Analog of the cauchy function for a generalized equation with several deviations of the argument

We define a special multiplication of function series (skew multiplication) and a generalized Riemann-Stieltjes integral with function series as integration arguments. The generalized integrals and the skew multiplication are related by an integration by parts formula. The generalized integrals generate a family of linear generalized integral equations, which includes a family (represented in integral form via the Riemann-Stieltjes integral) of linear differential equations with several deviating arguments. A specific feature of these equations is that all deviating functions are defined on the same closed interval and map it into itself. This permits one to avoid specifying the initial functions and imposing any additional constraints on the deviating functions. We present a procedure for constructing the fundamental solution of a generalized integral equation. With respect to the skew multiplication, it is invertible and generates the product of the fundamental solution (a function of one variable) by its inverse function (a function of the second variable). Under certain conditions on the parameters of the equation, the product has all specific properties of the Cauchy function. We introduce the notion of adjoint generalized integral equation, obtain a representation of solutions of the original equation and the adjoint equation in generalized integral Cauchy form, and derive sufficient conditions for the convergence of solutions of a pair of adjoint equations.     

On dual and triple integral equations involving modified bessel functions

A generalisation of some tripe integral equations occuring in the solution of certain mixed boundary value problems involving the wave equation is investigated. It is found that the solution of the equations can be expressed in terms of the solution of a Fredholm intgral equation of the second kind and that a related pair of dual integral equations can be solved exactly     

A numerical study of parabolic problems with nonlinear boundary conditions

In this paper, we consider an initial‐boundary value problem for a parabolic equation with nonlinear boundary conditions. The solution to the problem can be expressed as a convolution integral of a Green's function and two unknown functions. We change the problem to a system of two nonlinear Volterra integral equations of convolution type. By using an explicit procedure on the basis of Sinc‐function properties, the resulting integral equations are replaced by a system of nonlinear algebraic equations, whose solution yields an accurate approximate solution to the parabolic problem. Some examples are considered to illustrate the ability of the proposed method. Copyright © 2012 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

Cylindrical cavity with a circumferential edge crack subjected to a uniform shearing stress

This paper contains an analysis of the stress distribution in an elastic medium having cylindrical cavity with a circumferential edge crack when it is deformed by the application of uniform shearing stress. By making a suitable representation of the stress function for the problem, the problem is reduced to the solution of a pair of singular integral equations. This pair of singular integral equations is solved numerically, and the stress intensity factor due to the effect of the crack size is calculated. Also the crack opening displacements are displayed in graphical forms.     

On the quadrature methods for the numerical solution of singular integral equations

A Cauchy type singular integral equation can be numerically solved by the use of an appropriate numerical integration rule and the reduction of this equation to a system of linear algebraic equations, either directly or after the reduction of the Cauchy type singular integral equation to an equivalent Fredholm integral equation of the second kind. In this paper two fundamental theorems on the equivalence (under appropriate conditions) of the aforementioned methods of numerical solution of Cauchy type singular integral equations are proved in sufficiently general cases of Cauchy type singular integral equations of the second kind.

Nonlocal problem with integral conditions for a system of hyperbolic equations in characteristic rectangle

We consider a nonlocal problem with integral conditions for a system of hyperbolic equations in rectangular domain. We investigate the questions of existence of unique classical solution to the problemunder consideration and approaches of its construction. Sufficient conditions of unique solvability to the investigated problem are established in the terms of initial data. The nonlocal problem with integral conditions is reduced to an equivalent problem consisting of the Goursat problem for the system of hyperbolic equations with functional parameters and functional relations. We propose algorithms for finding a solution to the equivalent problem with functional parameters on the characteristics and prove their convergence. We also obtain the conditions of unique solvability to the auxiliary boundary-value problem with an integral condition for the system of ordinary differential equations. As an example, we consider the nonlocal boundary-value problem with integral conditions for a two-dimensional system of hyperbolic equations.     

The exterior dirichlet problem for the Laplace equation

Using a standard application of Green's theorem, the exterior Dirichlet problem for the Laplace equation in three dimensions is reduced to a pair of integral equations. One integral equation is of the second kind and the other is of the first kind. It is known that the integral equation of the second kind is not uniquely solvable, however, it has been demonstrated that the pair of integral equations has a unique solution. The present approach is based on the observation that the known function appearing in the integral equation of the second kind lies in a certain Banach space E which is a proper subspace of the Banach space of continuous complex-valued functions equipped with the maximum norm. Furthermore, it can be shown that the related integral operator when restricted to E has spectral radius less than unity. Consequently, a particular solution to the integral equation of the second kind can be obtained by the method of successive approximations and the unique solution to the problem is then obtained by using the integral equation of the first kind. Comparisons are made between the present algorithm and other known constructive methods. Finally, an example is supplied to illustrate the method of this paper.     

On the approximate solution of some integral equations of the theory of elasticity and mathematical physics PMM vol. 31, no. 6, 1967, pp. 1117–1131

In this paper the development of the method presented in [1] is carried out with application to two types of integral equations encountered in mathematical physics in the investigation of many mixed problems with circular separation line of boundary conditions and in the investigation of plane mixed problems.

