A nonlocal problem for a hyperbolic equation with integral conditions of the 1st kind with time-dependent kernels

We consider a nonlocal problem with integral conditions of the 1st kind. The main goal is to prove the unique solvability of this problem under the assumption that kernels of nonlocal conditions depend both on spatial and time variables. To this end we propose a technique based on the proved equivalence between the nonlocal problem with integral conditions of the 1st kind and a nonlocal problem with integral conditions of the 2nd kind in a special form. We formulate requirements to the initial data guaranteeing the unique existence of a generalized solution to the stated problem.     

Nonlocal problem with integral conditions for a system of hyperbolic equations in characteristic rectangle

We consider a nonlocal problem with integral conditions for a system of hyperbolic equations in rectangular domain. We investigate the questions of existence of unique classical solution to the problemunder consideration and approaches of its construction. Sufficient conditions of unique solvability to the investigated problem are established in the terms of initial data. The nonlocal problem with integral conditions is reduced to an equivalent problem consisting of the Goursat problem for the system of hyperbolic equations with functional parameters and functional relations. We propose algorithms for finding a solution to the equivalent problem with functional parameters on the characteristics and prove their convergence. We also obtain the conditions of unique solvability to the auxiliary boundary-value problem with an integral condition for the system of ordinary differential equations. As an example, we consider the nonlocal boundary-value problem with integral conditions for a two-dimensional system of hyperbolic equations.     

The Airy equation with nonlocal conditions

We study a third-order dispersive linear evolution equation on the finite interval subject to an initial condition and inhomogeneous boundary conditions but, in place of one of the three boundary conditions that would typically be imposed, we use a nonlocal condition, which specifies a weighted integral of the solution over the spatial interval. Via adaptations of the Fokas transform method (or unified transform method), we obtain a solution representation for this problem. We also study the time periodic analog of this problem, and thereby obtain long time asymptotics for the original problem with time periodic boundary and nonlocal data.     

On the General Stability of a Viscoelastic Wave Equation with an Integral Condition

We consider a nonlocal boundary value problem for a viscoelastic equation with a Bessel operator and a weighted integral condition and we prove a general decay result. We also give an example to show that our general result gives the optimal decay rate for ceratin polynomially decaying relaxation functions. This result improves some other results in the literature.     

Solvability of nonlinear boundary-value problems arising in modeling plasma diffusion across a magnetic field and its equilibrium configurations

We study the simplest one-dimensional model of plasma density balance in a tokamak type system, which can be reduced to an initial boundary-value problem for a second-order parabolic equation with implicit degeneration containing nonlocal (integral) operators. The problem of stabilizing nonstationary solutions to stationary ones is reduced to studying the solvability of a nonlinear integro-differential boundary-value problem. We obtain sufficient conditions for the parameters of this boundary-value problem to provide the existence and the uniqueness of a classical stationary solution, and for this solution we obtain the attraction domain by a constructive method.     

On a Nonlocal Problem with Integral Conditions for the System of Hyperbolic Equations

A nonlocal problem with integral conditions is considered for the system of partial differential equations of the hyperbolic type in a rectangular domain. Sufficient conditions are established for the existence of the unique classical solution of the studied problem in terms of initial data. An algorithm is proposed for finding a sequence of approximate solutions convergent to the exact solution of the problem. Special cases of the problem at hand are considered as an application of the results obtained.     

Boundary value problem for a global‐in‐time parabolic equation

The aim of this paper is to draw attention to an interesting semilinear parabolic equation that arose when describing the chaotic dynamics of a polymer molecule in a liquid. This equation is nonlocal in time and contains a term, called the interaction potential, that depends on the time‐integral of the solution over the entire interval of solving the problem. In fact, one needs to know the “future” in order to determine the coefficient in this term, that is, the causality principle is violated. The existence of a weak solution of the initial boundary value problem is proven. The interaction potential satisfies fairly general conditions and can have arbitrary growth at infinity. The uniqueness of this solution is established with restrictions on the length of the considered time interval.

Boundary-value problems for a hyperbolic equation with nonlocal conditions of the I and II kind

In this paper we consider two initial-boundary value problems with nonlocal conditions. The main goal is to propose a method for proving the solvability of nonlocal problems with integral conditions of the first kind. The proposed method is based on the equivalence of a nonlocal problem with an integral condition of the first kind and a nonlocal problem with an integral condition of the second kind in a special form. We prove the unique existence of generalized solutions to both problems.     

On a numerical solution of one nonlocal boundary-value problem with mixed Dirichlet–Neumann conditions

We consider a nonlocal boundary-value problem for the Poisson equation in a rectangular domain. Dirichlet and Neumann conditions are posed on a pair of adjacent sides of a rectangle, and integral constraints are given instead of boundary conditions on the other pair. The corresponding difference scheme is constructed and investigated; an a priori estimate of the solution is obtained with the help of energy inequality method. Discretization error estimate that is compatible with the smoothness of the solution sought is obtained.

