Stability estimates of solutions to extremal problems for a nonlinear convection-diffusion-reaction equation
Abstract
We consider an identification problem for a stationary nonlinear convection–diffusion–reaction equation in which the reaction coefficient depends nonlinearly on the concentration of the substance. This problem is reduced to an inverse extremal problem by an optimization method. The solvability of the boundary value problem and the extremal problem is proved. In the case that the reaction coefficient is quadratic, when the equation acquires cubic nonlinearity, we deduce an optimality system. Analyzing it, we establish some estimates of the local stability of solutions to the extremal problem under small perturbations both of the quality functional and the given velocity vector which occurs multiplicatively in the convection–diffusion–reaction equation.
Finding the coefficients of a linear elliptic equation
Abstract
We study the inverse problems of finding the coefficients of a linear elliptic equation for various boundary conditions in a prescribed rectangle. The existence, uniqueness, and stability theorems are proved for solutions to the inverse problems for the particular statements under study in the paper. An iterative method is employed to construct a regularization algorithm for solving the inverse problems.
A class of systems of ordinary differential equations of large dimension
Abstract
We consider the Cauchy problem for a class of systems of ordinary differential equations of large dimension.We prove that, for sufficiently large number of equations, the last component of a solution to the Cauchy problem is an approximate solution to the initial value problem for a delay differential equation. Estimates of the approximation are obtained.
Derivation of an averaged model of isothermal acoustics in a heterogeneous medium in the case of two different poroelastic domains
Abstract
We consider some mathematical model of isothermal acoustics in a composite medium consisting of two different porous soils (poroelastic domains) separated by a common boundary. Each of the domains has its own characteristics of the solid skeleton; the liquid filling the pores is the same for both domains. The differential equations of the exactmodel contain some rapidly oscillating coefficients. The averaged equations (i.e., without rapidly oscillating coefficients) are derived.
A fully polynomial-time approximation scheme for a sequence 2-cluster partitioning problem
Abstract
We consider a strongly NP-hard problem of partitioning a finite sequence of points in Euclidean space into the two clustersminimizing the sum over both clusters of intra-cluster sums of squared distances from the clusters elements to their centers. The sizes of the clusters are fixed. The centroid of the first cluster is defined as the mean value of all vectors in the cluster, and the center of the second cluster is given in advance and equals 0. Additionally, the partition must satisfy the restriction that for all vectors in the first cluster the difference between the indices of two consequent points from this cluster is bounded from below and above by some given constants.We present a fully polynomial-time approximation scheme for the case of fixed space dimension.
On complexity of optimal recombination for flowshop scheduling problems
Abstract
Under study is the complexity of optimal recombination for various flowshop scheduling problems with the makespan criterion and the criterion of maximum lateness. The problems are proved to be NP-hard, and a solution algorithm is proposed. In the case of a flowshop problem on permutations, the algorithm is shown to have polynomial complexity for “almost all” pairs of parent solutions as the number of jobs tends to infinity.
A factorization method for numerical solution of the Navier–Stokes equations for a viscous incompressible liquid
Abstract
Some implicit difference scheme of approximate factorization is proposed for numerical solution of the Navier–Stokes equations for an incompressible liquid in curvilinear coordinates. Testing of the algorithm is carried out on the solution of the problems concerning the Couette and Poiseuille flows; and the results are presented of numerical simulation of a flow between the rotating cylinders with covers.
Network flow assignment as a fixed point problem
Abstract
This paper deals with the user equilibrium problem (flow assignment with equal journey time by alternative routes) and system optimum (flow assignment with minimal average journey time) in a network consisting of parallel routes with a single origin-destination pair. The travel time is simulated by arbitrary smooth nondecreasing functions. We prove that the equilibrium and optimal assignment problems for such a network can be reduced to the fixed point problem expressed explicitly. A simple iterative method of finding equilibriumand optimal flow assignment is developed. The method is proved to converge geometrically; under some fairly natural conditions the method is proved to converge quadratically.
On the maximal component algebraic immunity of vectorial Boolean functions
Abstract
Under study is the component algebraic immunity of vectorial Boolean functions. We prove a theorem on the correspondence between the maximal component algebraic immunity of a function and its balancedness. Some relationship is obtained between the maximal component algebraic immunity and matrices of a special form. We construct several functions with maximal component algebraic immunity in case of few variables.
Numerical solution of an equilibrium problem for an elastic body with a thin delaminated rigid inclusion
Abstract
Under consideration is a 2D-problem of elasticity theory for a body with a thin rigid inclusion. It is assumed that there is a delamination crack between the rigid inclusion and the elastic matrix. At the crack faces, the boundary conditions are set in the form of inequalities providing mutual nonpenetration of the crack faces. Some numerical method is proposed for solving the problem, based on domain decomposition and the Uzawa algorithm for solving variational inequalities.We give an example of numerical calculation by the finite element method.
A method for solving an exterior three-dimensional boundary value problem for the Laplace equation
Abstract
We develop and experimentally study the algorithms for solving three-dimensionalmixed boundary value problems for the Laplace equation in unbounded domains. These algorithms are based on the combined use of the finite elementmethod and an integral representation of the solution in a homogeneous space. The proposed approach consists in the use of the Schwarz alternating method with consecutive solution of the interior and exterior boundary value problems in the intersecting subdomains on whose adjoining boundaries the iterated interface conditions are imposed. The convergence of the iterative method is proved. The convergence rate of the iterative process is studied analytically in the case when the subdomains are spherical layers with the known exact representations of all consecutive approximations. In this model case, the influence of the algorithm parameters on the method efficiency is analyzed. The approach under study is implemented for solving a problem with a sophisticated configuration of boundaries while using a high precision finite elementmethod to solve the interior boundary value problems. The convergence rate of the iterations and the achieved accuracy of the computations are illustrated with some numerical experiments.
Comparative study of two fast algorithms for projecting a point to the standard simplex
Abstract
We consider two algorithms for orthogonal projection of a point to the standard simplex. These algorithms are fundamentally different; however, they are related to each other by the following fact: When one of them has the maximum run time, the run time of the other is minimal. Some particular domains are presented whose points are projected by the considered algorithms in the minimum and maximum number of iterations. The correctness of the conclusions is confirmed by the numerical experiments independently implemented in the MatLab environment and the Java programming language.
