We regularize the Beale-Schaeeer equation with a second-order viscous regularizing term, and we add a globally deened ux term in conservative form. We obtain u t + iu x = H(u)u ]x + ju x j 2 u x ]x + u xx , where i 2 = ?1, and H(u) is the Hilbert transform of u. We derive bounds for the solution of the equation and its rst-order spatial derivatives in L 2 and in the maximum norm, independent of. We show that the function u t satisses an L 2 norm bound that depends linearly on ; all the other derivatives satisfy bounds that depend on negative powers of. We show that, for > 0, the solution exists and is unique. We also prove that, for > 0, in the limit of ! 0, the sequence of functions (u)>0 has a weak limit; the weak limit may not be unique.

In suitable coordinates, the invariant curve is determined by the solution of a functional equation on a circle. A linearized version of this functional equation is studied in detail. Stability of the schemes is discussed and error estimates are derived depending on the smoothness of the solution. Roughly speaking, the analysis predicts superior behavior of the spline scheme when the solution is sufficiently smooth, but a more reliable behavior of the lower-order scheme in situations when a smooth solution cannot be expected. This is confirmed in numerical examples.The analysis of the linear functional equation does not readily generalize to nonlinear equations, but the algorithms for the linear equation can be used as a building block for a treatment of nonlinear equati...

We show that, under the asumptions ju x j 1 C , jH(u x )j 1 C , and R 1 0 jju x jj dt C, H(u) being the Hilbert transform of u and C a constant independent of time, the smallest scale of the solution of the equation is essentially , being the viscosity coefficient. The analytical results are confirmed with numerical ones. We also show that the solution of the equation, in the limit of zero viscosity, has a weak limit in the space of functions of bounded variation.

We discretize the model equation with a second-order and third-order finite difference schemes, and with a cubic spline interpolation scheme. We also approximate the solution of the model equation with a truncated Fourier expansion. We derive error estimates for the second-order and third-order finite difference schemes and for the cubic spline interpolation scheme. We numerically implement the four schemes we consider and plot some error curves. Part II We show for a one-dimensional Stefan problem, that the numerical solution converges to the solution of the continuous equations in the limit of zero meshsize and timestep. We discretize the continuous equations with a second-order finite difference scheme in space and Crank-Nicholson scheme in time. We derive error equations and we use L2 estimates to bound the error in terms of the truncation errors of the finite difference schem...

The discrete system is formulated and the solution technique is described. It is shown that this method has an exponential convergence rate even in the presence of singularities. The details of the convergence proof are given for a sinc collocation method applied to second-order, two-point boundary-value problems when the original domain is divided into two subdomains. The extension to multiple domains is then straightforward.

A model equation is obtained by replacing the flux term in Burgers' equation by alternatives that contain contributions depending globally on the solution. We consider the continuum of partial Ž Ž. . Ž .Ž. differential equations u s H u u q 1 y u u q u , 0 F F 1, G 0, t x x x x Ž. where H u is the Hilbert transform of u. We show that when s 1r2, for) 0, the solution of the equation exists for all time and is unique. We also show with a combination of analytical and numerical means that the solution when s 1r2 and) 0 is analytic. Using a pseudo-spectral method in space and the Adams᎐Moulton fourth-order predictor-corrector in time, we compute the numerical solution of the equation with s 1r2 for various viscosities. The results confirm that for) 0, the solution is well behaved and analytic. The numerical results also confirm that for) 0 and s 1r2, the solution becomes singular in finite time and finite viscosity prevents singularity formation. We also present, for a certain class of initial conditions, solutions of the equation, with 0-1r3 and s 1, that become infinite for G 0 in finite time.
