DECAY ESTIMATES OF PLANAR STATIONARY WAVES FOR DAMED WAVE EQUATIONS WITH NONLINEAR CONVECTION IN MULTI-DIMENSIONAL HALF SPACE

This paper is concerned with the initial-boundary value problem for damped wave equations with a nonlinear convection term in the multi-dimensional half space R n ＋ ： u tt u ＋ u t ＋ divf （u） = 0, t 〉 0, x = （x 1 , x ′ ） ∈ R n ＋ ：= R ＋ × R n 1 , u（0, x） = u 0 （x） → u ＋ , as x 1 → ＋ ∞ , u t （0, x） = u 1 （x）, u（t, 0, x ′ ） = u b , x ′ = （x 2 , x 3 , ··· , x n ） ∈ R n 1 . （I） For the non-degenerate case f ′ 1 （u ＋ ） 〈 0, it was shown in [10] that the above initialboundary value problem （I） admits a unique global solution u（t, x） which converges to the corresponding planar stationary wave φ（x 1 ） uniformly in x 1 ∈ R ＋ as time tends to infinity provided that the initial perturbation and/or the strength of the stationary wave are sufficiently small. And in [10] Ueda, Nakamura, and Kawashima proved the algebraic decay estimates of the tangential derivatives of the solution u（t, x） for t → ＋ ∞ by using the space-time weighted energy method initiated by Kawashima and Matsumura [5] and improved by Nishihkawa [7]. Moreover, by using the same weighted energy method, an additional algebraic convergence rate in the normal direction was obtained by assuming that the initial perturbation decays algebraically. We note, however, that the analysis in [10] relies heavily on the assumption that f ′ （u） 〈 0. The main purpose of this paper isdevoted to discussing the case of f ′ 1 （u b ） ≥ 0 and we show that similar results still hold for such a case. Our analysis is based on some delicate energy estimates.

A Finite Difference Scheme for Blow-Up Solutions of Nonlinear Wave Equations

We consider a finite difference scheme for a nonlinear wave equation, whose solutions may lose their smoothness in finite time, i.e., blow up in finite time. In order to numerically reproduce blow-up solutions, we propose a rule for a time-stepping,which is a variant of what was successfully used in the case of nonlinear parabolic equations. A numerical blow-up time is defined and is proved to converge, under a certain hypothesis, to the real blow-up time as the grid size tends to zero.

We also prove the existence and uniqueness of semi-discrete solution. Finally, we obtain some numerical results to illustrate the efficiency of the method.

Shape analysis and damped oscillatory solutions for a class of nonlinear wave equation with quintic term

This paper aims at analyzing the shapes of the bounded traveling wave solu- tions for a class of nonlinear wave equation with a quintic term and obtaining its damped oscillatory solutions. The theory and method of planar dynamical systems are used to make a qualitative analysis to the planar dynamical system which the bounded traveling wave solutions of this equation correspond to. The shapes, existent number, and condi- tions are presented for all bounded traveling wave solutions. The bounded traveling wave solutions are obtained by the undetermined coefficients method according to their shapes, including exact expressions of bell and kink profile solitary wave solutions and approxi- mate expressions of damped oscillatory solutions. For the approximate damped oscillatory solution, using the homogenization principle, its error estimate is given by establishing the integral equation, which reflects the relation between the exact and approximate so- lutions. It can be seen that the error is infinitesimal decreasing in the exponential form.

Two Energy-Preserving Compact Finite Difference Schemes for the Nonlinear Fourth-Order Wave Equation

In this paper,two fourth-order compact finite difference schemes are derived to solve the nonlinear fourth-order wave equation which can be viewed as a generalized model from the nonlinear beam equation.Differing from the existing compact finite difference schemes which preserve the total energy in a recursive sense,the new schemes are proved to per-fectly preserve the total energy in the discrete sense.By using the standard energy method and the cut-off function technique,the optimal error estimates of the numerical solutions are established,and the convergence rates are of O(h^(4)+τ^(2))with mesh-size h and time-step τ.In order to improve the computational efficiency,an iterative algorithm is proposed as the outer solver and the double sweep method for pentadiagonal linear algebraic equations is introduced as the inner solver to solve the nonlinear difference schemes at each time step.The convergence of the iterative algorithm is also rigorously analyzed.Several numerical results are carried out to test the error estimates and conservative properties.
