Asymptotic Maslov’s method for shocks of conservation laws systems with quadratic flux

In this work we apply the asymptotic method suggested by Maslov [1] to obtain the Hugoniot–Maslov chain for shock type solutions of conservation laws systems with quadratic flux. Additionally to the ODE infinite system that make up the chain, it was obtained an algebraic compatibility condition that must be satisfied by some of the coefficients of the asymptotic expansion of the shock solution. We give a new geometrical interpretation for this compatibility condition by means of certain singular surface whose projections represent time-dependent Hugoniot locus through the left limit state of the Shock.     

Delta and singular delta locus for one‐dimensional systems of conservation laws

This work gives a condition for existence of singular and delta shock wave solutions to Riemann problem for 2×2 systems of conservation laws. For a fixed left‐hand side value of Riemann data, the condition obtained in the paper describes a set of possible right‐hand side values. The procedure is similar to the standard one of finding the Hugoniot locus. Fluxes of the considered systems are globally Lipschitz with respect to one of the dependent variables. The association in a Colombeau‐type algebra is used as a solution concept. Copyright © 2004 John Wiley &Sons, Ltd.     

Foundations of a Nonlinear Distributional Geometry

Colombeau's construction of generalized functions (in its special variant) is extended to a theory of generalized sections of vector bundles. As particular cases, generalized tensor analysis and exterior algebra are studied. A point value characterization for generalized functions on manifolds is derived, several algebraic characterizations of spaces of generalized sections are established and consistency properties with respect to linear distributional geometry are derived. An application to nonsmooth mechanics indicates the additional flexibility offered by this approach compared to the purely distributional picture.     

Hyers–Ulam–Rassias stability of a generalized Apollonius–Jensen type additive mapping and isomorphisms between C *‐algebras

Let X, Y be Banach modules over a C *‐algebra. We prove the Hyers–Ulam–Rassias stability of the following functional equation in Banach modules over a unital C *‐algebra: It is shown that a mapping f: X → Y satisfies the above functional equation and f (0) = 0 if and only if the mapping f: X → Y is Cauchy additive. As an application, we show that every almost linear bijection h: A → B of a unital C *‐algebra A onto a unital C *‐algebra B is a C *‐algebra isomorphism when h (2^d uy) = h (2^d u) h (y) for all unitaries u ∈ A, all y ∈ A, and all d ∈ Z .

Numerical verification of delta shock waves for pressureless gas dynamics

The subject of this paper is theoretical analysis and numerical verification of delta shock wave existence for pressureless gas dynamic system. The existence of overcompressive delta shock wave solution in the framework of Colombeau generalized functions is proved. This result is verified numerically by specially designed procedure that is based on wave propagation method implemented in CLAWPACK. The method is coupled with dynamic refinement mesh. We also consider a strictly hyperbolic system obtained from the original one by perturbation and change of variables. The same numerical procedure is applied to the perturbed problem. The obtained numerical results in both cases confirm theoretical expectations.     

The persistence of ideal shock waves

Local-in-time piecewise smooth solutions to hyperbolic systems of conservation laws are constructed by means of Li-Yu theory. The novelty consists in the application of this approach to shock waves for which the number of outgoing modes is at least as big as the number of incoming modes (undercompressive shocks), the motivation in a possible interpretation from the zero dissipation limit point of view.     

Existence of discrete shock profiles of a class of monotonicity preserving schemes for conservation laws

When shock speed times is rational, the existence of solutions of shock profile equations on bounded intervals for monotonicity preserving schemes with continuous numerical flux is proved. A sufficient condition under which the above solutions can be extended to , implying the existence of discrete shock profiles of numerical schemes, is provided. A class of monotonicity preserving schemes, including all monotonicity preserving schemes with numerical flux functions, the second order upwinding flux based MUSCL scheme, the second order flux based MUSCL scheme with Lax-Friedrichs' splitting, and the Godunov scheme for scalar conservation laws are found to satisfy this condition. Thus, the existence of discrete shock profiles for these schemes is established when is rational.

