The function inverfc 6 arises in certain diffusion problems when concentration is taken as an independent variable. It enters into a general method of exact solution of the concentration-dependent diffusion equation. An account is given of the properties of this function, and of its derivatives and integrals. The function

AbstractIn this paper we propose a method to compute the solution to the fractional diffusion equation on directed networks, which can be expressed in terms of the graph Laplacian L as a product $$f(L^T) \varvec{b}$$ f ( L T ) b , where f is a non-analytic function involving fractional powers and $$\varvec{b}$$ b is a given vector. The graph Laplacian is a singular matrix, causing Krylov methods for $$f(L^T) \varvec{b}$$ f ( L T ) b to converge more slowly. In order to overcome this difficulty and achieve faster convergence, we use rational Krylov methods applied to a desingularized version of the graph Laplacian, obtained with either a rank-one shift or a projection on a subspace.

The instability of traveling pulses in nonlinear diffusion problems is inspected on the example of Gunn domains in semiconductors. Mathematically the problem is reduced to the calculation of the "energy" of the ground state in Schrödinger equation with a complicated potential. A general method to obtain the bottom-part spectrum of such equations based on the approximation of the potential by square wells is proposed and applied. Possible generalization of the approach to other types of nonlinear diffusion equations is discussed.

This work presents a performance comparison of several meshless RBF formulations for convection-diffusion equation with moderate-to-high Peclet number regimes. For the solution of convection-diffusion problems, several comparisons between global (full-domain) meshless RBF methods and mesh-based methods have been presented in the literature. However, in depth studies between new local RBF collocation methods and full-domain symmetric RBF collocation methods are not reported yet. The RBF formulations included: global symmetric method, symmetric double boundary collocation method, additive Schwarz domain decomposition method (DDM) when it is incorporated into two anterior approaches, and local single and double collocation methods. It can be found that the accuracy of solutions deteriorates as Pe increases, if no special treatment is used. From the numerical tests, it seems that the local methods, especially the derived double collocation technique incorporating PDE operator, are more effective than full domain approaches even with iterative DDM in solving moderate-to-high Pe convection-diffusion problems subject to mixed boundary conditions.

Abstract In this paper, we consider the backward diffusion problem for a space-fractional diffusion equation (SFDE) with a nonlinear source, that is, to determine the initial data from a noisy final data. Very recently, some papers propose new modified regularization solutions to solve this problem. To get a convergence estimate, they required some strongly smooth conditions on the exact solution. In this paper, we shall release the strongly smooth conditions and introduce a stepwise regularization method to solve the backward diffusion problem. A numerical example is presented to illustrate our theoretical result.
