We study a scalar integro-differential conservation law which was recently derived by the authors as the slow erosion limit of a granular flow. Considering a set of more general erosion functions, we study the initial boundary value problem for which one cannot adapt the standard theory of conservation laws. We construct approximate solutions with a fractional step method, by recomputing the integral term at each time step. A prioriL∞bound and total variation estimates yield the convergence and global existence of solutions with bounded variation. Furthermore, we present a well-posedness analysis which establishes that these solutions are stable in the L1norm with respect to the initial data.

The initial boundary value problem for the four-velocity Broadwell equations on a square with specular reflection on the boundary is considered. Uniqueness and existence of solutions on finite time interval is established. The length of the time interval depends on the initial data. The proof of existence uses the procedure known in numerical analysis as the fractional step method. It shows that the method is convergent justifying its usage in computations.

A mesh-less numerical approach, called the moving particle semi implicit method (MPS), is presented to solve inviscid Navier-Stokes equations in a fully Lagrangian form using a fractional step method. This method consists of splitting each time step in two steps. The fluid is represented with particles and the motion of each particle is calculated through interactions with neighboring particles by means of a kernel function. In this paper, the MPS method is used to simulate a dynamic system consisting of a heavy box sinking vertically into a water tank, known as Scott Russell’s wave generator problem. This problem is an example of a falling rock avalanche into natural or artificial reservoirs. The box sinks into water tank and as a result the water is heaved up to form a solitary wave and a reverse plunging wave which forms a vortex. This vortex follows the solitary wave down the water tank. The good agreement between the numerical simulation and the analytical solution confirms the accuracy of the model. This proves the applicability of the present model in simulating complex free surface problems. The number of particles on free surface is presented as an indicator of stability of the model.

We study nonlinear Landau–Ginzburg-type equations on the half-line in the critical case where β ∈ C, ρ > 2. The linear operator K is a pseudodifferential operator defined by the inverse Laplace transform with dissipative symbol K(p) = αpρ, M = [1/2ρ]. The aim of this paper is to prove the global existence of solutions to the initial–boundary-value problem and to find the main term of the asymptotic representation of solutions in the critical case, when the time decay of the nonlinearity has the same rate as that of the linear part of the equation.

This paper is concerned with an initial-boundary value problem for screw pinches arisen from plasma physics. We prove the global existence of weak solutions to this physically very important problem. The main difficulties in the proof lie in the presence of 1/x-singularity in the equations at the origin and the additional nonlinear terms induced by the magnetic field. Solutions will be obtained as the limit of the approximate solutions in annular regions between two cylinders. Under certain growth assumption on the heat conductivity, we first derive a number of regularities of the approximate physical quantities in the fluid region, as well as a lot of uniform integrability in the entire spacetime domain. By virtue of these estimates we then argue in a similar manner as that in Ref. 20 to take the limit and show that the limiting functions are indeed a weak solution which satisfies the mass, momentum and magnetic field equations in the entire spacetime domain in the sense of distributions, but satisfies the energy equation only in the compact subsets of the fluid region. The analysis in this paper allows the possibility that energy is absorbed into the origin, i.e. the total energy be possibly lost in the limit as the inner radius goes to zero.

In this paper, we consider the existence of global solution to the initial-boundary value problem for some hyperbolic equation with P-Laplace operator and a nonlinear dissipative term using the compactness criteria and the monotone mapping’s method.

We study the initial-boundary value problem for the fractional Landau–Ginzburg equations on a segment. The aim of this paper is to prove the global existence of solutions to the inital-boundary value problem and to find the main term of the asymptotic representation of solutions.

Finite difference and homotopy analysis methods are used for the approximate solution of the initial-boundary value problem for the delay parabolic partial differential equation with the Dirichlet condition. The convergence estimates for the solution of first and second orders of difference schemes in Hölder norms are obtained. A procedure of modified Gauss elimination method is used for the solution of these difference schemes. Homotopy analysis method is applied. Comparison of finite difference and homotopy analysis methods is given on the problem.
