PERTURBATION SOLUTION OF THE WEAK-NONLINEAR DIFFERENTIAL EQUATION WITH δ-FUNCTION

In this paper, starting from some fundamental properties of Heaviside function and δ-function, making use of singular perturbation methods we provide a method of finding the asymptotic analytic solution of equation where M is an n -order linear differential operator, f(u) is a polynomial. By means of this method, we discuss some examples concretely. The results can be explained satisfac-torily in physics. If we deal with linear problem by this method, the result will agree with that drawn from theorem of impulse.     

On the problem of preventing blowing-up and quenching for semilinear heat equation

In this paper,the global existence of solutions to the IVP=Δu+g(t)f(u) (t>0),u|_(t=0)=u_0(x)and the (?)PVPu_t=Δu-g(t,x)f(u)(t>0,x∈Ω),u|_(t-0)=u|_(?)(?)is investigated. As has been done in [6]the (?)duction of factor g(t) or g(t.x) innonlinear term is to prevent(?) occurrance of blowing-up or quenching of solutions.It isshown in this paper that most of the restrictions on f,g and u_0 in the theorems of[6] maybe cancelled or relaxed,that the smallness of g is required only for t large,and thatunder certain conditions controlling initial state can avoid blowing-up.     

Determination of source parameter in parabolic equations

The authors consider the problem of finding u=u(x, t) and p=p(t) which satisfy u = Lu + p(t) + F(x, t, u, _x, p(t)) in Q _T=Ω×(0, T], u(x, 0)=ø(x), x∈Ω, u(x, t)=g(x, t) on ?Ω×(0, T] and either ∫_G(t) Φ(x,t)u(x,t)dx = E(t), 0 ? t ? T or u(x₀, t)=E(t), 0≤t≤T, where Ω?R ⁿ is a bounded domain with smooth boundary ?Ω, x ₀∈Ω, L is a linear elliptic operator, G(t)?Ω, and F, ø, g, and E are known functions. For each of the two problems stated above, we demonstrate the existence, unicity and continuous dependence upon the data. Some considerations on the numerical solution for these two inverse problems are presented with examples.     

Self-similar problem of the motion of a plane layer of heated material with an arbitrary equation of state

The self-similar problem of the nonstationary motion of a plane layer of material in which energy from an external source is released for values of the flux density q₀ on the boundary which are constant in time is considered. The self-similar variable is = m/t, where m is the Lagrangian mass coordinate and t is the time. The characteristic values of the velocity, density, and pressure do not vary with time. For a self-similar problem the energy flux density q must also depend only on the self-similar variable. In this case q() can be an arbitrary function of its argument and can be given by a table. Examples are presented of actual physical processes in which the mass of the energy-release zone increases linearly with time. The equation of state can have an arbitrary form, including specification by a table. The gaseous state of matter for an arbitrary variable adiabatic exponent, the condensed state, and a two-phase state can be described. A solution of the self-similar problem is presented for the heating of a half-space bounded by a vacuum for a certain specific equation of state and various flux densities q₀ and velocities M of the advance of the energy-release zone.Translated from Zhurnal Prikladnoi Mekhanika i Tekhnicheskoi Fiziki, No. 5, pp. 136–145, September–October, 1975.     

Some anomalies of the curved bar problem in classical elasticity

The classical formulation of the homogeneous problem of a curved bar loaded only by and end force involves the assumption of an appropriate stress function with four arbitrary constants and the determination of these constants from the boundary conditions. Since there are five boundary conditions, four on the curved edge and one at the end, the solution is only possible because the coefficient matrix of the resulting algebraic equations is singular. This in turn means that certain inhomogeneous problems in which the curved edges are loaded by sinusoidally varying tractions cannot be solved using apparently appropriate stress functions.Additional stress functions which resolve this difficulty are introduced and an example problem is solved, which exhibits qualitatively different behavior from that in more general cases of loading. The problem is then reconsidered as a limiting case of sinusoidal loading of arbitrary wavelength. It is shown that the solution of the latter problem appears to become unbounded as the special case is approached, but that when the end conditions have been correctly satisfied by superposing an appropriate multiple of the end-loaded solution, the limit can be approached regularly and the correct special solution is recovered. The limiting process reveals a general procedure for determining the additional stress functions required for the special case.Similar relationships between homogeneous and inhomogeneous solutions for other common geometries are discussed.     

