Abstract. A linear non-iterative algorithm is suggested for solving nonlinear isothermal steady-state Morland–MacAyeal ice shelf equations. The idea of the algorithm is in replacing the problem of solving the non-linear second order differential equations for velocities with a system of linear first order differential equations for stresses. The resulting system of linear equations can be solved numerically with direct methods which are faster than iterative methods for solving corresponding non-linear equations. The suggested algorithm is applicable if the boundary conditions for stresses can be specified. The efficiency of the linear algorithm is demonstrated for one-dimensional and two-dimensional ice shelf equations by comparing the linear algorithm and the traditional iterative algorithm on derived manufactured solutions. The linear algorithm is shown to be as accurate as the traditional iterative algorithm but significantly faster. The method may be valuable as the way to increase the efficiency of complex ice sheet models a part of which requires solving the ice shelf model as well as to solve efficiently two-dimensional ice-shelf equations.

AbstractWe consider the following two-dimensional system of non-linear equations:u^{\prime}=g(t)|v|^{\frac{1}{\alpha}}\operatorname{sgn}v,\quad v^{\prime}=-p(t% )|u|^{\alpha}\operatorname{sgn}u,where {\alpha>0}, and {g\colon{[0,+\infty[}\rightarrow{[0,+\infty[}} and {p\colon{[0,+\infty[}\rightarrow\mathbb{R}} are locally integrable functions. Moreover, we assume that the coefficient g is non-integrable on {[0,+\infty]}. We establish new non-oscillation criteria for the considered system, which generalize known results for the corresponding linear system and for second order differential equations. In particular, the presented criteria are in compliance with the results of Hille and Nehari.

AbstractA generalization of the usual method of similarity analysis of differential equations, the method of partially invariant solutions, was introduced by Ovsiannikov. The degree of non-invariance of these solutions is characterized by the defect of invariance d. We develop an algorithm leading to partially invariant solutions of quasilinear systems of first-order partial differential equations. We apply the algorithm to the non-linear equations of the two-dimensional non-stationary ideal MHD with a magnetic field perpendicular to the plane of motion.

The present paper deals with a class of non-linear ordinary second-order differential equations with exact solutions. A procedure for finding the general exact solution based on a known particular one is derived. For illustration solutions of some non-linear equations occurred in many problems of solid mechanics are considered.


The differential equations arising in most branches of applied mathematics are linear equations of the second order. Internal ballistics, which is the dynamics of the motion of the shot in a gun, requires, except with the simplest assumptions, the discussion of non-linear differential equations of the first and second orders. The writer has shown in a previous paper* how such non-linear equations arise when the pressure-index a in the rate-of-burning equation differs from unity, although only the simplified case of non-resisted motion was there considered. It is proposed in the present investigation to examine some cases of resisted motion taking the pressure-index equal to unity, to give some extensions of the previous work, and to consider, so far as is possible, the nature and the solution of the types of differential equations which arise.

In the preceding memoirs on the Calculus of Symbols, systems have been constructed for the multiplication and division of non-commutative symbols subject to certain laws of combination; and these systems suffice or linear differential equations. But when we enter upon the consideration of non-linear equations, we see at once that these methods do not apply. It becomes necessary to invent some fresh mode of calculation, and a new notation, in order to bring non-linear functions into a condition which admits of treatment by symbolical algebra. This is the object of the following memoir. Professor Boole has given, in his 'Treatise on Differential Equations,’ a method due to M. Sarrus, by which we ascertain whether a given non-linear function is a complete differential. This method, as will be seen by anyone who will refer to Professor Boole s treatise, is equivalent to finding the conditions that a non-linear function may be externally divisible by the symbol of differentiation. In the following paper I have given a notation by which I obtain the actual expressions for these conditions, and for the symbolical remainders arising in the course of the division, and have extended my investigations to ascertaining the results of the symbolical division of non-linear functions by linear functions of the symbol of differentiation. Let F ( x, y, y 1 , y 2 , y 3 . . . . y n ) be any non-linear function, in which y 1 , y 2 , y 3 . . . . y n denote respectively the first, second, third, . . . . n th differential of y with respect to ( x ).

This article proposes some forms of aerodynamic forces, looks for accurate solutions of core - pendent non-linear differential equations and analyses the characteristics of aerodynamic forces and of equation's solution. Found solutions proves that aerodynamic forces are formed from two elements: element of non-linear and dispersion, that single solutions are usually found and aerodynamic instability easy occurs.

Aim. To develop an effi cient method of building a numerical model for the process of moisture transfer under trickle irrigation, with the mathematical modeling of the method involving the system of differential equations in partial derivatives of Klute-Richards, and to perform computing experiments regarding fl at-vertical profi le moisture transfer with point sources. Methods. The mathematical apparatus of the theory of differential schemes of solving differential equations in partial derivatives, and Newton’s method of iterative approximate solving of non-linear equations. Results. A stable differential two-step symmetrized algorithm (TS-algorithm) along with the corresponding scheme of the method of numerical solution for initially-boundary task for Richards’ equation was created. The method was realized in the form of a computer program in C++ language, the computing experiments were performed with three deeper points, the humidity zones for volume moisture and potential were obtained. Conclusions. The numerical method was suggested, ensuring the effi cient solution to Richards’ non-linear equation in conditions of several deep point sources. The algorithm structure allows reducing the system of non-linear algebraic equations with many unknowns to solving independent non-linear equations with one unknown. The presented method may easily be expanded for three-dimensional cases. The results of computing experiments are in agreement with natural observations.

SynopsisPoincaré, Liapounoff, Perron and others have proved theorems about the order of smallness, as the independent variable tends to + ∞, of solutions of differential equations with non-linear perturbation terms. A similar theory exists for difference equations. By a simple use of transforms, we here extend the theorems, with suitable modifications, to difference-differential equations. The results are an essential step in the development of a general theory of non-linear equations of this type.
