On a nonlinear nonlocal ODE arising in magnetic recording

On a Nonlinear Nonlocal Ode and Its Applications *

We consider a limit case of a system of two equations arising in magnetic recording for a one-dimensional domain. The system models the tape deflection when it is driven over a magnetic head profile, which is a known function. The system is reduced to a second order nonlinear equation, where the unknown u appears evaluated in a finite set of distinguished points {xi}i=1 of the domain.

Global existence and blow-up for a class of nonlocal nonlinear Cauchy problems arising in elasticity

We study the initial-value problem for a general class of nonlinear nonlocal wave equations arising in one-dimensional nonlocal elasticity. The model involves a convolution integral operator with a general kernel function whose Fourier transform is nonnegative. We show that some well-known examples of nonlinear wave equations, such as Boussinesq-type equations, follow from the present model for...

On Nonlinear Nonlocal Diffusion Equations

This is a study of a class of nonlocal nonlinear diffusion equations (NNDEs). We present several new qualitative results for nonlocal Dirichlet problems. It is shown that solutions with positive initial data remain positive through time, even for nonlinear problems; in addition, we prove that solutions to these equations obey a strong maximum principle. A striking result shows that nonlocal sol...