SINGULAR PERTURBATION OF NONLINEAR BOUNDARY VALUE PROBLEMS

In this paper we consider the boundary value problem where ε.μ are two positive parameters. Under f_y≤-k<0 and other suitable restrictions, there exists a solution and it satisfied where y_(0,0)(x) is solution of reduced problem while y_i-j,j(x)(j=0,1,...,i;i=1,2,...,m) can be obtained successively from certain linear equations.     

Averaging the Boltzmann kinetics equation with respect to transverse velocity for one-dimensional gas flows

By averaging the Boltzmann kinetics equation with respect to the transverse velocities we obtain a system of two integrodifferential equations for two unknown functions that depend on the longitudinal velocity u, time t, and the x coordinate.It is assumed that the particles interact with one another like perfectly elastic spheres. The integrals appearing in the equations are double integrals. The reduction of the number of variables, with the unknown functions and the low multiplicity of the integrals make possible a computer solution of the one-dimensional problems in both the steady and unsteady cases.As an example, the resulting equations are solved numerically for the problem of shock wave structure.     

Optimal flow control for Navier–Stokes equations: drag minimization

Optimal control and shape optimization techniques have an increasing role in Fluid Dynamics problems governed by partial differential equations (PDEs). In this paper, we consider the problem of drag minimization for a body in relative motion in a fluid by controlling the velocity through the body boundary. With this aim, we handle with an optimal control approach applied to the steady incompressible Navier–Stokes equations. We use the Lagrangian functional approach and we consider the Lagrangian multiplier method for the treatment of the Dirichlet boundary conditions, which include the control function itself. Moreover, we express the drag coefficient, which is the functional to be minimized, through the variational form of the Navier–Stokes equations. In this way, we can derive, in a straightforward manner, the adjoint and sensitivity equations associated with the optimal control problem, even in the presence of Dirichlet control functions. The problem is solved numerically by an iterative optimization procedure applied to state and adjoint PDEs which we approximate by the finite element method.

This paper deals.with the singular perturbation of the boundary value problem of the systems for quasi-linear ordinary differential equations where x,f, y, h, A, B and C all belong to Rm, and g is an n×n matrix function. Under suitable conditions we prove the existence of the solutions by diagonalization and the fixed point theorem and also estimate the remainder.

Channel flow of an anisotropically conducting medium in a zone of entry into a magnetic field

A considerable number of papers are devoted to the problem of the deformation of a plane flow of a conducting liquid moving through a channel |x| < , 0 y h=const in a zone of entry into a magnetic field B=(0, 0, B. (x)), where (x) is the Heaviside unit function((x)=0 for x < 0 and (x)=i for x < 0). Apparently the first paper in this direction was that of Shercliff [1, 2] in which the asymptotic (for x .o- )profile of a perturbed velocity was. determined for a flow of an isotropic conducting liquid in a channel with nonconducting walls. The flow considered by Shemliff takes place in magnetohydrodynarnic flowmeters. Complete calculation of the perturbed flow of an isotropie conducting liquid in the channel of a magnetohydrodynamic generator is carried out in [3]. Asymptotic velocity profiles in the channel of a magnetohydrodynamic generator, with ideally segmented electrodes and the flow of an anisotropically conducting medium along them, were found in [4]. General formulas for the calculation of the asymptotic velocity profile, from the known distribution of the perturbing forces along the channel, are presented in [5]. In [6, 7] the Green function is proposed for the solution of the equation for the stream function of the perturbed flow. Finally, in [8], the solution for the perturbed flow of an anisotropically conducting liquid in a channel with continuous electrodes is described by means of the Green function, and the asymptotic profiles of the velocity are calculated.In this paper the flow of anauisotropically conducting liquid is determined in a channel with ideally segmented electrodes. The solution is set up with the aid of the Fourier method. The resulting series, in which the slowly converging part can be related to the asymptotic profile [4] calculated from the solution of an ordinary differential equation, make it possible to determine the velocity field rapidly. A detailed deformation pattern of the velocity profile is set up. Certain general properties of the flow in a zone of entry into a magnetic field are noted; with the aid of these it is possible to discover the error in the calculations [8].

Kantorovich solution for the problem of bending of a ladder plate

Based on the Kantorovich approximation solution for a rectangular plate in bending, this paper deals with the solutions for the ladder plate with various boundary conditions. The deflection of the plate is expressed in a first-order displacement function w(x,y)=u(x,y)v(y) where the u(x,y) in x direction is the generalized beam function. By making use of the principle of least potential energy, the variable coefficients differential equations for v(y) may be established. By solving is, these differential eugations and making use of the boundary conditions, the accurate solutions of v(y) in y direction may be obtained. Then the displacement function w(x,y) is the solution for the problem of the bending of the ladder plate with a better degree of approximation.     

