Hysteresis operators in phase-field models of Penrose-fife type

Pavel Krejčí, Jürgen Sprekels (1998)

Applications of Mathematics

Phase-field systems as mathematical models for phase transitions have drawn a considerable attention in recent years. However, while they are suitable for capturing many of the experimentally observed phenomena, they are only of restricted value in modelling hysteresis effects occurring during phase transition processes. To overcome this shortcoming of existing phase-field theories, the authors have recently proposed a new approach to phase-field models which is based on the mathematical theory...

Identification of source term in a nonlinear degenerate parabolic equation with memory

Soufiane Abid, Khalid Atifi, El-Hassan Essoufi, Abderrahim Zafrar (2024)

Applications of Mathematics

In this work, we consider an inverse backward problem for a nonlinear parabolic equation of the Burgers' type with a memory term from final data. To this aim, we first establish the well-posedness of the direct problem. On the basis of the optimal control framework, the existence and necessary condition of the minimizer for the cost functional are established. The global uniqueness and stability of the minimizer are deduced from the necessary condition. Numerical experiments demonstrate the effectiveness...

Implicit difference methods for quasilinear parabolic functional differential problems of the Dirichlet type

K. Kropielnicka (2008)

Applicationes Mathematicae

Classical solutions of quasilinear functional differential equations are approximated with solutions of implicit difference schemes. Proofs of convergence of the difference methods are based on a comparison technique. Nonlinear estimates of the Perron type with respect to the functional variable for given functions are used. Numerical examples are given.

Involutive formulation and simulation for electroneutral microfluids

Bijan Mohammadi, Jukka Tuomela (2011)

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

We study a microfluidic flow model where the movement of several charged species is coupled with electric field and the motion of ambient fluid. The main numerical difficulty in this model is the net charge neutrality assumption which makes the system essentially overdetermined. Hence we propose to use the involutive and the associated augmented form of the system in numerical computations. Numerical experiments on electrophoresis and stacking show that the completed system significantly improves...
