A smoothed Hermite radial point interpolation method for thin plate analysis

A smoothed Hermite radial point interpolation method using gradient smoothing operation is formulated for thin plate analysis. The radial basis functions augmented with polynomial basis are used to construct the shape functions that have the important Delta function property. The smoothed Galerkin weakform is adopted to discretize the governing partial differential equations, and a curvature smoothed operation is developed to relax the continuity requirement and achieve accurate bending solutions. The approximation based on both deflection and rotation variables make the proposed method very effective in enforcing the essential boundary conditions. The effects of different numbers of sub-smoothing-domains created based on the triangular background cell are investigated in detail. A number of numerical examples have been studied and the results show that the present method is very stable and accurate even for extremely irregular background cells.

应用小波自相关函数的插值性质,得到任意给定函数的插值小波表达式,然后对其直接求导,可以得到函数导数的表达式。导数运算不再应用差分算法,扩展了小波方法在数值求解微分方程中的应用。由于小波基函数的有限支撑特点,小波方法可以有效地处理微分方程中解的局部突变问题。通过设定小波系数阀值,实现了求解过程的自适应。本文给出了两个算例,结果表明了算法的自适应特点及其向二维空间问题推广的有效性。     

Averaging method for the solution of non-linear differential equations with periodic non-harmonic solutions

While Krylov and Bogolyubov used harmonic functions in their averaging method for the approximate solution of weakly non-linear differential equations with oscillatory solution, we apply a similar averaging technique using Jacobi elliptic functions. These functions are also periodic and are exact solutions of strongly non-linear differential equations. The method is used to solve non-linear differential equations with linear and non-linear small dissipative terms and/or with time dependent parameters. It is also shown that quite general dissipative terms can be transformed into time-dependent parameters. As a special example, the Langevin (collisional) equation of motion of electrons in a neutralizing ion background under the influence of a time and space-dependent electric field is presented. The method may also be used for non-linear control theory, dynamic and parametric stabilization of non-linear oscillations in plasma physics, etc.

Generalized solitonary and periodic solutions for nonlinear partial differential equations by the Exp-function method

In this paper, the Exp-function method with the aid of the symbolic computational system Maple is used to obtain the generalized solitonary solutions and periodic solutions for nonlinear evolution equations arising in mathematical physics, namely, (2+1)-dimensional Konopelchenko–Dubrovsky equations, the (3+1)-dimensional Jimbo–Miwa equation, the Kadomtsev–Petviashvili (KP) equation, and the (2+1)-dimensional sine-Gordon equation. It is shown that the Exp-function method, with the help of symbolic computation, provides a powerful mathematical tool for solving other nonlinear evolution equations arising in mathematical physics.

A high-order characteristics/finite element method for the incompressible Navier-Stokes equations

In this paper we consider a discretization of the incompressible Navier-Stokes equations involving a second-order time scheme based on the characteristics method and a spatial discretization of finite element type. Theoretical and numerical analyses are detailed and we obtain stability results abnd optimal eror estimates on the velocity and pressure under a time step restriction less stringent than the standard Courant-Freidrichs-Levy condition. Finally, some numerical results obtained wiht the code N3S are shown which justify the interest of this scheme and its advantages with respect to an analogous first-order time scheme. © 1997 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

A high-order discontinuous Galerkin method for the incompressible Navier-Stokes equations on arbitrary grids

A high-order discontinuous Galerkin (DG) method is proposed in this work for solving the two-dimensional steady and unsteady incompressible Navier-Stokes (INS) equations written in conservative form on arbitrary grids. In order to construct the interface inviscid fluxes both in the continuity and in the momentum equations, an artificial compressibility term has been added to the continuity equation for relaxing the incompressibility constraint. Then, as the hyperbolic nature of the INS equations has been recovered, the local Lax-Friedrichs (LLF) flux, which was previously developed in the context of hyperbolic conservation laws, is applied to discretize the inviscid term. Unlike the traditional artificial compressibility method, in this work, the artificial compressibility is introduced only for the construction of the inviscid numerical fluxes; therefore, a consistent discretization of the INS equations is obtained, irrespective of the amount of artificial compressibility used. What is more, as the LLF flux can be obtained directly and straightforward, no numerical iteration for solving an exact Riemann problem is entailed in our method. The viscous term is discretized by the direct DG method, which was developed based on the weak formulation of the scalar diffusion problems on structured grids. The performance and the accuracy of the method are demonstrated by computing a number of benchmark test cases, including both steady and unsteady incompressible flow problems. Due to its simplicity in implementation, our method provides an attractive alternative for solving the INS equations on arbitrary grids.

A modified Gaussian moment closure method for nonlinear stochastic differential equations

Parametric excitation of a nonlinear physical pendulum by modulation of its moment of inertia is analyzed in terms of physics as an example of the suggested approach. The modulation is provided by a redistribution of auxiliary masses. The system is investigated both analytically and with the help of computer simulations. The threshold and other characteristics of parametric resonance are found and discussed in detail. The role of nonlinear properties of the physical system in restricting the resonant swinging is emphasized. Phase locking between the drive and oscillations of the pendulum and the phenomenon of parametric autoresonance are investigated. The boundaries of parametric instability are determined as functions of the modulation depth and the quality factor. The feedback providing active optimal control of amplification and attenuation of oscillations is analyzed. An effective method of suppressing undesirable rotary oscillations of suspended constructions is suggested.     

Computable error bounds for approximate periodic solutions of autonomous delay differential equations

In this paper, we prove a result that says: Given an approximate solution and frequency to a periodic solution of an autonomous delay differential equation that satisfies a certain noncriticality condition, there is an exact periodic solution and frequency in a neighborhood of the approximate solution and frequency and, furthermore, numerical estimates of the size of the neighborhood are computed. Methods are outlined for estimating the parameters required to compute the errors. An application to a Van der Pol oscillator with delay in the nonlinear terms is given.

Periodic solutions of nonlinear delay differential equations using spectral element method

We extend the temporal spectral element method further to study the periodic orbits of general autonomous nonlinear delay differential equations (DDEs) with one constant delay. Although we describe the approach for one delay to keep the presentation clear, the extension to multiple delays is straightforward. We also show the underlying similarities between this method and the method of collocation. The spectral element method that we present here can be used to find both the periodic orbit and its stability. This is demonstrated with a variety of different examples, namely, the delayed versions of Mackey–Glass equation, Van der Pol equation, and Duffing equation. For each example, we show the method’s convergence behavior using both p and h refinement and we provide comparisons between equal size meshes that have different distributions.

In this article, the homotopy analysis method has been applied to solve a coupled nonlinear diffusion–reaction equations. The validity of this method has been successful by applying it for these nonlinear equations. The results obtained by this method have a good agreement with one obtained by other methods. This work illustrates the validity of the homotopy analysis method for the nonlinear differential equations. The basic ideas of this approach can be widely employed to solve other strongly nonlinear problems.