Construction of piecewise-analytical gas flows joined through shock waves near the axis or center of symmetry

Analytical solutions of a quasilinear system of equations with partial derivatives are constructed in the case where the initial data for different functions are specified on different surfaces and the resultant problem has singularities of the form u/x and w/x. Conditions for existence and uniqueness of a solution in the form of formal power series for the problem posed and sufficient conditions for convergence of the series are indicated. A generalization of the problem considered is given. Results of the study are used to solve the problem of the focussing of a compression wave generated by a piston moving smoothly in a quiescent gas: a solution for t=0, including determination of the piston trajectory, and a solution for t<0, including unequivocal construction of the front of a reflected shock wave, are uniquely constructed from the distribution of gas-dynamic quantities for t>0. The solution of this problem is a generalization to the case of two independent variable self-similar Sedov's solutions. Ural State Academy of Communications, Ekaterinburg 620034.

The Boubaker polynomials and their application to solve fractional optimal control problems

In this paper, we focus on Boubaker polynomials in fractional calculus area and obtain the operational matrix of Caputo fractional derivative and the operational matrix of the Riemann–Liouville fractional integration for the first time. Also, a general formulation for the operational matrix of multiplication of these polynomials has been achieved to solve the nonlinear problems. Then, these matrices are applied to solve fractional optimal control problems directly. In fact, the functions of the problem are approximated by Boubaker polynomials with unknown coefficients in the constraint equations, performance index and conditions. Thus, a fractional optimal control problem converts to an optimization problem, which can then be solved easily. Convergence of the algorithm is proved. Numerical results are given for several test examples to demonstrate the applicability and efficiency of the method.     

Singular perturbation of boundary value problem for a vector fourth order nonlinear differential equation

We study the vector boundary value problem with boundary perturbations: ε~2y~((4))=f(x,y,y″,ε, μ) ( μ<χ<1-μ) y(χ,ε,μ)l_(χ-μ)= A_1(ε,μ), y(χ,ε,μ)l_(χ-1-μ)=B_1(ε,μ) y″(χ,ε,μ)l_(χ-μ)=A_2(ε,μ),y″(χ,ε,μ)l_(χ-1-μ)=B_2(ε,μ)where yf, A_j and B_j (j=1,2) are n-dimensional vector functions and ε,μ are two small positive parameters. This vector boundary value problem does not appear to have been studied, although the scalar boundary value problem has been treated. Under appropriate assumptions, using the method of differential inequalities we find a solution of the vector boundary value problem and obtain the uniformly valid asymptotic expansions.     

An application of non-singularity BEM to plate bending, buckling and natural vibration problems

In this paper the fundamental solution of the singular governing equation of plate static bending is taken as the Green's function, which can satisfy the governing equation precisely in the plate region. Based on the principle of superposition, let the function values on the plate boundary, induced by a set of the Green's function sources (including the known sources in the plate region and the unknown sources in the fictitious region), satisfy the prescribed conditions on specially chosen boundary matching points, and the corresponding semi-analytical and semi-numerical solution can be obtained, which is free from the restraint of boundary forms and boundary conditions. The more matching points there are on the boundary, the better the accuracy of results is. Finally, in static bending problems a set of linear algebraic equations has to be computed; in buckling problems the minimum value of buckling eigenvalue equation has to be found; in natural vibration problems the eigenvalues of the frequency equation have to be calculated. Numerical examples are given and the results are compared with those by the analytical method and other methods. It can be seen that they are very close to each other.

An investigation of one third-order equation not allowed with respect to the time derivative

This paper is devoted to an investigation of the equation ut+u_x+uu_x =u_xxt+u_xx, which is a model equation for the problem of the nonsteady filtration of two immiscible liquids. A combined problem on all axes is set up for this equation: The initial condition u(0, x) and the boundary conditions at infinity are assigned. A solution of the special form u₀(x – ct), whose propagation velocity c is determined from the boundary conditions, is analyzed. The stability of this solution in a linear approximation is demonstrated in a certain particular case.Translated from Izvestiya Akademii Nauk SSSR, Mekhanika Zhidkosti i Gaza, No. 6, pp. 96–103, November–December, 1978.In conclusion, the author thanks G.