     

On multiple soliton similariton‐pair solutions,conservation laws via multiplier and stability analysis for the Whitham–Broer–Kaup equations in weakly dispersive media

In this article, the generalized unified method (GUM) is used for finding multiwave solutions of the coupled Whitham‐Broer‐Kaup (WBK) equation with variable coefficients. Which describes the propagation of of shallow water waves. Here, we study the effects of the indirect nonlinear interaction of one‐, two‐ and three‐solitonic similaritons on the behavior of propagation of waves, in quasi‐periodic distributed system. This study can unable us to control the dynamics of type soliton (soliton, anti‐soliton) similaritons waves in dispersive waveguides. To give more physical insight to the obtained solutions, they are shown graphically. Their different structures are depicted by taking appropriate arbitrary functions. Further, with the suitable parameters, the indirect nonlinear interaction between two and three‐soliton waves are shown weal, in the sense that their amplitude does not blow up. Moreover, because of the importance of conservation laws Cls and stability analysis SA in the investigation of integrability, internal properties, existence, and uniqueness of a differential equation, we compute the Cls via multiplier technique and stability analysis via the concept of linear stability analysis for the WBK equations using the constant coefficients.     

Interactions of delta shock waves for the relativistic Chaplygin Euler equations with split delta functions

In this article, we are concerned with the interactions of delta shock waves with contact discontinuities for the relativistic Euler equations for Chaplygin gas by using split delta functions method. The solutions are obtained constructively and globally when the initial data consists of three piecewise constant states. The global structure and large time‐asymptotic behaviors of the solutions are analyzed case by case. During the process of the interaction, the strengths of delta shock waves are computed completely. Moreover, it can be found that the Riemann solutions are stable for such small perturbations with special initial data by letting perturbed parameter ε tends to zero.

Bernstein–Nikolskii and Plancherel–Polya inequalities in Lp ‐norms on non‐compact symmetric spaces

By using Bernstein‐type inequality we define analogs of spaces of entire functions of exponential type in L_p (X), 1 ≤ p ≤ ∞, where X is a symmetric space of non‐compact. We give estimates of L_p ‐norms, 1 ≤ p ≤ ∞, of such functions (the Nikolskii‐type inequalities) and also prove the L_p ‐Plancherel–Polya inequalities which imply that our functions of exponential type are uniquely determined by their inner products with certain countable sets of measures with compact supports and can be reconstructed from such sets of “measurements” in a stable way (© 2009 WILEY‐VCH Verlag GmbH & Co.

Delta shock waves with Dirac delta function in both components for systems of conservation laws

We study a class of non-strictly and weakly hyperbolic systems of conservation laws which contain the equations of geometrical optics as a prototype. The Riemann problems are constructively solved. The Riemann solutions include two kinds of interesting structures. One involves a cavitation where both state variables tend to zero forming a singularity, the other is a delta shock wave in which both state variables contain Dirac delta function simultaneously. The generalized Rankine–Hugoniot relation and entropy condition are proposed to solve the delta shock wave. Moreover, with the limiting viscosity approach, we show all of the existence, uniqueness and stability of solution involving the delta shock wave. The generalized Rankine–Hugoniot relation is also confirmed. Then our theory is successfully applied to two typical systems including the geometric optics equations. Finally, we present the numerical results coinciding with the theoretical analysis.     

On M–multisplittings of singular M–matrices with application to Markov chains

Given a singular M–matrix of a linear system, convergent conditions under which iterative schemes based on M–multisplittings are studied. Two of those conditions, the index of the iteration matrix and its spectral radius are investigated and related to those of the M-matrix. Furthermore, a parallel multisplitting iteration scheme for solving singular linear systems is suggested which can be applied to practical problems such as Poisson and elasticity problems under certain boundary conditions, the Neumann problem, and in Markov chains. A discussion of that multisplitting scheme, based on Gauss–Seidel type splittings is given for computing the stationary distribution vector of Markov chains. In this case a computational viable algorithm can be constructed, since only the nonsingularity of one weighting matrix of the multisplitting is needed. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

