The well-posedness of a nonlocal hyperbolic model for type-I superconductors

Abstract

A vectorial nonlocal linear hyperbolic problem with applications in superconductors of type-I is studied. The nonlocal term is represented by a (space) convolution with a singular kernel, which is arising in Eringen's model. The well-posedness of the problem is discussed under low regularity assumptions and the error estimates for two time-discrete schemes (based on backward Euler approximation) are established.
