We present an existence theory based on minimization of the nonlocal energies appearing in peridynamics, which is a nonlocal continuum model in solid mechanics that avoids the use of deformation gradients. We employ the direct method of the calculus of variations in order to find minimizers of the energy of a deformation. Lower semicontinuity is proved under a weaker condition than convexity, w...

Nonlocal problems for hyperbolic equations of the first order describe the dynamic of population [1]–[3]. During the last thirty years the existence and uniqueness of the solution of nonlocal problems for the system of hyperbolic equations have been considered in a number of papers [4]–[8]. The authors assumed that the nonlinear functions satisfy the Lipschitz condition with respect to the unkn...

We formulate an equivalence relation between nonlocal quantum fields, generalizing the relative locality which was studied by Borchers in the framework of local QFT. The Borchers classes are shown to allow a natural extension involving nonlocal fields with arbitrarily singular ultraviolet behavior. Our consideration is based on the systematic employment of the asymptotic commutativity condition...

A notion of vertex bialgebra and a notion of module nonlocal vertex algebra for a vertex bialgebra are studied and then a smash product construction of nonlocal vertex algebras is presented. For every nonlocal vertex algebra V satisfying a suitable condition, a canonical bialgebra B(V ) is constructed such that primitive elements of B(V ) are essentially pseudo derivations and group-like elemen...

The nonlocal boundary value problem for Schrödinger equation in a Hilbert space is considered. The second-order of accuracy r-modified Crank-Nicolson difference schemes for the approximate solutions of this nonlocal boundary value problem are presented. The stability of these difference schemes is established. A numerical method is proposed for solving a one-dimensional nonlocal boundary value ...

Abstract In this paper, we present numerical studies of a recently proposed scalar nonlocal nonlinear conservation law in one space dimension. The nonlocal model accounts for nonlocal interactions over a finite horizon and enjoys maximum principle, monotonicity-preserving and entropy condition on the continuum level. Moreover, it has a well-defined local limit given by a conventional local cons...

We exploit a recently developed nonlocal vector calculus to provide a variational analysis for a general class of nonlocal diffusion problems given by a linear integral equation on bounded domains in R. The ubiquity of the nonlocal operator is illustrated by a number of applications ranging from continuum mechanics to graph theory. These applications elucidate different interpretations of the o...

Adomian decomposition method (ADM) is applied to approximately solve stochastic fractional integrodifferential equations involving nonlocal initial condition. The convergence of the ADM for the considered problem is proved. The mean square error between approximate solution and accurate solution is also given. [Mahmoud M.
