Selected AbstractsGreen's function interpolations for prestack imagingGEOPHYSICAL PROSPECTING, Issue 1 2000Manuela Mendes A new interpolation method is presented to estimate the Green's function values, taking into account the migration/inversion accuracy requirements and the trade-off between resolution and computing costs. The fundamental tool used for this technique is the Dix hyperbolic equation (DHE). The procedure, when applied to evaluate the Green's function for a real source position, uses the DHE to derive the root-mean-square velocity, vRMS, from the precomputed traveltimes for the nearest virtual sources, and by linear interpolation generates vRMS for the real source. Then, by applying the DHE again, the required traveltimes and geometrical spreading can be estimated. The inversion of synthetic data demonstrates that the new interpolation yields excellent results which give a better qualitative and quantitative resolution of the imaging sections, compared with those carried out by conventional linear interpolation. Furthermore, the application to synthetic and real data demonstrates the ability of the technique to interpolate Green's functions from widely spaced virtual sources. Thus the proposed interpolation, besides improving the imaging results, also reduces the overall CPU time and the hard disk space required, hence decreasing the computational effort of the imaging algorithms. [source] L1 Decay estimates for dissipative wave equationsMATHEMATICAL METHODS IN THE APPLIED SCIENCES, Issue 5 2001Albert Milani Let u and v be, respectively, the solutions to the Cauchy problems for the dissipative wave equation $$u_{tt}+u_t-\Delta u=0$$\nopagenumbers\end(1) and the heat equation $$v_t-\Delta v=0$$\nopagenumbers\end(2) We show that, as $t\rightarrow+\infty$\nopagenumbers\end, the norms $\|\partial_t^k\,D_x^\alpha u(\,\cdot\,,t)\|_{L^1({\rm R}^n)}$\nopagenumbers\end and $\|\partial_t^k\,D_x^\alpha v(\,\cdot\,,t)\|_{L^1({\rm R}^n)}$\nopagenumbers\end decay to 0 with the same polynomial rate. This result, which is well known for decay rates in $L^p({\rm R}^n)$\nopagenumbers\end with $2\leq p\leq+\infty$\nopagenumbers\end, provides another illustration of the asymptotically parabolic nature of the hyperbolic equation (1).

We shall deal with this equation in an N -dimensional exterior domain with a star-shaped complement.

This system consists of a parabolic equation governing the (relative) temperature which is nonlinearly coupled with a weakly damped semilinear hyperbolic equation ruling the evolution of the order parameter. The latter is a singular perturbation through an inertial term of the parabolic Allen,Cahn equation and it is characterized by the presence of a singular potential, e.g., of logarithmic type, instead of the classical double-well potential. We first prove the existence and uniqueness of strong solutions when the inertial coefficient , is small enough. Then, we construct a robust family of exponential attractors (as , goes to 0).

In this research a numerical technique is developed for the one-dimensional hyperbolic equation that combine classical and integral boundary conditions. The proposed method is based on shifted Legendre tau technique.

K. Mohanty Abstract In 1996, Mohanty et al. [1] presented a fourth-order finite difference solution of a two space dimensional nonlinear hyperbolic equation with Dirichlet boundary conditions. In 1998, Mohanty et al. [2] discussed a fourth-order approximation at first time level for the numerical solution of the one space dimensional hyperbolic equation.

Numer Methods Partial Differential Eq 17: 607,618, 2001 [source] Arbitrary discontinuities in space,time finite elements by level sets and X-FEMINTERNATIONAL JOURNAL FOR NUMERICAL METHODS IN ENGINEERING, Issue 15 2004Jack Chessa Abstract An enriched finite element method with arbitrary discontinuities in space,time is presented. The discontinuities are treated by the extended finite element method (X-FEM), which uses a local partition of unity enrichment to introduce discontinuities along a moving hyper-surface which is described by level sets. A space,time weak form for conservation laws is developed where the Rankine,Hugoniot jump conditions are natural conditions of the weak form. The method is illustrated in the solution of first order hyperbolic equations and applied to linear first order wave and non-linear Burgers' equations. By capturing the discontinuity in time as well as space, results are improved over capturing the discontinuity in space alone and the method is remarkably accurate. Implications to standard semi-discretization X-FEM formulations are also discussed. Copyright © 2004 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd. [source] Does the loss of regularity really appear?MATHEMATICAL METHODS IN THE APPLIED SCIENCES, Issue 10 2009Xiaojun Lu Abstract In the theory of weakly hyperbolic equations we have the effect of loss of regularity. The present paper devotes to the study of two problems. On the one hand we describe families of weakly hyperbolic Cauchy problems for which we have no loss of regularity. On the other hand we discuss the question if the loss of derivatives really appears. Copyright © 2008 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd. [source] Loss of regularity for the solutions to hyperbolic equations with non-regular coefficients,an application to Kirchhoff equationMATHEMATICAL METHODS IN THE APPLIED SCIENCES, Issue 9 2003Fumihiko Hirosawa We consider the Cauchy problem for second-order strictly hyperbolic equations with time-depending non-regular coefficients. There is a possibility that singular coefficients make a regularity loss for the solution. The main purpose of this paper is to derive an optimal singularity for the coefficient that the Cauchy problem is C, well-posed. Moreover, we will apply such a result to the estimate of the existence time of the solution for Kirchhoff equation. Copyright © 2003 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

We will derive some optimal regularities for well,posedness from the intensity of singularity to the coefficients by WKB representation of the solution and some counter examples which are constructed by using ideas of Floquet theory.
