A certain representation for the Heisenberg algebra in finite difference operators is established. The Lie algebraic procedure of discretization of differential equations with isospectral property is proposed. Using sl 2-algebra based approach, (quasi)-exactly-solvable finite difference equations are described. It is shown that the operators having the Hahn, Charlier and Meissner polynomials as the eigenfunctions are reproduced in the present approach as some particular cases. A discrete version of the classical orthogonal polynomials (like Hermite, Laguerre, Legendre and Jacobi ones) is introduced.

AbstractThe study solves a system of finite difference equations for flexible shallow concrete shells while taking into account the nonlinear deformations. All stiffness properties of the shell are taken as variables, i.e., stiffness surface and through-thickness stiffness. Differential equations under consideration were evaluated in the form of algebraic equations with the finite element method. For a reinforced shell, a system of 98 equations on a 8×8 grid was established, which was next solved with the approximation method from the nonlinear plasticity theory. A test case involved computing a 1×1 shallow shell taking into account the nonlinear properties of concrete. With nonlinear equations for the concrete creep taken as constitutive, equations for the quasi-static shell motion under constant load were derived. The resultant equations were written in a differential form and the problem of solving these differential equations was then reduced to the solving of the Cauchy problem. The numerical solution to this problem allows describing the stress-strain state of the shell at each point of the shell grid within a specified time interval.

A new method is proposed for obtaining finite difference equations for the solution of linear partial differential equations. The method is based on representing the approximate solution locally on a mesh element by polynomials which satisfy the differential equation. Then, by collocation, the value of the approximate solution, and its derivatives at the center of the mesh element may be expressed as a linear combination of neighbouring values of the solution.

AbstractFor operators generated by a certain class of infinite three-diagonal matrices with matrix elements we establish a characterization of the resolvent set in terms of polynomial solutions of the underlying second order finite-difference equations. This enables us to describe some asymptotic behavior of the corresponding systems of vector orthogonal polynomials on the resolvent set. We also find that the operators generated by infinite Jacobi matrices have the largest resolvent set in this class.

A theorem is proven for kth-order polynomial finite-difference equations that guarantees the divergence of solutions. A ‘basin of divergence’ is characterized and an order of divergence is provided. The basin of divergence is shown to depend on k independent parameters. An unconventional compactification method is used. Applications include the multi-step method in the numerical integration of ordinary differential equations, quadratic equations and the Henon map.

We consider a Schwarzschild type solution in the discrete Regge calculus formulation of general relativity quantized within the path integral approach. Earlier, we found a mechanism of a loose fixation of the background scale of Regge lengths. This elementary length scale is defined by the Planck scale and some free parameter of such a quantum extension of the theory. Besides, Regge action was reduced to an expansion over metric variations between the tetrahedra and, in the main approximation, is a finite-difference form of the Hilbert–Einstein action. Using for the Schwarzschild problem a priori general non-spherically symmetrical ansatz, we get finite-difference equations for its discrete version. This defines a solution which at large distances is close to the continuum Schwarzschild geometry, and the metric and effective curvature at the center are cut off at the elementary length scale. Slow rotation can also be taken into account (Lense–Thirring-like metric). Thus, we get a general approach to the classical background in the quantum framework in zero order: it is an optimal starting point for the perturbative expansion of the theory, finite-difference equations are classical, and the elementary length scale has quantum origin. Singularities, if any, are resolved.

Purpose Discrete differential operators (DDOs) of periodic functions have been examined to solve boundary-value problems. This paper aims to identify the difficulties of using those operators to solve ordinary nonlinear differential equations. Design/methodology/approach The DDOs have been applied to create the finite-difference equations and two approaches have been proposed to reduce the Gibbs effects, which arises in solutions at discontinuities on the boundaries, by adding the buffers at boundaries and applying the method of images. Findings An alternative method has been proposed to create finite-difference equations and an effective method to solve the boundary-value problems. Research limitations/implications The proposed approach can be classified as an extension of the finite-difference method based on the new formulas approximating the derivatives. This can be extended to the 2D or 3D cases with more flexible meshes. Practical implications Based on this publication, a unified methodology for directly solving nonlinear partial differential equations can be established. Originality/value New finite-difference expressions for the first- and second-order derivatives have been applied.
