is obtained by using the smoothing property of the Galerkin method.     

AN A.D.I.GALERKIN METHOD FOR NONLINEAR PARABOLIC INTEGRO-DIFFERENTIAL EQUATION USING PATCH APPROXIMATION

An A. D. I. Galerkin scheme for three-dimensional nonlinear parabolic integro-differen-tial equation is studied. By using alternating-direction, the three-dimensional problem is reduced to a family of single space variable problems, the calculation is simplified; by using a local approxima-tion of the coefficients based on patches of finite elements, the coefficient matrix is updated at each time step; by using Ritz-Volterra projection, integration by part and other techniques, the influence coming from the integral term is treated; by using inductive hypothesis reasoning, the difficulty coming from the nonlinearity is treated. For both Galerkin and A. D. I. Galerkin schemes the con-vergence properties are rigorously demonstrated, the optimal H~1-norm and L~2-norm estimates are obtained.     

On Regularization of a Source Identification Problem in a Parabolic PDE and its Finite Dimensional Analysis

We consider the inverse problem of identifying a general source term, which is a function of both time variable and the spatial variable, in a parabolic PDE from the knowledge of boundary measurements of the solution on some portion of the lateral boundary. We transform this inverse problem into a problem of solving a compact linear operator equation. For the regularization of the operator equation with noisy data, we employ the standard Tikhonov regularization, and its finite dimensional realization is done using a discretization procedure involving the space $L^2(0,\tau;L^2(Ω))$. For illustrating the specification of an a priori source condition, we have explicitly obtained the range space of the adjoint of the operator involved in the operator equation.     

Minimal Lagrangian submanifolds in ℂP 3 and the sinh-Gordon equation

We study 3-dimensional minimal Lagrangian submanifolds of the 3-dimensional complex projective space ?P³ (4) which admit a unit length Killing vector field whose integral curves are geodesics. We show that such Lagrangian submanifolds can be obtained from either horizontal holomorphic curves in ?P³ (4) (or equivalently superminimal immersions of surfaces in S⁴ (1)) or from solutions of the two dimensional sinh-Gordon equation. In the latter case, we explicitly obtain the immersions in terms of elliptic functions in the case that the solutions of the sinh-Gordon equation depend only on one variable.
