Recovering the initial distribution for space-fractional diffusion equation by a logarithmic regularization method

In this paper, the backward problem for space-fractional diffusion equation is investigated. We proposed a so-called logarithmic regularization method to solve it. Based on the conditional stability and an a posteriori regularization parameter choice rule, the convergence rate estimates are given under a-priori bound assumption for the exact solution.

Blowup of solutions for the “bad” Boussinesq-type equation

The paper studies the blowup of solutions to the initial boundary value problem for the “bad” Boussinesq-type equation u_tt−u_xx−bu_xxxx=σ(u)_xx, where b>0 is a real number and σ(s) is a given nonlinear function. By virtue of the energy method and the Fourier transform method, respectively, it proves that under certain assumptions on σ(s) and initial data, the generalized solutions of the above-mentioned problem blow up in finite time. And a few examples are shown, especially for the “bad” Boussinesq equation, two examples of blowup of solutions are obtained numerically.     

Existence and approximation of solutions to nonlinear hybrid ordinary differential equations

In this note, we consider the initial value problem for first order nonlinear hybrid ordinary differential equations and we discuss the existence and approximation of the solutions. The main results are related to a recent work by Dhage et al. (2014) through the restructuring of some of the hypotheses imposed and the extension of some of the results there. In addition, we provide an example to illustrate the applicability of the abstract results developed.

Blowup of solutions for improved Boussinesq type equation

The paper studies the existence and uniqueness of local solutions and the blowup of solutions to the initial boundary value problem for improved Boussinesq type equation u_tt−u_xx−u_xxtt=σ(u)_xx. By a Galerkin approximation scheme combined with the continuation of solutions step by step and the Fourier transform method, it proves that under rather mild conditions on initial data, the above-mentioned problem admits a unique generalized solution u∈W^2,∞([0,T];H²(0,1)) as long as . In particular, when σ(s)=as^p, where a≠0 is a real number and p>1 is an integer, specially a<0 if p is an odd number, the solution blows up in finite time. Moreover, two examples of blowup are obtained numerically.

This paper concerns the behaviour of the apsidal angle for orbits of central force system with homogeneous potential of degree −2?α?1$-2?\alpha ?1$ and logarithmic potential.

The monotonicity of the apsidal angle as function of ? is discussed and it is proved in the logarithmic potential case.

Concentration and cavitation phenomena of Riemann solutions for the isentropic Euler system with the logarithmic equation of state

The analytical solutions of the Riemann problem for the isentropic Euler system with the logarithmic equation of state are derived explicitly for all the five different cases. The concentration and cavitation phenomena are observed and analyzed during the process of vanishing pressure in the Riemann solutions. It is shown that the solution consisting of two shock waves converges to a delta shock wave solution as well as the solution consisting of two rarefaction waves converges to a solution consisting of four contact discontinuities together with vacuum states with three different virtual velocities in the limiting situation.     

The method of fundamental solutions with eigenfunction expansion method for nonhomogeneous diffusion equation

In this article we describe a numerical method to solve a nonhomogeneous diffusion equation with arbitrary geometry by combining the method of fundamental solutions (MFS), the method of particular solutions (MPS), and the eigenfunction expansion method (EEM). This forms a meshless numerical scheme of the MFS‐MPS‐EEM model to solve nonhomogeneous diffusion equations with time‐independent source terms and boundary conditions for any time and any shape. Nonhomogeneous diffusion equation with complex domain can be separated into a Poisson equation and a homogeneous diffusion equation using this model. The Poisson equation is solved by the MFS‐MPS model, in which the compactly supported radial basis functions are adopted for the MPS. On the other hand, utilizing the EEM the diffusion equation is first translated to a Helmholtz equation, which is then solved by the MFS together with the technique of the singular value decomposition (SVD). Since the present meshless method does not need mesh generation, nodal connectivity, or numerical integration, the computational effort and memory storage required are minimal as compared with other numerical schemes. Test results for two 2D diffusion problems show good comparability with the analytical solutions. The proposed algorithm is then extended to solve a problem with irregular domain and the results compare very well with solutions of a finite element scheme. Therefore, the present scheme has been proved to be very promising as a meshfree numerical method to solve nonhomogeneous diffusion equations with time‐independent source terms of any time frame, and for any arbitrary geometry. © 2006 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

On the ZK equation with a directional dissipation

This paper studies the generalized Zakharov-Kuznetsov-Burgers equation. The initial value problem associated to this equation will be investigated in the nonhomogeneous Sobolev spaces and some suitable weighted spaces, under appropriate conditions. Moreover, an ill-posedness result (in some sense) will be proved in the anisotropic Sobolev spaces. Furthermore some exact traveling wave solutions of this equation will be obtained.

We study the stationary problem in the whole space ?ⁿ for the drift–diffusion model arising in semiconductor device simulation and plasma physics. We prove the existence and uniqueness of stationary solutions in the weighted L^p spaces. The proof is based on a fixed point theorem of the Leray–Schauder type.

Functions of finite logarithmic order in the unit disc,Part I

The concept of logarithmic order in the unit disc forms a bridge between meromorphic functions of unbounded Nevanlinna characteristic and meromorphic functions of (usual) zero order of growth. A collection of fundamental results for meromorphic functions of finite logarithmic order is given. Some of these results are reminiscent from the finite order case. Part I of this paper culminates in solving the inverse problem related to the famous defect relation in the case of finite logarithmic order. Part II deals with the analytic case.     

Existence and uniqueness of solutions to a class of singular diffusion problems

Existence, uniqueness, and non-uniqueness results are given for a class of singular diffusion problems with variable diffusion rates. Continuity arguments are used on related initial value problems to produce the existence results. Uniqueness criteria are established for different sets of hypotheses and non-uniqueness results are discussed when these hypotheses fail.     

Global existence, asymptotic behavior and blowup of solutions for a class of nonlinear wave equations with dissipative term

The paper studies the global existence, asymptotic behavior and blowup of solutions to the initial boundary value problem for a class of nonlinear wave equations with dissipative term. It proves that under rather mild conditions on nonlinear terms and initial data the above-mentioned problem admits a global weak solution and the solution decays exponentially to zero as t→+∞, respectively, in the states of large initial data and small initial energy. In particular, in the case of space dimension N=1, the weak solution is regularized to be a unique generalized solution. And if the conditions guaranteeing the global existence of weak solutions are not valid, then under the opposite conditions, the solutions of above-mentioned problem blow up in finite time. And an example is given.
