Finite-volume solvers for a multilayer Saint-Venant system

Emmanuel Audusse, Marie-Odile Bristeau (2007)

International Journal of Applied Mathematics and Computer Science

We consider the numerical investigation of two hyperbolic shallow water models. We focus on the treatment of the hyperbolic part. We first recall some efficient finite volume solvers for the classical Saint-Venant system. Then we study their extensions to a new multilayer Saint-Venant system. Finally, we use a kinetic solver to perform some numerical tests which prove that the 2D multilayer Saint-Venant system is a relevant alternative to D hydrostatic Navier-Stokes equations.

Functions of finite fractional variation and their applications to fractional impulsive equations

Dariusz Idczak (2017)

Czechoslovak Mathematical Journal

We introduce a notion of a function of finite fractional variation and characterize such functions together with their weak σ -additive fractional derivatives. Next, we use these functions to study differential equations of fractional order, containing a σ -additive term—we prove existence and uniqueness of a solution as well as derive a Cauchy formula for the solution. We apply these results to impulsive equations, i.e. equations containing the Dirac measures.

Invariant sets and connecting orbits for nonlinear evolution equations at resonance

Piotr Kokocki (2015)

Mathematica Bohemica

We study the problem of existence of orbits connecting stationary points for the nonlinear heat and strongly damped wave equations being at resonance at infinity. The main difficulty lies in the fact that the problems may have no solutions for general nonlinearity. To address this question we introduce geometrical assumptions for the nonlinear term and use them to prove index formulas expressing the Conley index of associated semiflows. We also prove that the geometrical assumptions are generalizations...

Non-Lipschitz coefficients for strictly hyperbolic equations

Fumihiko Hirosawa, Michael Reissig (2004)

Annali della Scuola Normale Superiore di Pisa - Classe di Scienze

In the present paper we explain the classification of oscillations and its relation to the loss of derivatives for a homogeneous hyperbolic operator of second order. In this way we answer the open question if the assumptions to get C well posedness for weakly hyperbolic Cauchy problems or for strictly hyperbolic Cauchy problems with non-Lipschitz coefficients are optimal.

Numerical controllability of the wave equation through primal methods and Carleman estimates

Nicolae Cîndea, Enrique Fernández-Cara, Arnaud Münch (2013)

ESAIM: Control, Optimisation and Calculus of Variations

This paper deals with the numerical computation of boundary null controls for the 1D wave equation with a potential. The goal is to compute approximations of controls that drive the solution from a prescribed initial state to zero at a large enough controllability time. We do not apply in this work the usual duality arguments but explore instead a direct approach in the framework of global Carleman estimates. More precisely, we consider the control that minimizes over the class of admissible null...

On a phase-field model with a logarithmic nonlinearity

Alain Miranville (2012)

Applications of Mathematics

Our aim in this paper is to study the existence of solutions to a phase-field system based on the Maxwell-Cattaneo heat conduction law, with a logarithmic nonlinearity. In particular, we prove, in one and two space dimensions, the existence of a solution which is separated from the singularities of the nonlinear term.

On the Cauchy problem for linear hyperbolic functional-differential equations

Alexander Lomtatidze, Jiří Šremr (2012)

Czechoslovak Mathematical Journal

We study the question of the existence, uniqueness, and continuous dependence on parameters of the Carathéodory solutions to the Cauchy problem for linear partial functional-differential equations of hyperbolic type. A theorem on the Fredholm alternative is also proved. The results obtained are new even in the case of equations without argument deviations, because we do not suppose absolute continuity of the function the Cauchy problem is prescribed on, which is rather usual assumption in the existing...
