The two-dimensional equations of magnetoelastodynamics are considered as a symmetric hyperbolic system of linear first-order partial-differential equations in three independent variables. The characteristic properties of the system are determined and a numerical method for obtaining the solution to mixed initial and boundary-value problems in plane magnetoelastodynamics is presented. Results on the von Neumann necessary condition are presented. Application of the method to a problem which has a known solution provides further numerical evidence of the convergence and stability of the method.

AbstractIn this paper a class of optimal control problems with distributed parameters is considered. The governing equations are nonlinear first order partial differential equations that arise in the study of heterogeneous reactors and control of chemical processes. The main focus of the present paper is the mathematical theory underlying the algorithm. A conditional gradient method is used to devise an algorithm for solving such optimal control problems. A formula for the Fréchet derivative of the objective function is obtained, and its properties are studied. A necessary condition for optimality in terms of the Fréchet derivative is presented, and then it is shown that any accumulation point of the sequence of admissible controls generated by the algorithm satisfies this necessary condition for optimality.

A mixed problem in the theory of partial differential equations is an auxiliary data problem wherein conditions are assigned on two distinct surfaces having an intersection of lower dimension. Such problems have usually been formulated in connection with hyperbolic differential equations, with initial and boundary conditions prescribed. In this paper a study is made of the conditions appropriate to a system of R linear partial differential equations of first order, in R dependent and N independent variables.

AbstractWe give an intrinsic construction of a coupled nonlinear system consisting of two first-order partial differential equations in two dependent and two independent variables which is determined by a hyperbolic structure on the complex special linear group regarded as a real Lie groupG. Despite the fact that the system is not Darboux semi-integrable at first order, the construction of a family of solutions depending.upon two arbitrary functions, each of one variable, is reduced to a system of ordinary differential equations on the 1-jets. The ordinary differential equations in question are of Lie type and associated withG.

Given an equation of the form z = ϕ ( x 1 , x 2 , ..... x n+m , a 1 , a 2 ,. . . . a n ), we obtain by differentiation with respect to each of the n + m independent variables x 1 , x 2 , ..... x n+m , and elimination of the n arbitrary constant a 1 , a 2 ,. . . . a n a system of m +1 non-linear partial differential equations of the first order. Of this system the given equation may be said to be "complete primitive.”

The general feature of most of the methods of integration of any partial differential equation is the construction of an appropriate subsidiary system and the establishment of the proper relations between integrals of this system and the solution of the original equation. Methods, which in this sense may be called complete, are possessed for partial differential equations of the first order in one dependent variable and any number of independent variables; for certain classes of equations of the first order in two independent variables and a number of dependent variables; and for equations of the second (and higher) orders in one dependent and two independent variables.

The complete integral of the differential equationφ(xyzpq) = 0is a relation among the variables, which includes as many arbitrary constants as there are independent variables. But it is important to distinguish carefully between differential equations which have been formed by the elimination of constants from some complete primitive, and those whose origin is quite unknown, or which may have been constructed by some method totally different from the first.In the original case, the differential equation can always be integrated in finite terms, while in the latter, only under the conditions laid down in Cauchy's Existence Theorem can an integral be obtained, and even then usually as an infinite series.
