Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Starting with the seminal works of A.M. Lyapunov,  A. Poincaré,  and E. Schmidt, the branching theory of nonlinear parameter-dependent equations enabled various essential applications in natural sciences and engineering over the course of the last hundred years. V.I. Yudovich  pioneered the application of symmetry methods in branching theory. A series of applications of the Lyapunov–Schmidt method, Conley index theory, and the central manifold methods in the conditions of group symmetry were reported in many seminal works during the last decades. Various critical processes in plasma physics, fluid dynamics, and thermo-dynamics are modelled using the branching theory of nonlinear differential-operator parameter-dependent equations. The objective of this Special Issue is to report on the cutting edge development of the advanced branching theory of nonlinear equations and their applications. The Special issue will bring together experts in qualitative theory of differential-operator equations, numerical analysts, and practitioners in the various applied fields of contemporary natural sciences. The results on the solvability of non-standard nonlinear equations with parameters will be reported, focusing on the analysis of the problems associated with branching, regularization, group symmetry, and solution blow-up phenomena.

X-ray computed tomography (CT) is widely used in medical applications, where many efforts have been made for decades to eliminate artifacts caused by incomplete projection. In this paper, we propose a new CT image reconstruction model based on nonlocal low-rank regularity and data-driven tight frame (NLR-DDTF). Unlike the Spatial-Radon domain data-driven tight frame regularization, the proposed NLR-DDTF model uses an asymmetric treatment for image reconstruction and Radon domain inpainting, which combines the nonlocal low-rank approximation method for spatial domain CT image reconstruction and data-driven tight frame-based regularization for Radon domain image inpainting. An alternative direction minimization algorithm is designed to solve the proposed model. Several numerical experiments and comparisons are provided to illustrate the superior performance of the NLR-DDTF method. Full article

The famous Toms effect (1948) consists of a substantial increase of the critical Reynolds number when a small amount of soluble polymer is introduced into water. The most noticeable influence of polymer additives is manifested in the boundary layer near solid surfaces. The task includes the ratio of two characteristic length scales, one of which is the Prandtl scale, and the other is defined as the square root of the normalized coefficient of relaxation viscosity (Frolovskaya and Pukhnachev, 2018) and does not depend on the characteristics of the motion. In the limit case, when the ratio of these two scales tends to zero, the equations of the boundary layer are exactly integrated. One of the goals of the present paper is group analysis of the boundary layer equations in two mathematical models of the flow of aqueous polymer solutions: the second grade fluid (Rivlin and Ericksen, 1955) and the Pavlovskii model (1971). The equations of the plane non-stationary boundary layer in the Pavlovskii model are studied in more details. The equations contain an arbitrary function depending on the longitudinal coordinate and time. This function sets the pressure gradient of the external flow. The problem of group classification with respect to this function is analyzed. All functions for which there is an extension of the kernels of admitted Lie groups are found. Among the invariant solutions of the new model of the boundary layer, a special place is taken by the solution of the stationary problem of flow around a rectilinear plate. Full article

The paper deals with a system of two nonlinear second-order parabolic equations. Similar systems, also known as reaction-diffusion systems, describe different chemical processes. In particular, two unknown functions can represent concentrations of effectors (the activator and the inhibitor respectively), which participate in the reaction. Diffusion waves propagating over zero background with finite velocity form an essential class of solutions of these systems. The existence of such solutions is possible because the parabolic type of equations degenerates if unknown functions are equal to zero. We study the analytic solvability of a boundary value problem with the degeneration for the reaction-diffusion system. The diffusion wave front is known. We prove the theorem of existence of the analytic solution in the general case. We construct a solution in the form of power series and suggest recurrent formulas for coefficients. Since, generally speaking, the solution is not unique, we consider some cases not covered by the proved theorem and present the example similar to the classic example of S.V. Kovalevskaya.

The paper deals with two-dimensional boundary-value problems for the degenerate nonlinear parabolic equation with a source term, which describes the process of heat conduction in the case of the power-law temperature dependence of the heat conductivity coefficient. We consider a heat wave propagation problem with a specified zero front in the case of two spatial variables. The solution existence and uniqueness theorem is proved in the class of analytic functions. The solution is constructed as a power series with coefficients to be calculated by a proposed constructive recurrent procedure. An algorithm based on the boundary element method using the dual reciprocity method is developed to solve the problem numerically. The efficiency of the application of the dual reciprocity method for various systems of radial basis functions is analyzed. An approach to constructing invariant solutions of the problem in the case of central symmetry is proposed. The constructed solutions are used to verify the developed numerical algorithm. The test calculations have shown the high efficiency of the algorithm. Full article

The necessary and sufficient conditions of existence of the nonlinear operator equations’ branches of solutions in the neighbourhood of branching points are derived. The approach is based on the reduction of the nonlinear operator equations to finite-dimensional problems. Methods of nonlinear functional analysis, integral equations, spectral theory based on index of Kronecker-Poincaré, Morse-Conley index, power geometry and other methods are employed. Proposed methodology enables justification of the theorems on existence of bifurcation points and bifurcation sets in the nonstandard models. Formulated theorems are constructive. For a certain smoothness of the nonlinear operator, the asymptotic behaviour of the solutions is analysed in the neighbourhood of the branch points and uniformly converging iterative schemes with a choice of the uniformization parameter enables the comprehensive analysis of the problems details. General theorems and effectiveness of the proposed methods are illustrated on the nonlinear integral equations. Full article

In this paper, we study the stationary boundary value problem derived from the magnetic (non) insulated regime on a plane diode. Our main goal is to prove the existence of non-negative solutions for that nonlinear singular system of second-order ordinary differential equations. To attain such a goal, we reduce the boundary value problem to a singular system of coupled nonlinear Fredholm integral equations, then we analyze its solvability through the existence of fixed points for the related operators. This system of integral equations is studied by means of Leray-Schauder’s topological degree theory. Full article
