• Existence results and iterative method for fully third order nonlinear
integral boundary value problems

Abstract: We consider the boundary value problem $$\begin{array}{*{20}{c}} {u'''(t) = f(t,u(t),u'(t),u''(t)),}&{0 < t < 1,} \end{array}$$ $$\begin{array}{*{20}{c}} {u(0) = u'(0) = 0,}&{u(1) = \int_0^1 {g(s)u(s)\text{d}s,} } \end{array}$$ where f: [0, 1] × ℝ3 → ℝ+, g: [0, 1] → ℝ+ are continuous functions. The case when f = f (u(t)) was studied in 2018 by Guendouz et al. Using the fixed-point theory on cones they established the existence of positive solutions. Here, by the method developed by ourselves very recently, we establish the existence, uniqueness and positivity of the solution under easily verified conditions and propose an iterative method for finding the solution. Some examples demonstrate the validity of the obtained theoretical results and the efficiency of the iterative method.

• An instantaneous semi-Lagrangian approach for boundary control of a
melting problem

Abstract: In this paper, a sub-optimal boundary control strategy for a free boundary problem is investigated. The model is described by a non-smooth convection-diffusion equation. The control problem is addressed by an instantaneous strategy based on the characteristics method. The resulting time independent control problems are formulated as function space optimization problems with complementarity constraints. At each time step, the existence of an optimal solution is proved and first-order optimality conditions with regular Lagrange multipliers are derived for a penalized-regularized version. The performance of the overall approach is illustrated by numerical examples.

• Unified error analysis of discontinuous Galerkin methods for parabolic
obstacle problem

Abstract: We introduce and study various discontinuous Galerkin (DG) finite element approximations for a parabolic variational inequality associated with a general obstacle problem in ℝd (d = 2, 3). For the fully-discrete DG scheme, we employ a piecewise linear finite element space for spatial discretization, whereas the time discretization is carried out with the implicit backward Euler method. We present a unified error analysis for all well known symmetric and non-symmetric DG fully discrete schemes, and derive error estimate of optimal order $${\cal O}(h + \Delta t)$$ in an energy norm. Moreover, the analysis is performed without any assumptions on the speed of propagation of the free boundary and only the realistic regularity $${u_t} \in {{\cal L}^2}(0,T;{{\cal L}^2}(\Omega ))$$ is assumed. Further, we present some numerical experiments to illustrate the performance of the proposed methods.

• A new energy conservative scheme for regularized long wave equation

Abstract: An energy conservative scheme is proposed for the regularized long wave (RLW) equation. The integral method with variational limit is used to discretize the spatial derivative and the finite difference method is used to discretize the time derivative. The energy conservation of the scheme and existence of the numerical solution are proved. The convergence of the order O(h2 + τ2) and unconditional stability are also derived. Numerical examples are carried out to verify the correctness of the theoretical analysis.

• On the stabilization of laminated beams with delay

Abstract: Of concern in this paper is the laminated beam system with frictional damping and an internal constant delay term in the transverse displacement. Under suitable assumptions on the weight of the delay, we establish that the system’s energy decays exponentially in the case of equal wave speeds of propagation, and polynomially in the case of non-equal wave speeds.

• A general homogenization result of spectral problem for linearized
elasticity in perforated domains

Abstract: The goal of this paper is to establish a general homogenization result for linearized elasticity of an eigenvalue problem defined over perforated domains, beyond the periodic setting, within the framework of the H0-convergence theory. Our main homogenization result states that the knowledge of the fourth-order tensor A0, the H0-limit of Aε, is sufficient to determine the homogenized eigenvalue problem and preserve the structure of the spectrum. This theorem is proved essentially by using Tartar’s method of test functions, and some general arguments of spectral analysis used in the literature on the homogenization of eigenvalue problems. Moreover, we give a result on a particular case of a simple eigenvalue of the homogenized problem. We conclude our work by some comments and perspectives.

• On lower bounds for the variance of functions of random variables

Abstract: In this paper, we obtain lower bounds for the variance of a function of random variables in terms of measures of reliability and entropy. Also based on the obtained characterization via the lower bounds for the variance of a function of random variable X, we find a characterization of the weighted function corresponding to density function f(x), in terms of Chernoff-type inequalities. Subsequently, we obtain monotonic relationships between variance residual life and dynamic cumulative residual entropy and between variance past lifetime and dynamic cumulative past entropy. Moreover, we find lower bounds for the variance of functions of weighted random variables with specific weight functions applicable in reliability under suitable conditions.

