Effect of interconvertibility of electromagnetic and gravitational waves in strong external electromagnetic fields and the propagation of waves in the field of a charged “black hole” : PMM vol. 38, n 6, 1974, pp. 1122–1129

It is shown that the behavior of an arbitrary wave propagating in the field of a nonrotating charged black hole is defined (with the use of quadratures) by four functions. Each of these functions obeys its second order equation of the wave kind. Short electromagnetic waves falling onto a black hole are reflected by its field in the form of gravitational and electromagnetic waves whose amplitude was explicitly determined. In the case of the wave carrying rays winding around the limit cycle the reflection and transmission coefficients were obtained in the form of analytic expressions.Various physical processes taking place inside, as well as outside a collapsing star, may induce perturbations of the gravitational, electromagnetic and other fields, and lead to the appearance in the surrounding space of waves of various kinds which propagate over a distorted background and are dissipated along its inhomogeneities.In the absence of rotation and charge in a star, the analysis of small perturbations of the gravitational fields is based on the system of Einstein equations linearized around the Schwarzschild solution. In [1, 2] this system of equations, after expansion of perturbations in spherical harmonics and Fourier transformation with respect to time, was reduced to two independent linear ordinary differential equations of second order of the form of the stationary Schrödinger equation for a particle in a potential force field. Each of these equations defines one of two possible independent perturbation kinds: “even” and “odd” (the different behavior of spherical tensor harmonics at coordinate inversion is the deciding factor in the determination of the kind of perturbation [1, 2]). Although these equations were derived with the superposition on the perturbations of the metric of specific coordinate conditions, they define, as shown in [4], the behavior of invariants of the perturbed gravitational field, which imparts to the potential barriers appearing in these equations an invariant meaning.The system of Maxwell equations on the background of Schwarzschild solution also reduces to similar equations, which differ from the above only by the form of potential barriers appearing in these [5].In the presence in the unperturbed solution of a strong electromagnetic field the gravitational and electromagnetic waves interact with each other, and transmutation takes place. The train of short periodic electromagnetic waves generates the accompanying train of gravitational waves. This phenomenon was first analyzed in [6] on and arbitrary background. It was shown in [7, 8] that dense stars surrounded by hot plasma may acquire a charge owing to splitting of charges by radiation pressure and the “sweeping out” of positrons nascent in vapors in strong electrostatic fields. The interaction of waves becomes particularly clearly evident in the neighborhood of black holes which may serve as “valves” by maintaining equilibrium between the relict electromagnetic and gravitational radiation in the Universe. Rotation of black holes intensifies this effect [6].If a nonrotating star possesses an electrostatic charge, the definition of perturbations of the electromagnetic and gravitational fields must be based on the complete system of Einstein-Maxwell equations linearized around the Nordström-Reissner solution. (Small perturbations of electromagnetic field outside a charged black hole were considered in [9, 10] on the basis of the system of Maxwell equations on a “rigid” background of the Nordström-Reissner solution, without taking into account the interconvertibility of gravitational and electromagnetic waves, which materially affects their behavior in the neighborhood of a charged black hole). Here this system of equations which define the interacting gravitational and electromagnetic perturbations are reduced to four independent second order differential equations, two for each kind of perturbations (an importsnt part is played here by the coordinate conditions imposed on the perturbations of the metric, proposed by the authors in [4]). Perturbation components of the metric and of the electromagnetic field are determined in quadratures by the solutions of these equations. If the charge of a star tends to vanish, two of the derived equations convert to equations for gravitational waves on the background of the Schwarzschild solution [1, 2], while the twoothers become equations which are equivalent to Maxwell solutions on the same background. The short-wave asymptotics of derived equations is determined throughout including the neighborhood of the limit cycle for the wave carrying rays. These solutions far away from the point of turn coincide with those obtained in [6] for any arbitrary background. Approximation of geometric optics does not provide correct asymptotics for impact parameters of rays which are close to critical for which the Isotropie and geodesic parameters wind around the limit cycle. This case is investigated below.A similar situation in the Schwarzschild field was analyzed in [11], where analytic expressions for the wave reflection and transmission coefficients were determined, and the integral radiation stream trapped by a black hole produced by another radiation component of the dual system was calculated.     

On stability in terms of two measures of a hybrid system having partly invisible solutions

We consider three different dynamic systems. The first runs “smoothly” during a certain finite time interval, undergoes an abrupt change in the dynamics during the next (finite) time interval and is governed by the second system. The solution of this second system lies on a surface for a finite amount of time and becomes invisible. At the beginning of the third phase, the system is subjected to an impulse which causes the solution to leave the surface and we have the new hybrid impulsive system. In this paper, we employ two measures to find suitable conditions so that the new system again runs as smoothly as the first.     

On Majda' Model For Dynamic Combustion

Majda's model of dynamic combustion, consists of the system,

In this paper the Cauchy problem is considered. A weak entropy solution for this system is defined, existence, uniqueness and continuous dependence on initial data are proved, as well as finite propagation speed, for initial data in . The existence is proved via the "vanishing viscosity method". Furthermore it is proved that the solution to the Riemann problem converges as to the Z–N–D traveling wave solution. In the appendices, a second order numerical scheme for the model is described, and some numerical results are presented.     

Forced oscillations with a sliding regime range of a two-mass system interacting with a fixed stop : PMM vol. 37, n6, 1973, pp. 999–1006

We investigate, by the method developed in [1]. the forced oscillations with a sliding regime range of a two-mass system with elastic connection between the elements, impacting a fixed stop. The system being considered is a dynamic model for a number of vibrational mechanisms. Forced oscillations with a sliding regime range of a system with shock interactions are periodic motions accompanied by a period of an infinite succession of instantaneous collisions of two fixed elements of the model [2]. Within the framework of conditions of roughness of the parameter space [3], in this paper we study by the method of [1] periodic motions with a sliding regime range of a two-mass system with a stop. This problem was posed because in real systems the velocity recovery factor R changes from shock to shock, mainly taking small values (0, 0.2). At the same time, the regions of realizability of one-impact oscillations, in practice the most essential ones among motions with a finite number of interactions over a period, narrow down sharply as R decreases and becomes very small even for R < 0.6 [4]. Thus, the stability of the given operation can be ensured by a law of motion which is independent or weakly dependent on R (^*) (see footnote on the next page). By virtue of what has been said above, finite-impact periodic modes are little suitable for this purpose. Regions, delineated in the parameter space of the model being considered, of existence of stable periodic motions with a sliding regime range have proved to be sufficiently broad. By virtue of the adopted approximation of the sliding regime, the dynamic characteristics of these motions do not depend upon R. The circumstances mentioned confirm the practical value of motions with a sliding regime range in dynamic systems with impact interactions.     

Multidimensional inverse-scattering and clifford analysis

We present a higher-dimensional method based on Clifford analysis. To explain the method we consider, the formal solution of the inverse scattering problem for the n-dimensional time-dependent Schrödinger equations given by Nachman and Ablowitz [1]. Replacing the general complex Cauchy formula by a higher-dimensional analogue, we get rid of the “miracle condition”.     

Case of a generating family of quasi-periodic solutions in the theory of small parameter : PMM vol. 37, n6, 1973, pp. 990–998

We consider the problem of the existence and the stability in-the-small of periodic solutions of systems of ordinary differential equations with a small parameter μ, which in the generating approximation (μ = 0) admit of a family of quasi-periodic solutions (we are concerned only with the solutions belonging to the indicated family when μ = 0). The case to be investigated is in a specific sense a more general case of the unisolated generating solution in the small parameter theory and, therefore, includes everything previously treated by Malkin [1], Blekhman [2], and others. The main difficulty in the investigation is the presence of a multiple zero root in the characteristic determinant of the problem's generating system, to which both simple as well as quadratic elementary divisors [3] correspond. This fact predestines the presence of three groups of stability criteria for the solution being examined. The method for constructing these criteria, proposed here, assumes, in contrast to a previous one [1], the preliminary determination of not only the generating approximation but also the first one to the desired periodic solution. Particular aspects of the general “mixed” problem treated here were studied earlier in [4, 5].     

Critical Blowup for Systems of Semilinear Wave Equations in Low Space Dimensions

We consider the Cauchy problem for systems of semilinear wave equations in two and three space dimensions with small initial data. Del Santo et al. [“Geometric Optics and Related Topics” (F. Colombini and N. Lerner, Eds.), Progress in Nonlinear Differential Equations and Their Applications, Vol. 32, pp. 117–140, Birkhauser, Boston, 1997] have studied the existence and nonexistence of global classical solutions of the Cauchy problem except for the critical case. In this paper we study the critical case, and we show the nonexistence of global classical solutions and also give the upper bounds of the life span.     

