Time estimates for the Cauchy problem for a third-order hyperbolic equation.
Numerical simulation of high frequency waves in highly heterogeneous media is a challenging problem. Resolving the fine structure of the wave field typically requires extremely small time steps and spatial meshes. We show that capturing macroscopic quantities of the wave field, such as the wave energy density, is achievable with much coarser discretizations. We obtain such a result using a time splitting algorithm that solves separately and successively propagation and scattering in the simplified...

The author investigates time-periodic solutions of the quasilinear beam equation with the help of accelerated convergence methods. Using the Newton iteration scheme, the problem is approximated by a sequence of linear equations solved via the Galerkin method. The derivatiove loss inherent to this kind of problems is compensated by taking advantage of smoothing operators.
The topological sensitivity analysis consists in studying the behavior of a given shape functional when the topology of the domain is perturbed, typically by the nucleation of a small hole. This notion forms the basic ingredient of different topology optimization/reconstruction algorithms. From the theoretical viewpoint, the expression of the topological sensitivity is well-established in many situations where the governing p.d.e. system is of elliptic type. This paper focuses on the derivation...

In this paper a dynamic linear model of suspension bridge center spans is formulated and three different ways of fixing the main cables are studied. The model describes vertical and torsional oscillations of the deck under the action of lateral wind. The mutual interactions of main cables, center span, and hangers are analyzed. Three variational evolutions are analyzed. The variational equations correspond to the way how the main cables are fixed. The existence, uniqueness, and continuous dependence...
We consider the Riemann problem of the dilute approximation equations with spatiotemporally dependent volume fractions from the full model of suspension, in which the particles settle to the solid substrate and the clear liquid film flows over the sediment [Murisic et al., J. Fluid. Mech. 717, 203–231 (2013)]. We present a method to find shock waves, rarefaction waves for the Riemann problem of this system. Our method is mainly based on [Smoller, Springer-Verlag, New York, second edition, (1994)]....
