In this paper we study the convergence of the semi-implicit and the implicit Euler methods for the time integration of abstract, quasilinear hyperbolic evolution equations. The analytical framework considered here includes certain quasilinear Maxwell’s and wave equations as special cases. Our analysis shows that the Euler approximations are well-posed and convergent of order one. The techniques...

we discuss the asymptotic behaviour of solutions for the nonlocal quasilinear hyperbolic problem of kirchhoff type [ u_{tt}-phi (x)||nabla u(t)||^{2}delta u+delta u_{t}=|u|^{a}u,, x in mathbb{r}^{n} ,,tgeq 0;,]with initial conditions $u(x,0) = u_0 (x)$ and $u_t(x,0) = u_1 (x)$, in the case where $n geq 3, ; delta geq 0$ and $(phi (x))^{-1} =g (x)$  is a positive function lying in $l^{n/2}(mathb...

In this Note, we review the main existing results, methods, and some key open problems on the controllability of nonlinear hyperbolic and parabolic equations. Especially, we describe our recent universal approach to solve the local controllability problem of quasilinear time-reversible evolution equations, which is based on a new unbounded perturbation technique. It is also worthy to mention th...

Recently, the study of initial-boundary value problems for hyperbolic equations with boundary integral conditions has received considerable attention. This kind of conditions has many important applications. For instance, they appear in the case where a direct measurement quantity is impossible; however, their mean values are known. In this paper, we deal with a class of quasilinear hyperbolic ...

We extend the semilinear framework developed by the two authors in [29] and the non-trapping quasilinear theory developed by the first author [27] to solve quasilinear wave equations with normally hyperbolic trapping. The most well-known example that fits into our general framework is wavetype equations on Kerr-de Sitter space. The key advance is an adaptation of the Nash-Moser iteration to our...

Differential constraints are used as a means of developing a systematic method for finding exact solutions to quasilinear nonautonomous hyperbolic systems of first-order partial differential equations (PDEs) involving two independent variables. The leading assumption of the hyperbolicity of the basic system together with a strict compatibility argument permits characterization of the most gener...

We introduce a generalization of Glimm’s random choice method, which provides us with an approximation of entropy solutions to quasilinear hyperbolic system of balance laws. The flux-function and the source term of the equations may depend on the unknown as well as on the time and space variables. The method is based on local approximate solutions of the generalized Riemann problem, which form ...

This article is concerned with local well-posedness of the Cauchy problem for second order quasilinear hyperbolic equations with rough initial data. The new results obtained here are sharp in low dimension.
