In this paper, we study the inverse problem of reconstructing the spatially dependent transition rate F (x) of a one-dimensional Broadwell process from exit time distributions. In such a process, an advecting particle is assumed to undergo transitions between states with constant positive (+v) and negative (−v) velocities. The goal is to reconstruct the transition rate function F (x) from the e...

Two issues that arise when solving Stokes flow problems with the hydrodynamical single-layer potential are addressed. First, the resulting boundary integral equation is singular, and second, discretizations lead to dense matrices. We discuss a well-posed modified equation which is equivalent for zero net-flux. Furthermore, we describe a multiscale basis that lead to sparse stiffness matrices. T...

This paper presents a numerical method for solving the Volterra integral equation with a convolution kernel. The integral equation was first converted to an algebraic equation using the Laplace transform, after which its numerical inversion was determined by power series. The Padé approximants were effectively used to improve the convergence rate and accuracy of the computed series. The method ...

where λis are the eigenvalues of the Hessian D 2u. Namely, any global convex solution to (1.1) in R must be a quadratic polynomial. Recall the classical result, any global convex solution in R to the Laplace equation △u = λ1+ · · ·+λn = c or the Monge-Ampère equation log detD2u = log λ1+ · · ·+ log λn = c must be quadratic. Equation (1.1) originates from special Lagrangian geometry [HL]. The (L...

We study the Dirichlet problem for the equation Δu − k2u = 0 in the exterior of nonclosed Lipschitz surfaces in R. The Dirichlet problem for the Laplace equation is a particular case of our problem. Theorems on existence and uniqueness of a weak solution of the problem are proved. The integral representation for a solution is obtained in the form of single-layer potential. The density in the po...

In this article, we study the existence of integral solutions for two classes of fractional order evolution equations with nondensely defined linear operators. First, we consider the nonhomogeneous fractional order evolution equation and obtain its integral solution by Laplace transform and probability density function. Subsequently, based on the form of integral solution for nonhomogeneous fra...

We use LVDSMC simulations to calculate the second-order temperature jump coefficient for a dilute gas whose temperature is governed by the Poisson equation with a constant forcing term. Both the hard sphere gas and the BGK model of the Boltzmann equation are considered. Our results show that the temperature jump coefficient is different from the well known linear and steady case where the tempe...

In this paper, we study a parabolic equation with purely nonlocal (integral) conditions. We present a numerical approximate solution by Laplace transform method. Some experimental numerical results using the proposed numerical procedure are discussed.

Solutions to the n-dimensional Laplace equation which are constant on a central quadric are found. The associated twistor description of the case n = 3 is used to characterise Gibbons-Hawking metrics with tri-holomorphic SL(2,C) symmetry.

By using a nonassociative algebra argument, we prove that u ≡ 0 is the only cubic homogeneous polynomial solution to the p-Laplace equation div|Du|p−2Du(x) = 0 in Rn for any n ≥ 2 and p 6∈ {1, 2}.
