Fractional-Step Method with Interpolation for Solving a System of First-Order 2D Hyperbolic Delay Differential Equations

Abstract

In this article, we consider a delayed system of first-order hyperbolic differential equations. The presence of the delay term in first-order hyperbolic delay differential equations poses significant challenges in both analysis and numerical solutions. The delay term also makes it more difficult to use standard numerical methods for solving differential equations, as these methods often require that the differential equation be evaluated at the current time step. To overcome these challenges, specialized numerical methods and analytical techniques have been developed for solving first-order hyperbolic delay differential equations. We investigated and presented analytical results, such as the maximum principle and stability results. The propagation of discontinuities in the solution was also discussed, providing a framework for understanding its behavior. We presented a fractional-step method using a backward finite difference scheme and showed that the scheme is almost first-order convergent in space and time through the derivation of the error estimate. Additionally, we demonstrated an application of the proposed method to the problem of variable delay differential equations. We demonstrated the practical application of the proposed method to solving variable delay differential equations. The proposed algorithm is based on a numerical approximation method that utilizes a finite difference scheme to discretize the differential equation. We validated our theoretical results through numerical experiments.

The Mechanism of Resonant Amplification of One-Dimensional Detonation Propagating in a Non-Uniform Mixture

“…The numerical method in use differs from most CFD algorithms; see, for example, [13][14][15], which imply that the defining system of equations is solved in a fixed laboratory frame of reference. When building a computational algorithm, the main difficulty was in integrating the system of Equation ( 4) due to the non-uniform distribution of density.…”
