Approximation of solution operators of elliptic partial differential equations by {\mathcal{H}}- and {\mathcal{H}^2}-matrices

We investigate the problem of computing the inverses of stiffness matrices resulting from the finite element discretization of elliptic partial differential equations. Since the solution operators are non-local, the inverse matrices will in general be dense, therefore representing them by standard techniques will require prohibitively large amounts of storage. In the field of integral equations, a successful technique for handling dense matrices efficiently is to use a data-sparse representation like the popular multipole method. In this paper we prove that this approach can be generalized to cover inverse matrices corresponding to partial differential equations by switching to data-sparse ${\mathcal{H}}$ - and ${\mathcal{H}^2}$ -matrices. The key results are existence proofs for local low-rank approximations of the solution operator and its discrete counterpart, which give rise to error estimates for ${\mathcal{H}}$ - and ${\mathcal{H}^2}$ -matrix approximations of the entire matrices.

Generalized equations and the generalized Newton method

We give some convergence results on the generalized Newton method (referred to by some authors as Newton's method) and the chord method when applied to generalized equations. The main results of the paper extend the classical Kantorovich results on Newton's method to (nonsmooth) generalized equations. Our results also extend earlier results on nonsmooth equations due to Eaves, Robinson, Josephy, Pang and Chan. We also propose inner-iterative schemes for the computation of the generalized Newton iterates. These schemes generalize popular iterative methods (Richardson's method, Jacobi's method and the Gauss-Seidel method) for the solution of linear equations and linear complementarity problems and are shown to be convergent under natural generalizations of classical convergence criteria. Our results are applicable to equations involving single-valued functions and also to a class of generalized equations which includes variational inequalities, nonlinear complementarity problems and some nonsmooth convex minimization problems.

A study on the convergence conditions of generalized differential transform method

This paper deals with constructing generalized ‘fractional’ power series representation for solutions of fractional order differential equations. We present a brief review of generalized Taylor's series and generalized differential transform methods. Then, we study the convergence of fractional power series. Our emphasis is to address the sufficient condition for convergence and to estimate the truncated error. Numerical simulations are performed to estimate maximum absolute truncated error when the generalized differential transform method is used to solve non‐linear differential equations of fractional order. The study highlights the power of the generalized differential transform method as a tool in obtaining fractional power series solutions for differential equations of fractional order.

An application of the decomposition method for the generalized KdV and RLW equations

We consider solitary-wave solutions of the generalized regularized long-wave (RLW) and Korteweg-de Vries (KdV) equations. We prove the convergence of Adomian decomposition method applied to the generalized RLW and KdV equations. Then we obtain the exact solitary-wave solutions and numerical solutions of the generalized RLW and KdV equations for the initial conditions. The numerical solutions are compared with the known analytical solutions. Their remarkable accuracy are finally demonstrated for the generalized RLW and KdV equations.     

A parameterized Newton method and a quasi-Newton method for nonsmooth equations

This paper presents a parameterized Newton method using generalized Jacobians and a Broyden-like method for solving nonsmooth equations. The former ensures that the method is well-defined even when the generalized Jacobian is singular. The latter is constructed by using an approximation function which can be formed for nonsmooth equations arising from partial differential equations and nonlinear complementarity problems. The approximation function method generalizes the splitting function method for nonsmooth equations. Locally superlinear convergence results are proved for the two methods. Numerical examples are given to compare the two methods with some other methods.This work is supported by the Australian Research Council.     

Numerical solutions of the space- and time-fractional coupled Burgers equations by generalized differential transform method

In this paper, by introducing the fractional derivative in the sense of Caputo, the generalized two-dimensional differential transform method (DTM) is directly applied to solve the coupled Burgers equations with space- and time-fractional derivatives. The presented method is a numerical method based on the generalized Taylor series formula which constructs an analytical solution in the form of a polynomial. Several illustrative examples are given to demonstrate the effectiveness of the generalized two-dimensional DTM for the equations.     

