Слабконелінійні рівняння Фредгольма з виродженим ядром у банахових просторах

Рассматриваются слабонелинейные уравнения Фредгольма с вырожденным яром в банаховых пространствах. Получены необходимое условие и достаточные условия существования решений таких уравнений, построены сходящиеся итерационные процедуры для построения единственного решения и хотя бы одного из возможных решений.We consider weakly nonlinear Fredholm integral equations with degenerate kernel in Banach spaces and establish a necessary condition and sufficient conditions for the existence of solutions of equations of this kind. The convergent iterative procedures are proposed for the construction either of a single solution or of at least one possible solution

Status of the differential transformation method

Further to a recent controversy on whether the differential transformation method (DTM) for solving a differential equation is purely and solely the traditional Taylor series method, it is emphasized that the DTM is currently used, often only, as a technique for (analytically) calculating the power series of the solution (in terms of the initial value parameters). Sometimes, a piecewise analytic continuation process is implemented either in a numerical routine (e.g., within a shooting method) or in a semi-analytical procedure (e.g., to solve a boundary value problem). Emphasized also is the fact that, at the time of its invention, the currently-used basic ingredients of the DTM (that transform a differential equation into a difference equation of same order that is iteratively solvable) were already known for a long time by the "traditional"-Taylor-method users (notably in the elaboration of software packages --numerical routines-- for automatically solving ordinary differential equations). At now, the defenders of the DTM still ignore the, though much better developed, studies of the "traditional"-Taylor-method users who, in turn, seem to ignore similarly the existence of the DTM. The DTM has been given an apparent strong formalization (set on the same footing as the Fourier, Laplace or Mellin transformations). Though often used trivially, it is easily attainable and easily adaptable to different kinds of differentiation procedures. That has made it very attractive. Hence applications to various problems of the Taylor method, and more generally of the power series method (including noninteger powers) has been sketched. It seems that its potential has not been exploited as it could be. After a discussion on the reasons of the "misunderstandings" which have caused the controversy, the preceding topics are concretely illustrated.Comment: To appear in Applied Mathematics and Computation, 29 pages, references and further considerations adde

3-D inelastic analysis methods for hot section components. Volume 2: Advanced special functions models

This Annual Status Report presents the results of work performed during the third year of the 3-D Inelastic Analysis Methods for Hot Sections Components program (NASA Contract NAS3-23697). The objective of the program is to produce a series of computer codes that permit more accurate and efficient three-dimensional analyses of selected hot section components, i.e., combustor liners, turbine blades, and turbine vanes. The computer codes embody a progression of mathematical models and are streamlined to take advantage of geometrical features, loading conditions, and forms of material response that distinguish each group of selected components

Numerical computation of transonic flows by finite-element and finite-difference methods

Studies on applications of the finite element approach to transonic flow calculations are reported. Different discretization techniques of the differential equations and boundary conditions are compared. Finite element analogs of Murman's mixed type finite difference operators for small disturbance formulations were constructed and the time dependent approach (using finite differences in time and finite elements in space) was examined

On a new algorithm for time step integration of nonlinear systems

A new implicit algorithm for time step integration of finite element structural dynamic equations is presented. Convergence, stability and numerical damping properties are discussed. Due to the way nonlinear structural behavior is taken into account, the algorithm is expected to compare favorably with existing ones. Some simple numerical results are presented. A related explicit algorithm is also derived and shortly discussed
