Highly efficient H^1-Galerkin mixed finite element method (MFEM) for parabolic integro-differential equation

A highly efficient H1-Galerkin mixed finite element method （MFEM） is presented with linear triangular element for the parabolic integro-differential equation. Firstly, some new results about the integral estimation and asymptotic expansions are studied. Then, the superconvergence of order O（h^2） for both the original variable u in H1 （Ω） norm and the flux p = u in H（div, Ω） norm is derived through the interpolation post processing technique. Furthermore, with the help of the asymptotic expansions and a suitable auxiliary problem, the extrapolation solutions with accuracy O（h^3） are obtained for the above two variables. Finally, some numerical results are provided to confirm validity of the theoretical analysis and excellent performance of the proposed method.

Let G =（V, E） be a locally finite connected weighted graph, and ？ be the usual graph Laplacian. In this article, we study blow-up problems for the nonlinear parabolic equation ut = ？u ＋ f（u） on G. The blow-up phenomenons for ut = ？u ＋ f（u） are discussed in terms of two cases：（i） an initial condition is given;（ii） a Dirichlet boundary condition is given. We prove that if f satisfies appropriate conditions, then the corresponding solutions will blow up in a finite time.

New method to solve electromagnetic parabolic equation

This paper puts forward a new method to solve the electromagnetic parabolic equation （EMPE） by taking the vertically-layered inhomogeneous characteristics of the atmospheric refractive index into account. First, the Fourier transform and the convo- lution theorem are employed, and the second-order partial differential equation, i.e., the EMPE, in the height space is transformed into first-order constant coefficient differential equations in the frequency space. Then, by use of the lower triangular characteristics of the coefficient matrix, the numerical solutions are designed. Through constructing ana- lytical solutions to the EMPE, the feasibility of the new method is validated. Finally, the numerical solutions to the new method are compared with those of the commonly used split-step Fourier algorithm.
