We consider the accuracy of two finite difference schemes proposed recently in [Roy S., Vasudeva Murthy A.S., Kudenatti R.B., A numerical method for the hyperbolic-heat conduction equation based on multiple scale technique, Appl. Numer. Math., 2009, 59(6), 1419–1430], and [Mickens R.E., Jordan P.M., A positivity-preserving nonstandard finite difference scheme for the damped wave equation, Numer. Methods Partial Differential Equations, 2004, 20(5), 639–649] to solve an initial-boundary value problem...

In this paper, we study the one-dimensional wave equation with Boltzmann damping. Two different Boltzmann integrals that represent the memory of materials are considered. The spectral properties for both cases are thoroughly analyzed. It is found that when the memory of system is counted from the infinity, the spectrum of system contains a left half complex plane, which is sharp contrast to the most results in elastic vibration systems that the vibrating dynamics can be considered from the vibration...

For a nonlinear hyperbolic equation defined in a thin domain we prove the existence of a periodic solution with respect to time both in the non-autonomous and autonomous cases. The methods employed are a combination of those developed by J. K. Hale and G. Raugel and the theory of the topological degree.

Let $\Omega$ be a bounded domain in ${ℝ}^n$ with a smooth boundary $\Gamma$. In this work we study the existence of solutions for the following boundary value problem: $$\frac{{\partial }^{2}y}{\partial t^2}-M\left({\int }_{\Omega }{\left|\nabla y\right|}^2\mathrm{d}x\right)\Delta y-\frac{\partial }{\partial t}\Delta y=f\left(y\right)\text{in}Q=\Omega \times (0,\infty ),.1y=0\text{in}{\Sigma }_1={\Gamma }_1\times (0,\infty ),M\left({\int }_{\Omega }{\left|\nabla y\right|}^2\mathrm{d}x\right)\frac{\partial y}{\partial \nu }+\frac{\partial }{\partial t}\left(\frac{\partial y}{\partial \nu }\right)=g\text{in}{\Sigma }_0={\Gamma }_0\times (0,\infty ),y\left(0\right)=y_0,\frac{\partial y}{\partial t}\left(0\right)=y_1\text{in}\Omega ,\left(1\right)$$ where $M$ is a $C^1$-function such that $M\left(\lambda \right)\ge {\lambda }_0>0$ for every $\lambda \ge 0$ and $f\left(y\right)={\left|y\right|}^{\alpha }y$ for $\alpha \ge 0$.

We obtain a precise decay estimate of the energy of the solutions to the initial boundary value problem for the wave equation with nonlinear internal and boundary feedbacks. We show that a judicious choice of the feedbacks leads to fast energy decay.

B. Rzepecki in [5] examined the Darboux problem for the hyperbolic equation $z_{xy}=f(x,y,z,z_{xy})$ on the quarter-plane x ≥ 0, y ≥ 0 via a fixed point theorem of B.N. Sadovskii [6]. The aim of this paper is to study the Picard problem for the hyperbolic equation $z_{xy}=f(x,y,z,z_x,z_{xy})$ using a method developed by A. Ambrosetti [1], K. Goebel and W. Rzymowski [2] and B. Rzepecki [5].
