A RIEMANN-HILBERT APPROACH TO THE INITIAL-BOUNDARY PROBLEM FOR DERIVATIVE NONLINEAR SCHRDINGER EQUATION

We use the Fokas method to analyze the derivative nonlinear Schrodinger （DNLS） equation iqt （x, t） = -qxx （x, t）＋（rq^2）x on the interval [0, L]. Assuming that the solution q（x, t） exists, we show that it can be represented in terms of the solution of a matrix Riemann- Hilbert problem formulated in the plane of the complex spectral parameter ξ. This problem has explicit （x, t） dependence, and it has jumps across {ξ∈C｜Imξ^4 = 0}. The relevant jump matrices are explicitely given in terms of the spectral functions {a（ξ）, b（ξ）}, {A（ξ）, B（ξ）}, and {A（ξ）, B（ξ）}, which in turn are defined in terms of the initial data q0（x） = q（x, 0）, the bound- ary data g0（t）= q（0, t）, g1（t） = qx（0, t）, and another boundary values f0（t） = q（L, t）, f1（t） = qx（L, t）. The spectral functions are not independent, but related by a compatibility condition, the so-called global relation.

EXISTENCE TIME OF SOLUTION OF THE (1+2)D KNOBLOCH EQUATION WITH INITIAL-BOUNDARY VALUE PROBLEM

The equation of pattern formation induced by buoyancy or by surface-tension gradient in finite systems confined between horizontal poor heat conductors is introduced by Knobloch[1990] where u is the planform function, μ is the scaled Rayleigh number, K = 1 and α represents the effects of a heat transfer finite Blot number. The cofficients β, δ and γ do not vanish when the boundary, conditions at top and bottom are not identical (β / 0, δ / 0) or nonBoussinesq effects are taked into account (γ / 0). In this paper, the Knobloch equation with α > 0 is considered, the global existence in L2-space and the finite existence time of solution in V2-space have been obtained respectively.

Initial-boundary value problem of nonlinear hyperbolic system for conservation laws with delta-shock waves

For a nonlinear hyperbolic system of conservation laws, the initial-boundary value problem is concerned with the boundary conditions. A boundary entropy condition is derived based on Dubois F and Le Floch P＇s results by taking a suitable entropy-flux pair （Journal of Differential Equations, 1988, 71（1）： 93-122）. The solutions of the initial-boundary value problem for the system are constructively obtained, in which initial-boundary data are in piecewise constant states. The delta-shock waves appear in their solutions.

EXISTENCE AND NONEXISTENCE OF GLOBAL SOLUTIONS OF THE INITIAL-BOUNDARY VALUE PROBLEM FOR SOME DEGENERATE HYPERBOLIC EQUATION

The author considers the global existence and global nonexistence of the initial-boundary value problem for some degenerate hyperbolic equation of the form utt- div（｜△↓｜^P-2 △↓u）=｜u｜^m u, （x,t）∈[0, ＋∞） ×Ω with p 〉 2 and m 〉 0. He deals with the global solutions by D.H.Sattinger＇s potential well ideas. At the same time, when the initial energy is positive, but appropriately bounded, the global nonexistence of solutions is verified by using the analysis method.

Numerical Treatment of Initial-Boundary Value Problems with Mixed Boundary Conditions

In this paper, we extend the reliable modification of the Adomian Decom-position Method coupled to the Lesnic’s approach to solve boundary value problems and initial boundary value problems with mixed boundary conditions for linear and nonlinear partial differential equations. The method is applied to different forms of heat and wave equations as illustrative examples to exhibit the effectiveness of the method. The method provides the solution in a rapidly convergent series with components that can be computed iteratively. The numerical results for the illustrative examples obtained show remarkable agreement with the exact solutions. We also provide some graphical representations for clear-cut comparisons between the solutions using Maple software.

Well-posedness of the time-varying linear electromagnetic initial-boundary value proble

The well-posedness of the initial-boundary value problem of the time-varying linear electromagnetic field in a multi-medium region is investigated. Function spaces are defined, with Faraday＇s law of electromagnetic induction and the initial-boundary conditions considered as constraints. Gauss＇s formula applied to a multi-medium region is used to derive the energy-estimating inequality. After converting the initial-boundary conditions into homogeneous ones and analysing the characteristics of an operator introduced according to the total current law, the existence, uniqueness and stability of the weak solution to the initial-boundary value problem of the time-varying linear electromagnetic field are proved.

Construction of Global Weak Entropy Solution of Initial-Boundary Value Problem for Scalar Conservation Laws with Weak Discontinuous Flux

This paper is concerned with the initial-boundary value problem of scalar conservation laws with weak discontinuous flux, whose initial data are a function with two pieces of constant and whose boundary data are a constant function. Under the condition that the flux function has a finite number of weak discontinuous points, by using the structure of weak entropy solution of the corresponding initial value problem and the boundary entropy condition developed by Bardos-Leroux-Nedelec, we give a construction method to the global weak entropy solution for this initial-boundary value problem, and by investigating the interaction of elementary waves and the boundary, we clarify the geometric structure and the behavior of boundary for the weak entropy solution.
