Global Solutions of the Hunter-Saxton Equation
We construct a continuous semigroup of weak, dissipative solutions to a nonlinear partial differential equations modeling nematic liquid crystals. A new distance functional, determined by a problem of optimal transportation, yields sharp estimates on the continuity of solutions with respect to the initial data. 1 Introduction In this paper we investigate the Cauchy problem
متن کاملThe Hunter-Saxton Equation: A Geometric Approach
The Hunter–Saxton equation is the Euler equation for the geodesic flow on the quotient space of the infinite-dimensional group of orientation preserving diffeomorphisms of the unit circle modulo the subgroup of rigid rotations equipped with a right-invariant metric. We establish several properties of this quotient space: it has constant sectional curvature equal to 1, the Riemannian exponential...
متن کاملLipschitz Metric for the Hunter–saxton Equation
We study stability of solutions of the Cauchy problem for the Hunter–Saxton equation ut + uux = 14 ( R x −∞ u 2 x dx− R∞ x ux dx) with initial data u0. In particular, we derive a new Lipschitz metric dD with the property that for two solutions u and v of the equation we have dD(u(t), v(t)) ≤ edD(u0, v0).
متن کاملConvergent difference schemes for the Hunter-Saxton equation
We propose and analyze several finite difference schemes for the Hunter–Saxton equation (HS) ut + uux = 1 2 ∫ x 0 (ux) 2 dx, x > 0, t > 0. This equation has been suggested as a simple model for nematic liquid crystals. We prove that the numerical approximations converge to the unique dissipative solution of (HS), as identified by Zhang and Zheng. A main aspect of the analysis, in addition to th...
متن کاملAnalytical solution of the Hunter-Saxton equation using the reduced dierential transform method
In this paper, the reduced dierential transform method is investigated fora nonlinear partial dierential equation modeling nematic liquid crystals, itis called the Hunter-Saxton equation. The main advantage of this methodis that it can be applied directly to nonlinear dierential equations withoutrequiring linearization, discretization, or perturbation. It is a semi analytical-numerical method t...
