We consider three problems for the Helmholtz equation in interior and exterior domains in R^d (d=2,3): the exterior Dirichlet-to-Neumann and Neumann-to-Dirichlet problems for outgoing solutions, and the interior impedance problem. We derive sharp estimates for solutions to these problems that, in combination, give bounds on the inverses of the combined-field boundary integral operators for exterior Helmholtz problems.
We study a commonly-used second-kind boundary-integral equation for solving the Helmholtz exterior Neumann problem at high frequency, where, writing $Gamma$ for the boundary of the obstacle, the relevant integral operators map $L^2(Gamma)$ to itself. We prove new frequency-explicit bounds on the norms of both the integral operator and its inverse. The bounds on the norm are valid for piecewise-smooth $Gamma$ and are sharp, and the bounds on the norm of the inverse are valid for smooth $Gamma$ and are observed to be sharp at least when $Gamma$ is curved. Together, these results give bounds on the condition number of the operator on $L^2(Gamma)$; this is the first time $L^2(Gamma)$ condition-number bounds have been proved for this operator for obstacles other than balls.
We prove sharp pointwise decay estimates for critical Dirac equations on $mathbb{R}^n$ with $ngeq 2$. They appear for instance in the study of critical Dirac equations on compact spin manifolds, describing blow-up profiles, and as effective equations in honeycomb structures. For the latter case, we find excited states with an explicit asymptotic behavior. Moreover, we provide some classification results both for ground states and for excited states.
We prove generalized Strichartz estimates with weaker angular integrability for the Schrodinger equation. Our estimates are sharp except some endpoints. Then we apply these new estimates to prove the scattering for the 3D Zakharov system with small data in the energy space with low angular regularity. Our results improve the results obtained recently in cite{GLNW}.
In this paper, we develop fast procedures for solving linear systems arising from discretization of ordinary and partial differential equations with Caputo fractional derivative w.r.t time variable. First, we consider a finite difference scheme to solve a two-sided fractional ordinary equation. Furthermore, we present a fast solution technique to accelerate Toeplitz matrix-vector multiplications arising from finite difference discretization. This fast solution technique is based on a fast Fourier transform and depends on the special structure of coefficient matrices, and it helps to reduce the computational work from $O(N^{3})$ required by traditional methods to $O(Nlog^{2}N)$ and the memory requirement from $O(N^{2})$ to $O(N)$ without using any lossy compression, where $N$ is the number of unknowns. Two finite difference schemes to solve time fractional hyperbolic equations with different fractional order $gamma$ are considered. We present a fast solution technique depending on the special structure of coefficient matrices by rearranging the order of unknowns. It helps to reduce the computational work from $O(N^2M)$ required by traditional methods to $O(N$log$^{2}N)$ and the memory requirement from $O(NM)$ to $O(N)$ without using any lossy compression, where $N=tau^{-1}$ and $tau$ is the size of time step, $M=h^{-1}$ and $h$ is the size of space step. Importantly, a fast method is employed to solve the classical time fractional diffusion equation with a lower coast at $O(MN$log$^2N)$, where the direct method requires an overall computational complexity of $O(N^2M)$. Moreover, the applicability and accuracy of the scheme are demonstrated by numerical experiments to support our theoretical analysis.
In this paper, we consider artificial boundary conditions for the linearized mixed Korteweg-de Vries (KDV) Benjamin-Bona-Mahoney (BBM) equation which models water waves in the small amplitude, large wavelength regime. Continuous (respectively discrete) artificial boundary conditions involve non local operators in time which in turn requires to compute time convolutions and invert the Laplace transform of an analytic function (respectively the Z-transform of an holomor-phic function). In this paper, we propose a new, stable and fairly general strategy to carry out this crucial step in the design of transparent boundary conditions. For large time simulations, we also introduce a methodology based on the asymptotic expansion of coefficients involved in exact direct transparent boundary conditions. We illustrate the accuracy of our methods for Gaussian and wave packets initial data.
