Abstract We adapt the concept of $\mathscr{K}$-convergence of Young measures to the sequences of approximate solutions resulting from numerical schemes. We obtain new results on pointwise convergence of numerical solutions in the case when solutions of the limit continuous problem possess minimal regularity. We apply the abstract theory to a finite volume method for the isentropic Euler system describing the motion of a compressible inviscid fluid. The result can be seen as a nonlinear version of the fundamental Lax equivalence theorem.

A standard paradigm for the existence of solutions in fluid dynamics is based on the construction of sequences of approximate solutions or approximate minimizers. This approach faces serious obstacles, most notably in multi-dimensional problems, where the persistence of oscillations at ever finer scales prevents compactness. Indeed, these oscillations are an indication, consistent with recent theoretical results, of the possible lack of existence/uniqueness of solutions within the standard framework of integrable functions. It is in this context that Young measures – parametrized probability measures which can describe the limits of such oscillatory sequences – offer the more general paradigm of measure-valued solutions for these problems.We present viable numerical algorithms to compute approximate measure-valued solutions, based on the realization of approximate measures as laws of Monte Carlo sampled random fields. We prove convergence of these algorithms to measure-valued solutions for the equations of compressible and incompressible inviscid fluid dynamics, and present a large number of numerical experiments which provide convincing evidence for the viability of the new paradigm. We also discuss the use of these algorithms, and their extensions, in uncertainty quantification and contexts other than fluid dynamics, such as non-convex variational problems in materials science.

In this work, we present a numerical scheme for the approximate solutions of a 2D crawling cell migration problem. The model, defined on a non-deformable discoidal domain, consists in a Darcy fluid problem coupled with a Poisson problem and a reaction-advection-diffusion problem. Moreover, the advection velocity depends on boundary values, making the problem nonlinear and non local. For a discoidal domain, numerical solutions can be obtained using the finite volume method on the polar formulation of the model. Simulations show that different migration behaviours can be captured.

We develop a method to compute effectively the Young measures associated to sequences of numerical solutions of the compressible Euler system. Our approach is based on the concept of [Formula: see text]-convergence adapted to sequences of parameterized measures. The convergence is strong in space and time (a.e. pointwise or in certain [Formula: see text] spaces) whereas the measures converge narrowly or in the Wasserstein distance to the corresponding limit.

AbstractIn this article, hybrid Legendre block-pulse functions are implemented in determining the approximate solutions for multi-dimensional stochastic Itô–Volterra integral equations. The block-pulse function and the proposed scheme are used for deriving a methodology to obtain the stochastic operational matrix. Error and convergence analysis of the scheme is discussed. A brief discussion including numerical examples has been provided to justify the efficiency of the mentioned method.

AbstractStrongly nonlinear cubic-quintic Duffing oscillatoris considered. Approximate solutions are derived using the multiple scales Lindstedt Poincare method (MSLP), a relatively new method developed for strongly nonlinear oscillators. The free undamped oscillator is considered first. Approximate analytical solutions of the MSLP are contrasted with the classical multiple scales (MS) method and numerical simulations. It is found that contrary to the classical MS method, the MSLP can provide acceptable solutions for the case of strong nonlinearities. Next, the forced and damped case is treated. Frequency response curves of both the MS and MSLP methods are obtained and contrasted with the numerical solutions. The MSLP method and numerical simulations are in good agreement while there are discrepancies between the MS and numerical solutions.

The article considers the midpoint scheme as a finite-difference scheme for a dynamical system of the form ̇ = (). This scheme is remarkable because according to Cooper’s theorem, it preserves all quadratic integrals of motion, moreover, it is the simplest scheme among symplectic Runge-Kutta schemes possessing this property. The properties of approximate solutions were studied in the framework of numerical experiments with linear and nonlinear oscillators, as well as with a system of several coupled oscillators. It is shown that in addition to the conservation of all integrals of motion, approximate solutions inherit the periodicity of motion. At the same time, attention is paid to the discussion of introducing the concept of periodicity of an approximate solution found by the difference scheme. In the case of a nonlinear oscillator, each step requires solving a system of nonlinear algebraic equations. The issues of organizing computations using such schemes are discussed. Comparison with other schemes, including those symmetric with respect to permutation of and .̂

Abstract Laboratory observations of the leeside hydraulic jump indicate it consists of a statistically stationary turbulent motion in an overturning wave. From the point of view of the shallow-water equations (SWE), the hydraulic jump is a discontinuity in fluid-layer depth and velocity at which kinetic energy is dissipated. To provide a deeper understanding of the leeside hydraulic jump, three-dimensional numerical solutions of the Navier–Stokes equations (NSE) are carried out alongside SWE solutions for nearly identical physical initial-value problems. Starting from a constant-height layer flowing over a two-dimensional obstacle at constant speed, it is demonstrated that the SWE solutions form a leeside discontinuity owing to the collision of upstream-moving characteristic curves launched from the obstacle. Consistent with the SWE solution, the NSE solution indicates the leeside hydraulic jump begins as a steepening of the initially horizontal density interface. Subsequently, the NSE solution indicates overturning of the density interface and a transition to turbulence. Analysis of the initial-value problem in these solutions shows that the tendency to form either the leeside height–velocity discontinuity in the SWE or the overturning density interface in the exact NSE is a feature of the inviscid, nonturbulent fluid dynamics. Dissipative turbulent processes associated with the leeside hydraulic jump are a consequence of the inviscid fluid dynamics that initiate and maintain the locally unstable conditions.

We consider the quasistatic Signorini′s contact problem with damage for elastic-viscoplastic bodies. The mechanical damage of the material, caused by excessive stress or strain, is described by a damage function whose evolution is modeled by an inclusion of parabolic type. We provide a variational formulation for the mechanical problem and sketch a proof of the existence of a unique weak solution of the model. We then introduce and study a fully discrete scheme for the numerical solutions of the problem. An optimal order error estimate is derived for the approximate solutions under suitable solution regularity. Numerical examples are presented to show the performance of the method.

We develop a numerical method by using operational matrices of fractional order integrations and differentiations to obtain approximate solutions to a class of coupled systems of fractional order partial differential equations (FPDEs). We use shifted Legendre polynomials in two variables. With the help of the aforesaid matrices, we convert the system under consideration to a system of easily solvable algebraic equation of Sylvester type. During this process, we need no discretization of the data. We also provide error analysis and some test problems to demonstrate the established technique.

Duffing-van der Pol oscillator with fractional derivative was constructed in this paper. The solution procedure was proposed with the residue harmonic balance method. The effect of different fractional orders on resonance responses of the system in steady state were analyzed for an example without parameters. The approximate solutions were contrasted with numerical solutions. The results show that the residue harmonic balance method to Duffing-van der Pol differential equation with fractional derivative is very valid.
