Investigation and Numerical Solution of Nonlinear Partial Differential and Integro-Differential Models Based on System of Maxwell Equations

abstract:
The present monograph is concerned with the investigation and numerical solution of the initial-boundary value problems for some nonlinear partial differential and parabolic type integro-differential models. The models are based on the well-known system of Maxwell equations which describes the process of propagation of an electromagnetic field into a medium. The existence, uniqueness and asymptotic behavior of solutions, as time tends to infinity, for some types of initial-boundary value problems are studied. The examples of one-dimensional nonlinear systems and their analytical solutions are given which show that those systems do not, in general, have global solutions. Consequently, the case of a blow-up solution is observed. Linear stability of the stationary solution of the initial-boundary value problem for one nonlinear system is proved. The possibility of occurrence of the Hopf-type bifurcation is established. Semi-discrete and finite difference approximations are discussed. The splitting-up scheme with respect to physical processes for one-dimensional case as well as additive Rothe-type semi-discrete schemes for multi-dimensional cases are investigated. The stability and convergence properties for those schemes are studied. Algorithms for finding approximate solutions are constructed. Results of numerical experiments with tables and graphical illustrations are given. Their analysis is carried out.
