Noise-induced global asymptotic stability

We prove analytically that additive and parametric (multiplicative) Gaussian distributed white noise, interpreted in either the Itô or Stratonovich formalism, induces global asymptotic stability in two prototypical dynamical systems designated as supercritical (the Landau equation) and subcritical, respectively. In both systems without noise, variation of a parameter leads to a switching between a single, globally stable steady state and multiple, locally stable steady states. With additive noise this switching is mirrored in the behavior of the extrema of probability densities at the same value of the parameter. However, parametric noise causes a noise-amplitude-dependent shift (postponement) in the parameter value at which the switching occurs. It is shown analytically that the density converges to a Dirac delta function when the solution of the Fokker-Planck equation is no longer normalizable.

Effect of random density irregularities on nonlinear evolution of Langmuir waves in interplanetary medium

The evolution of nonlinear Langmuir waves in the interplanetary medium is investigated by appropriately accounting for the random density irregularities of the medium. A pair of modified Zakharov equations, which describe these waves, is solved numerically as an initial value problem for large scale (≫ 10² km) initial pertubations. For an ion acoustic-Langmuir solitary wave, the random irregularities damp the Langmuir wave by way of scattering and let the ion density perturbation radiate away in a few days. However an initial solitary or shock-like Langmuir wave excites the ion density perturbations within a fraction of a second, and then itself gets damped. These effects will strongly decelerate the collapse of large scale Langmuir waves. The possibility of detecting these processes, by means of interplanetary scintillation, is discussed. The authors felicitate Prof. D S Kothari on his eightieth birthday and dedicate this paper to him on this occasion.     

ANALYSIS OF MOVING MESH METHODS BASED ON GEOMETRICAL VARIABLES

1. IntroductionMany methods have been proposed for adapting the mesh to aChieve spatial resolution in thesolution of partial dthereatial equations. In addition to the capability of concedrating sufficientpoints about regions of rapid variation of the solution, a satisfactory mesh equatioll should besample, easy to program, and reasonably insensitive to the choice of its adjustable parameters.The earliest work on adaptive tecboques, based on moving trite element method (MFEM) wdone by Miller …     

Stochastic uniform observability of linear differential equations with multiplicative noise

The aim of this paper is to give a deterministic characterization of the uniform observability property of linear differential equations with multiplicative white noise in infinite dimensions. We also investigate the properties of a class of perturbed evolution operators and we used these properties to give a new representation of the covariance operators associated to the mild solutions of the investigated stochastic differential equations. The obtained results play an important role in obtaining necessary and sufficient conditions for the stochastic uniform observability property.     

Transverse nonlinear instability of solitary waves for some Hamiltonian PDE's

We present a general result of transverse nonlinear instability of 1d solitary waves for Hamiltonian PDE's for both periodic or localized transverse perturbations. Our main structural assumption is that the linear part of the 1-d model and the transverse perturbation “have the same sign”. Our result applies to the generalized KP-I equation, the Nonlinear Schrödinger equation, the generalized Boussinesq system and the Zakharov–Kuznetsov equation and we hope that it may be useful in other contexts.     

Harnack inequality and smoothness for quasilinear degenerate elliptic equations

We prove local and global regularity for the positive solutions of a quasilinear variational degenerate equation, assuming minimal hypothesis on the coefficients of the lower order terms. As an application we obtain Hölder continuity for the gradient of solutions to nonvariational quasilinear equations.     

A kinetic formulation for a model coupling free surface and pressurised flows in closed pipes

The aim of this paper is to present a kinetic formulation of a model for the coupling of transient free surface and pressurised flows. Firstly, we revisit the system of Saint-Venant equations for free surface flow: we state some properties of Saint-Venant equations, we propose a kinetic formulation and we verify that this kinetic formulation leads to a Gibbs equilibrium that minimises (in some general case) an energy and preserves the still water steady state. Secondly, we propose a model for pressurised flows in a Saint-Venant-like conservative formulation. We then propose a kinetic formulation and we verify that this kinetic formulation leads to a Gibbs equilibrium that minimises in any case an energy and preserves the still water steady state. Finally, we propose a dual model that couples these two types of flow.     

Iterative operator-splitting methods with higher-order time integration methods and applications for parabolic partial differential equations

In this paper we design higher-order time integrators for systems of stiff ordinary differential equations. We combine implicit Runge–Kutta and BDF methods with iterative operator-splitting methods to obtain higher-order methods. The idea of decoupling each complicated operator in simpler operators with an adapted time scale allows to solve the problems more efficiently. We compare our new methods with the higher-order fractional-stepping Runge–Kutta methods, developed for stiff ordinary differential equations. The benefit is the individual handling of each operator with adapted standard higher-order time integrators. The methods are applied to equations for convection–diffusion reactions and we obtain higher-order results. Finally we discuss the applications of the iterative operator-splitting methods to multi-dimensional and multi-physical problems.
