Abstract To model subsurface flow in uncertain heterogeneous or fractured media an elliptic equation with a discontinuous stochastic diffusion coefficient—also called random field—may be used. In case of one-dimensional parameter space, Lévy processes allow for jumps and display great flexibility the distributions However, various situations (e.g. microstructure modeling), space is not sufficie...

Orbits of charged particles under the effect of a magnetic field are mathematically described by magnetic geodesics. They appear as solutions to a system of (nonlinear) ordinary differential equations of second order. But we are only interested in periodic solutions. To this end, we study the corresponding system of (nonlinear) parabolic equations for closed magnetic geodesics and, as a main re...

Finite element exterior calculus is an approach to the design and understanding of finite element discretizations for a wide variety of systems of partial differential equations. This approach brings to bear tools from differential geometry, algebraic topology, and homological algebra to develop discretizations which are compatible with the geometric, topological, and algebraic structures which...

We study Fredholmness of nonlocal boundary value problems for fourth order elliptic differential-operator equations in UMD Banach spaces. The main condition is given in terms of R-boundedness of some families of bounded operators generated by inverse of the characteristic operator pencil of the equation. Then we prove an isomorphism of the problem on the semi-axis, for some special boundary con...

Kudryashov in [ Phys. Lett. A 342 (2005) 99-106] used simplest nonlinear differential equations like the Riccati equation, the equation for the Jacobi elliptic function to present a new approach for searching exact solutions of nonlinear partial differential equations. As application, he obtained a kind of exact solutions to the Fisher equation. In this letter, more explicit exact solitary wave...

In this paper, an extended elliptic equation expansion method is presented for constructing exact traveling wave solutions of nonlinear partial differential equation. The main idea of this method is to take full advantage of the solutions of the elliptic equation to construct exact traveling wave solutions of nonlinear partial differential equations. The ZK-MEW equation is chosen to illustrate ...

In this paper, some properties of pseudo-differential operators, SG-elliptic partial differential equations with polynomial coefficients and localization operators on space S ν (R), are studied by using fractional Fourier transform.

This paper deals with second order necessary conditions for optimal solution of optimal control problems governed by semilinear elliptic partial differential equations with pointwise state-control constraints.

The Phragmén-Lindelöf theorem for Lp-viscosity solutions of fully nonlinear second order elliptic partial differential equations with unbounded coefficients and inhomogeneous terms is established.

The bending analysis of moderately thick elliptic plates weakened by an eccentric circular hole has been investigated in this article. The nonlinear governing equations have been presented by considering the von-Karman assumptions and the first-order shear deformation theory in cylindrical coordinates system. Semi-analytical polynomial method (SAPM) which had been presented by the author before...
