Quantum algorithm for time-dependent differential equations using Dyson series

Time-dependent linear differential equations are a common type of problem that needs to be solved in classical physics. Here we provide a quantum algorithm for solving time-dependent linear differential equations with logarithmic dependence of the complexity on the error and derivative. As usual, there is an exponential improvement over classical approaches in the scaling of the complexity with the dimension, with the caveat that the solution is encoded in the amplitudes of a quantum state. Our method is to encode the Dyson series in a system of linear equations, then solve via the optimal quantum linear equation solver. Our method also provides a simplified approach in the case of time-independent differential equations.

Analytical method for solving linear abstract differential equations of order [formula omitted]

In this paper, the concept of point-wise independent set of closed operators is introduced. The new concept together with the use of Hahn-Banach Theorem enable us to reduce an inhomogeneous linear abstract differential equation of order n namely, Anu(n)(t)+An−1u(n−1)(t)+⋯+A1u′(t)+A∘u(t)=f(t), into an inhomogeneous linear ordinary differential equation with constant coefficients of order n. The involved operators in the main abstract equation are assumed to be colsed and linear on a given Banach space while the unknown function is assumed to be n-times differentiable.

Deflection of light by a Reissner–Nordström black hole and Painlevé VI equation

We consider the bending angle of the trajectory of a photon incident from and deflected to infinity around a Reissner–Nordström black hole. We treat the bending angle as a function of the squared reciprocal of the impact parameter and the squared electric charge of the background normalized by the mass of the black hole. It is shown that the bending angle satisfies a system of two inhomogeneous linear partial differential equations with polynomial coefficients. This system can be understood as an isomonodromic deformation of the inhomogeneous Picard–Fuchs equation satisfied by the bending angle in the Schwarzschild spacetime, where the deformation parameter is identified as the background electric charge. Furthermore, the integrability condition for these equations is found to be a specific type of the Painlevé VI equation that allows an algebraic solution. We solve the differential equations both at the weak and strong deflection limits. In the weak deflection limit, the bending angle is expressed as a power series expansion in terms of the squared reciprocal of the impact parameter and we obtain the explicit full-order expression for the coefficients. In the strong deflection limit, we obtain the asymptotic form of the bending angle that consists of the divergent logarithmic term and the finite O(1) term supplemented by linear recurrence relations which enable us to straightforwardly derive higher order coefficients. In deriving these results, the isomonodromic property of the differential equations plays an important role. Lastly, we briefly discuss the applicability of our method to other types of spacetimes such as a spinning black hole.

Z-transform Solution for Partial Difference Equations

The aim of this research is to study the Z transformation to solve linear partial difference equations. This is due to the fact that linear partial difference equations cannot be solved directly using the Z transformation, and the research concluded that direct partial difference conditions cannot be treated directly by the Z transformation except after converting the partial difference equations to linear difference equations using one of the transformation methods. The research recommended using Binomial transformation to solve partial difference equations.

On the generalized Apostol-Kolodner differential equation of the second-order

This paper concerns another approach for solving the matrix differential equations of the second order $X''(t)=AX'(t)+BX(t)$, where $A$, $B$ are square matrices of order ${d\times d}$. Such approach is based on some properties of matrix square root and the linear difference equation. We establish various new results and explicit formulas for the solutions of this type of matrix differential equations. Moreover, because of the non-commutativity condition between $A$ and $B$, the matrix fundamental system will play an important role. Finally, our results and their robustness, are validated by providing some examples and applications.

Bayesian inference and optimisation of stochastic dynamical networks

Network inference has been extensively studied in several fields, such as systems biology and social sciences. Learning network topology and internal dynamics is essential to understand mechanisms of complex systems. In particular, sparse topologies and stable dynamics are fundamental features of many real-world continuous-time (CT) networks. Given that usually only a partial set of nodes are able to observe, we consider linear CT systems to depict networks since they can model unmeasured nodes via transfer functions. Additionally, measurements tend to be noisy and with low and varying sampling frequencies. This paper applies dynamical structure functions (DSFs) derived from linear stochastic differential equations (SDEs) to describe networks of measured nodes. A numerical sampling method, preconditioned Crank–Nicolson (pCN), is used to refine coarse-grained trajectories to improve inference accuracy. The proposed method can handle sparsely sampled data and unmeasurable nodes. Monte Carlo simulations indicate that the proposed method outperforms state-of-the-art methods with various network topologies. The developed method can be applied under a wide range of contexts, such as gene regulatory networks, social networks and communication systems.

Anisotropic functionally graded nano-beam models and closed-form solutions in plane gradient elasticity

This study delves into the investigation of exact analytical solutions for the plane stress and displacement fields within linear homogeneous anisotropic nano-beam models of gradient elasticity. It focuses on solving the Helmholtz equation, which encompasses a second-order non-homogeneous linear partial differential equation in plane gradient elasticity theory, utilizing polynomial series-type solutions. The analysis centers on the utilization of gradient Airy stress functions to derive stress fields in the gradient theory. The research yields closed-form analytical solutions for Airy stress functions, stress, and strain fields in both classical and gradient theories. The study considers five distinct types of two-dimensional functionally graded cantilever beams with various boundary conditions: a cantilever anisotropic nano-beam subjected to a concentrated force at the free end, a cantilever anisotropic nano-beam under a uniform load, a simple anisotropic nano-beam under a uniform load, a propped cantilever anisotropic nano-beam under a uniform load, and a fixed end cantilever anisotropic nano-beam under a uniform load. General analytical solutions for the gradient stress and displacement fields of two-dimensional and one-dimensional anisotropic nano-beams under different boundary conditions are provided. The study showcases significant strain gradient size effects at the nano-scale through the derived analytical solutions for anisotropic beams. Additionally, it demonstrates that the strain gradient theory results for the limit case of the gradient coefficient c precisely align with results for isotropic and anisotropic materials in elasticity theory and classical theory. Furthermore, real-world applications are discussed, considering stress and displacement fields in real anisotropic materials such as TiSi2 single crystals and orthotropic materials, which are special cases of anisotropic materials like wood and epoxy as documented in the literature.

