Darboux transformations and recursion operators for differential-difference equations

We review two concepts directly related to the Lax representations of integrable systems: Darboux transformations and recursion operators. We present an extensive list of integrable differential-difference equations with their Hamiltonian structures, recursion operators, nontrivial generalized symmetries, and Darboux-Lax representations. The new results include multi-Hamiltonian structures and recursion operators for integrable Volterra-type equations and integrable discretizations of derivative nonlinear Schrödinger equations such as the Kaup-Newell, Chen-Lee-Liu, and Ablowitz-Ramani-Segur (Gerdjikov-Ivanov) lattices. We also compute the weakly nonlocal inverse recursion operators.     

Second-order methods for accretive inclusions in a Banach space

We consider equations with set-valued accretive operators in a Banach space, whose solutions are understood in the sense of inclusion. By using the resolvent, we reduce these equations to equations with single-valued operators. For the constructed problems, we suggest a continuous and an iteration second-order method and obtain sufficient conditions for their strong convergence in some class of Banach spaces.     

Solvability of nonlinear integral equations and surjectivity of nonlinear Markov operators

In the present paper, we consider integral equations, which are associated with nonlinear Markov operators acting on an infinite-dimensional space. The solvability of these equations is examined by investigating nonlinear Markov operators. Notions of orthogonal preserving and surjective nonlinear Markov operators defined on infinite dimension are introduced, and their relations are studied, which will be used to prove the main results. We show that orthogonal preserving nonlinear Markov operators are not necessarily satisfied surjective property (unlike finite case). Thus, sufficient conditions for the operators to be surjective are described. Using these notions and results, we prove the solvability of Hammerstein equations in terms of surjective nonlinear Markov operators.     

Arithmetic Laplacians

We develop an arithmetic analogue of elliptic partial differential equations. The role of the space coordinates is played by a family of primes, and that of the space derivatives along the various primes are played by corresponding Fermat quotient operators subjected to certain commutation relations. This leads to arithmetic linear partial differential equations on algebraic groups that are analogues of certain operators in analysis constructed from Laplacians. We classify all such equations on one-dimensional groups, and analyze their spaces of solutions.     

Linear functional equations of the first, second, and third kind in L 2

Under consideration are the functional equations of the first, second, and third kind with operators in wide classes of linear continuous operators in L ₂ containing all integral operators. We propose methods for reducing these equations by linear invertible changes either to linear integral equations of the first kind with nuclear operators or to equivalent linear integral equations of the second kind with quasidegenerate Carleman kernels. Some various approximate methods of solution are applicable to the so-obtained integral equations.     

The uniqueness of a solution to the inverse Cauchy problem for a fractional differential equation in a Banach space

We consider linear fractional differential operator equations involving the Caputo derivative. The goal of this paper is to establish conditions for the unique solvability of the inverse Cauchy problem for these equations. We use properties of the Mittag-Leffler function and the calculus of sectorial operators in a Banach space. For equations with operators in a general form we obtain sufficient conditions for the unique solvability, and for equations with densely defined sectorial operators we obtain necessary and sufficient unique solvability conditions.     

Differential equations on manifolds with edge singularities in spaces with asymptotics

The present paper deals with differential equations with edge degeneration in spaces with asymptotics. We give the definition of an edge space with asymptotics, prove the continuity of operators with edge degeneration in the scale of these spaces, present statements of problems with edge operators, and state conditions providing their Fredholm property.     

Unconditionally stable schemes for convection-diffusion problems

Convection-diffusion problems are basic ones in continuum mechanics. The main features of these problems are connected with the fact that their operators may have an indefinite sign. In this paper we study the stability of difference schemes with weights for convection-diffusion problems where the convective transport operator may have various forms. We construct unconditionally stable schemes for nonstationary convection-diffusion equations based on the use of new variables. Similar schemes are also used for parabolic equations where the operator represents the sum of diffusion operators.     

A semigroup method for delay equations with relatively bounded operators in the delay term

We consider well-posedness and stability of abstract partial differential equations with unbounded operators in their delay terms. We show that the problem is equivalent to an abstract Cauchy problem in a product Banach space, give sufficient conditions on the well-posedness, make a complete spectral analysis and give robust stability criteria. The results are applied to the problem of small delays and to damped plate equations.     

New Korovkin Type Theorem for Non-Tensor Meyer–König and Zeller Operators

In this paper, we introduce a certain class of linear positive operators via a generating function, which includes the non-tensor MKZ operators and their non-trivial extension. In investigating the approximation properties, we prove a new Korovkin type approximation theorem by using appropriate test functions. We compute the rate of convergence of these operators by means of the modulus of continuity and the elements of modified Lipschitz class functions. Furthermore, we give functional partial differential equations for this class. Using the corresponding equations, we calculate the first few moments of the non-tensor MKZ operators and investigate their approximation properties. Finally, we state the multivariate versions of the results and obtain the convergence properties of the multivariate Meyer–König and Zeller operators.     

Matrix operator equations

This article is devoted to the theory and applications of matrix operator equations in normed spaces. We describe in detail the general properties of matrix operators and their representing matrices. As the indexing set we take an arbitrary countable set. This is related to stochastic applications in which it is difficult to find an enumeration that fits well with the content. Sample applications are the Markov matrices and the operators they define. Comparisons with operators of this type arise in some stochastic problems of integral geometry and tomography.     

Abstract Volterra operators

We propose a new general definition of Volterra operators. Several types of evolutionary operators, including Volterra ones in the sense of A.N. Tikhonov, satisfy this definition. For equations with generalized Volterra operators we introduce the notions of local, global, and maximally extended solutions. For solutions to nonlinear equations we formulate the existence, uniqueness, and extendability conditions. The theorems proved in this paper imply both known and new results on the solvability of concrete equations. We adduce an example of the application of obtained results to the study of the Cauchy problem for functional differential equations.     

Evolution Systems for Differential Equations with Variable Time Lags

We consider nonautonomous retarded functional differential equations under hypotheses which are designed for the application to equations with variable time lags, which may be unbounded, and construct an evolution system of solution operators which are continuously differentiable. These operators are defined on manifolds of continuously differentiable functions. The results apply to pantograph equations and to nonlinear Volterra integro-differential equations, for example. For linear equations we also provide a simpler evolution system with solution operators on a Banach space of continuous functions.     

On matrices with operator entries

In this paper we consider certain matrix equations in the field of Mikusiński operators, and construct a method for obtaining an approximate solution which allows working with numerical constants instead of operators. The theory of diagonally dominant matrices is applied for the analysis, existence and character of the obtained solutions. We introduce a method for determining approximate solutions of a discrete analogue for operational differential equations and give conditions for their existence. The error of the approximation is estimated.     

A Semigroup Method for Delay Equations with Relatively Bounded Operators in the Delay Term

We consider well-posedness and stability of abstract partial differential equations with unbounded operators in their delay terms. We show that the problem is equivalent to an abstract Cauchy problem in a product Banach space, give sufficient conditions on the well-posedness, make a complete spectral analysis and give robust stability criteria. The results are applied to the problem of small delays and to damped plate equations. September 12, 2000     

Structure of Binary Transformations of Darboux Type and Their Application to Soliton Theory

On the basis of generalized Lagrange identity for pairs of formally adjoint multidimensional differential operators and a special differential geometric structure associated with this identity, we propose a general scheme of the construction of corresponding transformation operators that are described by nontrivial topological characteristics. We construct explicitly the corresponding integro-differential symbols of transformation operators, which are used in the construction of Lax-integrable nonlinear two-dimensional evolutionary equations and their Darboux–Bäcklund-type transformations.

Regularization of Solution Operators for Quasilinear Hyperbolic-parabolic Partial Differential Equations

We list a hierarchy of hyperbolic-parabolic partial differential equations in terms of the regularization properties of their solution operators. This ranges from the most regularizing of the heat operator to the least, that of the hyperbolic conservation laws. We illustrate this with physical examples in gas dynamics and mechanics.     

Interior estimates for second-order elliptic differential (or finite-difference) equations via the maximum principle

Second-order elliptic operators are transformed into second-order elliptic operators of a higher dimensionality acting on differences of functions. Applying the maximum principle to the resulting operators yields various a-priori pointwise estimates to difference-quotients of solutions of elliptic differential, as well as finite-difference, equations. We derive Schauder estimates, estimates for equations with discontinuous coefficients, and other estimates.     

Reduction of variational inequalities with irregular operators on a ball to regular operator equations

We propose a method for reducing variational inequalities defined by general smooth irregular operators on a ball in a Hilbert space to equivalent regular operator equations. The mentioned equations involve the operator of metric projection on the boundary of the ball. We establish conditions which guarantee the local strong monotonicity of the obtained equations. We discuss applications to the problem of finding normed eigenvectors of nonlinear operators.
