Analytic investigation of features of stresses in plane nonstationary contact problems with moving boundaries

We propose a technique for the analytic investigation of features of contact stresses in the vicinity of the nonstationary moving boundary of a contact region in plane nonstationary contact problems with moving boundaries, which is based on the reduction of a boundary two-dimensional singular integral equation resolving the problem to a system of two one-dimensional singular equations. As tools of research, a method for the reduction of singular integral equations to an equivalent Riemann type problem for piecewise analytic functions and a technique of fractional integro-differentiation are used. It is shown that, on the moving boundary of the contact region, a power singularity, the order of which depends on the velocity of the boundary, takes place.     

Numerical computation of an analytic singular value decomposition of a matrix valued function

Summary This paper extends the singular value decomposition to a path of matricesE(t). An analytic singular value decomposition of a path of matricesE(t) is an analytic path of factorizationsE(t)=X(t)S(t)Y(t) ^T whereX(t) andY(t) are orthogonal andS(t) is diagonal. To maintain differentiability the diagonal entries ofS(t) are allowed to be either positive or negative and to appear in any order. This paper investigates existence and uniqueness of analytic SVD's and develops an algorithm for computing them. We show that a real analytic pathE(t) always admits a real analytic SVD, a full-rank, smooth pathE(t) with distinct singular values admits a smooth SVD. We derive a differential equation for the left factor, develop Euler-like and extrapolated Euler-like numerical methods for approximating an analytic SVD and prove that the Euler-like method converges.Partial support received from SFB 343, Diskrete Strukturen in der Mathematik, Universität BielefeldPartial support received from FSP Mathematisierung, Universität BielefeldPartial support received from FSP Mathematisierung, Universität BielefeldPartial support received from National Science Foundation grant CCR-8820882.

Convergence criterion of Newton's method for singular systems with constant rank derivatives

The present paper is concerned with the convergence problem of Newton's method to solve singular systems of equations with constant rank derivatives. Under the hypothesis that the derivatives satisfy a type of weak Lipschitz condition, a convergence criterion based on the information around the initial point is established for Newton's method for singular systems of equations with constant rank derivatives. Applications to two special and important cases: the classical Lipschitz condition and the Smale's assumption, are provided; the latter, in particular, extends and improves the corresponding result due to Dedieu and Kim in [J.P. Dedieu, M. Kim, Newton's method for analytic systems of equations with constant rank derivatives, J. Complexity 18 (2002) 187-209].     

Oblique derivative problems for second order nonlinear equations of mixed type with degenerate hyperbolic curve

The present paper deals with oblique derivative problems for second order nonlinear equations of mixed type with degenerate hyperbolic curve, which include the Tricomi problem as a special case. Firstly the formulation of the problems for the equations is given, next the representation and estimates of solutions for the above problems are obtained, finally the existence of solutions for the problems is proved by the successive iteration of solutions of the equations and the fixed-point principle. In this paper, we use the complex analytic method, namely the new partial derivative notations, elliptic complex functions in the elliptic domain and hyperbolic complex functions in the hyperbolic domain are introduced, such that the second order equations of mixed type with degenerate curve are reduced to the first order mixed complex equations with singular coefficients, and then the advantage of complex analytic method can be applied.     

On the complexity of boundary integral equations with analytic coefficients with logarithmic singularities

We find the exact order of the ε-complexity of weakly singular integral equations with periodic and analytic coefficients of logarithmic singularities. This class of equations includes boundary equations for outer boundary-value problems for the two-dimensional Helmholtz equation.     

Yamabe flow on manifolds with edges

Let be a compact oriented Riemannian manifold with an incomplete edge singularity. This article shows that it is possible to evolve g by the Yamabe flow within a class of singular edge metrics. As the main analytic step we establish parabolic Schauder‐type estimates for the heat operator on certain Hölder spaces adapted to the singular edge geometry. We apply these estimates to obtain local existence for a variety of quasilinear equations, including the Yamabe flow. This provides a setup for a subsequent discussion of the Yamabe problem using flow techniques in the singular setting.     

Quantization Formula for Symplectic Manifolds with Boundary

We extend our earlier work in [TiZ1], where an analytic approach to the Guillemin-Sternberg geometric quantization conjecture [GuSt] was developed, to the case of manifolds with boundary. We also give a general quantization formula that works for both regular and singular reductions. As simple applications, we prove an analytic analogue of the relative residue formula of Guillemin-Kalkman [GuK] and Martin [M], as well as a Guillemin-Sternberg type formula for singular reductions under circle actions.

Generalized dirac operators on nonsmooth manifolds and Maxwell's equations

We develop a function theory associated with Dirac type operators on Lipschitz subdomains of Riemannian manifolds. The main emphasis is on Hardy spaces and boundary value problems, and our aim is to identify the geometric and analytic assumptions guaranteeing the validity of basic results from complex function theory in this general setting. For example, we study Plemelj-Calderón-Seeley-Bojarski type splittings of Cauchy boundary data into traces of ‘inner’ and ‘outer’ monogenics and show that this problem has finite index. We also consider Szegö projections and the corresponding L^p-decompositions. Our approach relies on an extension of the classical Calderón-Zygmund theory of singular integral operators which allow one to consider Cauchy type operators with variable kernels on Lipschitz graphs. In the second part, where we explore connections with Maxwell's equations, the main novelty is the treatment of the corresponding electro-magnetic boundary value problem by recasting it as a ‘half’ Dirichlet problem for a suitable Dirac operator.     

