چکیده

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

Numerical solution of fuzzy Hunter-Saxton equation by using Adomian decomposition and Homotopy analysis methods

In this paper, a fuzzy Hunter-Saxton equation is solved by using the Adomian'sdecomposition method (ADM) and homotopy analysis method (HAM). Theapproximation solution of this equation is calculated in the form of series whichits components are computed by applying a recursive relation. The existenceand uniqueness of the solution and the convergence of the proposed methodsare proved. A numerical...

Global weak solutions for a periodic two-component μ-Hunter-Saxton system

This paper is concerned with global existence of weak solutions for a periodic twocomponent μ-Hunter-Saxton system. We first derive global existence for strong solutions to the system with smooth approximate initial data. Then, we show that the limit of approximate solutions is a global weak solution of the two-component μ-Hunter-Saxton system. 2000 Mathematics Subject Classification: 35G25, 35L05

Lipschitz 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).

On the N=2 Supersymmetric Camassa-Holm and Hunter-Saxton Equations

We consider N=2 supersymmetric extensions of the Camassa-Holm and HunterSaxton equations. We show that they admit geometric interpretations as Euler equations on the superconformal algebra of contact vector fields on the 1|2dimensional supercircle. We use the bi-Hamiltonian formulation to derive Lax pairs. Moreover, we present some simple examples of explicit solutions. As a byproduct of our an...

Local Discontinuous Galerkin Method for the Hunter--Saxton Equation and Its Zero-Viscosity and Zero-Dispersion Limits

In this paper, we develop, analyze and test a local discontinuous Galerkin (LDG) method for solving the Hunter-Saxton (HS) equation which contains nonlinear high order derivatives and its zero-viscosity and zero-dispersion limit. The energy stability for general solutions are proved and numerical simulation results for different types of solutions of the nonlinear HS equation are provided to il...
