A collocation-quadrature method is proposed and studied for the numerical solution of a singular integral equation concerned with the two-dimensional elasticity problem of a crack at a circular cavity surface. These investigations are based on an C∗-algebra approach presented in a recent paper [5] on the numerical solution of an integral equation for the notched half-plane problem.

Quantum canonical transformations are used to derive the integral representations and Kummer solutions of the confluent hypergeometric and hypergeometric equations. Integral representations of the solutions of the non-periodic three body Toda equation are also found. The derivation of these representations motivate the form of a two-dimensional generalized hypergeometric equation which contains...

and a0 is a constant, b is a continuous periodic function of variables x and y, a1 and g are continuous periodic functions. This integral equation appears in exterior boundary value problems for the two-dimensional Helmholtz equation (see [11,15– 17,27]). Constructions of conformal mapping also lead to integral equations of this kind (see [22]). In recent years, the Helmholtz equation and its n...

In this paper, three dimensional (3D) static and dynamic analysis of thick plates based on the Meshless Local Petrov-Galerkin (MLPG) is presented. Using the kinematics of a three-dimensional continuum, the local weak form of the equilibrium equations is derived. A weak formulation for the set of governing equations is transformed into local integral equations on local sub-domains by using a uni...

We consider a nonlinear partial differential equation for complexvalued functions which is related to the two-dimensional stationary Schrödinger equation and enjoys many properties similar to those of the ordinary differential Riccati equation as, e.g., the famous Euler theorems, the Picard theorem and others. Besides these generalizations of the classical “one-dimensional” results we discuss n...

In this paper we derive a new handy integral equation for the free boundary of infinite time horizon, continuous time, stochastic, irreversible investment problems with uncertainty modeled as a one-dimensional, regular diffusion X0,x. The new integral equation allows to explicitly find the free boundary b(·) in some so far unsolved cases, as when X0,x is a three-dimensional Bessel process or a ...
