Approximation of a fourth order variational inequality

Hölder continuity of a parametric variational inequality

‎In this paper‎, ‎we study the Hölder continuity of solution mapping to a parametric variational inequality‎. ‎At first‎, ‎recalling a real-valued gap function of the problem‎, ‎we discuss the Lipschitz continuity of the gap function‎. ‎Then under the strong monotonicity‎, ‎we establish the Hölder continuity of the single-valued solution mapping for the problem‎. ‎Finally‎, ‎we apply these resu...

Numerical Approximation of Degenerate Fourth Order

A. description In recent years several mathematical models in uid dynamics, materials science and plasticity have lead to fourth order nonlinear degenerate parabolic equations. We mention for example the lubrication approximation for thin viscous lms (cf. and models that describe dislocation densities in plasticity (cf. Gr un (1995)). Although there has been a considerable eeort to understand d...

A Pointwise Inequality for the Fourth Order Lane-emden Equation

We prove that the following pointwise inequality holds −∆u ≥ √ 2 (p + 1)− cn |x| a 2 u p+1 2 + 2 n− 4 |∇u|2 u in R where cn := 8 n(n−4) , for positive bounded solutions of the fourth order Hénon equation that is ∆u = |x|u in R where a ≥ 0 and p > 1. Motivated by the Moser iteration argument in the regularity theory, we develop an iteration argument to prove the above pointwise inequality. As fa...

A fourth-order approximation of fractional derivatives with its applications

A fourth-order compact difference approximation is derived for the space fractional derivatives by using the weighted average of the shifted Grunwald formulae combining the compact technique. The properties of proposed fractional difference quotient operator are presented and proved. Then the new approximation formula is applied to solving the space fractional diffusion equations. By the energy...
