Computing Solution Operators of Boundary-value Problems for Some Linear Hyperbolic Systems of PDEs
We discuss possibilities of application of Numerical Analysis methods to
proving computability, in the sense of the TTE approach, of solution operators
of boundary-value problems for systems of PDEs. We prove computability of the
solution operator for a symmetric hyperbolic system with computable real
coefficients and dissipative boundary conditions, and of the Cauchy problem for
the same system (we also prove computable dependence on the coefficients) in a
cube . Such systems describe a wide variety of physical
processes (e.g. elasticity, acoustics, Maxwell equations). Moreover, many
boundary-value problems for the wave equation also can be reduced to this case,
thus we partially answer a question raised in Weihrauch and Zhong (2002).
Compared with most of other existing methods of proving computability for PDEs,
this method does not require existence of explicit solution formulas and is
thus applicable to a broader class of (systems of) equations.Comment: 31 page
Computability of differential equations
In this chapter, we provide a survey of results concerning the computability and computational complexity of differential equations. In particular, we study the conditions which ensure computability of the solution to an initial value problem for an ordinary differential equation (ODE) and analyze the computational complexity of a computable solution. We also present computability results concerning the asymptotic behaviors of ODEs as well as several classically important partial differential equations.info:eu-repo/semantics/acceptedVersio
