Boundary value problems for the one-dimensional Willmore equation

The one-dimensional Willmore equation is studied under Navier as well as under Dirichlet boundary conditions. We are interested in smooth graph solutions, since for suitable boundary data, we expect the stable solutions to be among these. In the first part, classical symmetric solutions for symmetric boundary data are studied and closed expressions are deduced. In the Navier case, one has exist...

An Implicit Difference-ADI Method for the Two-dimensional Space-time Fractional Diffusion Equation

Fractional order diffusion equations are generalizations of classical diffusion equations which are used to model in physics, finance, engineering, etc. In this paper we present an implicit difference approximation by using the alternating directions implicit (ADI) approach to solve the two-dimensional space-time fractional diffusion equation (2DSTFDE) on a finite domain. Consistency, unconditi...

Initial Value/boundary Value Problems for Fractional Diffusion-wave Equations and Applications to Some Inverse Problems

We consider initial value/boundary value problems for fractional diffusion-wave equation: ∂ α t u(x, t) = Lu(x, t), where 0 < α ≤ 2, where L is a symmetric uniformly elliptic operator with t-independent smooth coefficients. First we establish the unique existence of ths weak solutions and the asymptotic behaviour as the time t goes to ∞ and the proofs are based on the eigenfunction expansions. ...
