    High order amplitude equation for steps on creep curve

    Full text link
    We consider a model proposed by one of the authors for a type of plastic instability found in creep experiments which reproduces a number of experimentally observed features. The model consists of three coupled non-linear differential equations describing the evolution of three types of dislocations. The transition to the instability has been shown to be via Hopf bifurcation leading to limit cycle solutions with respect to physically relevant drive parameters. Here we use reductive perturbative method to extract an amplitude equation of up to seventh order to obtain an approximate analytic expression for the order parameter. The analysis also enables us to obtain the bifurcation (phase) diagram of the instability. We find that while supercritical bifurcation dominates the major part of the instability region, subcritical bifurcation gradually takes over at one end of the region. These results are compared with the known experimental results. Approximate analytic expressions for the limit cycles for different types of bifurcations are shown to agree with their corresponding numerical solutions of the equations describing the model. The analysis also shows that high order nonlinearities are important in the problem. This approach further allows us to map the theoretical parameters to the experimentally observed macroscopic quantities.Comment: LaTex file and eps figures; Communicated to Phys. Rev.

    On transparent boundary conditions for the high--order heat equation

    Full text link
    In this paper we develop an artificial initial boundary value problem for the high-order heat equation in a bounded domain Ω\Omega. It is found an unique classical solution of this problem in an explicit form and shown that the solution of the artificial initial boundary value problem is equal to the solution of the infinite problem (Cauchy problem) in Ω\Omega.Comment: 9 page

    High Order Asymptotic Preserving DG-IMEX Schemes for Discrete-Velocity Kinetic Equations in a Diffusive Scaling

    Full text link
    In this paper, we develop a family of high order asymptotic preserving schemes for some discrete-velocity kinetic equations under a diffusive scaling, that in the asymptotic limit lead to macroscopic models such as the heat equation, the porous media equation, the advection-diffusion equation, and the viscous Burgers equation. Our approach is based on the micro-macro reformulation of the kinetic equation which involves a natural decomposition of the equation to the equilibrium and non-equilibrium parts. To achieve high order accuracy and uniform stability as well as to capture the correct asymptotic limit, two new ingredients are employed in the proposed methods: discontinuous Galerkin spatial discretization of arbitrary order of accuracy with suitable numerical fluxes; high order globally stiffly accurate implicit-explicit Runge-Kutta scheme in time equipped with a properly chosen implicit-explicit strategy. Formal asymptotic analysis shows that the proposed scheme in the limit of epsilon -> 0 is an explicit, consistent and high order discretization for the limiting equation. Numerical results are presented to demonstrate the stability and high order accuracy of the proposed schemes together with their performance in the limit

    Stabilization of high-order solutions of the cubic Nonlinear Schrodinger Equation

    Full text link
    In this paper we consider the stabilization of non-fundamental unstable stationary solutions of the cubic nonlinear Schrodinger equation. Specifically we study the stabilization of radially symmetric solutions with nodes and asymmetric complex stationary solutions. For the first ones we find partial stabilization similar to that recently found for vortex solutions while for the later ones stabilization does not seem possible

    High-order Compact Difference Schemes for the Modified Anomalous Subdiffusion Equation

    Full text link
    In this paper, two kinds of high-order compact finite difference schemes for second-order derivative are developed. Then a second-order numerical scheme for Riemann-Liouvile derivative is established based on fractional center difference operator. We apply these methods to fractional anomalous subdiffusion equation to construct two kinds of novel numerical schemes. The solvability, stability and convergence analysis of these difference schemes are studied by Fourier method in details. The convergence orders of these numerical schemes are O(Ï„2+h6)\mathcal {O}(\tau^2+h^6) and O(Ï„2+h8)\mathcal {O}(\tau^2+h^8), respectively. Finally, numerical experiments are displayed which are in line with the theoretical analysis.Comment:
