Hyperbolicity of periodic solutions of functional differential equations with several delays

We study conditions for the hyperbolicity of periodic solutions to nonlinear functional differential equations in terms of the eigenvalues of the monodromy operator. The eigenvalue problem for the monodromy operator is reduced to a boundary value problem for a system of ordinary differential equations with a spectral parameter. This makes it possible to construct a characteristic function. We prove that the zeros of this function coincide with the eigenvalues of the monodromy operator and, under certain additional conditions, the multiplicity of a zero of the characteristic function coincides with the algebraic multiplicity of the corresponding eigenvalue.     

On the solvability of the boundary-value problem for second-order equations in Hilbert space with an operator coefficient in the boundary condition

We consider the boundary-value problem on a finite interval for a class of second-order operator-differential equations with a linear operator in one of its boundary conditions. We obtain sufficient conditions for the regular solvability of the boundary-value problem under consideration; these conditions are expressed only in terms of its operator coefficients.     

Singular solutions for a class of Grusin type operators

We construct singular solutions for a one-parameter family of partial differential equations with double characteristics and with complex lower order terms. The parameter belongs to a discrete set which is described in terms of the spectrum of a related differential operator.

     

Additive Difference Schemes and Iteration Methods for Problems of Mathematical Physics

We construct additive difference schemes for first-order differential–operator equations. The exposition is based on the general theory of stability for operator–difference schemes in lattice Hilbert spaces. The main focus is on the case of additive decomposition with an arbitrary number of mutually noncommuting operator terms. Additive schemes for second-order evolution equations are considered in the same way.     

Generalised Maxwell Equations in Higher Dimensions

This paper deals with the generalisation of the classical Maxwell equations to arbitrary dimension \(m\) and their connections with the Rarita–Schwinger equation. This is done using the framework of Clifford analysis, a multivariate function theory in which arbitrary irreducible representations for the spin group can be realised in terms of polynomials satisfying a system of differential equations. This allows the construction of generalised wave equations in terms of the unique conformally invariant second-order operator acting on harmonic-valued functions. We prove the ellipticity of this operator and use this to investigate the kernel, focusing on both polynomial solutions and the fundamental solution.     

Integration of the Continual System of Nonlinear Interaction Waves

We derive the continual system of nonlinear interaction waves from the compatibility of the transport equation on the whole line and the equation governing the time-evolution of the eigenfunctions of the transport operator. The transport equation represents the continual generalization from the n-component system of first-order ordinary differential equations. The continual system describes a nonlinear interaction of waves. We prove that the continual system can be integrated by the inverse scattering method. The method is based on applying the results of the inverse scattering problem for the transport equation to finding the solution of the Cauchy initial-value problem for the continual system. Indeed, the transition operator for the scattering problem admits right and left Volterra factorizations. The intermediate operator for this problem determines the one-to-one correspondence between the preimages of a solution of the transport equation. This operator is related to the transition operator and admits not only right and left Volterra factorizations but also the analytic factorization. By virtue of this fact the potential in the transport equation is uniquely reconstructed in terms of the solutions of the fundamental equations in inverse problem.We introduce the generalized Lax equation. This enables us to derive the time-evolution of the transition operator. Then, the time-dependent intermediate operator is constructed. The solution of the considered Cauchy problem is expressed in terms of solutions of the fundamental equations in inverse problem. This solution is found uniquely from the given initial condition.     

Boundary value problem for a first-order partial differential equation with a fractional discretely distributed differentiation operator

We solve a boundary value problem for a first-order partial differential equation in a rectangular domain with a fractional discretely distributed differentiation operator. The fractional differentiation is given by Dzhrbashyan–Nersesyan operators. We construct a representation of the solution and prove existence and uniqueness theorems. The results remain valid for the corresponding equations with Riemann–Liouville and Caputo derivatives. In terms of parameters defining the fractional differential operator, we derive necessary and sufficient conditions for the solvability of the problem.     

Well-defined solvability and spectral properties of abstract hyperbolic equations with aftereffect

We study functional differential equations with unbounded operator coefficients in Hilbert spaces such that the principal part of the equation is an abstract hyperbolic equation perturbed by terms with delay and terms containing Volterra integral operators. The well-posed solvability of initial boundary-value problems for the specified problems in weighted Sobolev spaces on the positive semi-axis is established.     

On the solvability of initial boundary-value problems for a class of operator-differential equations of third order

We obtain sufficient conditions for the regular solvability of initial boundary-value problems for a class of operator-differential equations of third order with variable coefficients on the semiaxis. These conditions are expressed only in terms of the operator coefficients of the equations under study. We obtain estimates of the norms of intermediate derivative operators via the discontinuous principal parts of the equations and also find relations between these estimates and the conditions for regular solvability.     

Characterization of Riesz bases of wavelets generated from multiresolution analysis

We investigate Riesz bases of wavelets generated from multiresolution analysis. This investigation leads us to a study of refinement equations with masks being exponentially decaying sequences. In order to study such refinement equations we introduce the cascade operator and the transition operator. It turns out that the transition operator associated with an exponentially decaying mask is a compact operator on a certain Banach space of sequences. With the help of the spectral theory of the compact operator we are able to characterize the convergence of the cascade algorithm associated with an exponentially decaying mask in terms of the spectrum of the corresponding transition operator. As an application of this study we establish the main result of this paper which gives a complete characterization of all possible Riesz bases of compactly supported wavelets generated from multiresolution analysis. Several interesting examples are provided to illustrate the general theory.     

On mild solutions of gradient systems in Hilbert spaces

We consider the Cauchy problem for an infinite-dimensional Ornstein-Uhlenbeck equation perturbed by gradient of a potential. We prove some results on existence and uniqueness of mild solutions of the problem. We also provide stochastic representation of mild solutions in terms of linear backward stochastic differential equations determined by the Ornstein-Uhlenbeck operator and the potential.     

Operator differential-algebraic equations with noise arising in fluid dynamics

We study linear semi-explicit stochastic operator differential algebraic equations (DAEs) for which the constraint equation is given in an explicit form. In particular, this includes the Stokes equations arising in fluid dynamics. We combine a white noise polynomial chaos expansion approach to include stochastic perturbations with deterministic regularization techniques. With this, we are able to include Gaussian noise and stochastic convolution terms as perturbations in the differential as well as in the constraint equation. By the application of the polynomial chaos expansion method, we reduce the stochastic operator DAE to an infinite system of deterministic operator DAEs for the stochastic coefficients. Since the obtained system is very sensitive to perturbations in the constraint equation, we analyze a regularized version of the system. This then allows to prove the existence and uniqueness of the solution of the initial stochastic operator DAE in a certain weighted space of stochastic processes.     

Adiabatic approximation for the evolution generated by an <Emphasis Type="Italic">A</Emphasis>-uniformly pseudo-Hermitian Hamiltonian

We discuss an adiabatic approximation for the evolution generated by an A-uniformly pseudo-Hermitian Hamiltonian H(t). Such a Hamiltonian is a time-dependent operator H(t) similar to a time-dependent Hermitian Hamiltonian G(t) under a time-independent invertible operator A. Using the relation between the solutions of the evolution equations H(t) and G(t), we prove that H(t) and H^? (t) have the same real eigenvalues and the corresponding eigenvectors form two biorthogonal Riesz bases for the state space. For the adiabatic approximate solution in case of the minimum eigenvalue and the ground state of the operator H(t), we prove that this solution coincides with the system state at every instant if and only if the ground eigenvector is time-independent. We also find two upper bounds for the adiabatic approximation error in terms of the norm distance and in terms of the generalized fidelity. We illustrate the obtained results with several examples.     

On the Dirichlet Problem for a System of Degenerate at a Point Elliptic Equations in the Class of Bounded Functions

We consider a weakly connected (by the lowest terms) system of elliptic equations of second order with the main part in the form of the Laplace operator, the order of which becomes degenerate at an interior point of the domain. We investigate a Dirichlet-type problem in the class of bounded Hölder vector functions. We obtain sufficient conditions for the existence and uniqueness of a solution.     

On a two-fluid model of two-phase compressible flows and its numerical approximation

We consider a two-fluid model of two-phase compressible flows. First, we derive several forms of the model and of the equations of state. The governing equations in all the forms contain source terms representing the exchanges of momentum and energy between the two phases. These source terms cause unstability for standard numerical schemes. Using the above forms of equations of state, we construct a stable numerical approximation for this two-fluid model. That only the source terms cause the oscillations suggests us to minimize the effects of source terms by reducing their amount. By an algebraic operator, we transform the system to a new one which contains only one source term. Then, we discretize the source term by making use of stationary solutions. We also present many numerical tests to show that while standard numerical schemes give oscillations, our scheme is stable and numerically convergent.     

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.     

The sequential differentiation and its applications in the optimal control problems

Using the sequential approach, we define a certain generalization of the operator derivative. We establish the necessary extremum condition in terms of the sequential derivative. As examples we consider the optimal control problems for systems governed by partial nonlinear differential equations of several kinds.     

Algebraic Aspects of the Dynamics of Quantum Multilevel Systems in the Projection Operator Technique

Using the projection operator method, we obtain approximate time-local and time-nonlocal master equations for the reduced statistical operator of a multilevel quantum system with a finite number N of quantum eigenstates coupled simultaneously to arbitrary classical fields and a dissipative environment. We show that the structure of the obtained equations is significantly simplified if the free Hamiltonian dynamics of the multilevel system under the action of external fields and also its Markovian and non-Markovian evolutions due to coupling to the environment are described via the representation of the multilevel system in terms of the SU(N) algebra, which allows realizing effective numerical algorithms for solving the obtained equations when studying real problems in various fields of theoretical and applied physics.     

Study of functional-differential equations with unbounded operator coefficients

Functional-differential and integro-differential equations with the principal part being an abstract hyperbolic equation perturbed by terms with unbounded variable operator coefficients multiplying variable delays are studied. Additionally, Volterra integral operators are considered. For the equations under study, the well-posedness of initial value problems in Sobolev spaces of vector functions is proved. In the autonomous case, spectral analysis of the operator functions that are the symbols of the indicated equations is performed.
