TL;DR: Thanks to the spectral accuracy in both space and time of the proposed method, the storage requirement due to the “global time dependence” can be considerably relaxed, and therefore calculation of the long-time solution becomes possible.
Abstract: In this paper, we consider the numerical solution of the time fractional diffusion equation. Essentially, the time fractional diffusion equation differs from the standard diffusion equation in the time derivative term. In the former case, the first-order time derivative is replaced by a fractional derivative, making the problem global in time. We propose a spectral method in both temporal and spatial discretizations for this equation. The convergence of the method is proven by providing a priori error estimate. Numerical tests are carried out to confirm the theoretical results. Thanks to the spectral accuracy in both space and time of the proposed method, the storage requirement due to the “global time dependence” can be considerably relaxed, and therefore calculation of the long-time solution becomes possible.

TL;DR: In this paper, the traveling wave solutions involving parameters of the combined Korteweg-de Vries modified KORTeweg de Vries equation, reaction-diffusion equation, compound KdV-Burgers equation, and generalized shallow water wave equation were constructed using a new approach, namely, the (G′/G)-expansion method, where G=G(ξ) satisfies a second order linear ordinary differential equation.
Abstract: I the present paper, we construct the traveling wave solutions involving parameters of the combined Korteweg-de Vries–modified Korteweg-de Vries equation, the reaction-diffusion equation, the compound KdV–Burgers equation, and the generalized shallow water wave equation by using a new approach, namely, the (G′/G)-expansion method, where G=G(ξ) satisfies a second order linear ordinary differential equation. When the parameters take special values, the solitary waves are derived from the traveling waves. The traveling wave solutions are expressed by the hyperbolic functions, the trigonometric functions, and the rational functions.

TL;DR: In this paper, the Cauchy problem in general relativity is reduced to the problem of solving a system of hyperbolic partial differential equations, and the initial value problem is formulated for the so-called Einstein-Vlasov system, and a recent future global nonlinear stability result in this setting is described.
Abstract: After a brief introduction to classical relativity, we describe how to solve the Cauchy problem in general relativity. In particular, we introduce the notion of gauge source functions and explain how they can be used in order to reduce the problem to that of solving a system of hyperbolic partial differential equations. We then go on to explain how the initial value problem is formulated for the so-called Einstein-Vlasov system, and describe a recent future global non-linear stability result in this setting. In particular, this result applies to models of the universe which are consistent with observations.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors consider hyperbolic Timoshenko-type vibrating systems coupled to a heat equation modeling an expectedly dissipative effect through heat conduction and show that the coupling via the Cattaneo law does not yield an exponentially stable system.
Abstract: We consider hyperbolic Timoshenko-type vibrating systems that are coupled to a heat equation modeling an expectedly dissipative effect through heat conduction. While exponential stability under the Fourier law of heat conduction holds, it turns out that the coupling via the Cattaneo law does not yield an exponentially stable system. This seems to be the first example that a removal of the paradox of infinite propagation speed inherent in Fourier’s law by changing to the Cattaneo law causes a loss of the exponential stability property. Actually, for systems with history, the Fourier law keeps the exponential stability known for the pure Timoshenko system without heat conduction, but introducing the Cattaneo coupling even destroys this property.

TL;DR: In this paper, the integrability of nonlinear hyperbolic equations on quad-graphs is defined as 3D-consistency, which means that it is possible to impose equations of the same type on all faces of a three-dimensional cube so that the resulting system will be consistent.
Abstract: We consider discrete nonlinear hyperbolic equations on quad-graphs, in particular on ℤ2. The fields are associated with the vertices and an equation of the form Q(x 1, x 2, x 3, x 4) = 0 relates four vertices of one cell. The integrability of equations is understood as 3D-consistency, which means that it is possible to impose equations of the same type on all faces of a three-dimensional cube so that the resulting system will be consistent. This allows one to extend these equations also to the multidimensional lattices ℤ N . We classify integrable equations with complex fields x and polynomials Q multiaffine in all variables. Our method is based on the analysis of singular solutions.

TL;DR: In this article, a non-linear approximation type approach was proposed to solve high dimensional partial differential equations, and the link between the approach and the greedy algorithms of approximation theory studied e.g. in [R.A. DeVore and V.N.
Abstract: We investigate mathematically a nonlinear approximation type approach recently introduced in [A. Ammar et al., J. Non-Newtonian Fluid Mech., 2006] to solve high dimensional partial differential equations. We show the link between the approach and the greedy algorithms of approximation theory studied e.g. in [R.A. DeVore and V.N. Temlyakov, Adv. Comput. Math., 1996]. On the prototypical case of the Poisson equation, we show that a variational version of the approach, based on minimization of energies, converges. On the other hand, we show various theoretical and numerical difficulties arising with the non variational version of the approach, consisting of simply solving the first order optimality equations of the problem. Several unsolved issues are indicated in order to motivate further research.

TL;DR: In this article, a single-order time-fractional diffusion-wave equation is generalized by introducing a time distributed-order fractional derivative and forcing term, while a Laplacian is replaced by a general linear multi-dimensional spatial differential operator.
Abstract: A single-order time-fractional diffusion-wave equation is generalized by introducing a time distributed-order fractional derivative and forcing term, while a Laplacian is replaced by a general linear multi-dimensional spatial differential operator. The obtained equation is (in the case of the Laplacian) called a time distributed-order diffusion-wave equation. We analyse a Cauchy problem for such an equation by means of the theory of an abstract Volterra equation. The weight distribution, occurring in the distributed-order fractional derivative, is specified as the sum of the Dirac distributions and the existence and uniqueness of solutions to the Cauchy problem, and the corresponding Volterra-type equation were proven for a general linear spatial differential operator, as well as in the special case when the operator is Laplacian.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors focus on the nonlinear partial differential equations and apply the Adomina decomposition method and the variational iteration method to obtain the solutions of nonlinear wave equations.
Abstract: So far in this text we have been mainly concerned in applying classic methods, the Adomina decomposition method [3, 4, 5], and the variational iteration method [8, 9, 10] in studying first order and second order linear partial differential equations. In this chapter, we will focus our study on the nonlinear partial differential equations. The nonlinear partial differential equations arise in a wide variety of physical problems such as fluid dynamics, plasma physics, solid mechanics and quantum field theory. Systems of nonlinear partial differential equations have been also noticed to arise in chemical and biological applications. The nonlinear wave equations and the solitons concept have introduced remarkable achievements in the field of applied sciences. The solutions obtained from nonlinear wave equations are different from the solutions of the linear wave equations [1, 2].

TL;DR: The stabilization of the wave equation on general 1-d networks is studied, using an interpolation inequality similar to the one proved in Begout and Begout (2006) to obtain explicit decay estimates of the energy for smooth initial data.
Abstract: In this paper we study the stabilization of the wave equation on general 1-d networks For that, we transfer known observability results in the context of control problems of conservative systems (see [R Dager and E Zuazua, Wave Propagation, Observation, and Control in 1-d Flexible Multi-structures, Math Appl 50, Springer-Verlag, Berlin, 2006]) into a weighted observability estimate for dissipative systems Then we use an interpolation inequality similar to the one proved in [P Begout and F Soria, J Differential Equations, 240 (2007), pp 324-356] to obtain the explicit decay estimates of the energy for smooth initial data The obtained decay rate depends on the geometric and topological properties of the network We also give some examples of particular networks in which our results apply, yielding different decay rates
