In this paper, we consider the interaction of a kink of the $\varphi^4$ equation with two identical extended impurities. An extended impurity is described using a rectangular function. The case of an attractive impurity is analyzed. Using analytical methods, we consider the case of small amplitudes of localized waves, when it is possible to linearize the equations of motion. For the numerical solution, the method of lines for partial differential equations was used. To find the oscillation frequencies of waves localized on impurities, the discrete Fourier transform is used. The kink was launched in the direction of the impurities with different initial velocities. The distance between the two impurities was also varied. It is shown that when a kink interacts with impurities, long-lived localized breather-type waves are excited on them. Their structure and coupled dynamics are investigated. It is determined how, by changing the parameters of the impurities and the distance between them, it is possible to control the type and dynamic parameters of the coupled oscillations of the waves localized on the impurities. Possible solutions in the form of in-phase, antiphase oscillations, in the form of beats are found. The oscillations of localized waves occur with the emission of small-amplitude waves. The spectrum of these emissions consists of two frequencies. The first is approximately equal to $\sqrt{2}$, which corresponds to the frequency value for the wobbling breather tail of the $\varphi^4$ equation. The second is approximately equal to the doubled frequency of impurity mode oscillations. The presence of two possible frequencies for coupled localized oscillations is found both analytically and numerically. It is shown that the frequencies strongly depend on the distance between impurities. With increasing distance between impurities, the frequencies merge into one — frequency obtained for the case of a single impurity. The dependences of the frequencies on the distance between impurities found numerically and analytically coincide well for large distances, when the interaction between impurities is weak, and begin to differ noticeably at small distances, when the interaction between impurities is strong. The analytical value of the obtained frequencies is always greater than the numerical ones. It is shown that the dependence of the amplitude of localized waves on the initial kink velocity has several minima and maxima.

The mathematical model for aeroelastic oscillations of a narrow channel wall with a nonlinear-elastic suspension and interacting with a pulsating viscous gas layer is proposed. Within the framework of this model, the aeroelastic response of the channel wall and its phase response were determined and investigated. The authors simultaneously studied the influence of the nonlinear stiffness elastic suspension of the wall, compressibility and dissipative properties of gas, as well as the inertia of its motion on the wall oscillations. The model was elaborated based on the formulation and solution of the initial boundary-value plane problem of mathematical physics. The problem governing equations include the equations of dynamics for barotropic viscous gas, equation of dynamics for the rigid wall as the spring-mass nonlinear oscillator. Using the perturbation method, the asymptotic analysis of the problem was carried out. The solution of the equations of dynamics for the thin layer of viscous gas was obtained by the iteration method. As a result, the law of gas pressure distribution in the channel was determined and the initial problem of aeroelasticity was reduced to the study of the generalized Duffing equation. Its solution was realized by the harmonic balance method, which allowed us to determine the aeroelastic and phase responses of the channel wall in the form of implicit functions. The numerical study of these responses was carried out to evaluate the influence for inertia of gas motion and its compressibility, as well as a comparison of the results obtained with the special cases of creeping motion of viscous gas and incompressible viscous fluid. The results of this study have shown the importance of simultaneous consideration of compressibility and inertia of viscous gas motion when modeling aeroelastic oscillations of the considered channel wall.

This study develops a previously proposed Method of Computer Analogy (MCA) based on formalization of digital computer operations. The paper discusses the position of the proposed approach among other well-known methods. It is emphasized that the primary objective is to derive analytical solutions, although in some cases they have to resort to semianalytical approximations. The paper focuses on constructing solutions for systems which, for certain parameter values, demonstrate the deterministic chaos behavior, namely Lorenz, Marioka – Shimitsu and R¨ossler systems. The paper also considers obtaining solution for Van der Pol equation (reduced to a nonlinear system). The aim of the study is to construct semi-analytical solutions represented as a segment of a power series in a step size of approximating difference scheme. To prevent overflow, authors formalize rank transfer operation. The authors apply a convergent difference scheme, referred to as the “guiding” scheme, to advance to the next step of the independent variable. The resulting approximation by a sum with only a few terms provides an approximation to the solution with any accuracy in accordance with the accuracy of the governing difference scheme. The senior digits in the resulting approximation exhibit probabilistic properties that can be modeled by known distributions, thereby enabling the derivation of analytical and semi-analytical approximations. The paper presents linear approximations that are the base for a complete approximations of solutions and provide important qualitative as well as some quantitative properties of solutions of considered systems. This work describes approximations of various orders, including those that do not guarantee convergence to the exact solution, but simplify the analysis of certain properties of nonlinear equations and systems. In particular, for the Van der Pol equation, authors demonstrate that its corresponding system has a cyclic solution and provide an estimate of its scale. A modification of the MCA that has features of the Monte Carlo method makes it possible to remove recurrent sequences and construct complete solutions in simple situations. The authors mention a promising approach for representing the solution using branched continued fractions.

In this paper the problem of searching for the design of the magnetic system for creation a magnetic field with the required characteristics in the given area is solved. On the basis of analysis of the mathematical model of the magnetic system rather a general approach is proposed to the solving of the inverse problem, which is written by the Fredgolm equation H(z) = ∫_SIJ(s)G(z, s)ds, z ∈ S _H, s ∈ S _I . It was necessary to define the current density distribution function J(s) and the existing winding geometry for creation of a required magnetic field H(z). In the paper a method of solving those by means of regularized iterative processes is proposed. On the base of the concrete magnetic system we perform the numerical study of influence of different factors on the character of the magnetic field being designed.

New key parameters, namely b₀ = tgθ₀, θ₀ — angle of throwing, R_a — top curvature radius and β₀ — dimensionless speed square on the top of low angular trajectory were suggested in classic problem of integrating nonlinear equations of point mass projectile motion with quadratic air drag. Very precise formulae were obtained in a new way for coordinates x(b), y(b) and fly time t(b), b = tgθ where θ is inclination angle. This method is based on Legendre transformation and its precision is automatically improved in wide range of the θ₀ values and drag force parameters α. The precision was monitored by Maple computing product.

It is proved that this kind of state equation which closed model equations system and obtained from the experimentally observed form of the fundamental diagram — dependence the traffic intensity from its density, completely determines the all properties of the used phenomenological model.

The article deals with the local and double local estimation of the Monte Carlo method for solving the equation of global illumination. The local estimation allows calculating the illumination at any point at the approximation of diffuse reflection, whereas the double local estimation allows calculating directly the luminance at a given point in a given direction. The article presents the mathematical basis of local estimations and the basic stages of the software implementation. The representation of three-dimensional objects in the basis of spherical functions and the possibility of using them in the local estimations are also considered.

We consider two versions of the maximum cross section method for the solutions of the stationary equation of radiative transfer in dimensional inhomogeneous medium. Both are based on the application Monte-Carlo method to the summation of the Neumann series for the solution transport equation. First modification is traditional and second is based on the use of branching Markov chains. We carried out numerical comparison of these algorithms.

The paper presents results that confirm the ability to control the movement of the kink of the modified sine-Gordon equation with variable external force parameters. Three types of external influences have been considered: permanent action, periodic action with a constant frequency and a frequency-modulated periodic exposure. The dependences of the position and velocity of the kink on time for various values of the parameters of external influence were obtained using the method of McLaughlin and Scott. It is shown that by changing the settings, one can adjust the velocity and direction of movement of the kink.

We describe the programming model of finite element method, which supports parallelism on different stages of numerical simulations. Using this model, we develop parallel algorithms of numerical integration for dynamic problems and local stiffness matrices. For constructing and solving the systems of equations, we use the CUDA programming platform.
