Singular limit of a transmission problem for the parabolic phase-field model

Giulio Schimperna (2000)

Applications of Mathematics

A transmission problem describing the thermal interchange between two regions occupied by possibly different fluids, which may present phase transitions, is studied in the framework of the Caginalp-Fix phase field model. Dirichlet (or Neumann) and Cauchy conditions are required. A regular solution is obtained by means of approximation techniques for parabolic systems. Then, an asymptotic study of the problem is carried out as the time relaxation parameter for the phase field tends to 0 in one of...

Smooth solutions of systems of quasilinear parabolic equations

Alain Bensoussan, Jens Frehse (2002)

ESAIM: Control, Optimisation and Calculus of Variations

We consider in this article diagonal parabolic systems arising in the context of stochastic differential games. We address the issue of finding smooth solutions of the system. Such a regularity result is extremely important to derive an optimal feedback proving the existence of a Nash point of a certain class of stochastic differential games. Unlike in the case of scalar equation, smoothness of solutions is not achieved in general. A special structure of the nonlinear hamiltonian seems to be the...

Solitary wave and other solutions for nonlinear heat equations

Anatoly Nikitin, Tetyana Barannyk (2004)

Open Mathematics

A number of explicit solutions for the heat equation with a polynomial non-linearity and for the Fisher equation is presented. An extended class of non-linear heat equations admitting solitary wave solutions is described. The generalization of the Fisher equation is proposed whose solutions propagate with arbitrary ad hoc fixed velocity.

Soluzioni di tipo barriera

Matteo Novaga (2001)

Bollettino dell'Unione Matematica Italiana

We present the general theory of barrier solutions in the sense of De Giorgi, and we consider different applications to ordinary and partial differential equations. We discuss, in particular, the case of second order geometric evolutions, where the barrier solutions turn out to be equivalent to the well-known viscosity solutions.
