Applying the fuzzy homotopy analysis method to solve fuzzy initial value problems with variable coefficients

In this study, we applied the fuzzy homotopy analysis method to find an approximate but analytical solution to initial value problems that have fuzzy variable coefficients. These coefficients were represented by triangular fuzzy functions. This approach lets us solve the fuzzy differential equations as an endless series of fuzzy numbers, where each fuzzy component can be determined without much difficulty. Based on the numerical data we analyzed, the series solutions we arrived at are both precise and closely match the exact analytical solutions for fuzzy problems.

When do waves drive plasma flows?

Flows and rotation, particularly E×B rotation, are critical to improving plasma performance, and waves are a primary tool of plasma control. Thus, it is paramount to understand under what conditions waves can drive E×B flows in plasmas. In this didactic review, an invited paper accompanying the 2023 Marshall N. Rosenbluth Doctoral Thesis Award, this question is answered in the context of momentum-conserving quasilinear theory. There are two primary frameworks for momentum-conserving quasilinear theories that can handle both resonant and nonresonant particles: Eulerian averaging theories and oscillation-center Hamiltonian theories. There are also two different paradigmatic wave problems: plane-wave initial value problems, and steady-state boundary value problems. Here, it is shown that each of these frameworks “naturally” works better with a different problem type. By using these theories, one finds a great difference in the behavior of time- vs space-dependent waves. A time-evolving plane wave can only drive flow if the electromagnetic momentum of the wave, given by the Poynting flux, changes. This result precludes flow drive by any planar electrostatic wave. In contrast, a steady-state spatially evolving wave can drive flow whenever there is divergence in the flux of Minkowski momentum, a completely different physical quantity. This review aims to provide a high-level, intuitive understanding of the very different behaviors observed for these two types of problem.

Coupled Axisymmetric Thermoelectroelasticity Problem for a Round Rigidly Fixed Plate

Introduction. To describe the operation of temperature piezoceramic structures, the theory of thermoelectroelasticity is used, in which the mathematical model is formulated as a system of nonself-adjoint differential equations. The complexity of its integration in general leads to the study of problems in an unrelated formulation. This does not allow us to evaluate the effect of electroelastic fields on temperature. The literature does not present studies on these problems in a three-dimensional coupled formulation in which closed solutions would be constructed. At the same time, conducting such studies allows us to understand the interaction picture of mechanical, thermal and electric fields in a structure. To solve this problem, a new closed solution of a coupled problem for a piezoceramic round rigidly fixed plate has been constructed in this research. It provides for qualitative assessment of the cross impact of thermoelectroelastic fields in this electroelastic system.Materials and Methods. The object of the study is a piezoceramic plate. The case of unsteady temperature change on its upper front surface is considered, taking into account the convection heat exchange of the lower plane with the environment (boundary conditions of the 1st and 3rd kind). The electric field induced as a result of the thermal strain generation is fixed by connecting the electrodated surfaces to the measuring device. The thermoelectroelasticity problem includes the equations of equilibrium, electrostatics, and the unsteady hyperbolic heat equation. It is solved by the generalized method of finite biorthogonal transformation, which makes it possible to construct a closed solution of a nonself-adjoint system of equations.Results. A new closed solution of the coupled axisymmetric thermoelectroelasticity problem for a round plate made of piezoceramic material was constructed.Discussion and Conclusion. The obtained solution to the initial boundary value problem made it possible to determine the temperature, electric and elastic fields induced in a piezoceramic element under arbitrary temperature axisymmetric external action. The calculations performed provided determining the dimensions of solid electrodes, which made it possible to increase the functionality of piezoceramic transducers. Numerical analysis of the results enabled us to identify new connections between the nature of external temperature action, the deformation process, and the value of the electric field in a piezoceramic structure. This can validate a proper program of experiments under their designing and significantly reduce the volume of field studies.

