Discrete and continuous maximum principles for parabolic and elliptic operators

The major qualitative properties of linear parabolic and elliptic operators/PDEs are the different maximum principles (MPs). Another important property is the stabilization property (SP), which connects these two types of operators/PDEs. This means that under some assumptions the solution of the parabolic PDE tends to an equilibrium state when t→∞, which is the solution of the corresponding elliptic PDE. To solve PDEs we need to use some numerical methods, and it is a natural requirement that these qualitative properties are preserved on the discrete level. In this work we investigate this question when a two-level discrete mesh operator is used as the discrete model of the parabolic operator (which is a one-step numerical procedure for solving the parabolic PDE) and a matrix as a discrete elliptic operator (which is a linear algebraic system of equations for solving the elliptic PDE). We clarify the relation between the discrete parabolic maximum principle (DPMP), the discrete elliptic maximum principle (DEMP) and the discrete stabilization property (DSP). The main result is that the DPMP implies the DSP and the DEMP.     

Equi-surjective systems of linear operators and applications

In this paper we study a system of linear operators between finite-dimensional Euclidean spaces. Emphasis is made on unbounded systems and sufficient conditions are established for their equi-surjectivity. An application is presented in which a system of approximate Jacobian matrices is used to obtain a parametric interior mapping theorem. A multiplier rule for vector problems is also derived.

Existence principles for higher-order nonlocal boundary-value problems and their applications to singular Sturm-Liouville problems

We present existence principles for the nonlocal boundary-value problem (φ(u^(p−1)))′=g(t,u,...,u^(p−1), α_k(u)=0, 1≤k≤p−1, where p ≥ 2, π: ℝ → ℝ is an increasing and odd homeomorphism, g is a Carathéodory function that is either regular or has singularities in its space variables, and α _k: C ^p−1[0, T] → ℝ is a continuous functional. An application of the existence principles to singular Sturm-Liouville problems (−1)ⁿ(φ(u⁽²ⁿ⁻⁾))′=f(t,u,...,u⁽²ⁿ⁻¹⁾), u^(2k)(0)=0, α_ku^(2k)(T)+b_ku^(2k=1)(T)=0, 0≤k≤n−1, is given.

Differential calculus for linear operators represented by finite signed measures and applications

We introduce a differential calculus for linear operators represented by a family of finite signed measures. Such a calculus is based on the notions of g-derived operators and processes and g-integrating measures, g?being a right-continuous nondecreasing function. Depending on the choice of?g, this differential calculus works for non-smooth functions and under weak integrability conditions. For linear operators represented by stochastic processes, we provide a characterization criterion of g-differentiability in terms of characteristic functions of the random variables involved. Various illustrative examples are considered. As an application, we obtain an efficient algorithm to compute the Riemann zeta function ??(z) with a geometric rate of convergence which improves exponentially as ?(z) increases.     

Nonlinear perturbations of linear accretive operators in Banach spaces

It is shown that a strongly continuous semi-group of nonlinear nonexpansive operators can be constructed as lim _n→∞ ((I+t/nB)⁻¹ (I+t/nB)⁻¹) ⁿ whereA is a linearm-accretive operator,B is a nonlinearm-accretive operator, andB satisfies a boundedness condition relative toA.
