Analysis of PDEs (math.AP)

Abstract: In this work, the nonlinear steepest descent method is employed to study the long-time asymptotics of the integrable nonlocal Lakshmanan-Porsezian-Daniel (LPD) equation with a step-like initial data: $q_{0}(x)\rightarrow0$ as $x\rightarrow-\infty$ and $q_{0}(x)\rightarrow A$ as $x\rightarrow+\infty$, where $A$ is an arbitrary positive constant. Firstly, we develop a matrix Riemann-Hilbert (RH) problem to represent the Cauchy problem of LPD equation. To remove the influence of singularities in this RH problem, we introduce the Blaschke-Potapov (BP) factor, then the original RH problem can be transformed into a regular RH problem which can be solved by the parabolic cylinder functions. Besides, under the nonlocal condition with symmetries $x\rightarrow-x$ and $t\rightarrow t$, we give the asymptotic analyses at $x>0$ and $x<0$, respectively. Finally, we derive the long-time asymptotics of the solution $q(x,t)$ corresponding to the complex case of three stationary phase points generated by phase function.

Abstract: In this paper, we introduce a non-local PDE-ODE traffic model devoted to the description of a 1-to-1 junction with buffer. We present a numerical method to approximate solutions and show a maximum principle which is uniform in the non-local interaction range. Further, we exploit the limit models as the support of the kernel tends to zero and to infinity. We compare them with other already existing models for traffic and production flow and present numerical examples.

Abstract: We consider a space of $L^2$ vector fields with bounded mean oscillation whose ``normal'' component to the boundary is well-controlled. In the case when the dimension $n \geq 3$, we establish its Helmholtz decomposition for arbitrary uniformly $C^3$ domain in $\mathbf{R}^n$.

Abstract: The KP-II equation was derived by Kadomtsev and Petviashvili to explain stability of line solitary waves of shallow water. Using the Darboux transformations, we study linear stability of 2-line solitons whose line solitons interact elastically each other. Time evolution of resonant continuous eigenfunctions is described by a damped wave equation in the transverse variable which is supposed to be a linear approximation of the local phase shifts of modulating line solitons.

Abstract: We show that the far--field pattern of a scattered electromagnetic field corresponding to a single incoming plane--wave uniquely determines a bounded supraconductive planar screen. This generalises a previous scalar result of Bl\aa sten, P\"aiv\"arinta and Sadique.
