In this paper, the C-conforming finite element method is analyzed for a class of nonlinear fourth-order hyperbolic partial differential equation. Some a priori bounds are derived using Lyapunov functional, and existence, uniqueness and regularity for the weak solutions are proved. Optimal error estimates are derived for both semidiscrete and fully discrete schemes. Keywords—Nonlinear fourth-ord...

The hyperbolic partial differential equation with an integral condition arises in many physical phenomena. In this research a numerical technique is developed for the one-dimensional hyperbolic equation that combine classical and integral boundary conditions. The proposedmethod is based on shifted Legendre tau technique. Illustrative examples are included to demonstrate the validity and applica...

Elliptic pseudoanalytic function theory was considered independently by Bers and Vekua decades ago. In this paper we develop a hyperbolic analogue of pseudoanalytic function theory using the algebra of hyperbolic numbers. We consider the Klein-Gordon equation with a potential. With the aid of one particular solution we factorize the Klein-Gordon operator in terms of two Vekua-type operators. We...

While the non-homogeneous boundary value problem for elliptic, hyperbolic and parabolic equations is relatively well understood, there are still few results for general dispersive equations. We define here a convenient class of equations comprising the Schrödinger equation, the Airy equation and linear ‘Boussinesq type’ systems, which is in some sense a generalization of strictly hyperbolic equ...

Brownian motion in the three dimensional Lobachevsky space or hyperbolic space is considered in the paper written by F.I.Karpelevich, V.N.Tutubalin and M.G.Shur. A solution for radial symmetric diffusion equation in the three dimensional hyperbolic space is given in that paper. However, derivation of it is not explicitly shown. Therefore, the diffusion equation is solved analytically with an in...

The papers [Gálvez et al. 2000, Kokubu et al. 2003, Kokubu et al. 2005] gave a method of constructing flat surfaces in the three-dimesnional hyperbolic space. Such surfaces have generically singularities, since any closed nonsigular flat surface is isometric to a horosphere or a hyperbolic cylinder. In the paper [Sasaki et al. 2006], we defined a map, called the hyperbolic Schwarz map, from the...

We show here the uniform stabilization of a coupled system of hyperbolic and parabolic PDE’s which describes a particular fluid/structure interaction system. This system has the wave equation, which is satisfied on the interior of a bounded domain Ω, coupled to a “parabolic–like” beam equation holding on ∂Ω, and wherein the coupling is accomplished through velocity terms on the boundary. Our re...

Gauss’ law and the equation of continuity must be satisfied in all materials be they solids, liquids or gases. Most materials are classified as simple materials; i.e., their electrical properties are linear, isotropic and homogeneous. Charge transport in these simple materials should be described by a constitutive equation known as Ohm’s law. When Ohm’s law is combined with Gauss’ law and the e...
