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
Selection theorem for systems with inheritance
The problem of finite-dimensional asymptotics of infinite-dimensional dynamic
systems is studied. A non-linear kinetic system with conservation of supports
for distributions has generically finite-dimensional asymptotics. Such systems
are apparent in many areas of biology, physics (the theory of parametric wave
interaction), chemistry and economics. This conservation of support has a
biological interpretation: inheritance. The finite-dimensional asymptotics
demonstrates effects of "natural" selection. Estimations of the asymptotic
dimension are presented. After some initial time, solution of a kinetic
equation with conservation of support becomes a finite set of narrow peaks that
become increasingly narrow over time and move increasingly slowly. It is
possible that these peaks do not tend to fixed positions, and the path covered
tends to infinity as t goes to infinity. The drift equations for peak motion
are obtained. Various types of distribution stability are studied: internal
stability (stability with respect to perturbations that do not extend the
support), external stability or uninvadability (stability with respect to
strongly small perturbations that extend the support), and stable realizability
(stability with respect to small shifts and extensions of the density peaks).
Models of self-synchronization of cell division are studied, as an example of
selection in systems with additional symmetry. Appropriate construction of the
notion of typicalness in infinite-dimensional space is discussed, and the
notion of "completely thin" sets is introduced.
