In this paper we consider a boundary-value problems for degenerating pseudoparabolic equation with variable coefficients and with Gerasimov–Caputo fractional derivative. To solve the problem we obtain a priori estimates in differential and difference settings. These a priori estimates imply uniqueness and stability of the solution with respect to the initial data and the right-hand side on the layer, as well as the convergence of the solution of each of the difference problem to the solution of the corresponding differential problem.

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.     

A parallel approach to improvement and estimation of the approximate optimal control

In this paper the method for computing a priori estimates of the approximate optimal control is considered. These estimates provide us with information about the quality of the approximate optimal solution obtained by applying the improvement control procedure. The method is implemented in the form of a parallel algorithm. This algorithm is an essential part of the developed software package intended for optimization of controllable dynamical systems. We also consider the scalability of the parallel algorithm in the OpenTS parallel programming system for chemical and biochemical engineering problems.     

Differential and Difference Boundary Value Problem for Loaded Third-Order Pseudo-Parabolic Differential Equations and Difference Methods for Their Numerical Solution

Boundary value problems for loaded third-order pseudo-parabolic equations with variable coefficients are considered. A priori estimates for the solutions of the problems in the differential and difference formulations are obtained. These a priori estimates imply the uniqueness and stability of the solution with respect to the initial data and the right-hand side on a layer, as well as the convergence of the solution of each difference problem to the solution of the corresponding differential problem.     

An efficient numerical method for singular perturbation problems

In this paper, we propose a method for the numerical solution of singularly perturbed two-point boundary-value problems (BVPs). First, we develop two schemes to integrate initial–value problem (IVP) for system of two first-order differential equations, and then by using these schemes we solve the BVP. Precisely, we convert the second-order BVP into a system of first-order differential equations, and then apply the numerical schemes to obtain the solution. In order to get an initial condition for the system, we use the asymptotic approximate solution. Error estimates are derived and numerical examples are provided to illustrate the present method.     

Boundary Value Problems for Degenerating and Nondegenerating Sobolev-Type Equations with a Nonlocal Source in Differential and Difference Forms

Boundary value problems are considered for degenerating and nondegenerating differential equations of the Sobolev type with a nonlocal source as well as finite-difference methods for solving these problems. A priori estimates are derived for solving the problems posed in differential and difference interpretations. These a priori estimates entail the uniqueness and stability of the solution with respect to the initial data and the right-hand side on a layer as well as the convergence of the solution of each difference problem to that of the counterpart differential problem.     

A truncated projected SVD method for linear discrete ill-posed problems

Truncated singular value decomposition is a popular solution method for linear discrete ill-posed problems. However, since the singular value decomposition of the matrix is independent of the right-hand side, there are linear discrete ill-posed problems for which this method fails to yield an accurate approximate solution. This paper describes a new approach to incorporating knowledge about properties of the desired solution into the solution process through an initial projection of the linear discrete ill-posed problem. The projected problem is solved by truncated singular value decomposition. Computed examples illustrate that suitably chosen projections can enhance the accuracy of the computed solution.     

Reconstruction of controls and parameters by the Tikhonov method with non-smooth stabilizers

We consider the problem of the reconstruction of an a priori unknown control in a dynamic system based on approximate a posteriori observations of the motion of this system. We propose to solve this problem by the Tikhonov method with a stabilizer which contains the total variation of the control. This provides the piecewise uniform convergence of regularized approximations and thus enables one to numerically reconstruct the fine structure of the desired solution.     

Initial-Value Technique for Singularly Perturbed Boundary-Value Problems for Second-Order Ordinary Differential Equations Arising in Chemical Reactor Theory

An initial-value technique is presented for solving singularly perturbed two-point boundary-value problems for linear and semilinear second-order ordinary differential equations arising in chemical reactor theory. In this technique, the required approximate solution is obtained by combining solutions of two terminal-value problems and one initial-value problem which are obtained from the original boundary-value problem through asymptotic expansion procedures. Error estimates for approximate solutions are obtained. Numerical examples are presented to illustrate the present technique.     

Local Solutions of Weakly Parabolic Quasilinear Differential Equations

We consider a quasilinear parabolic boundary value problem, the elliptic part of which degenerates near the boundary. In order to solve this problem, we approximate it by a system of linear degenerate elliptic boundary value problems by means of semidiscretization with respect to time. We use the theory of degenerate elliptic operators and weighted Sobolev spaces to find a priori estimates for the solutions of the approximating problems. These solutions converge to a local solution, if the step size of the time-discretization goes to zero. It is worth pointing out that we do not require any growth conditions on the nonlinear coefficients and right-hand side, since we lire able to prove L∞ - estimates.     

