A first order partial differential equation with an integral boundary condition

Gabriella Di Blasio, Mimmo Iannelli, Eugenio Sinestrari (1981)

Atti della Accademia Nazionale dei Lincei. Classe di Scienze Fisiche, Matematiche e Naturali. Rendiconti Lincei. Matematica e Applicazioni

In questo lavoro si considera un’equazione alle derivate parziali del primo ordine con una condizione sulla frontiera di tipo integrale. Si studia resistenza, l'unicità e il comportamento asintotico delle soluzioni.

An error analysis of the multi-configuration time-dependent Hartree method of quantum dynamics

Dajana Conte, Christian Lubich (2010)

ESAIM: Mathematical Modelling and Numerical Analysis

This paper gives an error analysis of the multi-configuration time-dependent Hartree (MCTDH) method for the approximation of multi-particle time-dependent Schrödinger equations. The MCTDH method approximates the multivariate wave function by a linear combination of products of univariate functions and replaces the high-dimensional linear Schrödinger equation by a coupled system of ordinary differential equations and low-dimensional nonlinear partial differential equations. The main result of this...

Approximation of solutions of Hamilton-Jacobi equations on the Heisenberg group

Yves Achdou, Italo Capuzzo-Dolcetta (2008)

ESAIM: Mathematical Modelling and Numerical Analysis

We propose and analyze numerical schemes for viscosity solutions of time-dependent Hamilton-Jacobi equations on the Heisenberg group. The main idea is to construct a grid compatible with the noncommutative group geometry. Under suitable assumptions on the data, the Hamiltonian and the parameters for the discrete first order scheme, we prove that the error between the viscosity solution computed at the grid nodes and the solution of the discrete problem behaves like h where h is the mesh step. Such...

Approximation of solutions of nonlinear initial-value problems by B-spline functions

Krzysztof Wesołowski (2011)

Banach Center Publications

This note is motivated by [GGG], where an algorithm finding functions close to solutions of a given initial value-problem has been proposed (this algorithm has been recalled in Theorem 2.2). In this paper we present a commonly used definition and basic facts concerning B-spline functions and use them to improve the mentioned algorithm. This leads us to a better estimate of the Cauchy problem solution under some additional assumption on f appearing in the Cauchy problem. We also estimate the accuracy...

Complex calculus of variations

Michel Gondran, Rita Hoblos Saade (2003)

Kybernetika

In this article, we present a detailed study of the complex calculus of variations introduced in [M. Gondran: Calcul des variations complexe et solutions explicites d’équations d’Hamilton–Jacobi complexes. C.R. Acad. Sci., Paris 2001, t. 332, série I]. This calculus is analogous to the conventional calculus of variations, but is applied here to 𝐂 n functions in 𝐂 . It is based on new concepts involving the minimum and convexity of a complex function. Such an approach allows us to propose explicit solutions...

Convergence of a non-local eikonal equation to anisotropic mean curvature motion. Application to dislocations dynamics

Francesca Da Lio, N. Forcadel, Régis Monneau (2008)

Journal of the European Mathematical Society

We prove the convergence at a large scale of a non-local first order equation to an anisotropic mean curvature motion. The equation is an eikonal-type equation with a velocity depending in a non-local way on the solution itself, which arises in the theory of dislocation dynamics. We show that if an anisotropic mean curvature motion is approximated by equations of this type then it is always of variational type, whereas the converse is true only in dimension two.
