We study the large time asymptotic behavior of solutions of the doubly degenerate parabolic equation $u_t=\mathrm{div}(u^{m-1}{\left|Du\right|}^{p-2}Du)-u^q$ with an initial condition $u(x,0)=u_0\left(x\right)$. Here the exponents $m$, $p$ and $q$ satisfy $m+p\ge 3$, $p>1$ and $q>m+p-2$.

Large time behavior of the solution to the nonlinear integro-differential equation associated with the penetration of a magnetic field into a substance is studied. Furthermore, the rate of convergence is given. Initial-boundary value problem with mixed boundary conditions is considered.

% We study the large time behaviour of entropy solutions of the Cauchy problem for a possibly degenerate nonlinear diffusion equation with a nonlinear convection term. The initial function is assumed to have bounded total variation. We prove the convergence of the solution to the entropy solution of a Riemann problem for the corresponding first order conservation law.

We study the large time behaviour of the solutions of a nonlocal regularisation of a scalar conservation law. This regularisation is given by a fractional derivative of order $1+\alpha$, with $\alpha \in (0,1)$, which is a Riesz-Feller operator. The nonlinear flux is given by the locally Lipschitz function ${\left|u\right|}^{q-1}u/q$ for $q>1$. We show that in the sub-critical case, $1<q<1+\alpha$, the large time behaviour is governed by the unique entropy solution of the scalar conservation law. Our proof adapts the proofs of the analogous results for the local...

In this talk we shall present some joint work with A. Grigory’an. Upper and lower estimates on the rate of decay of the heat kernel on a complete non-compact riemannian manifold have recently been obtained in terms of the geometry at infinity of the manifold, more precisely in terms of a kind of $L^2$ isoperimetric profile. The main point is to connect the decay of the $L^1-L^{\infty }$ norm of the heat semigroup with some adapted Nash or Faber-Krahn inequalities, which is done by functional analytic methods. We shall...

This note is devoted to the study of the long time behaviour of solutions to the heat and the porous medium equations in the presence of an external source term, using entropy methods and self-similar variables. Intermediate asymptotics and convergence results are shown using interpolation inequalities, Gagliardo-Nirenberg-Sobolev inequalities and Csiszár-Kullback type estimates.

We prove the large time existence of solutions to the magnetohydrodynamics equations with slip boundary conditions in a cylindrical domain. Assuming smallness of the L₂-norms of the derivatives of the initial velocity and of the magnetic field with respect to the variable along the axis of the cylinder, we are able to obtain an estimate for the velocity and the magnetic field in $W{₂}^{2,1}$ without restriction on their magnitude. Then the existence follows from the Leray-Schauder fixed point theorem.

We prove that any zero solution of a hypoelliptic partial differential operator can be expanded in a generalized Laurent series near a point singularity if and only if the operator is semielliptic. Moreover, the coefficients may be calculated by means of a Cauchy integral type formula. In particular, we obtain explicit expansions for the solutions of the heat equation near a point singularity. To prove the necessity of semiellipticity, we additionally assume that the index of hypoellipticity with...

This paper is concerned with generalized, discontinuous solutions of initial value problems for nonlinear first order partial differential equations. “Layering” is a method of approximating an arbitrary generalized solution by dividing its domain, say a half-space $t\ge 0$, into thin layers $(i-\ell )h\le t\le ih$, $i=1,2,...(h\&gt;0)$, and using a strict solution $u_i$ in the $i$-th layer. On the interface $t=(i-\ell )h$, $u_t$ is required to reduce to a smooth function approximating the values on that plane of $u_{i-\ell }$. The resulting stratified configuration of strict solutions...
