Existence of solutions for a model of self-gravitating particles with external potential

Andrzej Raczyński (2004)

Banach Center Publications

We study the existence of solutions to a nonlinear parabolic equation describing the temporal evolution of a cloud of self-gravitating particles with a given external potential. The initial data are in spaces of (generalized) pseudomeasures. We prove existence of local and global-in-time solutions, and also a kind of stability of global solutions.

Fundamental solutions for Dirac-type operators

Swanhild Bernstein (1996)

Banach Center Publications

We consider the Dirac-type operators D + a, a is a paravector in the Clifford algebra. For this operator we state a Cauchy-Green formula in the spaces C 1 ( G ) and W p 1 ( G ) . Further, we consider the Cauchy problem for this operator.

Global existence and blow up of solutions for a completely coupled Fujita type system of reaction-diffusion equations

Joanna Rencławowicz (1998)

Applicationes Mathematicae

We examine the parabolic system of three equations u t - Δu = v p , v t - Δv = w q , w t - Δw = u r , x ∈ N , t > 0 with p, q, r positive numbers, N ≥ 1, and nonnegative, bounded continuous initial values. We obtain global existence and blow up unconditionally (that is, for any initial data). We prove that if pqr ≤ 1 then any solution is global; when pqr > 1 and max(α,β,γ) ≥ N/2 (α, β, γ are defined in terms of p, q, r) then every nontrivial solution exhibits a finite blow up time.

Global existence versus blow up for some models of interacting particles

Piotr Biler, Lorenzo Brandolese (2006)

Colloquium Mathematicae

We study the global existence and space-time asymptotics of solutions for a class of nonlocal parabolic semilinear equations. Our models include the Nernst-Planck and Debye-Hückel drift-diffusion systems as well as parabolic-elliptic systems of chemotaxis. In the case of a model of self-gravitating particles, we also give a result on the finite time blow up of solutions with localized and oscillating complex-valued initial data, using a method due to S. Montgomery-Smith.

Homogenization of a Periodic Parabolic Cauchy Problem in the Sobolev Space H1 (ℝd)

T. Suslina (2010)

Mathematical Modelling of Natural Phenomena

In L2(ℝd; ℂn), we consider a wide class of matrix elliptic second order differential operators 𝒜 ε with rapidly oscillating coefficients (depending on x/ε). For a fixed τ > 0 and small ε > 0, we find approximation of the operator exponential exp(− 𝒜 ετ) in the (L2(ℝd; ℂn) → H1(ℝd; ℂn))-operator norm with an error term of order ε. In this approximation, the corrector is taken...

Homogenization of monotone systems of Hamilton-Jacobi equations

Fabio Camilli, Olivier Ley, Paola Loreti (2010)

ESAIM: Control, Optimisation and Calculus of Variations

In this paper we study homogenization for a class of monotone systems of first-order time-dependent periodic Hamilton-Jacobi equations. We characterize the Hamiltonians of the limit problem by appropriate cell problems. Hence we show the uniform convergence of the solution of the oscillating systems to the bounded uniformly continuous solution of the homogenized system.

How to produce a Ricci flow via Cheeger–Gromoll exhaustion

Esther Cabezas-Rivas, Burkhard Wilking (2015)

Journal of the European Mathematical Society

We prove short time existence for the Ricci flow on open manifolds of non-negative complex sectional curvature without requiring upper curvature bounds. By considering the doubling of convex sets contained in a Cheeger–Gromoll convex exhaustion and solving the singular initial value problem for the Ricci flow on these closed manifolds, we obtain a sequence of closed solutions of the Ricci flow with non-negative complex sectional curvature which subconverge to a Ricci flow on the open manifold. Furthermore,...

Influence of Vibrations on Convective Instability of Reaction Fronts in Liquids

K. Allali, F. Bikany, A. Taik, V. Volpert (2010)

Mathematical Modelling of Natural Phenomena

Propagation of polymerization fronts with liquid monomer and liquid polymer is considered and the influence of vibrations on critical conditions of convective instability is studied. The model includes the heat equation, the equation for the concentration and the Navier-Stokes equations considered under the Boussinesq approximation. Linear stability analysis of the problem is fulfilled, and the convective instability boundary is found depending on...

Influence of Vibrations on Convective Instability of Reaction Fronts in Porous Media

H. Aatif, K. Allali, K. El Karouni (2010)

Mathematical Modelling of Natural Phenomena

The aim of this paper is to study the effect of vibrations on convective instability of reaction fronts in porous media. The model contains reaction-diffusion equations coupled with the Darcy equation. Linear stability analysis is carried out and the convective instability boundary is found. The results are compared with direct numerical simulations.