A probabilistic-informational algorithm for approximate solution of singular integral equations. The method of reduction to Riemann-Hilbert problems

We propose a numerical-analytic method of solving singular integral equations with a singular kernel of Cauchy type on an interval. The method relies on the construction of a regular operator of special form, whose action on the original singular equation leads to an integral equation that admits an explicit solution.

A basis function for approximation and the solutions of partial differential equations

In this article, we introduce a type of basis functions to approximate a set of scattered data. Each of the basis functions is in the form of a truncated series over some orthogonal system of eigenfunctions. In particular, the trigonometric eigenfunctions are used. We test our basis functions on recovering the well‐known Franke's and Peaks functions given by scattered data, and on the extension of a singular function from an irregular domain onto a square. These basis functions are further used in Kansa's method for solving Helmholtz‐type equations on arbitrary domains. Proper one level and two level approximation techniques are discussed. A comparison of numerical with analytic solutions is given. The numerical results show that our approach is accurate and efficient. © 2007 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

On solvability of singular integral-differential equations with convolution

In this paper, we study a class of singular integral-different equations of convolution type with Cauchy kernel. By means of the classical boundary value theory, of the theory of Fourier analysis, and of the principle of analytic continuation, we transform the equations into the Riemann-Hilbert problems with discontinuous coefficients and obtain the general solutions and conditions of solvability in class $\{0\}$. Thus, the result in this paper generalizes the classical theory of integral equations and boundary value problems.

ON DIRECT METHOD OF SOLUTION FOR A CLASS OF SINGULAR INTEGRAL EQUATIONS

In this article, by introducing characteristic singular integral operator and associate singular integral equations (SIEs), the authors discuss the direct method of solution for a class of singular integral equations with certain analytic inputs. They obtain both the conditions of solvability and the solutions in closed form. It is noteworthy that the method is different from the classical one that is due to Lu.     

Asymptotic behavior at the boundary of a semiconductor device in two space dimensions

We study the analytic properties of the solution to a system of elliptic-parabolic equations simulating a semiconductor device. We describe the optimal regularity of the solution and its asymptotic behavior at the singular points of the problem.This paper is based on the thesis dissertation presented at the University of Chicago, Chicago, Illinois, in December 1989.     

Riccati Equations for the Bolza Problem Arising in Boundary/Point Control Problems Governed by <Emphasis Type="Italic">C</Emphasis><Subscript>0</Subscript> Semigroups Satisfying a Singular Estimate

We establish solvability of Riccati equations and optimal feedback synthesis in the context of Bolza control problem for a special class of control systems referred to in the literature as control systems with singular estimate. Boundary/point control problems governed by analytic semigroups constitute a very special subcategory of this class which was motivated by and encompasses many PDE control systems with both boundary and point controls that involve interactions of different types of dynamics (parabolic and hyperbolic) on an interface. We also discuss two examples from thermoelasticity and structure acoustics. Research partially supported by NSF Grant DMS 0104305.     

Nonlocal diffusion,a Mittag-Leffler function and a two-dimensional Volterra integral equation

In this paper we consider a particular class of two-dimensional singular Volterra integral equations. Firstly we show that these integral equations can indeed arise in practice by considering a diffusion problem with an output flux which is nonlocal in time; this problem is shown to admit an analytic solution in the form of an integral. More crucially, the problem can be re-characterized as an integral equation of this particular class. This example then provides motivation for a more general study: an analytic solution is obtained for the case when the kernel and the forcing function are both unity. This analytic solution, in the form of a series solution, is a variant of the Mittag-Leffler function. As a consequence it is an entire function. A Gronwall lemma is obtained. This then permits a general existence and uniqueness theorem to be proved.     

Finite-Dimensional Approximations for Scattering Theory Operators in the Wave-Packet Representation

We consider some types of packet discretization for continuous spectra in quantum scattering problems. As we previously showed, this discretization leads to a convenient finite-dimensional (i.e., matrix) approximation for integral operators in the scattering theory and allows reducing the solution of singular integral equations connected with the scattering theory to some suitable purely algebraic equations on an analytic basis. All singularities are explicitly singled out. Our primary emphasis is on realizing the method practically.     

Solvability of the Tricomi problem for second order equations of mixed type with degenerate curve on the sides of an angle

In [1]–[6], the author posed and discussed the Tricomi problem of second order mixed equations, but he only consider some special mixed equations. In [3], the author discussed the uniqueness of solutions of the Tricomi problem for some second order mixed equation with nonsmooth degenerate line. The present paper deals with the Tricomi problem for general second order mixed equations with degenerate curve on the sides of an angle. I first give the formulation of the above problem, and then prove the solvability of the Tricomi problem for the mixed equations with degenerate curve on the sides of an angle, by using the existence of solutions of the mixed problem for the degenerate elliptic equations (see [11]). Here I mention that the used method in this paper is different to those in other papers or books, because I introduce the new notation (2.1) below, such that the second order equation of mixed type can be reduced to the first order complex equation of mixed type with singular coefficients, hence I can use the advantage of complex analytic method.

Divergent Type Quasilinear Dirichlet Problem with Singularities

A quasilinear equation of divergent type with singular data and singular coefficients is approximated by a net of equations of the same type with enough regular coefficients and data. Solutions of the net of equations are obtained by the classical methods. Known a priory estimates are improved so that a net of solutions can be considered as a solution in an appropriate algebra of generalized functions.
