Abstract
We consider a Cauchy problem for the Laplace equation in a bounded region containing a cut, where the region is formed by removing a sufficiently smooth arc (the cut) from a bounded simply connected domain D. The aim is to reconstruct the solution on the cut from the values of the solution and its normal derivative on the boundary of the domain D. We propose an alternating iterative method which involves solving direct mixed problems for the Laplace operator in the same region. These mixed problems have either a Dirichlet or a Neumann boundary condition imposed on the cut and are solved by a potential approach. Each of these mixed problems is reduced to a system of integral equations of the first kind with logarithmic and hypersingular kernels and at most a square root singularity in the densities at the endpoints of the cut. The full discretization of the direct problems is realized by a trigonometric quadrature method which has super-algebraic convergence. The numerical examples presented illustrate the feasibility of the proposed method.

Abstract
In this paper we review the technique of hierarchical matrices and put it into the context of black-box solvers for large linear systems. Numerical examples for several classes of problems from medium- to large-scale illustrate the applicability and efficiency of this technique. We compare the results with those of several direct solvers (which typically scale quadratically in the matrix size) as well as an iterative solver (algebraic multigrid) which scales linearly (if it converges in O(1) steps).

Abstract
In this paper, we study nonlinear two-point boundary value problems (BVPs) which depend on an external control parameter. In order to determine numeri-cally the singular points (turning or bifurcation points) of such a problem with so-called extended systems and to realize branch switching, some information on the type of the singularity is required. In this paper, we propose a strategy to gain numerically this information. It is based on strongly equivalent approximations of the corresponding Liapunov — Schmidt reduced function which are generated by a simplified Newton method. The graph of the reduced function makes it possible to determine the type of singularity. The efficiency of our numerical-graphical technique is demonstrated for two BVPs.

Abstract
The stability of implicit difference scheme for parabolic equations subject to integral conditions, which correspond to the quasi-static flexure of a thermoelastic rod is considered. The stability analysis is based on the spectral structure of matrix of the difference scheme. The stability conditions obtained here differ from those presented in the articles of other authors..

Abstract
In this paper we investigate an initial boundary value problem for a one-dimensional hyperbolic equation in two disconnected intervals. A finite difference scheme approximating this problem is proposed and analyzed. An estimate of the convergence rate has been obtained.

Abstract
At the present time, the domain decomposition methods are considered as the most promising ones for parallel computer systems. Nowadays success is attained mainly in solving approximately the classical boundary value problems for second-order elliptic equations. As for the time-dependent problems of mathematical physics, there are, in common use, approaches based on ordinary implicit schemes and implemented via iterative methods of the domain decomposition. An alternative technique is based on the non-iterative schemes (region-additive schemes). On the basis of the general theory of additive schemes a wide class of difference schemes (alternative directions, locally one-dimensional, factorized schemes, summarized approximation schemes, vec-tor additive schemes, etc.) as applied to the domain decomposition technique for time-dependent problems with synchronous and asynchronous implementations has been investigated. For nonstationary problems with self-adjoint operators, we have considered three dif-ferent types of decomposition operators corresponding to the Dirichlet and Neumann conditions on the subdomain boundaries. General stability conditions have been obtained for the region-additive schemes. We focused on the accuracy of domain decom-position schemes. In particular, the dependence of the convergence rate on the width of subdomain overlapping has been investigated as the primary property. In the present paper, new classes of domain decomposition schemes for nonstationary problems, based on the subdomain overlaping and minimal data exchange in solving problems in subdomains, have been constructed.