Extending the generalized tanh method to the generalized Hamiltonian equations: New soliton-like solutions

To certain nonlinear evolution equations, the tanh method has been generalized for constructing not only solitary-wave but also soliton-like solutions. In this paper, no loss of conciseness, we further extend the generalized tanh method with computerized symbolic computation to a pair of generalized Hamiltonian equations. A new family of soliton-like analytical solutions is obtained, of which the solitary waves and previously-claimed soliton-like solutions are shown to be the special cases.     

Solving generalized equations via homotopies

Global Newton methods for computing solutions of nonlinear systems of equations have recently received a great deal of attention. By using the theory of generalized equations, a homotopy method is proposed to solve problems arising in complementarity and mathematical programming, as well as in variational inequalities. We introduce the concepts of generalized homotopies and regular values, characterize the solution sets of such generalized homotopies and prove, under boundary conditions similar to Smale’s [10], the existence of a homotopy path which contains an odd number of solutions to the problem. We related our homotopy path to the Newton method for generalized equations developed by Josephy [3]. An interpretation of our results for the nonlinear programming problem will be given.

Solutions of Riccati-Abel equation in terms of third order trigonometric functions

Solutions of the generalized Riccati equations with third order nonlinearity, named as Riccati-Abel equation, are expressed via third order trigonometric functions. It is shown, as the ordinary Riccati equation, also the Riccati-Abel equation has a relationship with a linear differential equations. A summation formula for solutions of Riccati-Abel equation is established. Possible applications of this formula in the generalized dynamics is outlined. The method admits an extension to the case of generalized Riccati equations with any order of nonlinearity     

On the class of nonlinear PDEs that can be treated by the modified method of simplest equation. Application to generalized Degasperis–Processi equation and b-equation

The method of simplest equation is powerful tool for obtaining exact and approximate solutions of nonlinear PDEs. Here we extend the class of equations which can be treated by the method in such a way that the classes of equations considered in our previous work are particular cases of the extended class of equations. As examples for application of the methodology we obtain exact traveling-wave solutions of the generalized Degasperis–Processi equation and of the b-equation. As simplest equations we use the equations of Bernoulli and Riccati. We investigate the possibility for obtaining these solutions also by means of the exp-function method. This lead us to propose a generalized version of the exp-function method in Section 5.     

Potential-based numerical solution of Dirichlet problems for the Helmholtz equation

Three-dimensional Dirichlet problems for the Helmholtz equation are considered in generalized formulations. By applying single-layer potentials, they are reduced to Fredholm boundary integral equations of the first kind. The equations are discretized using a special averaging method for integral operators with weak singularities in the kernels. As a result, the integral equations are approximated by systems of linear algebraic equations with easy-to-compute coefficients, which are solved numerically by applying the generalized minimal residual method. A modification of the method is proposed that yields solutions in the spectra of interior Dirichlet problems and integral operators when the integral equations are not equivalent to the original differential problems and are not well-posed. Numerical results are presented for assessing the capabilities of the approach.     

Strong solutions for stochastic partial differential equations of gradient type

Unique existence of analytically strong solutions to stochastic partial differential equations (SPDE) with drift given by the subdifferential of a quasi-convex function and with general multiplicative noise is proven. The proof applies a genuinely new method of weighted Galerkin approximations based on the “distance” defined by the quasi-convex function. Spatial regularization of the initial condition analogous to the deterministic case is obtained. The results yield a unified framework which is applied to stochastic generalized porous media equations, stochastic generalized reaction–diffusion equations and stochastic generalized degenerated p-Laplace equations. In particular, higher regularity for solutions of such SPDE is obtained.     

The recursion operator method for generalized symmetries and Bäcklund transformations of the Burgers’ equations

In this paper, the generalized symmetries of the second-order Burgers’ equation are obtained through the symmetry transformation method. The Bäcklund transformations (BTs) of the two equations are constructed by the recursion operator method. Then, the infinite number of exact solutions to these equations are investigated in terms of the generalized symmetries and Bäcklund transformations. Furthermore, the Bäcklund transformations and conservation law of the general Burgers’ equations are discussed.
