Boundary value problems for two types of degenerate elliptic systems in R^4

Firstly, the Riemann boundary value problem for a kind of degenerate elliptic sys- tem of the first order equations in R4 is proposed. Then, with the help of the one-to-one correspondence between the theory of Clifford valued generalized regular functions and that of the degenerate elliptic system＇s solution, the boundary value problem as stated above is trans- formed into a boundary value problem related to the generalized regular functions in Clifford analysis. Moreover, the solution of the Riemann boundary value problem for the degenerate elliptic system is explicitly described by using a kind of singular integral operator. Finally, the conditions for the existence of solutions of the oblique derivative problem for another kind of degenerate elliptic system of the first order equations in R4 are derived.

An inverse problem to estimate an unknown order of a Riemann-Liouville fractional derivative for a fractional Stokes' first problem for a heated generalized second grade fluid

In this paper,we propose a numerical method to estimate the unknown order of a Riemann-Liouville fractional derivative for a fractional Stokes＇ first problem for a heated generalized second grade fluid.The implicit numerical method is employed to solve the direct problem.For the inverse problem,we first obtain the fractional sensitivity equation by means of the digamma function,and then we propose an efficient numerical method,that is,the Levenberg-Marquardt algorithm based on a fractional derivative,to estimate the unknown order of a Riemann-Liouville fractional derivative.In order to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed numerical method,two cases in which the measurement values contain random measurement error or not are considered.The computational results demonstrate that the proposed numerical method could efficiently obtain the optimal estimation of the unknown order of a RiemannLiouville fractional derivative for a fractional Stokes＇ first problem for a heated generalized second grade fluid.

Oblique derivative problem for general Chaplygin-Rassias equations

The present paper deals with the oblique derivative problem for general second order equations of mixed (elliptic-hyperbolic) type with the nonsmooth parabolic degenerate line $$K_1 (y)u_{xx} + \left| {K_2 (x)} \right|u_{yy} + a(x,y)u_x + b(x,y)u_y + c(x,y)u = - d(x,y)$$ in any plane domain D with the boundary ?D=Γ ∪ L 1 ∪ L 2 ∪ L 3 ∪ L 4, where Γ(? {y > 0}) ∈ C μ 2 (0 < μ < 1) is a curve with the end points z = ?1, 1. L 1, L 2, L 3, L 4 are four characteristics with the slopes ?H 2(x)/H 1(y), H 2(x)/H 1(y),?H 2(x)/H 1(y),H 2(x)/H 1(y) (H 1(y) = √|K 1(y)|, H 2(x) = √|K 2(x)| in {y < 0}) passing through the points z = x + iy = ?1, 0, 0, 1 respectively. And the boundary condition possesses the form $$\frac{1}{2}\frac{{\partial u}}{{\partial \nu }} = \frac{1}{{H(x,y)}}\operatorname{Re} \left[ {\overline {\lambda (z)} u_{\tilde z} } \right] = r(z), z \in \Gamma \cup L_1 \cup L_4 , \operatorname{Im} \left[ {\overline {\lambda (z)} u_{\tilde z} } \right]\left| {_{z = z_l } } \right. = b_l ,l = 1,2, u( - 1) = b_0 ,u(1) = b_3 ,$$ in which z 1, z 2 are the intersection points of L 1, L 2, L 3, L 4 respectively. The above equations can be called the general Chaplygin-Rassias equations, which include the Chaplygin-Rassias equations $$K_1 (y)(M_2 (x)u_x )_x + M_1 (x)(K_2 (y)u_y )_y + r(x,y)u = f(x,y), in D$$ as their special case. The above boundary value problem includes the Tricomi problem of the Chaplygin equation: K(y)u xx+u yy = 0 with the boundary condition u(z) = ?(z) on Γ ∪ L 1 ∪ L 4 as a special case. Firstly some estimates and the existence of solutions of the corresponding boundary value problems for the degenerate elliptic and hyperbolic equations of second order are discussed. Secondly, the solvability of the Tricomi problem, the oblique derivative problem and Frankl problem for the general Chaplygin-Rassias equations are proved. The used method in this paper is different from those in other papers, because the new notations W(z) = W(x + iy) = $u_{\tilde z} $ = [H 1(y)u x ? iH 2(x)u y]/2 in the elliptic domain and W(z) = W(x+jy) = $u_{\tilde z} $ =[H 1(y)u x ? jH 2(x)u y]/2 in the hyperbolic domain are introduced for the first time, such that the second order equations of mixed type can be reduced to the mixed complex equations of first order with singular coefficients. And thirdly, the advantage of complex analytic method is used, otherwise the complex analytic method cannot be applied.

Consider the inverse scattering problem in terms of Helmholtz equation.We study a simply connected domain with oblique derivative boundary condition.In the case of constant l,given a finite number of incident wave,the shape of the scatterer is reconstructed from the measured far-field data.We propose a Newton method which is based on the nonlinear boundary integral equation.After computing the Fr´echet derivatives with respect to the unknown boundary,the nonlinear equation is transformed to its linear form,then we show the iteration scheme for the inverse problem.We conclude our paper by presenting several numerical examples for shape reconstruction to show the validity of the method we presented.