We consider a nonlocal boundary-value problem for the Poisson equation in a rectangular domain. Dirichlet conditions are posed on a pair of adjacent sides of a rectangle, and integral constraints are given instead of standard boundary conditions on the other pair. The corresponding difference scheme is constructed and investigated; an a priori estimate of the solution is obtained with the help of energy inequality method. Discretization error estimate that is compatible with the smoothness of the solution sought is obtained.     

On the solution of an initial‐boundary value problem that combines Neumann and integral condition for the wave equation

Numerical solution of hyperbolic partial differential equation with an integral condition continues to be a major research area with widespread applications in modern physics and technology. Many physical phenomena are modeled by nonclassical hyperbolic boundary value problems with nonlocal boundary conditions. In place of the classical specification of boundary data, we impose a nonlocal boundary condition. Partial differential equations with nonlocal boundary specifications have received much attention in last 20 years. However, most of the articles were directed to the second‐order parabolic equation, particularly to heat conduction equation. We will deal here with new type of nonlocal boundary value problem that is the solution of hyperbolic partial differential equations with nonlocal boundary specifications. These nonlocal conditions arise mainly when the data on the boundary can not be measured directly. Several finite difference methods have been proposed for the numerical solution of this one‐dimensional nonclassic boundary value problem. These computational techniques are compared using the largest error terms in the resulting modified equivalent partial differential equation. Numerical results supporting theoretical expectations are given. Restrictions on using higher order computational techniques for the studied problem are discussed. Suitable references on various physical applications and the theoretical aspects of solutions are introduced at the end of this article. © 2004 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Boundary value problem for a parabolic-hyperbolic equation with a nonlocal integral condition

For a parabolic-hyperbolic equation with the heat and wave operators in a rectangular domain, we consider a problem with a nonlocal Samarksii-Ionkin condition. A criterion for the uniqueness of the solution is established by the spectral expansion method. The classical solution of the problem is constructed in the form of the sum of a biorthogonal series. The solution is proved to be stable with respect to the initial condition.     

A problem with a nonlocal,with respect to time,condition for multidimensional hyperbolic equations

We study a boundary-value problem for a hyperbolic equation with a nonlocal with respect to time-variable integral condition. We obtain sufficient conditions for unique solvability of the nonlocal problem. The proof is based on reduction of the nonlocal first-type condition to the second-type one. This allows to reduce the nonlocal problem to an operator equation. We show that unique solvability of the operator equation implies the existence of a unique solution to the problem.     

A nonlinear singular eigenvalue problem for a linear system of ordinary differential equations with redundant conditions

A nonlinear eigenvalue problem for a linear system of ordinary differential equations is examined on a semi-infinite interval. The problem is supplemented by nonlocal conditions specified by a Stieltjes integral. At infinity, the solution must be bounded. In addition to these basic conditions, the solution must satisfy certain redundant conditions, which are also nonlocal. A numerically stable method for solving such a singular overdetermined eigenvalue problem is proposed and analyzed. The essence of the method is that this overdetermined problem is replaced by an auxiliary problem consistent with all the above conditions.

Nonclassical problem with integral boundary conditions for elliptic system

In the present paper, a mixed nonclassical problem for multidimensional second-order elliptic system with Dirichlet and nonlocal integral boundary conditions is considered. Since Lax-Milgram theorem cannot be applied straightforwardly for such a nonlocal problem, we consider the problem in the spaces of vector-valued distributions with respect to one space variable with values in the spaces of functions with respect to the other space variables. We introduce special multipliers and applying them we obtain suitable new a priori estimates, and under minimal conditions on the coefficients of the elliptic operator we prove the existence and uniqueness of the solution in appropriate spaces of vector-valued distributions with values in Sobolev spaces.

The nonlinear nonlocal singularly perturbed initial boundary value problems for reaction diffusion equations with a boundary perturbation is considered. Under suitable conditions, the outer solution of the original problem is obtained. Using the stretched variable, the composing expansion method and the expanding theory of power series the initial layer is constructed. And then using the theory of differential inequalities the asymptotic behavior of solution for the initial boundary value problems is studied. Finally the existence and uniqueness of solution for the original problem and the uniformly valid asymptotic estimation are discussed.     

Bernstein Ritz‐Galerkin method for solving an initial‐boundary value problem that combines Neumann and integral condition for the wave equation

In this article, the Ritz‐Galerkin method in Bernstein polynomial basis is implemented to give an approximate solution of a hyperbolic partial differential equation with an integral condition. We will deal here with a type of nonlocal boundary value problem, that is, the solution of a hyperbolic partial differential equation with a nonlocal boundary specification. The nonlocal conditions arise mainly when the data on the boundary cannot be measured directly. The properties of Bernstein polynomial and Ritz‐Galerkin method are first presented, then Ritz‐Galerkin method is used to reduce the given hyperbolic partial differential equation to the solution of algebraic equations. Illustrative examples are included to demonstrate the validity and applicability of the technique presented in this article. © 2009 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. Numer Methods Partial Differential Eq 2010