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.     

A boundary-value problem for systems of nonlinear partial differential equations

We assume that the right-hand side of the system is a continuous function with bounded first partial derivatives in the given domain.Translated from Vychislitel'naya i Prikladnaya Matematika, No. 59, pp. 24–31, 1986.     

Approximate method for the solution of the generalized Dirichlet problem

We extend the method for approximate solution of classical boundary-value problems for the Laplace equation suggested in [1–3] to the case of the Poisson equation with generalized functions on the right-hand side of the equation and in the boundary conditions.Translated from Ukrainskii Matematicheskii Zhurnal, Vol.46, No. 10, pp. 1417–1420, October, 1994.     

Boundary scalar controllability in projections for the Navier-Stokes system

We consider the following controllability problem for the Navier-Stokes equations: ensure, by dynamically varying the boundary values of the total fluid head, that the solution at a given time has a given projection onto some finite-dimensional subspace. We suggest a feedback control construction and obtain a priori estimates for the solution of the closed-loop system, which are then used to prove the boundary scalar controllability.     

Obtaining starting values for the shooting method solution of a class of two-point boundary-value problems

A method based on matching a zero of the right-hand side of the differential equations, in a two-point boundary-value problem, to the boundary conditions is suggested. Effectiveness of the procedure is tested on three nonlinear, two-point boundary-value problems.     

Solution of the stationary problem of heat conduction of laminated anisotropic inhomogeneous plates by the method of initial functions

The problem of stationary heat conduction of laminated plates of constant and variable thickness is formulated in the three-dimensional statement. We reduce the three-dimensional problem to a twodimensional one by the method of initial functions. For plates with layers of variable thickness, a system of resolving equations with variable coefficients is obtained. The obtained two-dimensional boundary-value problems are analyzed. For plates with homogeneous layers of constant thickness, we construct a solution in an analytic form. It is shown that this solution coincides with a solution obtained by the method of separation of variables.     

Non-singular locally optimal ellipsoidal approximation of the estimate of the states of linear systems

A problem which arises when estimating the attainability domains of linear dynamical systems by ellipsoids is investigated in a short time interval in the case when the initial position of the system in phase space is known precisely for some at least coordinates. A method is proposed which allows one to avoid problems associated with the degeneracy of the right-hand sides of the differential equations of the locally optimal ellipsoidal approximation. The mathematical meaning of these equations is made more precise in the case of the minimization of the phase volume. An example is given.     

Reconstruction of boundary controls in parabolic systems

In the paper, an inverse dynamic problem is considered. It consists in reconstructing a priori unknown boundary controls in dynamical systems described by boundary value problems for partial differential equations of parabolic type. The source information for solving the inverse problem is the results of approximate measurements of the states of the observed system’s motion. The problem is solved in the static case; i.e., to solve it, we use all the measurement data accumulated during some specified observation interval. The problem under consideration is ill-posed. To solve it, we propose the Tikhonov method with a stabilizer containing the sum of the mean-square norm and total time variation of the control. The use of such nondifferentiable stabilizer allows us to obtain more precise results than the approximation of the desired control in the Lebesgue spaces. In particular, this method provides the pointwise and piecewise uniform convergences of regularized approximations and makes possible the numerical reconstruction of the subtle structure of the desired control. In the paper, the subgradient projection method for obtaining a minimizing sequence for the Tikhonov functional is described and substantiated. Also, we demonstrate the two-stage finitedimensional approximation of the problem and present the results of numerical simulation.     

An approximate solution for linear boundary-value problems with slowly varying coefficients

In this paper, an approximate closed-form solution for linear boundary-value problems with slowly varying coefficient matrices is obtained. The derivation of the approximate solution is based on the freezing technique, which is commonly used in analyzing the stability of slowly varying initial-value problems as well as solving them. The error between the approximate and the exact solutions is given, and an upper bound on the norm of the error is obtained. This upper bound is proportional to the rate of change of the coefficient matrix of the boundary-value problem. The proposed approximate solution is obtained for a two-point boundary-value problem and is compared to its solution obtained numerically. Good agreement is observed between the approximate and the numerical solutions, when the rate of change of the coefficient matrix is small.