The algorithm is given for reducing these integral equations to solution of equivalent infinite linear algebraic systems. It is proved that the resulting infinite systems are quasi completely regular for sufficiently large values of dimensionless parameter A which enters into the systems. It is shown that reduction (truncation) of infinite systems results in finite systems of linear algebraic equations with almost triangular matrices. The last circumstance simplifies considerably the solution of these finite systems after which the solution of initial integral equations is found from simple equations. For given accuracy of the approximate solution and decrease of parameter λ the number of equations in reduced systems increases.

As an example the solution is presented for the axisymmetric problem of a die acting on an elastic layer lying without friction on a rigid foundation.     

The Elementary Solution of Triple Integral Equations and The Solution of Triple Series Equations Involving Associated Legendre Polynomials and their Application

A method is developed for the formal solution of an important class of triple integral equations involving Bessel functions. The solution of the triple integral equations is reduced to two simultaneous Fredholm integral equations and the results obtained are simpler than those of other authors and also superior for the purposes of solution by iteration. In the same manner the formal solution of triple series equations involving associated Legendre polynomials is presented. The solution of the problem is reduced to that of solving a Fredholm integral equation of the first kind. Finally to illustrate the application of the results an electrostatic problem is discussed.     

A numerical scheme for a class of nonlinear Fredholm integral equations of the second kind

In this paper an iterative approach for obtaining approximate solutions for a class of nonlinear Fredholm integral equations of the second kind is proposed. The approach contains two steps: at the first one, we define a discretized form of the integral equation and prove that by considering some conditions on the kernel of the integral equation, solution of the discretized form converges to the exact solution of the problem. Following that, in the next step, solution of the discretized form is approximated by an iterative approach. We finally on some examples show the efficiency of the proposed approach.     

On the construction of the Riemann function for an equation with leading fifth partial derivative

For an equation with four independent variables, we suggest conditions on the coefficients under which the Riemann function is a solution of a system of two integral equations. The result is used to construct the Riemann function in closed form.     

On convergence of two direct methods for solution of Cauchy type singular integral equations of the first kind

The methods for direct numerical solution of Cauchy type singular integral equations of the first kind based on Gauss-Chebyshev or Lobatto-Chebyshev numerical integration and the reduction of such an integral equation to a system of linear equations are proved to converge under appropriate conditions.     

Generalized Dirichlet‐to‐Neumann Map in Time‐Dependent Domains

We study the heat, linear Schrödinger (LS), and linear KdV equations in the domain l(t) < x < ∞ , 0 < t < T , with prescribed initial and boundary conditions and with l(t) a given differentiable function. For the first two equations, we show that the unknown Neumann or Dirichlet boundary value can be computed as the solution of a linear Volterra integral equation with an explicit weakly singular kernel. This integral equation can be derived from the formal Fourier integral representation of the solution. For the linear KdV equation we show that the two unknown boundary values can be computed as the solution of a system of linear Volterra integral equations with explicit weakly singular kernels. The derivation in this case makes crucial use of analyticity and certain invariance properties in the complex spectral plane. The above Volterra equations are shown to admit a unique solution.     

On the convergence of difference schemes for one nonlocal boundary-value problem

We consider a nonlocal boundary-value problem for the Poisson equation in a rectangular domain. Dirichlet conditions are posed on a pair of adjacent sides of a rectangle, and integral constraints are given instead of standard boundary conditions on the other pair. The corresponding difference scheme is constructed and investigated; an a priori estimate of the solution is obtained with the help of energy inequality method. Discretization error estimate that is compatible with the smoothness of the solution sought is obtained.     

Volterra integral equations and evolution equations with an integral condition

We suggest a simple method for reducing problems with an integral condition for evolution equations to a Volterra integral equation of the first kind. For Volterra equations of the convolution type, we indicate necessary and sufficient solvability conditions for the case in which the right-hand side lies in some classes of functions of finite smoothness. We use these conditions to construct examples of nonexistence of a local solution for the heat equation with an integral condition.     

Integral equations of the third kind with unbounded operators

We consider linear functional equations of the third kind in L ₂ with arbitrary measurable coefficients and unbounded integral operators with kernels satisfying broad conditions. We propose methods for reducing these equations by linear continuous invertible transformations either to equivalent integral equations of the first kind with nuclear operators or to equivalent integral equations of the second kind with quasidegenerate Carleman kernels. To the integral equations obtained after the reduction, one can apply various exact and approximate methods of solution; in particular, the two approximate methods developed in this article.     

Generalization of the Lagrange Method to the Case of Second-Order Linear Differential Equations with Constant Operator Coefficients in Locally Convex Spaces

The well-known Lagrange method for linear inhomogeneous differential equations is generalized to the case of second-order equations with constant operator coefficients in locally convex spaces. The solutions are expressed in terms of uniformly convergent functional vector-valued series generated by a pair of elements of a locally convex space. Sufficient conditions for the continuous dependence of solutions on the generating pair are obtained. The solution of the Cauchy problem for the equations under consideration is also obtained and conditions for its existence and uniqueness are given. In addition, under certain conditions, the so-called general solution of the equations (a function of most general form from which any particular solution can be derived) is obtained. The study is carried out using the characteristics (order and type) of an operator and of a sequence of operators. Also, the convergence of operator series with respect to equicontinuous bornology is used.
