Energy Estimates for Weakly Hyperbolic Systems of the First Order

چکیده
For a class of weakly hyperbolic systems of the form Dt − A(t, x,Dx), where A(t, x, Dx) is a first-order pseudodifferential operator whose principal part degenerates like t∗ at time t = 0, for some integer l∗ ≥ 1, well-posedness of the Cauchy problem is proved in an adapted scale of Sobolev spaces. In addition, an upper bound for the loss of regularity that occurs when passing from the Cauchy data to the solutions is established. In examples, this upper bound turns out to be sharp. CONTENTS

Optimal order finite element approximation for a hyperbolic integro-differential equation
Semidiscrete finite element approximation of a hyperbolic type integro-differential equation is studied. The model problem is treated as the wave equation which is perturbed with a memory term. Stability estimates are obtained for a slightly more general problem. These, based on energy method, are used to prove optimal order a priori error estimates.
متن کاملIndirect stabilization of hyperbolic systems through resolvent estimates
We prove a sharp decay rate for the total energy of two classes of systems of weakly coupled hyperbolic equations. We show that we can stabilize the full system through a single damping term, acting on one component only of the system (indirect stabilization). The energy estimate is achieved by means of suitable estimates of the resolvent operator norm. We apply this technique to a system of wa...

There is a tendency to write the equations of general relativity as a first order symmetric system of time dependent partial differential equations. However, for numerical reasons, it might be advantageous to use a second order formulation like one obtained from the ADM equations. Unfortunately, the type of the ADM equations is not well understood and therefore we shall discuss, in the next sec...

متن کاملSOLVING LINEAR SIXTH-ORDER BOUNDARY VALUE PROBLEMS BY USING HYPERBOLIC UNIFORM SPLINE METHOD
In this paper, a numerical method is developed for solving a linear sixth order boundaryvalue problem (6VBP ) by using the hyperbolic uniform spline of order 3 (lower order). Thereis proved to be first-order convergent. Numerical results confirm the order of convergencepredicted by the analysis.