Stability of Rarefaction Waves to the 1D Compressible Navier–Stokes Equations with Density-Dependent Viscosity

In this paper, we study the asymptotic stability of rarefaction waves for the compressible isentropic Navier–Stokes equations with density-dependent viscosity. First, a weak solution around a rarefaction wave to the Cauchy problem is constructed by approximating the system and regularizing the initial values which may contain vacuum states. Then some global in time estimates on the weak solution are obtained. Based on these uniform estimates, the vacuum states are shown to vanish in finite time and the weak solution we constructed becomes a unique strong one. Consequently, the stability of the rarefaction wave is proved in a weak sense. The theory holds for large-amplitudes rarefaction waves and arbitrary initial perturbations.     

Cauchy problem for equations of internal waves

The Cauchy problem is considered for the equation of internal waves to which reduce many problems of the linear theory of waves in a continuously stratified fluid. The theorem of uniqueness is proved, and the formula for explicit representation of solution in terms of integrals whose kernels contain the obtained in /1/ fundamental solution of the internal wave operator and its time derivative are derived. Asymptotic analysis of solution in the “distant zone” is carried out for large values of dimensionless time.     

Multicritical phenomena in flow of viscoelastic liquids. 1. Zaremba-Fromm-De Witt liquid

It has been shown that multicritical phenomena caused by nonlinearity of viscosity and high elasticity, and forced anisotropy at finite shear rates take place during flow of viscoelastic polymer melts which are isotropic in the resting state. The sign of the low-frequency asymptotic values of the dynamic viscosity and elasticity measured during steady flow is a criterion of the appearance of instability. These arguments are illustrated by the solution and analysis of the complex reaction to low-amplitude, periodic shear of a steady-flowing, very simple viscoelastic liquid — ZFD liquid. It was shown that the instability of viscoelastic liquids for a given steady shear rate is due to the effect of perturbations lasting for no less than some limiting value and its manifestations are caused by superposition of different types of instability — multicritical phenomena.Translated from Mekhanika Kompozitnykh Materialov, Vol. 31, No. 4, pp. 555–572, July–August, 1995.The study was conducted based on Topic 93,177 of the Latvian Science Council.     

On the stability of space-periodic convective flows in a vertical layer with sinuous boundaries : PMM vol. 43, no. 6, 1979, pp. 998–1007

The problem of convection in a vertical layer with harmonically distorted boundaries is examined by perturbation theory methods for a small amplitude of sinuosity. The solutions obtained are applicable both in the stability region as well as in the supercritical region of the plane-parallel flow. The stability of the solutions found is investigated with respect to a certain class of space-bounded perturbations that are not necessarily space-periodic. The method of amplitude functions [1], generalized to the case of curved boundaries, is used. The Grashof critical number is found as a function of the period of sinuosity and the form of the neutral curve for the space-periodic motions and their stability region are obtained. It is established that if the deformation period of the boundaries is close to the wavelength of the critical perturbation for the plane-parallel flow or is twice as great, then as the Grashof number grows stability loss does not occur and the motion's amplitude changes continuously (cf. [2 — 4]). A comparison is made with the results of the numerical calculation in [5], An attempt was made in [6] to construct a stationary periodic motion in a layer with weakly-deformed boundaries, in the form of series in powers of a small sinuosity amplitude. However, the solution obtained diverges in a neighborhood of the neutral curve of the plane-parallel flow and approximates unstable motion in the supercritical region of the unperturbed problem. Flows under a finite sinuosity amplitude are calculated by the net method in [5] wherein the stability of the flows was investigated as well, but only with respect to perturbations with wave numbers that are multiples of 2π/l, where l is the length of the calculated region.

Blowup in a mass-conserving convection-diffusion equation with superquadratic nonlinearity

A nonlinear convection-diffusion equation with boundary conditions that conserve the spatial integral of the solution is considered. Previous results on finite-time blowup of solutions and on decay of solutions to the corresponding Cauchy problem were based on the assumption that the nonlinearity obeyed a power law. In this paper, it is shown that assumptions on the growth rate of the nonlinearity, which take the form of weak superquadraticity and strong superlinearity criteria, are sufficient to imply that a large class of nonnegative solutions blow up in finite time.

