Removable singularities of solutions of nonlinear singular partial differential equations

Hidetoshi Tahara (1996)

Banach Center Publications

1. Introduction. The study of singularities has been one of the main subjects of research in partial differential equations. In the case of linear equations the singularities are now pretty well understood; but in the nonlinear case there seems to be still very few studies. In this paper I want to discuss the singularities of solutions of a class of nonlinear singular partial differential equations in the complex domain. The class is only a model, but it helps one understand that the situation in...

Renormalized solution for nonlinear degenerate problems in the whole space

Mohamed Maliki, Adama Ouedraogo (2008)

Annales de la faculté des sciences de Toulouse Mathématiques

We consider the general degenerate parabolic equation : u t - Δ b ( u ) + d i v F ˜ ( u ) = f in Q = ] 0 , T [ × N , T > 0 . We suppose that the flux F ˜ is continuous, b is nondecreasing continuous and both functions are not necessarily Lipschitz. We prove the existence of the renormalized solution of the associated Cauchy problem for L 1 initial data and source term. We establish the uniqueness of this type of solution under a structure condition F ˜ ( r ) = F ( b ( r ) ) and an assumption on the modulus of continuity of b . The novelty of this work is that Ω = N , u 0 , f L 1 , b , F ˜ are not Lipschitz...

Representation formulas for L∞ norms of weakly convergent sequences of gradient fields in homogenization

Robert Lipton, Tadele Mengesha (2012)

ESAIM: Mathematical Modelling and Numerical Analysis - Modélisation Mathématique et Analyse Numérique

We examine the composition of the L∞ norm with weakly convergent sequences of gradient fields associated with the homogenization of second order divergence form partial differential equations with measurable coefficients. Here the sequences of coefficients are chosen to model heterogeneous media and are piecewise constant and highly oscillatory. We identify local representation formulas that in the fine phase limit provide upper bounds on the limit superior of the L∞ norms of gradient fields. The...

Representation of equilibrium solutions to the table problem of growing sandpiles

Piermarco Cannarsa, Pierre Cardaliaguet (2004)

Journal of the European Mathematical Society

In the dynamical theory of granular matter the so-called table problem consists in studying the evolution of a heap of matter poured continuously onto a bounded domain Ω 2 . The mathematical description of the table problem, at an equilibrium configuration, can be reduced to a boundary value problem for a system of partial differential equations. The analysis of such a system, also connected with other mathematical models such as the Monge–Kantorovich problem, is the object of this paper. Our main...
