Superconvergence Analysis of C^(m)Finite Element Methods for Fourth-Order Elliptic Equations I:One Dimensional Case

In this paper,we study three families of C^(m)(m=0,1,2)finite element methods for one dimensional fourth-order equations.They include C^(0)and C1 Galerkin methods and a C^(2)-C^(0)Petrov-Galerkin method.Existence,uniqueness and optimal error estimates of the numerical solution are established.A unified approach is proposed to study the superconvergence property of these methods.We prove that,for kth-order elements,the C^(0)and C1 finite element solutions and their derivative are superconvergent with rate h2k−2(k≥3)at all mesh nodes;while the solution of the C^(2)-C^(0)Petrov-Galerkin method and its first-and second-order derivatives are superconvergent with rate h^(2k−4)(k≥5)at all mesh nodes.Furthermore,interior superconvergence points for the l-th(0≤l≤m+1)derivate approximations are also discovered,which are identified as roots of special Jacobi polynomials,Lobatto points,and Gauss points.As a by-product,we prove that the C^(m)finite element solution is superconvergent towards a particular Jacobi projection of the exact solution in the Hl(0≤l≤m+1)norms.All theoretical findings are confirmed by numerical experiments.

Finally, by means of the energy estimates we obtain the bound of the remainder of the asymptotic solution.

Existence of Infinitely Many High Energy Solutions for a Fourth-Order Kirchhoff Type Elliptic Equation in R³

In this paper, we consider the following fourth-order equation of Kirchhoff type where a, b > 0 are constants, 3 < p < 5, V ∈ C (R3, R);Δ2: = Δ (Δ) is the biharmonic operator. By using Symmetric Mountain Pass Theorem and variational methods, we prove that the above equation admits infinitely many high energy solutions under some sufficient assumptions on V (x). We make some assumptions on the potential V (x) to solve the difficulty of lack of compactness of the Sobolev embedding. Our results improve some related results in the literature.

The Regularity of Solutions to Mixed Boundary Value Problems of Second-Order Elliptic Equations with Small Angles

This paper considers the regularity of solutions to mixed boundary value problems in small-angle regions for elliptic equations. By constructing a specific barrier function, we proved that under the assumption of sufficient regularity of boundary conditions and coefficients, as long as the angle is sufficiently small, the regularity of the solution to the mixed boundary value problem of the second-order elliptic equation can reach any order.

Besov Estimates for Sub-Elliptic Equations in the Heisenberg Group

In this article, we deal with weak solutions to non-degenerate sub-elliptic equations in the Heisenberg group, and study the regularities of solutions. We establish horizontal Calderón-Zygmund type estimate in Besov spaces with more general assumptions on coefficients for both homogeneous equations and non-homogeneous equations. This study of regularity estimates expands the Calderón-Zygmund theory in the Heisenberg group.

Domain-based noise removal method using fourth-order partial differential equation

Due to the fact that the fourth-order partial differential equation （PDE） for noise removal can provide a good trade-off between noise removal and edge preservation and avoid blocky effects often caused by the second-order PDE, a domain-based fourth-order PDE method for noise removal is proposed. First, the proposed method segments the image domain into two domains, a speckle domain and a non-speckle domain, based on the statistical properties of isolated speckles in the Laplacian domain. Then, depending on the domain type, different conductance coefficients in the proposed fourth-order PDE are adopted. Moreover, the frequency approach is used to determine the optimum iteration stopping time. Compared with the existing fourth-order PDEs, the proposed fourth-order PDE can remove isolated speckles and keeps the edges from being blurred. Experimental results show the effectiveness of the proposed method.

Construction of doubly-periodic solutions to nonlinear partial differential equations using improved Jacobi elliptic function expansion method and symbolic computation

Some doubly-periodic solutions of the Zakharov-Kuznetsov equation are presented. Our approach is to introduce an auxiliary ordinary differential equation and use its Jacobi elliptic function solutions to construct doubly-periodic solutions of the Zakharov-Kuznetsov equation, which has been derived by Gottwald as a two-dimensional model for nonlinear Rossby waves. When the modulus k →1, these solutions reduce to the solitary wave solutions of the equation.

This shows that our method is more powerful to construct more exact Jacobian ellipticfunction solutions and can be applied to other nonlinear differential equations.
