Decay of solutions of some degenerate hyperbolic equations of Kirchhoff type

Barbara Szomolay (2003)

Commentationes Mathematicae Universitatis Carolinae

In this paper we study the asymptotic behavior of solutions to the damped, nonlinear vibration equation with self-interaction u ¨ = - γ u ˙ + m ( u 2 ) Δ u - δ | u | α u + f , which is known as degenerate if m ( · ) 0 , and non-degenerate if m ( · ) m 0 > 0 . We would like to point out that, to the author’s knowledge, exponential decay for this type of equations has been studied just for the special cases of α . Our aim is to extend the validity of previous results in [5] to α 0 both to the degenerate and non-degenerate cases of m . We extend our results to equations with...

Decay rates of Volterra equations on ℝN

Monica Conti, Stefania Gatti, Vittorino Pata (2007)

Open Mathematics

This note is concerned with the linear Volterra equation of hyperbolic type t t u ( t ) - α Δ u ( t ) + 0 t μ ( s ) Δ u ( t - s ) d s = 0 on the whole space ℝN. New results concerning the decay of the associated energy as time goes to infinity were established.

Defect correction and a posteriori error estimation of Petrov-Galerkin methods for nonlinear Volterra integro-differential equations

Shu Hua Zhang, Tao Lin, Yan Ping Lin, Ming Rao (2000)

Applications of Mathematics

We present two defect correction schemes to accelerate the Petrov-Galerkin finite element methods [19] for nonlinear Volterra integro-differential equations. Using asymptotic expansions of the errors, we show that the defect correction schemes can yield higher order approximations to either the exact solution or its derivative. One of these schemes even does not impose any extra regularity requirement on the exact solution. As by-products, all of these higher order numerical methods can also be...

Different models of chemotherapy taking into account drug resistance stemming from gene amplification

Jarosław Śmieja, Andrzej Świerniak (2003)

International Journal of Applied Mathematics and Computer Science

This paper presents an analysis of some class of bilinear systems that can be applied to biomedical modelling. It combines models that have been studied separately so far, taking into account both the phenomenon of gene amplification and multidrug chemotherapy in their different aspects. The mathematical description is given by an infinite dimensional state equation with a system matrix whose form allows decomposing the model into two interacting subsystems. While the first one, of a finite dimension,...
