We carry out a systematic numerical stability analysis of ZND detonations of Majda's model with Arrhenius-type ignition function, a simplified model for reacting flow, as heat release and activation energy are varied. Our purpose is, first,…
For the ZND model, we show also singularity formation on the downstream side for arbitrary exponentially-growing weighted norms. For the Majda model on the other hand, we establish for appropriate such weighted norms a set of energy…

Numerically solving the 2D Helmholtz equation is widely known to be very difficult largely due to its highly oscillatory solution, which brings about the pollution effect. A very fine mesh size is necessary to deal with a large wavenumber…
