Efficient asymptotics of solutions to the Cauchy problem with localized initial data for linear systems of differential and pseudodifferential equations

We say that the initial data in the Cauchy problem are localized if they are given by functions concentrated in a neighbourhood of a submanifold of positive codimension, and the size of this neighbourhood depends on a small parameter and tends to zero together with the parameter. Although the solutions of linear differential and pseudodifferential equations with localized initial data constitute a relatively narrow subclass of the set of all solutions, they are very important from the point of view of physical applications. Such solutions, which arise in many branches of mathematical physics, describe the propagation of perturbations of various natural phenomena (tsunami waves caused by an underwater earthquake, electromagnetic waves emitted by antennas, etc.), and there is extensive literature devoted to such solutions (including the study of their asymptotic behaviour). It is natural to say that an asymptotics is efficient when it makes it possible to examine the problem quickly enough with relatively few computations. The notion of efficiency depends on the available computational tools and has changed significantly with the advent of Wolfram Mathematica, Matlab, and similar computing systems, which provide fundamentally new possibilities for the operational implementation and visualization of mathematical constructions, but which also impose new requirements on the construction of the asymptotics. We give an overview of modern methods for constructing efficient asymptotics in problems with localized initial data. The class of equations and systems under consideration includes the Schrödinger and Dirac equations, the Maxwell equations, the linearized gasdynamic and hydrodynamic equations, the equations of the linear theory of surface water waves, the equations of the theory of elasticity, the acoustic equations, and so on.

Partial parabolicity of the boundary-value problem for pseudodifferential equations in a layer

A nonlocal boundary-value problem for evolutional pseudodifferential equations in an infinite layer is considered in this paper. The notion of the partially parabolic boundary-value problem is introduced when a solving function decreases exponentially only by the part of space variables. This concept generalizes the concept of a parabolic boundary value problem, which was previously studied by one of the authors of this paper (A. A. Makarov). Necessary and sufficient conditions for the pseudodifferential operator symbol are obtained in which partially parabolic boundary-value problems exist. It turned out that the real part of the symbol of a pseudodifferential operator should increase unboundedly powerfully in some of the spatial variables. In this case, a specific type of boundary conditions is indicated, which depend on a pseudodifferential equation and are also pseudodifferential operators. It is shown that for solutions of partially parabolic boundary-value problems, smoothness in some of the spatial variables increases. The disturbed (excitated) pseudodifferential equation with a symbol which depends on space and temporal variables is also investigated. It has been found for partially parabolic boundary-value problems what pseudodifferential operators are possible to be disturbed in the way that the input equation of this boundary-value problem would remain correct in Sobolev-Slobodetsky spaces. It is also shown that although the properties of increasing the smoothness of solutions in part of the variables for partially parabolic boundary value problems are similar to the property of solutions of partially hypoelliptic equations introduced by L. H\"{o}rmander, these examples show that the partial parabolic boundary value problem does not follow from partial hipoellipticity; and vice versa - an example of a partially parabolic boundary value problem for a differential equation that is not partially hypoelliptic is given.
