Asymptotics of the solution to an initial boundary value problem for a singularly perturbed parabolic equation in the case of a triple root of the degenerate equation

For a singularly perturbed parabolic equation, asymptotics of the solution to an initial boundary value problem in the case of a triple root of the degenerate equation is constructed and justified. Essential distinctions from the case of a simple root are the scale of the boundary layer variables and the three-zone structure of the boundary layer.     

Asymptotics of the solution of a system of singularly perturbed equations in the case of a multiple root of the degenerate equation

We construct and justify the asymptotics of the solution of a boundary value problem for a singularly perturbed system of two second-order ordinary differential equations that contain distinct powers of a small parameter multiplying second-order derivatives for the case of a multiple root of the degenerate equation. The root multiplicity results in changes in the structure of the asymptotics of the boundary layer solution as compared with the case of a simple root, in particular, in changes in the scale of the boundary layer variables.     

On the stability and the attraction domain of the stationary solution of a singularly perturbed parabolic equation with a multiple root of the degenerate equation

We construct and justify the asymptotics of a boundary layer solution of a boundary value problem for a singularly perturbed second-order ordinary differential equation for the case in which the degenerate (finite) equation has an identically double root. A specific feature of the asymptotics is the presence of a three-zone boundary layer. The solution of the boundary value problem is a stationary solution of the corresponding parabolic equation. We prove the asymptotic stability of this solution and find its attraction domain.     

Asymptotics of the solution of an initial-boundary value problem for a singularly perturbed parabolic equation in the case of double root of the degenerate equation

For a singularly perturbed parabolic equation, we construct and justify the asymptotics of the classical solution of an initial-boundary value problem in the case of a double root of the degenerate equation. This case substantially differs from the case of a simple root in that the scales of the boundary layer variables are different.     

Asymptotics of the Solution to a Stationary Piecewise-Smooth Reaction-Diffusion-Advection Equation*

A singularly perturbed boundary value problem for a piecewise-smooth nonlinear stationary equation of reaction-diffusion-advection type is studied. A new class of problems in the case when the discontinuous curve which separates the domain is monotone with respect to the time variable is considered. The existence of a smooth solution with an internal layer appearing in the neighborhood of some point on the discontinuous curve is studied. An efficient algorithm for constructing the point itself a...     

Localization of the discontinuity line of the right-hand side of a differential equation

We propose a new approach to studying the inverse problems for differential equations with constant coefficients. Its application is illustrated by an example of some partial differential equation with three independent variables. The right-hand side of the equation is assumed to be a function discontinuous in spatial variables. In the inverse problem, it is required to find some hull containing the discontinuity line of the right-hand side. An algorithm for constructing such a hull is obtained: It is a square whose sides are tangent to the discontinuity line.     

On the solvability of a linear homogeneous functional-differential equation of point type

We consider the Cauchy problem for a linear homogeneous functional-differential equation of point type on the real line. For the case of a one-dimensional equation, we obtain sufficient conditions for the existence and uniqueness of a solution with a prescribed order of growth. The spectral properties of the operator generated by the right-hand side of such an equation are studied in detail. The study relies upon a formalism based on the group properties of such equations.     

Asymptotics of a Class of Singularly Perturbed Weak Nonlinear Boundary Value Problem with a Multiple Root of the Degenerate Equation

A singularly perturbed boundary value problem with weak nonlinearity in the case when the degenerate equation has a multiple root is studied. The asymptotic approximation of the solution is constructed by the modified boundary layer function method. Based on the comparison principle, there exist multizonal boundary layers in the neighborhood of the endpoints. The existence of a solution is proved by using the method of asymptotic differential inequalities.     

On the optimal reconstruction of a solution of the Poisson equation

We consider the problem of optimal reconstruction of a solution of the generalized Poisson equation in a bounded domain Q with homogeneous boundary conditions for the case in which the right-hand side of the equation is fuzzy. We assume that right-hand sides of the equations belong to generalized Sobolev classes and finitely many Fourier coefficients of the right-hand sides of the equations are known with some accuracy in the Euclidean metric. We find the optimal reconstruction error and construct a family of optimal reconstruction methods. The problem on the best choice of the coefficients to be measured is solved.     

