Correction of atmospheric effects on earth imaging (extended inverse method)

The usual problem of correction of atmospheric scattering effects involves the inverse process of a nonlinear partial differential equation in three-dimensional space. The method developed here involves solving three initial value partial differential equations. Two of them are Chandrasekhar's type one- dimensional radiative transfer equations. The third equation is a linear partial differential equation in three-dimensional space with initial value.

An affine interpretation of Bäcklund transformations

The paper is devoted to an affine interpretation of Bäcklundmaps (Bäcklund transformations are a particular case of Bäcklund maps) for second order differential equations with unknown function of two arguments. Note that up to now there are no papers where Bäcklund transformations are interpreted as transformations of surfaces in a space other than Euclidean space. In this paper, we restrict our considerations to the case of so-called Bäcklund maps of class 1. The solutions of a differential equation are represented as surfaces of an affine space with induced connection determining a representation of zero curvature. We show that, in the case when a second order partial differential equation admits a Bäcklund map of class 1, for each solution of the equation there is a congruence of straight lines in an affine space formed by the tangents to the affine image of the solution. This congruence is an affine analog of a parabolic congruence in Euclidean space. The Bäcklund map can be interpreted as a transformation of surfaces of an affine space under which the affine image of a solution of the differential equation is mapped into a particular boundary surface of the congruence.     

A Comparison Theorem for a Nonlinear system Arising in Porous Medium Combustion

Comparison theorems for the initial value finite domain one dimensional heat equation with a discontinuous forcing term are extended to a coupled system of a heat equation and an ordinary differential equation in space, rather than the usual ordinary differential equation in time, that arises in combustion theory.     

The Fundamental Solutions of the Space, Space-Time Riesz Fractional Partial Differential Equations with Periodic Conditions

In this paper, the space-time Riesz fractional partial differential equations with periodic conditions are considered. The equations are obtained from the integral partial differential equation by replacing the time derivative with a Caputo fractional derivative and the space derivative with Riesz potential. The fundamental solutions of the space Riesz fractional partial differential equation (SRFPDE) and the space-time Riesz fractional partial differential equation (STRFPDE) are discussed, respectively. Using methods of Fourier series expansion and Laplace transform, we derive the explicit expressions of the fundamental solutions for the SRFPDE and the STRFPDE, respectively.     

Null space distributions—A new approach to finite convolution equations with a Hankel kernel

In some earlier publications it has been shown that the solutions of the boundary integral equations for some mixed boundary value problems for the Helmholtz equation permit integral representations in terms of solutions of associated complicated singular algebraic ordinary differential equations. The solutions of these differential equations, however, are required to be known on some infinite interval on the real line, which is unsatisfactory from a practical point of view. In this paper, for the example of one specific boundary integral equation, the relevant solutions of the associated differential equation are expressed by integrals which contain only one unknown generalized function, the support of this generalized function is no longer unbounded but a compact subset of the real line. This generalized function is a distributional solution of the homogeneous boundary integral equation. By this null space distribution the boundary integral equation can be solved for arbitrary right-hand sides, this solution method can be considered of being analogous to the method of variation of parameters in the theory of ordinary differential equations. The nature of the singularities of the null space distribution is worked out and it is shown that the null space distribution itself can be expressed by solutions of the associated ordinary differential equation.     

Finite-dimensional approximations for the equation of nonlinear filtering derived in mild form

The Zakai equation for the unnormalized conditional density is derived as a mild stochastic bilinear differential equation on a suitableL ² space. It is assumed that the Markov semigroup corresponding to the state process isC ₀ on such space. This allows the establishment of the existence and uniqueness of the solution by means of general theorems on stochastic differential equations in Hilbert space. Moreover, an easy treatment of convergence conditions can be given for a general class of finite-dimensional approximations, including Galerkin schemes. This is done by using a general continuity result for the solution of a mild stochastic bilinear differential equation on a Hilbert space with respect to the semigroup, the forcing operator, and the initial state, within a suitable topology.     

New approach to the Lax‐Wendroff modified differential equation for linear and nonlinear advection

The paper presents an enhanced analysis of the Lax‐Wendroff difference scheme—up to the eighth‐order with respect to time and space derivatives—of the modified‐partial differential equation (MDE) of the constant‐wind‐speed advection equation. The modified equation has been so far derived mainly as a fourth‐order equation. The Π ‐form of the first differential approximation (differential approximation or equivalent equation) derived by expressing the time derivatives in terms of the space derivatives is used for presenting the MDE. The obtained coefficients at higher order derivatives are analyzed for indications of the character of the dissipative and dispersive errors. The authors included a part of the stencil applied for determining the modified differential equation up to the eighth‐order of the analyzed modified differential equation for the second‐order Lax‐Wendroff scheme. Neither the derived coefficients at the space derivatives of order p ∈ (7 – 8) in the modified differential equation for the Lax‐Wendroff difference scheme nor the results of analyses on the basis of these coefficients of the group velocity, phase shift errors, or dispersive and dissipative features of the scheme have been published. The MDEs for 2 two‐step variants of the Lax‐Wendroff type difference schemes and the MacCormack predictor–corrector scheme (see MacCormack's study) constructed for the scalar hyperbolic conservation laws are also presented in this paper. The analysis of the inviscid Burgers equation solution with the initial condition in a form of a shock wave has been discussed on their basis. The inviscid Burgers equation with the source is also presented. The theory of MDE started to develop after the paper of C. W. Hirt was published in 1968.     