• The Effect of a Magnetic Field on the Onset Of Bénard Convection in
Variable Viscosity Couple-Stress Fluids Using Classical Lorenz Model

Abstract: The Rayleigh-Bénard convection for a couple-stress fluid with a thermorheological effect in the presence of an applied magnetic field is studied using both linear and non-linear stability analysis. This problem discusses the three important mechanisms that control the onset of convection; namely, suspended particles, an applied magnetic field, and variable viscosity. It is found that the thermorheological parameter, the couple-stress parameter, and the Chandrasekhar number influence the onset of convection. The effect of an increase in the thermorheological parameter leads to destabilization in the system, while the Chandrasekhar number and the couple-stress parameter have the opposite effect. The generalized Lorenz’s model of the problem is essentially the classical Lorenz model but with coefficients involving the impact of three mechanisms as discussed earlier. The classical Lorenz model is a fifth-order autonomous system and found to be analytically intractable. Therefore, the Lorenz system is solved numerically using the Runge-Kutta method in order to quantify heat transfer. An effect of increasing the thermorheological parameter is found to enhance heat transfer, while the couple-stress parameter and the Chandrasekhar number diminishes the same.

• Properties of a Quasi-Uniformly Monotone Operator and its Application to
the Electromagnetic p-curl Systems

Abstract: In this paper we propose a new concept of quasi-uniform monotonicity weaker than the uniform monotonicity which has been developed in the study of nonlinear operator equation Au = b. We prove that if A is a quasi-uniformly monotone and hemi-continuous operator, then A−1 is strictly monotone, bounded and continuous, and thus the Galerkin approximations converge. Also we show an application of a quasi-uniformly monotone and hemi-continuous operator to the proof of the well-posedness and convergence of Galerkin approximations to the solution of steady-state electromagnetic p-curl systems.

• A Note on Measure-Valued Solutions to the Full Euler System

Abstract: We construct two particular solutions of the full Euler system which emanate from the same initial data. Our aim is to show that the convex combination of these two solutions form a measure-valued solution which may not be approximated by a sequence of weak solutions. As a result, the weak* closure of the set of all weak solutions, considered as parametrized measures, is not equal to the space of all measure-valued solutions. This is in stark contrast with the incompressible Euler equations.

• A Smoothing Levenberg-Marquardt Method for the Complementarity Problem
Over Symmetric Cone

Abstract: In this paper, we propose a smoothing Levenberg-Marquardt method for the symmetric cone complementarity problem. Based on a smoothing function, we turn this problem into a system of nonlinear equations and then solve the equations by the method proposed. Under the condition of Lipschitz continuity of the Jacobian matrix and local error bound, the new method is proved to be globally convergent and locally superlinearly/quadratically convergent. Numerical experiments are also employed to show that the method is stable and efficient.

• Asymptotic and Exponential Decay in Mean Square for Delay Geometric
Brownian Motion

Abstract: We derive sufficient conditions for asymptotic and monotone exponential decay in mean square of solutions of the geometric Brownian motion with delay. The conditions are written in terms of the parameters and are explicit for the case of asymptotic decay. For exponential decay, they are easily resolvable numerically. The analytical method is based on construction of a Lyapunov functional (asymptotic decay) and a forward-backward estimate for the square mean (exponential decay).

• Convergence Results of Iterative Algorithms for the Sum of Two Monotone
Operators in Reflexive Banach Spaces

Abstract: The aim of this paper is to propose two modified forward-backward splitting algorithms for zeros of the sum of a maximal monotone operator and a Bregman inverse strongly monotone operator in reflexive Banach spaces. We prove weak and strong convergence theorems of the generated sequences by the proposed methods under some suitable conditions. We apply our results to study the variational inequality problem and the equilibrium problem. Finally, a numerical example is given to illustrate the proposed methods. The results presented in this paper improve and generalize many known results in recent literature.

