Stability and Accuracy of Time Discretizations for Initial Value Problems
In this paper, criteria are established for uniform stability, uniform ultimate boundedness and existence of periodic solutions for third order nonlinear ordinary differential equations. In the investigation Lyapunov’s second method is used by constructing a complete Lyapunov function to obtain our results. The results obtained in this investigation complement and extend many existing results in the literature.
In this paper, stability of linear neutral systems with distributed delay is investigated. A bounded half circular region which includes all unstable characteristic roots, is obtained. Using the argument principle, stability criteria are derived which are necessary and sufficient conditions for asymptotic stability of the neutral systems. The stability criteria need only to evaluate the characteristic function on a straight segment on the imaginary axis and the argument on the boundary of a bounded...
Strong convergence estimates for pseudospectral methods applied to ordinary boundary value problems are derived. The results are also used for a convergence analysis of the Schwarz algorithm (a special domain decomposition technique). Different types of nodes (Chebyshev, Legendre nodes) are examined and compared.
