Nonlocal Neumann problem for a degenerate parabolic equation

In the spaces of classical functions with power weight, we prove the existence and uniqueness of a solution of the nonlocal Neumann problem for nonuniformly parabolic equations without restrictions on the power order of coefficient degeneration. We find an estimate of the solution of this problem in the spaces considered. Chernovtsy State University, Chernovtsy.

A nonlocal problem for degenerate hyperbolic equation

We consider a nonlocal problem for a degenerate equation in a domain bounded by characteristics of this equation. The boundary-value conditions of the problem include linear combination of operators of fractional integro-differentiation in the Riemann–Liouville sense. The uniqueness of solution of the problem under consideration is proved by means of the modified Tricomi method, and existence is reduced to solvability of either singular integral equation with the Cauchy kernel or Fredholm integral equation of second kind.     

The mixed problem for a degenerate second-order hyperbolic equation

We study conditions for uniqueness and existence of a solution for the mixed problem for a second-order hyperbolic equation that is degenerate at a finite instant of time.Translated fromMatematicheskie Melody i Fiziko-Mekhanicheskie Polya, Issue 34, 1991, pp. 39–42.     

The finite element method for a degenerate hyperbolic partial differential equation

Cahlon has recently considered finite difference methods for the degenerate Cauchy problem (tu _t)_t=Δu,u(x, 0)=u ₀(x) withu ₀ analytic. In this paper existence of a unique solution is shown for a more general class of initial data. A smoothing property of the solution operator is then exhibited. The usual semidiscrete finite element method is considered. The approximation is shown to be stable and superconvergent with orderO(h ^2μ?2) inl ₂ andl _∞, whereμ?1 is the degree of the polynomials used. OptimalL ² andL ^∞ estimates are also derived.     

A degenerate hyperbolic equation under Levi conditions

Abstract We consider the Cauchy problem for a second order equation of hyperbolic type. This equation degenerates in two different ways. On one hand, the coefficients have a bad behavior with respect to time: there is a blow-up phenomenon in the first time derivative of the principal part’s coefficients, that is the derivative vanishes at the time t=0. On the other hand, the equation is weakly hyperbolic and the multiplicity of the roots is not constant, but zeroes are of finite order. Here we overcome the blow-up problem and, moreover, the finitely degeneration of the Cauchy problem allows us to give an appropriate Levi condition on the lower order terms in order to get C^∞ well posedness of the Cauchy problem. Keywords: Cauchy problem, Hyperbolic equations, Levi conditions     

Propagation of the singularities of solutions of initial-boundary-value problems for first-order hyperbolic systems

One proves a certain variant of the lemma on the finite velocity of the propagation of singularities for the solutions of first order hyperbolic systems. This result has been already used in a series of papers on the spectral asymptotics of elliptic operators.Translated from Zapiski Nauchnykh Seminarov Leningradskogo Otdeleniya Matematicheskogo Instituta im.

Solvability of the classical initial-boundary-value problems for the heat-conduction equation in a dihedral angle

One proves the unique solvability of the fundamental initial-boundary-value problems for the heat-conduction equation in an -dimensional infinite dihedral angle and one obtains coercive estimates of their solutions in weighted Hölder norms. The Neumann problem is investigated in detail; for the Dirichlet problem and for the problem with mixed boundary conditions, one gives the formulation of the basic result.Translated from Zapiski Nauchnykh Seminarov Leningradskogo Otdeleniya Matematicheskogo Instituta im.

Nonlocal boundary problems for a third-order one-dimensional nonlinear pseudoparabolic equation

We consider initial boundary value problems for a third-order nonlinear pseudoparabolic equation with one space dimension. The boundary condition is given by an integral; the function involved could exhibit singularities, which distinguishes this nonlocal condition from its Dirichlet or Neumann counterparts. By means of appropriate elliptic estimates we are able to seek solutions not only in the weighted spaces but also in the usual Sobolev spaces. The procedure is carried out in a unified way. Our results characterize a regularity of the pseudoparabolic operator that is different from that of the parabolic operator.     

Energy estimate and fundamental solution for degenerate hyperbolic Cauchy problems

The aim of this paper is to give an uniform approach to different kinds of degenerate hyperbolic Cauchy problems. We prove that a weakly hyperbolic equation, satisfying an intermediate condition between effective hyperbolicity and the C^∞ Levi condition, and a strictly hyperbolic equation with non-regular coefficients with respect to the time variable can be reduced to first-order systems of the same type. For such a kind of systems, we prove an energy estimate in Sobolev spaces (with a loss of derivatives) which gives the well-posedness of the Cauchy problem in C^∞. In the strictly hyperbolic case, we also construct the fundamental solution and we describe the propagation of the space singularities of the solution which is influenced by the non-regularity of the coefficients with respect to the time variable.
