Thesis (M.A.)--Boston University / It has been noted that the writing of a system of linear equations in matrix form quite naturally suggests the computation of an inverse matrix which may then be used to compute solutions to a system of equations in which the coefficients remain the same but the constants have been changed. The elementary properties of matrices and determinants have been reviewed and a general method of matrix inversion based on these properties was considered. The very considerable practical deficiencies of this theoretically attractive method suggested that the method would be almost completely worthless for a system larger than two by two [TRUNCATED]

It is the major purpose of this thesis to propose finite difference techniques of improved accuracy for the numerical solution of ordinary differential equations, and for the numerical evaluation of definite integrals, the former problem being discussed in Chapter II, and the latter in Chapter IV. In Chapter III the stability of the formulae evolved in Chapter II is studied.

Characterizing the long-time behavior of solutions to the Einstein field equations remains an active area of research today. In certain types of coordinates the Einstein equations form a coupled system of quasilinear wave equations. The investigation of the nature and properties of solutions to these equations lies in the field of geometric analysis. We make several contributions to the study of solution dynamics near singularities. While singularities are known to occur quite generally in solutions to the Einstein equations, the singular behavior of solutions is not well-understood. A valuable tool in this program has been to prove the existence of families of solutions which are so-called asymptotically velocity term dominated (AVTD). It turns out that a method, known as the Fuchsian method, is well-suited to proving the existence of families of such solutions. We formulate and prove a Fuchsian-type theorem for a class of quasilinear hyperbolic partial differential equations and show that the Einstein equations can be formulated as such a Fuchsian system in certain gauges, notably wave gauges. This formulation of Einstein equations provides a convenient general framework with which to study solutions within particular symmetry classes. The theorem mentioned above is applied to the class of solutions with two spatial symmetries -- both in the polarized and in the Gowdy cases -- in order to prove the existence of families of AVTD solutions. In the polarized case we find families of solutions in the smooth and Sobolev regularity classes in the areal gauge. In the Gowdy case we find a family of wave gauges, which contain the areal gauge, such that there exists a family of smooth AVTD solutions in each gauge.

In this work I study certain aspects of qualitative behaviour of solutions to nonlinear PDEs. The thesis consists of introduction and three parts. In the first part I study solutions of Emden-Fowler type elliptic equations in nondivergence form. In this part I establish the following results; 1. Asymptotic representation of solutions in conical domains; 2. A priori estimates for solutions to equations with weighted absorption term; 3. Existence and nonexistence of positive solutions to equations with source term in conical domains. In the second part I study regularity properties of nonlinear degenerate parabolic equations. There are two results here: A Harnack inequality and the H51der continuity for solutions of weighted degenerate parabolic equations with a time-independent weight from a suitable Muckenhoupt class; A new proof of the Holder continuity of solutions. The third part is propedeutic. In this part I gathered some facts and simple proofs relating to the Harnack inequality for elliptic equations. Both divergent and nondivergent case are considered. The material of this chapter is not new, but it is not very easy to find it in the literature. This chapter is built entirely upon the so-called "growth lemma" ideology (introduced by E.M. Landis).