On the solution of the inhomogeneous polyharmonic equation and the inhomogeneous helmholtz equation

We present formulas that simplify finding the solutions of the Poisson equation, the inhomogeneous polyharmonic equation, and the inhomogeneous Helmholtz equation in the case of a polynomial right-hand side. They are based on the representation of an analytic function by harmonic functions. The resulting formulas remain valid for some analytic right-hand sides for which the corresponding operator series converge.     

Justification of the direct projection method for solving an integral equation of the potential theory

We justify the direct projection method for solving an integral equation with a logarithmic singularity in the kernel. The equation is treated as a mapping of one Hilbert space into another Hilbert space. The spaces are chosen from conditions ensuring the solution of a broad class of mathematical modeling problems with the use of a simple layer potential. The idea of the projection method is to choose finite-dimensional subspaces into which the exact solution and the right-hand side of the equation are projected. In this case, the problem of finding an approximate solution does not require computing the convolution of kernels. We prove an estimate for the solution error in the norm of the original operator equation.     

On a singularly perturbed initial value problem in the case of a double root of the degenerate equation

We study the initial value problem of a singularly perturbed first order ordinary differential equation in case that the degenerate equation has a double root. We construct the formal asymptotic expansion of the solution such that the boundary layer functions decay exponentially. This requires a modification of the standard procedure. The asymptotic solution will be used to construct lower and upper solutions guaranteeing the existence of a unique solution and justifying its asymptotic expansion.     

A singularly perturbed elliptic problem in the case of a multiple root of the degenerate equation

The solution of a singularly perturbed elliptic boundary value problem is constructed, and an asymptotic expansion of the boundary-layer solution in the case of a double root of the degenerate equation is justified. The multiplicity of the root leads to a qualitative change in the asymptotic representation of the solution as compared with the case of a simple root.     

The inverse problem of determining the source in the stationary transport equation on a riemannian manifold

The transport equation with an unknown right-hand side is considered on a compact Riemannian manifold. The right-hand side of this equation is recovered from values of the outcoming flow. Assumptions under which the solution of the inverse problem is unique are formulated.Translated fromZapiski Nauchnykh Seminarov POMI, Vol. 239, 1997, pp. 236–242.     

On the dependence of the structure of boundary layers on the boundary conditions in a singularly perturbed boundary-value problem with multiple root of the related degenerate equation

We consider the two-point boundary-value problem for a singularly perturbed secondorder differential equation for the case in which the related degenerate equation has a double root. It is shown that the structure of boundary layers essentially depends on the degree of proximity of the given boundary values of the solution to the root of the degenerate equation; this phenomenon is determined by the multiplicity of the root.     

A nonlocal inverse problem for a mixed-type equation

We establish a criterion for the unique solvability of the inverse problem for the Lavrent’ev-Bitsadze equation with unknown right-hand side. We construct a solution as the sum of a series over a system of bi-orthogonal root functions of the corresponding adjoint problems on eigenvalues.     

Finding the unknown boundary in the initial boundary-value problem for the heat equation

The article considers the determination of the boundary of a two-dimensional region in which an initial boundary-value problem for the heat equation is defined, given the solution of the problem for all time instants at some points of the region. The direct problem is reduced to an integral equation, and numerical solutions of the inverse problem are obtained for the case when the boundary is an ellipse. We investigate the sensitivity of the observed variables to the location (relative to the boundary) of the point where the right-hand side of the equation is specified.

On the asymptotic stability of discontinuous systems analysed via the averaging method

The averaging method is one of the most powerful methods used to analyse differential equations appearing in the study of nonlinear problems. The idea behind the averaging method is to replace the original equation by an averaged equation with simple structure and close solutions. A large number of practical problems lead to differential equations with discontinuous right-hand sides. In a rigorous theory of such systems, developed by Filippov, solutions of a differential equation with discontinuous right-hand side are regarded as being solutions to a special differential inclusion with upper semi-continuous right-hand side. The averaging method was studied for such inclusions by many authors using different and rather restrictive conditions on the regularity of the averaged inclusion. In this paper we prove natural extensions of Bogolyubov’s first theorem and the Samoilenko-Stanzhitskii theorem to differential inclusions with an upper semi-continuous right-hand side. We prove that the solution set of the original differential inclusion is contained in a neighbourhood of the solution set of the averaged one. The extension of Bogolyubov’s theorem concerns finite time intervals, while the extension of the Samoilenko-Stanzhitskii theorem deals with solutions defined on the infinite interval. The averaged inclusion is defined as a special upper limit and no additional condition on its regularity is required.
