We present in this paper the formal passage from a kinetic model to the incompressible Navier−Stokes equations for a mixture of monoatomic gases with different masses. The starting point of this derivation is the collection of coupled Boltzmann equations for the mixture of gases. The diffusion coefficients for the concentrations of the species, as well as the ones appearing in the equations for velocity and temperature, are explicitly computed under the Maxwell molecule assumption in terms of the...
In this paper, we calculate the formal Gevrey index of the formal solution of a class of nonlinear first order totally characteristic type partial differential equations with irregular singularity in the space variable. We also prove that our index is the best possible one in a generic case.
We present some results on the formation of singularities for C^1 - solutions of the quasi-linear N × N strictly hyperbolic system Ut + A(U )Ux = 0 in [0, +∞) × Rx . Under certain weak non-linearity conditions (weaker than genuine non-linearity), we prove that the first order derivative of the solution blows-up in finite time.
In this article we describe properties of unbounded operators related to evolutionary problems. It is a survey article which also contains several new results. For instance we give a characterization of cosine functions in terms of mild well-posedness of the Cauchy problem of order 2, and we show that the property of having a bounded -calculus is stable under rank-1 perturbations whereas the property of being associated with a closed form and the property of generating a cosine function are not....
Let D be a bounded strictly pseudoconvex domain in Cn. We construct approximative solution formulas for the equation i∂∂`u = θ, θ being an exact (1,1)-form in D. We show that our formulas give simple proofs of known estimates and indicate further applications.