Stability of the space identification problem for the elliptic‐telegraph differential equation

The present paper is devoted to study the space identification problem for the elliptic‐telegraph differential equation in Hilbert spaces with the self‐adjoint positive definite operator. The main theorem on the stability of the space identification problem for the elliptic‐telegraph differential equation is proved. In applications, theorems on the stability of three source identification problems for one dimensional with nonlocal conditions and multidimensional elliptic‐telegraph differential equations are established.     

NUMERICAL SOLUTION OF THE SPACE FRACTIONAL DIFFERENTIAL EQUATION

In this paper, a space fractional differential equation is considered. The equation is obtained from the parabolic equation containing advection, diffusion and reaction terms by replacing the second order derivative in space by a fractional derivative in space of order. An implicit finite difference approximation for this equation is presented. The stability and convergence of the finite difference approximation are proved. A fractional-order method of lines is also presented. Finally, some numerical results are given.     

On then-th order iterative ordinary linear differential equations

Summary It is shown that a change of the basis in the solution space of a second order linear differential equation induces a covariant change in the solution space of the corresponding iterative equation. Also studied is the problem to what extent a solution of an iterative equation determines the equation.Dedicated to the memory of Alexander M.

A New Class of Theorems of the Alternative

An estimation problem for a random set that is a reachable domain of the Ito differential equation with respect to its initial data is considered. The Markov property of the reachable set in the space of closed sets is proved. For the purposes of numerical solution, a random initial set of the differential equation is approximated by a finite set on an integer multidimensional grid, and the differential equation is replaced by a multistep Markov chain. Examples are considered.     

The relationships between some types of partial differential equations and ordinary differential equations as well as their applications

In this article, we establish some relationships between several types of partial differential equations and ordinary differential equations. One application of these relationships is that we can get the exact values of the blowup time and the blowup rate of the solution to a partial differential equation by solving an ordinary differential equation. Another application of these relationships is that we can give the estimates for the spatial integration (or mean value) of the solution to a partial differential equation. We also obtain the lower and upper bounds for the blowup time of the solution to a parabolic equation with weighted function and space‐time integral in the nonlinear term.     

Exact master equations describing reduced dynamics of the Wigner function

Master equations of different types describe the evolution (reduced dynamics) of a subsystem of a larger system generated by the dynamic of the latter system. Since, in some cases, the (exact) master equations are relatively complicated, there exist numerous approximations for such equations, which are also called master equations. In the paper, we develop an exact master equation describing the reduced dynamics of the Wigner function for quantum systems obtained by a quantization of a Hamiltonian system with a quadratic Hamilton function. First, we consider an exact master equation for first integrals of ordinary differential equations in infinite-dimensional locally convex spaces. After this, we apply the results obtained to develop an exact master equation corresponding to a Liouville-type equation (which is the equation for first integrals of the (system of) Hamilton equation(s)); the latter master equation is called the master Liouville equation; it is a linear first-order differential equation with respect to a function of real variables taking values in a space of functions on the phase space. If the Hamilton equation generating the Liouville equation is linear, then the vector fields that define the first-order linear differential operators in the master Liouville equations are also linear, which in turn implies that for a Gaussian reference state the Fourier transform of a solution of the master Liouville equation also satisfies a linear differential equation. __________ Translated from Fundamentalnaya i Prikladnaya Matematika, Vol. 12, No. 5, pp. 203–219, 2005.     

Variation of constants formula and reduction principle for a class of partial functional differential equations with infinite delay

In this work, the dynamic behavior of solutions is investigated for a class of partial functional differential equations with infinite delay. We suppose that the undelayed homogeneous part generates an analytic semigroup and the delayed part is continuous with respect to fractional powers of the generator. Firstly, a variation of constants formula is obtained in the corresponding α-norm space, which is mainly used to establish a reduction principle of complexity of the considered equation. The reduction principle proves that the dynamics of the considered equation is governed by an ordinary differential equation in finite dimensional space. As an application, we investigate the existence of periodic, almost periodic and almost automorphic solutions for the original equation.

Fractional quasi AKNS‐technique for nonlinear space–time fractional evolution equations

This paper aims to formulate the fractional quasi‐inverse scattering method. Also, we give a positive answer to the following question: can the Ablowitz‐Kaup‐Newell‐Segur (AKNS) method be applied to the space–time fractional nonlinear differential equations? Besides, we derive the Bäcklund transformations for the fractional systems under study. Also, we construct the fractional quasi‐conservation laws for the considered fractional equations from the defined fractional quasi AKNS‐like system. The nonlinear fractional differential equations to be studied are the space–time fractional versions of the Kortweg‐de Vries equation, modified Kortweg‐de Vries equation, the sine‐Gordon equation, the sinh‐Gordon equation, the Liouville equation, the cosh‐Gordon equation, the short pulse equation, and the nonlinear Schrödinger equation.     

On the cohomology of flows of stochastic and random differential equations

We consider the flow of a stochastic differential equation on d-dimensional Euclidean space. We show that if the Lie algebra generated by its diffusion vector fields is finite dimensional and solvable, then the flow is conjugate to the flow of a non-autonomous random differential equation, i.e. one can be transformed into the other via a random diffeomorphism of d-dimensional Euclidean space. Viewing a stochastic differential equation in this form which appears closer to the setting of ergodic theory, can be an advantage when dealing with asymptotic properties of the system. To illustrate this, we give sufficient criteria for the existence of global random attractors in terms of the random differential equation, which are applied in the case of the Duffing-van der Pol oscillator with two independent sources of noise.
