On the initial value problem for functional differential systems

For a system of functional differential equations of an arbitrary order the conditions are established for the initial value problem to be solvable on an infinite interval, and the structure of the set of solutions to this problem is studied.     

A new approach to fuzzy initial value problem by improved Euler method

This paper targets to investigate the solution of linear and nonlinear ordinary differential equations with fuzzy initial condition. Here, two improved Euler type methods have been proposed in order to obtain numerical solution of the problem. Along with this, an exact methodology is also discussed. The obtained results are depicted in term of plots to show the efficiency of the proposed methods. The solutions are compared with the known results and are found that those obtained by the proposed methods are tighter than the results from the existing method.     

On multistep interval methods for solving the initial value problem

In this paper we shortly complete our previous considerations on interval versions of Adams multistep methods [M. Jankowska, A. Marciniak, Implicit interval multistep methods for solving the initial value problem, Comput. Meth. Sci. Technol. 8(1) (2002) 17–30; M. Jankowska, A. Marciniak, On explicit interval methods of Adams–Bashforth type, Comput. Meth. Sci. Technol. 8(2) (2002) 46–57; A. Marciniak, Implicit interval methods for solving the initial value problem, Numerical Algorithms 37 (2004) 241–251]. It appears that there exist two families of implicit interval methods of this kind. More considerations are dealt with two new kinds of interval multistep methods based on conventional well-known Nyström and Milne–Simpson methods. For these new interval methods we prove that the exact solution of the initial value problem belongs to the intervals obtained. Moreover, we present some estimations of the widths of interval solutions. Some conclusions bring this paper to the end.

On the initial value problem for the Vlasov-Poisson-Fokker-Planck system with initial data in Lp spaces

In this paper the global existence of weak solutions for the Vlasov-Poisson-Fokker-Planck equations in three dimensions is proved with an L¹ ∩ L^p initial data. Also, the global existence of weak solutions in four dimensions with small initial data is studied. A convergence of the solutions is obtained to those built by E. Horst and R. Hunze when the Fokker-Planck term vanishes. In order to obtain the a priori necessary estimates a sequence of approximate problems is introduced. This sequence is obtained starting from a non-linear regulation of the problem together with a linearization via a time retarded mollification of the non-linear term. The a priori bounds are reached by means of the control of the kinetic energy in the approximate sequence of problems. Then, the proof is completed obtaining the equicontinuity properties which allow to pass to the limit.     

On the initial value problem for a certain partial differential equation

It is shown that the initial problem of the equationu _xx +u _yy =(tu _t ) _t has a unique solution satisfying a maximum principle. Moreover, a numerical scheme for its solution is proposed.     

On an initial boundary value problem in nonlinear 3D-magnetoelasticity

We prove existence and uniqueness of a weak solution to an initial boundary value problem, related to the Maxwell and Lamé systems nonlinearly coupled through the so-called magnetoelastic effect. Uniqueness is proved under additional assumptions on the smoothness of the solution.     

On an initial boundary value problem for the equations of ideal magneto-hydrodynamics

We study an initial boundary value problem for the symmetric hyperbolic quasilinear system of the equations of ideal magneto-hydrodynamics with a perfectly conducting wall boundary condition. Existence of a unique classical solution is proved inside a suitable class of functions of Sobolev type. Moreover, solutions inside the above class are shown to depend continuously in strong norm on the data.     

A highly unstable initial value boundary value problem

In this paper we consider a two-dimensional diffusion equation on the closed right halfspace satisfying a boundary condition for which the minimum principle fails. As a consequence, the associated Cauchy initial value problem fails to be well-posed. In particular, solutions need not exist and, when they do exist, they may do so for only a finite length of time. Among other things, we provide a necessary and sufficient condition on the initial data in order that the solution exist for all time and remain non-negative.     

On the optimization of the initial boundary value problem for a conservation law

In the present note, the theory of shift differentiability for the Cauchy problem is extended to the case of an initial boundary value problem for a conservation law. This result allows to exhibit an Euler-Lagrange equation to be satisfied by the extrema of integral functionals defined on the solutions of initial boundary value problems of this kind.     

On regularizing-rate estimates for solutions to the heat flow with initial value problem

For a compact Riemannian manifold NRK without boundary, we establish the existence of strong solutions to the heat flow for harmonic maps from Rn to N, and the regularizing rate estimate of the strong solutions. Moreover, we obtain the analyticity in spatial variables of the solutions. The uniqueness of the mild solutions in C([0,T]; W1,n) is also considered in this paper.     

On the characteristic initial value problem for the wave equation in odd spatial dimensions with radial initial data

Summary The paper obtains an explicit solution of the characteristic initial value problem for the wave equation in odd spatial dimensions with radial initial data via solution of a characteristic boundary value problem involving a singular differential equation. The solution of the latter problem is obtained by a modified Riemann method. It is shown that on the time axis the solution of the original problem reduces to the solution that is obtainable by the use of Asgeirsson’s mean value theorem.

On the initial value problem and scattering of solutions for the generalized Davey-Stewartson systems

We study the initial value problem of the Davey-Stewartson systems for the elliptic-elliptic and hyperbolic-elliptic cases. The local and global existence and uniqueness of solutions in H^s is shown. Also, we prove that the scattering operator carries a band in H^s into H^s.     

On the initial boundary value problem for a nonlinear nonhomogeneous equation of Sobolev type

The initial boundary value problem for a nonlinear nonhomogeneous equation of Sobolev type used for modeling nonstationary processes in semiconductors is examined. It is proved that this problem is uniquely solvable at least locally in time. Sufficient conditions for the problem to be solvable globally in time are found, as well as sufficient conditions for the local (but not global) solvability. In the case of only local solvability, upper and lower estimates for the time when a solution exists are determined in the form of either explicit or quadrature formulas.

We consider the initial boundary value problem for the Navier-Stokes equations with boundary conditions . We assume that may have jump discontinuities at finitely many points ξ1;. . .,ξm of the boundary ϖΩ of a bounded domain Ω ⊂ ℝ². We prove that this problem has a unique generalized solution in a finite time interval or for small initial and boundary data. The solution is found in a class of vector fields with infinite energy integral. The case of a moving boundary is also considered. Bibliography: 11 titles. Dedicated to O. A.

We adapt to degenerate m-Hessian evolution equations the notion of m-approximate solutions introduced by N. Trudinger for m-Hessian elliptic equations, and we present close to necessary and sufficient conditions guaranteeing the existence and uniqueness of such solutions for the first initial boundary value problem.
