Abstract. Although implicit-explicit (IMEX) methods for approximating solutions to semilinear parabolic equations are relatively standard, most recent works examine the case of a fully discretized model. We show that by discretizing time only, one can obtain an elementary convergence result for an implicit-explicit method. This convergence result is strong enough to imply existence and uniquene...

Exponential stability analysis and L2-gain analysis are developed for uncertain distributed parameter systems. Scalar heat processes and distributed mechanical oscillators, governed by semilinear partial differential equations of parabolic and, respectively, hyperbolic types, are chosen for treatment. Sufficient exponential stability conditions with a given decay rate are derived in the form of...

We consider the Cauchy problem in R for a class of semilinear parabolic partial differential equations that arises in some stochastic control problems. We assume that the coefficients are unbounded and locally Lipschitz, not necessarily differentiable, with continuous data and local uniform ellipticity. We construct a classical solution by approximation with linear parabolic equations. The line...

We use the shadowing approach to study the long-time behavior of numerical approximations of semilinear parabolic equations. We show that the corresponding nonlinear semigroup has a Lipschitz shadowing property in a neighborhood of its global attractor. The proof is based on reduction to an inertial manifold and application of shadowing techniques developed for nite-dimensional systems. When ap...
