We present a new diagonal quasi-Newton method for solving unconstrained optimization problems based on the weak secant equation. To control the diagonal elements, the new method uses new criteria to generate the Hessian approximation. We establish the global convergence of the proposed method with the Armijo line search. Numerical results on a collection of standard test problems demonstrate the superiority of the proposed method over several existing diagonal methods.

We are concerned with a simplified quantum energy-transport model for bipolar semiconductors, which consists of nonlinear parabolic fourth-order equations for the electron and hole density; degenerate elliptic heat equations for the electron and hole temperature; and Poisson equation for the electric potential. For the periodic boundary value problem in the torus (mathbb{T}^{d}), the global existence of weak solutions is proved, based on a time-discretization, an entropy-type estimate, and a fixed-point argument. Furthermore, the semiclassical limit is obtained by using a priori estimates independent of the scaled Planck constant.

We present a unified approach to studying the superconvergence property of the spectral volume (SV) method for high-order time-dependent partial differential equations using the local discontinuous Galerkin formulation. We choose the diffusion and third-order wave equations as our models to illustrate approach and the main idea. The SV scheme is designed with control volumes constructed using the Gauss points or Radau points in subintervals of the underlying meshes, which leads to two SV schemes referred to as GSV and RSV schemes, respectively. With a careful choice of numerical fluxes, we demonstrate that the schemes are stable and exhibit optimal error estimates. Furthermore, we establish superconvergence of the GSV and RSV for the solution itself and the auxiliary variables. To be more precise, we prove that the errors of numerical fluxes at nodes and for the cell averages are superconvergent with orders of (cal{O}(h^{2k+1})) and (cal{O}(h^{2k})) for RSV and GSV, respectively. Superconvergence for the function value and derivative value approximations is also studied and the superconvergence points are identified at Gauss points and Radau points. Numerical experiments are presented to illustrate theoretical findings.

The Fletcher-Reeves (FR) method is widely recognized for its drawbacks, such as generating unfavorable directions and taking small steps, which can lead to subsequent poor directions and steps. To address this issue, we propose a modification to the FR method, and then we develop it into the three-term conjugate gradient method in this paper. The suggested methods, named “HZF” and “THZF”, preserve the descent property of the FR method while mitigating the drawbacks. The algorithms incorporate strong Wolfe line search conditions to ensure effective convergence. Through numerical comparisons with other conjugate gradient algorithms, our modified approach demonstrates superior performance. The results highlight the improved efficacy of the HZF algorithm compared to the FR and three-term FR conjugate gradient methods. The new algorithm was applied to the problem of image restoration and proved to be highly effective in image restoration compared to other algorithms.

We investigate the Cauchy problem of the one dimensional Maxwell-Schrödinger (MS) system under the Lorenz gauge condition. Different from the classical case, we consider the electromagnetic and electrostatic potentials which are growing at space infinity. More precisely, the electrostatic potential is allowed to grow linearly, while for the electromagnetic potential the growth is sublinear. Based on the energy estimates and the gauge transformation, we prove the global existence and the uniqueness of the weak solutions to this system.

The aim of this article is to investigate the well-posedness, stability of solutions to the time-dependent Maxwell’s equations for electric field in conductive media in continuous and discrete settings, and study convergence analysis of the employed numerical scheme. The situation we consider would represent a physical problem where a subdomain is emerged in a homogeneous medium, characterized by constant dielectric permittivity and conductivity functions. It is well known that in these homogeneous regions the solution to the Maxwell’s equations also solves the wave equation, which makes computations very efficient. In this way our problem can be considered as a coupling problem, for which we derive stability and convergence analysis. A number of numerical examples validate theoretical convergence rates of the proposed stabilized explicit finite element scheme.

The Sturm-Liouville eigenvalue problem is symmetric if the coefficients are even functions and the boundary conditions are symmetric. The eigenfunction is expressed in terms of orthonormal bases, which are constructed in a linear space of trial functions by using the Gram-Schmidt orthonormalization technique. Then an n-dimensional matrix eigenvalue problem is derived with a special matrix A:= [aij], that is, aij = 0 if i + j is odd.
Based on the product formula, an integration method with a fictitious time, namely the fictitious time integration method (FTIM), is developed to obtain the higher-index eigenvalues. Also, we recover the symmetric potential function q(x) in the Sturm-Liouville operator by specifying a few lower-index eigenvalues, based on the product formula and the Newton iterative method.

We multiply both sides of the complex symmetric linear system Ax = b by 1 − iω to obtain a new equivalent linear system, then a dual-parameter double-step splitting (DDSS) method is established for solving the new linear system. In addition, we present an upper bound for the spectral radius of iteration matrix of the DDSS method and obtain its quasi-optimal parameter. Theoretical analyses demonstrate that the new method is convergent when some conditions are satisfied. Some tested examples are given to illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed method.

We study an n-dimensional system of ordinary differential equations with a constant matrix, a relay-type nonlinearity, and an external disturbance in the right-hand side. We consider a nonideal relay characteristic. The external disturbance is described by the product of an exponential function and a sine function with an initial phase as a parameter. We assume the matrix of the linear part and the vector at the relay characteristic such that, by a nonsingular transformation, the system is reduced to the form with the diagonal matrix and the vector being opposite to the unit vector. We establish a necessary and sufficient condition for the existence of two-point oscillatory solutions, i.e., the solutions with two fixed points on the hyperplanes of the relay switching in phase space. Also, we give the sufficient conditions under which such solutions do not exist. We provide a supporting example, which demonstrates how to apply the obtained results.
