Local energy decay of solutions of linearized shallow-water equations

We prove the local decay of the energy of the solution to a mixed initial boundary value problem for the linearized shallow-water equations with constant coefficients, where the domain is a half-plane, a certain dissipative boundary condition is prescribed and the initial data have compact support contained in the open half-plane.     

Solutions with compact support to the Cauchy problem of an equation modeling the motion of viscous droplets

The Cauchy problem to an equation arising in modeling the motion of viscous droplets is studied in the present paper. The authors prove that if the initial data has compact support, then there exists a weak solution which has compact support for all the time.     

Persistence properties for a family of nonlinear partial differential equations

We examine the persistence of decay properties for a family of dispersive nonlinear partial differential equations. We show that certain decay properties of the initial data persist for as long as the solution exists. On the other hand, for a subset of the family certain decay rates are possible only for the trivial solution. For example, the only solution that remains with compact support for any further time is the trivial solution.     

Stability of a supersonic flow past a wedge with adjoint weak neutrally stable shock wave

We study the classical problem of a supersonic stationary flow of a nonviscous nonheat-conducting gas in local thermodynamic equilibrium past an infinite plane wedge. Under the Lopatinski? condition on the shock wave (neutral stability), we prove the well-posedness of the linearized mixed problem (the main solution is a weak shock wave), obtain a representation of the classical solution, where, in this case (in contrast to the case of the uniform Lopatinski? condition—an absolutely stable shock wave), plane waves additionally appear in the representation. If the initial data have compact support, the solution reaches the given regime in infinite time.     

Estimation of 1-dimensional nonlinear stochastic differential equations based on higher-order partial differential equation numerical scheme and its application

A method based on higher-order partial differential equation (PDE) numerical scheme are proposed to obtain the transition cumulative distribution function (CDF) of the diffusion process (numerical differentiation of the transition CDF follows the transition probability density function (PDF)), where a transformation is applied to the Kolmogorov PDEs first, then a new type of PDEs with step function initial conditions and 0, 1 boundary conditions can be obtained. The new PDEs are solved by a fourth-order compact difference scheme and a compact difference scheme with extrapolation algorithm. After extrapolation, the compact difference scheme is extended to a scheme with sixth-order accuracy in space, where the convergence is proved. The results of the numerical tests show that the CDF approach based on the compact difference scheme to be more accurate than the other estimation methods considered; however, the CDF approach is not time-consuming. Moreover, the CDF approach is used to fit monthly data of the Federal funds rate between 1983 and 2000 by CKLS model.

Global Existence of Classical Solution with Small Initial Total Variation for Quasilinear Linearly Degenerate Hyperbolic Systems

In this paper, the author proves the global existence of classical solution to the Cauchy problem with slowly decaying initial data with small initial total variation for general first order quasilinear linearly degenerate hyperbolic systems. This generalizes the corresponding result of A.Bressan for initial data with compact support.     

Singular Cauchy problem for the equation of flow of thin viscous films with nonlinear convection

For multidimensional equations of flow of thin capillary films with nonlinear diffusion and convection, we prove the existence of a strong nonnegative generalized solution of the Cauchy problem with initial function in the form of a nonnegative Radon measure with compact support. We determine the exact upper estimate (global in time) for the rate of propagation of the support of this solution. The cases where the degeneracy of the equation corresponds to the conditions of “strong” and “weak” slip are analyzed separately. In particular, in the case of “ weak” slip, we establish the exact estimate of decrease in the L ²-norm of the gradient of solution. It is well known that this estimate is not true for the initial functions with noncompact supports. __________ Translated from Ukrains’kyi Matematychnyi Zhurnal, Vol. 58, No. 2, pp. 250–271, February, 2006.     

Blowup of smooth solutions to the compressible Navier-Stokes equation with compact density

We present a sufficient condition on the blowup of smooth solutions to the compressible Navier-Stokes equations in arbitrary space dimensions with initial density of compact support. As an immediate application, it is shown that any smooth solutions to the compressible Navier-Stokes equations for polytropic fluids in the absence of heat conduction will blow up in finite time as long as the initial densities have compact support, and an upper bound, which depends only on the initial data, on the blowup time follows from our elementary analysis immediately. Another implication is that there is no global small (decay in time) or even bounded (in the case that all the viscosity coefficients are positive) smooth solutions to the compressible Navier-Stokes equations for polytropic fluids, no matter how small the initial data are, as long as the initial density is of compact support. This is in contrast to the classical theory of global existence of small solutions to the same system with initial data being a small perturbation of a constant state that is not a vacuum. The blowup of smooth solutions to the compressible Euler system with initial density and velocity of compact support is a simple consequence of our argument. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.     

