New fixed point theorems in Banach algebras under weak topology features and applications to nonlinear integral equations

We introduce a class of Banach algebras satisfying certain sequential condition (P) and we prove fixed point theorems for the sum and the product of nonlinear weakly sequentially continuous operators. Later on, we give some examples of applications of these types of results to the existence of solutions of nonlinear integral equations in Banach algebras.     

On HSS-based iteration methods for weakly nonlinear systems

Based on separable property of the linear and the nonlinear terms and on the Hermitian and skew-Hermitian splitting of the coefficient matrix, we present the Picard-HSS and the nonlinear HSS-like iteration methods for solving a class of large scale systems of weakly nonlinear equations. The advantage of these methods over the Newton and the Newton-HSS iteration methods is that they do not require explicit construction and accurate computation of the Jacobian matrix, and only need to solve linear sub-systems of constant coefficient matrices. Hence, computational workloads and computer memory may be saved in actual implementations. Under suitable conditions, we establish local convergence theorems for both Picard-HSS and nonlinear HSS-like iteration methods. Numerical implementations show that both Picard-HSS and nonlinear HSS-like iteration methods are feasible, effective, and robust nonlinear solvers for this class of large scale systems of weakly nonlinear equations.     

Analytic Propagation for Nonlinear Weakly Hyperbolic Systems

The propagation of analyticity for sufficiently smooth solutions to either strictly hyperbolic, or smoothly symmetrizable nonlinear systems, dates back to Lax [14 Lax , P.D. ( 1953 ). Nonlinear hyperbolic equations . Comm. Pure Appl. Math. 6 : 231 – 258 . [Google Scholar]] and Alinhac and Métivier [2 Alinhac , S. , Métivier G. ( 1984 ). Propagation de l'analyticité des solutions de systèmes hyperboliques nonlinéaires [Propagation of analyticity for solutions of nonlinear hyperbolic systems]. Invent. Math. 75, 189–204 . [Google Scholar]]. Here we consider the general case of a system with real, possibly multiple, characteristics, and we ask which regularity should be a priori required of a given solution in order that it enjoys the propagation of analyticity. By using the technique of the quasi-symmetrizer of a hyperbolic matrix, we prove, in the one-dimensional case, the propagation of analyticity for those solutions which are Gevrey functions of order s for some s < m/(m ? 1), m being the maximum multiplicity of the characteristics.     

The piecewise polynomial collocation method for nonlinear weakly singular Volterra equations

Second-kind Volterra integral equations with weakly singular kernels typically have solutions which are nonsmooth near the initial point of the interval of integration. Using an adaptation of the analysis originally developed for nonlinear weakly singular Fredholm integral equations, we present a complete discussion of the optimal (global and local) order of convergence of piecewise polynomial collocation methods on graded grids for nonlinear Volterra integral equations with algebraic or logarithmic singularities in their kernels.

Symmetric Solutions of Nonlinear Fractional Integral Equations via a New Fixed Point Theorem under FG-Contractive Condition

We set up the existence of a symmetric outcome of a system of simultaneous nonlinear fractional integral equations, that arises in motion of water wave on smooth surface, with the help of a common fixed point theorem satisfying a generalized FG-contractive condition. To accomplish this, we introduce first the concept of generalized FG-contractive condition for two pairs of self-mappings in a complete metric space and then we establish requisites for common fixed point results for weakly compatible mappings followed by a suitable example.     

Parallel multisplitting two-stage iterative methods for large sparse systems of weakly nonlinear equations

The finite difference or the finite element discretizations of many differential or integral equations often result in a class of systems of weakly nonlinear equations. In this paper, by reasonably applying both the multisplitting and the two-stage iteration techniques, and in accordance with the special properties of this system of weakly nonlinear equations, we first propose a general multisplitting two-stage iteration method through the two-stage multiple splittings of the system matrix. Then, by applying the accelerated overrelaxation (AOR) technique of the linear iterative methods, we present a multisplitting two-stage AOR method, which particularly uses the AOR-like iteration as inner iteration and is substantially a relaxed variant of the afore-presented method. These two methods have a forceful parallel computing function and are much more suitable to the high-speed multiprocessor systems. For these two classes of methods, we establish their local convergence theories, and precisely estimate their asymptotic convergence factors under some suitable assumptions when the involved nonlinear mapping is only directionally differentiable. When the system matrix is either an H-matrix or a monotone matrix, and the nonlinear mapping is a P-bounded mapping, we thoroughly set up the global convergence theories of these new methods. Moreover, under the assumptions that the system matrix is monotone and the nonlinear mapping is isotone, we discuss the monotone convergence properties of the new multisplitting two-stage iteration methods, and investigate the influence of the multiple splittings as well as the relaxation parameters upon the convergence behaviours of these methods. Numerical computations show that our new methods are feasible and efficient for parallel solving of the system of weakly nonlinear equations.

