Using some nonlinear domain decomposition method, we prove the existence of branches of solutions having singular limits for some 4-dimensional semilinear elliptic problem with exponential nonlinearity.     

Asymptotic stability of continuum sets of periodic solutions to systems with hysteresis

We consider hysteresis perturbations of a system of ODEs which possesses an asymptotically stable periodic solution z_∗. Where the oscillation of an appropriate projection of this periodic solution is smaller than some threshold number defined by the hysteresis nonlinearity, it is shown that the perturbed system has a continuum of periodic solutions with a rather simple structure in a vicinity of z_∗. The main result is a theorem on the stability of this continuum.     

Conservative finite-difference scheme for the problem of propagation of a femtosecond pulse in a nonlinear photonic crystal with nonreflecting boundary conditions

Conservative finite-difference schemes are constructed for the problems of self-action of a femtosecond laser pulse and of second-harmonic generation in a one-dimensional nonlinear photonic crystal with nonreflecting boundary conditions. The invariants of the governing equations are found taking into account these conditions. Nonreflecting conditions substantially improve the efficiency of conservative finite-difference schemes used in the modeling of complex nonlinear effects in photonic crystals, which require much smaller steps in space and time than those used in the case of linear propagation. The numerical experiments performed show that the boundary reflects no more than 0.01% of the transmitted energy, which corresponds to the truncation error in the boundary conditions. The amplitude of the reflected pulse is less than that of the pulse transmitted through the boundary by two (and more) orders of magnitude. The simulation is based on the approach proposed by the authors for the given class of problems.     

On a Class of Quasilinear Elliptic Equations

We consider a class of quasilinear elliptic boundary problems, including the following Modified Nonlinear Schrödinger Equation as a special case: $$\begin{cases} ∆u+ \frac{1}{2} u∆(u^2)−V(x)u+|u|^{q−2}u=0 \ \ \ in \ Ω, \\u=0 \ \ \ \ \ \ \ ~ ~ ~ on \ ∂Ω, \end{cases}$$ where $Ω$ is the entire space $\mathbb{R}^N$ or $Ω ⊂ \mathbb{R}^N$ is a bounded domain with smooth boundary, $q∈(2,22^∗]$ with $2^∗=2N/(N−2)$ being the critical Sobolev exponent and $22^∗= 4N/(N−2).$ We review the general methods developed in the last twenty years or so for the studies of existence, multiplicity, nodal property of the solutions within this range of nonlinearity up to the new critical exponent $4N/(N−2),$ which is a unique feature for this class of problems. We also discuss some related and more general problems.     

Numerical solution to the buckling problem for a sandwich plate under uniaxial compression

A thin rectangular sandwich plate with isotropic linear elastic layers is considered. The plate is in a plane-strain state under uniaxial compression. An exact statement of the buckling problem is given. Its approximate solution is found by the finite-difference method. The concept of base scheme is used to formulate discrete problems in explicit and compact form. As an example, the critical parameters of the plate are calculated using a computation optimization procedure. Its efficiency is demonstrated __________ Translated from Prikladnaya Mekhanika, Vol. 42, No. 9, pp. 98–105, September 2006.     

On Local Perturbations of a Three-Dimensional Boundary Layer

A high-Reynolds steady-state viscous incompressible fluid flow is investigated in the neighborhood of a small three-dimensional irregularity located on the smooth surface of a body and oriented almost along the skin-friction lines. The regime in which quasi-two-dimensional flow with a given pressure gradient is realized on the irregularity scale is studied in detail. The numerical solution of the corresponding boundary value problem for the boundary layer equations is obtained. It is shown that, as distinct from the plane case, this solution is unique.
