Numerical method for an approximate solution to Bulgakov’s problem

A great deal of the attention devoted to controlled system dynamics optimization in the literature is given to Bulgakov’s familiar problem of the accumulation of perturbation in a linear system. A more general case of this problem is considered in this work. An approximate method for calculating the value characterizing maximum dispersion is discussed.     

A priori estimates of the solution of the dirichlet problem for the Monge-ampére equation in weight spaces

One proves that a priori boundedness of the norm of the solution of the problem det(U_xx)=f(x,u,u_x)>>0,u¦=0. The magnitudes of the exponents,() depends on whether the arguments u p occur or not in f (x,u,p).Translated from Zapiski Nauchnykh Seminarov Leningradskogo Otdeleniya Matematicheskogo Instituta im.

Iterative processes of Fejér type in ill-posed problems with a priori information

In the latter thirty years, the solution of ill-posed problems with a priori information formed a separate field of research in the theory of ill-posed problems. We mean the class of problems, where along with the basic equation one has some additional data on the desired solution. Namely, one states some relations and constraints which contain important information on the object under consideration. As a rule, taking into account these data in a solution algorithm, one can essentially increase its accuracy for solving ill-posed (unstable) problems. It is especially important in the solution of applied problems in the case when a solution is not unique, because this approach allows one to choose a solution that meets the reality. In this paper we survey the methods for solving such problems. We briefly describe all relevant approaches (known to us), but we pay the main attention to the method proposed by us. This technique is based on the application of iterative processes of Fejér type which admit a flexible and effective realization for a wide class of a priori constraints.     

Thet→∞ asymptotic regime of the Cauchy problem solution for the Toda chain with threshold-type Initial data

We obtain formulas allowing us to find solutions of the Toda chain using the inverse scattering transform method and investigate the t→∞ asymptotic behavior of the solutions. Translated from Teoreticheskaya i Matematicheskaya Fizika, Vol. 119, No. 3, pp. 429–440, June, 1999     

The unbounded solution of a periodic mixed Sturm–Liouville problem in an infinite strip for the Laplacian

The unbounded solution, at the points where the boundary conditions change, for a mixed Sturm–Liouville problem of the Dirichlet–Neumann type can be obtained using the method of the integral equation formulation. Since this formulation is usually reduced to an infinite algebraic system in which the unknowns are the Fourier coefficients of the unknown unbounded entity, a study of ?_p-solutions imposes itself concerning the influence of the truncation on such systems. This study is achieved and the well-known theorem on the ?₂-solutions of the infinite algebraic systems is generalized.     

A priori error estimates for a mixed finite element discretization of the Richards’ equation

Summary. A mixed finite element discretization is applied to Richards equation, a nonlinear, possibly degenerate parabolic partial differential equation modeling water flow through porous medium. The equation is considered in its pressure formulation and includes both variably and fully saturated flow regime. Characteristic for such problems is the lack in regularity of the solution. To handle this we use a time-integrated scheme. We analyze the scheme and present error estimates showing its convergence.Mathematics Subject Classification (2000): 65M12, 65M60, 76S05, 35K65Acknowledgments.

Boundedness of the gradient of a solution to the Neumann–Laplace problem in a convex domain

It is shown that solutions of the Neumann problem for the Poisson equation in an arbitrary convex n-dimensional domain are uniformly Lipschitz. Applications of this result to some aspects of regularity of solutions to the Neumann problem on convex polyhedra are given. To cite this article: V. Maz'ya, C. R. Acad. Sci. Paris, Ser.

Convergence of the method of orthogonal polynomials for approximate solution of integral equations of the first kind with Π-kernels

The method of orthogonal polynomials for approxiamte solution of integral equations of the first kind with -kernels is substantiated. The solvability of the corresponding algebraic systems is proved, and estimates for the rate of the convergence of approxiamte solutions to exact ones are established. The applicability of the method of orthogonal polynomials to approximate solution of integral equations of the second kind with -kernels is shown, as well as its high effectiveness in solving integral equations of the first kind with -kernels. Concrete -kernels, most often occurring in applications, are presented.Translated from Ukrainskii Matematicheskii Zhurnal, Vol. 43, No. 2, pp. 223–229, February, 1991.     

Blowup of the solution to the Cauchy problem with arbitrary positive energy for a system of Klein–Gordon equations in the de Sitter metric

The ?⁴ model of a scalar (complex) field in the metric of an expanding universe, namely, in the de Sitter metric is considered. The initial energy of the system can have an arbitrarily high positive value. Sufficient conditions for solution blowup in a finite time are obtained. The existence of blowup is proved by applying H.A. Levine’s modified method is used.     

Numerical solution of a variational problem with L∞ functionals

We consider the problem which consists in finding an optimal Lipschitz extension to the domain Ω of functions that verify the restriction u = g on ∂Ω. This work deals with the numerical approximations of the problem in dimension two. Using a discretization procedure based on finite differences method we obtain a large scale non smooth convex minimization problem, which is solved via Variable Metric Hibrid Proximal Point Method.

Prediction quality estimation for a two-phase scheme for solution of the “structure-property” problem

The paper is focused on methods of searching for quantitative structure property relationships for predicting the activity of chemical compounds. A two-phase scheme is proposed for solving the “structure-property” problem. An estimation of the quality of prediction with the use of a two-phase scheme is obtained. In particular, it is proved that the prediction quality is improved by the use of nontrivial rejection rules. Results of practical tests of the proposed method for solving the “structure-property” problem are presented, which confirm the efficiency of this approach.     

Hölder estimate for the solution of degenerate parabolic equations

Consider the degenerate parabolic equations of the type $$u_t = div A(x,t,u,Du) + b(x,t,u,Du)$$ which is of the same nature as $$u_t = div|Du|^p Du + |Du|^{p + 2} (p > 2).$$ This paper is to study the \(C^{1 + \alpha } ,\frac{{1 + \alpha }}{2}\) Hölder continuity of a class of degenerate parabolic equations and the existence and uniqueness of the initial boundary value problem.     

An approximation for the nonlinear filtering problem,with error bound †

For the standard continuous-time nonlinear filtering problem an approximation approach is derived. The approximate filter is given by the solution to an appropriate discrete-time approximating filtering problem that can be explicitly solved by a finite-dimensional procedure. Furthermore an explicit upper bound for the approximation error is derived. The approximating problem is obtained by first approximating the signal and then using measure transformation to express the original observation process in terms of the approximating signal
