Fundamental matrix solutions of piecewise smooth differential systems

Draft version of May 13, 2009 FUNDAMENTAL MATRIX SOLUTIONS OF PIECEWISE SMOOTH DIFFERENTIAL SYSTEMS

We consider the fundamental matrix solution associated to piecewise smooth differential systems of Filippov type, in which the vector field varies discontinuously as solution trajectories reach one or more surfaces. We review the cases of transversal intersection and of sliding motion on one surface. We also consider the case when sliding motion takes place on the intersection of two or more su...

Self-similar solutions‎ ‎of the Riemann problem for two-dimensional systems of conservation‎ ‎laws

In this paper, a new approach is applied to study the self-similar solutions of 2×2 systems of nonlinear hyperbolic conservation laws. A notion of characteristic directions is introduced and then used to construct local and smooth solutions of the associated Riemann problem

A Piecewise Approximate Method for Solving Second Order Fuzzy Differential Equations Under Generalized ‎Differentiability‎

In this paper a numerical method for solving second order fuzzy differential equations under generalized differentiability is proposed. This method is based on the interpolating a solution by piecewise polynomial of degree 4 in the range of solution. Moreover we investigate the existence, uniqueness and convergence of approximate solutions. Finally the accuracy of piecewise approximate method b...

Piecewise quasilinearization techniques for singular boundary-value problems

Piecewise quasilinearization methods for singular boundary-value problems in second-order ordinary differential equations are presented. These methods result in linear constant-coefficients ordinary differential equations which can be integrated analytically, thus yielding piecewise analytical solutions. The accuracy of the globally smooth piecewise quasilinear method is assessed by comparisons...
