Almost periodic solutions of linear partial differential equations

Let L be an arbitrary linear partial differential operator and let f be an almost periodic function for t in R^m. In this paper we present sufficient conditions that a bounded solution u of Lu = f be almost periodic. Our work generalizes the theorem of Sibuya [5] for Poisson's equation and the theorems of Favard [3] and Bochner [1] for ordinary differential equations.     

Mean value properties of solutions of linear partial differential equations

The present paper suggests a uniform viewpoint to mean value theorems for linear elliptic and hyperbolic partial differential equations that, in a certain cases, allows one to obtain new mean value formulas. Also, the authors consider a method for obtaining mean value formulas for elliptic equations from those for hyperbolic equations.

Removable singularities of weak solutions to linear partial differential equations

Suppose that P(x, D) is a linear differential operator of order m > 0 with smooth coefficients whose derivatives up to order m are continuous functions in the domain G ⁿ (n 1), 1 < p > , s > 0, and q=p/(p – 1). In this paper, we show that if n, m, p, and s satisfy the two-sided bound 0 n – q(m – s)< n, then for a weak solution of the equation P(x, D)u=0 from the Sharpley-DeVore class C _p ^s (G)_loc, any closed set in G is removable if its Hausdorff measure of order n – q(m – s) is finite. This result strengthens the well-known result of Harvey and Polking on removable singularities of weak solutions to the equation P(x, D)_u=0 from the Sobolev classes and extends it to the case of noninteger orders of smoothness.Translated from Matematicheskie Zametki, vol. 77, no. 4, 2005, pp. 584–591.Original Russian Text Copyright © 2005 by A.

A note on non-separable solutions of linear partial differential equations

A method has been presented for constructing non-separable solutions of homogeneous linear partial differential equations of the type F(D, D′)W = 0, where $\text{D =}\text{?}\text{?x}\text{, D′ =}\text{?}\text{?y}$,

$\text{F(D,D′)=}\text{∑}\text{n}\text{r+s=0}\text{C}{}_{\mathrm{rs}}\text{D}{}^{\mathrm{r}}\text{D′}{}^{\mathrm{s}}\text{,}$

where c_rs are constants and n stands for the order of the equation. The method has also been extended for equations of the form Φ(D, D′, D″)W = 0, where $\text{D =}\text{?}\text{?x}\text{, D′ =}\text{?}\text{?y}\text{, D″ =}\text{?}\text{?z}$ and

$\text{Φ(D,D′,D″)W=}\text{∑}\text{n}\text{r+s+t=0}\text{C}{}_{\mathrm{rst}}\text{D}{}^{\mathrm{r}}\text{D′}{}^{\mathrm{s}}\text{D}{}^{\mathrm{t}}\text{D″}{}^{\mathrm{s}}\text{.}$

As illustration, the method has been applied to obtain nonseparable solutions of the two and three dimensional Helmholtz equations.     

A method for constructing solutions to linear systems of partial differential equations

We obtain some conditions of solvability in Sobolev spaces for the systems of linear partial differential equations and deduce the corresponding formulas for solutions to these systems. The solutions are given as the sum of the series whose terms are the iterations of some pseudodifferential operators constructed explicitly.     

Bivariate second-order linear partial differential equations and orthogonal polynomial solutions

In this paper we construct the main algebraic and differential properties and the weight functions of orthogonal polynomial solutions of bivariate second-order linear partial differential equations, which are admissible potentially self-adjoint and of hypergeometric type. General formulae for all these properties are obtained explicitly in terms of the polynomial coefficients of the partial differential equation, using vector matrix notation. Moreover, Rodrigues representations for the polynomial eigensolutions and for their partial derivatives of any order are given. As illustration, these results are applied to a two parameter monic Appell polynomials. Finally, the non-monic case is briefly discussed.     

Approximation of viscosity solutions of elliptic partial differential equations on minimal grids

Summary. We obtain estimates on the minimal size of an equally spaced grid which can be used to construct monotone and consistent approximations to elliptic problems. The estimates are given in terms of the ellipticity of the equation. This problem is related to diophantine approximations, see the Appendix written by W. M. Schmidt. Received January 10, 1995     

Backward stochastic partial differential equations with quadratic growth

This paper is concerned with the weak solution (in analytic sense) to the Cauchy–Dirichlet problem of a backward stochastic partial differential equation when the nonhomogeneous term has a quadratic growth in both the gradient of the first unknown and the second unknown. Existence and uniqueness results are obtained under separate conditions.     

Multisummability of formal solutions to the Cauchy problem for some linear partial differential equations

The paper considers the Cauchy problem for linear partial differential equations of non-Kowalevskian type in the complex domain. It is shown that if the Cauchy data are entire functions of a suitable order, the problem has a formal solution which is multisummable. The precise bound of the admissible order of entire functions is described in terms of the Newton polygon of the equation.     

Random-field solutions to linear hyperbolic stochastic partial differential equations with variable coefficients

In this article we show the existence of a random-field solution to linear stochastic partial differential equations whose partial differential operator is hyperbolic and has variable coefficients that may depend on the temporal and spatial argument. The main tools for this, pseudo-differential and Fourier integral operators, come from microlocal analysis. The equations that we treat are second-order and higher-order strictly hyperbolic, and second-order weakly hyperbolic with uniformly bounded coefficients in space. For the latter one we show that a stronger assumption on the correlation measure of the random noise might be needed. Moreover, we show that the well-known case of the stochastic wave equation can be embedded into the theory presented in this article.     

Numerical solutions to initial and boundary value problems for linear fractional partial differential equations

In this article, Haar wavelets have been employed to obtain solutions of boundary value problems for linear fractional partial differential equations. The differential equations are reduced to Sylvester matrix equations. The algorithm is novel in the sense that it effectively incorporates the aperiodic boundary conditions. Several examples with numerical simulations are provided to illustrate the simplicity and effectiveness of the method.     

Approximation of solutions to impulsive functional differential equations

In this paper we shall study a semilinear impulsive functional differential equation in a separable Hilbert space. We shall use the analytic semigroups theory of linear operators and fixed point technique to establish the existence, uniqueness, and the convergence of approximate solutions to the given problem. We will also prove the existence and convergence of finite-dimensional approximate solutions to the given problem. An example is also illustrated.     

Differential operators for systems of linear partial differential equations

The aim of this paper is the representation of solutions of systems of formally hyperbolic differential equations of second order. I. N.Vekua gave a representation of the solutions using the Riemann-matrix-function. Here we introduce special differential operators which map holomorphic functions into the set of solutions. An existence theorem for such operators is proved which gives a necessary and sufficient condition on the coefficients of a system. These operators are represented explicitly and several properties of them are investigated. We give different representations of the solutions of such systems and discuss the relation between the integral operator method and the method using differential operators which leads to an explicit representation of the Riemann-matrix-function by means of the differential operators. Two examples of special systems with differential operators are given.