     

Perron's method for second order hyperbolic PDE. Part I

In parts I, II, and III combined of this paper, we define a notion of viscosity solution for these equations and existence is proved by a Perron-like method. Here, in part I, we prove useful identities, and a maximum-like principle for smooth sub(super) solutions of the standard wave equation. We define a new potential theoretic (P) notion of solution, subsolution and supersolution, and a related potential type (P) Cauchy problem for semilinear second order hyperbolic equations.     

An application of the monotone iterative method to a combustion problem in porous media

Problems related to combustion fronts in porous media have been studied by many authors recently, see e.g. [Y. Akkutlu, Y.C. Yortsos, The dynamics of in-situ combustion fronts in porous media, Combust. Flame 134 (2003) 239–247; J.C. da Mota, W. Dantas, D. Marchesin, Combustion fronts in porous media, SIAM J. Appl. Math. 62 (2002) 2175–2198; D.A. Schult, B.J. Matkowsky, V.A. Volpert, A.C. Fernandez-Pello, Forced forward smolder combustion, Combust. Flame 104 (1996) 1–26]. Most of this interest is due to the combustion process for oil recovery.In this paper we construct monotone iteractions for a Cauchy problem arising from a combustion model in a porous medium derived in [J.C. da Mota, S. Schecter, Combustion fronts in a porous medium with two layers, J. Dynam. Differential Equations 18 (3) (2006) 615–665]. We conclude that the monotone iteractions converge to a unique solution of this Cauchy problem, globally in time.     

On the Nonlinear Initial Value Problem for Vortex–Wave Interactions in Shear Flows

Small-amplitude wave systems interacting nonlinearly can produce 0(1)amplitude streamwise vortex structures through the vortex–wave interaction mechanism described, for example, by [1–3]. The key feature of the interaction is that the spanwise velocity component of a vortex is small as compared to the streamwise component so that a nonlinear wave system driving the spanwise velocity component through Reynolds stresses can provoke a 0(1) response of the vortex. The wave system can correspond to either a Rayleigh or Tollmien–Schlichting wave disturbance, but previous work on the initiation of the process has been confined to Rayleigh waves (see, for example, [5, 6]). Here, we address the nonlinear initial value problem for Tollmien–Schlichting wave–vortex interactions in channel flows. The evolution of the disturbances is accounted for using the phase equation approach of [7]. We determine the circumstances, if any, under which the finite amplitude vortex–wave equilibrium states of [4] are generated. Our discussion of the nonlinear evolution of a wave system points toward a possible mechanism for the experimentally observed breakup of three-dimensional instabilities into shorter streamwise scales.     

Influence of geometrical nonlinearity on the waves propagating through a thin, free plate : PMM vol. 43, no. 6, 1979, pp. 1089–1094

Exact wave solutions of the equations of motion of a thin plate are obtained for the one-dimensional case of a first approximation model. The dependence of the velocity of propagation of flexural-longitudinal waves on their frequency is computed for different values of the amplitude of the bending components. The nonlinear character of the relation connecting the deformations and displacements in the theory of thin shells may give rise to effects which cannot be described in terms of the linear approximation even in those cases when the Hooke's law still holds [1]. The estimation of the magnitude of the displacements at which the effects caused by the geometrical nonlinearity become apparent, is of interest.     

On dynamic effects in an elastic half-space under “thermal impact” : PMM vol. 38, n 6, 1974, pp. 1105–1113

The general uncoupled dynamical problem of thermoelasticity for a half-space under the condition of a thermal impact with a finite rate of change in temperature on its boundary is solved by the method of principal (fundamental) functions within the framework of a generalized theory of heat conduction.An elastic steel half-space is analyzed as an illustration. The problem on thermal stresses originating in an elastic half-space due to thermal impact produced by a jump change in temperature on the boundary was first analyzed in [1]. Since the temperature change on the boundary occurs at a finite rate, it is generally impossible to realize the thermal impact considered in [1] physically. The dynamic effects in an elastic half-space under a thermal impact with finite rate of change in the temperature on the boundary have been studied in [2]. For high rates of change of the heat flux we obtain a generalized wave equation of heat conduction [3] taking into account the finite velocity of heat propagation. Hence, the solution of the ordinary parabolic heat conduction equation used in [1, 2] does not correspond to the true temperature field. The problems of [1, 2] have been examined in [4, 5], respectively, within the framework of a generalized theory of heat conduction.
