The logarithmic delay of KPP fronts in a periodic medium

François Hamel, James Nolen, Jean-Michel Roquejoffre, Lenya Ryzhik (2016)

Journal of the European Mathematical Society

We extend, to parabolic equations of the KPP type in periodic media, a result of Bramson which asserts that, in the case of a spatially homogeneous reaction rate, the time lag between the position of an initially compactly supported solution and that of a traveling wave grows logarithmically in time.

The p -Laplace eigenvalue problem as p in a Finsler metric

M. Belloni, Bernhard Kawohl, P. Juutinen (2006)

Journal of the European Mathematical Society

We consider the p -Laplacian operator on a domain equipped with a Finsler metric. We recall relevant properties of its first eigenfunction for finite p and investigate the limit problem as p .

The parabolic Anderson model in a dynamic random environment: Basic properties of the quenched Lyapunov exponent

D. Erhard, F. den Hollander, G. Maillard (2014)

Annales de l'I.H.P. Probabilités et statistiques

In this paper we study the parabolic Anderson equation u ( x , t ) / t = κ 𝛥 u ( x , t ) + ξ ( x , t ) u ( x , t ) , x d , t 0 , where the u -field and the ξ -field are -valued, κ [ 0 , ) is the diffusion constant, and 𝛥 is the discrete Laplacian. The ξ -field plays the role of adynamic random environmentthat drives the equation. The initial condition u ( x , 0 ) = u 0 ( x ) , x d , is taken to be non-negative and bounded. The solution of the parabolic Anderson equation describes the evolution of a field of particles performing independent simple random walks with binary branching: particles jump...

The problems of blow-up for nonlinear heat equations. Complete blow-up and avalanche formation

Juan Luis Vázquez (2004)

Atti della Accademia Nazionale dei Lincei. Classe di Scienze Fisiche, Matematiche e Naturali. Rendiconti Lincei. Matematica e Applicazioni

We review the main mathematical questions posed in blow-up problems for reaction-diffusion equations and discuss results of the author and collaborators on the subjects of continuation of solutions after blow-up, existence of transient blow-up solutions (so-called peaking solutions) and avalanche formation as a mechanism of complete blow-up.

The quasineutral limit problem in semiconductors sciences

Ling Hsiao (2004)

Atti della Accademia Nazionale dei Lincei. Classe di Scienze Fisiche, Matematiche e Naturali. Rendiconti Lincei. Matematica e Applicazioni

The mathematical analysis on various mathematical models arisen in semiconductor science has attracted a lot of attention in both applied mathematics and semiconductor physics. It is important to understand the relations between the various models which are different kind of nonlinear system of P.D.Es. The emphasis of this paper is on the relation between the drift-diffusion model and the diffusion equation. This is given by a quasineutral limit from the DD model to the diffusion equation.

Time asymptotic description of an abstract Cauchy problem solution and application to transport equation

Boulbeba Abdelmoumen, Omar Jedidi, Aref Jeribi (2014)

Applications of Mathematics

In this paper, we study the time asymptotic behavior of the solution to an abstract Cauchy problem on Banach spaces without restriction on the initial data. The abstract results are then applied to the study of the time asymptotic behavior of solutions of an one-dimensional transport equation with boundary conditions in L 1 -space arising in growing cell populations and originally introduced by M. Rotenberg, J. Theoret. Biol. 103 (1983), 181–199.
