There are presented the investigations in the framework of pseudoanalysis semirings whose operations are generated with functions of one variable. Based on the operations with generators there was developed a theory of generalized functions in analogy to the Mikusiński’s operators, which enables the construction of a generalized solution of the Burgers equation. There are considered extensions ...

In this paper, a quantitative measure of partial observability is defined for PDEs. The quantity is proved to be consistent in well-posed approximation schemes. A first order approximation of an unobservability index using empirical gramian is introduced. For linear systems with full state observability, the empirical gramian is equivalent to the observability gramian in control theory. The con...

We analyze the convergence behavior of the overlapping Schwarz waveform relaxation algorithm applied to nonlinear advection problems. We show for Burgers’ equation that the algorithm converges super-linearly at a rate which is asymptotically comparable to the rate of the algorithm applied to linear advection problems. The convergence rate depends on the overlap and the length of the time interv...

The paper is concerned with a numerical simulation of Burgers flow as a simplified model of unsteady flow of a compressible viscous fluid. Viscous Burgers equation represents many of the properties of unsteady compressible NavierStokes equations, such as nonlinear convection and viscous diffusion leading to shock waves and boundary layers. A one-dimensional Burgers equation is frequently used t...

We revisit an optimization strategy recently introduced by the authors to compute numerical approximations of minimizers for optimal control problems governed by scalar conservation laws in the presence of shocks. We focus on the one-dimensional (1-D) Burgers equation. This new descent strategy, called the alternating descent method, in the inviscid case, distinguishes and alternates descent di...

We construct new integrable coupled systems of N = 1 supersymmetric equations and present integrable fermionic extensions of the Burgers and Boussinesq equations. Existence of infinitely many higher symmetries is demonstrated by the presence of recursion operators. Various algebraic methods are applied to the analysis of symmetries, conservation laws, recursion operators, and Hamiltonian struct...

In this paper we establish rigorously that the family of Burgers vortices of the three-dimensional Navier-Stokes equation is stable for small Reynolds numbers. More precisely, we prove that any solution whose initial condition is a small perturbation of a Burgers vortex will converge toward another Burgers vortex as time goes to infinity, and we give an explicit formula for computing the change...
