A study of delay integrodifferential parabolic problems (Q2511714)

The delay integro-differential parabolic problem is considered \[ \frac{\partial u}{\partial t}+Au=f(x,t,u(x,t),u(x,t-\tau),r(x,t)) \,\,\, \text{ in } \,\,\, Q=G\times I, \] \[ r(x,t)=\int_0^t f(x,s,u(x,s),u(x,s-\tau),r(x,s))ds, \] \[ u(x,t)=\phi(x,t),\,\,\,(x,t)\in G\times [-\tau,0], \] \[ B_i u=0 \,\,\, \text{ on }\,\,\, \Gamma\times I,\,\,\, i=1,\dots, \mu, \] \[ C_i u=0 \,\,\, \text{ on }\,\,\, \Gamma\times I,\,\,\, i=1,\dots, k-\mu, \] where \(G\) is bounded domain in the \(N\)-dimentional Euclidean space with the Lipschitz boundary \(\Gamma\), \(A\) is a linear differential operator of order \(2k,\) \(I=(0,T]\), \(B_i\) and \(C_i\) are some linear operators. The pair of functions \(u(t)=u(x,t)\) and \(r(t)=r(x,t)\) satisfying some conditions is called a weak solution of the problem on the interval \([-\tau, T]\). The existence and uniqueness of a weak solution are proved. Firstly, the problem on the interval \([-\tau,\tau]\) is solved. Problems on the intervals \([-\tau,2\tau],\) \([-\tau,3\tau],\dots,[-\tau,T]\) are reduced to the problem on the interval \([-\tau,\tau]\). The problem on the interval \([-\tau,\tau]\) is solving by using the method of semidiscretization. The next problem is considered for this: \[ Az^n_j+\frac{1}{h_n}z^n_j=\frac{1}{h_n}z^n_{j-1}+f^n_{j-1}, \] \[ B_iz^n_j=0 \,\,\, \text{ on }\,\,\, \Gamma,\,\,\, i=1,\dots, \mu, \] \[ C_i z^n_j=0 \,\,\, \text{ on }\,\,\, \Gamma,\,\,\, i=1,\dots, k-\mu, \] \[ z^n_0=\phi(x,0), \] \[ f^n_j=f(x,jh_n,z^n_j,\phi(x,jh_n-\tau),s^n_j), \] \[ s^n_j=h_n(f^n_0+\dots+f^n_{j-1}),\,\,\, s^n_0=0. \]
