The Collocation Method and the Splitting Extrapolation for the First Kind of Boundary Integral Equations on Polygonal Regions

In this paper, the collocation methods are used to solve the boundary integral equations of the first kind on the polygon. By means of Sidi's periodic transformation and domain decomposition, the errors are proved to possess the multi-parameter asymptotic expansion at the interior point with the powers $h_{i}^{3}(i=1,...,d)$, which means that the approximations of higher accuracy and a posteriori estimation of the errors can be obtained by splitting extrapolations. Numerical experiments are carried out to show that the methods are very efficient.     

Impulsive Reaction-Diffusion Delayed Models in Biology: Integral Manifolds Approach

In this paper we study an impulsive delayed reaction-diffusion model applied in biology. The introduced model generalizes existing reaction-diffusion delayed epidemic models to the impulsive case. The integral manifolds notion has been introduced to the model under consideration. This notion extends the single state notion and has important applications in the study of multi-stable systems. By means of an extension of the Lyapunov method integral manifolds’ existence, results are established. Based on the Lyapunov functions technique combined with a Poincarè-type inequality qualitative criteria related to boundedness, permanence, and stability of the integral manifolds are also presented. The application of the proposed impulsive control model is closely related to a most important problems in the mathematical biology—the problem of optimal control of epidemic models. The considered impulsive effects can be used by epidemiologists as a very effective therapy control strategy. In addition, since the integral manifolds approach is relevant in various contexts, our results can be applied in the qualitative investigations of many problems in the epidemiology of diverse interest.

The Uniqueness Theorem of the First Integral for a Quartic Potential System

The first integrals for a quartic potential system are of the form of I_m=Σ_i=0^4m Σ_j=0^4m-i α_ij(t)q^jp^j, where m is a positive integer m = 1,2,3,..., this paper finds the expression of I_m by the recurrence method. Furthermore it shows that any I, (for which m≥2) must be a polynomial in fundamental invariant I₁ (m = 1) of degree m, and hence there is no new invariant which is independent of I₁. Thus we generalize the results of the previous papers from m = 2 to m = any positive integer, and prove the uniqueness theorem of the first integral for a quartic potential system.
