The time discretization in classes of integro‐differential equations with completely monotonic kernels: Weighted asymptotic convergence

We consider the time discretization for the solution of the equation with . Here, the operators L_j are densely defined positive self‐adjoint linear operator on a Hilbert space H and have spectral decompositions with respect to a common resolution of the identity in H . The kernel functions , are assumed to be completely monotonic on (0,∞) and locally integrable, but not constant. The considered time discretization method comes from [Da Xu, Science China Mathematics 56 (2013), 395–424], where the backward Euler method is combined with order one convolution quadrature for approximating the integral term. In this article, the convergence properties of the time discretization are given in the weighted and norm, where ρ is a given weighted function. Numerical experiments show the theoretical results. © 2015 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. Numer Methods Partial Differential Eq 32: 896–935, 2016     

Numerical solution of evolutionary integral equations with completely monotonic kernel by Runge–Kutta convolution quadrature

We study the numerical solutions of the initial boundary value problems for the Volterra‐type evolutionary integal equations, in which the integral operator is a convolution product of a completely monotonic kernel and a positive definite operator, such as an elliptic partial‐differential operator. The equation is discretized in time by the Runge–Kutta convolution quadrature. Error estimates are derived and numerical experiments reported. © 2014 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Spectral method for multidimensional Volterra integral equation with regular kernel

This paper is concerned with obtaining an approximate solution for a linear multidimensional Volterra integral equation with a regular kernel. We choose the Gauss points associated with the multidimensional Jacobi weight function ω(x)=∏di=1(1-xi)^α(1+xi)^β,-1<α,β<1/d-1/2 (d denotes the space dimensions) as the collocation points. We demonstrate that the errors of approxima te solution decay exponentially. Numerical results are presen ted to demonstrate the effectiveness of the Jacobi spectral collocation method.     

The exact solution of a class of Volterra integral equation with weakly singular kernel

In this paper, the weakly singular Volterra integral equations with an infinite set of solutions are investigated. Among the set of solutions only one particular solution is smooth and all others are singular at the origin. The numerical solutions of this class of equations have been a difficult topic to analyze and have received much previous investigation. The aim of this paper is to present a numerical technique for giving the approximate solution to the only smooth solution based on reproducing kernel theory. Applying weighted integral, we provide a new definition for reproducing kernel space and obtain reproducing kernel function. Using the good properties of reproducing kernel function, the only smooth solution is exactly expressed in the form of series. The n-term approximate solution is obtained by truncating the series. Meanwhile, we prove that the derivative of approximation converges to the derivative of exact solution uniformly. The final numerical examples compared with other methods show that the method is efficient.

On local attractivity and asymptotic stability of solutions of a quadratic Volterra integral equation

The existence of solutions of a nonlinear quadratic Volterra integral equation is studied. In our considerations we apply the technique of measures of noncompactness in conjunction with the classical Schauder fixed point principle. Such an approach allows us to obtain a result on the existence of solutions of an equation in question which are uniformly locally attractive or asymptotically stable.

On the uniform asymptotic stability for a linear integro-differential equation of Volterra type

In this paper, we give a necessary and sufficient condition on the uniform asymptotic stability of the zero solution of a linear integro-differential equation of Volterra type where the ordinary part is ax(t). We put emphasis on the case a>0. The proofs of our results are carried out by using the root analysis of the characteristic equation. In Section 5 we give some conjectures.     

On the global stability of a temporal discretization scheme for the Navier-Stokes equations

The time discretization by a linear backward Euler scheme forthe non-stationary viscous incompressible Navier–Stokesequations with a non-zero external force in a bounded 2D domainwith no-slip boundary condition or periodic boundary conditionis studied. Improved global stability results are obtained. The boundedness of the solution sequence in V and D(A) normsuniform with respect to &t for t [0, ) is proved. A similarresult in the V norm was previously obtained by (Geveci, 1989Math. Comp., 53, 43–53) for the non-forced system. A differentapproach is used here. As a corollary, the global attractorfor the approximation scheme is proved to exist, which is boundedin both V and D(A) spaces, thus compact in both H and V spaces.Applying the same techniques developed here, we are able toimprove the main result of (Hill and Süli 2000 IMA J. Numer.Anal., 20, 633–667) by showing that besides the existenceof a global attractor, the whole solution sequence is uniformlybounded in V as well, which is of significance from the pointof view of computing. As a corollary of local convergence results,upper semi-continuity of the attractor with respect to the numericalperturbation induced by the linear scheme is also establishedin both H and V spaces. Finally, some preliminary estimates,which are to our knowledge the first of their kind, on the dimensionsof the attractors in H and V spaces are also obtained.     

Compact finite difference scheme for the solution of a time fractional partial integro‐differential equation with a weakly singular kernel

In this paper, we develop a high‐order finite difference scheme for the solution of a time fractional partial integro‐differential equation with a weakly singular kernel. The fractional derivative is used in the Riemann‐Liouville sense. We prove the unconditional stability and convergence of scheme using energy method and show that the convergence order is . We provide some numerical experiments to confirm the efficiency of suggested scheme. The results of numerical experiments are compared with analytical solutions to show the efficiency of proposed scheme. It is illustrated that the numerical results are in good agreement with theoretical ones.     

Analysis of a time discretization for an implicit variational inequality modelling dynamic contact problems with friction

Some dynamic contact problems with friction can be formulated as an implicit variational inequality. A time discretization of such an inequality is given here, thus giving rise to a so‐called incremental solution. The convergence of the incremental solution is established, and then the limit is shown to be the unique solution of the variational inequality. This paper contains therefore not only some new results concerning the numerical aspect of some models of contact and friction but also a constructive existence result.

Uniform stability of solutions of Boltzmann equation for soft potential with external force

The study of Cauchy problem of the Boltzmann equation is important in both theory and applications. Existence of global solutions to the equation and uniform stability of solutions in the absence of external force were introduced in the previous work on the Boltzmann equation. In this paper, we will investigate the uniform stability of solutions in L¹ for the Cauchy problem of the Boltzmann equation when there is an external force for the case of soft potentials.

Solutions of the Boltzmann equation with infinite energy: Existence, stability and long time behavior

This paper is devoted to studying a class of solutions to the nonlinear Boltzmann equation having infinite kinetic energy, these solutions have an upper Maxwellian bound with infinite kinetic energy. Firstly, the existence and stability of this kind of solutions are established near vacuum. Secondly, it is proved that this kind of solutions are stable for any initial data, as a consequence, the Boltzmann equation has at most one solution with infinite kinetic energy. Finally, the long time behavior of the solutions is also established.     

Existence of solution for a fractional‐order Lotka‐Volterra reaction‐diffusion model with Mittag‐Leffler kernel

In the literature, many researchers have studied Lotka‐Volterra (L‐V) models for different types of studies. In order to continue the study, we consider a fractional‐order L‐V model involving three different species in the Atangana‐Baleanu‐Caputo (ABC) sense of fractional derivative. This new model has potentials for a large number of research‐oriented studies. The first point that arises is whether the new model has a solution or not. Therefore, to answer this question, we consider the existence and uniqueness (EU) of the solutions and then Hyers‐Ulam (HU) stability for the proposed L‐V model.