On local strong solutions to the Cauchy problem of the two-dimensional full compressible magnetohydrodynamic equations with vacuum and zero heat conduction

This paper concerns the Cauchy problem of the two-dimensional full compressible magnetohydrodynamic equations with zero heat-conduction and vacuum as far field density. In particular, the initial density can have compact support. We prove that the Cauchy problem admits a local strong solution provided both the initial density and the initial magnetic field decay not too slow at infinity.     

A parallel computational scheme with ninth-order multioperator approximations and its application to direct numerical simulation

The properties of ninth-order multioperator compact schemes based on known third-and fifth-order compact approximations are examined. The domains where the multioperators have fixed signs are determined numerically. The numerical results are compared with the exact solution to the Burgers equation. The multioperator schemes are applied to the problem of vortex sheet roll-up.     

Investigation of properties of the solutions of hyperbolic stochastic PDEs

In this paper we investigate the compact support property of the solutions of hyperbolic Stochastic PDE (SPDE) providing that initial condition function is deterministic and has compact support property. First, to approach this problem, we consider semi-SPDE. It turns out that in the semi-SPDE case solution u (t, x) preserve compact support property. When we consider SPDE, we use the stochastic differential-difference equations (SDDE) approach. It turns out that in SPDE case solution u (t, x) does not preserve compact support property. So, if we compare the semi-SPDE and SPDE then it becomes obvious that differentiation in space in SPDE plays crucial role and influence the behavior of the solution.

Formation of singularities in solutions to the compressible radiation hydrodynamics equations with vacuum

We study the Cauchy problem for multi-dimensional compressible radiation hydrodynamics equations with vacuum. First, we present some sufficient conditions on the blow-up of smooth solutions in multi-dimensional space. Then, we obtain the invariance of the support of density for the smooth solutions with compactly supported initial mass density by the property of the system under the vacuum state. Based on the above-mentioned results, we prove that we cannot get a global classical solution, no matter how small the initial data are, as long as the initial mass density is of compact support. Finally, we will see that some of the results that we obtained are still valid for the isentropic flows with degenerate viscosity coefficients as well as for one-dimensional case.     

Infinite propagation speed for the Degasperis-Procesi equation

We prove that any nontrivial classical solution of the Degasperis-Procesi equation will not have compact support if its initial data has this property.     

Blow Up of Classical Solutions to $\Box$ U=|u|1+α in Three Space Dimensions

We study the life span of classical solutions to ◻u = |u|^{1+α} in three space dimensions with initial data t = 0: u = εf(x), u, = εg(x), where f and g have compact support and are not both identically zero, ε is a small parameter. We obtain respectively upper and lower bounds of the same order of magnitude for the life span for sufficiently small ε in case 1 ≤ α ≤ \sqrt{2}. We also proved that the classical solution always blows up even when ε = 1 in the critical case α = \sqrt{2}.

Two-Level preconditioned Krylov subspace methods for the solution of three-dimensional heterogeneous Helmholtz problems in seismics

In this paper we address the solution of three-dimensional heterogeneous Helmholtz problems discretized with compact fourth-order finite difference methods with application to acoustic waveform inversion in geophysics. In this setting, the numerical simulation of wave propagation phenomena requires the approximate solution of possibly very large linear systems of equations. We propose an iterative two-grid method where the coarse grid problem is solved inexactly. A single cycle of this method is used as a variable preconditioner for a flexible Krylov subspace method. Numerical results demonstrate the usefulness of the algorithm on a realistic three-dimensional application. The proposed numerical method allows us to solve wave propagation problems with single or multiple sources even at high frequencies on a reasonable number of cores of a distributed memory cluster.     

Infinite propagation speed of a weakly dissipative modified two-component Dullin–Gottwald–Holm system

We consider the infinite propagation speed of a weakly dissipative modified two-component Dullin–Gottwald–Holm (mDGH2) system. The infinite propagation speed is derived for the corresponding solution with compactly supported initial data that does not have compact support any longer in its lifespan.     

On local classical solutions to the Cauchy problem of the two-dimensional barotropic compressible Navier–Stokes equations with vacuum

This paper concerns the Cauchy problem of the barotropic compressible Navier–Stokes equations on the whole two-dimensional space with vacuum as far field density. In particular, the initial density can have compact support. When the shear and the bulk viscosities are a positive constant and a power function of the density respectively, it is proved that the two-dimensional Cauchy problem of the compressible Navier–Stokes equations admits a unique local strong solution provided the initial density decays not too slow at infinity. Moreover, if the initial data satisfy some additional regularity and compatibility conditions, the strong solution becomes a classical one.
