Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Analysis and computation are powerful tools in tackling mathematical problems in science and technology. This Special Issue is dedicated to original research, as well as review-cum-expository research, that appreciates both applied analysis and computation.

Topics from inverse problems, imaging, partial differential equations, mathematical finance and economics, numerical analysis and scientific computing, and data mining and machine learning are particularly welcome.

Prof. Dr. Hongyu Liu

The focus of this work is to investigate the well-posedness and exponential stability of a swelling porous system with the Gurtin–Pipkin thermal effect as the only source of damping. The well-posedness result is achieved using an essential corollary to the Lumer–Phillips Theorem. By constructing a suitable Lyapunov functional, we establish an exponential stability result without the conventional limitation to the system’s parameters (coined a stability number in the literature). Generally, the study demonstrates that the unique dissipation from the Gurtin–Pipkin thermal law is sufficient to stabilize the system exponentially, irrespective of the system’s parameters.

For the safety of tunnel excavation, the observation of tunnel convergence not only provides a technique for assessing the stability of the surrounding ground, but also provides an estimate of the constitutive parameters of geological materials. This estimation method belongs to an inverse algorithm process called the inverse calculation method (ICM), which utilizes the incremental concept in the convergence-confinement method (CCM) to solve the support-ground interaction of circular tunnel excavation. The method is to determine the mathematical solution of the intersection of the two nonlinear curves, the support confining curve (SCC) and the ground reaction curve (GRC) in the CCM by using Newton’s recursive method and inversely calculating the unknown parameters. To verify the validity of the developed inverse algorithm process, this study compares the results of the ICM with those of the published articles. In addition, the modulus of rock mass and unsupported span are inversely deduced using the values of convergence difference measured in the practical case of railway tunnels. Full article

The weighted gradient reproducing kernel collocation method is introduced to recover the heat source described by Poisson’s equation. As it is commonly known that there is no unique solution to the inverse heat source problem, the weak solution based on a priori assumptions is considered herein. In view of the fourth-order partial differential equation (PDE) in the mathematical model, the high-order gradient reproducing kernel approximation is introduced to efficiently untangle the problem without calculating the high-order derivatives of reproducing kernel shape functions. The weights of the weighted collocation method for high-order inverse analysis are first determined. In the benchmark analysis, the unclear illustration in the literature is clarified, and the correct interpretation of numerical results is given particularly. Two mathematical formulations with four examples are provided to demonstrate the viability of the method, including the extreme cases of the limited accessible boundary. Full article

In this paper, an effective numerical method for the Dirichlet problem connected with the Helmholtz equation is proposed. We choose a single-layer potential approach to obtain the boundary integral equation with the density function, and then we deal with the weakly singular kernel of the integral equation via singular value decomposition and the Nystrom method. The direct problem with noisy data is solved using the Tikhonov regularization method, which is used to filter out the errors in the boundary condition data, although the problems under investigation are well-posed. Finally, a few examples are provided to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed method, including piecewise boundary curves with corners. Full article
