Book Transformation Methods For Nonlinear Partial Differential Equations

Download or read book Transformation Methods For Nonlinear Partial Differential Equations written by Dominic G B Edelen and published by World Scientific. This book was released on 1992-06-09 with total page 341 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of the book is to provide research workers in applied mathematics, physics, and engineering with practical geometric methods for solving systems of nonlinear partial differential equations. The first two chapters provide an introduction to the more or less classical results of Lie dealing with symmetries and similarity solutions. The results, however, are presented in the context of contact manifolds rather than the usual jet bundle formulation and provide a number of new conclusions. The remaining three chapters present essentially new methods of solution that are based on recent publications of the authors'. The text contains numerous fully worked examples so that the reader can fully appreciate the power and scope of the new methods. In effect, the problem of solving systems of nonlinear partial differential equations is reduced to the problem of solving families of autonomous ordinary differential equations. This allows the graphs of solutions of the system of partial differential equations to be realized as certain leaves of a foliation of an appropriately defined contact manifold. In fact, it is often possible to obtain families of solutions whose graphs foliate an open subset of the contact manifold. These ideas are extended in the final chapter by developing the theory of transformations that map a foliation of a contact manifold onto a foliation. This analysis gives rise to results of surprising depth and practical significance. In particular, an extended Hamilton-Jacobi method for solving systems of partial differential equations is obtained.

Book Solving Nonlinear Partial Differential Equations with Maple and Mathematica

Download or read book Solving Nonlinear Partial Differential Equations with Maple and Mathematica written by Inna Shingareva and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2011-07-24 with total page 372 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The emphasis of the book is given in how to construct different types of solutions (exact, approximate analytical, numerical, graphical) of numerous nonlinear PDEs correctly, easily, and quickly. The reader can learn a wide variety of techniques and solve numerous nonlinear PDEs included and many other differential equations, simplifying and transforming the equations and solutions, arbitrary functions and parameters, presented in the book). Numerous comparisons and relationships between various types of solutions, different methods and approaches are provided, the results obtained in Maple and Mathematica, facilitates a deeper understanding of the subject. Among a big number of CAS, we choose the two systems, Maple and Mathematica, that are used worldwide by students, research mathematicians, scientists, and engineers. As in the our previous books, we propose the idea to use in parallel both systems, Maple and Mathematica, since in many research problems frequently it is required to compare independent results obtained by using different computer algebra systems, Maple and/or Mathematica, at all stages of the solution process. One of the main points (related to CAS) is based on the implementation of a whole solution method (e.g. starting from an analytical derivation of exact governing equations, constructing discretizations and analytical formulas of a numerical method, performing numerical procedure, obtaining various visualizations, and comparing the numerical solution obtained with other types of solutions considered in the book, e.g. with asymptotic solution).

Book Symmetry Analysis and Exact Solutions of Equations of Nonlinear Mathematical Physics

Download or read book Symmetry Analysis and Exact Solutions of Equations of Nonlinear Mathematical Physics written by Vilʹgelʹm Ilʹich Fushchich and published by Springer. This book was released on 1993-02-28 with total page 472 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume presents an account of the current state of algebraic-theoretic methods as applied to linear and nonlinear multidimensional equations of mathematical and theoretical physics. Equations are considered that are invariant under Euclid, Galilei, Schrödinger, Poincaré, conformal, and some other Lie groups, with special emphasis being given to the construction of wide classes of exact solutions of concrete nonlinear partial differential equations, such as d'Alembert, Liouville, Monge-Ampère, Hamilton-Jacobi, eikonal, Schrödinger, Navier-Stokes, gas dynamics, Dirac, Maxwell-Dirac, Yang-Mills, etc. Ansätze for spinor, as well as scalar and vector fields are described and formulae for generating solutions via conformal transformations are found explicitly for scalar, spinor, vector, and tensor fields with arbitrary conformal degree. The classical three-body problem is considered for the group-theoretic point of view. The symmetry of integro-differential equations is also studied, and the method of finding final nonlocal transformations is described. Furthermore, the concept of conditional symmetry is introduced and is used to obtain new non-Lie Ansätze for nonlinear heat and acoustic equations. The volume comprises an Introduction, which presents a brief account of the main ideas, followed by five chapters, appendices, and a comprehensive bibliography. This book will be of interest to researchers, and graduate students in physics and mathematics interested in algebraic-theoretic methods in mathematical and theoretical physics.

