Existence and uniqueness theorems are proved for Cauchy problems of second-order fuzzy differential equations. 1. Introduction. In 1972, Chang and Zadeh [2] first introduced the concept of fuzzy derivative, followed up ten years later by Dubois and Prade [5], who used the extension principle in their approach. In the mean time, Puri and Ralescu [12] used the notion of H-differentiability to ext...

We study conditions under which the solutions of a fuzzy integral equation are bounded. 1. Introduction. The concept of set-valued functions and their calculus [2] were found useful in some problems in economics [3], as well as in control theory [17]. Later on, the notion of H-differentiability was introduced by Puri and Ralesku in order to extend the differential of set-valued functions to tha...

We prove that a certain finite difference scheme converges to the weak solution of the Cauchy problem on a finite interval with periodic boundary conditions for the Camassa– Holm equation ut−uxxt +3uux−2uxuxx−uuxxx = 0 with initial data u|t=0 = u0 ∈ H1([0, 1]). Here it is assumed that u0 − u′′ 0 ≥ 0 and in this case, the solution is unique, globally defined, and energy preserving.

In this paper, we provide stability and convergence analysis for a class of finite difference schemes for unsteady incompressibleNavier-Stokes equations in vorticity-stream function formulation. The no-slip boundary condition for the velocity is converted into local vorticity boundary conditions. Thom’s formula, Wilkes’ formula, or other local formulas in the earlier literature can be used in t...

Difference equations of the form X ( t ) = F * ( t ) X ( t 1 ) F ( t ) F * ( t ) X ( t 1)G(t)[ l + G * ( t ) X ( t 1)G(t)]t G * ( t ) X ( t 1)F(t)+ Q(t ) and their associated Hermitian matrices H ( t ) = (0 v F* _C,C.)(t) are studied. Solution of different Riccati equations can be compared if the difference of their corresponding Hermitian matrices is semidefinite for all t. An application to t...

Modal analysis of the flux reconstruction (FR) formulation is performed to obtain the semi-discrete and fully-discrete dispersion relations, using which, the wave properties of physical as well as spurious modes are characterized. The effect of polynomial order, correction function and solution points on the dispersion, dissipation and relative energies of the modes are investigated. Using this...

We consider the stability of a finite difference scheme with two weight parameters for a hyperbolic equation with nonlocal integral boundary conditions. We obtain stability region in the complex plane by investigating the characteristic equation of a difference scheme using the root criterion.
