Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

This Special Issue concentrates on the following three topics:

  1. Wave scattering by many small bodies and the creation of materials with a desired refraction coefficient. Many-body wave scattering is a major problem in mathematical physics. The assumption that a<<d<<λ, where a is the characteristic size of the small bodies, d is the minimal distance between the bodies and λ is the wavelength, allows one to give an asymptotically exact solution of the many-body scattering problem when multiple scattering is essential. 
  2. Analysis of the Navier–Stokes equation, which is one of the greatest problems in mathematical physics. This Special Issue addresses proof of the contradictory nature of the Navier–Stokes problem (NSP) in the three-dimensional space without boundaries and the NSP paradox, which solves one of the Millennium Prize Problems.
  3. Boundary values of analytic functions and singular integral equations in spaces of summable functions.

We consider evolution (non-stationary) spatially-periodic solutions to the n-dimensional non-linear Navier–Stokes equations of anisotropic fluids with the viscosity coefficient tensor variable in spatial coordinates and time and satisfying the relaxed ellipticity condition. Employing the Galerkin algorithm with the basis constituted by the eigenfunctions of the periodic Bessel-potential operator, we prove the existence of a global weak solution. Full article

A body may have a structural, thermal, electromagnetic or optical role. In wave propagation, many models are described for transmission problems, whose solutions are defined in two or more domains. In this paper, we consider an inverse source hyperbolic problem on disconnected intervals, using solution point constraints. Applying a transform method, we reduce the inverse problems to direct ones, which are studied for well-posedness in special weighted Sobolev spaces. This means that the inverse problem is said to be well posed in the sense of Tikhonov (or conditionally well posed). The main aim of this study is to develop a finite difference method for solution of the transformed hyperbolic problems with a non-local differential operator and initial conditions. Numerical test examples are also analyzed. Full article

Lorentz invariance lies at the very heart of Einstein’s special relativity, and both the energy formula and the relative velocity formula are well-known to be invariant under a Lorentz transformation. Here, we investigate the spatial and temporal dependence of the velocity field itself u(x,t) and we pose the problem of the determination of the functional form of those velocity fields u(x,t) which are automatically invariant under a Lorentz transformation. For a single spatial dimension, we determine a first-order partial differential equation for the velocity u(x,t), which appears to be unknown in the literature, and we investigate its main consequences, including demonstrating that it is entirely consistent with many of the familiar outcomes of special relativity and deriving two new partial differential relations connecting energy and momentum that are fully compatible with the Lorentz invariant energy–momentum relations.

In this paper, we study the solution of a singularly perturbed inhomogeneous mixed problem on the half-axis for the Schrödinger equation in the presence of a “strong” turning point for the limit operator on time interval that do not contain focal points. Based on the ideas of the regularization method for asymptotic integration of problems with an unstable spectrum, it is shown how regularizing functions should be constructed for this type of singularity. The paper describes in detail the formalism of the regularization method, justifies the algorithm, constructs an asymptotic solution of any order in a small parameter, and proves a theorem on the asymptotic convergence of the resulting series.
