Kinetic decomposition for kinetic models of BGK type

In this paper, we consider kinetic models of BGK type which describe the scalar conservation law at the microscopic scale. We use new technique developed in Comm. Partial Differential Equations 27 (2002) 1229 in order to get the convergence. First, we obtain the approximate transport equation for the given kinetic models of BGK type. Then using the averaging lemma, we obtain the convergence. This paper shows how to relate the given kinetic model with the averaging lemma to get the convergence.     

Kinetic decomposition for singularly perturbed higher order partial differential equations

In this paper, we consider singularly perturbed higher order partial differential equations. We establish the condition under which the approximate solutions converge in a strong topology to the entropy solution of a scalar conservation laws using methodology developed in Hwang and Tzavaras (Comm. Partial Differential Equations 27 (2002) 1229). First, we obtain the approximate transport equation for the given dispersive equations. Then using the averaging lemma, we obtain the convergence.     

Singular limit problem of the Camassa-Holm type equation

We consider a shallow water equation of Camassa-Holm type, containing nonlinear dispersive effects as well as fourth order dissipative effects. We prove the strong convergence and establish the condition under which, as diffusion and dispersion parameters tend to zero, smooth solutions of the shallow water equation converge to the entropy solution of a scalar conservation law using methodology developed by Hwang and Tzavaras [S. Hwang, A.E. Tzavaras, Kinetic decomposition of approximate solutions to conservation laws: Applications to relaxation and diffusion-dispersion approximations, Comm. Partial Differential Equations 27 (2002) 1229-1254]. The proof relies on the kinetic formulation of conservation laws and the averaging lemma.     

Thermo-chemical modelling of the formation of a composite material

We consider a composite material composed of carbon or glass fibres included in a resin which becomes solid when it is heated up (the reaction of reticulation).

A mathematical model of the cure process is given by a kinetic equation describing the evolution of the reaction of reticulation coupled with the heat equation. The geometry of the composite material is periodic, with a small period ? >0, thus we get a coupled system of nonlinear partial differential equations.

First we prove the existence and uniqueness of a solution by using a fixed point theorem and we obtain a priori estimates. Then we derive the homogenized problem which describes the macroscopic behaviour of the material. We prove the convergence of the solution of the problem to the solution of the homogenized problem when ? tends to zero as well as the estimates for the difference of the exact and the approximate solutions.     

Well-posedness of weak and strong solutions to the kinetic Cucker–Smale model

In this paper, we develop a unified framework that can be used to establish the well-posedness of kinetic Cucker–Smale model with or without noise, for general initial data regardless of the supports; meanwhile we rigorously justify the vanishing noise limit. Our proof is based on weighted energy estimates and the velocity averaging lemma in kinetic theory.     

Linear Openness of the Composition of Set-Valued Maps and Applications to Variational Systems

In this paper we study the linear openness of the composition of set-valued maps carried out thanks to applications of Nadler’s fixed point theorem and Lim’s lemma. As a byproduct, we obtain the Lipschitz property of the solution map of a generalized parametric equation and of parametric approximate variational inequalities, as well.     

Regularized continuous analog of the newton method for monotone equations in a Hilbert space

In a Hilbert space we construct a regularized continuous analog of the Newton method for nonlinear equation with a Fréchet differentiable and monotone operator. We obtain sufficient conditions of its strong convergence to the normal solution of the given equation under approximate assignment of the operator and the right-hand of the equation.     

Lattice Approximations for Stochastic Quasi-Linear Parabolic Partial Differential Equations driven by Space-Time White Noise II

We approximate quasi-linear parabolic SPDEs substituting the derivatives with finite differences. We investigate the resulting implicit and explicit schemes. For the implicit scheme we estimate the rate of L^p convergence of the approximations and we also prove their almost sure convergence when the nonlinear terms are Lipschitz continuous. When the nonlinear terms are not Lipschitz continuous we obtain convergence in probability provided pathwise uniqueness for the equation holds. For the explicit scheme we get these results under an additional condition on the mesh sizes in time and space.     

Regularity for diffuse reflection boundary problem to the stationary linearized Boltzmann equation in a convex domain

We investigate the regularity issue for the diffuse reflection boundary problem to the stationary linearized Boltzmann equation for hard sphere potential, cutoff hard potential, or cutoff Maxwellian molecular gases in a strictly convex bounded domain. We obtain pointwise estimates for first derivatives of the solution provided the boundary temperature is bounded differentiable and the solution is bounded. This result can be understood as a stationary version of the velocity averaging lemma and mixture lemma.     