Convergence of a level‐set algorithm in scalar conservation laws

This article is concerned with the convergence of the level‐set algorithm introduced by Aslam (J Comput Phys 167 (2001), 413–438) for tracking the discontinuities in scalar conservation laws in the case of linear or strictly convex flux function. The numerical method is deduced by the level‐set representation of the entropy solution: the zero of a level‐set function is used as an indicator of the discontinuity curves and two auxiliary states, which are assumed continuous through the discontinuities, are introduced. We rewrite the numerical level‐set algorithm as a procedure consisting of three big steps: (a) initialization, (b) evolution, and (c) reconstruction. In (a), we choose an entropy admissible level‐set representation of the initial condition. In (b), for each iteration step, we solve an uncoupled system of three equations and select the entropy admissible level‐set representation of the solution profile at the end of the time iteration. In (c), we reconstruct the entropy solution using the level‐set representation. We prove the convergence of the numerical solution to the entropy solution in for every , using ‐weak bounded variation (BV) estimates and a cell entropy inequality. In addition, some numerical examples focused on the elementary wave interaction are presented. © 2014 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. Numer Methods Partial Differential Eq 31: 1310–1343, 2015     

Global solutions with shock waves to the generalized Riemann problem for a system of hyperbolic conservation laws with linear damping

It is proven that a class of the generalized Riemann problem for quasilinear hyperbolic systems of conservation laws with the uniform damping term admits a unique global piecewise C¹ solution u=u(t,x) containing only n shock waves with small amplitude on t?0 and this solution possesses a global structure similar to that of the similarity solution of the corresponding homogeneous Riemann problem. As an application of our result, we prove the existence of global shock solutions, piecewise continuous and piecewise smooth solution with shock discontinuities, of the flow equations of a model class of fluids with viscosity induced by fading memory with a single jump initial data. We also give an example to show that the uniform damping mechanism is not strong enough to prevent the formation of shock waves.

On the exact solutions,lie symmetry analysis,and conservation laws of Schamel–Korteweg–de Vries equation

In this work, we study the integrability aspects of the Schamel–Korteweg–de Vries equation that play an important role in studying the effect of electron trapping on the nonlinear interaction of ion‐acoustic waves by including a quasi‐potential. Lie symmetry analysis together with the simplest equation method and Kudryashov method is used to obtain exact traveling wave solutions for this equation. In addition, conservation laws are constructed using two different techniques, namely, the multiplier method and the new conservation theorem. Using the conservation laws and symmetries of the underlying equation, double reduction and exact solution were also constructed. Copyright © 2017 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

Closed form solution of electromagnetic wave diffraction problem in a homogeneous bi-isotropic medium

In this study, the problem of wave scattering of an electromagnetic field in a homogeneous bi-isotropic medium by a perfectly conducting strip is theoretically analyzed. The crux of the study is a rigorous construction of a closed form solution in the complex domain. A series solution of electromagnetic plane wave diffraction problem in terms of the eigenfunctions that happen to be the generalized Gamma functions is found. In the transformed domain, the scattered field is physically interpreted by computing the convergence history, and thereby, higher order accurate solution has been obtained in complex domain in closed form.

Solution of a multiple Nevanlinna–Pick problem for Carathéodory functions via orthogonal rational functions in the matrix case

We consider an interpolation problem of Nevanlinna–Pick type for matrix‐valued Carathéodory functions, where the values of the functions and its derivatives up to certain orders are given at finitely many points of the open unit disk. For the non‐degenerate case, i.e., in the particular situation that a specific block matrix (which is formed by the given data in the problem) is positive Hermitian, the solution set of this problem is described in terms of orthogonal rational matrix‐valued functions. These rational matrix functions play here a similar role as Szegő's orthogonal polynomials on the unit circle in the classical case of the trigonometric moment problem. In particular, we present and use a connection between Szegő and Schur parameters for orthogonal rational matrix‐valued functions which in the primary situation of orthogonal polynomials was found by Geronimus.