Problem for differential-algebraic equations with a significant loads

In this article, the problem for a differential-algebraic equation with a significant loads is studied. Unlike previously studied problems for differential equations with a significant loads, in the considered equation, there is a matrix in the left part with a derivative that is not invertible. Therefore, the system of equations includes both differential and algebraic equations. To solve the problem, we propose a modification of the Dzhumabaev’s parametrization method. The considered problem is reduced to a parametric problem for the differential-algebraic equation with significant loads. We apply the Weierstrass canonical form to this problem. We obtain parametric initial value problem for a differential equations and an algebraic equations with a significant loads. The solvability conditions for the considered problem are established.

Radius evolution for the synchronous collapse of a circular vapor bubble cluster

The radius evolution for the synchronous collapse motion of a circular vapor bubble cluster in an ideal and infinite fluid is studied. With the assumption that all bubbles are evenly distributed around the circumference and have the same initial conditions, we establish the associated governing equation for this case from a modified Rayleigh–Plesset equation. The inverted analytical solution in the form of t=t(r) and analytical approximations in the form of r=r(t) for the radius evolution to the initial value problem of the dimensionless governing equation are derived. These novel analytical approximations extend the previous ones for a single bubble by adding the effects of surface tension and multiple bubbles. In addition, we point out that the analytical results and dynamic behaviors for multiple bubbles will degenerate into the corresponding ones for single bubbles when the radius of the bubble cluster approaches to infinity.

Existence of Solutions for the Initial Value Problem with Hadamard Fractional Derivatives in Locally Convex Spaces

In this paper, we investigate an initial value problem for a nonlinear fractional differential equation on an infinite interval. The differential operator is taken in the Hadamard sense and the nonlinear term involves two lower-order fractional derivatives of the unknown function. In order to establish the global existence criteria, we first verify that there exists a unique positive solution to an integral equation based on a class of new integral inequality. Next, we construct a locally convex space, which is metrizable and complete. On this space, applying Schäuder’s fixed point theorem, we obtain the existence of at least one solution to the initial value problem.

COMPOSITIONS OF FRACTIONAL DERIVATIVES AS DZHRBASHYAN - NERSESYAN DERIVATIVE

The issues of unique solvability for a special initial value problem to two classes of a linear inhomogeneous equation with a derivative of Dzhrbashyan - Nersesyan are investigated. In one of the classes, the operator at the unknown function is bounded, in the other it is sectorial. The representation of the composition of any number of Gerasimov - Caputo and/or Riemann - Liouville differential operators in the form of a Dzhrbashyan - Nersesyan derivative is also proved.

Efficient Numerical Solutions for Fuzzy Time Fractional Convection Diffusion Equations Using Two Explicit Finite Difference Methods

In this study, we explore fractional partial differential equations as a more generalized version of classical partial differential equations. These fractional equations have shown promise in providing improved descriptions of certain phenomena under specific circumstances. The main focus of this paper comprises the development, analysis, and application of two explicit finite difference schemes to solve an initial boundary value problem involving a fuzzy time fractional convection–diffusion equation with a fractional order in the range of 0≤ ξ ≤ 1. The uniqueness of this problem lies in its consideration of fuzziness within both the initial and boundary conditions. To handle the uncertainty, we propose a computational mechanism based on the double parametric form of fuzzy numbers, effectively converting the problem from an uncertain format to a crisp one. To assess the stability of our proposed schemes, we employ the von Neumann method and find that they demonstrate unconditional stability. To illustrate the feasibility and practicality of our approach, we apply the developed scheme to a specific example.

On the Solvability of a Singular Time Fractional Parabolic Equation with Non Classical Boundary Conditions

This paper deals with a singular two dimensional initial boundary value problem for a Caputo time fractional parabolic equation supplemented by Neumann and non-local boundary conditions. The well posedness of the posed problem is demonstrated in a fractional weighted Sobolev space. The used method based on some functional analysis tools has been successfully showed its efficiency in proving the existence, uniqueness and continuous dependence of the solution upon the given data of the considered problem. More precisely, for proving the uniqueness of the solution of the posed problem, we established an energy inequality for the solution from which we deduce the uniqueness. For the existence, we proved that the range of the operator generated by the considered problem is dense.

