Abstract We analyse a class of variational space-time discretizations for a broad class of initial boundary value problems for linear, parabolic evolution equations. The space-time variational formulation is based on fractional Sobolev spaces of order $1/2$ and the Riemann–Liouville derivative of order $1/2$ with respect to the temporal variable. It accommodates general, conforming space discretizations and naturally accommodates discretization of infinite horizon evolution problems. We prove an inf-sup condition for $hp$-time semidiscretizations with an explicit expression of stable test functions given in terms of Hilbert transforms of the corresponding trial functions; inf-sup constants are independent of temporal order and the time-step sequences, allowing quasi-optimal, high-order discretizations on graded time-step sequences, and also $hp$-time discretizations. For solutions exhibiting Gevrey regularity in time and taking values in certain weighted Bochner spaces, we establish novel exponential convergence estimates in terms of $N_t$, the number of (elliptic) spatial problems to be solved. The space-time variational setting allows general space discretizations and, in particular, for spatial $hp$-FEM discretizations. We report numerical tests of the method for model problems in one space dimension with typical singular solutions in the spatial and temporal variable. $hp$-discretizations in both spatial and temporal variables are used without any loss of stability, resulting in overall exponential convergence of the space-time discretization.

We study a coupled system of implicit differential equations with fractional-order differential boundary conditions and the Riemann–Liouville derivative. The existence, uniqueness, and at least one solution are established by applying the Banach contraction and Leray–Schauder fixed point theorem. Furthermore, Hyers–Ulam type stabilities are discussed. An example is presented to illustrate our main result. The suggested system is the generalization of fourth-order ordinary differential equations with anti-periodic, classical, and initial boundary conditions.

In the last few years, the concepts of fractional calculus were frequently applied to other disciplines. Recently, this subject has been extended in various directions such as signal processing, applied mathematics, bio-engineering, viscoelasticity, fluid mechanics, and fluid dynamics. In fluid dynamics, the fractional derivative models were used widely in the past for the study of viscoelastic materials such as polymers in the glass transition and in the glassy state. Recently, it has increasingly been seen as an efficient tool through which a useful generalization of physical concepts can be obtained. The fractional derivatives used most are the Riemann--Liouville fractional derivative and the Caputo fractional derivative. It is well known that these operators exhibit difficulties in applications. For example, the Riemann--Liouville derivative of a constant is not zero. We deal with so called temporal fractional derivative as a prototype of general fractional derivative. We prove the global strong solvability of a linear and quasilinear initial-boundary value problems with a singular complete monotone kernels. Our main tool is a theory of evolutionary integral equations. An abstract fractional order differential equation is studied, which contains as particular case the Rayleigh–Stokes problem for a generalized second-grade fluid with a fractional derivative model. This paper concerns with an initial-boundary value problem for the Navier--Stokes--Voigt equations describing unsteady flows of an incompressible viscoelastic fluid. We give the strong formulation of this problem as a nonlinear evolutionary equation in Sobolev spaces. Using the Galerkin method with a special basis of eigenfunctions of the Stokes operator, we construct a global-in-time strong solution in two-dimensional domain. We also establish an $L_2$ decay estimate for the velocity field under the assumption that the external forces field is conservative.

In this work, two time integration algorithms for the anisotropic damage model proposed by Lemaitre et al. (2000) are compared. Specifically, the standard implicit Euler scheme is compared to an algorithm which implicitly solves the elasto-plastic evolution equations and explicitly computes the damage update. To this end, a three dimensional bending example is solved using the finite element method and the results of the two algorithms are compared for different time step sizes.

Nonlinear singularly perturbed problem for time-delay evolution equation with two parameters is studied. Using the variables of the multiple scales method, homogeneous equilibrium method, and approximation expansion method from the singularly perturbed theories, the structure of the solution to the time-delay problem with two small parameters is discussed. Under suitable conditions, first, the outer solution to the time-delay initial boundary value problem is given. Second, the multiple scales variables are introduced to obtain the shock wave solution and boundary layer corrective terms for the solution. Then, the stretched variable is applied to get the initial layer correction terms. Finally, using the singularly perturbed theory and the fixed point theorem from functional analysis, the uniform validity of asymptotic expansion solution to the problem is proved. In addition, the proposed method possesses the advantages of being very convenient to use.

We establish a class of degenerate fractional differential equations involving delay arguments in Banach spaces. The system endowed by a given background and the generalized Showalter–Sidorov conditions which are natural for degenerate type equations. We prove the results of local unique solvability by using, mainly, the method of contraction mappings. The obtained theory via its abstract results is applied to the research of initial-boundary value problems for both Scott–Blair and modified Sobolev systems of equations with delays.

AbstractFor functions $$u\in H^1(\Omega )$$u∈H1(Ω) in a bounded polytope $$\Omega \subset {\mathbb {R}}^d$$Ω⊂Rd$$d=1,2,3$$d=1,2,3 with plane sides for $$d=2,3$$d=2,3 which are Gevrey regular in $$\overline{\Omega }\backslash {\mathscr {S}}$$Ω¯\S with point singularities concentrated at a set $${\mathscr {S}}\subset \overline{\Omega }$$S⊂Ω¯ consisting of a finite number of points in $$\overline{\Omega }$$Ω¯, we prove exponential rates of convergence of hp-version continuous Galerkin finite element methods on affine families of regular, simplicial meshes in $$\Omega $$Ω. The simplicial meshes are geometrically refined towards $${\mathscr {S}}$$S but are otherwise unstructured.