A note on a conjecture for the critical curve of a weakly coupled system of semilinear wave equations with scale-invariant lower order terms

In this note, two blow-up results are proved for a weakly coupled system of semilinear wave equations with distinct scale-invariant lower order terms both in the subcritical case and in the critical case when the damping and the mass terms make both equations in some sense “wave-like.” In the proof of the subcritical case, an iteration argument is used. This approach is based on a coupled system of nonlinear ordinary integral inequalities and lower bound estimates for the spatial integral of the nonlinearities. In the critical case, we employ a test function-type method that has been developed recently by Ikeda-Sobajima-Wakasa and relies strongly on a family of certain self-similar solutions of the adjoint linear equation. Therefore, as critical curve in the p−q plane of the exponents of the power nonlinearities for this weakly coupled system, we conjecture a shift of the critical curve for the corresponding weakly coupled system of semilinear wave equations.     

A class of two‐stage iterative methods for systems of weakly nonlinear equations

The discretizations of many differential equations by the finite difference or the finite element methods can often result in a class of system of weakly nonlinear equations. In this paper, by applying the two-tage iteration technique and in accordance with the special properties of this weakly nonlinear system, we first propose a general two-tage iterative method through the two-tage splitting of the system matrix. Then, by applying the accelerated overrelaxation (AOR) technique of the linear iterative methods, we present a two-tage AOR method, which particularly uses the AOR iteration as the inner iteration and is substantially a relaxed variant of the afore-presented method. For these two classes of methods, we establish their local convergence theories, and precisely estimate their asymptotic convergence factors under some suitable assumptions when the involved nonlinear mapping is only B-differentiable. When the system matrix is either a monotone matrix or an H-matrix, and the nonlinear mapping is a P-bounded mapping, we thoroughly set up the global convergence theories of these new methods. Moreover, under the assumptions that the system matrix is monotone and the nonlinear mapping is isotone, we discuss the monotone convergence properties of the new two-tage iteration methods, and investigate the influence of the matrix splittings as well as the relaxation parameters on the convergence behaviours of these methods. Numerical computations show that our new methods are feasible and efficient for solving the system of weakly nonlinear equations. This revised version was published online in June 2006 with corrections to the Cover Date.     

Further improvement of weakly nonlinear theory of hydrodynamic stability

The problems of the weakly nonlinear theory of hydrodynamic stability has been re-addressed; namely, (i) why is the radius of convergence of its solution too small? (ii) it is not appropriate to use it to deal with the evolution problem of disturbances; the main reason is that the way of calculating the mean flow distortion is inappropriate, (iii) it cannot be used to deal with the initial value problem. Ways of its improvement were proposed. Its correctness was confirmed by its comparison with the results of numerical simulations.     

A class of asynchronous multisplitting two-stage iterations for large sparse block systems of weakly nonlinear equations

For the block system of weakly nonlinear equations Ax=G(x), where is a large sparse block matrix and is a block nonlinear mapping having certain smoothness properties, we present a class of asynchronous parallel multisplitting block two-stage iteration methods in this paper. These methods are actually the block variants and generalizations of the asynchronous multisplitting two-stage iteration methods studied by Bai and Huang (Journal of Computational and Applied Mathematics 93(1) (1998) 13–33), and they can achieve high parallel efficiency of the multiprocessor system, especially, when there is load imbalance. Under quite general conditions that is a block H-matrix of different types and is a block P-bounded mapping, we establish convergence theories of these asynchronous multisplitting block two-stage iteration methods. Numerical computations show that these new methods are very efficient for solving the block system of weakly nonlinear equations in the asynchronous parallel computing environment.     

A model equation for nonlinear wavelength selection and amplitude evolution of frontal waves

Summary We study a model equation describing the temporal evolution of nonlinear finite-amplitude waves on a density front in a rotating fluid. The linear spectrum includes an unstable interval where exponential growth of the amplitude is expected. It is shown that the length scale of the waves in the nonlinear situation is determined by the linear instabilities; the effect of the nonlinearities is to limit the amplitude's growth, leaving the wavelength unchanged. When linearly stable waves are prescribed as initial data, a short interval of rapid decrease in amplitude is encountered first, followed by a transfer of energy to the unstable part of the spectrum, where the fastest growing mode starts to dominate. A localized disturbance is broken up into its Fourier components, the linearly unstable modes grow at the expense of all other modes, and final amplitudes are determined by the nonlinear term. Periodic evolution of linearly unstable waves in the nonlinear situation is also observed. Based on the numerical results, the existence of low-order chaos in the partial differential equation governing weakly nonlinear wave evolution is conjectured.     

Leray–Schauder alternatives for weakly sequentially continuous mappings and application to transport equation

Motivated by the study of a general radiative transfer problem, we state some new variants of Leray–Schauder type fixed point theorems for weakly sequentially continuous operators. Further, we apply our results to establish some new existence and locality principles for a source problem in L₁‐setting with generally boundary conditions.

The existence of strong solution for a class of fully nonlinear equation

This article mainly investigates the existence of global strong solution of a class of fully nonlinear evolution equation and the strong solution of its steady-state equation. By using the T-compulsorily weakly continuous operator theory, the existence of the global strong solution of the fully nonlinear evolution equation is obtained. In addition, based on the acute angle principle, the W^2,p-strong solution for the corresponding stationary equation is also derived.

On the homogenization of weakly nonlinear divergent operators in a perforated cube

In the present paper we consider a second order weakly nonlinear elliptic equation of divergent form with a lower term growing at infinity (with respect to the unknown function) as a power function. It is proved that a sequence of solutions in the perforated cubes converges to a solution in the nonperforated cube as the diameters of the holes tends to zero, and the rate of convergence depends on the power exponent of the lower term.