The h-p version of the coupling of finite element and boundary element methods for transmission problems in polyhedral domains

Summary. This paper analyzes the rate of convergence of the h-p version of the coupling of the finite element and boundary element method for transmission problems with a linear differential operator with variable coefficients in a bounded polyhedral domain and with constant coefficients in the exterior domain . This procedure uses the variational formulation of the differential equation in and involves integral operators on the interface between and . The finite elements are used to obtain approximate solutions of the differential equation in and the boundary elements are used to obtain approximate solutions of the integral equations. For given piecewise analytic data we show that the Galerkin solution of this coupling procedure converges exponentially fast in the energy norm if the h-p version is used both for finite elements and boundary elements.

Weak convergence of approximate solutions of stochastic equations with applications to random differential and integral equations ∗

In this paper, we considerably extend our earlier result about convergence in distribution of approximate solutions: of random operator equations, where the stochastic inputs and the underlying deterministic equation are simultaneously approximated. As a by-product, we obtain convergence results for approximate solutions of equations between spaces of probability measures. We apply our results to random Fredholm integral equations of the second kind and to a random [nbar]onlinear elliptic boundary value problem.     

A finite difference scheme for nonlinear ultra-parabolic equations

In this paper, our aim is to study a numerical method for an ultraparabolic equation with nonlinear source function. Mathematically, the bibliography on initial–boundary value problems for ultraparabolic equations is not extensive although the problems have many applications related to option pricing, multi-parameter Brownian motion, population dynamics and so forth. In this work, we present the approximate solution by virtue of finite difference scheme and Fourier series. For the nonlinear case, we use an iterative scheme by linear approximation to get the approximate solution and obtain error estimates. A numerical example is given to justify the theoretical analysis.

A modified quasi-boundary value method for ill-posed problems

In this paper, we study a final value problem for first order abstract differential equation with positive self-adjoint unbounded operator coefficient. This problem is ill-posed. Perturbing the final condition we obtain an approximate nonlocal problem depending on a small parameter. We show that the approximate problems are well posed and that their solutions converge if and only if the original problem has a classical solution. We also obtain estimates of the solutions of the approximate problems and a convergence result of these solutions. Finally, we give explicit convergence rates.     

Approximation of solutions to impulsive functional differential equations

In this paper we shall study a semilinear impulsive functional differential equation in a separable Hilbert space. We shall use the analytic semigroups theory of linear operators and fixed point technique to establish the existence, uniqueness, and the convergence of approximate solutions to the given problem. We will also prove the existence and convergence of finite-dimensional approximate solutions to the given problem. An example is also illustrated.     

Optimal homotopy analysis and control of error for solutions to the non-local Whitham equation

The Whitham equation is a non-local model for nonlinear dispersive water waves. Since this equation is both nonlinear and non-local, exact or analytical solutions are rare except for in a few special cases. As such, an analytical method which results in minimal error is highly desirable for general forms of the Whitham equation. We obtain approximate analytical solutions to the non-local Whitham equation for general initial data by way of the optimal homotopy analysis method, through the use of a partial differential auxiliary linear operator. A method to control the residual error of these approximate solutions, through the use of the embedded convergence control parameter, is discussed in the context of optimal homotopy analysis. We obtain residual error minimizing solutions, using relatively few terms in the solution series, in the case of several different kernels and associated initial data. Interestingly, we find that for a specific class of initial data, there exists an exact solution given by the first term in the homotopy expansion. A specific example of initial data which satisfies the condition producing an exact solution is included. These results demonstrate the applicability of optimal homotopy analysis to equations which are simultaneously nonlinear and non-local.     

Initial–boundary value problems for conservation laws with source terms and the Degasperis–Procesi equation

We consider conservation laws with source terms in a bounded domain with Dirichlet boundary conditions. We first prove the existence of a strong trace at the boundary in order to provide a simple formulation of the entropy boundary condition. Equipped with this formulation, we go on to establish the well-posedness of entropy solutions to the initial–boundary value problem. The proof utilizes the kinetic formulation and the averaging lemma. Finally, we make use of these results to demonstrate the well-posedness in a class of discontinuous solutions to the initial–boundary value problem for the Degasperis–Procesi shallow water equation, which is a third order nonlinear dispersive equation that can be rewritten in the form of a nonlinear conservation law with a nonlocal source term.     

One projection method for linear third order equation

In this paper we study the Galyorkin method with a special basis for a linear operator-differential equation of the third order in a separable Hilbert space. The projection method is based on the eigenvectors of the operator similar to the leading operator of equation. We obtain estimates for the convergence rate of approximate solutions in uniform topology.
