Global existence and exponential growth for a viscoelastic wave equation with dynamic boundary conditions
The goal of this work is to study a model of the wave equation with dynamic
boundary conditions and a viscoelastic term. First, applying the Faedo-Galerkin
method combined with the fixed point theorem, we show the existence and
uniqueness of a local in time solution. Second, we show that under some
restrictions on the initial data, the solution continues to exist globally in
time. On the other hand, if the interior source dominates the boundary damping,
then the solution is unbounded and grows as an exponential function. In
addition, in the absence of the strong damping, then the solution ceases to
exist and blows up in finite time.Comment: arXiv admin note: text overlap with arXiv:0810.101
On the Jordan-Moore-Gibson-Thompson wave equation in hereditary fluids with quadratic gradient nonlinearity
We prove global solvability of the third-order in time
Jordan-More-Gibson-Thompson acoustic wave equation with memory in
, where . This wave equation models ultrasonic
propagation in relaxing hereditary fluids and incorporates both local and
cumulative nonlinear effects. The proof of global solvability is based on a
sequence of high-order energy bounds that are uniform in time, and derived
under the assumption of an exponentially decaying memory kernel and
sufficiently small and regular initial data
Local existence and exponential growth for a semilinear damped wave equation with dynamic boundary conditions
In this paper we consider a multi-dimensional damped semiliear wave equation
with dynamic boundary conditions, related to the Kelvin-Voigt damping. We
firstly prove the local existence by using the Faedo-Galerkin approximations
combined with a contraction mapping theorem. Secondly, the exponential growth
of the energy and the norm of the solution is presented
Global existence and finite time blow-up in a class of stochastic nonlinear wave equations
We consider a stochastic extension of a class of wave equations with nonlinear viscoelastic damping and nonlinear forcing. We show the global existence of the solution of the stochastic equation and, additionally, when the source term dominates the damping term and when the initial data are large enough, we show that the expected value of the L p norm of the solution, blows up in finite time. In the presence of noise, we extend the previously known range of initial data corresponding to blow-up. Furthermore we use a spectral stochastic Galerkin method to perform numerical simulations that verify certain special cases of our theoretical results
Differential equations methods and applications
This book presents a variety of techniques for solving ordinary differential equations analytically and features a wealth of examples. Focusing on the modeling of real-world phenomena, it begins with a basic introduction to differential equations, followed by linear and nonlinear first order equations and a detailed treatment of the second order linear equations. After presenting solution methods for the Laplace transform and power series, it lastly presents systems of equations and offers an introduction to the stability theory. To help readers practice the theory covered, two types of exercises are provided: those that illustrate the general theory, and others designed to expand on the text material. Detailed solutions to all the exercises are included. The book is excellently suited for use as a textbook for an undergraduate class (of all disciplines) in ordinary differential equations.Â
Linear algebra
This self-contained, clearly written textbook on linear algebra is easily accessible for students. It begins with the simple linear equation and generalizes several notions from this equation for the system of linear equations and introduces the main ideas using matrices. It then offers a detailed chapter on determinants and introduces the main ideas with detailed proofs. The third chapter introduces the Euclidean spaces using very simple geometric ideas and discusses various major inequalities and identities. These ideas offer a solid basis for understanding general Hilbert spaces in functional analysis. The following two chapters address general vector spaces, including some rigorous proofs to all the main results, and linear transformation: areas that are ignored or are poorly explained in many textbooks. Chapter 6 introduces the idea of matrices using linear transformation, which is easier to understand than the usual theory of matrices approach. The final two chapters are more advanced, introducing the necessary concepts of eigenvalues and eigenvectors, as well as the theory of symmetric and orthogonal matrices. Each idea presented is followed by examples.  The book includes a set of exercises at the end of each chapter, which have been carefully chosen to illustrate the main ideas. Some of them were taken (with some modifications) from recently published papers, and appear in a textbook for the first time. Detailed solutions are provided for every exercise, and these refer to the main theorems in the text when necessary, so students can see the tools used in the solution.Â
