Projection Method for Cauchy Problem for an Operator-Differential Equation

In the current paper, we study a projection method for a Cauchy problem for an operator-differential equation with a leading self-adjoint operator A(t) and a subordinate linear operator K(t) in a Hilbert space. The projection subspaces are linear spans of eigenvectors of an operator similar to A(t). It is assumed that the operators A(t) and K(t) are sufficiently smooth. Error estimates for the approximate solutions and their derivatives are obtained. The application of the developed method for solving the initial boundary value problems is given.     

Asymptotic error estimates of a linearized projection-difference method for a differential equation with a monotone operator

We study a projection-difference method of solving the Cauchy problem for an operatordifferential equation with a selfadjoint leading operator A(t) and a nonlinear monotone subordinate operator K(·) in a Hilbert space. This method leads to a solution of a system of linear algebraic equations at each time level. Error estimates are derived for approximate solutions as well as for fractional powers of the operator A(t). The method is applied to a model parabolic problem.     

Galerkin method for a nonstationary equation with a monotone operator

In the present paper, we consider the Galerkin method for a quasilinear differentialoperator equation with a leading self-adjoint operator A(t) and a subordinate monotone operator K. For the projection subspaces we take linear spans of eigenelements of an operator similar to the leading operator A(t). We obtain new estimates for the Galerkin method and consider applications to an initial-boundary value problem for a parabolic equation of higher order.     

Error estimates for a projection-difference method for a linear differential-operator equation

We study a projection-difference method for approximately solving the Cauchy problem u′(t) + A(t)u(t) + K(t)u(t) = h(t), u(0) = 0 for a linear differential-operator equation in a Hilbert space, where A(t) is a self-adjoint operator and K(t) is an operator subordinate to A(t). Time discretization is based on a three-level difference scheme, and space discretization is carried out by the Galerkin method. Under certain smoothness conditions on the function h(t), we obtain estimates for the convergence rate of the approximate solutions to the exact solution.     

Convergence Rate of Galerkin Method for a Certain Class of Nonlinear Operator-Differential Equations

In this article, we study a Galerkin method for a nonstationary operator equation with a leading self-adjoint operator A(t) and a subordinate nonlinear operator F. The existence of the strong solutions of the Cauchy problem for differential and approximate equations are proved. New error estimates for the approximate solutions and their derivatives are obtained. The developed method is applied to an initial boundary value problem for a partial differential equation of parabolic type.     

Convergence estimates of a projection-difference method for an operator-differential equation

This article investigates the projection-difference method for a Cauchy problem for a linear operator-differential equation with a leading self-adjoint operator A(t) and a subordinate linear operator K(t) in Hilbert space. This method leads to the solution of a system of linear algebraic equations on each time level; moreover, the projection subspaces are linear spans of eigenvectors of an operator similar to A(t). The convergence estimates are obtained. The application of the developed method for solving the initial boundary value problem is given.     

Galerkin method for a third-order differential-operator equation

We study the Galerkin method for a third-order differential-operator equation with self-adjoint leading operator A and subordinate linear operator K(t) in a separable Hilbert space. We prove a theorem on the existence and uniqueness of a strong solution of the original problem. We derive estimates for the accuracy of the approximate solutions constructed by the Galerkin method. An application of the suggested method to the solution of a model problem is described.     

Periodic solutions for doubly nonlinear evolution equations

We discuss the existence of periodic solution for the doubly nonlinear evolution equation A(u^′(t))+∂?(u(t))∋f(t) governed by a maximal monotone operator A and a subdifferential operator ∂? in a Hilbert space H. As the corresponding Cauchy problem cannot be expected to be uniquely solvable, the standard approach based on the Poincaré map may genuinely fail. In order to overcome this difficulty, we firstly address some approximate problems relying on a specific approximate periodicity condition. Then, periodic solutions for the original problem are obtained by establishing energy estimates and by performing a limiting procedure. As a by-product, a structural stability analysis is presented for the periodic problem and an application to nonlinear PDEs is provided.     

Approximate weak invariance for semilinear differential inclusions in Banach spaces

In this paper we give a criterion for a given set K in Banach space to be approximately weakly invariant with respect to the differential inclusion x′(t) ∈ Ax(t) + F(x(t)), where A generates a C ₀-semigroup and F is a given multi-function, using the concept of a tangent set to another set. As an application, we establish the relation between approximate solutions to the considered differential inclusion and solutions to the relaxed one, i.e., x′(t) ∈ Ax(t) + [`(co)]\overline {co} F(x(t)), without any Lipschitz conditions on the multi-function F.     

Norm inequalities related to operator monotone functions

Let A,B be positive semidefinite matrices and any unitarily invariant norm on the space of matrices. We show for any non-negative operator monotone function f(t) on , and for non-negative increasing function g(t) on with g(0) = 0 and , whose inverse function is operator monotone.

Homological properties of Fourier algebras on homogeneous spaces

Let K be a compact subgroup of a locally compact group G. Completely complemented ideals in A(G/K) are characterised. Biprojectivity and biflatness for the Fourier algebra A(G/K) are studied. A(G/K) is operator biprojective precisely when K is open and if this happens, then G does not contain the free group on two generators as a closed subgroup.     

