We consider the Cauchy problem on nonlinear scalar conservation laws with a diffusion-type source term related to an index s ∈ ℝ over the whole space ℝn for any spatial dimension n ≥ 1. Here, the diffusion-type source term behaves as the usual diffusion term over the low frequency domain while it admits on the high frequency part a feature of regularity-gain and regularity-loss for s < 1 and s > 1, respectively. For all s ∈ ℝ, we not only obtain the Lp–Lq time-decay estimates on the linear solution semigroup but also establish the global existence and optimal time-decay rates of small-amplitude classical solutions to the nonlinear Cauchy problem. In the case of regularity-loss, the time-weighted energy method is introduced to overcome the weakly dissipative property of the equation. Moreover, the large-time behavior of solutions asymptotically tending to the heat diffusion waves is also studied. The current results have general applications to several concrete models arising from physics.

The paper recalls the concept of duality in mathematics and extends it to solid mechanics. One important application of duality is to restore some symmetry between current fields and their adjoint ones. This leads to many alternative schemes for numerical analyses, different from the classical one as used in classical formulation of boundary value problems (finite element method). Usually, conservation laws in fracture mechanics make use of the current fields, displacement and stress. Many conservation laws of this type are not free of the source term. Consequently, one cannot derive path-independent integrals for use in fracture mechanics. The introduction of variables and dual or adjoint variables leads to true path-independent integrals. Duality also introduces some anti-symmetry in current fields and adjoint ones for some boundary value problems. The symmetry is lost between fields and adjoint fields. The last notion enables us to derive new variational formulation on dual subspaces and to exactly solve inverse problems for detecting cracks and volume defects.

We consider the following class of three point boundary value problemy′′(t)+f(t,y)=0,0<t<1,y′(0)=0,y(1)=δy(η), whereδ>0,0<η<1, the source termf(t,y)is Lipschitz and continuous. We use monotone iterative technique in the presence of upper and lower solutions for both well-order and reverse order cases. Under some sufficient conditions, we prove some new existence results. We use examples and figures to demonstrate that monotone iterative method can efficiently be used for computation of solutions of nonlinear BVPs.

In this work, we consider a damped equation with a time-independent source term. We derive the classical Lie symmetries admitted by the equation as well as the reduced ordinary differential equations. We also present some exact solutions. Conservation laws for this equation are constructed by using the multiplier method.
