Simplifying the structure of second order partial differential equations

On the stability of linear differential equations of second order

The aim of this paper is to investigate the Hyers-Ulam stability of the  linear differential equation$$y''(x)+alpha y'(x)+beta y(x)=f(x)$$in general case, where $yin C^2[a,b],$  $fin C[a,b]$ and $-infty

Recurrent metrics in the geometry of second order differential equations

Given a pair (semispray $S$, metric $g$) on a tangent bundle, the family of nonlinear connections $N$ such that $g$ is recurrent with respect to $(S, N)$ with a fixed recurrent factor is determined by using the Obata tensors. In particular, we obtain a characterization for a pair $(N, g)$ to be recurrent as well as for the triple $(S, stackrel{c}{N}, g)$ where $stackrel{c}{N}$ is the canonical ...

The Solution of Second - Order Partial Differential Equations

On Approximate Solutions of Second-Order Linear Partial Differential Equations

In this paper, a Chebyshev polynomial approximation for the solution of second-order partial differential equations with two variables and variable coefficients is given. Also, Chebyshev matrix is introduced. This method is based on taking the truncated Chebyshev expansions of the functions in the partial differential equations. Hence, the result matrix equation can be solved and approximate va...

Isogeometric analysis for second order partial differential equations on surfaces

We consider the numerical solution of second order Partial Differential Equations (PDEs) on lower dimensional manifolds, specifically on surfaces in three dimensional spaces. For the spatial approximation, we consider Isogeometric Analysis which facilitates the encapsulation of the exact geometrical description of the manifold in the analysis when this is represented by B–splines or NURBS. Our ...
