In the present paper, we study a class of nonlinear integro-differential equations of a kinetic type describing the dynamics of opinion for two types of societies: conformist ( σ = 1 ) and anti-conformist ( σ = - 1 ). The essential role is played by the symmetric nature of interactions. The class may be related to the mesoscopic scale of description. This means that we are going to statistically describe an individual state of an agent of the system. We show that the corresponding equations result at the macroscopic scale in two different pictures: anti-diffusive ( σ = 1 ) and diffusive ( σ = - 1 ). We provide a rigorous result on the convergence. The result captures the macroscopic behavior resulting from the mesoscopic one. In numerical examples, we observe both unipolar and bipolar behavior known in political sciences.

AbstractA general class of implicit difference methods for nonlinear parabolic functional differential equations with initial boundary conditions of the Neumann type is constructed. Convergence results are proved by means of consistency and stability arguments. It is assumed that given functions satisfy nonlinear estimates of Perron type with respect to functional variables. Differential equations with deviated variables and differential integral problems can be obtained from a general model by specializing given operators. The results are illustrated by numerical examples.

Adomian’S Polynomials

In this work, a simple new iterative technique based on the integral operator, the inverse of the differential operator in the problem under consideration, is introduced to solve nonlinear integro-differential and systems of nonlinear integro-differential equations (IDEs). The introduced technique is simpler and shorter in its computational procedures and time than the other methods. In addition, it does not require discretization, linearization or any restrictive assumption of any form in providing analytical or approximate solution to linear and nonlinear equations. Also, this technique does not require calculating Adomian’s polynomials, Lagrange’s multiplier values or equating the terms of equal powers of the impeding parameter which need more computational procedures and time. These advantages make it reliable and its efficiency is demonstrated with numerical examples.

In the present work, a multiscale post-seismic relaxation mechanism, based on the existence of a distribution in relaxation time, is presented. Assuming an Arrhenius dependence of the relaxation time with uniform distributed activation energy in a mesoscopic scale, a generic logarithmic-type relaxation in a macroscopic scale results. The model was applied in the case of the strong 2015 Lefkas Mw6.5 (W. Greece) earthquake, where continuous GNSS (cGNSS) time series were recorded in a station located in the near vicinity of the epicentral area. The application of the present approach to the Lefkas event fits the observed displacements implied by a distribution of relaxation times in the range τmin ≈3.5 days to τmax ≈350 days.

Fractional differential equations have been applied to model physical and engineering processes in many fields of science and engineering. This paper adopts the fractional-order Chelyshkov functions (FCHFs) for solving the fractional differential equations. The operational matrices of fractional integral and product for FCHFs are derived. These matrices, together with the spectral collocation method, are used to reduce the fractional differential equation into a system of algebraic equations. The error estimation of the presented method is also studied. Furthermore, numerical examples and comparison with existing results are given to demonstrate the accuracy and applicability of the presented method.

By using collocation points and Hermite polynomials, electric circuit equations are transformed into a system of linear algebraic equations with unknown Hermite coefficients. These unknown Hermite coefficients have been computed by solving such algebraic equations. To illustrate the accuracy of the proposed method some numerical examples are presented.
