Solvability of a nonlinear model Boltzmann equation in the problem of a plane shock wave

We consider a nonlinear system of integral equations describing the structure of a plane shock wave. Based on physical reasoning, we propose an iterative method for constructing an approximate solution of this system. The problem reduces to studying decoupled scalar nonlinear and linear integral equations for the gas temperature, density, and velocity. We formulate a theorem on the existence of a positive bounded solution of a nonlinear equation of the Uryson type. We also prove theorems on the existence and uniqueness of bounded positive solutions for linear integral equations in the space L ₁[?r, r] for all finite r < +∞. For a more general nonlinear integral equation, we prove a theorem on the existence of a positive solution and also find a lower bound and an integral upper bound for the constructed solution.

Some solvability problems for the Boltzmann equation in the framework of the Shakhov model

We consider the nonlinear Boltzmann equation in the framework of the Shakhov model for the classical problem of gas flow in a plane layer. The problem reduces to a system of nonlinear integral equations. The nonlinearity of the studied system can be partially simplified by passing to a new argument depending on the solution of the problem itself. We prove the existence theorem for a unique solution of the linear system and the existence theorem for a positive solution of the nonlinear Urysohn equation. We determine the temperature jumps on the lower and upper walls in the linear and nonlinear cases, and it turns out that the difference between them is rather small.     

On the topological structure of almost automorphic and asymptotically almost automorphic solutions of differential and integral equations in abstract spaces

The main purpose of this paper is to deal with almost automorphic and asymptotically almost automorphic solutions of the initial value problem as well as the nonlinear Volterra integral equation in Banach spaces. We obtain a collection of existence results of such solutions to these equations. We investigate also a topological structure of such solution sets. Moreover, we prove Aronszajn-type theorems for solutions of the initial value problem as well as the nonlinear Volterra integral equation, defined on the whole real line.     

Approximated Solution of a Nonlinear Singular Equation of Prandtl's Type

A nonlinear strongly singular integral equation, which can be reduced to a nonlinear singular integro-differential equation of Prandtl's type, is considered. A collocation method for solution is treated and the convergence of the approximated solution to the unique solution of the nonlinear integral equation is proved.     

Solution to the Boltzmann kinetic equation for high-speed flows

The Boltzmann kinetic equation is solved by a finite-difference method on a fixed coordinate-velocity grid. The projection method is applied that was developed previously by the author for evaluating the Boltzmann collision integral. The method ensures that the mass, momentum, and energy conservation laws are strictly satisfied and that the collision integral vanishes in thermodynamic equilibrium. The last property prevents the emergence of the numerical error when the collision integral of the principal part of the solution is evaluated outside Knudsen layers or shock waves, which considerably improves the accuracy and efficiency of the method. The differential part is approximated by a second-order accurate explicit conservative scheme. The resulting system of difference equations is solved by applying symmetric splitting into collision relaxation and free molecular flow. The steady-state solution is found by the relaxation method.

A numerical scheme for a class of nonlinear Fredholm integral equations of the second kind

In this paper an iterative approach for obtaining approximate solutions for a class of nonlinear Fredholm integral equations of the second kind is proposed. The approach contains two steps: at the first one, we define a discretized form of the integral equation and prove that by considering some conditions on the kernel of the integral equation, solution of the discretized form converges to the exact solution of the problem. Following that, in the next step, solution of the discretized form is approximated by an iterative approach. We finally on some examples show the efficiency of the proposed approach.     

Optimal control problem with an integral equation as the control object

We consider a nonlinear optimal control problem with an integral equation as the control object, subject to control constraints. This integral equation corresponds to the fractional moment of a stochastic process involving short-range and long-range dependences. For both cases, we derive the first-order necessary optimality conditions in the form of the Euler–Lagrange equation, and then apply them to obtain a numerical solution of the problem of optimal portfolio selection.

Determining the boundary of a two-dimensional region from the solution of the external initial boundary-value problem for the heat equation

We determine the boundary of a two-dimensional region using the solution of the external initial boundary-value problem for the nonhomogeneous heat equation. The initial values for the boundary determination include the right-hand side of the equation and the solution of the initial boundary-value problem given for finitely many points outside the region. The inverse problem is reduced to solving a system of two integral equations nonlinear in the function defining the sought boundary. An iterative procedure is proposed for numerical solution of the problem involving linearization of integral equations. The efficiency of the proposed procedure is investigated by a computer experiment.

On the convergence of Newton-like methods using restricted domains

We present a new semi-local convergence analysis for Newton-like methods in order to approximate a locally unique solution of a nonlinear equation containing a non-differentiable term in a Banach space setting. The new idea uses more precise convergence domains. This way the new sufficient convergence conditions are weaker, and the error bounds are tighter than in earlier studies. Applications and numerical examples, involving a nonlinear integral equation of Chandrasekhar-type, are also provided in this study.

We continue the investigation of the nonlinear problem of mean-square approximation of a real finite nonnegative continuous function of two variables by the modulus of a double Fourier integral depending on two parameters begun in the first part of this work [J. Math. Sci., 160, No. 3, 343–356 (2009)]. Finding the solutions of this problem is reduced to the solution of a nonlinear two-dimensional integral equation of the Hammerstein type. We construct and justify numerical algorithms for determination of branching lines and branched solutions of this equation. Numerical examples are presented.     

Exact Solutions and Integrability of the Duffing – Van der Pol Equation

The force-free Duffing–Van der Pol oscillator is considered. The truncated expansions for finding the solutions are used to look for exact solutions of this nonlinear ordinary differential equation. Conditions on parameter values of the equation are found to have the linearization of the Duffing–Van der Pol equation. The Painlevé test for this equation is used to study the integrability of the model. Exact solutions of this differential equation are found. In the special case the approach is simplified to demonstrate that some well-known methods can be used for finding exact solutions of nonlinear differential equations. The first integral of the Duffing–Van der Pol equation is found and the general solution of the equation is given in the special case for parameters of the equation. We also demonstrate the efficiency of the method for finding the first integral and the general solution for one of nonlinear second-order ordinary differential equations.
