Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

When exact mathematical results are not available, or too unwieldy to be of much use, we have the option of modifying our original orientation to derive just concise and precise estimates of quantities. The methods in asymptotic analysis are incredibly powerful in deriving approximate solutions of problems. This Special Issue aims to collect and disseminate new advances in asymptotic analysis, especially its application in combinatorics.

Abstract
We conducted a comprehensive comparative study of numerical solvers for the generalized Korteweg–de Vries (gKdV) equation, focusing on classical Fourier-based Crank–Nicolson methods and physics-informed neural networks (PINNs). Our work benchmarks these approaches across nonlinear regimes—including the cubic case (ν=3)—and [...] Read more.
We conducted a comprehensive comparative study of numerical solvers for the generalized Korteweg–de Vries (gKdV) equation, focusing on classical Fourier-based Crank–Nicolson methods and physics-informed neural networks (PINNs). Our work benchmarks these approaches across nonlinear regimes—including the cubic case (ν=3)—and diverse initial conditions such as solitons, smooth pulses, discontinuities, and noisy profiles. In addition to pure PINN and spectral models, we propose a novel hybrid PINN–spectral method incorporating a regularization term based on Fourier reference solutions, leading to improved accuracy and stability. Numerical experiments show that while spectral methods achieve superior efficiency in structured domains, PINNs provide flexible, mesh-free alternatives for data-driven and irregular setups. The hybrid model achieves lower relative L2 error and better captures soliton interactions. Our results demonstrate the complementary strengths of spectral and machine learning methods for nonlinear dispersive PDEs. Full article

In this article, we consider the equations of the nonlinear model of a thermoelastic extensible Timoshenko beam, recently derived by Aouadi in the context of Fourier’s law. The new aspect we propose here is to introduce a second sound model in the temperatures which turns into a Gurtin–Pipkin’s model. Thus, the derived equations are physically more realistic since they overcome the property of infinite propagation speed (Fourier’s law property). They are also characterized by the presence of a symport term. Moreover, it is possible to recover the Fourier, Cattaneo and Coleman–Gurtin laws from the derived system by considering a scaled kernel instead of the original kernel through an appropriate singular limit method. The well-posedness of the derived problem is proved by means of the semigroups theory. Then, we show that the associated linear semigroup (without extensibility and with a constant symport term) is not differentiable by an approach based on the Gearhart–Herbst–Prüss–Huang theorem. The lack of analyticity and impossibility of localization of the solutions in time are immediate consequences. Then, by using a resolvent criterion developed by Borichev and Tomilov, we prove the optimality of the polynomial decay rate of the same associated linear semigroup under a condition on the physical coefficients. In particular, we show that the considered problem is not exponentially stable. Moreover, by following a result according to Arendt–Batty, we show that the linear semigroup is strongly stable.

In this paper, we develop a hybrid approach to solve the viscous Burgers’ equation by combining classical boundary layer theory with modern Physics-Informed Neural Networks (PINNs). The boundary layer theory provides an approximate analytical solution to the equation, particularly in regimes where viscosity dominates. PINNs, on the other hand, offer a data-driven framework that can address complex boundary and initial conditions more flexibly. We demonstrate that PINNs capture the key dynamics of the Burgers’ equation, such as shock wave formation and the smoothing effects of viscosity, and show how the combination of these methods provides a powerful tool for solving nonlinear partial differential equations.