Book Introduction to Multidimensional Integrable Equations

Download or read book Introduction to Multidimensional Integrable Equations written by B.G. Konopelchenko and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2013-06-29 with total page 298 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The soliton represents one ofthe most important ofnonlinear phenomena in modern physics. It constitutes an essentially localizedentity with a set ofremarkable properties. Solitons are found in various areas of physics from gravitation and field theory, plasma physics, and nonlinear optics to solid state physics and hydrodynamics. Nonlinear equations which describe soliton phenomena are ubiquitous. Solitons and the equations which commonly describe them are also of great mathematical interest. Thus, the dis covery in 1967and subsequent development ofthe inversescattering transform method that provides the mathematical structure underlying soliton theory constitutes one of the most important developments in modern theoretical physics. The inversescattering transform method is now established as a very powerful tool in the investigation of nonlinear partial differential equations. The inverse scattering transform method, since its discoverysome two decades ago, has been applied to a great variety of nonlinear equations which arise in diverse fields of physics. These include ordinary differential equations, partial differential equations, integrodifferential, and differential-difference equations. The inverse scattering trans form method has allowed the investigation of these equations in a manner comparable to that of the Fourier method for linear equations.

Book Numerical Methods for Nonlinear Partial Differential Equations

Download or read book Numerical Methods for Nonlinear Partial Differential Equations written by Sören Bartels and published by Springer. This book was released on 2015-01-19 with total page 394 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The description of many interesting phenomena in science and engineering leads to infinite-dimensional minimization or evolution problems that define nonlinear partial differential equations. While the development and analysis of numerical methods for linear partial differential equations is nearly complete, only few results are available in the case of nonlinear equations. This monograph devises numerical methods for nonlinear model problems arising in the mathematical description of phase transitions, large bending problems, image processing, and inelastic material behavior. For each of these problems the underlying mathematical model is discussed, the essential analytical properties are explained, and the proposed numerical method is rigorously analyzed. The practicality of the algorithms is illustrated by means of short implementations.

Book Multidimensional Screening

Download or read book Multidimensional Screening written by Suren Basov and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2005-11-19 with total page 212 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In many industries the tariffs are not strictly proportional to the quantity purchased, i. e, they are nonlinear. Examples of nonlinear tariffs include railroad and electricity schedules and rental rates for durable goods and space. The major justification for the nonlinear pricing is the existence of private information on the side of consumers. In the early papers on the subject, private information was captured either by assuming a finite number of types (e. g. Adams and Yellen, 1976) or by a unidimensional continuum of types (Mussa and Rosen, 1978). Economics of the unidimen sional problems is by now well understood. The unidimensional models, however, do not cover all the situations of practical interest. Indeed, often the nonlinear tariffs specify the payment as a function of a variety of characteristics. For example, railroad tariffs spec ify charges based on weight, volume, and distance of each shipment. Dif ferent customers may value each of these characteristics differently, hence the customer's type will not in general be captured by a unidimensional characteristic and a problem of multidimensional screening arises. In such models the consumer's private information (her type) is captured by an m—dimensional vector, while the good produced by the monopolist has n quality dimensions.

Book Partial Differential Equations

Download or read book Partial Differential Equations written by Walter A. Strauss and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2007-12-21 with total page 467 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Our understanding of the fundamental processes of the natural world is based to a large extent on partial differential equations (PDEs). The second edition of Partial Differential Equations provides an introduction to the basic properties of PDEs and the ideas and techniques that have proven useful in analyzing them. It provides the student a broad perspective on the subject, illustrates the incredibly rich variety of phenomena encompassed by it, and imparts a working knowledge of the most important techniques of analysis of the solutions of the equations. In this book mathematical jargon is minimized. Our focus is on the three most classical PDEs: the wave, heat and Laplace equations. Advanced concepts are introduced frequently but with the least possible technicalities. The book is flexibly designed for juniors, seniors or beginning graduate students in science, engineering or mathematics.

Book Parametric Lie Group Actions on Global Generalised Solutions of Nonlinear PDEs

Download or read book Parametric Lie Group Actions on Global Generalised Solutions of Nonlinear PDEs written by Elemer E. Rosinger and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2013-03-09 with total page 247 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book presents global actions of arbitrary Lie groups on large classes of generalised functions by using a novel parametric approach. This new method extends and completes earlier results of the author and collaborators, in which global Lie group actions on generalised functions were only defined in the case of projectable or fibre-preserving Lie group actions. The parametric method opens the possibility of dealing with vastly larger classes of Lie semigroup actions which still transform solutions into solutions. These Lie semigroups can contain arbitrary noninvertible smooth mappings. Thus, they cannot be subsemigroups of Lie groups. Audience: This volume is addressed to graduate students and researchers involved in solving linear and nonlinear partial differential equations, and in particular, in dealing with the Lie group symmetries of their classical or generalised solutions.