Solution forms for generalized hyperbolic cotangent type systems of p-difference equations

Due to the recent increasing interest in hyperbolic-cotangent types of scalar-or two-dimensional systems of difference equations and treatment of some particular states. This paper presents a natural extension of the p-dimensional of four-systems of this generalized type and treats general states. Which is an extension of Stevic's work (J. Inequal. Appl., 2021, 184 (2021)). We also show these systems are solvable by using appropriate variable transformations and obtaining systems of homogeneous linear difference equations with constant coefficients. Some numerical examples of these systems are presented.

Representation of solutions to fuzzy linear fractional differential equations with a piecewise constant argument

This study marks the first exploration of fuzzy linear fractional differential equations with a piecewise constant argument (FLFDEs-PCA), incorporating the concept of Caputo’s type gH-differentiability with the order α ∈ (0, 1]. Such problems are noteworthy as they represent hybrid systems, blending the characteristics of continuous and discrete dynamical systems and integrating aspects from both differential and difference equations. The primary objective of this research is to establish a standardized framework for deriving explicit solution formulas for FLFDEs-PCA under various scenarios. Additionally, illustrative examples are provided to demonstrate the practical implications of our theoretical findings.

New algorithm based on Hermite wavelets and Green’s function to solve Thomas-Fermi type differential equations

This article introduces a novel method using Hermite wavelets and Green’s function to solve Thomas-Fermi-type equations with specific boundary conditions. The equation is first transformed into an integral form and then expanded using Hermite wavelets to create an algebraic expression. The collocation technique generates a set of nonlinear equations, solved iteratively by methods like Newton-Raphson. Several examples demonstrate the method’s effectiveness and accuracy. It is useful for a range of linear and nonlinear differential equations in various fields. Comparative analysis shows it is more accurate and computationally efficient than traditional methods. All computations are performed using MAT LAB.

A variational formulation for three-dimensional linear thermoelasticity with ‘thermal inertia’

AbstractA variational model has been developed to investigate the coupled thermo-mechanical response of a three-dimensional continuum. The linear Partial Differential Equations (PDEs) of this problem are already well-known in the literature. However, in this paper, we avoid the use of the second principle of thermodynamics, basing the formulation only on a proper definition (i) of kinematic descriptors (the displacement and the entropic displacement), (ii) of the action functional (with kinetic, internal and external energy functions) and (iii) of the Rayleigh dissipation function. Thus, a Hamilton–Rayleigh variational principle is formulated, and the cited PDEs have been derived with a set of proper Boundary Conditions (BCs). Besides, the Lagrangian variational perspective has been expanded to analyze linear irreversible processes by generalizing Biot’s formulation, namely, including thermal inertia in the kinetic energy definition. Specifically, this implies Cattaneo’s law for heat conduction, and the well-known Lord–Shulman model for thermo-elastic anisotropic bodies is then deduced. The developed variational framework is ideal for the perspective of analyzing the thermo-mechanical problems with micromorphic and/or higher-order gradient continuum models, where the deduction of a coherent system of PDEs and BCs is, on the one hand, not straightforward and, on the other hand, natural within the presented variational deduction.

Structural redundancy is included in modern data transmission systems to ensure the specified reliability indicators. Structural redundancy gives the system fault tolerance and significantly increases its reliability. To manage the redundant resource, it is necessary to have additional tools that will connect the redundant equipment to the main configuration of the data transmission system. The redundant equipment is a separate technical means and, from the point of view of reliability, it is connected in series with other modules of the data transmission system. Thus, the inclusion of redundant connection facilities in the data transmission system reduces its reliability. In addition, even with perfect reliability, redundant connections may fail or malfunction and, under certain conditions, cause the transmission system to fail. To determine the impact of reserve connection facilities on the reliability of the transmission system, the article applies an original technology for building models of discrete-continuous stochastic systems. ASNA software was used as a software tool for modeling the reliable behavior of the data transmission system. This software provides automated construction of the model in the form of a graph of states and transitions based on a structural automaton model. Based on the graph of states and transitions, an analytical model is automatically generated in the form of a system of linear differential Kolmogorov-Chapman equations. Using the developed model, the article quantitatively analyzes the impact of redundant connection means (switches) on the reliability indicators of the data transmission system. In the study, the proposed models, unlike the existing ones, take into account both reliability indicators (probability of failure) and functionality indicators (probability of switching, speed) of the reserve connection means. On the basis of the developed model, the limit values of reliability and functionality of the redundant connection means (switches) were determined, at which they will minimize the reliability of the fault-tolerant data transmission system. Based on the analysis of the obtained results, practical recommendations for the selection of reliability indicators of the backup connection means, their speed and probability of switching are formed.
