A wavelet collocation method for evolution equations with energy conservation property

We describe a wavelet collocation method of computing numerical solutions to evolution equations that inherit energy conservation law. This method is based on the wavelet sampling approximation with Coifman scaling systems combined with the generalized energy integrals. In this paper, we shall focus on the theoretical background of our approach.

A general formula for decay rates of nonlinear dissipative systems

This work is concerned with stabilization of hyperbolic systems by a nonlinear feedback which can be localized on part of the boundary or locally distributed. We present here a general formula which gives the energy decay rates in terms of the behavior of the nonlinear feedback close to the origin. This formula allows us to unify for instance the cases where the feedback has a polynomial growth at the origin, with the cases where it goes exponentially fast to zero at the origin. We give also two other significant examples of nonpolynomial growth at the origin. We also show that we either obtain or improve significantly the decay rates of Lasiecka and Tataru (Differential Integral Equations 8 (1993) 507–533) and Martinez (Rev. Mat. Comput. 12 (1999) 251–283). To cite this article: F. Alabau-Boussouira, C. R. Acad. Sci. Paris, Ser. I 338 (2004).

Moment decay rates of infinite dimensional stochastic evolution equations with memory and Markovian jumps

The strong solutions approximation approach for mild solutions of stochastic functional differential equations with Markovian switching driven by Lévy martingales in Hilbert spaces is considered. Asymptotic behaviors with a general decay rate for the second moments of mild solutions of the above equations are obtained. An example is given to illustrate our theory.     

Coupled second order evolution equations with fading memory: Optimal energy decay rate

Of concern is the Cauchy problem for coupled second order semilinear evolution equations in a Hilbert space, with indirect memory-damping. We find an approach to obtain successfully an optimal rate of uniform decay for the system energy, only under basic conditions on the memory kernels. Simultaneously, the same rate is also obtained (with less difficulty) for the corresponding single memory-dissipative second order evolution equations. As can be seen, our results essentially improve the previously related ones in the literature. The abstract results are then applied to several concrete problems in the real world.     

Resolvent estimates and local energy decay for hyperbolic equations

Abstract We examine the cut-off resolvent R_χ(λ) = χ (–Δ_D – λ²)^–1χ, where Δ_D is the Laplacian with Dirichlet boundary condition and equal to 1 in a neighborhood of the obstacle K. We show that if R_χ(λ) has no poles for , then This estimate implies a local energy decay. We study the spectrum of the Lax-Phillips semigroup Z(t) for trapping obstacles having at least one trapped ray. Keywords: Trapping obstacles, Resonances, Local energy decay, Cut-off resolvent     

A new transform method for evolution partial differential equations

We introduce a new transform method for solving initial-boundary-valueproblems for linear evolution partial differential equationswith spatial derivatives of arbitrary order. This method isillustrated by solving several such problems on the half-line{t > 0, 0 < x < }, and on the quarter-plane {t >0, 0 < x_j < , j = 1, 2}. For equations in one space dimensionthis method constructs q(x, t) as an integral in the complexk-plane involving an x-transform of the initial condition anda t-transform of the boundary conditions. For equations in twospace dimensions it constructs q(x₁, x₂, t) as an integral inthe complex (k₁, k₂)-planes involving an (x₁, x₂)-transformof the initial condition, an (x₂, t)-transform of the boundaryconditions at x₁ = 0, and an (x₁, t)-transform of the boundaryconditions at x₂ = 0. This method is simple to implement andyet it yields integral representations which are particularlyconvenient for computing the long time asymptotics of the solution.     

Optimal decay rates of the compressible magnetohydrodynamic equations

We use a pure energy method recently developed by Guo and Wang to prove the optimal time decay rates of the solutions to the compressible magnetohydrodynamic equations in the whole space. In particular, the optimal decay rates of the higher-order spatial derivatives of solutions are obtained.     

A method for proving polynomial enumeration formulas

We present an elementary method for proving enumeration formulas which are polynomials in certain parameters if others are fixed and factorize into distinct linear factors over Z. Roughly speaking the idea is to prove such formulas by “explaining” their zeros using an appropriate combinatorial extension of the objects under consideration to negative integer parameters. We apply this method to prove a new refinement of the Bender-Knuth (ex-)Conjecture, which easily implies the Bender-Knuth (ex-)Conjecture itself. This is probably the most elementary way to prove this result currently known. Furthermore we adapt our method to q-polynomials, which allows us to derive generating function results as well. Finally we use this method to give another proof for the enumeration of semistandard tableaux of a fixed shape which differs from our proof of the Bender-Knuth (ex-)Conjecture in that it is a multivariate application of our method.

A sharp eigenvalue theorem for fractional elliptic equations

The invisibility graph I(X) of a set X ? R ^d is a (possibly infinite) graph whose vertices are the points of X and two vertices are connected by an edge if and only if the straight-line segment connecting the two corresponding points is not fully contained in X. We consider the following three parameters of a set X: the clique number ω(I(X)), the chromatic number χ(I(X)) and the convexity number γ(X), which is the minimum number of convex subsets of X that cover X.We settle a conjecture of Matou?ek and Valtr claiming that for every planar set X, γ(X) can be bounded in terms of χ(I(X)). As a part of the proof we show that a disc with n one-point holes near its boundary has χ(I(X)) ≥ log log(n) but ω(I(X)) = 3.We also find sets X in R⁵ with χ(X) = 2, but γ(X) arbitrarily large.

Local energy decay for linear wave equations with variable coefficients

A uniform local energy decay result is derived to the linear wave equation with spatial variable coefficients. We deal with this equation in an exterior domain with a star-shaped complement. Our advantage is that we do not assume any compactness of the support on the initial data, and its proof is quite simple. This generalizes a previous famous result due to Morawetz [The decay of solutions of the exterior initial-boundary value problem for the wave equation, Comm. Pure Appl. Math. 14 (1961) 561-568]. In order to prove local energy decay, we mainly apply two types of ideas due to Ikehata-Matsuyama [L²-behaviour of solutions to the linear heat and wave equations in exterior domains, Sci. Math. Japon. 55 (2002) 33-42] and Todorova-Yordanov [Critical exponent for a nonlinear wave equation with damping, J. Differential Equations 174 (2001) 464-489].     

A Legendre-Galerkin method for solving general Volterra functional integral equations

We propose in this paper a fully discrete Legendre-Galerkin method for solving general Volterra functional integral equations. The focus of this paper is the stability analysis of this method. Based on this stability result, we prove that the approximation equation has a unique solution, and then show that the Legendre-Galerkin method gives the optimal convergence order \(\mathcal {O}(n^{-m})\), where m denotes the degree of the regularity of the exact solution and n+1 denotes the dimensional number of the approximation space. Moreover, we establish that the spectral condition constant of the coefficient matrix relative to the corresponding linear system is uniformly bounded for sufficiently large n. Finally, we use numerical examples to confirm the theoretical prediction.

Optimal decay rates of classical solutions for the full compressible MHD equations

In this paper, we are concerned with optimal decay rates for higher-order spatial derivatives of classical solutions to the full compressible MHD equations in three-dimensional whole space. If the initial perturbation is small in \({H^3}\)-norm and bounded in \({L^q(q\in \left[1, \frac{6}{5} \right))}\)-norm, we apply the Fourier splitting method by Schonbek (Arch Ration Mech Anal 88:209–222, 1985) to establish optimal decay rates for the second-order spatial derivatives of solutions and the third-order spatial derivatives of magnetic field in \({L^2}\)-norm. These results improve the work of Pu and Guo (Z Angew Math Phys 64:519–538, 2013).