A stability result for abstract evolution problems

Consider an abstract evolution problem in a Hilbert space H (1) where A(t) is a linear, closed, densely defined operator in H with domain independent of t ≥ 0 and G(t,u) is a nonlinear operator such that ‖G(t,u)‖a(t) ‖u‖^p, p = const > 1, ‖f(t)‖ ≤ b(t). We allow the spectrum of A(t) to be in the right half‐plane Re(λ) < λ₀(t), λ₀(t) > 0, but assume that lim_{t → ∞}λ₀(t) = 0. Under suitable assumptions on a(t) and b(t), the boundedness of ‖u(t)‖ as t → ∞ is proved. If f(t) = 0, the Lyapunov stability of the zero solution to problem (1) with u₀ = 0 is established. For f ≠ 0, sufficient conditions for the Lyapunov stability are given. The novel point in our study of the stability of the solutions to abstract evolution equations is the possibility for the linear operator A(t) to have spectrum in the half‐plane Re(λ) < λ₀(t) with λ₀(t) > 0 and lim_{t → ∞}λ₀(t) = 0 at a suitable rate. The new technique, proposed in the paper, is based on an application of a novel nonlinear differential inequality. Copyright © 2012 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

Wellposedness of abstract Cauchy problems for second order differential equations

This paper concerns the abstract Cauchy problem (ACP) for an evolution equation of second order in time. LetA be a closed linear operator with domainD(A) dense in a Banach spaceX. We first characterize the exponential wellposedness of ACP onD(A ^k+1),k teN. Next let {C(t);t teR} be a family of generalized solution operators, on [D(A ^k)] toX, associated with an exponentially wellposed ACP onD(A ^k+1). Then we define a new family {T(t); Ret>0} by the abstract Weierstrass formula. We show that {T(t)} forms a holomorphic semigroup of class (H _k) onX.

The initial boundary value problem for the nonlinear parabolic equation in unbounded domain

In this paper we consider the mixed problem for the equation u _tt  + A ₁ u + A ₂(u _t ) + g(u _t ) = f(x, t) in unbounded domain, where A ₁ is a linear elliptic operator of the fourth order and A ₂ is a nonlinear elliptic operator of the second order. Under natural assumptions on the equation coefficients and f we proof existence of a solution. This result contains, as a special case, some of known before theorems of existence. Essentially, in difference up to previous results we prove theorems of existence without the additional assumption on behavior of solution at infinity.      

Continuous Linear Extension of Ultradifferentiable Functions of Beurling Type

For a weight function ω and a closed set A ? ?^N let ?_(ω)(A) denote the space of all ω-Whitney jets of Beurling type on A. It is shown that for each closed set A ? ?^N there exists an ω-extension operator EA: ?_(ω)(A) → ?_(ω)(?^N) if and only if ω is a (DN)-function (see MEISE and TAYLOR [18], 3.3). Moreover for a fixed compact set K ? ?^N there exists an ω-extension operator E_K: ?_(ω)(K) → ?_(ω)(?^N) if and only if the Fréchet space ?_(ω)(K) satisfies the property (DN) (see Vogt [29], 1.1.).     

Near viability for fully nonlinear differential inclusions

We consider the nonlinear differential inclusion x′(t) ∈ Ax(t) + F(x(t)), where A is an m-dissipative operator on a separable Banach space X and F is a multi-function. We establish a viability result under Lipschitz hypothesis on F, that consists in proving the existence of solutions of the differential inclusion above, starting from a given set, which remain arbitrarily close to that set, if a tangency condition holds. To this end, we establish a kind of set-valued Gronwall’s lemma and a compactness theorem, which are extensions to the nonlinear case of similar results for semilinear differential inclusions. As an application, we give an approximate null controllability result.     

Perturbation of an abstract differential equation containing fractional Riemann-Liouville derivatives

We consider a Cauchy type problem in a Banach space. Under the assumption that the corresponding Cauchy type problem with the operator A is uniformly well-posed and the operator B(t) is subordinate to A in some sense, we prove the unique solvability of the considered problem and its continuous dependence on initial data.     

Stabilization of bilinear control systems in Hilbert space with nonquadratic feedback

We consider bilinear control systems of the form y′(t) = Ay(t) + u(t)By(t) where A generates a strongly continuous semigroup of contraction (e ^{t A} ) _t⩾0 on an infinite-dimensional Hilbert space Y whose scalar product is denoted by 〈.,.〉. The function u denotes the scalar control. We suppose that B is a linear bounded operator from the state Y into itself. Tacking into account the control saturation, we study the problem of stabilization by feedback of the form u(t)=−f(〈By(t), y(t)〉). Application to the heat equation is considered.      

Approximation of solutions to evolution equations

The convergence of the Galerkin approximations to solutions of abstract evolution equations of the form u′(t)= ? Au(t) + M(u(t)) is shown. Here A is a closed, positive definite, self-adjoint linear operator with domain D(A) dense in a Hilbert space H and M is a non-linear map defined on D(A^½) which satisfies a Lipschitz condition on balls in D(A^½).     

Approximate solution of an inhomogeneous abstract differential equation

Recently, we have developed the necessary and sufficient conditions under which a rational function F(hA) approximates the semigroup of operators exp(tA) generated by an infinitesimal operator A. The present paper extends these results to an inhomogeneous equation u′(t) = Au(t) + f(t).
