On the solution of Dirichlet’s problem of the complex Monge–Ampère equation for the Cartan–Hartogs domain of the first type

The complex Monge–Ampère equation is a nonlinear equation with high degree; therefore getting its solution is very difficult. In the present paper how to get the solution of Dirichlet’s problem of the complex Monge–Ampère equation on the Cartan–Hartogs domain of the first type is discussed, using an analytic method. Firstly, the complex Monge–Ampère equation is reduced to a nonlinear ordinary differential equation, then the solution of Dirichlet’s problem of the complex Monge–Ampère equation is reduced to the solution of a two-point boundary value problem for a nonlinear second-order ordinary differential equation. Secondly, the solution of Dirichlet’s problem is given as a semi-explicit formula, and in a special case the exact solution is obtained. These results may be helpful for a numerical method approach to Dirichlet’s problem of the complex Monge–Ampère equation on the Cartan–Hartogs domain of the first type.     

Exact travelling wave solutions for the generalized nonlinear Schrödinger (GNLS) equation with a source by Extended tanh–coth, sine–cosine and Exp-Function methods

The capability of Extended tanh–coth, sine–cosine and Exp-Function methods as alternative approaches to obtain the analytic solution of different types of applied differential equations in engineering mathematics has been revealed. In this study, the generalized nonlinear Schrödinger (GNLS) equation is solved by three different methods. To obtain the single-soliton solutions for the equation, the Extended tanh–coth and sine–cosine methods are used. Furthermore, for this nonlinear evolution equation the Exp-Function method is applied to derive various travelling wave solution. Results show that while the first two procedures easily provide a concise solution, the Exp-Function method provides a powerful mathematical means for solving nonlinear evolution equations in mathematical physics.     

The solution of linear and nonlinear systems of Volterra functional equations using Adomian–Pade technique

The purpose of this study is to implement Adomian–Pade (Modified Adomian–Pade) technique, which is a combination of Adomian decomposition method (Modified Adomian decomposition method) and Pade approximation, for solving linear and nonlinear systems of Volterra functional equations. The results obtained by using Adomian–Pade (Modified Adomian–Pade) technique, are compared to those obtained by using Adomian decomposition method (Modified Adomian decomposition method) alone. The numerical results, demonstrate that ADM–PADE (MADM–PADE) technique, gives the approximate solution with faster convergence rate and higher accuracy than using the standard ADM (MADM).

By using the time estimate of the Fornberg–Whitham equation, we get the compact and bounded absorbing set and the existence of the global attractor for the viscous Fornberg–Whitham equation.

We consider the Nevanlinna–Pick interpolation problem for Stieltjes matrix functions. We obtain two criteria for the indeterminacy of the Nevanlinna–Pick problem with infinitely many interpolation nodes. In the indeterminate case, we describe the general solution of the Nevanlinna–Pick problem in terms of fractional-linear transformations.

Estimation of the error of approximation of the analytic solution of problems for nonlinear viscoelastic materials

Estimates are given for the error of approximation of the solution of problems of nonlinear viscoelastic media, for which the nonlinear elastic solution depends analytically on the material characteristics, the body and surface forces, and on the boundary displacements. From the integral estimates particular estimates are derived for viscoelastic materials in cases when the nonlinear elastic solution is majorized by a geometric progression or the sum of products of geometric progressions.Moscow Institute of Electronic Engineering.

Stability of transversally isotropic shells coupled with an elastic foundation

The stability of shells coupled with an elastic Winkler foundation is investigated. It is assumed that the shell is made of a material (glass-reinforced plastic) with low resistance to shear, as a result of which generalized theories that take transverse shear strains into account [1–4] must be used in the stability calculations. The solution obtained is compared with the corresponding solution obtained on the basis of the classical Kirchhoff-Love theory [8].Lvov Polytechnic Institute.

Finding a Zero of The Sum of Two Maximal Monotone Operators

In this paper, the equivalence between variational inclusions and a generalized type of Weiner–Hopf equation is established. This equivalence is then used to suggest and analyze iterative methods in order to find a zero of the sum of two maximal monotone operators. Special attention is given to the case where one of the operators is Lipschitz continuous and either is strongly monotone or satisfies the Dunn property. Moreover, when the problem has a nonempty solution set, a fixed-point procedure is proposed and its convergence is established provided that the Brézis–Crandall–Pazy condition holds true. More precisely, it is shown that this allows reaching the element of minimal norm of the solution set.     

The Dependence of Solution Uniqueness Classes of Boundary Value Problems for General Parabolic Systems on the Geometry of an Unbounded Domain

Higher-order compact finite difference method for systems of reaction–diffusion equations

This paper is concerned with a compact finite difference method for solving systems of two-dimensional reaction–diffusion equations. This method has the accuracy of fourth-order in both space and time. The existence and uniqueness of the finite difference solution are investigated by the method of upper and lower solutions, without any monotone requirement on the nonlinear term. Three monotone iterative algorithms are provided for solving the resulting discrete system efficiently, and the sequences of iterations converge monotonically to a unique solution of the system. A theoretical comparison result for the various monotone sequences is given. The convergence of the finite difference solution to the continuous solution is proved, and Richardson extrapolation is used to achieve fourth-order accuracy in time. An application is given to an enzyme–substrate reaction–diffusion problem, and some numerical results are presented to demonstrate the high efficiency and advantages of this new approach.     

Structure of the set of stationary solutions of phase-lock equations in superconductivity

In previous article [M. Zhan, Phase-lock equations and its connections to Ginzburg–Landau equations of superconductivity, J. Nonlinear Anal. 42 (2000) 1063–1075], we introduced a system of equations (phase-lock equations) to model the superconductivity phenomena. We investigated its connection to Ginzburg–Landau equations and proved the existence and uniqueness of both weak and strong solutions. In this article, we study the steady-state problem associated with the phase-lock equations. We prove that the steady-state problem has multiple solutions and show that the solution set enjoys some structural properties as proved by Foias and Teman for the Navier–Stokes equations in [C. Foias, R. Teman, Structure of the set of stationary solutions of the Navier–Stokes equations, Commun. Pure Appl. Math. XXX (1977) 149–164].

An Analog of the Poincarée Separation Theorem for Normal Matrices and the Gauss–Lucas Theorem

We establish an analog of the Cauchy–Poincarée separation theorem for normal matrices in terms of majorization. A solution to the inverse spectral problem (Borg type result) is also presented. Using this result, we generalize and extend the Gauss–Lucas theorem about the location of roots of a complex polynomial and of its derivative. The generalization is applied to prove old conjectures due to de Bruijn–Springer and Schoenberg.

Mathematical justification of a nonlinear integro-differential equation for the propagation of spherical flames

This paper is devoted to the justification of an asymptotic model for quasisteady three-dimensional spherical flames proposed by G. Joulin [17]. The paper [17] derives, by means of a three-scale matched asymptotics, starting from the classical thermo-diffusive model with high activation energies, an integro-differential equation for the flame radius. In the derivation, it is essential for the Lewis Number – i.e. the ratio between thermal and molecular diffusion – to be strictly less than unity. If is the inverse of the – reduced – activation energy, the idea underlying the construction of [17] is that (i) the time scale of the radius motion is ^-2, and that (ii) at each time step, the solution is -close to a steady solution.In this paper, we give a rigorous proof of the validity of this model under the restriction that the Lewis number is close to 1 – independently of the order of magnitude of the activation energy. The method used comprises three steps: (i) a linear stability analysis near a steady – or quasi-steady – solution, which justifies the fact that the relevant time scale is ^-2; (ii) the rigorous construction of an approximate solution; (iii) a nonlinear stability argument.
