The constraint equations in Maxwell theory are investigated. In analogy with some recent results on the constraints of general relativity, it is shown, regardless of the signature and dimension of the ambient space, that the “divergence of a vector field”-type constraint can always be put into linear first order hyperbolic form for which the global existence and uniqueness of solutions to an initial-boundary value problem are guaranteed.

We study a mathematical model for the growth of necrotic tumors with time delays in proliferation. By transforming this problem into an initial-boundary value problem in fixed domain of a coupled system of a parabolic equation and one integrodifferential equation with time delays, in which all equations involve discontinuous terms, and using the approximation method combined with Schauder fixed point theorem, we prove that this problem has a unique global solution in any time interval[0,T].

We investigate the longitudinal dynamics of multisection semiconductor lasers based on a model, where a hyperbolic system of partial differential equations is nonlinearly coupled with a system of ordinary differential equations. We present analytic results for that system: global existence and uniqueness of the initial‐boundary value problem, and existence of attracting invariant manifolds of low dimension. The flow on these manifolds is approximately described by the so‐called mode approximations which are systems of ordinary differential equations. Finally, we present a detailed numerical bifurcation analysis of the two-mode approximation system and compare it with the simulated dynamics of the full PDE model.

The Cauchy problem for many first-order symmetric hyperbolic (FOSH) systems is constraint preserving, i.e. the solution satisfies certain spatial differential constraints whenever the initial data does. Frequently, artificial space cut-offs are performed for such evolution systems, usually out of the necessity for finite computational domains. However, it may easily happen that boundary conditions at the artificial boundary for such a system lead to an initial boundary value problem which, while well-posed, does not preserve the constraints. Here we consider the problem of finding constraint-preserving boundary conditions for constrained FOSH systems in the well-posed class of maximal non-negative boundary conditions. Based on a characterization of maximal non-negative boundary conditions, we discuss a systematic technique for finding such boundary conditions that preserve the constraints, pending that the constraints satisfy a FOSH system themselves. We exemplify this technique by analyzing a system of wave equations in a first-order formulation subject to divergence constraints.

We show existence and uniqueness of solutions to an initial boundary value problem that entails a pantograph type functional partial differential equation with two advanced nonlocal terms. The problem models cell growth and division into two daughter cells of different sizes. There is a paucity of information about the solution to the problem for an arbitrary initial cell distribution. doi:10.1017/S144618112100002X