Reconstruction of an initial function from the solutions of the fractional wave equation on the light cone trace

We reconstruct the initial functions from the trace of the solution of an initial value problem for the wave equation on the light cone. A method to recover the initial function from the solution of the wave equation on the light cone is already known for odd spatial dimensions. We generalize their work to the fractional wave equation and all dimensions. In other words, we present a method to reconstruct the initial functions from the solution of the fractional wave equation on the light cone.

On the stochastic elliptic equations involving fractional derivative

Abstract This study is focused on finding the solution to the initial value problem for the fractional elliptic equations driven by the Wiener process. First, with some strong conditions on the input data, we establish the regularity of the solution. With relaxed conditions of the input data function, our forward problem is ill-posed in the sense of Hadamard. For this ill-posed problem, the truncation method is used to construct a regularized solution. Under prior assumptions for the exact solution, the convergence rate is obtained.

A Chebyshev polynomial based block integrator for the direct numerical solution of fourth order ordinary differential equations

This paper introduces an innovative method for numerically integrating fourth-order initial value problems by utilizing Chebyshev polynomials as the fundamental basis function. The block integrator base on Chebyshev polynomial demonstrates significant improvements in accuracy and stability, rendering it a valuable tool across various scientific and engineering fields. By leveraging the characteristics of Chebyshev polynomials, this approach accurately estimates solutions for fourth-order differential equations without reducing it to a system of first order Ordinary Differential Equations while at the same time effectively managing error accumulation within a block integration framework and thereby enhancing its accuracy over extended intervals. Through rigorous numerical experiments, the effectiveness and reliability of the new integrator are demonstrated and compared with existing methods. The new method is consistent, zero stable and convergent. The method also shows an appreciable error constants. The new method performed better in terms of accuracy than the existing methods in the literature in both linear and nonlinear problems.

Gradient estimates for mixed local and nonlocal parabolic problems with measure data

We obtain a nonlinear Calderón-Zygmund type estimate for the spatial gradient of SOLA (solutions obtained as limits of approximations) to a mixed local and nonlocal parabolic problem involving measure data. Specifically, we consider a non-homogeneous problem with a source term as a Radon measure, where the leading nonlinear local operator has linear growth and the nonlinearity is allowed to be merely measurable. Moreover, the nonlocal operator is of the type fractional Laplacian with only measurable kernel coefficients. Under some smallness assumption on the local operator, we prove that the gradient of SOLA has the same integrability as that of a fractional maximal function of order 1 of the Radon measure. The proof relies on the use of a new type of maximal functions and novel parabolic tail estimates, which to the best of our knowledge, have not been observed in the previous works. Furthermore, to complement the aforementioned gradient estimates, we prove the existence of SOLA to an initial value problem and derive some gradient estimates with respect to the L1-norm.

IVP-VAE: Modeling EHR Time Series with Initial Value Problem Solvers

Continuous-time models such as Neural ODEs and Neural Flows have shown promising results in analyzing irregularly sampled time series frequently encountered in electronic health records. Based on these models, time series are typically processed with a hybrid of an initial value problem (IVP) solver and a recurrent neural network within the variational autoencoder architecture. Sequentially solving IVPs makes such models computationally less efficient. In this paper, we propose to model time series purely with continuous processes whose state evolution can be approximated directly by IVPs. This eliminates the need for recurrent computation and enables multiple states to evolve in parallel. We further fuse the encoder and decoder with one IVP solver utilizing its invertibility, which leads to fewer parameters and faster convergence. Experiments on three real-world datasets show that the proposed method can systematically outperform its predecessors, achieve state-of-the-art results, and have significant advantages in terms of data efficiency.