• On the Convergence Theory of Double K-Weak Splittings of Type II

Abstract: Recently, Wang (2017) has introduced the K-nonnegative double splitting using the notion of matrices that leave a cone K ⊆ ℝn invariant and studied its convergence theory by generalizing the corresponding results for the nonnegative double splitting by Song and Song (2011). However, the convergence theory for K-weak regular and K-nonnegative double splittings of type II is not yet studied. In this article, we first introduce this class of splittings and then discuss the convergence theory for these sub-classes of matrices. We then obtain the comparison results for two double splittings of a K-monotone matrix. Most of these results are completely new even for $$K = \mathbb{R}_ + ^n$$ . The convergence behavior is discussed by performing numerical experiments for different matrices derived from the discretized Poisson equation.

• Bie Model of Periodic Diffraction Problems in Optics

Abstract: Optical diffraction on a periodical interface belongs to relatively lowly exploited applications of the boundary integral equations method. This contribution presents a less frequent approach to the diffraction problem based on vector tangential fields of electromagnetic intensities. The problem is formulated as the system of boundary integral equations for tangential fields, for which existence and uniqueness of weak solution is proved. The properties of introduced boundary operators with singular kernel are discussed with regard to performed numerical implementation. Presented theoretical model is of advantage when the electromagnetic field near the material interface is studied, that is illustrated by several application outputs.

• Construction of convergent adaptive weighted essentially non-oscillatory
schemes for Hamilton-Jacobi equations on triangular meshes

Abstract: We propose a method of constructing convergent high order schemes for Hamilton-Jacobi equations on triangular meshes, which is based on combining a high order scheme with a first order monotone scheme. According to this methodology, we construct adaptive schemes of weighted essentially non-oscillatory type on triangular meshes for non-convex Hamilton-Jacobi equations in which the first order monotone approximations are occasionally applied near singular points of the solution (discontinuities of the derivative) instead of weighted essentially non-oscillatory approximations. Through detailed numerical experiments, the convergence and effectiveness of the proposed adaptive schemes are demonstrated.

• Traveling wave solutions in a class of higher dimensional lattice
differential systems with delays and applications

Abstract: In this paper, we are concerned with the existence of traveling waves in a class of delayed higher dimensional lattice differential systems with competitive interactions. Due to the lack of quasimonotonicity for reaction terms, we use the cross iterative and Schauder’s fixed-point theorem to prove the existence of traveling wave solutions. We apply our results to delayed higher-dimensional lattice reaction-diffusion competitive system.

• Solution of option pricing equations using orthogonal polynomial expansion

Abstract: We study both analytic and numerical solutions of option pricing equations using systems of orthogonal polynomials. Using a Galerkin-based method, we solve the parabolic partial differential equation for the Black-Scholes model using Hermite polynomials and for the Heston model using Hermite and Laguerre polynomials. We compare the obtained solutions to existing semi-closed pricing formulas. Special attention is paid to the solution of the Heston model at the boundary with vanishing volatility.

• A frictional contact problem with adhesion for viscoelastic materials with
long memory

Abstract: We consider a quasistatic contact problem between a viscoelastic material with long-term memory and a foundation. The contact is modelled with a normal compliance condition, a version of Coulomb’s law of dry friction and a bonding field which describes the adhesion effect. We derive a variational formulation of the mechanical problem and, under a smallness assumption, we establish an existence theorem of a weak solution including a regularity result. The proof is based on the time-discretization method, the Banach fixed point theorem and arguments of lower semicontinuity, compactness and monotonicity.

• Lagrangian evolution approach to surface-patch quadrangulation

Abstract: We present a method for the generation of a pure quad mesh approximating a discrete manifold of arbitrary topology that preserves the patch layout characterizing the intrinsic object structure. A three-step procedure constitutes the core of our approach which first extracts the patch layout of the object by a topological partitioning of the digital shape, then computes the minimal surface given by the boundaries of the patch layout (basic quad layout) and then evolves it towards the object boundaries. The Lagrangian evolution of the initial surface (basic quad layout) in the direction of the gradient of the signed distance function is smoothed by a mean curvature term. The direct control over the global quality of the generated quad mesh is provided by two types of tangential redistributions: area-based, to equally distribute the size of the quads, and angle-based, to preserve quad corner angles. Experimental results showed that the proposed method generates pure quad meshes of arbitrary topology objects, composed of well-shaped evenly distributed elements with few extraordinary vertices.
