Initial value methods for parabolic control problems

Stability Analysis of Difference Methods for Parabolic Initial Value Problems

A decomposition of the numerical solution can be defined by the normal mode representation, that generalizes further the spatial eigenmode decomposition of the von Neumann analysis by taking into account the boundary conditions which are not periodic. In this paper we present some new theoretical results on normal mode analysis for a linear and parabolic initial value problem. Furthermore we su...

Initial - Boundary Value Problems for Parabolic Equations

Degenerate Parabolic Initial-Boundary Value Problems*

in Hilbert space and their realizations in function spaces as initial-boundary value problems for partial differential equations which may contain degenerate or singular coefficients. The Cauchy problem consists of solving (1.1) subject to the initial condition Jdu(0) = h. We are concerned with the case where the solution is given by an analytic semigroup; it is this sense in which the Canchy p...

Trigonometrically fitted two-step obrechkoff methods for the numerical solution of periodic initial value problems

In this paper, we present a new two-step trigonometrically fitted symmetric Obrechkoff method. The method is based on the symmetric two-step Obrechkoff method, with eighth algebraic order, high phase-lag order and is constructed to solve IVPs with periodic solutions such as orbital problems. We compare the new method to some recently constructed optimized methods from the literature. The numeri...

Parallel Methods for Initial Value Problems

As scientiic technology becomes increasingly more sophisticated, the production of more data and/or the modelling of more complex systems requires computers with ever-increasing computational power. In order to cope with this situation numerical algorithms have to be developed which allow the distribution of both data and code segments over large numbers of processors with the hope that problem...
