In this article, element free Galerkin method is used for static analysis of thin micro/nanoscale plates based on the nonlocal plate theory. The problem is solved for the plates with arbitrary boundary conditions. Since shape functions of the element free Galerkin method do not satisfy the Kronecker’s delta property, the penalty method is used to impose the essential boundary conditions. Discre...

The purpose of this paper is to compare the solutions of one-dimensional boundary value problems corresponding to classical, fractional and nonlocal diffusion on bounded domains. The latter two diffusions are viable alternatives for anomalous diffusion, when Fick’s first law is an inaccurate model. In the case of nonlocal diffusion, a generalization of Fick’s first law in terms of a nonlocal fl...

In the theory of differential equations, the basic concepts have been formulated studying the problems of classical mathematical physics. However, the modern problems motivate to formulate and investigate the new ones, for example, a class of nonlocal problems. Nonlocal conditions arise when we cannot measure data directly at the boundary. In this case, the problem is formulated, where the valu...

The nonlocal boundary value problems for differential operator equations of second order with dependent coefficients are studied. The principal parts of the differential operators generated by these problems are non-selfadjoint. Several conditions for the maximal regularity and the Fredholmness in Banach-valued Lp-spaces of these problems are given. By using these results, the maximal regularit...

In this paper nonlocal boundary conditions for the Navier–Stokes equations are derived, starting from the Boltzmann equation in the limit for the Knudsen number being vanishingly small. In the same spirit of (Lombardo et al. in J. Stat. Phys. 130:69–82, 2008) where a nonlocal Poisson scattering kernel was introduced, a gaussian scattering kernel which models nonlocal interactions between the ga...

It is well known that integrable hierarchies in (1+1) dimensions are local while the recur-sion operators that generate them usually contain nonlocal terms. We resolve this apparent discrepancy by providing simple and universal sufficient conditions for a (nonlocal) recursion operator in (1+1) dimensions to generate a hierarchy of local symmetries. These conditions are satisfied by virtually al...

We develop and analyze an optimization–based method for the coupling of nonlocal and local diffusion problems with mixed volume constraints and boundary conditions. The approach formulates the coupling as a control problem where the states are the solutions of the nonlocal and local equations, the objective is to minimize their mismatch on the overlap of the nonlocal and local domains, and the ...

Nonlocal problems is a major research area in many branches of modern physics, biotechnology, chemistry and engineering, which arises when it is impossible to determine the boundary values of unknown function and its derivatives. Increasingly often, there arise problems with nonlocal integral boundary conditions, especially in particle diffusion [1] and heat conduction [2, 3]. Partial different...

We study the existence and approximate controllability of a class of fractional nonlocal delay semilinear differential systems in a Hilbert space. The results are obtained by using semigroup theory, fractional calculus, and Schauder’s fixed point theorem. Multi-delay controls and a fractional nonlocal condition are introduced. Furthermore, we present an appropriate set of sufficient conditions ...

The nonlinear bending behavior of sector graphene sheets is studied subjected to uniform transverse loads resting on a Winkler-Pasternak elastic foundation using the nonlocal elasticity theory. Considering the nonlocal differential constitutive relations of Eringen theory based on first order shear deformation theory and using the von-Karman strain field, the equilibrium partial differential eq...
