General method of integration of partial differential equations of the n-th order
This paper addresses the derivation of new second-kind Fredholm combined field integral equations for the Krylov iterative solution of tridimensional acoustic scattering problems by a smooth closed surface. These integral equations need the introduction of suitable tangential square-root operators to regularize the formulations. Existence and uniqueness occur for these formulations. They can be interpreted as generalizations of the well-known Brakhage-Werner [A. Brakhage and P. Werner, Arch....
We consider the initial-value problem for a nonlinear hyperbolic-parabolic system of three coupled partial differential equations of second order describing the process of thermodiffusion in a solid body (in one-dimensional space). We prove global (in time) existence and uniqueness of the solution to the initial-value problem for this nonlinear system. The global existence is proved using time decay estimates for the solution of the associated linearized problem. Next, we prove an energy estimate...
