We propose a new algorithm for solving the terminal value problems on a q-difference equations. Through some transformations, the terminal value problems which contain the first- and second-order delta-derivatives have been changed into the corresponding initial value problems; then with the help of the methods developed by Liu and H. Jafari, the numerical solution has been obtained and the error estimate has also been considered for the terminal value problems. Some examples are given to illustrate the accuracy of the numerical methods we proposed. By comparing the exact solution with the numerical solution, we find that the convergence speed of this numerical method is very fast.

Predictor Corrector

This paper is to discuss how Python can be used in designing a cluster parallel computation environment in numerical solution of some block predictor-corrector method for ordinary differential equations. In the parallel process, MPI-2(message passing interface) is used as a standard of MPICH2 to communicate between CPUs. The operation of data receiving and sending are operated and controlled by mpi4py which is based on Python. Implementation of a block predictor-corrector numerical method with one and two CPUs respectively is used to test the performance of some initial value problem. Minor speed up is obtained due to small size problems and few CPUs used in the scheme, though the establishment of this scheme by Python is valuable due to very few research has been carried in this kind of parallel structure under Python.

A numerical algorithm is presented to solve the initial value problem of linear and nonlinear Caputo fractional-order differential equations. Firstly, nonzero initial value problem should be transformed into zero initial value problem. Error analysis has been done to polynomial algorithm, the reason has been found why the calculation error of the algorithm is large. A new algorithm called exponential function algorithm is proposed based on the analysis. The obtained fractional-order differential equation is transformed into difference equation. If the differential equation is linear, the obtained difference equation is explicit, the numerical solution can be solved directly; otherwise, the obtained difference equation is implicit, the predictor of the numerical solution can be obtained with extrapolation algorithm, substitute the predictor into the equation, the corrector can be solved. Error analysis has been done to the new algorithm, the algorithm is of first order.

Characteristic Initial Value Problem

This is the second of a sequence of papers on the numerical solution of the characteristic initial value problem in general relativity. Although the equations to be integrated have regular coefficients, the nonlinearity leads to the occurrence of singularities after a finite evolution time. In this paper we first discuss some novel techniques for integrating the equations right up to the singularities. The second half of the paper presents as examples the numerical evolution of the Schwarzschild and certain colliding plane wave space‒times.

This paper is concerned with the problem of dynamic instability during ice-lifting from a flat surface through penetration of the interface by means of a sharp blade. The blade is subjected to a horizontal impulsive load and a constant horizontal thrust, both applied suddenly and simultaneously. The principle of the balance of energy is used to analyze the deformation of the ice associated with the crack propagation along the interface. In our formulation, the effect of wave propagation in the ice is neglected. However, the inertia force due to the acceleration of the blade is included. The motion of the blade is investigated by the numerical solution of a complex, nonlinear, initial value problem. It is found that under a given horizontal thrust, if the initial velocity of the blade is sufficiently small, the motion of the blade may stop. However, if the initial velocity of the blade is sufficiently large, the motion of the blade is always forward and the crack can propagate indefinitely along the interface.
