The Cauchy Problem for the System of Maxwell Equations

We consider the problem of analytic continuation of a solution to the system of Maxwell equations in a bounded spatial domain from data on part of the boundary of the domain. We construct an approximate solution to the problem using the Carleman matrix method.     

IRK Methods for Index 2 and 3 DAEs: Starting Algorithms

When semi-explicit differential-algebraic equations are solved with implicit Runge-Kutta methods, the computational effort is dominated by the cost of solving the non-linear systems. That is why it is important to have good starting values to begin the iterations. In this paper we study a type of starting algorithms, without additional computational cost, in the case of index-2 and index-3 DAEs. The order of the starting values is defined, and by using DA-series and rooted trees we obtain their general order conditions. If the RK method satisfies some simplifying assumptions, then the maximum order can be obtained.     

Equivalence Groups for First-Order Balance Equations and Applications to Electromagnetism

We investigate the groups of equivalence transformations for first-order balance equations involving an arbitrary number of dependent and independent variables. We obtain the determining equations and find their explicit solutions. The approach to this problem is based on a geometric method that depends on Cartan's exterior differential forms. The general solutions of the determining equations for equivalence transformations for first-order systems are applied to a class of the Maxwell equations of electrodynamics.     

Newton's method on Riemannian manifolds: covariant alpha theory

In this paper, Smale's theory is generalized to the contextof intrinsic Newton iteration on geodesically complete analyticRiemannian and Hermitian manifolds. Results are valid for analyticmappings from a manifold to a linear space of the same dimension,or for analytic vector fields on the manifold. The invariant is defined by means of high-order covariant derivatives. Boundson the size of the basin of quadratic convergence are given.If the ambient manifold has negative sectional curvature, thosebounds depend on the curvature. A criterion of quadratic convergencefor Newton iteration from the information available at a pointis also given.     

Small Solutions of Quadratic Diophantine Equations

We consider quadratic diophantine equations of the shape for a polynomial Q(X₁, ..., X_s) Z[X₁, ..., X_s] of degree 2.Let H be an upper bound for the absolute values of the coefficientsof Q, and assume that the homogeneous quadratic part of Q isnon-singular. We prove, for all s 3, the existence of a polynomialbound _s(H) with the following property: if equation (1) hasa solution x Z^s at all, then it has one satisfying For s = 3 and s = 4 no polynomial bounds _s(H) were previouslyknown, and for s 5 we have been able to improve existing boundsquite significantly. 2000 Mathematics Subject Classification11D09, 11E20, 11H06, 11P55.     

On the solution of Falkner-Skan equations

New existence and uniqueness proofs are given for the solutions of the equations governing the self-similar compressible boundary layer (Falkner-Skan equations). The properties of the solutions are studied and some bounds on important quantities are concluded. The paper is restricted to favourable pressure gradients and to wall cooling.     

Almost automorphic solutions for abstract functional differential equations

For abstract linear functional differential equations with an almost automorphic forcing term, we establish a result on the existence of almost automorphic solutions, which extends the classical theorem due to Massera on the existence of periodic solutions for linear periodic ordinary differential equations.     

An Epidemic Model with a Time Delay in Transmission

We study a mathematical model which was originally suggested by Greenhalgh and Das and takes into account the delay in the recruitment of infected persons. The stability of the equilibria are also discussed. In addition, we show that the introduction of a time delay in the transmission term can destabilize the system and periodic solutions can arise by Hopf bifurcation.
