Abstract The frameworks of Baikov–Gazizov–Ibragimov (BGI) and Fushchich–Shtelen (FS) approximate symmetries are used to study symmetry properties of partial differential equations with a small parameter. In general, it is shown that unlike the case of ordinary differential equations (ODEs), unstable BGI point symmetries of unperturbed partial differential equations (PDEs) do not necessarily yield local approximate symmetries for the perturbed model. While some relations between the BGI and FS approaches can be established, the two methods yield different approximate symmetry classifications. Detailed classifications are presented for two nonlinear PDE families. The second family includes a one-dimensional wave equation describing the wave motion in a hyperelastic material with a single family of fibers. For this model, approximate symmetries can be used to compute approximate closed-form solutions. Wave breaking times are found numerically and using the approximate solutions, which yield comparable results.

Sonar systems are frequently used to classify objects at a distance by using the structure of the echoes of acoustic waves as a proxy for the object’s shape and composition. Traditional synthetic aperture processing is highly effective in solving classification problems when the conditions are favourable but relies on accurate knowledge of the sensor’s trajectory relative to the object being measured. This article provides several new theoretical tools that decouple object classification performance from trajectory estimation in synthetic aperture sonar processing. The key insight is that decoupling the trajectory from classification-relevant information involves factoring a function into the composition of two functions. The article presents several new general topological invariants for smooth functions based on their factorisations over function composition. These invariants specialise to the case when a sonar platform trajectory is deformed by a non-small perturbation. The mathematical results exhibited in this article apply well beyond sonar classification problems. This article is written in a way that supports full mathematical generality.

Abstract In this contribution, we present a modelling and simulation framework for parametrised lithium-ion battery cells. We first derive a continuum model for a rather general intercalation battery cell on the basis of non-equilibrium thermodynamics. In order to efficiently evaluate the resulting parameterised non-linear system of partial differential equations, the reduced basis method is employed. The reduced basis method is a model order reduction technique on the basis of an incremental hierarchical approximate proper orthogonal decomposition approach and empirical operator interpolation. The modelling framework is particularly well suited to investigate and quantify degradation effects of battery cells. Several numerical experiments are given to demonstrate the scope and efficiency of the modelling framework.

Abstract New classes of conditionally integrable systems of nonlinear reaction–diffusion equations are introduced. They are obtained by extending a well-known nonclassical symmetry of a scalar partial differential equation to a vector equation. New exact solutions of nonlinear predator–prey systems with cross-diffusion are constructed. Infinite dimensional classes of exact solutions are made available for such nonlinear systems. Some of these solutions decay towards extinction and some oscillate or spiral around an interior fixed point. It is shown that the conditionally integrable systems are closely related to the standard diffusive Lotka–Volterra system, but they have additional features.

In this paper, we consider the existence and stability of singular patterns in a fractional Ginzburg–Landau equation with a mean field. We prove the existence of three types of singular steady-state patterns (double fronts, single spikes, and double spikes) by solving their respective consistency conditions. In the case of single spikes, we prove the stability of single small spike solution for sufficiently large spatial period by studying an explicit non-local eigenvalue problem which is equivalent to the original eigenvalue problem. For the other solutions, we prove the instability by using the variational characterisation of eigenvalues. Finally, we present the results of some numerical computations of spike solutions based on the finite difference methods of Crank–Nicolson and Adams–Bashforth.

Loss functions with a large number of saddle points are one of the major obstacles for training modern machine learning (ML) models efficiently. First-order methods such as gradient descent (GD) are usually the methods of choice for training ML models. However, these methods converge to saddle points for certain choices of initial guesses. In this paper, we propose a modification of the recently proposed Laplacian smoothing gradient descent (LSGD) [Osher et al., arXiv:1806.06317], called modified LSGD (mLSGD), and demonstrate its potential to avoid saddle points without sacrificing the convergence rate. Our analysis is based on the attraction region, formed by all starting points for which the considered numerical scheme converges to a saddle point. We investigate the attraction region’s dimension both analytically and numerically. For a canonical class of quadratic functions, we show that the dimension of the attraction region for mLSGD is
