AbstractIn this paper the numerical solution of the two-dimensional sine-Gordon equation is studied. Split local artificial boundary conditions are obtained by the operator splitting method. Then the original problem is reduced to an initial boundary value problem on a bounded computational domain, which can be solved by the finite difference method. Several numerical examples are provided to demonstrate the effectiveness and accuracy of the proposed method, and some interesting propagation and collision behaviors of the solitary wave solutions are observed.

We introduce a new type of splitting method for semilinear partial differential equations. The method is analyzed in detail for the case of the two-dimensional static sine-Gordon equation describing a large area Josephson junction with overlap current feed and external magnetic field. The solution is separated into an explicit term that satisfies the one-dimensional sine-Gordon equation in the y-direction with boundary conditions determined by the bias current and a residual which is expanded using modes in the y-direction, the coefficients of which satisfy ordinary differential equations in x with boundary conditions given by the magnetic field. We show by direct comparison with a two-dimensional solution that this method converges and that it is an efficient way of solving the problem. The convergence of the y expansion for the residual is compared for Fourier cosine modes and the normal modes associated to the static one-dimensional sine-Gordon equation and we find a faster convergence for the latter. Even for such large widths as w=10 two such modes are enough to give accurate results.

AbstractThe numerical solution of the time-fractional sub-diffusion equation on an unbounded domain in two-dimensional space is considered, where a circular artificial boundary is introduced to divide the unbounded domain into a bounded computational domain and an unbounded exterior domain. The local artificial boundary conditions for the fractional sub-diffusion equation are designed on the circular artificial boundary by a joint Laplace transform and Fourier series expansion, and some auxiliary variables are introduced to circumvent high-order derivatives in the artificial boundary conditions. The original problem defined on the unbounded domain is thus reduced to an initial boundary value problem on a bounded computational domain. A finite difference and L1 approximation are applied for the space variables and the Caputo time-fractional derivative, respectively. Two numerical examples demonstrate the performance of the proposed method.

Burgers’ equation on an unbounded domain is an important mathematical model to treat with some external problems of fluid materials. In this paper, we study a FDM of Burgers’ equation using high-order artificial boundary conditions on the unbounded domain. First, the original problem is converted into the heat equation on an unbounded domain by Hopf-Cole transformation. Thus the difficulty of nonlinearity of Burgers’ equation is overcome. Second, high-order artificial boundary conditions are given by using Padé approximation and Laplace transformation. And the conditions confine the heat equation onto a bounded computational domain. Third, we prove the solutions of the resulting heat equation and Burgers’ equation are both stable. Fourth, we establish the FDM for Burgers’ equation on the bounded computational domain. Finally, a numerical example demonstrates the stability, the effectiveness and the second-order convergence of the proposed method.

Viscous boundary, viscous spring boundary, infinite boundary have been widely used during the last decades to solve the wave propagation in the infinite ground. In this paper we evaluate the performance of the three boundary conditions focusing on their solution precision. The comparison is performed on a two dimensional finite element model built by ABAQUS. The results show that viscous spring boundary outperforms the other boundary conditions, and viscous boundary is better than infinite element.
