New Asymptotical Stability and Uniformly Asymptotical Stability Theorems for Nonautonomous Difference Equations

New theorems of asymptotical stability and uniformly asymptotical stability for nonautonomous difference equations are given in this paper. The classical Liapunov asymptotical stability theorem of nonautonomous difference equations relies on the existence of a positive definite Liapunov function that has an indefinitely small upper bound and whose variation along a given nonautonomous difference equations is negative definite. In this paper, we consider the case that the Liapunov function is only positive definite and its variation is semi-negative definite. At these weaker conditions, we put forward a new asymptotical stability theorem of nonautonomous difference equations by adding to extra conditions on the variation. After that, in addition to the hypotheses of our new asymptotical stability theorem, we obtain a new uniformly asymptotical stability theorem of nonautonomous difference equations provided that the Liapunov function has an indefinitely small upper bound. Example is given to verify our results in the last.

A new finite difference scheme for a dissipative cubic nonlinear Schrdinger equation

This paper considers the one-dimensional dissipative cubic nonlinear SchrSdinger equation with zero Dirichlet boundary conditions on a bounded domain. The equation is discretized in time by a linear implicit three-level central difference scheme, which has analogous discrete conservation laws of charge and energy. The convergence with two orders and the stability of the scheme are analysed using a priori estimates. Numerical tests show that the three-level scheme is more efficient.

Compact Difference Method for Time-Fractional Neutral Delay Nonlinear Fourth-Order Equation

In this paper, we present a compact finite difference method for a class of fourth-order nonlinear neutral delay sub-diffusion equations in two-dimensional space. The fourth-order problem is first transformed into a second-order system by a reduced-order method. Next by using compact operator to approximate the second order space derivatives and L2-1σ formula to approximate the time fractional derivative, the difference scheme which is fourth order in space and second order in time is obtained. Then, the existence and uniqueness of solution, the convergence rate of and the stability of the scheme are proved. Finally, numerical results are given to verify the accuracy and validity of the scheme.

Second-order difference scheme for a nonlinear model of wood drying process

A numerical simulation for a model of wood drying process is considered. The model is given by a couple of nonlinear differential equations. One is a nonlinear parabolic equation and the other one is a nonlinear ordinary equation. A difference scheme is derived by the method of reduction of order. First, a new variable is introduced and the original problem is rewritten into a system of the first-order differential equations. Secondly, a difference scheme is constructed for the later problem. The solvability, stability and convergence of the difference scheme are proved by the energy method. The convergence order of the difference scheme is secondorder both in time and in space. A prior error estimate is put forward. The new variable is put aside to reduce the computational cost. A numerical example testifies the theoretical result.

In this paper,we present a linearized compact difference scheme for onedimensional time-space fractional nonlinear diffusion-wave equations with initial boundary value conditions.The initial singularity of the solution is considered,which often generates a singular source and increases the difficulty of numerically solving the equation.The Crank-Nicolson technique,combined with the midpoint formula and the second-order convolution quadrature formula,is used for the time discretization.To increase the spatial accuracy,a fourth-order compact difference approximation,which is constructed by two compact difference operators,is adopted for spatial discretization.Then,the unconditional stability and convergence of the proposed scheme are strictly established with superlinear convergence accuracy in time and fourth-order accuracy in space.Finally,numerical experiments are given to support our theoretical results.

A Compact Difference Scheme on Graded Meshes for the Nonlinear Fractional Integro-differential Equation with Non-smooth Solutions

In this paper,a compact finite difference scheme for the nonlinear fractional integro-differential equation with weak singularity at the initial time is developed,with O(N^(-(2-α))+M^(-4))accuracy order,where N;M denote the numbers of grids in temporal and spatial direction,α ∈(0,1)is the fractional order.To recover the full accuracy based on the regularity requirement of the solution,we adopt the L1 method and the trapezoidal product integration(PI)rule with graded meshes to discretize the Caputo derivative and the Riemann-Liouville integral,respectively,further handle the nonlinear term carefully by the Newton linearized method.Based on the discrete fractional Gr¨onwall inequality and preserved discrete coefficients of Riemann-Liouville fractional integral,the stability and convergence of the proposed scheme are analyzed by the energy method.Theoretical results are also confirmed by a numerical example.
